Diner AU - Scrambled Eggs

I was debating on whether to go with another drabble about the Diner AU (and which one) or to post something completely different (from another AU). I'm deciding on this because my backlog of things is plentiful but also I have to clean them up a lil. Have some Komaru and Makoto (with Byakuya and Shuichi cameos) + some Komahina permeating throughout.

“Komaeda, I swear to God, you better order. You’ve been here for hours and haven’t eaten anything.”

“Or what?” The white-haired male grins, all innocently sharp, but he knows better. The absolute nerve of this guy! “That doesn’t seem very server-like of you, Hinata.”

“I’ll show you server-like!” He growls, and he’s about to grab Komaeda by his shirt when he gets bonked upside the head.

“Hey, no abusing the customers, you uncultured swine.” Togami scolds. He notices said customer and quickly adds, “Even if it is Komaeda.” 

“Ah, Togami! I apologize profusely on behalf of Hajime’s behaviour.”

“What the hell, Nagito!?” 

Togami fixes the brunette with a glare. “Hinata, quit it.”

A couple feet away, Komaru tilts her head at the exchange. She immediately scurries into the back, where she knows her brother is at the moment. “Um, Makoto?” 

Makoto hums, balancing a plate in both hands, and they walk and talk. “What’s up, Komaru?”

“I’ve never seen Hajime less than civil before. I know he can get angry, but I’ve never seen him outright attack someone.”

Her brother pauses and blinks at her. She stares back, confused.

He starts chuckling. 

“H-hey, what’s so funny? Isn’t this really concerning…?”

“No- ha!-, you’re absolutely right, I’m sorry for laughing- here’s your order! Enjoy!-, I just realized who you were talking about. Hajime and Nagito, right?” 

“Ah, sorry!” 

They both move out of Shuichi’s way, who nearly collides a glass of juice into them. She rights the glass. Shuichi gives her a nod in gratitude.

Makoto slides into a chair when all the customers are happily munching along. “Phew! I really needed this break. Thank goodness the lunch hour is all over.” Makoto chuckles. “So, you wanna talk about Nagito, right?”

Komaru nods.

“I’m not really sure what’s going on, but I just know they weren’t always like that? When Hajime first started, they were pretty civil. At some point, something happened? And now they’re at each other’s throats.” 

She looks over at the table, the way Hajime is leering at the white-haired guy “Nagito”. How the other gives him a calm smile and half-lidded eyes. How Hajime notices and immediately turns away, with… wait, is he blushing? 

Holy shit, Touko would call her delusional, and a mangaka, but-

“Oh, I get it now!” 

“Hmm?" Makoto scratches his cheek. “You… ‘get it’? Did you notice something I don’t?”

She snorts. It’s only an assumption, but… “Yeah, you’re pretty oblivious, big bro.” When she spots Makoto’s concerned frown, she stops the teasing. “I think they’ll be able to work it out.”

Her brother lets out a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear. I don’t know how you can tell, but you were always better than me about this stuff. Nagito’s… interesting… but he seems like a genuinely decent guy.”
