A Drawing of Me and You (An OuMota Fanfic)

Chapter 8: Friend of the Stars

[Kaito's POV]

I finally knew what to do, I had words in mind. But maybe words were just much too simple. After all, they say that actions have a lot more meaning than words. Maybe he just takes that to heart. He has the reasons for why he's the way he is and I'll respect that!
I slowly approached Kokichi again, kneeling down next to the purple haired liar on the cold ground. Jeez, it was so cold that it was as if the ground was shaking itself! How could he even stand this?! 

But as I slowly wrapped my arms around Kokichi, I had him as my warmth. It felt nice, like I could just fall asleep right then and there.
No, wait. I have a goal to achieve this wasn't time for any daydreaming! Never mind. That sentence didn't sound right. Either way, I had to make sure he was happy as well! Kokichi sort of flinched slightly within it, his eyes darting to me. "Kaito, why are you hugging me? Didn't I tell you to leave me alone?" The supreme leader's expression seemed angry, but his voice has more curiosity behind that unbreakable personality.

"Aren't friends supposed to be there for each other?" I asked, still holding onto him. Though, the response I got was a bit of silence until he answered. "Aren't friends supposed to respect each other's wishes, astro-not?" His voice had gotten more quiet, lost it's perky attitude and happy exterior. Though he still tried to convince me to leave him alone, even though he didn't want it. 
"Yeah, but you just seemed like you really needed some comfort. I'm sorry about what happened, I shouldn't have done that and I apologize," I spoke calmly, trying to calm the other down from whatever state he may be in. 

"Pfft- you really think I'm hurt by that bullshit?!" His head finally turned to me instead of just his eyes, his voice back to normal. He must be trying to keep his composure, he's lying to me. He must be. "Yes, I do believe that you could be. But, that doesn't mean I'm accusing you of such. I care about you a lot, you know? I know, I know.. I've been saying it a lot but I'm trusting you with a lot here and I just want to make sure that I can help you in any way." I replied, my voice soft and trying to be soothing as I held him close. 

Kokichi went silent in response.  The silence was actually a bit sweet when it was there this time.  Just me and him.. 
I smiled softly. Should I really be thinking about another boy this way though? 

It sounds a bit wrong if I actually said that he felt really warm and nice in my arms.

"Why am I even listening to you? You could be lying to me to try and gain my trust for all I fucking know. Take advantage of me while we're alone and then desert me for your stupid ass 'sidekicks' again!" He shoved me away, trying to push me to the ground considering we were just sitting on the cold floor. 

But what does he mean by again? Had I done something wrong in the past that made him have this sort of anger built up? 
At least the best thing that's coming from this right now is the fact he's showing me his real emotions. And that is a huge step to me! 

"How about I make it up to you then? I promise I won't abandon you for Makiroll and Shuichi once we get the fuck out of this place. This is our promise only though. Got that? No telling anyone" I just hoped I didn't speak too harshly about it, so I just paused for a bit before adding something else onto it. 

"And, I'm going to say this again. You're my friend. But, not only are you my friend; you're also a friend of the stars, Kokichi." It was heartfelt. Meant it with every bit of me that he was my friend.

Though, the response I got was rather a giggle or a snort of laughter. "Friend of the stars? What kind of lame bs is that? Haha!" Kokichi kept laughing, playing it off as a joke. I mean, I didn't want it to become a joke.. Well, I'd just have to prove it wasn't one!

"It isn't lame! I fucking mean it! Maybe you just don't understand what it truly means to me yet. So, first things first, find out what that saying means to you. Look inside yourself for the answer." Talk about fucking philosophical, Kaito. Sigh. Maybe he just won't understand..

"Well, it means that you're a super space dork!" Kokichi exclaimed, a childish grin upon his face. I couldn't help but smile back in response with a tiny chuckle. 
"Pfft- other than that of course! We already know how much I love space!" I kept laughing until he suddenly laid his head on my chest.

I looked down at him with a confused grin, but his eyes were closed as he leaned onto me. "You know, talking in real terms now! That stupid shit you said about what that friend of the stars means to me.. I believe that it means-" The supreme leader opened his eyes, exposing lavender irises to the world again as he started staring back up at me. "- that you care about me. A bit more than you think you do, spacey" He stated, reaching his arm up and lightly tapping me on the nose with the most genuine grin I've seen from him ever. 

Why was that smile so damn cute though?

I shouldn't be thinking like this; it's just this whole trapped thing getting to me after these days probably. I felt my face flush slightly, unable to respond for a few minutes before breaking the calm silence between the two of us. 
"Uhm, d-do you feel better now Kokichi?" I stammered as I asked, the blush starting to fade away from my face.

"What do you mean? I've always been fine!" The liar exclaimed in response with a wide grin. Guess he's still up to those shenanigans of lying to me, even though he knows that I know.. What am I saying? Whatever fuck those twisters. Still, he just wants to protect his emotions and I need to try and get him to trust me. 
"Kokichi, stop trying to lie to me.. Though, I'm glad to at least see you're feeling better than before" I smiled softly, ruffling his hair. 

The supreme leader blinked at me, looking back up and shaking his head before changing the conversation. 
"Heyyy!! We still have to get rid of that ugly ass spiky hair you have! Nishishi.. You totally forgot you still had to do the dare!" Why was that the conversation that came up now?!
