Alive, Again?

Is this a Crush? Yeah.

Kaede's POV

" O-Oh, did I say that? I meant it in a...friendly way? Y'know? L-Like how you wanna s-support all of your friends! " I stutter out, looking anywhere but Shuichi. Why am I even acting like this? Way do I get so nervous when I talk about Miu? I mean I don't stutter that much when I am actually around her, so why now? Ugh, this is so confusing! 

" So you included the word 'realizing' Kaede. Would you like to explain to me how you realize a 'friend' is cute? And why cute, you could've said she is nice or pretty, so why'd you choose cute? " The more he spoke the redder I got, this started to feel like i'm getting interrogated or something! I need to turn this around so I can calm down. 

" Well how about you and Kokichi? I see you blushing when you're around him! " I countered his interrogation, making him turn red himself. He just stuttered and after a few failed attempts of trying to explain himself he just hid under his hat. Making me giggle.

" So...That explains a lot. " Says Shuchi appearing from behind his hat. What was that sappost to mean? It's not like I gave any hint in the game about what I think about her...Right?

" Explains what? " I asked, confusion clear in my voice. Was there something else that would make sense from the little chat about crushes?  C'mon Shuichi you're confusing me here!

" Oh, nothing. Just remembered something about, uhh...A case? Yes, a case I'm working on. " He said, he seemed to be in deep thought once again. He really does get stuck in his head, can't say I'm any better but he really shows it. 

" Oh, Really? Cause it sounds like your questioning yourself. " I said, He started to panic and look around the room like it was going to help him.

" I-I promise, it's nothing you should concern y-yourself with! " He was now flailing his hands around in front of him. Was it really something that big? Alright, i'll let it go then.

" Alright, anyways, What's the reason you came to my room? " I asked, looking towards the clock. It read 1:24pm, wow, did I really cry for like a hour? It seemed like 15 minutes. 

" I was going to ask if you wanted to go do something...That I can't seem to remember at the moment. " He said to his dismay, maybe he wanted us to hang out with the others or something. All I know is I am so exhausted from crying to get back up and walk around.

" Maybe we can just stay here and watch a movie or something. I'm pretty tuckered out from crying. " I say turning towards the side table next to my bed for the remote to my tv. As I turn back I press the 'on' button.

" Sounds good, I'll have to go grab some blankets though. " He said as he got off the bed and started heading towards the door. I just flip through channels, maybe I can find something good...Maybe a horror movie? Or action? I forget, did Shuchi have a favorite genre? I sit racking my brain for what type of movie we should watch as I hear Shuichi open the door.

" Hey, Shuchi. What genre do you wanna watch? " I asked, turning towards him as he sat back down on the bed. He just shrugged as he pulled a blanket or two over himself. Handing me one as I, once again, flip through the channels. I cover myself with the blanket, maybe I'll turn on the first movie that pops up. 

" Have you seen The Nun? " I asked as it popped up on the screen. It was right at the beginning so if we decided to watch it, it would've been perfect timing. 
                                                      
" No, I don't think I have. " Shuchi replied as he shifted to get comfortable. I put down the remote as I too shifted to get comfortable. As it played I felt shivers run down my spine, It was either because that is a creepy ass graveyard or because I'm cold. Either way at the first small jump scare me and Shuchi clung to each other.

As the movie went on I got more comfortable and laid my head on Shuichi's shoulder. Closing my eyes I decided to think about our talk and not the screaming coming from the tv. I said talk about crushes earlier...Does that mean I have a crush? On Miu? I mean it's not completely surprising but...Would she even like me back? She did have her eyes on Kiibo, obviously. But that was mostly because he was  robot, then again she could of liked him more then his robotic build. Man, I almost forgot how confusing a crush is. Wait...What do I mean almost forgot? Did I have a crush before that I forgot about? Weird. I would've surely remembered something like that. I started to drift off to sleep with my thoughts, the vague vision of a dream coming into view. 

I smiled as I watched the dream play in my sleep...

It was about Miu...

Miu.
