Kokichi x Reader Live, Laugh, Lie

Chapter 16: Passing

You woke up in a cold sweat. However, you were more shocked than scared or upset. You glanced next to you to see a sleeping Kokichi. His sleeping face was so cute, so innocent. His usual face was always confined by the mask he tries to put up around others, it's not like his childish grin wasn't adorable, it was. Just his neutral face was just so perfect.

You slowly shuffled out of the bed, careful not to wake up your purple boyfriend. You entered the bathroom slowly and quietly, the thoughts running rampant through your mind. It's not like that dream didn't happen, it did. You did kill your father out of rage. Your sister is dead. But at some point along the way after denying it for so long, your having no involvement became the truth, your truth. You tricked your mind into believing it. You told the police so many times that 'I was at school. He was still alive when I left'. You practised lying over and over again in front of the mirror to ensure there were no physical cues. Coincidentally this incident was what gave you the title of Ultimate Secret Agent.

You had assisted in the case of your 'father's' death and you were actually surprisingly good at detective work. After your 'mother' died you were in need of a job to survive and you were given a chance to work as a detective. You were given a multitude of tests and passed all of them with ease and eventually, you had a job. After six months of working as a detective but still being treated like a child, you were completely fed up. You requested a change and due to your athleticism and naturally small stature, you were given the opportunity to work as a covert agent.

However, every good covert agent needs a guy in the chair and that's where you met your now best friend Chihiro Fujisaki. Chihiro was always there to unlock the retina scanner door or to hack the cameras just to ensure your safety. He always shut off the security system and the alarm for you to not get caught. You also were just great friends. You clicked immediately and had a merry old time. You splashed a bit of water in your face.

"Baaaaaaaabe~ Come back to beeeed~" You blushed slightly at the nickname. So cute. You turned back to face a now sitting up Kokichi. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. He opened his eyes and looked directly at you and when he did he tilted his face in confusion. "Are you okay? You look worried." You walked back to the bed and sat down silently, questioning whether or not you should tell him or just chalk it up to a bad dream.

"I had a bad dream," Your voice was clearly shaky and this only made him worry more. "You wanna talk about it?" His voice was calming and soothing as he sat across from you. You responded with a nod before attempting to formulate how you were going to spew this mess onto him. Did you even want to? It's too late now.

You opened your mouth to speak as tears had already formed in your eyelids. "Um, well it wasn't really a bad dream, more of a flashback." You froze, not knowing what to say. He reached his arms around. "I killed my dad," You whispered so low that you could barely hear your own voice. He looked at you confusedly. "I killed my dad," You whispered a bit louder this time and you could tell he heard from his reaction. He pulled you closer to him. You flinched at the sudden movement but allowed it to happen. He pulled back and placed a hand on your chin, lifting your you up to face him. The spilt paints of sadness were running hot and fast down the proverbial canvas. "Can you please tell me what happened?"

"Um, well... When I told my parents I was gay they weren't very happy about it and my sister would always protect me from them but she died in a car crash and they started hitting me and-" You caught yourself rambling and swiftly apologized through sobs which he immediately shot down. It was clear he was concerned which made you feel at least a little better. "One day I got so upset and angry that I stabbed him." He looked at you with wide eyes. In all honesty, you did quite enjoy that moment but it also hunts you quite a bit. Calling you sadistic would probably be correct. Other than Kokichi and Tsumugi, you didn't really care who died and who didn't. The two of you stayed in the hug for what felt like about ten minutes.

Eventually, you heard soft snores coming from his shoulder. Kokichi was fast asleep and you audibly squealed at how cute he is before laying him back down on the bed. You lay down next to him and draped an arm around him as you slowly drifted off to sleep.

The sun pierced through the closed blinds of Kokichi's room. It was a lot brighter than the other mornings when you had woken up. This time though, you were woken by a knock at the door. You rolled silently out of bed whilst rubbing your eyes. It was Kirumi at the door. She was about to speak when you whispered to her that Kokichi was still asleep. She nodded and handed you two plates of breakfast. "We got worried so I came to check on you," She whispered. You thanked her and closed the door before you could even think about what she said. You glanced over at the clock and it said 9:14. Wow, I slept through the morning announcement.

You tip-toed back over to Kokichi and shook him lightly. "Kokichi, pssssst, wake up," You whispered. He began to stir before eventually opening his eyes. He wrapped his arms around you and pulled you back down to the bed. He muttered something which kinda sounded like five more minutes. You chuckled before basically tugging him up. He groaned loudly and playfully punched you. You laughed again and handed him one of the plates full of bacon and pancakes. He shoved a couple of pieces of bacon in his mouth and muttered a muffled thank you noise. The two of you sat in silence while eating until that silence was interrupted by the monitor in the room.

Ding, Dong, Bing, Bong!

"Puhuhuhu... Everyone go to the hall for a very special announcement. Attendance is mandatory unless you wanna die! Puhuhu~" The two of you glanced nervously at each other before begrudgingly getting up from the bed. The pair of you were the first there. Monokuma was standing on the stage, impatiently tapping his foot. One by one everyone entered in pairs until the hall was filled with teenagers.

"Good, you're finally here," He spoke unenthusiastically. "From now on if you aren't here in two minutes I'm gonna punish you, puhuhu. Of course, that means death. Now, You are all here for me to announce a new motive." Monotaro handed him a black book and he held it up. "This is the Necronomicon. Inside are instructions to revive one of your dead classmates. I'm just gonna leave this here and yall can figure out what you wanna do with it. Have fun." He and the other animatronics headed to the back of the stage and disappeared.

Everyone stared at the book. They were all clearly antsy. But also confused. Korekiyo was the first one to pick it up. He read the instructions to himself before reading them out loud to the rest of the group. It involved effigies and burning books. Spooky.

"We should perform a seance to discern whether or not the souls of our fallen friends are still around. There are the materials to perform a very special seance, The Caged Child. This is a very unique opportunity." Everyone nodded silently in agreement. There wasn't any reason not to got through with the seance. Himiko suggested using the empty rooms on the third floor, more specifically the middle one. Everyone with some semblance of upper body strength helped Korekiyo move everything to the room.

The five people participating were Kiibo, Shuichi, Korekiyo, Tenko and Himiko. Originally Kokichi was going to participate but you were completely against the idea and despite his whining, you didn't allow him to partake. The five went into the room and Korekiyo asked everyone to not disturb them. Everyone either returned to the dining room or headed to their own rooms.

I hope nothing goes wrong.
