[Discontinued] Flowers don't tell lies

She likes me... She likes me not

His mind wondered from topics to pass the time. Lying face up on his bed, Kokichi Ouma (like the rest of the remaining students) was only just recovering from the first -and most recent- execution. Rantaro Amami killed in the Library with a shot put ball by Kaede Akamatsu. From this thought, he realised how it sounded like Cludo -a murder mystery game- however this was real life. During the trial, he tried to sound as confident as he could by name calling other students and making jokes that only he laughed at. Deep down, he was terrified.

Kokichi was stood by Himiko Yumeno and Tenko Chabashira. He caught on to Tenko as she complemented and seemed to treat Himiko like she was a god or something over his head. Himiko always stood out to him. She was a little shorter then him and her attitude towards everyone didn't seem like her own. Like she was putting on a mask. Kokichi was incredibly familiar with this as he always had to put on an act and lie to hide his true feelings. The little Mage was adorable and cute but thanks to his first impression on them all, she would never be his.

Scavenging through his stuff, Kokichi found a few pieces of paper and a pen. He began to scribble down something for Himiko. Everyone had already expressed their hate for him so before he died, he had to tell her.

In the dining hall, everyone was helping Kirumi with the plates and cutlery and thanking her for another incredible dinner. Turning a corner, Kokichi managed to separate Himiko from the rest of the group to give her the letter.

"Kokichi what do you want!? I'm not in the mood to talk to you..." Himiko said in her usual tone. A soft pink brushed onto Kokichi's face. He had to word this right and keep up his fake persona but steadying himself from shaking  with nerves was not easy.
"Well... H-Himiko," he begun stuttering slightly, "Everything that is about to happen will be a secret between us until in day so otherwise! Got it?!"
"Hurry up already! It's getting late and I need to recharge my magical energy."
"Just... Take this and don't say a word!" Kokichi blurted out. He handed the letter to Himiko but it was snatched out of his hands before he could actually give it to her. "You degenerate! Trying to blackmail the amazing Himiko?" Tenko shouted as she ripped up the letter in front of Kokichi.

It was now incredibly difficult to keep up his act. "Y-you've just w-wasted a t-tree Tenk-ko." It was hard for him to finish his sentence with tears rolling down his cheeks. Tenko took Himiko by the hand and kissed her on the cheek while going on about what had just happened. Kokichi stood unmoving. He was practically crying himself a river but that was interpreted by a loud and painful coughing fit. Opening his eyes after a few minutes, he stared at the ground where he had fallen. A small pile of purple flower petals- some clean some coated in blood- lay on the ground as he let out a violent cough.

After that, he must of passed out as he was tucked up in bed with Gonta sat on the edge stroking Kokichi's back. He turned to face Gonta and saw another face. Kiibo was stood looking on at the two. "Gonta?" Kokichi murmured, intentionally leaving out Kiibo "We found you by the dining hall. Let's just say it wasn't a pretty sight." Kiibo said obviously annoyed which made Kokichi smile.
"Gonta thought Kokichi dead." Gonta said lifting Kokichi into his arms
"Yes it was surprising." Kokichi looked up at the two other males who had chosen to accompany him. There was no point keeping up his act when he was like this. "G-Gonta... I don't want to d-die..." Kokichi sobbed for he knew what this was.

Kokichi's one sided love for Himiko had triggered a killing disease.
Hanahaki.
