saiouma fluff and some good old Gay Panic

inspired by the "Love Trial" saiouma animatic

"Hey Saihara-chan~ Saihara-chan, pay attention to me! Ah well, it doesn't matter~ After all, I love my Shumai~!"
Shuichi blushed furiously and hid his face in his hands, letting them fall onto the cafeteria table. For some reason, Kokichi had been flirting with him the entire week and he was just about to explode from being flustered.
"Oh? Is Saihara-chan shyyy? Don't worry Saihara-chan, I still love you~!"
"K-kokichi-"
He hoped that Kokichi would sense that he was genuinely starting to make him uncomfortable...
And what was this weird throbbing in his chest?
"Kokichi...I'm feeling sick for some reason...please stop."

(kokichi thoughts)
Oh shit, did I overdo it this time? Fuck, fuck, fuck I think I did. Shit, I can never face him again...this proves he doesn't like me back, huh?

Forcing a fake smile, Kokichi immediately backed off, saying in his usual joking voice, "Oh, is Saiha- I mean, Shuichi sick? Are you feeling okay? Do you need to go to the nurse's office?"
With head still in hands, he mumbled, "...i'm fine"
"Okie-dokie!" With that, Kokichi made his escape, standing up and walking away, holding in the tears threatening to burst out of his eyes. Trying to keep his walking at a normal pace, he finally reached the bathroom, immediately locking himself in a stall and letting his tears flow freely down his face.

Kokichi was gone but...that weird throbbing was still there. Shuichi caught himself wishing that Kokichi would stay but quickly smothered the thought. "I shouldn't be thinking about another boy like that...right? Although...Kaede did mention that some people liked more than one gender...Kaede said she was...bisexual, I think...maybe I should ask her about these strange feelings..."

Making up his mind, he left the table and speedwalked over to where Kaede was sitting, talking to Miu.
"Sorry, Iruma-san...I may have to steal Kaede for a while. Kaede...can I talk to you? Alone?"

Kaede followed him over to the corner of the room and asked, "Ok Shuichi, what's up?"
He looked down to the floor and mumbled, "Well...you know how that other day you said that you were...bisexual, and that people could love more than one gender?"
Kaede's eyes lit up. "Yeah, you remember that! Are you by any chance questioning your sexuality, Shuichi?"
"Well...I guess? I mean, I've liked girls before...but then again, I get a weird feeling in my chest whenever Kokichi is around, and I get nervous and my face goes red...and I also get really flustered when all the other guys change for gym, I swear I'm not a pervert I just-"

Kaede thought for a while before saying, "Hm, from what you said, I'm guessing that you might be bisexual, like me! But...uh...is the attraction you've felt towards Kokichi and other girls in the past sexual or romantic?"
"Eh???Sexual attraction??? E-Explain, please!" Shuichi accidentally yelled, not noticing how loud he had screamed.
"Well...sexual attraction is like-"
"IT MEANS YOU WANNA FUCK THEM, DUMBASS!" Miu hollered from across the cafeteria.
Shuichi immediately flushed red, signalling Miu to be quiet.
"For lack of a better word... yeah, what she said. And romantic attraction means that you want to cuddle and kiss them, but nothing more than that."
"Oh..." He thought for a while before answering. "I guess I'm bisexual then."
Kaede beamed. "Nice!"

And then she realised why he was asking her.

"Wait a second...does that mean that you're in love with Kokichi?"
"I-I mean-"
She screeched and held her hand to her heart. "Ahh! My ship is finally sailing!!! Oh my gods I have to tell Tsumugi she will freak- Oh, is that okay with you, Shuichi? I don't want to out you, of course! Ah, I'm so sorry!!"

Taken aback by her sudden outburst, Shuichi asked her not to tell Tsumugi or anyone else as he didn't feel ready yet. Kaede happily agreed.

After crying for a while, Kokichi came out(ha) of the bathroom stall. He then looked in the mirror, taking note of his red, puffy eyes. "Fuck." He washed his face but his eyes still had the tell-tale signs of crying...Just then, he had an idea.
