Post Game Au! ☆Saiouma☆ {Angst Slowburn}

Part 3 (Shuichi's pov)

After having a chat with Rantaro, who suddenly came by after a week of traveling, I feel energized.

He begun to talk to me about his travels, and then begun to clear his throat.
"Come on in."

I blink a bit to find a young, energetic girl. She had green hair and a huge smile on her face. Disbelief went through me.

"You.. FOUND one?" Was all I could mouth, the girl took a seat with me.

"She was living with my grandparents in Texas. Sadly, she doesn't know much about the other girls. They're all somewhere, I know it."

"Big bro finally found me! I'm so glad!"

I see her hug him, I see them bond. Her smile reminds me of Kokichi.

His unfake smile, a smile he actually enjoys.

A twinge of jealousy comes through me. I want to be like Rantaro.

He works so hard to find what he gets, I find clues that lead nowhere. He seems so happy now, ever since....

Yknow.

"Shuichi, you seem more gloomy then usual. Let's talk, have you found him yet?"

"No. not yet." I glance over to Rantaro's sister, who's happily fiddling with her drink.

"Well hey, you got this. I know most of us have given up, but I know he's out there if I can find my sister, you can find your boyfriend."

"B-boyfriend?!"

Laughter ensues. I feel a bit better now.

The clues I have are small, but today I'll be searching around that gas station. Perhaps I'll ask the person working there.

...

"Nothing?"

"Yes sir, I haven't seen him since. I only saw him walk in and look around. I honestly can't remember much."

"I see. Well thank you anyways. Did he come in by anything?"

"A black car, I think he was getting something to eat."

"Alright. I'll keep that in mind."

Marking off my notepad, there isn't much on it.

I take one look at the grape soda stacked neatly. I stand right in front of it. Im standing where he did.

Am I...

Am I in love?

No way I could. Hes done so much, but I forgive him. I can see him drinking the soda. I can see my bandage wrapped around his finger. I see the way he died...

I buy a grape soda.

Not for him, for us. One day ill find him and give him one too.

----

I found myself in my apartment again, watching the soda. I sigh, watching my computer. I scrolled thoroughly again, looking at pictures of Kokichi.

There's this one video I love.

Its of the ultimate supreme leader.

"Nishishi~ look at me now, world! You've turned me into this, now I have your crown JEWLS!"
He was on a rooftop at night, standing over a famous art exhibit. He took off his mask and grinned at the TV. For a split second, Shuichi saw pure happiness.

His organization was behind him, pulling him up a helicopter to run off.

He was glancing at a news camera. His pure purple eyes shining in the dark sky, lights of the city surrounding his figure, every part of Ouma was beautiful. His swept back purple hair and signature smirk.
