Slowly watching you turn this way

Chapter 7

(A/N-ah yes, my favorite show)

Shuichi's pov

I walked over to the table Kaede, Kokichi, Rantaro, and y/n sit and noticed only Kaede and Kokichi were there. I sat down in my normal seat. "Rantaro and y/n went to do something." Kaede said before I could even ask my question. "I could tell you were gonna ask." "O-oh..." I wonder if I should tell Kaede. Maybe she'll be able to help me. "Hey, um...Kaede can I tell you something?" I asked. "Sure, knock yourself out." "So um..." I played with my fingers. I knew this was gonna be hard, but I didn't think it'll be this hard. She raised her eyebrow. "I would say 'take your time' but lunch doesn't last that long. I'd hate to rush you, but try and tell me. Like ripping off a bandaid!" She tried to give me courage.

This is one painful bandaid I'm pulling off.

"I think about my executions and it...excites me." I said.

Kaede was quiet, not sure how to answer that. "So...you're a masochist?" She asked me. I nodded my head. "y/n doesn't know, does she?" She asked again. I nod again. She sighed. "Jeez, this is one heck of a secret we gotta keep. Right Kokicki?" Kaede asked. "H-huh?" "You weren't paying attention were you?" "W-was a su-supposed to?" "No, no it's fine" I say before Kaede repeats it. "U-um ok." Kokichi said as he went back to whatever he's doing. I think it's for the best if Kokichi doesn't know.

He needs to hold on to his innocence for as long as he can.

"Don't worry Shuichi! I'll keep your secret!" Kaede said, making me feel a bit better. I smiled a little. "Oh, and by the way, Rantaro and y/n are coming this way." "Ok, that means we need to act like we weren't talking about this." I say, trying to think of a topic. I looked at Kokichi to see he's drawing something. Kaede looked over. "Whatcha drawing?" She asked and the poor fragile boy jumped. "No-nothing!" "You always say it's nothing, but it's something good." Kaede looked over to see what he's drawing. "That's really good! How do you draw so well?" Kaede asked him as Kokichi blushed. "I-I don't know." "Are you in art class or something?" "No." He said quietly. "Well, that's really good." "Hi, guys! Did you miss us?" y/n asked as she sat down next to me and Rantaro sitting next to Kaede. "Yup." "Talk about anything interesting while we were gone?" Rantaro asked. "Nope." Kaede says. "Where were you guys anyway?" I asked. "Finishing up a lab because someone wanted to rush through it the first time." y/n glared at Rantaro. "In my defense, I just wanted to mix chemicals." "Well, we have to do everything in order first you moron!"

I smiled softly as I saw the two go back and forth. I want it to be normal like this forever.

But, something tells me it won't be.

A/N-I have a question: which one of y'all is willing to give me a story idea for the next chapter?
