'Fuck-'

Was the only thought that ran through your mind. Seeing Kaede at your door almost broke you. You'd probably even laugh at your bad luck if you weren't on the verge of fainting. After a few seconds of regaining your sanity, you decided there were three options. One, try to hide kokichi and let Kaede in. Two, put Kokichi in the backyard and pray that he doesn't wake up until kaede leaves. Or three, give up and cry.

As much as you wanted to go with three, you couldn't. As satisfying as it would be, it wasn't worth it in the long run. One would be too risky for you and everything you worked for. Two would be the smart option, right?...

...So why couldn't you bring yourself to do it?...

You couldn't help but feel a twinge of frustration and disappointment in yourself as you began to quietly make your way from the door over to Kokichi. This was beyond risky and stupid to do, if she even caught a glimpse of him it'd be over. But you couldn't just leave him outside in the cold, bruised and half patched up. You guess this was how you could make it up to him for getting him so badly hurt. you didn't know why you cared in the first place

You picked Kokichi up on your back and tried your best to clean up any proof anyone besides you was there.

"I'll be there in a second!"

You silently hoped that yelling that would give you more time and it look less suspicious for taking so long. You hastily put the med-kit back and moved Kokichi to your room. As embarrassing as it was probably the safest place to put him for the time being. A long sigh escaped your mouth as you tried to prepare yourself for what situation you put yourself into.

Swallowing your anxiety you opened the door with a fake smile.

"Hey, kae-"

Before you could get any words out Kaede was in your arms.

'Huh?'

"Ka...Kaede?"

The only response you got was a whimper...

You felt something wet begin seeping into your night shirt. Kaede looked at you with tear filled eyes and a shaking frown. Out of all the things you expected this wasn't one of them. Never in a thousand years would you've thought Kaede Akamatsu, queen bee of hopes peak academy, would be crying in your arms at God knows what time. In your shock, you almost forgot about Kokichi entirely.

After a few moments of stunned silence, you lead Kaede over to your couch and sat her down. She trusted you enough to come to you, but even then you had no idea if you should ask about what happened.

"Uhm, Would you like some tea before we talked?"

As awkward as the sentence felt, it was the only thing you could say without any prior knowledge about what happened. Kaede woefully nodded, staying silent even when you parted from her to walk into the kitchen.

Once you were in the kitchen you took a breather and tried to gain your bearings. Kokichi was knocked out, halfed bandaged, in you room. Kaede came to you house, unannounced, and started crying... while looking into to the boiling water you couldn't help but wonder.
