Originally I was going to rewrite this on ao3 and cross-post but I decided since you all have been waiting for so long I'd rewrite it all on here first!


[QWQ]

IM SO SORRY FOR THE WAITewkjfhgv!!!!

It's been a long time coming after all so I hope it was up to your expectations.
The characters may be ooc since I haven't watched the show
or played or seen anyone play the game in a long while.

Also,
My writing style has changed a lot since 2019
but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!

Maki Thought to herself why am I here and why does it have to be so quiet surely we are still on the school grounds- right? She was just there looking slightly at the purple-haired boy sitting and sulking in silence in the corner tossing his body back and forth. She decides to reach over to him and see what the problem is, curious. But she also thinks she should at least try to act like the "Ultimate Child caretaker." Tapping Kokichi's shoulder which makes him flinch.

"Hey, Kokichi what's wrong with you? Where's the grin on your face." She says monotonely before chuckling darkly, pitying the other who wouldn't look at her. "Scared?" Maki asked amused and sarcastic. She chuckles awkwardly being met with silence. Kokichi still wasn't looking at her. It pissed her off more.

Kokichi felt claustrophobic. This room felt so tiny all of a sudden. His throat felt parched and his head hurt. He was stuck in this closed space with the one person who hates him the most possibly out of everyone in this twisted game.

When she scoots toward him and asks him what's wrong he froze like an idiot. Glancing behind him he stays still, not meeting her eyes. Her dark eyes. And that frown of hers. Wanting to focus on anything he flinches away from her, scooting himself away. Instead, he focuses on his heartbeat and then the camera in the corner of the room.

They were being watched. Certainly, they were... They had to be. But by who? Monokuma? The others? No. No. They couldn't be the ones doing this. Monokuma must be torturing them with a new method. He bets the others might even be in the same situation. He smirks. Yeah. That's right. He was just saying this though. In reality, he had no idea if that was true but it's the only thing he could believe. and I decided to answer her with a lie "N-Nishishi~ What are you talking about I'm just trying to keep calm and not surprised?" He still shaking had then been just staring at Maki hoping she would just go back to her side of the tiny room and eventually she did. He sighed in relief and noticed that Maki's eyes glistened in some way he noticed his face start to heat up so he covered his face so the heat would go away.

A few minutes later. They both looked at each other. Maki on one side and Kokichi on the other they both had a different stare. Maki's terrifyingly serious stare bore into the head of his, and all over his body for some reason, while Kokichi's face was fearful but also annoyed, a small vein or tick on the top of his forehead, the staring made him all flustered.

Eventually, their staring had stopped and Maki had begun to tap on the walls for whatever reason. While Kokichi tried to hide the fact he was panicking, a hand covering his large "mischievous" grin which was fake of course. Only put up to pretend as if he wasn't on alert at all. Or like afraid of the room or Maki.

Why did it have to be her? Why her and him? Of all the people. He rather die than be here right now. It would be better if he had died early on! He pouts.

Kokichi sat in his corner not bothering anyone. Maki minding her own business, probably in deep thought also.

He had just sat there waiting for something to happen. Attempting to think of something to say. But nothing. What could the magnificent liar say? What spin of lies could be spread? Here they could be proven to be lies. He had no idea what was going on after all. This wasn't a trial. 'Did they want us to kill each other or maybe even ourselves?' Kokichi thought to himself, he hummed uncertainly. It was a possibility.
