Kokichi? {Oumasai/Saiouma} {HIATUS}

-17-

Homeroom was as boring as it always was. Kokichi was just keeping his head in his arms as he fell asleep. Shuichi wanted to try to wake him up...but the teacher beat him to it.

"Kokichi Ouma!" The teacher shouted hitting his hand on the board. Kokichi raised his head and looked confused and disoriented. He rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"What is it teach?" He asked making the teacher sigh.

"I need you to pay attention or at least stay awake!" He exclaimed tapping on the board. Kokichi sighed and gave him a nod. He set his head in his hands wanting nothing more than to go back to sleep. He just felt exhausted from having to do the same thing every day...

"Shuichi, how are you able to stay awake during all our classes...? Aren't you tired?" He asked leaning against Shuichi's arm. Shuichi smiled and holds his hand under the table.

"I take notes as a way to focus so I'm distracted and I'm not focusing on the fact that I'm tired the whole time...that's why I always suggest that you have a notebook so you can draw or take notes just to pass the time," He whispered back to him before going back to writing. The classroom was filled with meaningless chatter. They are able to work on homework for the last 20 minutes of class for this period...which for Kokichi meant he could talk to Shuichi without getting glares from other students for being 'loud'.

"I'll try..." Kokichi sighed and opened his notebook and started doodling. The doodles consisted mostly of drawings of Shuichi. As well as cute little comics of them being together. Kokichi found this very entertaining to him and continued to draw.

He has always liked drawing. It was almost like his second talent, out of many of course, because Kokichi is so talented. He would always doodle on his arms and legs when he was in grade school. He would always doodle on the back of notes and envelopes that were left lying around. Kokichi would draw on anything he could find and he absolutely loved it!

He smiled at his work as the bell rang. Shuichi had a blush on his face and Kokichi knew that it was because he saw the doodles he was drawing. He would have felt embarrassed but he felt more proud of his achievement. He loved Shuichi more than anything and he was glad he was able to show that through his art and not just his words and actions.

"Shuichi~ do you like my drawing?" He asked showing him a side profile of Shuichi. Shuichi looked at it amazed at how great it looked.

"That's amazing Kokichi!" He exclaimed holding the notebook in his hands. He was touched that his boyfriend drew a picture of him during class. Because it made him feel even more loved than he was before.

"Thank you Shu~," He said putting the notebook back into his bag. They only had a couple more classes before they could cuddle at lunch and Kokichi was more than just looking forward to it. He loved the feeling of Shuichi's arms around his waist as he would cradle him.

It was like a safe feeling that only his touch could bring. The antidote to a sickness without a cure. The water vapor that forms the could and causes it to rain. It was like rain on a spring day. Where the wind is blowing through the trees while the sky is dim with clouds before the rain starts to come down.

The rain comes down in droplets and because of the season, it's warm. Warm rain. Just like the calming feeling of Shuichi's arms around him. Even though he doesn't get to be in them all the time he still wants more of his touch.

"We are going to this class," Kokichi realized that he zoned out and was taken aback by this. Usually, Shuichi is the one to zone out while they walk...he still does it sometimes but with Shuichi, it's a more frequent occurrence.

"Alright," He said with a groan under his breath. He didn't want to have to sit through another class...but at least cuddles were promised later. And even if Kokichi didn't get his cuddles they sleep in the same room so it's bound to happen eventually.

"We are going to your lab later right?" Shuichi asked as they sat down in their next class right before lunch.

"Yeah, then we can cuddle~," He said in a more hushed tone knowing Shuichi hates people looking at them because of him mentioning anything intimate or touchy they do together.

Shuichi isn't embarrassed that he is dating Kokichi. He is just worried that people are always going to judge him for it. Because he always gets a ton of judgment for just dressing the way he does...so he definitely doesn't want to stick out more. He just wants to be himself and Kokichi helps him feel more comfortable doing so.

"Y-yeah," Shuichi stuttered feeling his face heat up again. Kokichi held onto his hand while he was drawing with the other. Shuichi smiles at him and looked up to the board listened to the lecture.

The lectures at Hopes Peak is definitely not like other schools. Hopes peak tends to be more interactive and more interesting...meaning, the teachers ask more questions and they share experiences to get the students more into the lesson. They take education very seriously and want the students to pass so they have loads of tutoring and other helpful things for the students to use.

Kokichi added more detail to the past doodles and sketches in his notebook and make them look more shaded and have more detail. He also wrote some plans for schemes in the side margins of the paper. It was little harmless pranks as per usual.

Shuichi was taking notes occasionally and listened to the lecture. But every once and a while he looks over at Kokichi and smiles at his art. He loves how talented his boyfriend is. Sure he doubts himself sometimes but that's why he is here for him. They need each other just like an essay and words or a notebook without a pencil.

-So I'm still on a trip with my family and it's actually nice? I don't know me and my parents had a rough conversation at the start of it...but I'm doing ok now! Thank you all so much for reading!!-
