pining

A faint groan left your mouth as you began stir.

As soon as you opened your eyes they were met with a beam of light. A quiet hiss of discomfort left you as you went to shield your tired eyes. While trying to shield your eyes, you felt your arm brush against something soft. You wearily gazed down as a soft smile crossed your face, he was still there.

Even with you being wide awake, Kokichi was soundly sleeping comfortably in your arms. You let your arm gently fall back down onto the bed as you closed your eyes. It was four am, maybe you could rest a while longer.

After minutes of silently laying, you opened your eyes and began to look around. Usually restlessness wasn't a problem for you, especially in your own home, but today seemed to differ. The longer you laid down, the more aware you were of Kokichi's presence. While it didn't completely bother you, it wasn't quite familiar either... Why didn't it bother you?

You were never one for close contact. Hugs and things of that nature usually weren't your cup of tea, but here you were, practically cradling a classmate.

Classmate?

That wasn't right. At this point, Kokichi was way past just a classmate. Classmate was too formal, you refused to let boyfriend cross your mind, and friend... Friend felt too misplaced. Normal friends don't hold each other as close. Normal friends don't sleep in each other's arms. Normal friends don't do what you two do, they have more boundaries.

Right?

As much as you hate to admit, you had no experience with how close friends could, or should, become. You'd move so often that having real friends seemed pointless to you, not to mention the hurt the constant separation would cause. Even now with your permanent home you had trouble making new, genuine, friends.

Tsumugi was the only person you considered a real friend. She was nice to you as soon as you walked into the school. Even before you put on your persona. Kaede and the others though, they befriended your persona, not you. But what made Kokichi any different?

Perhaps its because Tsumugi closed the gap between you two, or maybe its because you kept him around longer than you intended.

Even then, Kokichi seemed more than just a close friend to you.

A small frown crossed your face as you rubbed your eyes as groaned. You felt more awake and aware than ever before. Getting into your own head never bothered you like this before. Before you could continue your thoughts, you stilled. You felt Kokichi begin to stir.

You heard a mute whine come from him as he stretched. At first you thought he was going to wake up calmly. You were quickly proven wrong by him shooting up from off the bed, almost falling when the blanket got caught around his leg. You sat up and rested your head on your hand, you new exactly what was coming next.

"I-... sorry"

As you expected.

"You didn't do anything that warrants an apology. You don't have to keep apologizing to me for nothing"

You made your way off your bed as you awaited his response. You were met with silence. After a moment of quiet he finally spoke up.

"I... I should go home"

A look of confusion was visible on your face as you began to speak.

"This early? We just woke up a few minutes ago."

A sigh left him as he looked away from your gaze. He continued.

"I...I need to get home before my parents notice im gone"
