☹︎Kokichi's POV☺︎︎

My face was drenched in my tears.
As soon as the bus came to a stop I stood up, Using the wall as support.
I walked out of the bus as I held Shuichi's hand, with blush covering the entirety of my face.
I skipped inside the mall with Shuichi, To be greeted by different stores everywhere.
I let go of Shuichi's hand and ran over to a store that was selling food and beverages.
I almost tripped on my feet multiple times
As I ran inside the store, I grabbed a box of Pockys and a bottle of Grape Panta.
I ran to the cash register, surprisingly nobody else was in line.
"Is this all?"
The woman who was sitting behind the desk asked, She had black hair in neatly done drills, with heavy eyeliner and red lipstick, she was wearing a black and white lolita dress with a red, black and white bunny purse, she looked my age too!
I nodded and smiled as she scanned the barcode on the items.

"Okay, good to go, have a good day... I guess-"
"Suuuureeee"
I said while walking out of the store, to see Shuichi standing there.
I ran towards him and jumped onto him, as he caught me on his arms.
I pulled out the Pockys and ripped open the packaging. I dropped one into my hand and stuck it into my mouth, I put the box back into my pocket and smiled.

I knew that my progress in not eating was... Interesting and somewhat worrying, and I did feel repulsed to eat all of this, but it wont make me gain weight.. Hopefully....

In moments like this its like nothing bad could ever happen, I'm just in this moment, this is me, no thoughts in my head, just the one person I loved more than anything else.

Shuichi was still holding me in his arms as he kissed me on the forehead. I laughed a little bit and jumped out of Shuichi's arms and smiled.
"I'll be right back!"
I said as I put on a grin and ran away from Shuichi. He tried yelling for me to stop but I didn't, I wanted to get him something amazingggg!!~

I slid into a store and quickly grabbed 'something' for Shuichi. As I was in line to get it checked out I heard a familiar voice call out from behind me.
"Oh Ouma?"
I shuddered and turned around shakily to see Kaede standing there.
I let out a small sigh of relief and gave her a mischievous grin.
"Oh hii Kay-Ay-Day!"
I purposely pronounced her name incorrectly to get her to fuck off.
"Uhm... Okay- Anyways.. Shuichi told me about you guys.. I'm happy for you..!"
She said with a slightly sad look.
"Oh... Well thank you..?"
I said, confused.

"Oh and, You and Shuichi are invited to my party! I'm gonna be throwing a party tonight at my house, I'll message Shuichi the details if you guys wanna come, there will be a pool and stuff and everyone in our class will be there!"
I nodded slowly with a hum.
"I'll ask him, thanks."
I turned back around and payed for my items.
When I was done I walked out of the store, and walked to Shuichi slowly.
"Hey, you okay?"
"Mmmm....yeah I'm just.... Thinking I guess.."
"Okay.."
Shuichi was doubting me.

They'll judge me though...
Kaito will be there...
Everyone...
All eyes.. On.... Me...
I will get beat up... I don't want to experience that...

I hadn't even realized that my breath was speeding up and my heart rate was as well.
I tried to take deep breaths but It was like I stopped mid breath, like I wasn't getting enough oxygen. I was scared, I am scared.
I clutched my hand over my chest and rubbed my eyes.
Soft muffled whispers were echoing around me, but all I could focus on was my thoughts.

No no
They will judge me...

After a few minutes My breathing became steadier.
I looked up at Shuichi with teary eyes and sniffled.
"I- are y-you p-p-proud of me..?"
"Of course... I'm so proud of you Kokichi."
