one of the kinds of naegami i love is where togami is breaking into pieces as he realizes he’s in love

his whole life he’s been taught and has beat it into himself that love is a weakness and won’t help get farther in life and you should eliminate it from your thoughts, so he’s constantly told himself that he’s above all these people, they’re not worthy of his thoughts let alone his sentiment so he’s never let himself love

he meets naegi, and he doesn’t think anything of him except that he’s beneath him just like everybody else and why does he keep talking to him?

but naegi actually makes an effort to get a smile out of the kid and get to know him at least a little and nobody’s ever shown him kindness without an alterior motive and he’s wary of naegi because obviously he can’t actually care about him so what’s his deal? what’s he trying to gain here? but he soon realizes that naegi genuinely cares and he’s a little bewildered

and it would’ve been enough, but then naegi had to be smart. he had to be able to solve the mysteries and get through the trials. he couldn’t just be unflinchingly kind to someone who’s never had someone to be kind to him, but he just happens to not be just a pawn in this life and death game, but a player. and that’s when togami realizes that he’s screwed.

and since togami’s still just a teenager, obviously one day he happens to think about doing those things with naegi and woah boy. he tries to crush it as soon as it happens but it’s so damn difficult. 

and all he can do is think about him until one day he finally angrily grabs naegi by the collar and pull him close and bark that he cares about him dammit, why can’t he notice? and naegi smiles sheepishly and says that he has noticed, and he’s glad he did so he knows the feeling is mutual.
