(Sorry i haven't updated it in so long! I'm not doing the best right now and i kinda lost motivation sorry)
Kokichis pov
We came out of shuichi's room but i couldn't stop shaking. I know shuichi said they weren't bad but I just couldn't keep calm. I was holding onto shuichi's jacket tightly and he just rested his arm on my head, rubbing it slightly while pulling me forward gently.
"W-what if-"
"it'll be ok kokichi, I promise"
I had been asking what if questions like 'whats if they hit me again. What if they don't believe us. What if they start hating you' etc. I don't mind anything that happens to me but i don't wanna mess anything up with shichi or cause him problems. We kept walking and the closer we got the more nervous I became.
After a while we finally reached the cafeteria doors and I held onto shuichi tighter while starting to breath heavily. He gave me a minute to calm down but after a little bit he opened the doors and pushed me inside with him behind. As soon as I was in the room everyone started looking at me. I teared up and ran behind shuichi shaking and holding onto him again. The room was dead quiet except for the sound of me quietly crying and shuichi trying to calm me down with words. He tried his best to calm me down by hugging me tightly and rubbing circles on my back but it didn't help all that much.
I hated this....i don't wanna do this...i just wanna be with shuichi and that's it.
"Please everyone...just please let me explain before you start hating him or hit him again.." shuichi said while still hugging me but looking at the others now. I saw miu nudge kaito with her elbow while whispering.
"He's talking about you shit head" maki glared at miu while himiko and kiibo tried to hold back a laugh. That kinda eased the tension a bit but I just couldn't stop crying. I was closing my eyes tightly because I was just wishing I would magically be out of this situation. I would have kept them closed until it was over but I felt shuichi let go of me. I opened my eyes only to see a girl kneeling in front of me. She had long blue hair and glasses. I think her name was tsumugi but i'm not completely sure.
"Hello! My name tsumugi shirogane and i'm not gonna hurt you so don't be afraid!" She smiled at me but I slightly inched backwards. My tears aren't going away either. I started crying more and I was on the verge of hyperventilating. I don't know what it was but this girl had a scary feeling to her.
I was breathing harshly and she along with everyone else noticed which caused her to back
up.
"H-h-h-" I couldn't talk. All I could do was cover my face and cry. A few seconds passed before I heard someone get up and I felt my body lift off the ground. I quickly looked at who had picked me up and I saw gonta...
"AHHH!! IM SORRY!!! I'M SO SORRY PLEASE DONT HURT ME!!!" I covered my head with my hands out of habit but surprisingly I didn't feel any pain. He's not gonna hit me..?
"Gonta would never hurt you! Gonta is gentleman and gentleman protects people!"
Shuichi was right...i have to remember that these aren't the people i used to know. They are different so i need to calm down...
I uncovered my head and put my hands down.
"Y-your really not gonna hurt me..?"
"Gonta promises! gonta would never hurt anyone!" I started smiling slightly and so did he. Maybe i don't have to be afraid...
"C-could you let me go please..." i had nothing against him holding me if he promises he wouldn't hurt me but still...i was still scared of him.
"Of course!" he then slowly put me down and I instantly ran back to shuichi and hugged him tightly, not letting go at all. He hugged me back and didn't let go either.
I heard him whisper "good job" which made me smile and hug him tighter. Maybe I can trust these people just like I trust shuichi...
