"Ouma...Please.." - Saiouma

Chapter 12 - Nicknames

A/n: Hey!! It's my birthday! I finally get older once more again, and so I decided to treat you all on this special day for me with a new chapter! It's not much, but I hope you will appreciate it.

*Ouma's pov*

"I...I don't.."
"Sidekick! Kokichi! What're you two doing?!" Kaito's sudden scream scared the both of us.
"Kaito! Uh we were just.." Shuichi tried to explain to Kaito after what he had seen.
"Are you gay?" Kaito said having both of us shocked.
(NAH NAH IM JOKING HE DIDN'T SAY THAT LMAO)
"I still don't get it Shuichi, even if you explain to me I feel like you're just lying to me." Kaito seemed concerned. Well he actually was being smart for once, seeing through Shuichi's lies. But that isn't good for the both of us, if he'd know why we're out here then he'd freak out.
"Look Kaito, we were just talking about something personal and important." Shuichi lied again, only this time Kaito believed him.
"Alright sidekick, I trust you. But no funny business around here, especially with Kokichi. You can never trust him." Kaito says while staring at me. What a way to rub it in y'know? He said it right to my face too. How rude.

"Welp, bye sidekick!" Kaito said as he walked away.
"Maybe we should discuss it later..You probably have better things to do with Kaito." I said while holding his hand gently.

He didn't say anything, but he nodded.

We both walked back to our dorms in complete silence.
'I wonder what he wanted to talk to me about? Was it actually something personal? Or was it a plan to help kill someone?'
I kept wondering while we were walking to our dorm's, after we both got to the dorms we went our separate ways.
We waved goodbye to each other.

I was thinking all night about what he wanted to talk to me about, so I hardly got any sleep.

*$@!£@€@'s pov*

Oh heavens! I didn't even get the chance to tell him..guess I'll have no other choice but to kill him.
He ruined our perfect conversation, so I'll make him feel so much despair that he'll ever feel! Nothing with come between our love Kokichi!
I just need to think of a quick motive, and I'll start by having to kill the person he loves the most..Shuichi Saihara.
Hmmm! Who to kill off? So many good choices..! I wonder, I wonder! This is gonna be so much fun for me, and also seeing the despair on Kokichi's  face is so cute! I just wanna squeeze him until his brains burst out! (If yk yk)
He's always felt under pressure towards the others. But he's super comfortable around me so he won't obviously think that it'll be me who is the true mastermind and killer!
"Heya there kid, whatcha' fantasizing about now?" Monokuma had suddenly bust through the door.
"Oh nothing Monokuma! Just wondering on what kind of motive I should put up next, and how my beloved Kokichi will act!" I said with a passionate face, the same face I used on £0£!€&!.
"Don't get your underwear in a twist again, just hurry up and think of a motive to stir up some murders!" Monokuma said before leaving the mastermind room.
I honestly don't care what Monokuma says, after all I run this joint. I am just worried on my poor little Kokichi! I'll be taking care of him till the very end of this game! Soon Kokichi you will realize the true mastermind of this killing game!

