take it with the love it’s given

Propaganda:

Hajime & Nagito

Hajime is the protagonist, a normal student surrounded by “Ultimates” who are supposed to be the best in the world at their talents. Nagito is the Ultimate Lucky Student, and he’s completely fixated on “hope” to a dangerous degree. At first he’s friendly to Hajime, almost weirdly gentle with him, and Hajime actually feels calmer around him. Which is requited - Nagito is fascinated by Hajime from the start. He jokes that Hajime could be the “Ultimate Serenity” because his presence calms him, and he keeps seeking him out. Then Nagito’s whole deal gets revealed and their relationship turns into suspicion, fascination, and Hajime still trying to understand him even when everyone else is completely done.

The thing with them is that Nagito gets under Hajime’s skin like nobody else. He irritates him, scares him, challenges him, and still somehow keeps pulling his attention back. And Nagito is just as fixated on Hajime. Even after finding out Hajime has no Ultimate talent, he’s still emotional about him and confused by how much he cares. He literally has a moment of “why do I care about you?” That’s the good stuff. That’s the messy canon fuel.

Also Nagito’s Free Time Events are insane. “I’m truly in love with y- ...with the hope that sleeps inside you” and then Hajime thinking he feels a mysterious bond with him? Come on.
