Can we Make It?

-20-

"We are going to have to give you some stitches...some of the cuts are deep...we can numb it before but...it's still going to hurt..." Kokichi looked up at me when Maki told home what was going to happen. I looked at him with fear in my eyes.

He could have died out there

I'm so glad he made it back here alive

I don't know what I would have done if-

I felt so nervous I felt my hands start to shake. I was trying to be strong for Kokichi...but I couldn't help being this worried about him...about my boyfriend...my Kichi...

"Ok, thanks for letting me know...how many?" He asked grabbing my hand in his own. I immediately started rubbing the back of his hand because I could feel his hand shaking in my own. I let my concern for him push my other feelings aside. I need to be strong for him.

"About 25...maybe more..." Maki just looked down at the cuts all over his body. I really hate how wounded he is. I could have been there to help in some way...he is lucky that they let him only get away with this...they could have killed him.

"Ok, let's just get it done then..." He closed his eyes when they started to clean the wound on his thigh. I saw his other hand grip the chair arm while his other hand squeezed my own pretty tightly. I hate having to see him in pain...

"Ok..." Maki didn't say anything else when she stuck the needle into his skin. I could tell by the way his face immediately contorted that he was in immense pain. He was biting his lip I was scared he would draw blood.

"It's ok, just hold onto my hand...then it will be over before you know it..." I whispered into his ear as I held the back of his head pulling his face into my chest. I felt tears start to stain my shirt and it made me start crying as well. I just tried my best to comfort him and Maki was moving quickly to stitch up the wounds.

Hours of holding Kokichi close to me as he cried into my chest. I just held him while he shook in my arms and sobbed.

I want to make this stop.

I want to help him!

Just hang in there Kichi.

I'm right here beside you.

He was soon trembling in my arms while Maki moved away from stitching up the last wound. "She finished Kokichi...Maki and Nagito are just patching your wounds now..." I went to stand up but Kokichi didn't want me to leave him. He was holding onto me like a lifeline...I felt bad about the whole situation but I stayed by his side knowing this is what he needs right now.

"You did good Kokichi...get some rest..." Nagito spoke to him but he didn't even raise his head. He must be exhausted from all of that...I would be as well.

I took him back to our room after picking him up gently making sure not to touch or move him too much to make his wounds hurt even more. He went motionless in my arms and would only flinch every now and then as I walked over to the room.

Nagito walked into the room while Hajime was holding onto his hand. I looked up from Kokichi for a moment before placing my finger to my lips. Nagito nodded knowing I meant for them to be quiet so he could rest.

"Hey, Shuichi here is some pain medication for Kokichi," Nagito whispered pausing to hand me the bottle. I looked up at him and gave him a nod.

"Make sure he takes two pills in the morning, the wounds should heal mostly in about a week." Hajime rested his head on Nagito's shoulder while Nagito was talking. He looked over him with a loving gaze and smiled.

"Hajime needs to get some rest as well...today has been a bad day for a lot of us...you should get some as well," I nodded as he waved and walked out of her room with Hajime leaning on him for support.

I smiled walking them walk away. I almost forgot how much I like seeing them together. Nagito has definitely gotten more confidence from being with Hajime and Hajime seems to be happier with Nagito by his side.

"Ngh," I turned my head back to Kokichi to see him moving around. I know that this could mess up his stitches so I gently held onto him so he would not move as much. He groaned again before he went quiet.

I smiled a little when he made grabby hands at me as I got up to change out of my uniform. Kokichi was already out of his because they had to take it off to give him his stitches. He was wearing his boxers and an oversized t-shirt. His uniform would definitely have to be patched up after this event...

"I'm coming Kichi," I whispered gently as I made my way over to the smaller boy. He was just laying there while his face was contorted in pain. I slid in next to him and held his gently making sure he wasn't in pain.

He smiled and moved his head closer to my chest. I could feel my face heat up even though this was a normal thing for him to do. I still get flustered around him...and I love the feelings I get when I'm around him.

I couldn't really sleep because I already have insomnia and the situation that happened earlier didn't make it any easier...

I played with his hair taking the strands of purple and running my fingers through them. I love how his hair curls up at some parts and then is super straight in others.

I love you Kokichi and I don't want you to get hurt again...
