What if it Repeated? (Oumasai/Saiouma)

Chapter 6- 2/2

Back to Shuuichi's POV

he took the stairs 2 at a time. He had done it! He had actually prevented Miu from going through with her plan and had even got her to apologise. He finally made it to the top out of breath. He pushed open the door and his eyes fell on Kokichi. He had expected Kokichi to be standing, a little tense, but hopefully fine once he saw Shuuichi. But that wasn't how it was. His heart stopped in his chest and his ears were filled with a piecing ringing. He rushed over, falling to his knees. Kokichi groaned and clutched onto him, his eyes streaming. There was no doubting that Kokichi was in immense pain, but from what?
"W-what's happening?!" He stammered, he didn't know what to do, if he tried to move him would it make it worse? Kokichi coughed and winced, curling further up into a ball.

"We both... knew t-this would happen... Tsumugi got her revenge... hah." His voice was weak and was barely audible.
"No. Why?..." his voice broke on the second word and he put a hand on Kokichi's head and stroked his hair gently. "This isn't fair. It should've been me, I brought you into this..." Kokichi gripped his hand and squeezed it weakly,
"Don't... I wouldn't have w-wanted it any other way if I didn't get to meet you." He smiled, but it quickly faded into more of a grimace of pain. Shuuichi felt his throat tighten, he went to stand up, he had to get to Kokichi in the real world. Whatever was wrong with him was because something in the real world had triggered it. If he could just get to him and help...

"Please don't go!" Shuuichi looked back alarmed, Kokichi's face was desperate and his eyes were filled with tears. "I don't want to d-die alone..." His voice was shaky and he looked absolutely petrified. Shuuichi couldn't hold it in any longer. Tears stung his face, drawing lines down it in large arches. He collapsed back down and cupped Kokichi's face gently in his hand.
"I can't do this without you..."

"Shuuichi?" The boy's eyes were riddled with worry. He reached a hand up to his face and wiped a tear that was threatening to fall away, "crying w-won't solve a-anything..."he choked as a tear rolled down his own face, "you have end this... one way o-or another," he paused coughing once again, "even i-if this wasn't a good ending, I still h-had fun with you Shuuichi. I-i lo..." He saw Kokichi's eyes begin to unfocus and the hand that he had reached up fell, landing in a heap on top of him. Shuuchi couldn't believe it. He pulled the boy closer into him and hugged him tightly, sobbing helplessly into the lifeless shoulder.

Kokichi. He was actually gone. The boy who he had grown so used to having by his side- taunting him, teasing and laughing with him- was no longer with him.
"I'll get her for this. Tsumugi is going to pay for what she did to you." He layed Kokichi down gently on the ground. He didn't want to leave him here, but his real body was in the real world and he needed to find evidence to prove what Tsumugi had done.
"I love you, Kokichi..." he gave one last look at the body and ripped his eyes away for the last time.

AN: this is a shorter part cos I wanted to keep Kokichi's part in the other half of the chapter so sorry about that :)
