You weren't use to setting the table.

Usually you and your parents would have family dinners in the living room, but apparently this time was different. Your nerves couldn't help but calm with each plate and utensil set on the table. A content sigh left your mouth as you admired your "work".

'Nice'

Even though it was a small task, it still filled you with a tinge blissful joy. You were snapped out of your thoughts by a gentle hand on your shoulder.

"You did a good job"

Mayumi gave you a soft smile, and you returned one back. Jasmine gently ruffled your hair as she started to put the food on the plates. Once you were all seated, your family dinner began...

With the exception of forks clinking on plates, it was deafeningly quiet. Your nerves began to act up again. After another minute of quiet, Mayumi was the first to break the ice.

"Uhm, so we've heard from your teacher that you've been making new friends at school."

You visibly choked on your food, coughing as you did so. How'd they know, and most importantly, why were they bringing it up? You could see your mom start getting nervous.

"Oh you dont have worry, we just want to know who your hanging around"

While you appreciated her being upfront about it, but you still didn't want to exactly talk about it. Especially with a certain someone in your room. You started to play with your food as you began speaking.

"He's just a close friend"

"He's?"

'... oops'

You overestimated, they didn'tknow nearly as much as you thought they did. You tried to start to defend yourself, but before you could Jasmine began to tease. She rested her head on her hand as she began.

"Aw, you didn't even introduce us to your new boyfriend"

"MOM-"

A flush rose on your face as you tried your best to stop your mom from saying anything you didn't want Kokichi could hear. Unfortunately you forgot you had more than one to stop.

"We just wanted to get to meet them"

You shot a playful glare towards mayumi. Both of your moms laughed at your embarrassed reaction. Teasing was practically ritual whenever family dinners were had, but it was different when the other person was in the house. Unfortunately for you, the teasing didn't die down until the end of dinner. Even despite the banter and seemingly endless teasing, you still couldn't help but laugh and tease back. By the end of dinner a genuine smile was stuck to your face.

After everything was cleaned after dinner and hugs were exchanged, you happily made your way to your room, sneaking some food in with you. Once you opened your room door your smile couldn't help but begin to drop. Kokichi was sitting on your bed, visibly troubled. Once you made your presence known he quickly tried to cover it; But, as per usual, you easily noticed.

"Hey..."

A weak smile stayed on your face as you began making your way towards him. You sat down next to him, giving him the food in the process. Even when he took it, he still had a thousand mile stare.

"Hey... you okay?"

You softly put your hand on his shoulder. Even with your gentleness he still flinched under your touch. As soon as he flinched your smile was wiped off your face. You swiftly removed you hand as your worry doubled.
