~~~~~~~~

  Kokichi was waiting under the tree farthest from the school stairs, waiting for his beloved to join him. Normally Shuichi would be there before Kokichi since his class let out five minutes before his, however, Shuichi wasn't there yet. Kokichi thought it was just because the teacher was holding them for some reason, but as five minutes passed, ten, then fifteen, Kokichi began to grow more and more concerned.

  The navy haired detective had stopped cutting, but was distancing himself more and more from the Ultimate Supreme Leader. Unease began to worm its way to life in the pit of Kokichi stomach as Kokichi started pacing under the tree, his eyes glancing at the door every few seconds.

  Almost on instinct, as if the smaller knew something was deathly wrong, Kokichi ran back into the school and made his way to the school stairs. You're imagining things, Shuichi is fine. He tried convincing himself as he climbed to the top level, finding the roof stairs unlocked. Shuichi must have paid attention when Kokichi taught him lockpicking, something the liar now deeply regretted. Pushing the door open, heart nearly ready to leap out of his chest, he saw the navy haired boy standing on the edge of the roof. Kokicki hesitantly walked over to him, finding that the detective was on the other side of the railing.

  "S-Shuichi? W-what are you doing?" Kokichi asked quietly, reaching out to grab his arm and pull him away from the edge.

  The taller turned, surprised, "Guess I took too long, huh?"

  Kokichi felt tears rise to his eyes, "What were you doing?"

  "Trying to die..." Shuichi whispered, looking away from the purpled hair male.

  Kokichi pulled him closer to the railing, away from the edge. The railing the only thing which separated the pair.

  "D-don't... please, I-I need you..." Kokichi murmured as he admitted the truth. He couldn't live without Shuichi. I was selfish, he knew, trying to keep Shuichi alive and by his side.

  "I-it hurts..." Shuichi whispered, "I want it to stop."

  Shivers raced down Kokichi arms, making the hairs stand on end.

  "Please..." Kokichi whispered again, "I love you, I can't live without you, Shuichi."

  Shuichi smiled, pressing a kiss to Kokichi's forehead, "I love you too... But, I'm a burden to you..."

  "No!" Kokichi yelled, clinging tighter to his beloved, "Please, don't leave me!"

  Tears began to stream down his face, dampening Shuichi's jacket as the navy head pulled his fingers gently through his hair.

  "It's okay, Kokichi." Shuichi smiled, hugging him, "I'll be okay..."

  "S-so, you're going to s-stay?" Kokichi stuttered, relieved.

  "No." Shuichi's voice was still warm, as if he was saying the opposite.

  "W-why?"

  "It'll make me feel better..."

  "And I can't?! Don't you trust me? Don't you love me?"

  "Of course I do!" Shuichi snapped, appalled by the idea.

  "Then why are you leaving me?!" Kokichi cried.

  Shuichi was silent for a few minutes, continuing to comfort the crying leader in his arms. Kokichi almost never showed how he really felt, something Shuichi admired him for.

  "I-if you fall... I... I'll go with you." Kokichi threatened, climbing over the railing.

  "Kokichi, no!" Shuichi's eyes widened.

  "Why not? You're going to jump no matter what I say, so now, I'm going to jump no matter what you say." Kokichi huffed, wiping his eyes on his sleeve.

  "Don't, you need to live!" Shuichi insisted, grabbing Kokichi and pulling him closer so that their chests were pressed against each other as they looked into the other's eyes. Purple meeting gold.

  "My life's not worth living without you, that's the truth." Kokichi growled, averting his eyes.

  "I can't live in this life anymore, Ko." Shuichi whispered, using his hand to angle his head back at him.

  "Then leave your family! I know what they do to you, live with me! Stay with me..." Kokichi insisted.

  Shuichi hesitated for a moment, looking from the edge of the roof to Kokichi and back again. Kokichi heart thundered against his ribcage, would the navy haired boy in front of him merely smile, release him, and jump anyway? Even if he did, Kokichi would follow him. Or would Shuichi chose to stay with him?

  "Alright, I'll stay... with you..." Shuichi blushed when he said this.

  Kokichi eyes glowed as he jumped up to kiss the detective, wrapping his arms around the taller's neck, extreme relief lifted his body as if he could float. .

  "I'll protect you, my beloved~" Kokichi promised, leading Shuichi away from the edge, and back down the stairs.

~~~~~~~~

  A close suicide, luckily Kokichi was able to rescue the poor thing. Anyway I hope you enjoyed. There might be two more parts to this story. Bye~onara!
