A Drawing of Me and You (An OuMota Fanfic)

Chapter 14 - Catch Me!

[Kokichi's POV]

I ran out as fast as I could, making it down the hallway at a swift pace.
Momota-Chan really feels that way about me? It was like I had finally got what I wanted! Someone who likes me even through all of the lies and bullshit I put them through!

But, I don't think I deserve it.

I just don't deserve his praise and care for me. That's why I'm running. Running away from everything again like I always do. Scared. Afraid.

Even if it's felt like my heart's been soaring; that it feels so shiny and sparkly around him like a night sky. I can't accept this happy ending.
I like to see him smile. Genuinely smiling in fact. It's one of the best ones I've seen before. One that tells you it's okay and that finally, just finally.
He's okay too.

He seems to keep it all to himself, doesn't he? Ah, that dummy. Space nerd got me falling in love with the brightest star I've gotten accompanied to seeing everyday. I was looking forward to seeing him, like the day wouldn't pass without me seeing Kaito greeting me once again. All of it slowly turning to night.

It all shimmered.
And I smiled.

The night sky belongs to him and me.

But - I know we'll meet again some sunny day once we get away. I'd grin once again and be able to feel it all over again. When he held me close, I thought it would never end. I'd be happy if it hadn't. All of the tears and frustration, for it all to end in sunshine and smiles.

Oh what a wish, a wish that only came partly to fruition.

I stopped upon the third floor for a few seconds, deciding to take a quick glance around it while Kaito was probably catching up. After all, if he kept my word to his heart, he'd find me here again. He usually keeps his word anyways. He's quite proved it to me

Maybe it can all restart on a lighter note, and I can steal his stupid jacket once again and giggle.
This time, he'd laugh along with it. He'd merely chuckle, call me a dork or something like that and look at me straight into my soul, trying to find my intentions. And then, he'd take his jacket back as if to end the moment.

Snapping out of my slight daydream, I gazed around to see just a few rooms. Most seemed to be operating rooms where they do surgery on a patient. All disgruntled and messy. Misused and abandoned.
I looked away from what I could see quickly in disgust. I never liked those types of rooms.
Hell, I hate this whole place. I can't wait until we get out! It'll all be over and we can truly act like it was nothing!

I'd be able to keep these emotions to myself as good as he can! Maybe he can move on too. I'm very sure there's other choices besides me.
...
Nevermind. I don't really want him to leave. He promised me he wouldn't abandon me after all! He promised; he always keeps his promises.
I have.. So so much faith. Too much of it actually.

A friend of the stars.

I think I've finally found my answer to what it means.
What it means to be friends with the night sky! It means all of the shimmering happiness wished upon someone. That someone will never leave your side no matter how stubborn or how much of an asshole you are. A feeling of happiness that never truly leaves; it just comes out at certain times like a friend that's been there from the start.

That's Kaito.

The person who gives me that feeling of happiness that just won't go away whenever he's around, is Kaito. The answer all along.
I heard a sound and clutched onto the checkered scarf I wore with a gentle grasp for a few moments before letting it go. Maybe it was just a sudden reflex, but I probably need to get going before he finds me. I have no clue where he could be, but each step is crucial to the game after all! I wouldn't want to get caught so easily!
