After Effects [oumasai]

~sleep~

Though it took awhile, as in a hour or so, I was able to get kokichi from out the bed. He seemed really shaky and scared to come from under there though.

What happened in the hanger must of really scared him..

I mean, he did get poisoned, shot, drained form blood and soon crushed....

There was a small blush on my face when kokichi had told me he didn't want to lose me. And if we was being honest, I didn't want to lose him either. And I'll help him as much as he needs it.

For the rest of the day, me and kokichi just sat down on the sofa watching a TV program . I let kokichi picked what we watched and he ended up picking impractical jokers.

As we sat down, Kokichi didn't dare to more from my side. I didn't blame him and I did also say I wouldn't leave him, so I really didn't mind. The small boy has attached his self to my arm and was sitting as close as he could to be. He was almost on my lap.

Every now and them I would hear small giggles and laughs come from kokichi. I didn't really understand it, but at least kokichi was smiling.

What seemed to worry me though was how kokichi thought he was back in the game... Trying to save us. It also confused me when before kaito... 'died' he said kokichi wanted to save all of us. While kokichi just admitted that he wanted me to be safe and not lose me.

So... Who was lying?

I was pulled out my thoughts as I felt kokichis grip around my arm grow tighter. I looked down at him, the boy was looking straight at the TV but had a scared expression on his face. When I looked over at the TV, I realised that it was was changed to the News somehow and was showing a tall woman wearing a mask walking around with bloodied weapons.

It's that killer....

Kokichi seemed really scared of the woman being shown. Even after everything we have been through, he was still scared? I gusse I can't blame him.

"kokichi?" I said, gaining his attention. He jumped and looked at me. His expression quickly changed but I could still see the fear he was hiding in his eyes... If that made any sense. "y-yes?" and fear was still showed in his voice. "you okay? You seemed spooked by the lady.." kokichi just started up at me for a few seconds, showing no emotion on his then his face showed a false smile and nodded his head frantically and let go of my arm. "shumai all worried about me? I'm the best I've ever been!!" kokichi gave me a large grin and cupped my face in his hands and went closer to me. " especially since I'm with you again!" there was a light blush on his face, and no doubt there was on my face too.

I lightly pushed him away from my face and I looked away from him. Kokichi smiled at me before Turing to face the TV again since the news had finished. Though he didn't leave my lap. He leaned back on me, and his eyes didn't leave the TV. Though i was now worries from what happened under the bed and from his clear fear of the woman.
Only about five minutes passed before I could make out light snors.

He really was tired.

I was still pretty surprised that he was already asleep it's it was only about seven in the evening. He had only been awake for three hours today...

But all the same I cearfully picked him up, making sure not to wake him up and carried him upstairs to the one of the spare bed rooms.

I cearfully placed him down on the bed before covering him with the duvets. I gusse in this situation it's a good job I have my own house. I stared at his sleeping form for a few seconds before removing myself from the room. As I closed the door I heard a small call come from kokichi.

I swear he was just fast asleep.

I opened the door again to find kokichi weakly sitting up. "w-where did you go?" he whisped, as I went back over to him. "sorry, i just thought you was asleep and wanted to be left." by the time I reached the bed, Kokichi looked shocked by my statement and rapidly shook his head. "N-no!" he stuttered, grabbing my hand "I w-want you to - sstay with me! Even if I'm a-asleep, okay?" he didn't let go of my hand, but it seemed he tried pulling me closer to him. However he seemed to be a lot weaker.

Was he this weak before the game?

If I remember, they they changed our personalitys, so he couldn't be this weak....

Im so confused, maybe he's lying.

But I doubt Kokichi would lie about this as serious as this..

I was so in though, I didn't feel kokichi pulling on my arm until he yanked it slightly harder to when he was pulling me. I smiled and came closer to him.

Kokichi than began going under the covers, soon trying to drag me under there with him. He didn't lie too close to me, be he linked our arms as he drifted off to sleep. I wasn't at all tired and could of probably sorted things out for the Christmas party we are having. But, if this made kokichi feel safe, I didn't mind this.

Once again, It didn't take long for the small snors to return to the boy. Even thought kokichi was once again asleep, I didn't dare to leave him. Just incase he woke up and anything happened to him, or he got scared.

I stared at the ceiling, doing nothing. I wasn't too sure how much time passed, but it seemed like forever. But after that forever, Kokichi began stiring in his sleep. I looked over at him and he looked scared, swear was going down his face and his movements was speeding up.

Looks like he's have a Nightmare-

I quickly moved over to him and lightly shook him awake. "kokichi.." I called to him as his eyes opened up and looked right at me. They widened and he jumped up from lying down. He than looked around, as if he was looking for something or he had forgotten where he was. He looked over back at me, sweat still going done his face. "you okay?" I asked, knowing he clearly wasn't.

To my surprise, he didn't try and lie. Instead he shook his head and came closer to me. He cuddled into me and I lightly placed my arms around him, as if he would brake by the smallest touch. My right hand stroked his head as the other stayed wrapped around him. We stayed like this for a while, while silent sobs came form the small boy.

What the hell happened to him since we came out if the game!?

"do you... Want to talk about it?" I asked quietly. He once again shook his head but stayed glued to me. "that's okay" I smiled. Even though I wished he would tell me so I could help him, I had to respect that to whenever he did want to tell me.

"shuichi...." he whispered after a few seconds of silence. I hummed and looked down at him. He didn't look at him though, his face was buried in my chest. "c-can I stay here...? Wi-with you...?" kokichi asked, holding on to my top.
"don't you wanna stay at home with your family?" I raised my eyebrow at him. And he weakly shook his head. "okay, you can stay here than"

Whatever the problem was, it was scaring him and I'm a way, breaking him...

From what I could tell anyway.
