☹︎Shuichi's POV☺︎︎
Am I really considering liking someone like Him?... I mean.. He's a liar-..
"Kokichi?."
"Mhm?..."
He wiped the tears from his face and looked up at me.
"Are you sure theres nothing wrong?.. I've been asking for awhile but now I'm more convinced something is happening..."
☹︎Kokichi's POV☺︎
Huh?. No- why is he asking, he isn't supposed to ask- does he care? Of course not, I'm a liar after all.. yeah, I'm just a liar, he doesn't care. He is just feeling pity for me, yeah. That's it. Pity. But, what if he does care for me? That'd be a first! But he doesn't care for me, never has, never will, I'm just a lying tag-along!
"Uhmmm... yeah, I'm fine. Stop asking-"
"You're not fine though, I can tell.. you're more.. quiet.. and seem less motivated for anything.."
PityPityPityPityPity!
"I'm. Fine. Okay?.."
"C'mon Kokichi... please dont lie right now.. I know that there is something wrong..."
He doesn't know! As long as I keep my act up he wont know!
"Mhm sure...."
Please help.
"I'll leave if you want-.."
No please don't leave me alone..
"No.. Don't."
Please stay here....
"Okay.. but please Kokichi.. Tell me whats happening with you, its obviously affecting your mental and physical health.."
"I don't want to."
Please Please Please Please Please Please Please...
"But I want to help you.."
"If you really are a detective you'll figure it out~"
I looked away from him, I didn't want him to see my expression, It might give away my act. He grabbed my hand and intertwined his fingers with mine. Making me look back up at him.
"Kokichi, tell me whats wrong."
"Heh, so demanding~ Like I said, Figure it out."
It felt like I was going to cry, no, I was going to cry.
"How am I supposed to figure it out?"
"I don't fucking know, just figure it out!"
I did it again. I let myself cry, genuinely cry infront of someone.
"I'm...Sorry-.."
"No-No-No-..... Do..n't be so-..Sorry....."
Shuichi pulled me into a hug, gently drawing shapes on my back with his fingers.
"Sorr-y I shouldnt be cr..y-..ing over this- its ju.. just-.."
"Its okay.. don't be sorry, You can cry, I wont judge you..."
He WILL judge me.
This is just a lie, yeah, I'm just gonna wake up and it will be normal.. its all a lie....
"Yo..u will though-...."
"No I wont.. I Promise."
Promises are always broken eventually.
᪥This isnt an "In game" fanfic, its a non-despair AU, so I'm not making in-game Kokichi a "Smol UWU bean 🥺🥺🥺❤️💞"(not that I'm making Kokichi in this fanfic like that either.). I felt like o needed to say that so theres no confusion. Anyways thanks for reading.᪥
