Truth and Lies

Three Little Words

I got this idea after I got my wisdom teeth out. When I was drugged, I was actually really quiet and sleepy. So I'm gonna spice things up in this one

Hello, this is me after finishing. I rewrote this so many times with different scenarios and it still turned out crappy, so don't be surprised if it feels stupid. I thought I'd be able to write a simple oneshot where Kokichi got his wisdom teeth out and confessed his love for Shuichi, but I underestimated my thought process. Please let me know what you thought of this

Kokichi's POV

"Please, Amami-chan!" I asked the green-haired male across the table from me.

At the moment, I was sitting in a McDonald's with my childhood friend, Rantaro Amami. Rantaro led a busy life and I was in a relationship, but we always made time once a month to meet up. It just so happened that I was meeting up with Rantaro the day before I had to get my wisdom teeth out.

The male laughed and shook his head, taking a sip of his drink. "Did you forget why we have to make time to meet up like this? I'm too busy with traveling and modeling. I have to catch a flight to Europe right after you get out of the procedure."

I grumbled and flopped back in my booth seat. He was right, he wouldn't be able to take me home and I'd be too dazed to drive myself. Which only leaves him. Why did my wisdom teeth have to come in later in life?

"Why not ask Saihara? You guys live together and I'm sure he can take time off work to care for you." I crossed my arms and looked away from him. "Kokichi?" "I just-" I cut myself off and sighed, feeling myself blush from embarrassment.

"I don't know what will happen after. Like, what I'll do, what I'll say." Rantaro smirked. "What, are you afraid you'll confess your love for him?" I shrunk in my seat and nodded, which made the other male stop smirking.

"We haven't even told each other the L-word." Rantaro's eyes widened. "You guys have been together for seven months and you still haven't said it?" I blushed harder and nodded. "You know how I am. I have trust issues and I'm scared of commitment. I don't know what'll happen down the road from now."

Rantaro looked at me, understanding what I was saying. "I may not be in a relationship, but I do understand. All I'm saying is you shouldn't be scared." He leaned on the table and smiled. "Shuichi has been with you this long. He might be the one."

I looked at the table and thought about it. Shuichi was the first person to see through my lies and even after he found out about my past and all my baggage, he stayed by my side. The fact he knew all that before we said those three little words says a lot about my character.

Maybe Rantaro was right. Maybe Shuichi and I were meant to be.

Rantaro looked at his watch and jumped out of his seat. "Crap, I have to get going, I have a meeting with the director in 25 minutes. Think you can clean up?" I nodded and he thanked me before running out the door. After I cleaned up the table, I took the subway home, stopping by the store to get enough food I could eat after getting my teeth out. As I walked to my shared house, I began thinking.

Maybe I would be too sleepy afterward to do anything. I knew a girl back in high school who got her wisdom teeth out and she was quiet and too sleepy. She didn't do anything embarrassing, she said. I hope I'm the same way.

I unlocked the door and walked in, taking off my shoes. "I'm home!" I yelled, walking down the hall to Shuichi's office. The door was open and I saw Shuichi asleep on the desk, paperwork scattered under his arms. I rolled my eyes and walked in, kissing him on the head. The kiss made him stir a bit and he opened his eyes, yawning.
