Like Before (a pregame saiouma story)

Part 14

Warning, gay filler incoming

*Kokichi pov*

I watch sadly as I see Saihara get up. I knew he would have to leave sometime. I said goodbye and expecting him to leave. But he did something else.

He kissed me.

I was shocked. I was frozen. I was dumbfounded. I didn't know what to do. I mean yeah... I liked him. But I didn't want him to think that I hated him. He pulled away, and I quickly panic. I looked at his face; his almost upset expression was to much for me.

"Sorry, I jus thought-"

I quickly grab his shirt pulling him closer to me. This time I kissed him back. I could tell he was surprised, but he didn't hesitate.

I slowly released my grip on him as I pull away. He had a different look on his face this time. He looked... relieved.

It took me a couple seconds to realize what just happened. I just kissed Shuichi! I was having what was like a good panic attack. But I was still having a panic attack of some sort. I felt my face become so much more flushed than before. Saihara laughed abit.

"Heh, are you okay?"

"Y-yeah I'm, I'm okay..."

My voice quickly softens. I didn't know what I was supposed to say. I never really processed what happened until that moment. I did like Saihara but... I NEVER KNEW HE WOULD KISS ME!

I tried to calm myself down abit.

"Um Saihara, w-why did you kiss me?"

It was hard for me to understand why someone like him would like someone like... Me.

"By what everyone had told me. I was annoying, lying, mean. I guess you might of had feelings for me before but, you can't remember anything from before. But If you liked me the entire time. Why don't you hate me like everyone else. I mean even I would hate myself-"

Saihara suddenly puts his hand on my shoulder. I was suddenly brought out of my trance.

"Because Kokichi, I don't like you for someone else's standards and opinions about you. I just like you for who you are. I mean, based on everything you've told me. I'm surprised that you're as attached to me as you are. I'm just surprised that you like me."

I couldn't help but blush a little bit.

"I mean, I guess somethings changed for the better. We've both changed alot compared to who we use to be. But I guess if you accept me for me. Then I accept you for who you are now. "

Saihara gives me a warm smile.

"Thanks. Well... I guess I still have to leave. I would stay longer but... I don't want anyone to get to many ideas or anything."

"Alright, bye Saihara Chan."

I saw Saihara blush with a shy smile on his face. He then blows me a kiss, and walks out of my room.
