Can we Make It?

-25-

I woke up again when Kokichi was moving around again. I looked over to the clock. Shoot I need to change his bandages again...

He has been wearing shorty shorts with a loose t-shirt for the time being. Because I have to be able to access all of his wounds and be able to change the bandages...I know he like wearing shorts...but he hates having to see the bandages because I'm sure he sees them as a weakness.

I slowly moved the blankets off of his body. He flinched when they were removed from his body. Probably because of the sudden lack of warmth. I moved closer to him and hugged him gently, rubbing his back trying to warm him up.

"Nngh...Shui...?" Kokichi said with a groan. I could feel his hands shaking under mine. But I know it was because of the pain from his wounds...and because of how he is cold.

"Hello baby, sorry you are a little cold...I need to change your bandages," I whispered in his ear. I felt his arms move around my neck as he gently moved his hands into my hair.

He would always do this when I would wake up first. He would always pull me back down into the sheets next to him so we could cuddle...I miss those days...

.  .  .

"Ugh, another day at work," I groaned getting out of bed before he held me close to him. He slowly wrapped his arms around my neck gently moving his hands into my hair.

"You don't have to go..." He whispered into my ear. I laughed a bit.

He is always like this and it makes me smile honestly. I want to be able to stay home with him as well...but missing a day at the detective agency isn't an option.

Kokichi likes having the days I have off to be able to have me all to himself. It makes me feel so loved when he cuddles with me all day and doesn't want to leave unless it's on a date with him and him alone.

The endearing look in his eyes and the way he can make me smile. I don't know what I would do without him! I want to be with him everyday. I want to hear him laugh, see him smile, wake up next to him everyday, and be able to hear about what he is thinking.

"But then how will I make money love?" I asked, lazily kissing his cheek. I want him to know I'm here for him...even if I have to go to my job...

I always wish I could tell when he is lying when he is...but sometimes I can't tell when he is, and I want to be able to hear his needs and even his wants.

"I guess you're right..." He sighed slowly pulling his hands away. I sighed not wanting to go into work either...but I got out of bed and got changed anyway.

"I love you baby," I whispered, kissing his cheek before I left out the door.

I looked back at him with a blush on my cheeks. He was smirking at me as he was now awake. I grabbed my keys and left after he tackled me with a hug and kissed me all over my face. But this is a normal thing me and him do every morning and I absolutely love it.

.  .  .

"I'm going to take them off now, is that alright?" I asked, slowly running my finger over his thigh. He shivered again but gave me a small nod. He must just be cooperative because he knows it has to be done so he can get better.

"Ok," I said, taking the bandages off of him. Making sure to go slow because he is seemingly more sensitive today. Although if I asked him about it he would deny it...because he absolutely hates being vulnerable...

After I was able to take them off I looked him over again. The cuts are not only forming into scars...in a couple of weeks they will be healed. I'm glad they will be because I'm sure he wants to be able to get on his feet again.

I slowly applied the ointment to the scars. They were all thick and jagged...I hated having to see him so hurt...the bandages came next and I made sure to be careful doing the ones around his more sensitive areas. I could tell he was scared of being touched when he is more sensitive...I'm glad he is trying to not be as uncooperative because I'm the one doing it. Usually he would be kicking and yelling...

"Baby, it's ok," I whispered, placing kisses on the bandages just as the time before. Taking in the whole moment.

The way he looked beautiful with the small smile on his face when I finished. The calming feeling of the quiet room with only the two of us in the room. I only focused on him...because he looks beautiful...and I want to have this feeling with me. Being able to save it into my memory, and being able to cherish the good moments...even if the world around us is burning.

"Shuichi, you zoned out again," Kokichi said cupping my cheek. I blushed out of embarrassment. I don't mean to zone out all the time. My mind is always going so fast sometimes I forget I go on a tangent and go somewhere else in my head.

"S-Sorry I don't mean to..." I whispered and held him close to me.

"I'm sorry you are still healing baby..." I said, feeling more tears coming into my eyes. His hand moved to wipe them away.

"It's ok Shu, I'm going to heal and be ok again, we are always going to be together," I smiled and kissed him gently on the lips.

"Ok, thank you I don't want to ever leave your side," I sniffled and leaned into the pillow making sure I wasn't putting too much pressure on his wounds.

-Here is the next part! I'm trying my best to keep the small amount of sanity I have! Wishing you all the best of luck!! Thank you so much for reading!!-
