Your magical lies - OuMeno story (Kokichi x Himiko)

truth or dare

In less than one hour the guests would arrive.
The only ones who were already with me were Miu and Tenko.
The blonde had already informed everyone.
I had to admit that she was good at planning because everything was already prepared.
I was so damn nervous, which Tenko noticed immediately.
"You look gorgeous Cutie, i love this dress on you"
She brushed with her hand over my shoulder, as if she were wiping away some dust.

"Thank you.." I mumbled.

"WAHG"
Miu placed the pizza boxes she had just ordered on the living room table.
"Are ya chicks ready?!"
She yelled.

I jumped up off the couch and clenched my fists.
"Yes, i am!"

"YAY!"
Miu held out her flat hand and I gave her a high five.

Then she leaned towards my ear.
"I'll help ya with Kokichi, alrighty?"

I just nodded and my eyes darted nervously to Tenko, who was only looking at us in confusion.

It didn't took long for the first people to arrive. Bright colorful LED lights lit up the living room, while loud music was playing.
And I? I was sitting on the couch, holding a glass of water, watching the people who were already there.

"Hey Himiko-chan,"
Kaito approached me, together with Maki on his side.
"Happy birthday!"
The astronaut grinned broadly as he held out a package to me.

I accepted it with a smile.
"Thank you"

"Happy birthday from me too"
Maki said in a calm tone, I almost didn't heared her because of the loud music.

"Thanks"
I put the gift aside, on the couch next to me.

"Heyy Himiko!"
Kaede joined us with Shuichi and Rantaro following her.
I felt somehow surrounded and overwhelmed.
They congratulated me and gave me gifts or money and i accepted everything with a nervous smile. Well, I was happy of course but  also don't knew what to say besides 'thank you guys.'

I sat constrained between Tenko and Kaede on the sofa while I more or less listened to my classmates conversations.

"Soo.. how old are you getting? Sorry i forgot it!"
The purple-haired astronaut smiled sheepishly

"17 you idiot.."
I quickly answered.
Wow

Almost all guests arrived already.
Suddenly, Miu came up to us and pushed Shuichi aside, who had been standing next to Kaito.
"Go out of the way emo boy!"

"Ey!! Don't disrespect my sidekick!!"
The astronaut yelled in anger

"Ah it's okay.."
Shuichi sighed.

Miu ignored him and grabbed my arm, pulling me up off the couch, dragging me with her.
I almost tripped, if she hadn't held me.
"Miu- ouch ...Miu!"

Only as we arrived at my room, she let go of my hurting arm.
"Miu what's-"

"Himiko!"
I shut my mouth and looked at Miu's serious face.
"Everyone is here but guess who's not showing up!?"

"Nyeh...is really everyone here? What's with Gonta?"

"Kokichi was definitely not with him, that creep is outside in your fucking garden, because he don't like the atmosphere inside"
Miu crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Did you invite him at all?"
I could already feel the disappointment rising in me.

"Of course i did!!"
The annoyed girl raised an eyebrow.
"I literally spammed that lil fuck!"

"And what now?"
Sad i looked to the ground.

"I DON'T KNOW" Aggressively, Miu turned away from me to kick my closet, then yank open the door.
"Get finally out of there!!"
