❁fatigue❁

Your heart sunk as you saw kaede curled up. Her head in between her knees, sobbing uncontrollably.

Kokichi was sick in your bed with God knows what, kaede was crying on your floor, and not even a few hours ago there was a literal heart barely a few feet away from you. Even with your ultimate, a stressful situation like this was almost too overwhelming.

Almost.

For a split second you took a moment to look around and consider if using your ultimate would make things better or worse in this already bad situation.

You basically already knew how Kaede was feeling, but you had little to no clue about how Kokichi was feeling. So, as discretely as you could, you cast a quick glance over to Kokichi. He was laying down so far into your bed that it looked like he was getting absorbed into it. He had an indecipherable dark expression on his face... You never seen one like that before?

A harsh chill racked your body, an unconscious grimace forming on your face.

You couldn't put your finger on it exactly, but you knew he wasn't the most enthusiastic about what was happening. You should probably should end this a soon as possible. If not for yourself, for-

Before you could finish your thought, you were nearly knocked down by Kaede. Her arms wrapped around you, nearly giving you a heart attack.

"Kaede-"

Your words halted as Kaede spoke, her voice wavering and wispy as if she was trying to avoid the others from hearing her.

"I can't take this anymore!... every.. everyones..."

Trying to fight through her sobs, she tried her best to talk to you, her words slurring after her first sentence. You couldn't help but soften at her distress.

"Hey hey, take your time and breath. I promise I'm not going anywhere"

She nods her head as she takes a shaky breath and tries to continue.

"Everyone's arguing... nones listening to anything I say-" Her voice gets caught in her throat and she pauses for a moment to breath. "...they're still talking about the heart- and they're so mad-"

A slight panic rose in your chest as you listened to what she said. If it was Maki, this could get incredibly ugly very very quick.

"Who? Who was mad?"

Her voice trembles as she answers

"Ran...Rantaro and Kaito are mad"

The room fell silent for a moment. Rantaro and Kaito?

What... what were they even arguing about?

You hesitated before speaking.

"W...Why? What were they arguing about?"

She sniffles and whines out a response.

"Everything.. at first it was just about the heart b-but then they started to talk about you"

That only made you more confused,

"Me? Why were they talking about me?"

Kaede nervously bites her lip as she cast a shy glance behind you. At first you were lost, then without having to turn around, you realized exactly what she meant. They were talking about Kokich.

Unfortunately for the both you, despite Kaede's discreetness, it seemed like Kokichi caught onto Kaede's glance just as well as you had.

You didn't need to turn around to feel his gaze burning through the both of you. It didn't discourage you in the slightest.
