Promise Me Shuichi (Angst)

Saihara and Ouma were the happiest couple in school. Their friends and classmates raved about how cute they were or how jealous they were of how perfect their relationship was. It was fairly new, having only started in spring but it was as if they were married.

Unfortunately an issue arose. Being ultimates, the two boys were famous. Or at least Saihara was given his parents status as well. Hopes Peak kept Kokichi as their little secret. His talent would be greatly affected if the public knew of him. Not such a secret organization if everyone in the world knew their leader.

However, this could only last for so long. When fangirls found Shuichi making out with a small purple haired boy they lost their minds. News about the Ultimate detective dating a man spread like wildfire. Everyone that could get their hands on the story reported it.

Homophobes across the globe questioned his talent and asked for it to be revoked. Others demanded to know who he was dating. Shuichi's parents and uncle made a public statement about how much they loved him and wished the hate to stop. But Shuichi and Kokichi knew they were told to do that. They knew his parents couldn't care less if he got kicked out of Hopes peak. While support was still prominent, the hate was so much for the couple to bear.

They tried to ignore it. They tried to get over it. But it was too much.

I walked up to Shuichi. My first and only love. The man I couldn't resist smothering with my affection. I saw him smile gently when he looked at me, but his smile soon faded. I felt the tears in my eyes. He saw them too.

I didn't want it to be like this. It has to be done. I can't look at him anymore without the guilt wallowing in my heart to come pouring out. I'm the reason he got outed. I'm the reason he may get kicked from Hopes Peak.

He reached a hand to my tear stained cheek, "What's wrong my love?" He asked me kindly. "Shuichi I-" I took a shaky breath and prepared myself for the worst. "I don't think we should be together anymore." I watched his eyes drain of their color. The beautiful shimmering golden twinkle they once had emptied as he looked at me with a melancholy expression.

"What? I-I thought everything was going so well?" I reached up to lift his hand off my face. "It is I just-" I felt more tears stream down my face. "I can't be the reason you get kicked from Hopes Peak."

He looked at me with the sweetest face and pulled me into a hug. "Kichi, it's not your fault. I love you more then my title, more then Hopes Peak. I'd drop everything all for you."

We'd been together for eight months by now. Six whole blissful months and two straight out of your worst nightmare. I love him so much. That's why I have to do this. That's why I have to... why I have to leave him. "You can't do that. You have so much ahead of you Shumai. But me? I have nothing but DICE."

I watched his golden eyes gloss over and sad crystal tears roll over his soft cheeks. "Please Kokichi. P-Please stay w-with me." He pulled my face back to his with both of his hands and kissed my forehead. "My life is nothing without you." He said softly, his voice breaking as he cried.

"Just come up with a lie like I taught you." I smiled at him. I miss him already. "Promise me this," He looked at me and bit his lip to hold back protest. "Never forget how proud I am of you Shuichi. Promise me you'll see the good in yourself okay? Promise me you'll live happy with your Uncle or whatever boy you find after me."

He took a deep breath and plastered a small smile just for me. "I promise I will, Kokichi." I gently pushed him away from me and wiped my face. I walked away without another word. As I closed the door I heard him hit the floor and burst into tears. I couldn't hold my own back anymore as I rested my head against the door. I want to comfort him. I want to hold him. I want to love him.

But I can't. This is the end.

I'll be checking in on that promise Shuichi Saihara. Live your life gleefully and regret free. Live the life I cannot lead. Just for me.

- Kokichi Ouma,
Your First Love
