Shuichi and kokichi entered into the familiar home with kokichi's dads "alright! Ko take shuichi-kun to his new room!"daiki beamed "oh and shuichi-kun please come down when you're done setting up" hiro smiled, shuichi noded and limped up the stairs with his crutches.

"A-alright..this is your room! F-feel free to decorate it however you want..you're living here now!"kokichi smiled holding the door open
"Thank you again kichi-chan, for everything! You're amazing" shuichi smiled widely "n-no problem..its really my parents i didnt do much—" kokichi started rambling as shuichi chuckled nd sat on his new bed "nope! You did more than you could ever imagine! I mean you're practicality the only reason I'm alive" shuichi announced non chelantly putting his crutches aside "h-how? Is that...you mean h-helping you to the ER or when you're hurt right?" Kokichi reasoned twiddling with his thumbs " you'd think...its more like..hmmm" shuichi pondered "i got it! You're like my will to live" shuichi smiled, kokichi's heart skipped a beat and his face flushed bright red "w-what? What does that mean?"c shuichi laughed once again.

"Calm down kichi! Forget i said anything, anyway can you uhhh help me with my posters and stuff? Oh right! Before you do that" shuichi reached into the cases sitting open on the floor and picked up a white and black box "here!" Shuichi extended the box and out took it "w-why? This is yours s-so why?" Kokichi stuttered looking at the monokuma shaped fairy lights in his hands "because you're my beloved! Take it i have another box so don't worry, now we are matching!" Shuichi giggled kokichi stared at the lights for a second and instantly hugged shuichi softly "T-Thanks shu-chan!"

1:30 am

\\kokichi's room\\

3rd person POV

Kokichi was awake in his room. Sleep didnt come easy anyway so they layed in bed and stared at the fairy lights shuichi gave him. They had three settings; rainbow slow changing, black and white, white and pink. Kokichi had them on white and pink making their room glow blush pink. It was calming on some sense but for the last 2 weeks he hadn't been able to sleep as well as he did with...well; shuichi, so they had two options: stay up untill 3 am as he usually did or what he was about to do, now standing outside shuichi's new room door and lightly knocking on it.

Kokichi stood there slightly anxious about the 'monsters in the shadows' waiting to pounce oooooorrr more realisticly the empty darkness. Untill the door nob turned reaviling a messy raven blue haired teen with an oversized monokuma shirt over top of what seemed to be no pants. Kokichi undeniably blushed. "*yawn* kichi? What are you doing awake?" Shuichi lazily spoke rubbing his eyes lightly on his cast and clinging onto the door for support "h-hey..uh shu-chan i uh um" kokichi looked away from the taller male still blushing and stubbling over words "your so cute kichi! * yawn* You can't sleep right?" Shuichi spoke softly "r-right i uh well i havent been able to sleep since like 2 weeks ago when you were over at my house and I uh this is dumb but i uh i cant umm i aaa" kokichi nervously rambled "come in you dork" shuichi giggled.

Kokichi smiled widely and ran to shuichi's bed sitting and bouncing up and down happily like a little kid, shuichi chuckled and limped over with his crutch in hand "shu-chan how come you were able to sleep? You've told me you sleep very late" kokichi continued bouncing as shuichi sat next to them "well thats the reason u guess, i havent been able to sleep in month so when i had a c;dan safe environmental sleep in for once i passed out minutes after laying down" he chuckled, kokichi smiled a little before looking back down at his hands "i know you're hurt but i uh" kokichi was cut off by shuichi gently tackling the small boy and cuddling them under the half black half white sheets "its ok!Ive been through a lot of broken bones ill be fine!"

Th ough the sentence kind of saddened kokichi he couldn't help but smile. He was in Shuichi's embrace. Safe and happy.
