‹Is this really me?›

Pancakes with a side of confusion

-★Still Kokichis pov★-

I’m startled awake by the morning announcements, reluctantly sitting up and groaning slightly, stretching as I'm forced to listen to the Monokubs annoying voices over the speakers, honestly I'm glad that one of them got crushed during... Kaedes execution. But anyways-

I sigh before hesitantly getting out of bed, the floor feeling cold against my bare feet as I stand up and walk over to my closet, putting on the exact same outfit that I've been wearing since we got here... Hold on- do we even have any other clothes except our 'pajamas'? Sure we have more clothes but they're just copies of the same outfit... Y'know what, I just woke up and I don't want to already short circuit my brain, I'll just put my clothes on and- oh, I slept with my scarf on last night. Dumbass…

I change into my uniform and go into the bathroom to brush my teeth, running my hands through my hair to make it look at least a little less messy before walking out of the bathroom, walking over to my dorm door and just standing with my hand on the knob for a few moments, checking to see if I did everything on my imaginary list and getting ready for a whole day of keeping my mask up… I sigh before reluctantly opening the door and leaving my dorm, walking to the dining hall with my hands up behind my head and a soft smile on my face, luckily there's no one else in the halls right now... 'cause I probably look so out of it.

(He put his shoes on btw I just forgot that those existed-)

|At the dining hall ^^|

I open the dining hall doors to see almost everyone here except… Saihara, huh. I see a few people roll their eyes at my appearance but ignore it and start to actually walk into the dining hall only to get nudged in the shoulder slightly by Momota as he passes by me and leaves the dining hall. I look back and glare at him for a moment before returning back to my soft smile and walking over to a table, not really interacting with anyone and just listening in to their conversation, which is about some rock Gonta found outside in the grass with some writing on it… wait that was me. Thankfully Yonaga manages to shift the conversation slightly by mentioning Atua saying it's graffiti or whatever, I'm getting bored already… hm, no one seems to be eating so I assume we're waiting for everyone so we can eat breakfast together, Momota probably went to go fetch Saihara then if that's the case…

Everyone continues their boring conversation with me just listening for a few minutes before Momota finally comes back into the dining hall, a hat-less Saihara trailing behind him. My head perks up slightly in realization. Wait, Saihara with no hat?!

Everyone else seems to have a pretty similar reaction to mine as everyone turns to look at him with slightly surprised looks on their faces, he seems nervous and I notice him instinctively reach to pull his hat down before awkwardly bringing his arm back down to the side after remembering it's not there. Saihara finally speaks after a few moments, mumbling a good morning to everyone

“Oh fuck his morning voice is kinda hot ngl”

I blush slightly and forcefully push the thought back into the depths of my mind where it came from as a few people mutter out some good mornings or compliments in response to Saihara, meanwhile I take a bit of a… different approach

“Hey, you finally got rid of your emo hat! Is this ‘cause Kayayday died or whatever?”

I wince slightly at my own words but hide it the best I can, putting my arms up behind my head and smiling, though it doesn't seem to matter that much anyways seeing as I get pretty much ignored… My words only earning a short scolding from Chabashira (Tenko y'all) and slight glares from a few other people, but it didn't seem to catch Shuichis attention unfortunately… wait why do I care. Ah... Shuichi looks quite tired though, it's very obvious he couldn't sleep last night, that or he fell asleep crying. Can't relate, I totally fell asleep instantly last night. It's not like anyone will get close enough to see the slight bags under my eyes anyways.

“Thanks mo- Kirumi!~”

I giggle slightly as I hear Kirumi sigh, sounding a bit disappointed at me calling her mom but not necessarily annoyed. I carry my plate over to my seat and sit down obviously. Kirumi made quite a selection of food for breakfast, it's actually quite impressive not gonna lie, but I just settled for the pancakes… I'm not really a big fan of “fancy” stuff, I like to know what exactly I'm eating you know?

I start to lazily eat my pancakes, there's no attention on me right now, that I know of, so I suppose I can let it slip slightly just while I'm eating. I sit by myself in silence for a couple minutes before suddenly Iruma comes over and sits down at the same table, not necessarily across from me but a bit off the the right. Neither of us say a word and Iruma doesn't even glance at me, which confuses me for a bit but I ignore it and continue eating… did I look lonely or something? I mean why would she care anyways. I roll my eyes and take my gaze off of Iruma, finding myself looking over at Saihara instead. He looks… quite pretty, with his hat off…

(A/N!)
Hello!!! Sorry this came out way later then when I promised it would ;-; I've moved recently and I'm still waiting for some decent wifi to get installed, plus I've had problems keeping my focus on a 8 hour playthrough of Drv3 chapter 2, I'm trying to watch it so I can get these events as close to canon as possible, even if I do throw in a few of my own things ;3

How are y'all feeling so far? Is my writing style good or do you have a little pet peeve about it? I'd love to know since I'm still slightly new to writing! ^^

I made it to 960 words this time! Hopefully that's more than atleast like 2 pages -_-
