The True You

It's Not A Difficult Choice

Kokichi's POV

Me, Kaito and Rantaro are sat around Miu's dinner table. None of them had said a word since they came in, they both just stared at their hands in their laps.

"I'm not keeping it." I finally say. They both look up at me, shocked.

"Why not?" Rantaro asked sounding frustrated.

"I'm not dropping everything for something I don't even want."

"Well that something, is a baby."

"I know that but keeping it isn't even an option."

"Why? All three of us have more than enough money to raise it."

"You really think you both are capable of being a parent when you couldn't even handle pulling out? Don't make me laugh."

"So, me and Kaito don't get a say in this?"

"No."

"That's not fair, especially since one of us is the baby daddy."

"What's not fair is you trying make me keep it when I'm not ready for a kid!"

"You can always give it up for adoption!"

"You wouldn't let me do that! You'd want to keep it as soon as you see it."

"Well, what does Kaito think about all of this?" Kaito had been silent the whole time.

"From what I've heard, I don't think my opinion really matters."

"Finally someone gets it!"

"That's messed up."

"I don't care. I'm not keeping this thing inside me whether you two like it or not."

"Can I talk to Kokichi alone, Amami?"

"Sure, I'll be in the garden." Rantaro then stormed off.

"Well?"

"I think you're being harsh and cruel."

"I know I am."

"Then you know that this is another thing that will come in between us."

"I do." It was silent for a while. I don't know how long. It would be creepy if I counted the exact time.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why didn't you come and see me in the hospital?"

"I don't like hospitals."

"I don't Miu but here I am, in Miu's house."

"I have a fear of them."

"Why?"

"I just do."

"I know you were that night I passed out." I looked at him.

Kaito's POV

He looked at me, apologetic.

"I know it was you who caused the fire." He nodded his head. "Is that another reason why you didn't come to see me?"

"I had stuff to do."

"What stuff?"

"Stuff."

"Secrets aren't really good in a relationship."

"We're not really good in a relationship."

"Ouma."

"Momota." We stared at each other. His look wasn't familiar. He didn't look at me with hate, he looked at me with fear and it wasn't that fake look of fear he had when he was pretending to be afraid off me.

"Are you okay?"

"What do you think?!"

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking."

"You must be thick as shit if you don't know how I feel."

"Don't say stuff like that. Don't make me sound like some dumbass because you confuse me." He looked down, saying nothing. "I don't know how you feel, you seemed to be fine when people were receiving flowers at your desk but you seemed pretty freaked out nearly seven weeks ago in the classroom."

"I am scared. But not off being pregnant. I am scared off you."

"Me? Why?"

"Remember, I grew up in Russia."

"But it's the 21st century."

"My father was a rapist and a mafia boss. What do you think he was like when he found out my mother was pregnant with me? Life wasn't the best for her and there was a reason she was so scared off him."

"I'm nothing like your father."

"But it's all I know. What he was like."

"I promise I'll be nothing like your father."

"He promised my mother that he would never stop loving her, but look how they ended up."

"How did they end up?"

"My mother turned into a slut and my father turned into the biggest piece of shit going."

"Is that why you don't want to keep the baby?"

"I'm a seventeen year old. Obviously there's more reasons."

"Which are?"

"I don't want to push it out of my vagina, that would ruin my body, I don't want it to grow up with people who aren't it's real parents. And I'm joining Danganronpa in a month. I can't go if I have a baby."

"The first reason isn't very valid and the second reason doesn't explain much but the third reason? You're not joining."

"Why the fuck not?"

"Because there's a chance you will die."

"I don't care."

"That's your problem. You are careless."

"So are you and Rantaro! That's what got us in this situation."

"There's nothing me or Rantaro can say to get you to not abort it?"

"No."

"Okay. That's your choice and I support you."

"Really?"

"Yes. I love you, that's not gonna change by a decision."

"I love you too..." I pull him into a hug. "I'm gonna make an appointment tomorrow."

"Okay."

"Thank you for understanding."

"Anything for you."

Miu's POV

I watch through the window, sitting on one of my garden scenes. Kokichi and Astronut are hugging.

'Cute.'

I smile to myself.

It's not like I don't want a relationship but I don't want one right now. When I'm older, sure, fuck maybe I'll even get married and have kids but not right now. It seems like too much work and I've seen what pipsqueak has been like since he got into a relationship with Kaito, including when they first started fucking. I don't want to go through that. I can already tell how many people this relationship has upset and I don't want that.

'I guess it'll just be me and Gonta for a while...'

This is how I'm going to loose my best friend but at least I'll be loosing him to a guy who adores him.

'What if he leaves and never comes back? What if this relationship is the end of a fantastic friendship...I can't bare it...'

They pull away from each other and Kaito looks down at him and smiles.

'What if he dies? He's joining Danganronpa! He's gonna get murdered brutally! Someone's gonna have to be there to protect him....that should be ME! Fuck it, I'm signing up.'
