Blind Jealousy

Resolution

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHUICHI!!
*This Chapter Includes Gore*
Shuichi POV~

I wanna stay like this forever... all the pain I had felt had suddenly melted away to a sense of blissful peace. The pure feeling of Kokichi resting his head on my chest as I held him numbed the pain of my wound. I could feel Kokichi's warm tears sink into my shirt. "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!" Kokichi and I both jolted at the booming voice of Kaito, who stood shocked in the hallway before Kokichi's room. Maki came into view looking very confused, leaning against the door frame to look into the room. "Ah-! Kaito!" I stuttered thank god it's them who showed up, I wouldn't wanna have to explain this to anyone else. "Kaito and I heard noises from my room, so we decided to come to check on the situation," Maki said firmly. They both quickly examined the room "Ouma-Kun and I were-" "IS THAT RANTARO?!" Kaito interrupted and pushed his way into the room, standing above the unconscious body. Maki made her into the room and stood behind him, observing the body as well. She turned and gave both of us a stern look. "What happened here?" God the way she talks makes my skin crawl "W-Well I came H-Here to Talk to Ouma... but when I-" I stopped myself. The pain of my gash resurfaced and I clenched my teeth, burying my face in Kokichi's shirt. The bleeding had slowed but My head still throbbed From the amount of it I had lost. I swayed to the side and slumped over a bit, still keeping my grasp on Kokichi stable. "Ah-" Kokichi pushed his arms out and tried his best to hold up my body weight. "Shuichi!" Kaito and Maki ran to my aid and each carefully helped me sit up. "It seems you're bleeding a lot from your right shoulder," Maki began, "Did something happen?" I tried to stutter a few words but was instantly taken back by the increasing pain. "I... I got s-stabbed..." Was all I could mutter. Kaito and Maki's expressions changed quickly. Kaito angrily turned to Kokichi and grabbed onto his shirt, pulling him forward. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?" Kaito yelled in his face. Kokichi sat there silently. "I-" Still holding onto Kokichi I used the strength that I had left to pull him away from Kaito and carefully back into my arms. "What's your problem?" I shouted. Kaito and Maki were both very surprised by my reaction. "Ouma-Kun didn't do anything," I said, trying to calm myself.

"It was Rantaro..."

"Wha...what?" Kaito turned at the foot of the bed to face Rantaro on the floor, a shocked expression over his face. "Ah..." I felt my eyes began to water as a sharp pain ran down my arm. This hurts like hell... "You can explain to us later," Maki lightly pulled at my arm to help me stand up "But for right now let's get you to the infirmary and fix you up." She's right, I've lost a lot of blood. I swayed a bit as I tried to stand even with Maki's help, but I couldn't keep my own balance. Kaito grabbed my other arm and helped me stand properly.  "Ouma," I turned back to meet Kokichi's fearful eyes "Come along with us," Maki commanded. "No thanks." Kokichi leaned back on the bed, his attitude suddenly shifting. "I'm fine. No point in me recklessly tagging alone." "Well, he's back to normal..." Kaito whispered through gritted teeth. "Please..." I meet Kokichi's gaze and saw his face change, his eyes softening and his eyebrows relaxed. "Come with us. I-" I swallowed my words. I need to do everything I can to make up with him. "I want to make sure you're ok. Please." I watched as Kokichi's demeanor changed yet again, a now surprised and somewhat comforted look showing. I could tell he was holding back a smile "Fine then. But that doesn't mean I've forgiven you." Kokichi pushed himself off the bed and headed towards the door, the others still standing by my side quite confused. I on the other hand didn't feel the slightest bit upset. This is progress... to win you back!

We sluggishly arrived at the infirmary after what had seemed to be hours on end. I slumped into a chair near the door and felt like passing out right there. Kokichi sat on my left, looking at me with an observant gaze. How cute, I thought to myself. he seems worried about me. Maki quickly pulled a chair in front of me and sat down, holding a variety of hospital utensils in a small box. "Do you... know what you're doing?" I asked concerned. "Of course I know what I'm doing, I'm a caretaker after all." Kokichi giggled a bit to himself and Maki shot him a glance. "Sure~" he winked. I don't really think this is the best time to provoke her Kokichi... but Maki seemed to brush the whole thing off. "I'm gonna clean it now, so that'll hurt." I turned my head away and clenched my teeth, preparing myself for the Sharp pain. But instead...
