a new world with you | oumasai

vii

kokichi lamely stumbled back to his dorm, shuichi's words replaying in his mind.

you're alone, kokichi. and always will be.

kokichi grinned and tears started welling up in his eyes. "if only you knew, my beloved saihara-chan."

-

knock, knock

kokichi was awoken by someone knocking on his door. kokichi reluctantly stood up and opened it.

"shuichi?" kokichi stood there, unfazed. "yeah.. can i come in?" shuichi looked guilty. kokichi nodded.

both males set on ouma's bed. "so, why're you here so early?" kokichi rubbed his eyes. "i wanted to.. apologise for yesterday. i really didn't mean what i said!" shuichi looked really tired.

"it's okay if you don't forgive me, i-" shuichi was cut off by kokichi giggling. "of course it's okay, saihara-
chan!" kokichi grinned.

"a-and.. i wanted to say something else," shuichi's face reddened.

"i really like you, kokichi!"

maki's pov

maki was in the dining hall, waiting for kaito to arrive. "heya, maki roll!" she heard someone yell.

"hi, kaito," maki replied plainly. "c'mon, maki roll! cheer up a little!" kaito gave her a thumbs-up.

"do you want to die?" maki shot kaito a glare. "woah, calm down maki roll!" kaito seemed unfazed.

what an idiot, maki thought while smiling to herself.

third person pov

"you..like, me?" kokichi was startled. shuichi shyly nodded. "it's okay if you do-"

shuichi was cut off by a sudden embrace. "i love you too," kokichi whispered into shuichi's ear.

after a minute or so, they both pulled away from the hug. shuichi lamely smiled and kokichi was redder than he had ever been. "hmph.." kokichi mumbled, which made shuichi laugh.

"what's wrong, kichi?" shuichi smiled softly. "this is the part where you kiss me!" kokichi said, his blush deepening. "ah, i've never kissed anyone before.."

"well, i'm flattered to be your first then!" before shuichi could say anything, kokichi pulled him in for a kiss.

it wasn't lust, rough or anything like that. it was soft and gentle.

shuichi slowly pulled away and covered his face with his hands. "nishishi! you're so baaddd at kissing, shumai!"

"e-eh?!" shuichi's blush deepened. "that was a lie, i looovvvveeeee shumai's kisses!" kokichi giggled.

"so, uh, does this mean we're..?" kokichi nodded rapidly. "of course shumai!" kokichi hugged shuichi.

shuichi stood up. "i'm going to the dining hall now, wanna come with me?" kokichi nodded and trotted behind him.

-

"shumai! let's play a game!" kokichi pouted. shuichi had been reading a novel, kokichi poking him or talking every few seconds. shuichi sighed. "okay, what do you want to do?"

shuichi put aside his novel. "weelll, i was thinking that we could have a tea party!" this was an unusual request from the purple-haired male. "ah, a tea party?" kokichi pouted even more.

"heeyy! it's actually pretty fun! trust me, i'm not lying!" shuichi sighed and nodded. "fine, just stop pouting.."  kokichi grinned.

"great! follow me!" kokichi grabbed shuichi's hand and ran. "h-hey! slow down!"

shuichi and kokichi spent five hours hang out. "hey, kokichi?" shuichi started. "hm?"

"do you think we'll be able to escape?" shuichi asked. kokichi's face softened. "of course you will!" was all kokichi could say.

shuichi didn't realise kokichi only said "you".

kokichi's pov

it was only a matter of time left til his plan; to lure out the mastermind. he would act like the mastermind and try to get the real mastermind to slip up.

"hey, shuichi? i'm tirreeeddd, let's call it a day!" kokichi pretended to yawn. "ah, sure thing. want me to carry you to your room?" shuichi looked at kokichi.

"sure!"

after shuichi left kokichi's room, he waited a few minutes before sneaking out. he walked towards miu, the ultimate inventor's lab.

kokichi entered and looked around for the pink objects. he spotted it on a nearby work bench and grabbed it.

kokichi looked around and found a wagon. he put the objects in and dragged it back to his dorm.

"this is for you, shuichi.."

-

"heya, shuichi!" kokichi said as he jumped on him. "ah, hey, kokichi." shuichi smiled. "let's play today, again!" kokichi grinned.

he might've looked cheerful on the outside, but on the inside, he was scared, knowing this one going to be one of his last days on earth. and he wanted to spend his last few days with his most important person.

"of course, kokichi," shuichi agreed.
