//SHUICHI POV//
I stood in front of the door, my heart beating fast.
The last time I walked in here, Kokichi laid unconscious on the ground.
I don't ever wanna see that again.
I gently open the door.
Kokichi sat draped over the couch, an empty bottle of panta sticking out of his mouth.
Once he had spotted me, he spat out the bottle and jumped up.
"Shumai! You're back," he cheered and ran over to me, latching on to my waist.
I chuckled.
"Hi, Kokichi."
He had been granted absence from school for three days to recover.
I don't know if he actually wanted that though.
He spends all the time just watching TV and drinking really unhealthy carbonated drinks, but I guess if that's what cheers him up...
"Hey Shumai! It's the weekend tomorrow, what are we gonna do?"
I hadn't thought about that.
Hm.
Well, we hadn't hung out with the others in awhile, maybe we could go to a theme park, or maybe uh...
I looked at Kokichi, who had puffy red eyes.
Huh?
I didn't notice that before.
As he was still clinging on to me, I picked him up and carried him to the couch.
"Kichi, were you crying?"
Judging by his reaction to that, he was.
"Oh, I watched a sad show, it's really fine-"
I could tell that that was a lie.
Kokichi doesn't cry over TV shows.
He cries over things like not having any panta, or having to wake up early.
"What really happened..?"
He sighed and grabbed his phone, showing me a message displayed on it.
'I wish that suicide attempt had killed you. But I guess you can't even kill yourself right.'
Huh?
What?
That didn't make sense.
The person who sent that..
They would have to have known about his attempt.
"W-Who is this from?"
Kokichi shrugged and pulled his knees up to his chest.
I reached out and embraced him.
"It's okay, Kokichi. I'm glad it didn't work. I'm glad you're alive. I'm glad you're here. Don't listen to that person," I whispered softly.
I heard him sob softly.
Kokichi usually never got hurt by insults.
Or did he?
Were all of the remarks and fake crying whenever someone insulted Kokichi just a wall?
A wall to protect him?
"Hey, maybe on the weekend we can go to the pool with the rest of the ultimates!"
Kokichi nodded, and clutched my shirt.
I kissed him softly on the forehead, and sat on the couch with him for several minutes.
I didn't know what he needed.
I didn't know what to say.
I just wanted to be there for him.
Whatever it takes, I'll protect him.
...
Later in the day, I formed a group chat.
I had asked Kokichi to go around figuring out everyone else's phone numbers, and he did.
Sometimes it's scary to see what he can do.
'Ultimate Group Chat' is what I called it.

kyokofan1: I can't really see who said yes and who said no, so we'll see! We'll meet tomorrow at 10 am at the bus stop! See you soon!
spaceman: fuck
kyokofan1: ....why would you say that
I put down my phone and smiled at Kokichi, who was grinning at his phone.
I looked over his shoulder and saw him staring at an image.
It was Keebo, blushing while sitting next to a toaster.
"Why is he blushing," I asked, putting an arm around Kokichi's shoulder.
"He was probably staring at someone's tiddies without their consent again," he said, in a fake angry voice.
I chuckled and leaned my head against Kokichi's, who slightly jumped.
I can't wait till tomorrow.
