77: Kokichi

"You should get some rest, tomorrow is going to be a stressful day," Hess said moving away from me and letting my hair fall against my back. I blushed a bit at this because I was feeling tired and wanted to fall asleep. Sleep was something my body craved for, something it yearned for, something it wanted. Like my wanting for Shuichi, my need for him to be safe...the need for him to be by my side. Oh how I crave for his touch...my skin burns not being able to have him by my side.

"Hey, are you going to be alright on your own?" She asked, moving her hand to my forehead. I looked up at her for a moment before I nodded my head feeling unsure of the action. Was I certain I was going to be alright sleeping without Shuichi by my side. I didn't even know if I was okay with all of this...being without Shuichi.

"Hey I understand if you aren't I don't sleep well alone either~," She said with a small laugh. I could tell by the way she said it to me that it was bothering her. Maybe she has referencing that she has been able to sleep better with another person by her side.

"You can lay with me if you want," I said moving out of the bed to hold my hand out to her. She looked at me for a moment before she smiled. "I think Shuichi would lose his shit if you did something like that~," She laughed a bit after this and it made me frown a bit.

"I don't mind it and I'm sure Shuichi wouldn't mind it either," I whispered before she moved over to my side again. "Are you sure~?" She teased making me blush. I sighed and moved my arms around her shoulders. I know she is just trying to make me flustered to get the attention off of her...I know because I do this all the time.

"Oh?" She asked, sounding a bit confused. I just smiled a bit and slowly moved her to the bed. "You need to get some rest, I'm sure Syn would agree with me" I said in a more serious tone. She rolled her eyes playfully before putting her arms behind her head. "You sound just like my beauty~," She smirked before I slowly moved onto the other side of the bed.

"You mean Syn don't you?" She went silent for a moment before she scoffed. "Yes, of course I mean Syn." She said putting one of her arms over her eyes to cover them. I moved on the bed so my body was on it's side. From here I leaned on my elbow to look at her arm that was covering her eyes.

"You miss her, don't you?" I asked again but she didn't respond. After a few moments of watching her only to be met with silence and no motion...I sighed again and fell back onto the bed moving over to wrap my arm around her stomach. "I know you must miss her...I can just see it in the way you glance over at her...and the way your eyes lit up when you saw me in her body only to become disappointed again." I said letting the silence of the room cushion my words. Making it a comfortable silence for me.

"Of course I do." She said in a different tone than the one she used before. I was slightly shocked by this change but I was able to keep my composure. "So why can't you be together then?" I asked again feeling like my words were out of place, making the room feel heavier. She let out a shaky breath and let her arm fall off of her face.

"Because...it's not allowed for us to be together...at least not anymore." She whispered. I looked over at her feeling more curious. I frowned a bit before looking over at her for a moment. "I see...what do you mean not anymore? Were you together?" I asked moving my hand to rub the side of her arm.

"Yes." She said before turning over on the bed. "You should get some rest." She said with a tone that told me not to push it. I looked to the side and decided to get some rest. I still felt alone and some tears came out of my eyes. I miss Shuichi...
