Fear is a liar (Kokichi x reader)

Chapter 8

Y/N POV:

Sometimes I wish I had a different talent. When I got my talent passed down to me, there was something I learn that has always stuck with me. Everyone has something important to them.

Everyone has something that they love that they don't necessarily need. This subject can vary between things from people to topics. Everyone has something important to them.

My grandfather for example valued drugs. My dad valued money and power. My sister valued her identity and love life.

But how does this related to your talent, you might ask. Well these are all the things that these people love and adore, so what if I take them away?

Of course no one would want the things that are important to them taken away so they'll get defensive if you try to hurt it.

That's when I realized if you have desire, you have fear. A fear of losing what you desire. So that's what I did.

I used people's desires against them as child's play and even made up desires they never had. It's simple and easy. But then it got me thinking, what do I fear?

Fear is seen as weakness, something to be used against you. I just found out if you have desire, you have fear. So no desire, no fear. I feared nothing and in return I got nothing.

Nothing... I had nothing. Sometimes I wondered what it would be like if I didn't have power... if I didn't have my talent because now I have nothing to live for. Because once you have the desire to live, you start to have fear in the consequences of death.

I caught myself spacing out once more as I stared blankly into the courtyard. I didn't get much sleep last night.... or morning, whichever came first.

I just repeatedly kept on passing out and waking up. Just as I was beginning to pass out again, I heard voices coming my way.

"Are you ok?" "Yeah... it's just the sound of those bugs buzzing is still in my head." Drained of energy, I looked up and tried concentrating my vision to see Tsumugi and Shuichi talking in the courtyard walking my way.

Bugs... oh Kokichi's plan. Looks like he gave Tsumugi hell. I wonder what they're doing here, especially after getting kidnapped and placed in a room full of bugs. I watched as they walked closer to the building as their conversation was more audible.

"Gonta would be sad to hear it but... I like bugs even less now." From what I saw last night, I don't think you should be saying that Tsumugi.

I stared at both as both noticed me, and had different reactions. Shuichi noticed me out of the corner of his eye and immediately looked back at Tsumugi. Tsumugi looked at me as she tried pretending not to see me while continuing to talk to Shuichi.

"I'm glad there aren't any bugs outside of Gonta's lab or wait... are there?", Tsumugi spoke as she looked off to the side.

Why the hell is she acting so weird... If you have something on your mind just say it. We aren't in some drama. Chill.

"Well Gonta did say that he thought he saw a tiny bug once...", Shuichi added on as Tsumugi gleamed at him.

"Oh yeah, he did say that!" Bruh, your expression early said you knew that. You did not need Shuichi to point that out... or did she?

"But even with Gonta's 20/0.625 vision, he could barely see it, right? So isn't it possible he was just plain mistaken?"

How do you mistake something with that vision?! Tsumugi's the mastermind, I have to assume the worst possible situation.
