Oumeno Week 2021 💜❤️🍇🍒

🖤Is it wrong🖤

***Himiko's POV***

    Is it wrong to be in love with your best friend? Even if they are in love with someone else? For ten years Kokichi Ouma has been my best friend, and for ten years I've been in love with him. I never told anyone but my older sister (Mahiru) about my little crush, which she was confused about. She said that she could see us together but not. Better than nothing, especially when it's from someone who really doesn't like men all that much.

How do I know he's in love with someone else? Well he told me. Of course you should tell your best friend that you're in love, you should tell your best friend everything, but that one just really hurts. How do I know he's in love with someone else? Once again he told me, now that one really hurt.

***Flashback***

"Hey Himi? What would you do if I told you that I'm in love?" I stopped. He is in love? With who? Ah uh say something! "You're in love? With who? And why? Tell me everything" I said. "Well uh, they are kinda stupid, but also a lot more smarter then they gives herself credit for. And their really pretty and there for me despised how many insults I throw at them." He said. "W-well can you tell me who it is?" I asked. "W-well um, its" Kokichi stuttered. "This is kinda embarrassing, I-I like Kaede" My heart shattered. K-Kaede? Why her? UGH! All my hard work to make him love is for nothing. "You okay Himi? You look upset," "Neyh? Oh yeah I'm so happy for you, I'm sure you two will live many, many, happy years together." I know that I may sound like I got it all together but inside I'm screaming in tortrue. Kokichi smiled "Thanks Himi, I knew I could tell you anything" and with that he ran off.

Have I lost? All that for nothing? No, no I won't give up. I'm sorry Kaede, you are one of my bestest friends, but I am  not giving up on Kokichi.

***End of flashback***

And that's how I ended up here. Right now I'm waiting for Kokichi to walk through the school doors, which he is taking his sweet sweet time like always, classic Kokichi. I'll run up to him, say hi, compliment him, and give him a present. Yeah I know it's not much, yet. I know how much he loves attention so that's what I plan to give until he realizes how much he means to me and accepts my feelings.

I saw Kokichi walk through the door and I started running up to him. "Hey Kichi, how ya doing," I said. "Oh hey Himi, sorry I'm late, just kidding I'm not sorry," he said. "Oh it's okay, I'm sure you have a good reason". He started laughing, "not really, I just wanted to annoy you." That little, hold it together Himiko, I have to be nice like Kaede. "You okay? You always get upset when I'm late," Kokichi asked. "Neyh? What are you talking about? I'm just in a good mood today. Can I just say your hair looks amazing today, what did you do to it?" I said. If you ask me I'm doing great. "I uh, brushed it," he said, a little confused.

"Oh yeah I almost forgot, this is for you" I gave him a small purple box with a black ribbon on top. He looked at it in surprise, he took it and opened it. He took out a silver jeweled pin with a chain. "Oh thank you," with a smile, he put it on his checkered scarf. "How do I look?" He asked. "Handsome, now come on, we have to go to class, I don't want to get swept." "Awwww, but I don't want to go"

***Later***

Once we walked into the classroom I saw Kaede. She was unpacking her stuff when she noticed we had walked in. "Oh hey Kokichi, Himiko. Do you want to sit with me?" she said. I panicked. "Acully me and Kichi planned on sitting in the back," I said. "We did?" "Yes, sorry Kaede, maybe next time." And then I took Kokichi's hand and dragged him to the other side of the room.

I'm not trying to be rude, Kaede is my friend but I need Kokichi to like me. We took our seats and started unpacking our stuff. "It's okay, I'll just come back here with you two, if that's okay with you?" Kaede said while carrying all her stuff over here. I didn't know what to say. "Sure, I don't have a problem with it," Kokichi said. Kaede smiled and sat down right between us. Why does this always happen to me??? I am suffering. She started talking to my little Kokichi. I feel so angry but I can't do anything about it. I can't be mean to Kokichi's crush aka my friend. It's okay Himiko, you still got this, you still got lunch.

***Later at Lunch***

Me and Kokichi were on the roof of the school. We were sitting on one of the benches. "Here you go Kichi, I made cookies for you last night." I handed him a small bag of chocolate cookies. "Oh thank you," he took the bag and took out a cookie.

We sat there talking to each other for a while, but then all the sudden he took a cookie and put it up to my face. "You want one Himi?" he asked. I smiled. I took a bite while he was still holding it. I knew what he was doing and I didnt mind. "Yknow Himi, you've been acting weird, you're acting extra nice to me, you even made cookies, you hate baking, are you sick or something?" Kokichi said. "I already told you silly, I'm just in a really good mood," I told him.

Am I really being too obvious? Can he tell that I'm trying to make him like me more? Nevermind, stick to the plan. "Okay if you say so," he said.

***Days later***

A couple days of this and I have gotten nowhere. Why can't he love me? Should I give up and admit my defeat? Maybe I should, I mean I'm no closer than when I started.

I was laying on my bed with Kokichi playing video games on my T.V. "Hey Kichi, how much do you love Kaede?" I spoke up. That question caught Kokichi off guard and lost his game. "W-well uh, why do you ask?" He said. "Well I been needing to tell you something," I sat up and faced him. He turned around and sat closer to me. "What is it?" Kichi asked.

I sighed, "listen, I like you. I know you like Kaede and I tried so hard to make you like me more by giving you attention  but I've gotten nowhere. I now understand that you only see me as a friend and nothing else. So if you want to ask Kaede out do it now, before I change my mind". Kokichi just stood there in complete silence. "Y-you like me?" He asked. "YES! Now go on and ask her out!" I screamed. I couldn't take it anymore, he better ask her now before I smash everything in this room. "Himiko, it was never Kaede, it was always you". Huh, what did he say?

"What do you mean it was always me? I'm confused" I said. "I never liked Kaede, I always had a huge crush on you since the day I meant you," he said. I was so confused. "But last week, you said that you liked Kaede". He laughed, "I was going to say I liked you but I chickened out last second, I didn't mean to scare you like that". I smiled. I'm so glad that he feels the same way. I was so scared that he wouldn't want to see me again.

"So does this mean we are official?" I asked. "I uh, I-I think". He started holding my hand. "Is it normal for this to still feel scary?" Kokichi asked. "I don't know". And that's how it all started. How will it end?
