Hydrangea Leaves (Ouma Kokichi x Momota Kaito) (Sankarea AU) [One-Shot]

1

"Wait, so you're trying to resurrect your dead cat with a manual from what, five era's ago?" Ouma Kokichi, the Ultimate Supreme Leader, asked, raising his eyebrow.

The other Ultimate in the room, Momota Kaito, the "Luminary of the Stars," face turned red and he stuttered indignantly at the question.

"Well when you word it like that it sounds bad!" The astronaut argued, desperate to make the situation sound better.

Ouma just giggled, though it sounded more like a horse whinny, and maneuvered his way over to Momota and reached for the resurrection paper.

Momota threw his arm up into the air, keeping the paper out of reach of the short leader. The small ruler huffed in annoyance, face turning into a pout.

"What gives, Momo-chan?" Ouma questioned, elongating the "a." Momota crossed his arms, giving him a pointed glare.

"I don't trust you! Nobody does and nobody should. You'll probably grab the paper and run off, calling me crazy!" The astronaut accused. 

"Aww, is the cowardly Momota-chan worried about having his ego ruined?" Ouma teased. While Momota was distracted searching for a good comeback, the Supreme Leader used his lithe body to quickly snatch the resurrection paper out of the astronauts arm.

"Wha-hey! Give that back!" Kaito lurched downwards in an attempt to get the paper back but Ouma sidestepped away.

"Ok so it says you need some kind of poisonous plant but the name of it is scratched out," Ouma noted. Glancing back at Momota, the little Ultimate narrowed his eyes as though accusing him.

"I didn't do that! When I found that in the library it was already like that!" Momota yelled, causing the smaller Ultimate to signal him to calm down before they were caught still at school after hours. 

Turning back to the paper, "Hmm how many have you tried yet?"

Momota stiffened and looked down. "Zero..."

Ouma blinked. "This is going to take a while."

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"Well you're going to try, right?" Ouma asked, tilting his head.

Momota stiffened and mumbled, "Well yeah, but I didn't think you would be helping.." Ouma just grinned in response.

"Well how could I miss out on bringing something back to life!" A cheeky grin spread across the small boy's face and for once it didn't seem like a lie.

"Well this is the last try of the day," Momota concluded.

"Probably the last try of ever, too," Ouma added, sullenly adding the hydrangea leaves to the other ingredients that had been listed.

"I don't know about you, but I'm not going to give up!" Momota stated, energy brought back to him. Glancing down at the leaves the smaller Ultimate had gathered, he raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure those are poisonous?"

"Yeah, it's a hydrangea!" Ouma stated, brought back to life himself at being questioned. Momota just nodded, too tired to argue, and put on the gloves lying in the corner.

Mixing in the leaves to the other ingredients, the astronaut slowly but surely made the new resurrection potion.

Bored, Ouma took the time to eye his surroundings, noticing a small container in the corner that he could easily hide in his hands. The supreme leader reached for it, efficiently grabbing it and placing it behind his back without Momota noticing.

"Ok it's done, could you hold it please?" He asked.

Ouma laughed, "For a peasant you sure seem to forget who's higher than the other. But fine, I'll hold it."

Momota just rolled his eyes at the comment and turned back to grab the dead cat's body from the small refrigerator.

While he was doing so, Ouma pulled the container out of from behind his back, and poured some of the resurrection potion into it. Momota was done quickly, and almost caught the supreme leader in the act. 

"Could I see the potion now?" Momota asked even if it was more of an order, sticking his hand out. Ouma opened his mouth to comment on it but closed it again, obediently handing over the potion.

The astronaut's eyes narrowed in concentration as he poured the resurrection potion into the dead cat's hung-open mouth. In the heat of the moment, he didn't notice only 3/4 of the potion remained.

"Come on," Momota muttered, gaze trapped on the small cat. Ouma, who sat next to him, crossed his fingers as he looked down upon the body.

Minutes passed, and the cat didn't move. Momota still stared, hoping for even one small movement.

"It's not gonna work, Momo-chan," Ouma finally spoke up. "You should put him back in the refrigerator before he starts to rot."

Sighing in defeat, the taller Ultimate stood and began packing everything away. The purple-haired supreme leader watched him do so, seemingly in his own little world.

"Ouma?"

Jumping, Ouma focused on the figure in front of him. Momota was looking down on him, a worried look on his face. Glancing around the room, he realized that Momota had already packed the stuff away. Including his.

"Well it's nice to know the peasant is learning his place," Ouma declared, pushing away his guilt at having done nothing.

Momota rolled his eyes, "Consider it a favor for helping me out with the failed resurrection potions."

"Well don't expect me to start doing this everyday," The smaller boy said, leaving the small lab they'd been in.

The school was dark and Ouma couldn't help but be worried that something bad might happen.

"Slow down!" Momota hissed, "You do realize there will be a punishment if they realize we were here so late!" Ouma just smiled smugly.

"Maybe for you, but I'll be avoiding those consequences."

Ouma took a deep breath as he took a step out of the bushes surrounding hell, aka his home. None of the lights were on, but that didn't mean his parents weren't up.

Rushing forward, Ouma sprinted towards the backdoor, cursing under his breath the whole way due to his fear.

The small boy felt relief flood through his body as he stepped into the tattered house. His room was in the basement so he quickly and easily snuck into it.

His room was in just as bad of state, if not worse, as the rest of the house and there was no bed, so he sat on the floor and stared at the small container in his hand. The failed potion was splashing around due to the sudden movement.

Ultimate Supreme Leader. For an Ultimate Supreme Leader, he sure was a coward. Too afraid to face the world, his parents, or his own mistakes.

As his mind whispered the unspoken thoughts, Ouma found himself taking off the cap to the container.

The plant they used was poisonous. Since it failed, it would be fatal to humans, right?

His arm slowly lifted itself, bringing the poison closer to his mouth.

Hopefully it wouldn't hurt very much.
