Loner Liar - Kokichi Ouma Post-game

22- Confession?

Kokichi's Pov

Shuichi and Momota dragged me to the infermary (i know there isn't an infermary in V3, but lets just imagine there is).
It was empety, exept for Tojo-san who was organizing some medicine bottles in a small balcony on the left of the white and blue room.

"Oh! I'm glad you found him. How are you doing Ouma?"

God. Just stop with the questions.

"You see... I'm totaly fine exept for this disease that will kill me in two weeks. Nothing special!"
At least I'm able to desguise the truth behind irony, terrific.

Kirumi looked quite sad with my statement, which kinda made me sad too. I like Kirumi. She's cool ;(

"Tojo-san, would you mund if I talked to Kokichi in private before you take care of him?"

Does Shumai wants to talk to me?

Kirumi smiled at the detective and both her and the astronaut left the room, leaving me and Shuichi alone.

"Kokichi..." He started.

Please don't ask me anything.
Please don't ask me anything.
Please don't ask me anything.
Please don't ask me anything.
Please don't ask me anything.

"Rantaro told me you ran away from my room, as if you were scared to be there... Why did you do that? Did I do something wrong?"

>:(

Shuichi's Pov:

I feel bad for taking advantage of Kokichi's condition. But I can't take this out of my mind.
Why did he avoid being in my dorm? Was he scared of me? What did I do?

With a gasp, Kokichi gave me a 'go fuck yourself' glare. I mean, it's fair. But guess what? He has to answer me truthfully.

Soon enough, the purple haired boy opened his mouth to respond with a sight.

"You are so opportunistic, Shumai. Actually, it's quite difficult to explain, sice neither I know the answer.
But you want the truth. And only the truth. So here it is. I think you are totaly not boring person. You are smart, you make me smile everytime I see you. I kind of want to be more around you every day. Only your precence can make my day.
But after that... Thing that happened in the sleepover... I realised... I don't deserve to be with you. I do wanna get to know you better mister detective, don't get me wrong. And I'll do my best to not be a waste of your time. That's why I didn't want to be in your dorm. It made me fell... Out of character. Like as if I shouldn't be there." He made a quick pause, smiling at me while two tears made their way down his cheek.

"We're total opposites, Shumai! Our personalitys were really made to be antagonic, weren't they? The hero and the villain. The truth and the lies. The trust worthy detective and the evil supreme leader. The protagonist and the antagonist... The loved by everyone and the loner."

The only thing that could be heard were Kokichi's silent sobbs. The boy's face was so red that I thought his fever had just gotten worse.

My mind was still tying to assimilate every single word Kokichi told me.
He doesn't mean it, right? It's... I has to be a joke...
No, that's impossible because of the motive's side effects, at least that's what Amami-kun told me. He cant lie right now.
Is this... How Ouma feels about me?
How do I reply?

Ouma came closer to me, touching my sholder slightly and mumbeling in my hear.

"And now that I made it wierd, I must take my exit. HEY TOJO-SAN! YOU CAN COME IN!"

Kokichi called for Kirumi, who opened the door and entered the infermary.

"Shuichi, It's getting a little late, is it not? May I ask you to leave so I can check on Ouma's health before night time?"

I didn't want to leave. There were way to many things I had to talk about with Kokichi. But I guess I have to prepare myself for that talk before actually having it.
I nodded to the ultimate maid and waved bye to both my friends. Afterwards, I met up with Kaito outside.

"Heya sidekick! Is everything ok?" He asked.

After a pause, I felt I had to ask him something.

"Kaito... Have you ever liked someone... Romanticly?"

I took Kaito by surprise. He stared at me and answered after a bit of thinking.

"... I might be liking someone. And you?"

"I guess i made it quite obvious with my question..."

I smiled at the tall man next to me. We should probably talk about this coversation later. But now... Both me and Kaito looked to embarassed to keep discussing about our fellings.

And so, we returned to our dorms, silently, waiting for tomorrow's day.
