Stuck In Another Reality? Darn.

Special!

Here's a special I posted on Quotev because I received 25 hearts!

Day Free Time event:

Chapter 1 location- In the Library with Rantaro and Kokichi.

Select [Name]?

[*Yes] [No]

"Kaede, thank gosh you're here! Please, help me keep an eye on the child here! Avocado refuses to do it!" Rantaro watched with pure amusement in his eyes as he did nothing to help with the thrashing Kokichi in [Name's] arms while I sweatdropped.

Spend time with [Name]?

[*...Yes?] [No]

I spent some time helping [Name] calm Kokichi down and 'child-proof' his room...

Me and [Name] grew closer, I think?

Would you like to give [Name] a present?

[*Fine.] [Not really...]

*Various Album Covers
-A random assortment of well-known songs. Invalid, however, without a music player.

"Woah, that's really cool find Kaede!" He gained stars in his eyes as he observed what I was holding. Despite me being unhappy about having to tame the wild gremlin, I smiled and handed it to him.

"Oh wow, you mean this is meant for me? That's actually...nice of you. Thanks." His face quickly morphed into one of surprise and geniune delight as he smiled at me.

"Geez, now I feel bad for making you help with Kokichi! How about this? We can brew some tea and sit down somewhere outside! Rantaro says it's a good way to get to know someone."

And here I am, sitting next to [Name], drinking tea.

"What's up, Kaede? You have quite a peculiar look on your face right now." That's an embarrassing way to start a conversation; I can't believe he's so perceptive. I sweatdropped.

"What is exactly your relations to Rantaro and Kokichi? I'm just curious."

"Ah! We're all best friends. We've known each other for a long time, been through thick and thin, all of that friendship." Ah, that does make sense, seeing how they both act around him. Seems like he's the glue that sticks them together.

"Do you think Rantaro is bothered by the lack of his Talent?" I blurted out.

[Name] sighed and dropped the happy tone, dragging his fingers through his hair. "I'm afraid I can't tell you much, but...yes. He is, but you really shouldn't bother him about it. He's happy with me and Kokichi being there for him and he's not one to let it drag him down. He's going to be okay."

I blinked, surprised at how protective [Name] seemed in that moment. "You must really care for them."

"They're my best friends Kaede. I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for them. I love them with all of my heart. I know that you're doing your best to make us all friends, but even if the rest of the class failed to be my friend- I wouldn't care as long as I still have them with me. That's how much I care for them."

[Name] was acting so incredibly honest that it astounded me. I struggled to think of words to say before he chuckled.

"Sorry for rambling, it's a thing of mine. Can't help it. Do you do that sometimes?"

[*Yes] [No]

"Definitely, especially when it comes to piano pieces. The thought composers put into their work is just so incredible! It's so cool to put complicated emotions into something that seems so simple!" I enthusiastically replied.
