Shuichicest - Saihara Shuichi x Kagehara (Pregame Saihara Shuichi)

🍋~🍋~🍋

Flipping the page of his book, Shuichi continued to read in the light of his bedside lamp. It calmed his mind before going to bed. His window was drawn, hiding the streets sleeping in the middle of the night. Shuichi rarely went to bed so late due to him starting work earlier in the morning. However, he didn't need to worry about that for two weeks. He'd been given a break due to built-up leave. It wasn't like Shuichi wanted a break but he had no choice.

A knock on the bedroom door broke the trance Shuichi found himself in, causing the male to sigh. Placing his bookmark into the book and closing it, Shuichi placed it on his bedside table. He rolled out of bed, stretching as he stood. Going to his bedroom door, Shuichi swung it open to reveal the only other person living in the home. Kagehara.

The two had lived together ever since the end of Danganronpa five years prior, never apart since. During Danganronpa, Kagehara had been created as a motive. That wasn't all he was though. Kagehara was his own person. Everyone accept Kagehara as someone else which made him happy, he'd admitted to Shuichi he liked feeling like he belonged. It was weird though, for the both of them.

Kagehara had been created as the other version of Shuichi. They were supposed to be the same person with different personalities. Due to the sheer difference in personalities, they soon considered Kagehara as another friend who happened to look exactly like Shuichi (at the time). When waking up from the simulation at the end of the game, Kagehara appeared with everyone. It felt amazing to have the male with him, despite being opposite people.

"I heard a noise outside my window and I'm... scared..." Kagehara huffed, mumbling the last word. He crossed his arms over his chest, head turned to the side as a faint blush spread across his face.

"I thought you were fearless, sinister and not to be fucked with?" Shuichi chuckled, repeating the description Kagehara had given during their first meeting. "You're scared of some wind on your window?"

"I- Well- Just fucking check will you?! Better you die than me!" Kagehara spat, glaring at the male. Shuichi always found it a little odd to see matching golden eyes with a hint of grey staring back at him. Admittedly, over the years, it'd become easier to handle.

"Fine fine, I'll have a look," Shuichi sighed. He couldn't hide the smile tugging at his lips though. Squeezing past Kagehara, Shuichi entered the open bedroom across the hall from his. The room was pitch black, decorated in black decorations and resembling a stereotypical teenager's room. It fit Kagehara's style, the male being quite gothic and alternative. Shuichi, on the other hand, kept his style classical and basic. Externally.

The window covered by deep purple curtains tapped, encouraging Shuchi to investigate. It surged terror through the male's veins, worst-case scenarios flashing before his eyes. He couldn't let it get to him, he had to impress Kagehara. Wait, why? What was the reason he felt that way? Why would he have to impress his friend and roommate? Someone who'd never be anything more. People would despise them for having a relationship. No, Shuichi had to convince himself that people's judgement wasn't the only reason. Shuichi had no romantic or sexual attraction towards Kagehara, right?

Storming up to the window, Shuichi took a deep breath and swung open the curtains, seeing nothing on the other side. A tap on the glass made him jump and squeak. Embarrassing, yes, but he heard another yelp behind him. With a trembling hand, Shuichi grabbed the window latch and unlocked it, pushing the panes open to reveal nothing odd. "There's nothing there Kag- Ah!"
