Our Little Secret

Confrontation and Comfort

                             (Ouma POV)

"Himiko?" I walk into Himiko's room, uninvited. Before entering I look and make sure nobody is watching me and walk in and close the door. The room was dark, only filled with the quiet sound of a cry. I turn the lights on, revealing a sobbing Himiko. I slowly walk over to her bed, half way there she says," What do you w-want K-Kokichi?" I stop and look down," I'm sorry about Tenko and Angie. I-" She lifts her head up and looks at me with tear filled eyes," You?" I continue walking towards her," I know you cared a lot about them. They were your friends after all." She looks up at me and wipes her eyes," Yeah, but your my friend too..!" Really? Am I really her friend? Maybe she's just saying it to make me feel better? I sit on the edge of her bed and look at Himiko," I know they're watching you, you have to live for them." Himiko looks down," I'll try my best. For Tenko and Angie..!" I watch the tears still stream down her face. I take my hand and wipe her tears,"It's okay now, after the trial, you can try to be at peace again." Himiko looks at me again, but she's smiling. "I just realized you have a whole different side to you." I feel my face get red," I-Um well, yeah.. sometimes when I care a lot about someone I can be a bit nicer.." Himiko tilts her head, curious," Himiko grabs her hair pin, but drops it. I lean down and pick it up, she goes to take it but I put it in her hair for her. Her hair is so soft, and beautiful, that's a sentence I never thought I'd say especially about Himiko. She looks down," Thanks." I look away," Oh! You're welcome!" I got to get up," I-I should probably go find Shuichi now-" As soon as I begin to get up she grabbed my hand and pulled me back down, she had a smirk on her face," Do you have a crush on Shuichi?" Shuichi? Do I have a crush on Shuichi? No, I feel the same way about him that I did Rantaro, just someone I can trust and talk to. I laugh a little," No, why?" Her face gets a little red," O-oh! Well you two just seem so close!" She laughs awkwardly," Do you like anyone here?" She looks at me, questioning. I smirk," I dunno, do you?" Her eyes softened and she smiled a little," I-I think so.." She "thinks" so, most likely that's a yes. I smile," Oo~! Who is it~" Her face becomes bright red," Uh-Uhm, none of your business!" I smirk," Oh c'mon! I won't tell anyone!" Himiko looks away," Lies!" I get close to her face and smile, I can feel the heat of her face," I would never lie to you.." We stare at each other in silence for a few seconds," I'll tell you who I like if you tell me yours." She looks away, waiting for a response. Who do I like? I look at Himiko, what a cute face, beautiful eyes and hair, do I like Himiko? I sigh," Deal. I promise. No lies." She sighs as well," Well, who is it?" I look at her and get close to her face again, should I really tell her? I sigh," I like—" I'm interrupted by Monokuma's annoying voice," Time for the Class Trial!" I decide to put my facade back, I back away from Himiko's face," Hmm, oh well maybe later! Nishishi!" I fix Himiko hair and dry a final tear from her eye," Let's see who killed the ones you loved." I walk out her door, and motion for her to follow.
