I know your secret. ( Revamp )

Gemini. ( Readers Pov )⚠️

I hardly remember falling asleep, I remember talking to Miu but that was about it. My alarm had started to ring as I sat up to turn it off, I glanced down at my phone; no answer. That was okay! Kiyo was sure to come to school today! I unplugged my phone from it's charger as I got up and changed into my uniform that I set out last night after i had washed it. I couldn't help but try to ignore the pit of anxiety swarming into my stomach. Fuck. After I got on my uniform I grabbed my school bag and flung it over my shoulder. One last thing I grabbed, my headphones. Music was sure to calm me down. I put in my earbuds as I walked out of my room and downstairs, my parent(s) had already gone out. I walked out the door and turned on some soft indie music as I began walking to school as the sun slowly came up.

Hopes Peak Academy (Morning Hour; Before class)

I made my way to my shoe locker as people were slowly piling in. I switched my shoes quickly as the amount of people walking in had made me uncomfortable. I shuffled my way away from the shoe lockers and made my way down the first hall. I turned off my music and put my earbuds away as I looked up the staircase I saw Miu who seemed to have been waiting for me, her lips puckered inward as if she needed to say something. I stepped up the stairs quickly as she waited at the top. "..R/N, I made sure he was here before you got here..He's in class right now..! Although his little attention seeking buddy is with him as well. I'll tag along with you. Hope you don't mind the extra company!" She placed her hand on her hip as I smiled to her. "..Thank you Miu, I appreciate it, just one person is enough for me..!" Miu's eyebrows raised as Kokichi and Gonta caught themselves in the corner of my eye. "..Oh Hi guys!" I waved, although they stood there not really saying anything, I looked back to Miu who was now standing without her typical confident idle stance. "Miu did you..invite them too..?" I asked, she nodded, I could tell she felt bad inviting them. "Aw! Come on R/N Miu only told us half the story so we won't be too curious on why we're here for backup!" Kokichi giggled, Gonta nodded agreeing. I hoped this was the one time that Kokichi wasn't lying. "..Fine! But only because you and Gonta are my friends! Plus..Miu is my best friend so I trust her decisions." I walked with the three of them up the next few flights of stairs, with the short time we were walking, topics varied from the talent exam to the time Gonta showed up to school without shoes. We got to the classroom, Although my body felt queasy the second I saw the door. Keebo was standing outside of it, once we noticed us he waved. "So R/N..I also had to have Keebo on standby! In case Korekiyo left! For any reason!" I didn't know why I let this slide but I did, besides Keebo was always trying to do the right thing so clearly he saw some good in doing this. "Hey Kee-Boy! Thanks for being the lookout department any updates!?" Kokichi clearly loved how this was considered drama, and now he was involved with it, he enjoyed every second he could get a word in about it. "Korekiyo is still in the classroom with his sister..! His sister is making quite the crowd." Gonta looked in and nodded to us. Kokichi looked to Miu. "A part of me is still shocked you had no clue Miyadera was Korekiyo's sister, you sure are smart but you have your stupid moments girl." Kokichi laughed at her as she basically growled at him. "Look! I like a bit of drama of Hiyoko that's it! Besides Miyadera wears twenty layers of foundation how the hell was I supposed to know if her face is molded out to be some sort of custom face fleshlight! And I've only seen her a few times around the school!" Keebo pinched his nose as the two bickered. Gonta looked to me as my face grew pale. He put a hand onto my back and smiled at me. "..Korekiyo is your friend. You will do great speaking to him..!" I smiled back, I felt a bit better, Gonta was such a sweetheart to everyone. I took a step forward as I walked into class.
