It was just after shuichi escaped the killing game, so much had happened. But he was so relieved to know that all his friends were still alive.
"So, it was all just a simulation... A very painful simulation....", Maki states as they walk down the hospital hallway.
"Yeah... but- they still felt the pain and emotional anguish...", Shuichi had been holding off on visiting them. In fear of how much they went through, but after talking to Kaito and Kaede he learned more about how the very illegal simulation worked. Anything that happened to you there, you felt. 100% of it. Nothing was left un-checked, but then, you would still feel it in real life. And then wherever the injury was, there would be a dark colored birth mark on the skin. On most occasions, due to the nerves being tricked, sometimes there would be phantom pain near or around the birthmark, which would be just as painful as the original injury. "I am just happy everyone is alive nyeh-", Himiko then said as she took a left to Tenko's room. "Cya later." Himiko then disappears into the hospital room.
"I am going to go visit Kaito again today. You, should go visit a certain someone you coward.", Maki points out as she nudges Shuichi to the right and she continues down the hallway. Shuichi looks down the hallway, as a certain door comes to his attention. On the door reads, 'Kokichi Ouma", he looks at the door and slowly starts walking. His anxiety increases. He doesn't know what to say, should he... apologize? For saying... that...
Before he can finish his thought, the door opens up and a small boy in a wheelchair looks up at him, clearly tired, and quite pale, yet somehow still has that same chaotic and gremlin-like mood on his face. Kokichi.
"Shumai! I thought you would never come!" Kokichi states as he looks up from his wheelchair.
"Yep.. Hi Kokichi." Shuichi was caught off guard and still was trying to think of something to say.
"Come in! Come in!! Things have been so boorrriinnnnggg- All I do is take stuipid medication that still hasn't fixed most of my body's paralyzation! They say that it's a miracle I've come this far, but, they say I might be paraplegic for the rest of my life! But I doubt that, if the rest of my body came back, my legs will soon."
"... paralyzation..." Shuichi whispered to himself as he stood there in shock... but still walked in the room.
"So! What took you so long to meet me?! I was waiting for like, FOREVERRRR!" Kokichi said with a fake angry expression. Kokichi knew why, he just wanted to know what shuichi would say.
"... I uhm... didn't know how I would apologize for what I said..." kokichi looked up... he knew that was why... but hearing shuichi say it made it more intense... more real.
"Ohhhh- that! If I remember correctly.. 'You're alone kokichi, and you always will be', Man what an insult! But it's ok, I have been told worse! And either way, " Kokichi paused, for a moment his gremlin smile and happy persona faded, but quickly returned. "It's true! Nishishi~" kokichi didn't know what he was feeling... he wasn't angry at Shuichi... but he wasn't not mad.
"Kokichi... no it's not. It's not true... that was incorrect. I was wrong, im sorry. Kokichi.", Shuichi felt awful. He felt like he was the worst person in the world. But all those feeling went away when he looked at kokichi.
Tears. Real. Genuine tears. Flowed from kokichi's eyes. "... it's been awhile since someone has felt I was worth apologizing to..." kokichi purple eyes looked happy, but sad all at once. Kokichi, now crying grabbed shuichi's sleeve and pulled himself into a standing position, when he almost fell, shuichi caught him.
"Kokichi...", Shuichi said as kokichi leaned forward on shuichi.
"..." kokichi wasn't crying anymore, but felt completely at peace. He didn't know what to say. ( I didn't know what to write)
Shuichi felt calm too. And with that, shuichi lifted up kokichi, surprised at how featherweight he was, and set him on his hospital bed.
"Thanks shumai~" kokichi said back in his gremlin persona.
"you- you're welcome, Kokichi." Shuichi replied with a slight smile, and just as kokichi was about to say something else,
"Visiting hours are now closed. It is 5:00pm, visiting hours are now closed. Thank you." A voice on the intercom interrupted. Shuichi smiled a bit more at kokichi's pouting expression.
"no faiirrrr shumai~ you should stayyyyyy" kokichi whined as shuichi stood there.
"Well, it's not like I have choice, I will visit you tomorrow." Shuichi said fixing the cuff of his sleeve.
"Fine, but come here real quick, I have something to give you!" Kokichi replied a little... too happily, but shuichi came to kokichi's hospital bed side. ... "Is it ok if I give you this?" Kokichi asked with a gremlin smile on his face.
"Yes..?" Shuichi answered in slight confusion, why would shuichi need consent to receive a gift?
Just as shuichi put 2 and 2 together, kokichi grabbed shuichi's collar and tugged him into a quick kiss. And just when shuichi was going to question it.. he realized it wasn't that bad, and seeing kokichi's red face was a weirdly endearing thing, so without questioning it, and his face a little red, shuichi went to the door and left with a "Bye kokichi... love you." And shut the door behind him.
The End~ 🩷✨
