"What are you saying?!I wasnt thinking that!"

Shuichi defends.
Kokichi shrugs,a bored look in his eyes.

"Im sorry I guess."

Kokichi apologizes,not sounding apologetic.

"I cant handle you..."

Shuichi sighs,angrily.
Kokichi walks towards Shuichi abit again.

"Are you mad?"

Kokichi asks.
Shuichi shakes his head.

"No.Im fine."

Shuichi crosses his arms.

"You seem mad."

Kokichi nags.

"You cant even tell.You dont know emotions,remember?"

Shuichi glares.
Kokichi stares for a second.

"Oh.Sorry if I upset you."

Kokichi apologizes.

"You know what?You can relax out here by yourself.Im going back."

Shuichi backs Kokichi and begins to walk away.
Without thinking about it,Kokichi begins to follow him back.
Shuichi gets annoyed real quick.
He turns suddenly to face Kokichi.

"Why are you following me?!"

Shuichi asks.
Kokichi slightly flinches due to the sudden question.

"I....I just..."

Kokichi mumbles,twiddling his thumbs.
Shuichi just got even more annoyed.
Shuichi puts his hands on Kokichi's shoulders and pushes him back abit.

"Go 'relax' over there.Stop following me!"

Shuichi scolds.
Kokichi doesnt reply.
Shuichi sighs,turns around and begins to walk away again,this time,Kokichi didnt follow him.

After afew feet,Shuichi glances behind him to make sure Kokichi wasnt following him.
He notices Kokichi was still standing where he left him.

He looked...panicked,confused and lonely,it was faint but Shuichi could tell.
His hands were slightly trembling.

Shuichi instantly fely guilty.
But....Kokichi was good at faking emotions...right?

"D-Dont look at me like that..."

Shuichi mutters,his cheeks abit flushed.
Kokichi begins to walk towards Shuichi.

"Tantei-Chan...."

Kokichi mumbles.
Shuichi faces back foward,not moving a muscle.

What the hell is wrong with me?I should really be getting back to the dininghall--

Shuichi's thoughts were interupted by someone grabbing hold of his sleeve.
Surprised,he looks behind and sees Kokichi there,his head down.

"Ouma-Kun?"

Shuichi mutters.
Kokichi stays silent for a second.

"Tantei...."

Kokichi mumbles.

"I'll stop annoying you....I-I'll even stop talking....I'll pay attention to how youre feeling.....just.....just dont...."

Kokichi looks up to Shuichi,tears in his eyes and his eyebrows are slightly furrowed.

"Just dont l-leave me...."

Kokichi sniffles.
Shuichi feels a pit of guilt build up in his stomach.
He was surprised Kokichi was crying.
