A/N: This is an unfinished oneshot, just a little scrap. I have no ideas how to continue this.

Should I try to finish it or work on something else? :/

Ultimate talent: Liar

Known as a prankster, trickster and an unpredictable person that can change their mood in the split of a second.

"I know you're lying, (F/N)-chan." He said and grinned happily, putting his hands behind his hand. His eyes narrowed as he stared you up and down. It was one of his usual poses, he tried to look confident even though you knew it bothered him. You almost cackled at how in-character it was for him.

"Oh, but am I really?" You batted your lashes at him with a playful smirk on your face. Kokichi's grin never fell, but you knew how unsure he was at the moment. He didn't let his facade fall - whatever game you two were playing, he had to win.

Kokichi was beyond confused by you and your lying skills. He couldn't tell if you were lying or not and it was stressing him out. He remembered your first meeting - you were acting so kindly and lovingly towards him. He thought you'd be just as boring as everyone else, but he was wrong. It was all an act to hide your true self and as time went on, you revealed yourself to him.

"I can tell~!" He told you untruthfully. He was only guessing. You were standing still, no movements or expressions of yours seemed suspicious. Were you saying the truth or were you trying to trick him? He did not know and it was making him nervous. It made him wonder if this was how others felt when he was lying to them.

But, of course he wouldn't show his true feelings to you. He was a liar as well, a good one. You could see right through him, but he was oblivious to that.

"Why would I lie about such a thing? What do you think are my reasons?" You asked him and noticed a drop of sweat rolling down his forehead. His eyes widened before he switched it into a relaxed expression. But that was just an act.

'She's good...'

"Hm, let's see..." He started, moving his index finger to his mouth in a thinking manner. He stayed quiet for a while and you could tell he was panicking on the inside. While you could read him like a book, he couldn't figure you out in the slightest. "To trick me~? To show that you're a better liar than the Ultimate Leader himself~?"

You let out a quiet laugh which echoed through the long empty hallway. Kokichi tried not to let it affect him, but it did make him feel less confident. As much as he tried to hide it, you could see his confidence lower by the second. "Wrong."

"..." He wasn't used to be treated like this. It's as if you two switched places. You were the one making fun of him, constantly drowning him in lies, puns, jokes and psychological facts and speeches. He did not like that. You were enjoying yourself, but he wasn't. He couldn't.

"You have no idea, do you?" You put on one of your brightest smiles as you teased him. You thought it would be no fun since he knew your ultimate talent, but you were wrong. This was way more entertaining than it was when you were 'The Ultimate Lucky Student'.

"(F/N)-chan is so meeeaaaan!" He whined, fake tears falling down his chin and his fists curled up. You guessed he was out of ideas, so he switched to crying. You didn't fall for it, you didn't feel guilty for making him feel this way.

'How entertaining.'

"It seems that not even your skills can compare to mine, Ouma. Truly disappointing." You shook your head in disbelief, a cheshire grin making its way on your face once you saw his expression. "As long as I'm around, you'll always be number two."

You stepped closer to him and pat his head before walking around him and leaving him alone with his thoughts. You felt proud of yourself, maybe even amused while Kokichi was biting his nails out of frustration.

"Saihara-chan." Shuichi tore his eyes away from the pages of his favourite book. He did not want to - he was just starting to enjoy himself. The killing game was stressful and he felt like reading was the only thing that could help him relax, but he knew he had to help others too. He looked up from his book, closing it and sliding his slim fingers across the red cover.

"Yes, Kokichi?" He was not surprised it was Kokichi - the shorter male often visited him. Shuichi couldn't say he liked his presence, but he could tolerate it most of the time. He also had to make sure he didn't hurt anyone - he wanted to help everyone escape.

Kokichi didn't say a word, continuing to glare at Shuichi. The bluenette was starting to get nervous under his intense stare.

'W-What is he staring at?' He faced away and coughed, droning a question in his head before opening his mouth to speak. However, he was quickly interrupted by Kokichi.

"I need your help." He said seriously, his eyes never blinking. He was standing still like a statue, the only movements were his mouth opening and closing. Shuichi wondered why he acted this way - this wasn't like him at all. His usual self would steal Shuichi's book from him and make a few comments about Shuichi being boring.

"With w-what exactly?" Shuichi asked quickly, mentally cursing himself for stuttering. Kokichi closed his eyes before opening them with a visible smirk that replaced his pokerface.
