Danganronpa Femboy Hooters

Chapter 12 - Relaxing Stress

Shuichi's POV

I sat on my bed, my phone in my hand. I was waiting for Kokichi to text me back. I was supposed to be relaxing today, but waiting for Kokichi to text me back was kind of stressful.

I looked at the text I sent him. 'Hey Kokichi. How are you doing?' I inspected the short message for typos or incorrect punctuation. Texting people always made me anxious, well, most things made me anxious, but that's besides the point.

It had been about two minutes since I sent the text. Kokichi had told me yesterday when he didn't have class, so I knew when I would be able to text him without bothering him.

It had been three minutes sent the text. I sighed, and tapped my foot on the floor. I knew I had nothing to worry about, but I was still nervous.

I got a reply five minutes after I sent the text.

'I'm doing good. How are you?'

I thought of a reply quickly, but waited a minute to send it.

'I'm doing well.'

After a couple minutes, Kokichi texted me again.

'I know this is kind of sudden, but I'm going out with my roommate on Monday, and I was wondering if you'd want to meet us there. I already asked my roommate, and he's okay with you coming.'

I got up from my bed, and paced around my room. "Did he just asked me on a date?" I said to myself, "But he mentioned a roommate. What if he just wants to hang out as friends? What if his 'roommate' is actually his boyfriend?" 

As the thoughts were racing through my mind, I picked up my phone, and sent a message before I could think anymore and waste this opportunity. 

'Sure, I'd love to come. Just tell me where and when to meet you.'

As I pressed send, the feeling of anxiety creeped up my spine once more. The feeling was settled when I got a message back.

'Great! We'll meet you at the mall at noon. Can't wait until Monday.'

"He can't wait to see me," I thought. My cheeks turned pink, and I smiled. 

Kokichi's POV

"Rantaro, did I really do the right thing inviting him?" I asked my roommate, "What if he realizes that I'm not fun to hang out with, and I just ruined even having a friendship with him?!"

"You're overthinking, Kokichi," Rantaro smiled and placed his hand on my shoulder, "If he said yes, he's gotta at least think of you as a friend."

I sighed, "You're right. I'm still nervous though."

"Okay, how about when Monday comes around, we'll spend some time making you look your best. How does that sound?"

"Sure," I smiled, "Thanks Rantaro."

"Anything for my best friend."

I began to fantasize about what might happen on Monday. The fantasies weren't like 'He's propose and we'd ride of into the sunset' kind of fantasies, they were much more realistic than that. But I knew no matter how much I dreamed, there was no chance that they would ever become reality.
