No longer alone (non-toxic/stereotypical PG Saiouma)

Chapter 8: Meet and Greet

(Hiya! sorry I'm late hehe :D)

Kokichi's POV (3rd person):

Kokichi and Shuichi were both having breakfast. They were eating home made pancakes made by Shuichi. And Kokichi loved them a lot actually!

"Did you know that the meet and greet is today by the way?" Kokichi asked while he chewed on his food, making sure Shuichi knew. And apparently, he didn't.

"Wait really? is there any specific time to go?" Shuichi asked, worried to be late. Kokichi simply giggled and started answering. "Not really, it opens at 7am and closes at around 8pm." 

Shuichi sighed in relief at this as they kept eating breakfast, both of them started planning when they would go to the meet and greet and decided to go at around 1pm.

For the time being, they just wanted to 'relax' at the house a bit. And relaxing meant... Very chaotic moments together; like pillow fights, competing on video games and faking Danganronpa murders in very stupid and dramatic ways.

"Shuichi! You must know that... I am the mastermind!!!" Kokichi stated dramatically, using a blanket as a cape.

"Noooo! How could it be? I thought we were friends!" Shuichi responds in the same dramatic way as he faked having some makeup leaking from his face because of his 'crying'.

"That was the point! I manipulated you! Muahahaha!" The shorter boy then leaped on Shuichi, making the other fall as both of them laughed together.

"You have to join me now! Let's spread despair together!!" The purple haired 'mastermind' said, still giggling a bit.

"No I will never join you, you monsterrr!" The taller one answers with an overly dramatic tone.

"Then I shall force you to join me with no consent whatsoever!" Kokichi then took a fake syringe you would find in a kid's nurse toy kit and pretended injected a liquid on Shuichi's neck.

"Noooo the evil is overtaking me!!" Shuichi then started laughing demonically as he snatched the fake syringe away and faked stabbing Kokichi with it.

"Arghhh! blood, blood everywhere!" Kokichi yelled in 'agony' before falling on his back and doing a "bleh" sound when he stuck his tongue out.

"Noooo! I killed my only friend! I'm such a monsterr!!" Shuichi claimed as he hugged Kokichi's 'body' before getting a surprise attack from Kokichi attacking him with a pillow on his face.

Both of them laughed along while they started another pillow fight. And as soon as they tired themselves, they checked the clock to see what time it was. And it was 12 o'clock. Conveniently enough, they were hungry so they just planned to eat lunch and then leave for the meet and greet. And that's what they did.

As soon as they finished their lunch, they walked towards the front door and opened it, only to be greeted with heavy rain.

"Oh great, it's not even fall yet! I didn't bring my coat." Kokichi complained with a pout, making Shuichi chuckle while he walked towards his closet, coming back with two coats, giving the slightly smaller one to Kokichi while he puts on the bigger one. "Wear this coat for the time being, I don't want you to catch a cold." 

Kokichi blushed at this while he puts the coat on. Shuichi was so generous, Kokichi just loved how selfless the other was... It was adorable.

Both of them then took two umbrellas for both of them and finally left the house. Walking towards the location of the meet and greet.

But as they walked down the streets, they saw... A familiar guy standing under a tree as he looked bothered by the rain. Of course he was since he was only wearing a T-shirt. He must have been caught by surprise by the rain judging by his soaked green hair.

Kokichi quickly recognized who it was and tugged Shuichi's sleeve to get his attention as he gestured towards the guy. "Hey Shuichi, isn't that Rantaro under the tree?"

Shuichi looked towards the same direction, looking surprise as he saw that it was indeed him.

"Yeah it's him, but what is he doing here? Shouldn't he be at the meet and greet?" Shuichi asked curiously, making Kokichi shrug. "I don't know, but let's help him, the rain is heavy and he doesn't have anything to protect himself from a potential cold."

Shuichi nodded in agreement before they both walked towards Rantaro, catching the latter's attention.

"Do you need help sir? You look like the rain caught you by surprise." Shuichi asked, doing his best not to listen to his brain and hide behind Kokichi or something from the stress he gets to talk so casually to one of his idols.

"Ah yes, I wouldn't mind some help here. And you can call me Rantaro by the way, I'm more of the type of guy who's chill about being called his first name." Rantaro answers with a smile, making Shuichi advert his eyes in embarassement from calling him 'sir'. "R-right my bad."

"It's alright, and thank you for your help." He said, taking the umbrella Kokichi handed him as Shuichi shared his umbrella with the purple haired boy.

"Were you heading for the meet and greet?" Kokichi asked curiously. Rantaro nodded. "Exactly, are you and your boyfriend going there too?"

The two other boys blushed at the fact that Rantaro assumed that they were a couple. "I-I we're not a couple!" Shuichi stated shyly, looking away from both Kokichi and Rantaro.

"Really? I would have bet all my money that you were together." Kokichi tilted his head curiously. "Why do you think that?"

"Aren't you wearing your friend's coat? It looks too big for you." Rantaro pointed out. "Well yeah but it was because I forgot to bring my coat so he handed me one of his." Kokichi explains.

"Ah, I see." Rantaro then whispered, making sure Shuichi wouldn't hear. "But you do seem like you like him more than a friend, am I right?"

Kokichi's eyes widened as he tried to hide his blush to not catch Shuichi's attention before whispering back. "I-I mean... y-yeah."

Rantaro chuckled at the answer as he playfully ruffled Kokichi's hair. "I knew it. Anyways, as I asked earlier, are you two going to the meet and greet as well?"

Shuichi looked back at Rantaro from the question and nodded. "Actually, yeah."

Rantaro nodded too with his same calm smile. "How about we go together then?"

The two other boys agreed and started following Rantaro to the meet and greet place while chatting with him. It seems like they became friends and it was nice to make new friends.

Kokichi then saw Rantaro ask a question to Shuichi, but the rain was too loud for him to hear. All he can see was Shuichi hide his face under his cap and nodding while Rantaro chuckled in amusement and looked at both Shuichi and Kokichi with a knowing face.

Kokichi just shrugged that off and soon saw that they were right in front of their destination. Both Shuichi and Kokichi showed their VIP tickets to the person guarding the entrance before going inside following Rantaro.

"Say, how about we take a selfie?" Rantaro suggested, earning enthusiast nods from Kokichi and Shuichi. Making Rantaro giggle softly as he whispered Kokichi about a thing he could do while Rantaro takes the pictures, making Kokichi hesitate before nodding.

Rantaro then started taking the pictures, both Shuichi and Kokichi posing next to each other beside Rantaro. The first few pics were normal ones, but then, Kokichi blushed hesitantly and pulled Shuichi down to kiss his cheek. Rantaro taking the picture at the perfect moment of course.

Shuichi was now a blushing tomato at what Kokichi did and quickly gave Kokichi a kiss on the cheek in return, Rantaro took a picture of it as well.

The three boys then shared their social media accounts to be able to chat with each other and then spent time with each other. All hanging out like they were long time friends even though Rantaro was stopped non-stop by fans. He didn't mind though. Well only him because Shuichi and Kokichi kept recieving jealous glares from the fans they meet, but oh well.

Shuichi and Kokichi also stopped to buy some stuff or take pics with other people who appeared in Danganronpa. They even met Hajime and Nagito!

That was a really good day, but they had to go back to Shuichi's house since it was gonna close soon. So Rantaro gave them the umbrella back and waved them good bye while they waved back and left.

This day was another unforgettable one.
