massive house

Rantaro stared at the ground as he walked home with his friends alongside him. It was a few days later and all of their parents let them go to the sleepover. Each step towards his house made rantaro more and more anxious. "Sooo do you have any siblings ranchi?" Kokichi asked, suddenly getting closer than necessary and poking him in the arm "yeah a few" "How many? Two?" Kiibo asked "three?" Shuichi suggested "six?!" Kokichi finished. Rantaro paused for a brief second, contemplating on whether he should tell them or not before deciding that it didn't really matter "...twelve" Nothing was said for a moment before a voice cut through the silence like a knife "Jesus Christ! Your parents fuck like rabbits!" Kokichi yelled, earning him a slap to the back of the head issued by kaito "Don't talk about someone's parents like that!" "Why should I listen to you? You don't even have parents" "YOU LITTLE-"

It took about thirty minutes to calm both boys down after that.

"....can SOMEONE say ANYTHING! It's so boring!" Kokichi groaned out after a few more moments of walking "well....i could-" "Not you kiibo i said someONE not someTHING" Kiibo paused, thinking over the insult before he realized what kokichi ment "th-thats so robophobic!....i don't know why you even...." Kiibo sighed before shaking his head in an attempt to clear his mind. Unsurprisingly It didn't shuichi long to fall on the floor, it was inevitable considering the way accidents were drawn to him like a magnet, but the strange part was that he didn't bounce back like he usually did.

"Shuichi? You okay" Rantaro asked to no response. Kiibo feared the worst as usual "oh my god....i-is he dead!" The robot boy yelled but worry was instantly taken away when he heard light adorable snoring coming from the boy on the ground. 'Ah this must be when shuichi takes his nap...i should've expected something like this to happen' rantaro thought to himself as he picked the boy up and carried him on his back. Kokichi crossed his arms and acted aloof about the whole situation but when the boy was asked about his strange behavior he just responded with a "it's fine it's not like I care or anything"

So obviously he cared a lot

But there was no way he would ever tell rantaro this

And finally they reached their final stop, rantaro's house. It was three stories (not counting the attic or basement) with dozens of marble stairs leading to the patio and the giant dark brown door that looked more like a chocolate bar than a door to rantaro....or....maybe he was just hungry. He was met with a range of responses from amazement to slightly jealousy "wow who knew ranchi was loaded! I thought you were poor as dirt!" Rantaro sighed, unamused, before leading them up the stairs and opening the door.

A royal purple rug stretched on for what seemed like the entire house barely covering the dark brown, slightly dirty, floor. Yet another staircase in the far back of the room lead up to the second floor. "Alright you're just showing off at this point" Mumbled kaito. Rantaro set shuichi down on the floor and shook him awake then lead the others upstairs to his massive room where they were greeted by a little girl jumping on his bed "Monaca, you're still grounded go back to your room!" Rantaro commanded, much like commanding a dog. The girl sighed and said "big brother is always so mean to Monaca" To get sympathy from the guests before flopping down on the bed, the pastel blue covers flying up around her, before standing up and walking back to her room

"what'd she do?" Kaito asked as they set their bags down and shuichi finally caught up with the others "oh well she was just building a killer robot bear that she was going to send to our school, typical little kid things" The boy said with a shrug as he sat on his bed "she does it every week....at this rate she'll be out by the time she's like 50" Kokichi looked around the massive, almost tauntingly neat room before shaking his head "where are your parents? There's no way you live alone with twelve sisters" Rantaro paused

Little did they know he wasn't being entirely truthful about a few things he said "about that...." He said nervously "my mom is out on a business trip and my dad.....moved to the cemetery a few years back so we're going to be basically alone for the night" Kiibo cocked his head to the side in confusion "Didn't you say you have twelve sisters? No responsible mom would live thirteen children alone to fend for themselves!" Rantaro nodded "yes but I've only found three of my sisters so far....monaca, akasuki and suzuko" "Meh it's fine....I'll take any chance I get to not go home for a day" Kokichi said with a shrug "same here" Shuichi added

"Hey rantaro could we...maybe" Kiibo began but rantaro already knew what he was going to say "go wild guys" On that command they disbursed all running into different parts of the absurdity large house....except for shuichi "why didn't you go explore with the others?" "I'm not really the exploring type" Rantaro sighed realizing that they didn't have that in common "shame....i love exploring" "Dont m-misunderstand me I-ill go exploring if it's with you!"

Rantaro didn't know what he meant by that