I felt a few eyes on me, only a couple, four being the friends behind me as I walked in and two others being Tenko and Himiko who were talking at their desks. Himiko waved to me slowly as she rubbed her eyes. Tenko didn't make any remark, she just looked and then began speaking to Himiko again about her favorite food items. I looked to Kiyo who sat in the back. I froze, His hair was up. I had only seen him with his hair up a few times, sure today was going to be hot but he looked more like himself with his hair up in a messy bun. He was looking to Miyadera who was in the back of the class talking to Kaede, Kirumi, Kaito, Rantaro and Angie. I walked to my desk first putting my things down. "..R/N! How lovely to see you!" I heard from behind me, Miyadera's voice rang in my ears. "Oh- Uh..Hi Miyadera.." I turned to see everyone's eyes on me, a few gentle ones and ones that looked kind of scary. Although, When I turned around the only pair of eyes that mattered were Kiyo's. My heart ached as he stared at me. I heard a few people say hello to me but my world was focused on Kiyo. He stood up and turned his head away from me as his body turned towards me. I felt awful, I felt..sick. I looked to him as he looked to me. Pain. That's what I felt. He quickly moved passed all the desks and held me. He held me. So tightly. So gentle. So..warm. His hands placed themselves one on my back, one on my head. My head was curved as I listened to the music of his heart thumping quickly. He held me so tightly It..it felt so reassuring. "I'm so sorry R/N. I am so sorry about yesterday that was a complete inappropriate thing of me to do to you..you just wanted to help." He spoke softly as some of his bandaged fingers ran across my back gently, drawing shapes like stars and hearts on me. I felt my own hands wrap around his waist after standing there dumbfounded for a moment or so. "..You aren't mad..?" I questioned, looking up at him as my eyes landed onto his, he chuckled. "..No. I would not be mad at you, after all, you are my best friend. I could never stay mad at you R/N. I wasn't mad at all actually. My words came off across as confusing because I wanted to try to get you to stop trying to help because I did not need it. I apologize. They came out wrong. I am..hard to understand. Even I have realized that." I think he realized I wasn't mad. "I'll learn, if it's the last thing I do.." I moved my head back down so my ear was resting onto his chest. "Aw..Dear brother I am so glad you and R/N made up..!" Miyadera walked towards the two of us as everyone else from her little crowd was talking amongst themselves now. Miyadera joined the hug, although it quickly broke up after I grew uncomfortable from her hand squeezing into me.
      "..You knew?" Korekiyo softly said, he stood beside her as she nodded in response. "Mother told me and Father." Her eyes landed onto me. "..I..I hope that you enjoy your talent! I think it was a..better idea I stepped out of the talent exam." I felt bad after she said that, curving down my eyebrows together sadly. "Miyadera. I would prefer if you were to wait out.." He didn't continue the sentence after she worded through her lips something I couldn't seem to make out. He looked to me now and smiled. "..I am sorry R/N it is very important I get some time in with my sister this week..I do hope you understand." I nodded as he smiled to me. It felt good knowing that we weren't in a bad state of our relationship. It was just a misunderstanding. "It's really no problem Kiyo! Besides Miyadera needs you right now!" I smiled, although Kiyo looked a bit mortified after I said that. "..What does that mean?" Miyadera said. "Well-" I realized what I had said, luckily Miu had promised to back me up, realizing I was stammering she made an entrance as her shoes clicked against the wooden floor as she walked in. "Hey R/N!" She flung an arm over my shoulder as she pulled me for a side hug. She looked at Miyadera up and down ignoring Kiyo who was standing next to her. Kiyo moved away a bit as his trust issues with Miu weren't so great. Kiyo understood Miu loved gossip and sense he was the main talking point of Hope's Peak with how different he was. He always thought she talked bad about him. Although I know she actually didn't really mind Kiyo. "You did not answer my question R/N." Miyadera spoke up, My eyes shifted to Kiyo as his chest rapidly shot in and out. He was practically shaking.
"Miyadera we can leave, R/N probably had meant it in a way that-" "Shut up Korekiyo!" Miyadera snapped her head to him and shushed him, her temper quickly becoming more intense. "Tell me what you mean by that R/N!?" Oh she has got me pissed off now. "..Miyadera-What kind of a sister would tell her brother to shut up and claim that you two are closer than we are! That is no way to talk to Korekiyo and you have been shushing him his entire life!" I removed Miu's arm from my shoulder and stepped forward, almost trying to intimidate her so she would leave me and Korekiyo alone. "So what I meant by that was, it's probably a good thing you have Korekiyo right now! Considering he would back you up in a heart beat after all the things you have manipulated him with! So tell me this Miyadera why are you stealing drugs off of campus?" I couldn't see Miu or Kiyo's faces, but I heard the ringing of talking in my ears as I didn't raise my voice to draw attention. Her eyes were almost poking out of her head. She looked mortified before another lie came flowing from her mouth. "..Why would you ever accuse me of..of something so sinister! I would never do or sell drugs!- Korekiyo-" She turned to him, Although I put my hand under her chin to make her attention draw back to me. "..Don't bring him into this! You only use him! Cause him stress and I'm sorry I've never talked about this before but you are not my friend. I never liked you with the way you treated Korekiyo. You are one sick bitch treating him the way you do!" She snapped back as she lifted her hand to slap me across the face. It burned, it felt like fire but hell did it feel good to say all of that now.
