"Don't touch me. Don't even look at me. You took years of my life away. I'll never get those back." Shuichi said to me, deadpan.

"Haha, whaaaat?" I laugh nervously. This is coming out of nowhere.

"You're a sick bastard, you know that?" Shuichi sounds angrier now. He approaches me with his fists clenched, taking slow steps. I find myself backing up on instinct.

"What...?" I murmur, my persona I put on failing.

"You know, I didn't think you could be even more of a shithead, but I guess I was wrong!" He laughs, running a hand through his black hair.

"Oooh how the tables have turned! You're the one lying now, huh?" I try and rationalize it like that.

"Nope. You've done nothing but make my life a living hell." He slams me against the wall, pushing my shoulders painfully. I try and squirm out, but to no avail. 

"I deserve so much better than you." He whispers in my ear. I feel my heart stop beating, literally. That's my worst fear. Him realizing... that he is so much better than me. I start screaming.

Suddenly I'm in bed, sheets dangled around me. 

"Ahhhh!!!!" Shuichi shouts from next to me, springing up and looking around.

"Kokichi! Are you okay??" He glances around the room, looking for an intruder. 

"Yeah, yeah. Just a nightmare." I recover quickly, and lay back down. My heart is still thumping loudly.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Shuichi says, yawning. He lays back down and wraps his arms around me and squeezes tight.

His warm arms are comforting, and the feeling of his head on the back of my neck calms me. 

"Nah. Just... stay here with me."

"I'll always stay here with you."
