Kokichi x Reader Live, Laugh, Lie

Chapter 15: More Motive

Trigger Warning Homophobia, Physical and Mental Abuse and Death.

Ryoma hid his face behind his hat while offering a weak, embarrassed smile to the others at the table. Gonta, on the other hand, smiled brightly with one hand giving a thumbs up and the other was wrapped around the small tennis player. You felt an odd feeling. The feeling of being watched. You whipped your head around and met the gaze of Shuichi. His eyes were filled with such anger, such hatred. He noticed you staring back at him and returned to his usual shy smile before looking away. You had never such sheer anger on anyone's face, nevermind Shuichi's. He was usually so shy and timid but something about him felt off. I wonder what I did to upset him.

The rest of lunch was quite pleasant. Everyone seemed kind of relaxed. The room was filled with quiet chatters. Now that it was in the open air you spent most of lunch with one arm wrapped around the small, purple-haired boy beside you. He was so small and fragile. So cute. The only other notable thing that happened during lunch was Shuichi. He constantly gave you dirty looks though you didn't know why. Whenever he wasn't glaring at you his gaze was fixed onto Kokichi. Every time he did so you squeezed a bit tighter around him. Shuichi was kinda scaring you. 

Eventually you clocked what was going on. Shuichi was either strongly opposed to homosexuality or he had a massive crush on Kokichi. The second one seemed way more plausible however as whenever he stared at Kokichi, it wasn't a glare filled with hatred, rather a longing stare, a hopeful one.

Eventually, everyone finished what assortment of food they had on their plate and left. The only people still in the room were yourself, Kokichi and Kirumi who was off cleaning in the corner. You had both finished eating almost an hour ago, now you were enjoying each others company. Eventually you two decided that you would have a Disney movie marathon on your first date. The first time you were in the A/V room you had spotted a plethora of great Disney films ranging from Tangled to Aladdin to The Lion King. They even had Emporer's new groove, a personal favourite of yours. You know had the knowledge that despite Kokichi's outer personality, he was a big scaredy-cat. So cute!

While on your way to the A/V room one of the monitors hanging from the ceiling in the hallway flicked on and Monokuma's face appeared on the screen. He was visibly angry.

"It seems that you kids have tried to steal my thunder. To get back at you all for ruining my motive reveal, I am making a new motive... sort of. Everybody, please return to your room. You will find the name of one of your classmates in your rooms. Whoever's name is in your room is paired with you during this motive. If one of you is executed the other is also executed. If one of you escapes the other escapes. Since there's fifteen of you there is one group of three. Throughout this motive, the pairs must sleep in the same rooms except for the trio. Oh, and if you tell anyone who you're paired with you both die. The thing about one person from each dying is still in effect after three days so get on with the killing."

Wow, that was a long explanation from Monokuma, something he would never do over the monitors, very out of character.

The two of you continued on with the movie marathon as this new addition didn't really affect you. It was a great time. The highlight was, of course, Emporer's New Groove but that's not really a surprise. The final film on the list was The Lion King and it had just finished. It was at least two hours past the night time announcement. You had been watching movies for the best part of 8 hours. You didn't even stop for dinner, instead, eating the snacks Kokichi brought from the kitchen. It seemed all right but now, while staring at an energized Kokichi running around the room in joy you realised it was a bad idea. Usually, at this point in the day, Kokichi would be half asleep, or fully asleep. I guess I should've checked how much he had, huh?
