"I Don't Like You." (Flirt! Shuichi x Tsundere! Kokichi)

Chapter 18 "The Search"

Shuichi's POV

We filed a missing person report, and the police told us they'd look for Kichi, but they'd also have to contact his parents. I didnt see anything wrong with that.

Me and Tsumugi sighed with a bit of relief, praying that our friend was safe.

An hour passed, and nothing happened. The two of us were anxious beyond belief. Tsumugi refused to leave the dorm until Kichi was home safely, I of course didnt stop her.

Two hours, Kichis dad had called on the missing boys phone. I answered, and was shocked by what I heard.

"You little shit! What the hell do you think you're doing? You're causing trouble for everyone around you, like always! Now you get your ass back to your dorm, I better not see your face again for the next few days!" The man hung up, not even giving me a chance to explain that Kichi was not the one who answered the phone.

I looked over at Tsumugi, she seemed worried by how aggressive the man over the phone was.

Three hours passed. The police showed up at our dorm and asked us some questions about Kichi, we answered all the questions to the best of our ability, then the cops thanked us and left.

About one more hour passed, when we received a call.

I quickly answered the phone, and Tsumugi got of the couch and ran over to me so she could hear too

"Hello, is this Shuichi Saihara?" A male voice asked.

"Yes it is.."

"I am calling on behalf of the police in charge of you missing person report, to let you know that we have found him and he is going to be spending the night at his parents home." The man let us know.

"Oh my lord, thank you all so much! We are so grateful!" Tsumugi happily spoke and snatched the phone put of my hands.

"No problem, stay safe you two. The boy will return to campus tomorrow. I will call his school to report this." The police man asked us a few more things, regarding mental health, then hung up.

"Alright.. I'm relieved they found him.. I should head back to my own dorm now, it's late." Tsumugi smiled, then left my dorm.

Exhausted from worrying so much, I allowed myself to fall onto the couch. It wasnt long before I had fallen asleep there.

...

I woke up the next morning to being flicked in the head.

"Ow! What the-" I sat up to see what flicked me, to see a short, purple haired tsundere looking down at me as I layed on the couch, he had a large bruise on his cheek, but I was more focused on the fact he was alive.

"Kichi!" I quickly got off the couch and hugged him.

"Ow! Idiot!" Kichi winced in pain, and I immediately let go.

I looked down to see that Kichi had his arm in a cast, and it was being held up by fabric around the back of his neck.

"What happened?" I worried.

"I just fell." The boy walked around me and to his room.

I couldn't help but wonder if he was mad at me..
