Slight mentions of shuichi x Kaede
Angst

I saved every letter you wrote me

Kokichi stood in front of shuichi holding a stack of envelopes tied together with a red string.

From the moment I saw you
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine

Kokichi thought that he was the happiest person alive when they got married. He thought that things had finally turned around, because he was marrying shuichi saihira.

I thought you were mine

Expect Shuichi wasn't his.

Do you know what Angelica said
When I told her what you'd done?
She said

Kiibo had turned towards kokichi, held him by the shoulders, tears dripping down his face he said

"You have married an Icarus
He has flown too close to the sun"

Tears flooded out from kokichi's heart when he read the newspaper.

Don't take another step in my direction

Shuichi steppes forward trying to redeem himself. However kokichi had been hurt too many times already, he was putting an end to it this time.

I can't be trusted around you

How many times had he been swayed over by shuichi's honeyed words.

Don't think you can talk your way
Into my arms, into my arms

How many times had he forgiven shuichi, and fell for him again.

I'm burning the letters you wrote me

Lighter pulled out kokichi lights it on fire.

You can stand over there if you want

Shuichi trues to walk closer, but then seems to think better of it.

I don't know who you are
I have so much to learn

When will kokichi learn that he'll never be happy and carefree, that Shuichi wasn't his to keep.

I'm re-reading your letters

How many times were the words " I love you " written in these letters? How many times had kokichi been lied to, by his beloved?

And watching them burn (burn)
I'm watching them burn (burn)

Flames licked up the pages, gobbling them whole. Tears fell freely down Kokichi's cheeks, as he thinks back to how happy he was to receive these letters.

You published the letters she wrote to you

It didn't matter these letters, kokichi told himself. After all if Kaede wrote Shuichi letters then Shuichi must have wrote back, or else why keep sending them to Shuichi.

You told the whole world
How you brought this girl into our bed

How many times did Shuichi tell her what was meant only for Kokichi's ears? How many times did Shuichi stab kokichi in the back without him knowing?

In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives

Never again could he reach that blissful ignorance and happiness. It was forever tarnished.

Heaven forbid someone whisper
"He's part of some scheme"
Your enemy whispers
So you have to scream
I know about whispers
I see how you look at my sister

Kokichi wasn't blind he knew, whenever kiibo and him were together Shuichi's gaze wasn't only on him. He knew about the letters they had exchanged, and he was not naive enough to believe that they didn't have feelings for each other.

Don't
Shuichi stepped forward trying to redeem himself. However kokichi wouldn't allow it.

"Shuichi," kokichi sobbed

I'm not naive
I have seen women around you
Don't

Once more Shuichi tried, but when will he learned kokichi was too broken at this point.

Kokichi continued his words,

Think I don't see
How they fall for your charms

All your charms

Shuichi was beautiful in every way. He was kind and gentle. Kokichi never once thought that Shuichi would hurt him, yet here they were.
No there was no more "they" now was there?

I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted
When you broke her heart

Emotions started to numb and fall away from his heart. Could he ever love anyone again or even feel happiness after all of this.

You have thrown it all away

What he thought was so precious thrown away carelessly m, that was what really killed him.

Stand back, watch it burn
Just watch it all burn

One by one the letters disappeared into ashes. Shuichi horror stricken at what he done stood still, slack jawed with agony.

And when the time comes
Explain to the children
The pain and embarrassment
You put their mother through

The pain, the suffering, the humiliation that he was not good enough.

When will you learn
That they are your legacy?
We are your legacy
If you thought you were mine (mine, mine)

His heart shattered, nothing was left expect for cold glass shards.

Don't

With that kokichi left leaving Shuichi alone to think things over.
