ஐ 3rd Person P.O.V ஐ

Outside the glass dome rain poured and thunder roared. The sky was covered in clouds and not a single streak of moon light could be seen. Inside the glass dome, in a dorm room owned by siblings, a small boy hid under his bed, flinching every time the sound of thunder echoed through the room.

The sound remembered him of dark times, where fighting and bottles crashing could be heard. He tried his best to stay put, making little to no noise. His cat snuggled up against him, afraid of the loud boom of the thunder. Her owner kept stroking her head, reminding her that there was nothing to worry about, even in their ironic situation.

Mikan opened her eyes after a particularly loud thunder. She raised her upper half, looking out the window. The windows were clear but the glass dome outside was foggy. Even then, it was obvious that it was still night, with the sky darker than that of a normal thunderstorm during the day. She looked at her brother's bed, finding him gone.

Noticing a movement under the bed, she got up, nearing her brother's bed. She lowered herself, pulling the covers up. the faint outline of a young boy could be seen. He did not look at her, keeping his head on his knees and looking in front of him while patting Patches.

"Oh, 'Kichi Is it t-the thunderstorm?" Kokichi said nothing, merely nodding. "C-come here.." The nurse said, extending her free arm. Kokichi slowly crawled out of his hiding spot into his sister's arms, Patches carefully being carried by his hands.

They stayed awake, laying on Mikan's bed silently and enjoying each others company until the morning announcement.

Mikan yawned, trying to stay awake. She had to get out of bed and change her clothes. Kokichi stayed laying on his spot for a bit before raising his head from his sister's lap and going to the bathroom. Mikan got up, searching for a clean change of clothes.

The doorbell ringed. Assuming it was Shuichi with his incessant curiosity for her brother, the purple haired girl left the change of clothes on her bed and opened the door.

"O-oh, Yonaga-san! I wasn't e-expecting you." She stuttered, surprised. Angie simply laughed. "Nyahahah, there's no need to be so formal Tsumiki-chan, call me Angie!" Mikan sighed, a rare playful smile appearing on her face. She shook her head. "You're just l-like Kokichi.." The nurse said, patting Angie's head just like she patted her brother's.

The artist looked curiously at Mikan, before a smirk appeared on her face. Mikan flushed, retracting her had almost immediatly, embarassed. "A-Ah! I-I'm so s-sorry Yonaga-s-san, I- I didn't mean t-o, it was m-muscle m-memory! Uh, I do tha-t to Kichi a-a lot a-and-" Mikan stuttered out. Her nervousness made almost everything she said not understandable, but Angie got some parts.

"So Kokichi likes pats on the head? Ah, he's just like a cat! So cute! Atua says that we need to have a girls- +Kokichi- night. It would be sooo nice!" She rambled on. Kokichi eventually got out of the bathroom, his hair dripping water, finally lowering and obeying gravity's laws. He had a towel wrapped around him as he had forgotten to take his change of clothes to the bathroom with him. The dark bags were more noticeable now that he had no makeup on to cover anything and everything and there was an obvious tired look on his face.

He looked for Mikan with his eyes, realising she was at the door. He looked out, seeing that Angie was out the door. With absolutely no sense of shame, she waved at him, closing her eyes and smiling. An audible 'yoohoo~' was heard from her. Kokichi flushed, sundently hyper aware of all the spots of skin he had exposed. He was mostly covered but couldn't help but be nervous when he was so vulnerable.

"Yo-Yonaga-chan! What are you doing here? Quit staring at me!" He said, directing his eyes to anywhere that wasn't the two girls. He cursed at himself for stuttering. Mikan looked at the interaction curiously, making no move to intervene. She knew that her brother couldn't like Angie, after all he was absolutely gay. Even so, she thought that they would be great friends if they tried. Now all she could do was wait while trying to get them to get along.

"Hello Ouma-kun! I never realised how small you were-" Kokichi, pulled the towel tighter "- You're so adorable! Angie feels the need to dress you up with all of the clothes Shirogane made! Angie knows most of her cosplays would look good you, and I'm sure Atua agrees." She started, teasing the poor boy. Kokichi looked as red as a tomato.

"Would you mind leaving so that I can get changed?" He asked, going to sit down on his bed, his legs dangling. Angie giggled. "Haha, so you do feel shame after all. With how you act most of the time, it looks like all you feel is annoyance." Kokichi tilted his head, confused. Water drops fell onto his bed from his hair. He tried to act annoying to everyone. Even though he sometimes actually was annoyed, he never thought his emotions would leak out.

The artist shook her head, smiling. "Don't worry, Ouma-kun. Well then, Atua told Angie that today would be a wonderful day for us all to be together, so Angie came here to tell you all to come to Angie's lab if you want to hang out with me, Chabashira-chan and Yumeno-chan!" She said, winking. Kokichi knew that those three were up to no good.

"W-we'll be there Y-Yonaga-chan." Mikan said, not letting her brother say anything, not that he didn't want to go though. Angie grinned. "Great! See you there!" The artist said, leaving.

The door closed shut. "U-uh, I forgot t-to ask her where it i-is. Do you k-know w-where her l-lab is Kichi?" She asked sheepishly. Kokichi rolled his eyes. "You have to leave too." The rain kept pouring outside the dome.

Kokichi and Mikan walked around the school, looking for Angie's lab. They talked about random topics on the way, like diferente kinds of food and their favourites. Passing through the cafeteria, they stopped, getting snacks and going back on their way.

Opening the cap of te bottle of panta on his hands, Kokichi brought it to his mouth, taking gulps. He looked at Mikan, who seemed to have something bothering her. "Something on your mind?" He asked after drinking the sweet liquid. "A-ah! D-don't scare me l-like that I-I was wondering w-why you h-have research l-labs for y-your own ultimates." She said. Kokichi hummed, entertaining the thought.

"Well, Yonaga-chan's wasn't discovered that long ago, but it seems that everyone has one. I guess it's just for us not to get bored. Whenever another part of the school gets discovered, there is someone's lab over there." He said, taking Another sip of his fizzy drink. "Have y-you discovered y-ours y-yet?" Mikan asked.

"No, not really. I don't care at all though, I have my dorm where I can do whater I want and the lab may have some nasty secrets that I don't want anyone knowing about." He said, bringing his finger to his lips in a hush motion at the mention of 'secrets'. "W-well, then, what do y-you think your l-lab will be l-like?" Mikan questioned.

"Hmm, probably something amazing to fit me, the ultimate supreme leader!" He joked. Mikan giggled. "You're a-an idiot." She mocked. They kept fooling around until they reached Angie's lab. Mikan ringed the doorbell, waiting for an answer. The door opened almost immediatly, Angie coming into view. Himiko and Tenko were further inside, getting stuff ready. "Hello, Angie's so glad you came! Come in, we have lots of fun things to do." She said, opening the door and letting Mikan and Kokichi come in.
