Hajime x guard!reader (requested)

Requested by RainbowSkelanimal and radiocrazegirl27. Since I have quite a lot of requests to do, and you both asked for the same thing, I decided to combine it. Hope you don't mind! 

"Damn those inmates..." You muttered, trying to free yourself from the net you've been captured in, "They're making me look like a failure as guard."
You had been chasing after the guys from cell 13 who escaped once again, but you, having a bad sense of direction, got lost. And on top of that, you had triggered a trap, ending up in a net a few meters off the ground.

"Hajime will never think of me as a good guard like this..." You managed to free yourself, and began to walk in a random direction, having no idea where you are right now.

"I... I want him to be proud of me... But every time I chase after those inmates, something goes wrong... I get lost or--"

You abruptly stopped talking to yourself when you heard footsteps behind you.

Turning around, your eyes widened in shock when you found Hajime standing there.

"T-The inmates went t-that way!" You quickly pointed into the direction you were about to go before he showed up, starting to run right after saying that.

But you were soon stopped by a hand on your shoulder.

"(y/n), you don't have to lie to me. You got lost and have no idea where the inmates went, am I right?"

"Yes... that's right..." You clenched your fists, tears rolling down your face as you turned back to your supervisor, "I'm sorry. I'm s-such a failure. I really suck at this work. Maybe I shouldn't even be a guard--"

"Enough!" The sudden high volume of Hajime's voice made you jump and tremble in fear.

"I don't wanna hear you say such things about yourself! You're a good guard. It's okay if you can't capture those inmates, and you're not the only one with a bad sense of direction."

"B-But... Hajime, I just... want you to be proud of me. But with the way I'm performing, there's no way you ever will..." Sighing, you dried your tears with the sleeve of your uniform's jacket, "I wanna become a better guard so you can be proud of me."

A moment of silence followed, until Hajime spoke up.

"I am proud of you, (y/n)," He lightly pat your head, "You've been doing your work good so far. Of course you could become much better at it, but for now it's good enough."

"Really...?" You stared up at him in disbelief.

"Yes, really. No need to think so negative about yourself, alright?"

"T-Thanks..." A light shade of red appeared on your cheeks, and you smiled at his words.

"Enough talking, we got some inmates to catch," He said, grabbing your hand to drag you with him, "And I don't want you to get lost again."
