Rantaro's POV

After running out of Shuichi's house I ran back to the dorms and straight to Kaede's room. I bang on the door and a few moment later.. Kokichi? opens the door... what is he doing here? 

"O-oh.. hey Rantaro..! How was your talk with uh, Shuichi?" He asks.

"Uh.. about that.. hey is Kaede here? I really need to speak to her." 

Kokichi furrows his eyebrows. "Yeah, she's here.. I'll go get her." he says before closing the door and getting her. 

A few minutes later Kaede comes to the door. "So, what's this about?" she asks.

"I need to talk to you about Shuichi.." I say, giving her a weak smile.

Kaede rolls her eyes. "What more is there to talk about him? He's a danganronpa obsessed freak, who is also obsessed with your boyfriend, and a total stalker."

"Well, he told me some weird things, and after hearing them I think we need to keep a close eye on Kokichi, especially when he's around." 

Kaede glances at Kokichi then steps out of the dorm and closes the door. "What do you mean? What did he say Rantaro?" she asks, sternly. 

I take a deep breath before starting. "Well, he admitted that the apology was fake, and somehow knew that Maki was coming to his house with me, so to get me alone he staged a fake phone call about her damn mother in the hospital, then said that I made him insane for 'taking Kokichi away from him' and said he will get him back and I will never get to see him again."

Kaede's face drops as she hears everything I had to say. "Whoa.. that's some next level yandere shit.."

"Yeah.. I think we should tell Kokichi, but I don't know how.." I say,

"The same way you just told me." Kaede says, crossing her arms. 

"What if he doesn't believe me?" I say, defeated.

Kaede sighs before walking up to me and putting a hand on my shoulder. "Rantaro, your his boyfriend for crying out loud, he's gonna believe you. Trust me."

"Kaede.. who would you believe if you were him? His boyfriend for a couple years, who use to bully him in middle school? Or his best friend who has stuck by his side since like kindergarten?" I say, crossing my arms.

Kaede pauses dumbfounded, "Okay well, when you put it like- wait, wasn't Shuichi a total bitch towards him and kidnapped him too? If you add in that factor then I'd pick the boyfriend, just saying." 

I stand there for a moment, I totally forgot about all of that. Maybe I do have a better chance of Kokichi believing me. 

After Kaede and I finish our conversation I grab Kokichi and bring him back to our dorm. As we were walking to our dorm he finally spoke.

"So, what were you and Kaede talking about?"

I freeze. How the fuck am I suppose to tell him. I take a deep breath, well here goes nothing...

"Well, we were talking about... Shuichi.." I finally say,

"Okay." he says simply.

Okay? That's it? He doesn't wanna know what we said about him?

"I know you and Kaede talk to him, I'm not that naive you know? I don't understand why all of you guys exclude me when you talk about him? What do you think I'm gonna do?" he says before looking over at me.

"Well, we don't wanna talk about your best friend in front of you because.. well yo-"

"You think I'm gonna tell him, don't you?" he cuts me off.

Why does he think that we think that? I have never thought that in my life, me and the other don't care if Shuichi finds out what we say about him. I figured Kokichi would know that too.

"No, No, Kokichi! It's not that at all!" I say, putting my hands up.

Kokichi then stops. "Fine then, tell me. What did you, Maki, and Shuichi talk about then?" he simply asks.

I put my arm around him. "I'll tell you when we get back to our dorm, it's more of a uh.. private matter, okay?"

Kokichi sighs. "Okay, that's fine." he says before beginning to walk again. 

Once we arrive to our dorm, we walk in and I lock the door to keep creeps (Shuichi) out. After I lock the door I turn around and see Kokichi sitting on the couch, gesturing for me to sit next to him. I take a deep breath before slowly walking over and sitting next to the short, purple haired boy. 

Kokichi then crossing his arms and leans back against the couch. "So. What was discussed, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Well, Maki had to leave early first off because her mother had to 'go to the hospital' so after she-"

"Her mom got rushed to the hospital!?" Kokichi asks, his voice filling with concern. 

"No no, just hold on, let me finish the story first, then questions." I say, putting my hand up.

Kokichi nods, settling down a little bit. 

"After she left me and Shuichi went into his house, his house was very big, clean, and there's not much stuff in there, it was kinda weird for just one person, and the outside of the house looks like a type of house you'd see in a horror movie."

"Why'd he move houses? His other house was not even ten minutes away from the college." Kokichi says, giving me a weird look.

I shoot his a confused glance before continuing. "Well, he admitted the apology he said was fake, and knew that you were the only one who believed it, then he knew that Maki was coming with me so he faked a phone call that her mother was going to the hospital so he could be alone with me like he planned, then he said that I made him insane because I apparently took you away from him, whatever that means, then said that he's going to get you back and I'll never see you again." I manage to say in one breath. 

Kokichi looks at me with wide eyes, "I-I don't know what to uh.. say... um.. are you sure he faked the phone call and if uh.. h-he was serious?"

I freeze at his words.
