Even when looking directly at the screen, the gore filled show fails to distract you. What happened in the kitchen disoriented you, and your ultimate wasn't helping.
Because of your ultimate you were use to overanalyzing even the smallest things, even if you didn't exactly want to. Usually it wouldn't be a problem, at worse you'd just learn an unwanted fact about someone. But this time it was different.
While you could ultimately discern platonic from romantic feelings, it wasn't the easiest thing for you to do. Because you and your parents moved so often, you never bothered having any real connections. You kept almost every one, besides your parents, at arms length.
The only true examples of platonic love you had was your parents, the only examples of romantic love you knew was mostly fiction. Because of your lack of experience, the line could get blurry. Which is why you're stressing over this so much.
If Kokichi said what he said in a platonic way, everything was fine and dandy. If Kokichi said what he said in a romantic way, it could become a serious problem. You weren't above flirting to get what you needed, and as much as you hated to admit it, you've had to pull that card more than once.
But if Kokichi liked you, you have to stop doing it. Your ultimate might be "bad" but you weren't completely insensitive, tampering with emotions was too scummy for you to do. Even if push came to shove, you could just let him down slowly.
Though you didn't want to resort to that yet, there's a chance could mess up your... friendship?... with Kokichi. Thats the only reason why, no other reason.
A quiet but heavy sigh left your mouth as you continue to mull over what happened. Subconsciously while thinking, you glanced at Kokichi and Shuichi. You didn't realize how close they were to you until now.
Shuichi was leaning against you, smiling wide while watching the tv. Kokichi on the other hand didn't look like he was doing so good. A small frown was visible on his face, he kept his eyes trained on the floor or tv, not taking a chance to make eye contact with you or Shuichi. He almost looked nervous. A sigh left your lips as you decided.
You were nipping this in the bud before it got inconvenient.
You grabbed Kokichi's hand and stood up.
"You mind if we get some drinks?"
You felt Kokichi tense up. Thankfully Shuichi responded before, Kokichi could speak any protests.
"Sure, just hurry up or you'll miss the best part of the season!"
A quick smile and thanks is all you did before making your way to the kitchen. Once you entered the kitchen you immediately turned to Kokichi. At first, it was hard to find the right words. Thankfully Kokichi started for you.
"Why did you bring me to the kitchen"
His tone seemingly surprised both of you, it sounded more assertive than you were use to hearing coming out of his mouth, but you didn't let it deter you.
"I wanted to talk to you about what you said in the kitchen"
You expected him to respond, but once you were met with silence you continued.
"I mean... What was that? The things you said, they kinda confused me"
A moment of silence passed over. You couldn't help but discreetly shift uncomfortably, you weren't use to telling others how you felt. Especially when it came to confusion. Thankfully he responded before you could wallow in your discomfort.
"It was..."
You could hear him hesitating.
"Nothing...It was nothing"
.
.
.
"Nothing?"
The disbelief was audible in your voice.
"That's not just-"
You bit your tongue. Here wasn't the best place to do this. Your voice was quieter once you spoke again.
"We'll talk about this later"
You randomly grabbed three drinks out of the fridge and began to walk back to the living room, Kokichi trailing slowly behind you.
Once you made it back to the couch an awkward silence settled over you and Kokichi, to the point were Shuichi noticed.
As soon as the episode you were watching ended, you turned on your phone to check the time. 9:45. You stood up and brushed yourself off, you needed a break.
"Its about time for me to go home"
Shuichi and Kokichi looked slightly shocked at what you said. You quickly gave a reason before they could protest.
"I wanna get home before it gets too dark"
Shuichi seemed to accept your answer, Kokichi didn't.
"I can walk you back-"
"Nah, its fine"
You flashed a half-smile as you thank Shuichi for his hospitality. You said your goodbyes as you made your way out the door, not bothering to look back.
The walk back to your house felt exhausting.
The second you walked in your house, you yelled out of frustration. Not only were you mad at Kokichi, you were mad at yourself for handling it how you did. Soon enough your internal anger turned into external ranting
"Nothing? Just nothing? No explanation, no 'can we talk about it later' just NOTHING. I totally didn't ask because I care about you?!. I just wanted you to say NOTHING..."
You buried your face in your pillows as you regret everything you did.
¤you wish you wore a different hoodie today¤
