Nagito Komaeda
Komaeda was about to proceed to climb up the stairs, yawning as he went until the little albino grabbed hold of his wrist, now giving the other his full attention. He seemed rather frantic to get an answer - it was strange how committed he was to wanting to befriend scum like him. The taller boy kept going up the stairs as he let Suzuya talk, knowing it was probably something trivial like if he could grab him a piece of candy. Of course, he was still going to listen to the albino's request no matter how pointless it might be.
At hearing Suzuya's statement though, the taller boy nearly tripped and fell down the spiraling staircase from the shock, having to stick out his arms to balance himself. Did.. did he hear him right? He said something about love.. and.. no, it's unthinkable that he would have directed it at him. Perhaps he was reciting something he'd say to his father he talked so much about - it would make more sense. He didn't look at the albino because of terrible thoughts drifting around his head he should never think about - or even dare to dream because he knew it would never happen, and as a result, he'd ended up quite flustered. Nobody loved him, he wasn't worthy to be loved, it was probably a mistake or Suzuya just said the wrong thing. Everyone who he did care for left or had their lives taken.
His theory was soon proven wrong, however - in the next few moments of Komaeda thinking to himself, Suzuya said something beyond his wildest dreams. He had requested him -
him to be his boyfriend. He felt his right eye grow watery after he stopped looking so surprised and promptly wiped at it with his thumb. It felt so nice hearing that word.. to be his. It felt nice to know someone liked him enough to ask him something like that, something he's never been asked before. If someone were to go through so much effort and liked him enough to request of him to be his lover, he wasn't going to deny it - he would wholeheartedly accept, despite the fact he was afraid to get closer to people. He didn't want to lose anyone else, and Suzuya.. he had to admit, he enjoyed every moment he had with him. And him, of all people confessing to him was probably the best thing that's happened to him in 11 years.
Even if this relationship ever turned out to be fake, a farce - he would be happy simply because someone was able to say that to him. So, after putting all these things in consideration, he flashed a genuine smile to the boy:
"Of course, Suzuya. I'll be your boyfriend," the boy smiled, obviously happy from the situation and looking down at the ground with a smile as he helped the other up the stairs.
