This was the end. Hopefully, this would end all of the killings and despair. Despite them being enemies, Kaito and Kokichi realized they were the perfect pair to commit this almost perfect crime.
It was all set in motion. The plan was fully in place, and both were confident it would work.
The two boys sit in the Hangar room, both knowing what they have to do, but both being hesitant.
Kaito broke the silence as he cleared his throat, sliding off his jacket and scooting closer to the smaller male, wrapping it around him.
Fixing the collar of the jacket, Kaito couldn't help but look up at Kokichi. If he had just.. stopped to look at the dude instead of arguing with him, he'd notice his soft features. His sparkling purple eyes had no more sparkle in them, it was like the life he had was already sucked out of him.
Kaito's eyes met Kokichi's, sparring him a sad smile.
"Kokichi.. I don't think I can do this."
The astronaut mumbled as he felt his eyes water up. All he had to do was press a button.. but he'd have to sit through the pain and guilt of killing his classmate.
Kokichi only smiled, "oh cmon, Kaito, I thought you hated me~" he said, standing on his tippy toes, but still very much shorter than Kaito.
Kaito scoffed, "no, dude.. no.." he placed a hand on Kokichi's shoulder, sniffling.
"I can't." he shook his head. "I just.. can't take away your life that you haven't lived to the fullest. What if you haven't had your first kiss yet? you are going to even graduate.. or get married.. or.. or.." Kaito rambled on, putting his face in his hands.
"The least you can do is spare me just one of those things~" Kokichi grinned.
"Anything, man." Kaito replied with.
"Kiss me. I've never had my first kiss.. just let me have it before I go.." He said, leaning up.
Kaito's eyes widened, but then his facial features softened. He looked into Kokichi's eyes, admiring him for a moment before nodding. He carefully cupped the smaller males face, leaning down and closing the gap between them.
It was.. to say the least, the perfect kiss.
Kokichi felt tears spill from his eyes as he melted into the kiss, eventually pulling back as he looked at Kaito. "thank you.." he said, a genuine smile on his face.
"you.. you were always my favorite yknow." Kokichi added on, sliding under the hydraulic press and looking up at the metal that would soon collapse down on him.
"Kaito.." Kokichi mumbled, motioning over to the button that Kaito was hovering over. Kaito swallowed, nodding as his shaking finger pressed it."
"wait-" Kokichi said quickly as he reached out, trying to roll out from the press. But he was too late, it was crashing down slowing on him. "Kaito! Wait- p-please I don't want to d-" his words were cut off by the sound of bones crushing.
Kaito sat there for hours, wallowing in guilt. He'd never know what Kokichi was going to say.
