Death sentence 『Oumasai』

Confusion?

"I was on the roof because I was planning to jump."

Shuchi was bewildered, he looked desperately for any sign of him lying..anything. but he was telling the truth. Shuichi felt himself sympathize with Kokichi because he has felt that way before. He knew what it was like to lose enough emotional strength to be able to try to end his life, he knew what it was like to feel like he wasn't only invisible but was a burden to everyone; he knew that he didn't want Kokichi to be experiencing this. "Now you know~ are you going to publish it on a big article? Are you going to expose and embarass me?" Kokichi cooed, trying to mask the fear in his voice. He had deeply hoped that Shuichi wouldn't, but they hadn't known each other for too long so he wouldn't care about his feelings.

Shuichi noticed Kokichi's hand shaking, this made him feel even more sympathy towards him. "N-no! I wont do that, I-I know what it's like to have your mental health exposed without permission and I wouldn't want you to go through that.." Shuichi raised his voice a little, but it was purely on accident. Kokichi felt himself begin to tear up---he didn't want to cry infront of him, he couldn't cry in front of him. He wasn't comfortable expressing his emotions to other people, so why? Why does he wanna cry wrapped in Shuichi's arms, why does he wanna be comforted by him?

A few tears slipped from his eyes, a few turned into a hundred, a hundred turned into a billion.. He was now full on sobbing, wrapping his own arms around himself to feel protected. He felt uncovered and bare, he tried his best to stop but more and more tears came out. It wasn't until he felt Shuichi wrap his arms around him that he felt himself calm down a little bit.

"Shhh, it's okay." Shuichi said softly, this tone made Kokichi fall limp into his embrace. Shuichi didn't know what he felt towards Kokichi, it was very confusing---it was like he wanted to understand him better. Shuichi wanted to protect Kokichi, even though he wasn't that strong---but he still had to ask a few more questions to dismiss Kokichi's innocence.Even so, he could tell from just looking at Kokichi's eyes that he has endured so much. Kokichi continued to sob while Shuichi rubbed his back, a simple but comforting gesture to Ouma.

This whole time no words were exchanged, it was just the two boys holding each other for dear life. They had no idea how things excalated so quickly but they weren't complaining. It was quite the opposite, they enjoyed each others presence; savoring every moment. "Nishishishi~ thanks Saihara-chan! Your cuddles are the best!" Ouma cheerfully grinned, this time he was genuinely happy. He was amazed at the fact that there was someone on this planet as angelic as Shuichi. They barely knew each other and Shuichi was the first one that actually tried to help him. "A-ah um, it's getting pretty late I should probably go..." He grabbed his phone to call Haruta until he heard Kokichi sigh. "I-is something wrong?" He asked, concern washing over his voice in a flash. This caused Ouma to giggle. "I thought we had something special Mr. Emo Detective, and yet you still haven't asked for my number!~" He sighed audibly disappointed.

"I-I'm sorry, uh...can I get your number?" Shuichi was blushing trying desprately to hide it under his hat. "Oooooo~ I'm flattered! Of course I'll give you my number!" He snickered as he snached Shuichi's phone from Shuichi's hands. He briskly typed his number into Shuichi's phone. Shuichi was just in shock...Someone wanted his number? That's a first... "There you go! I'll be waiting for your texts Mr. Emo Detective!~" He snickered, loving every moment of how flustered Shuichi got. Shuichi was a blushing mess, even his hat couldn't hide the blush that was on his face. "O-Ouma is it okay if we continue the interrogation another day?" Shuichi asked, he didn't really get to ask as much questions as he wanted.. "Sure thing! Just give me a date and time." He said with his overly cheery voice.

Shuichi only nooded before calling Haruta on his cell phone. He tells him that he's ready to get picked up, Haruta just told him that he'd be on his way. "Hey, Ouma-Kun?" Shuichi started, catching Ouma's attention.  "What's up, my beloved Saihara-chan?" Saihara enjoyed all of the little nicknames that the other boy gave him. "T-thank you for opening up to me...I-I know how hard it is to open up to others.." Shuichi fittled with his fingers, trying not to get too nervous. Kokichi was baffled, Shuichi was way too kind to him... "No, thank you Saihara-chan...Thank you for understanding." Everything that Kokichi was saying was genuine. 

He found it funny how easy it was to open up to Shuichi, and although he couldn't fully tell him everything he felt safe telling Shuichi things.  "U-um no problem.." Shuichi akwardy shuffled around in the couch. He hated his non-social skills so much, he wished he could start a conversation be he ultimately didn't know how.  

Ouma took it upon himself to make Shuichi less tense... so he went up to him a cuddled with him. It was the least he could do, Shuichi was nice enough to comfort him so why wouldn't he? "K-Kokichi?" Shuichi sttutered, making Kokichi nuzzle more into Shuichi's back. "Shumaiii relax~" Kokichi whined, Shuichi tried his best to comply. 

It was quiet, but it wasn't the type of silence that one would call akward; it was the type of silence you have on a cold winters day in front of a fire place with hot chocalate in your hands. They enjoyed every moment together.. Well that was until Shuichi got a call from Haruta. 

"I'm Outside.." Haruta said over the phone, Shuichi mentally sighed---he wanted to stay with Kokichi a little longer but he knew that he had to leave eventually. "U-um, Kichi I need to go.." Kokichi was disappointed, but he tried his best to hide it. Kokichi hesitantly took his arms off of Shuichi, not wanting to let go. 

not wanting to let go of the one person that he felt some sort of connection to...