She stood there as now the classes attention was on her. I held my cheek before anyone did anything. Korekiyo stood in front of me as I watched him protect me. He didn't say anything but stare at his sister. "..R/N is right. They were there for me when you were trying to hurt, manipulate and change me. I see your tactics. You were never right about R/N. You are disgusting to me, and drugs!? Miyadera..you can't do that! Not in the state you're in. Ever come near R/N again, and I will make sure you get what you deserve for being such a rotten fuck." Korekiyo looked back at me as I looked to him as well. Miyadera didn't stop there her mouth kept unwinding useless bullshit. "You really believe them over me!? Korekiyo why do you act like I am your enemy- I..I am your sister! I love you very much!" "You should have remembered that before you started manipulating me." He backed up a bit so he was fully covering me. "Seriously Brother!? Drugs-I..I would have no use for them! After all I am clean! I have no reason to use them nor do I care for them!" This time before Korekiyo could say anything again. Miyadera turned around and walked to the back entrance of the classroom, everyone watched her including me.
Before she could open the door someone else did, it was Kokichi. Miyadera tried to move past him but the second he took a step forward he tripped, spilling his Fanta all over Miyadea's uniform. "Oops!" He said, getting himself up and throwing away his can of Fanta to pull out another one. Miyadera looked at her uniform and growled. "..Really!? All of you are..are just so rude! You only ever believe what you hear!" With that she walked out, although everyone's attention was on me. Kaede had run out of the class with Kirumi to find Miyadera. Assuming the two felt bad for her. "I-.."
I didn't make out a sentence before Kiyo turned to me and checked my cheek, it was red but not inflamed. He sighed through his nose, shutting his eyes in relief, his shoulders fell as he pushed back some of his hair in his face. As much as he stood firmly, his body was..scared. He was scared. Poor Kiyo. "..Hey..You did so well, I know it's not easy standing up to an abuser that is someone you care for it's..not something anyone can just do. You were so brave protecting me and..protecting yourself!" He clearly wasn't expecting me to praise him. His eyes watered up as he smiled to me, it hit a nerve for him. That was okay, he was okay, who knows what kind of person he would have been if she manipulated him more than she has already. "Alright you two cut the romantic tension please." I turned to Miu as well as Kiyo. She rolled her eyes putting a hand to her hip. "..I'm a bit surprised you didn't say anything..!" I said, She laughed. "..Your boyfriend took care of everything! and I was so totally wanting to see Kokichi spill the Fanta on Miyadera so I didn't keep her waiting! She got what she des- Oh sorry Korekiyo." She said. He shook his head as he wasn't offended by her comment. "..Hey..Korekiyo you should hang out with us after school today!" Kiyo looked surprised as he looked to Miu. "..I would ruin your friends reputation. You are all very lucky humans to have such a successful reputation so there is no point in me coming."
Miu laughed. "Suit yourself! We always meet up at Keebo's house, I think it's time for you to make some new friends..besides I think R/N gets boring enough as is." "..Miu!" "I'm kidding! Anyway the offer still stands, but if you're too chicken to come because there are going to be people there then-" "..I will go." He said, It made me happy knowing Kiyo was willing to make some more friends! "..It'll be fun! I pinky promise!" Korekiyo sighed. "Although I doubt I will be able to come after that incident with my dear- with..Miyadera." He cut his words off trying to break the force of habit in his speech. "He's right.." I commented. Miu shrugged. "..If you can't I can't do shit!" She walked off to her seat and left me and Kiyo to talk. "..Thank you again Kiyo. I'm sorry that me and your sister don't get along." He shrugged. "..It is out of your control." He spoke. He smiled to me and walked back to his seat. I sat down at mine and waited for class to start, Hearing my phone buzz from my bag I picked it up and checked the message.
