Profound Consequences~ Oumasai

Blind Defence

Shuichi's POV

I returned to my room after a boring and somehow exhausting day. I changes and crawled into bed. Embarrassingly, I snatched a pillow from the other side and wrapped my arms around it. I've slept like that ever since I was little and it's always just felt comforting. The pillow conformed to my arms and it's cool softness melted the world away. I drifted off into sleep with one thought ringing through my head: Who is the real Kokichi Oma? before the world turned black. ""-the innocent sleep, Sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care, The death of each day's life, sore labor's bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Chief nourisher in life's feast."*

Cutos if you got my reference, I realize its a bit obscure for my audience

Kokichi's POV

The night announcement sounded. I put on my pajamas and crawled into bed. I couldn't sleep though. The lies I had told throughout the day resounded in my skull, pushing it to crack. Why did I have to go and blow it forever with Shuichi? All I could think was "Sleep no more! Kokichi does murder sleep."**

You guys see what I did there? Neeheehee

Shuichi's POV

Something rustled in my room and my eyes snapped open. It was pitch. All I heard were voices-

"No, this one! I'm sure!"

"I-THINK-IT-IS-THIS-ONE"

"I forgot already."

Someone coming to kill me? Probably. What was I to do though? It's dark, I can't see, and I don't know who my attacker even is. It seems best to leave them to their confusion ri-

I didn't even finish my thought as my tired body demanded I fall back asleep.

Kokichi's POV

Something crashed to the floor in the middle of the night. Without any conscious thought, I turned the lights on and saw all four Monokubs, IN MY ROOM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING HERE!!

"What do want?" I asked

"Mr. Kokichi... this is for you." Monophanie handed me an object before the monokubs disappeared. 

The device looked like a Monopad, but was labeled Kubspad. as I picked it up, a video began to play. Monokuma's voice sounded from the pad's small speakers. "Back by popular demand, the motive video! Who's the most important person in YOUR life? And now, without further ado, Kokichi Oma, the ultimate supreme leader...." He went on to spill the details of my secret organization... but I wouldn't tell you any of that. 

The next morning...

I walked to the dining hall for breakfast. I was still worried sick about DICE, but also very curious about the motives of the other students. Were they enough to kill for?

After that morning...

No way they said. It's not a good idea. I'll show them. I will. They operate on the basis 'ignorance is bliss.' They have a point. But what if I wasn't the only one who got my own video? They may be protecting themselves more, but they created a blind defense, relying on a blind offense.

Shuichi's POV

Kokichi. That little purple haired sneaky bastard. How could he arm his peers with the power to kill.

But how did he seem so happy while he was losing? Was it a lie? It enthralled me. Everything about the boy did. That crazy kid. That cute- what the heck? What the heck? Where did that come from. Do I... like Kokichi Oma? KOKICHI OMA? no way.

How can I like someone I don't even really know? He could attack me from any angle. Make me love him in ways I'll never forsee. My defense is entirely blind.
