"A-Anyway.. let's go get some food.." Shuichi smiled anxiously.
"Yeah, sounds good." Kokichi chirped back, already completely distracted by the fancy and delicious looking food.
Shuichi picked up a small sandwich from the display unit then joined the queue in order to pay for it. He paid for his breakfast then turned around to see Kokichi sorting through, more like ravaging like a savage beast, the display unit for.. something. "Hey, you're m-making quite the mess.. What are you looking for?"
Kokichi kept rummaging through the display unit, messing it up entirely. "I'm looking for something to eat."
"W-Well, come on." Shuichi replied, nervously checking the time.
Kokichi eventually found something to eat and paid for it, sneaking a few free spoons and forks out of the cuterly box, along with two bottles of Panta. He opened up his backpack and slammed the bottles inside.
Shuichi was anxiously fidgeting, knowing that it was only 45 minutes until the lecture started and it had taken the pair of them around half an hour to walk there and would probably take the half an hour to walk back. "We need to go.. we can eat on the way." He instructed before walking out the shop.
"Jeez. Chill." Kokichi chimed back, following Shuichi out the shop.

Shuichi was walking extremely fast down the street, making it extremely hard for Kokichi to keep up with him.. he had forgotten that a friend with smal, legs isn't a friend who can walk fast..
"Wa—i-t" Kokichi panted, he had eventually gave up. He melodramatically clutched at his chest, mimicking the actions of a heart attack.
Shuichi heard the gaps of breath and staggered back to the smaller individual's side, "Kokichi! A-Are you okay?!"
"You were basically running! Slow the hell down." Kokichi gasped finally grabbing at Shuichi's arm, eventually resting his head on his shoulder, "I'm not dying, dumbass! When I do die I want to go out with a bang, my body can be blown up by fireworks and my guts can reign down on everyone! Nishishi! I'm so excited!~"
Shuichi's face turned bright red as soon as he felt Kokichi resting on him, yet was slightly disturbed at how he was so excited to explode.. without thinking, it was almost like an instinct, he started to play with Kokichi's hair, intertwining it within his own fingers.
His hair was soft, obviously shampooed and conditioned to perfection. Shuichi lifted his own head down slightly and smelled his hair, it smelled of lavender and c- what the hell was he doing?
He instantly pulled his hand away and started to blush fiercely, murmuring and spluttering apologies over and over again. Kokichi smirked, that felt nice, and it was super gay, so two for the win column!
~
They kept walking in silence. Not peaceful silence. Not satisfied silence. The type of silence that is caused by a truly awkward situation which had defiantly just occurred. Shuichi was fidgeting, tapping his hands by his sides, and apologising.. Kokichi rolled his eyes, that wasn't too awkward, was it? That was cute, but maybe Shuichi was inexperienced..? Well no shit Sherlock, he totally was, and Kokichi wanted to test his limits slightly.
When they eventually reached the university grounds, Kokichi checked the time, "Huh. We have fifteen minutes... it seemed we walked pretty fast after all."
Shuichi smiled awkwardly, "I can't apologise enough! I-I.. I didn't meant to.."
"Shut up already, you emo!~ Nishishi, it wasn't a big deal, just next time, put those hands to better use, kay?" He slipped in the innuendo to see where on the innocence scale he was.
Shuichi took a deep breath. "No.. I.. wait., W-what?!"
Kokichi burst out in a fit of laughter, loving how the realisation has totally gotten to him now. And the look on his face was just so adorable! "That red goes with your.." he scanned the monochromatic male up and down, unable to finding any matching colour, "..it just looks hot!"
Shuichi blushed even deeper, but spluttered some more words and ran away in the opposite direction, tripping over his footing within the first couple of steps.
Shuichi took a deep breath but continued to walk anyway. Haters gonna hate.
~
Kokichi crossed his arms, slightly pissed off. "Is he seriously going to walk away from me?"
He kept watching until he saw Shuichi walk around the corner out of view. "Jeez, he can't even take a joke?~'
Kokichi huffed to himself, obviously still pissed off then started to walk towards the lecture hall his class was being held in.
It took him longer than he first expected to find the room and he walked into the lecture hall to see around half the class dotted around the class, no-one really sitting next to one another. He scanned around the room for Shuichi then eventually spotted him near the back of the class, sitting on his own.
Although he was pissed at Shuichi, he had no-one else to sit next to as he didn't know anyone else. He slowly made his way up the stairs up to the back of the classroom and approached Shuichi. "This seat taken?" He said, pointing at the desk next to him.
Shuichi looked up at him then gestured towards the desk, "U-uh.. sure."
Kokichi swiftly sat down at the desk, getting out his equipment before putting his rucksack on the floor. "Did I do something wrong?"
"Huh? W-wrong?" Shuichi asked, sounding surprised.
"Yeah, you literally walked away from me before, mid conversation. What was with that?" Kokichi asked, slightly angrily.
"O-oh, no, no that wasn't, n-no that wasn't.." Shuichi tried to say but he stuttered anxiously.
Kokichi huffed obviously then shook his head and turned away from Shuichi.
Shuichi wanted to speak up but he didn't know what to say. He would probably screw it up or make it worse if he said the wrong thing.
"I just, was a bit surprised when you said about letting me.. mess with your hair." Shuichi replied anxiously.
Kokichi turned to face Shuichi with a puzzled but still slightly pissed expression on his face. "Yes, what about it? It was super gay but like, what's the problem?"
The lecture hall was filling up and there was probably only a few minutes before the professor would walk in and start the class.
"Just leave it.. please.. people are arriving and I really want to play atten-"
"Leave it?! I'm not going to leave it!" Kokichi exclaimed loudly, making the people around them look at them. "Tell me!"
"I.." Shuichi muttered, trying to hide his face with his hat.
"Spit it out already!"
Shuichi shot his head towards Kokichi. He had finally snapped. "I don't even know why you let me touch your hair like that Ouma. First we're roommates, second we're friends but stroking your hair like that.. it's not something that just friends do. You keep saying all these flirty comments to me and dropping all these hints about yourself, but are they hints or am I just going c-crazy?"
