Magic! - Oumeno fluff.

Pouty mage

"None of your business." Himiko furrowed her eyebrows at the liar.

"Aww, but I wanna know..." Kokichi's eyes landed upon her blushing face. He knew something was up with her.

After some silence, Himiko had made up her mind. With a sigh, she sat down on the ground and explained that her feelings for Tenko couldn't be fulfilled. The Aikido Master was getting caught up in her training and was super busy. Yumeno knew that Tenko would only get busier.

"Oh. I see." Kokichi got up from his seat and walked over to the pouting girl, only to realise that tears were beginning to brim in her eyes. "Well, if you don't mind, I can tell you about some of my issues." Himiko's eyes met his.

"Nyeh, I guess that's fine... But all this thinking and talking is making me tired..."

"It's all good." Kokichi sat down next to her and stared at the other side of the room, hands fiddling in his lap. "I like Saihara chan. Like, a lot. But him and Kaede are dating now. I feel probably just as bummed as you."

"... You're not lying this time?"

"No."

Upon seeing the truthfully saddened look in Ouma's eyes, Himiko managed to say something rather heartfelt to the boy she had once disliked. Her opinions of him had changed in that moment, after all.

"I'd use my magic to cheer you up... but I'm tired. Really... tired..." Himiko's eyes gently closed and her head slumped. Kokichi nearly burst out in laughter at her sudden slumber.

"Dude, are you the Ultimate Sleeper? I swear you're tired all the time." Kokichi chuckled.

"Sh-Shut up!" Himiko snapped back to reality.

"Neeheehee~" Kokichi stood up, stretching.

"You can go if you want..." Himiko seemed sad that her only company was leaving so soon.

"Nah. This place is boring as hell. You're basically the only person around right now. Wanna do something?" Kokichi suggested, reaching his hand out to the small magician.

Her eyes flickered up to his, and slightly hesitantly, she grabbed his hand. Kokichi smiled as he pulled her up. Putting his hands behind his head once again, he whistled while walking out of the classroom. Himiko waddled close behind.

"Hey, Ouma."

"Yeah?"

"I'd usually ask Gonta this, but he's not around. And you might not be strong enough, but...

Can you give me a piggyback ride?"

Himiko stopped, twiddling her thumbs and looking down at the ground with a flushed face.

Kokichi turned around, clearly surprised at the request. But, she seemed so sad, and if she was able to surprise him by asking that... doing so might not be so boring after all.

"Hm, fine."

"N-Nyeh... really??"

"Don't sound so surprised. You were the one that asked, stupid head." Kokichi teased with a small tint of pink in his face as he crouched down. "Ready?"

"Yep!" Himiko said enthusiastically. She hadn't sounded so happy since Tenko was around...

"Nnn...yeh!" She hopped on, her arms wrapping around his neck.

"Guh... Man, I haven't given a piggyback in ages..." Kokichi slowly rose to his feet again, his arms sliding underneath Himiko's legs for support.
