Kokichi? {Oumasai/Saiouma} {HIATUS}

-12-

"Open up," Shuichi said holding out some food in between his chopsticks. Kokichi giggled and slowly moved closer to eat the food Shuichi was holding out for him.

It was nice to just be the two of them there super close to each other. Warmth in the others embrace and warmth from the presence of the other. Kokichi smiled at Shuichi as he was eating the food.

Shuichi knew that Kokichi has trouble feeling hungry or even allowing himself to eat sometimes...so he has learned that sometimes feeding him is the best option. Because sometimes when you see yourself doing something to help you it makes you feel horrible and selfish...but having someone else do it makes it seem better in a way.

"Thanks, Shuichi," Kokichi said twisting his hair around his finger as he buried his head into his neck. This was mostly because he was cold but also because he felt a little nervous about being honest again.

"Of course, anything for you Kokichi," Shuichi knew Kokichi meant to say more but didn't want to expose himself or be super vulnerable...especially in the place they were in...

"Hmm," Kokichi hummed into his chest as he felt himself relax again. Shuichi didn't say anything he just let Kokichi rest for the rest of lunch. He could tell he was a little tired from not sleeping much last night...and he knew he would want to take a nap later in his lab.

"Kichi, we can go to your lab so you can take a nap," Shuichi said slowly pulling Kokichi to his feet. But Kokichi being as tired as he was he just slumped against Shuichi.

Shuichi smiled down at him and packed up the bento box before pulling his and Kokichi's backpacks onto his back. He didn't mind carrying Kokichi and to be honest, most people didn't even really care if they saw them together like this. Because Kokichi is very open about their relationship and people just get used to it.

He walked through the semi-crowded halls before getting to Kokichi's lab. Walking through the door and closing all the chatter out made the whole room seem calmer. It was quiet and a perfect place for Kokichi to take a nap.

Not that Kokichi can't take naps in louder places. He can sometimes it all depends on how tired he is.

One time he fell asleep on Shuichi's shoulder when they were at a festival. There were super loud fireworks going off while people were screaming and yelling, but he was so tired he was out in a matter of seconds.

"Kichi, we got here," Shuichi knew Kokichi couldn't hear him but he thought he should tell him anyway. He brought him over to one of the couches in the room and pulled him into his lap.

Kokichi was quietly snoring into his chest while Shuichi was reading a book while he was holding Kokichi. He needed to get things for the project ready...it would be best to be ready.

The group work in class wasn't the worst...but it was tiresome. Shuichi was tired as well from the busy work and group work they had to do. He needed some rest as well...

Maybe getting some rest before our date would be good...

Shuichi thought to himself before he placed the bookmark of his book in the crease of the pages. He laid Kokichi down with himself on the couch and held him close. Feeling content just listening to his calm breathing.

He let himself fall asleep with Kokichi on the couch. Shuichi wasn't that worried if someone came in and found them because anyone here wouldn't care that much and even if they did...they would understand why they were so tired.

. . .

"Hey Shumai~, I feel better and well-rested now~," Shuichi felt Kokichi like his cheek making his eyes flutter open.

He felt tired but not as tired as before...I mean Kokichi does call him the Ultimate tired sometimes. It is a case of being sad but true...

"That's great," Shuichi whispered rubbing his eyes as Kokichi jumped up and walked over to his desk. He didn't have much homework but he did want to make more plans for DICE so when they needed a job he could give them one.

"I'm going to be working on these until school ends, ok?" Shuichi just gave him a nod and went back into his book.

Kokichi loves working on plans for jobs. Shuichi knows that better than anyone. He also knows that he is really good at leading others, I mean that's a given because of his talent.

"Ok, if we do this one we need to make sure to- there!" He exclaimed finishing what he was working on. He looked back at Shuichi who ditched his reading and was now walking over to him.

"Shuichi?" He asked only to be cut off by the bell.

He smiled at Shuichi knowing he was watching the clock and he knew that school was going to end soon. Kokichi admired how organized and how perceptive Shuichi is.

He is always seeing things other people don't. He can always tell when Kokichi is lying and always knows when he needs something. It's genuinely surprised Kokichi a lot of the time.

"Well, best to get going then," Shuichi said already packed up and ready to go.

"Ok, one sec!" Kokichi said quickly shoving things into his back before joining Shuichi by the door. He grabbed Shuichi's hand and they exited the door together letting the chatter fill their ears again.

Students were flowing through the halls making it full of chatter and more energy. Shuichi didn't like being around this many people but this was right up Kokichi's lane.

"Hey, Nagito!" Kokichi yelled over to him and Hajime. He waved them over making them slowly make their way over to them.

"Ah, Kokichi, how are you doing?" Nagito asked nervously scratching the back of his neck.

Nagito and Hajime were in a different class than Shuichi and Kokichi were so they didn't see each other that much. But Kokichi tried to talk to them as much as he could because they were good friends of his.

"Well same old same old you know," He shrugged his shoulders playfully making Nagito and Hajime giggle a bit.

"That's good, I guess?" Nagito asked feeling his hand start to shake before Hajime grabbed his hand holding it in his own.

"Well yeah! And now I get to talk to you guys!!" He exclaimed hugging Nagito making him flinch before he relaxed and hugged him back after a moment.
