Slowly Decreasing Mental Health (Korekiyo x Reader)

Part 3: Pleasing The Dead

Y/N POV

There was a thick and heavy silence. Korekiyo's behavior was frightening.. He tried to kill me because I was a good friend, and he seemed to have very close relations with his sister.. Seems as if these rumors had some truth in them.. Korekiyo played with his fingers, a sign they are nervous or distracted. I sighed, knowing it wasn't going to be easy to help him. "Hey, look.. I can give you space if you want, or I can listen, or even just stand here and stay with you in silence.. Anything to make you feel okay. If you want, I can recommend you to a place where you'll be safe and cared for." I said, in the softest tone I could to make him at ease.

"Y/N. I am sane and of full mental stability, so I'll reject your very kind offer of sending me to an asylum," Korekiyo said. "But if you stay with me, I'll explain in due's time. For now, my request is for you is to continue being my friend." I nodded and smiled. "Do you want to stay? I mean we still have about an hour until our 2nd class. We can.. uhh.." I said, looking around for what we could do. My eyes paused at the book that was stabbed through. I picked it up. "How about hide this, before we get in trouble?" I said giggling. He nodded and gave what seemed to be a smile.

Time skip to lunch

Today at lunch, it was just Kokichi, Shuichi, Rantaro and I at our table. Maki and Kaito went on a date today. "So Y/N, how is Shinguji? I've been curious." Shuichi asked while sipping his drink. "Yeah, did he try to kill you or what?" Kokichi said with a grin. Uhh yes, but I can't tell you that or you guys would probably have the Ultimate Bodyguard after me. "Don't be silly, Kokichi. He's actually really personable." I said, responding to both of their questions. "He's not anything like we said?" Rantaro asked, spectating me. I would rather not lie, but if I say the truth that won't be good either... "Well he is 6 feet tall. I actually plan to ask him about the rumors." I said, avoiding anything about the murder, incest, and lipstick. "Are you sure? We wouldn't want you getting hurt." Saihara said, worriedly. "Not to worry, Saihara. I've dealt with murderers, psychopaths, and the suicidal. If anything, you shouldn't be worried now of all times." I said, reassuring him. "If you say so, Y/N" the Ultimate Detective said with a smile.

"So Maki and Kaito are on a date, where are you guys' lovers??" I said with a smirk. "I dunno, where's yours?" Kokichi replied with a grin. "I'll have you know that the love of my life doesn't exist. Their in an anime." I said crossing my arms. Kokichi bursted out laughing. "Well at least mine exists." Kokichi responded. "Oh really? Yours exists??" Rantaro said smiling. Kokichi looked with a dead straight face. "You exposed your own self Kokichi." Shuichi said, laughing at the end, making Rantaro and I laugh along with him. "I'll have you know, that I was lying. Can't believe you guys are too stupid to figure that out by your own self," Kokichi said. "Neeheehee, I'll never find love." Kokichi said, smiling and sniffling while wiping fake tears.

"And you guys?" I said looking at Shuichi and Rantaro sitting across from Kokichi and I. " I would rather focus on myself right now, than having a romantic interest. Maybe in the future I suppose." Shuichi said, adjusting his hat. "Aww, that's so-" I started to say before someone else interrupted me. "BOR-RING!! Yaaawnnn, typical Shuichi answer. What about you, Rantaro? Please tell me something interesting for once." Kokichi said, sipping from his soda can and looking at Amami. "Well.. there is this one person I can think of I like.. you guys know the Ultimate Pianist?" Rantaro asked us. Shuichi took off his hat with his jaw dropped "Akamatsu Kaede?" asked Saihara. When Rantaro nodded his head, Kokichi choked on his soda. I patted his back as he took some time to get over the shock that we have just received.

"Remind me not to crush on anyone.." Rantaro said rolling his eyes. I laughed and said "Ignore these two overdramatics. I don't know your crush, but I hope everything works out for you two!" Rantaro smiled. "You all can't say a word though." he said with a stern look on his face. We all swore our mouths shut about Rantaro's secret and continued conservation with the food we had.