*Ouma's pov*

Ugh...I had another strange vision just now..this time it was Saihara talking to Monokuma about some new motive. That can't be a real vision right? I mean, Saihara-Chan won't ever do that to me..right..? Yeah...there's no way he would, otherwise I'd suspect him beforehand.
Someone's knocking on the door.
"Come in!" I yelled.
"Hello? Kokichi?" A voice that is really familiar to me spoke up.
"Saihara-Chan! What're you doing here?" I asked in a worried tone.
"I just came here to check on you." He said while giving a warm smile.
"But may I ask, what's on your billboard?" I suddenly jolted and rushed to it, trying to hide all my friends pictures.
"O-oh! Er...nothing! Nothing..!" I said nervously.
"Well, since I'm already here..could I hang out with you? Just the two of us in this room." Shuichi said making me blush a little.
"Ha! As if!...well that's what I would've said..but I have a soft spot for you! So I guess you could come in!" I said pretty confident this time.
"Ah back to the old Kokichi I see?" Shuichi said while walking in my room.
"Well only you will be able to see this side of me!" I replied back.
He looks annoyed. Should I have said that? I probably shouldn't have..I'm so sorry Shuichi. I didn't mean to offend or upset you, I just knew I was changing back into my old and shy self again....so I just figured to let my other personality out.
"Kokichi? Are you okay? You don't seem to be very happy at the moment..should I just leave?" Shu suddenly broke me out of my thoughts.
"No no Shu! Everything's fine..! I was just deep and lost in my thoughts again.." I replied to his comment but not realizing the nickname I just gave him.
"What did you just call me?" Shu said while a bit of blush shown on his face.
I finally caught on to the nickname.
"E-e-eh?!?! I'm so sorry Shuichi!! I didn't mean to call you 'Shu'! Please forgive me! I'm sorry..!!" I apologized so quickly after knowing my mistake.
"No no! It's fine Kichi! Besides, I like the nickname!" I noticed the nickname he gave me in return.
"W-what did you just call me?!?" I started panicking and I got super flustered.
"O-oh! Do you not like the nickname? I'm sorry.." he apologized right after.
"Ah! No..it's alright. You can call me whatever you'd like! People have called me worse anyway.." I didn't realize the comment I made at the end.
"What kind of names do people call you, Kichi?" Shu said with a concerned look in his face.
"Oh..I'd rather not talk about it..." I replied while looking down.
"I see.." Shu might've felt like he ruined our conversation.
"Look, I can tell you think that you just ruined the conversation just now. But you didn't, it was just a simple question! Nothing really important to me! So you shouldn't get your hopes down on my response!" I felt confident and more of a therapist after that long paragraph.
"Heh..thanks Kichi.." he gave another one of his warm smiles.

Those smiles always make me so flustered!! Shu..! Stop doing that to my heart! It's too warm!

"Hey your face seems red, are you alright?" He seemed concerned and he began to touch my forehead.
"Oh-! Er..it's just the weather today! It's pretty hot outside haha!!" I said while pushing his hand away from my forehead.
"Well it does seem to be pretty hot today.." Shu replied.

I want to ask him about the thing he was going to tell me before Kaito had to ruin it..it's still on my mind.

"Hey Shu?" I suddenly broke the silence I wasn't aware of.
"Yes Kichi?" He replied.
"Um..about the thing you wanted to ask me before Kaito showed up..." His smile began to fade.
"Oh, that. I could tell you later! I'm just not..ready quite yet to discuss it.." he said.

No..I demand to know now!

"Please Shu..I won't get mad or anything! You can just tell me! I've been thinking all night of what you were gonna ask me!" I leaned in closer towards his face, a bit of blush showed.
"Uhm..well..." he said nervously.
"I just wanted to say..."
"That I..."
"..."
"I love..."
"Kaede." I suddenly burst out.
"Wh...What..?" He replied.
"I already know you like Kaede..you don't need to tell me twice..." I said while hiding each tear.
"What..? But I wasn't gonna..-" I interrupted him.
"It's alright though! You can like who you want! Okay well I've got something else to do at the moment so bye bye, Shu!" I yelled while pushing him out the door.
"W-wait!" I slammed the door shut.
I heard him sigh and walk away.

Damn it! I knew he likes Kaede! Everyone here says that they always look so cute together! Even if I tried to get closer to Shu everyone will be annoyed and they'd think that I'm trying to take Shu away from Kaede..I'm such an idiot to fall in love with someone who already has they're heart set out for someone else! I know I should just give up on him and move on, but it's hard to move on when you love them too much...I can never get too close to someone, they always end up breaking my heart or hurting me deep inside.

*Saihara's pov*

Why'd he interrupt me? I was about to confess my love for him but...he randomly said Kaede's name? He thinks I still love Kaede..but that's not what I was gonna say. I truly love you, Kichi.

A/n: this chapter reminds me of 5th grade, I found out that my crush had a new girlfriend and I started tearing up 🥰
