Description:Â The morning of their planned trip to Okinawa arrives! Watch them catch the train late because they were lazing about too much.Â
â------------â------------â------------â------------â------------â
Attempts at establishing a sleeping schedule for the prankster were a fruitless endeavour. Some nights heâd tucker himself out and drop dead in his day clothes, other times he was plagued by insomnia. Despite his love for sunbathing during the day he tended to act like a night owl, the reason why Shuuichi liked to compare him to a cat.
Tonight, he had fallen asleep late and woken early. Warm rays of sunlight tickled Kokichi awake. As was common, he found himself sprawled out on top of his beloved, limbs tangled and a faint line of drool seeping from the corner of his mouth. With a small groan he wiped the spit away and blinked his eyes open, before reality brought him to his senses.
Okinawa. Today, they were going to travel to Okinawa for a small vacation. Shuuichi had playfully stolen one of his habits and insisted on having won the lottery, which was why they could afford this trip â but Kokichi figured one of his clients at the agency had shoved a ridiculously huge paycheck down his throat. Although the detective worked for a living, he usually didnât accept extra payment. And yet, some people remained persistent.
Good. In Kokichiâs humble opinion, Shuuichi deserved the world.
â Good mooorning, sleepyheadâŚ~! â
Kokichiâs singsong voice reached Shuuichiâs ears. He woke up from his face being showered in butterfly kisses. The detective muttered something intelligible under his breath. Instead of opening his eyes, he chose to bask in the welcome affection and kept dozing.
Punishment came when Kokichi kissed his neck and blew raspberries on his skin.
â H-haaah!? K-Kokichi, donât-! Ahaha, stop it, stop! â
âWakey wakey, eggs and sin! Dontâcha dare oversleep. The alarm rang twenty minutes ago!â
â It⌠wait, twenty minutes!? â, Shuuichi exclaimed and shot up, panicked. Golden eyes sought the clock on their nightstand. Once his brain had processed the numbers, he groaned and turned to hide his head under the pillows. Kokichi laughed and shook Shuuichiâs shoulder, using his whole body for oomph.
â Oopsie! Did I forget to say that was a lie? NishishiâŚshishi⌠câmooon, itâs almost time. Do I gotta drag you out of bed, Tantei-sanâŚ? â
â Five more minutes⌠âÂ
Kokichi uttered a thoughtful hum and seemed to yield at Shuuichiâs plea. Lithe arms embraced the detective from behind and a nose nuzzled against his neck. Gentle kisses followed, ones that trailed down in entrancing lines that made warmth settle in the pit of Shuuichiâs stomach. He could easily soak like this for another hour, maybe more. The boisterous leaderâs caring nature gave room for touches so gentle they were almost addicting.
He sighed happily into the pillow and let himself relax. Kokichi drew lines across his chest until he felt ready to drift back to sleep. His fingertips wandered along Shuuichiâs exposed collarbones, over the fabric of his shirt, barely avoiding the sensitive spots there and sliding down, down, down⌠until they reached the hem of his-
â Ueee! â
Electricity shot through his body like lightning and Shuuichi sat up in a flash. His glare went ignored by Kokichi who cackled over the sound of the alarm. The detective swore he was about to pop a vein when he threw the covers back and slid out of bed. Â
â Aww, Shuumai! Are you just gonna ignore me? â
Shuuichi uttered an embarrassed huff. â D-donât surprise me like that! We donât have time. Iâm using the bathroom, Kokichi. â And as promised, he left the room as if in a rush.
Cute. Even after years of being together, he always managed to coax new reactions out of his beloved which he found so endearing. Kokichi smacked the alarm and got out of bed, making his way towards the kitchen. He felt much more energetic in the morning compared to his oh-so-salty dumpling, so it wasnât uncommon for him to make tea or coffee to lure the other out of bed. Today, it was going to be the latter. They preferred tea, but with todayâs endeavour it was smarter to go for strong caffeine. Especially since Kokichi was positive he wasnât going to rest once they arrived at the hotel. He wanted to hit the beach immediately. No time to waste, he had to explore!
They got to work. Once Kokichi finished making coffee, he set two mugs on their dining table. Shuuichi joined him in the kitchen and placed a kiss on his forehead, before whipping up breakfast. The pancake batter he prepared yesterday went in the pan, he cut up fruit and made scrambled eggs. No rice and miso soup as usual, today had to be special. Kokichi used the meantime to finish packing since he had been too engrossed in a book last night. As a finishing touch, he threw in a set of playing cards so they wouldnât get bored on the ride.
Twenty minutes later, they sat down and started eating. Kokichi tied up his hair in a makeshift ponytail and scrolled his phone while munching pancakes, one foot on the chair, one on the ground. Shuuichi sipped his coffee and went over a checklist one last time to ease his nerves and ensure they didnât forget anything. When a strand of hair slipped into Kokichiâs face, Shuuichi brushed it behind his ear. When the detective forgot to eat, the leader wordlessly fed him fluffy eggs.
Once Shuuichi felt less tired, they started making quiet conversation. Kokichi informed him of the weather in Okinawa and that someplace was going to host movies at the beach at night.
Neither of them ate breakfast often. Shuuichi had gotten into the habit thanks to Kaito, but Kokichi was different. The tiny prankster got tired when he ate in the morning and was now blinking at him all sleepy.
â Ew, Shuumai smells. Go take a shower, stinky. â
Shuuichi pouted. â My coffee... â
Kokichi reached out to steal the mug and placed it on his side of the table, before cradling the detectiveâs hands.
â Uh-huh, âcause you totes canât drink it later. Youâll feel better. â
He knew Kokichi was right. Out of habit, Shuuichi was about to reach for his mug once more, but his beloved wouldnât have it. The leader jumped to his feet, pulled him up and pushed him towards the bathroom.
â Iâm going, Iâm going! You donât gotta shove me â, he sounded exasperated, but Shuuichi couldnât help chuckle softly when the other didnât resign. â Join meâŚ? â
â Eeehhh? Shuumai wants to shower together⌠naked!? Pervert, pervert! I bet you wanna do something dirty! â
At the doorframe, Shuuichi turned and caught Kokichiâs hands with a blush.
â Youâre the one who shoved his hands in my- â
â Right, right â, Kokichi cut him off, â Thatâs what they all say. âI didnât mean to touch your hand with my dick!â Anyway, I showered last night and Iâm gonna get sweaty anyway. â
Shuuichi squeezed his hands. The way he unconsciously batted his lashes at him with hope shining in his eyes was simply unfair.
â Please? I want to wash your hair, Kokichi⌠â
He hesitated. Kokichi pursed his lips and tried to hide the shade of pink creeping up his face. After a moment of silence, he puffed his cheeks.
â Fiiine. Iâm first! â
â Ah, wait-! â
Nothing lewd happened - aside from Kokichi smacking his belovedâs butt and sticking out his tongue like a brat. Shuuichi made good on his word and they washed each otherâs hair, scrubbed their backs, and pecked wet lips. When Kokichi demanded that he clean the gaps between his toes with a little more devotion, he decided to leave the shower. Kokichi laughed and shrugged it off. They got dressed in light clothes, though the leader didnât pass on his favourite accessory.
â Ah, Kokichi⌠your scarf. â
â Hm? â
Diligent as ever, Shuuichi straightened the checkered fabric so it sat right around his neck. Once finished, he examined his work and gave a content nod.
â Like this⌠eh? â When their eyes met, he struggled to interpret his boyfriendâs stare. Kokichi looked up to him with curious awe, although nothing special had happened. â Whatâs wrongâŚ? â
Small hands grabbed onto his shoulders. Kokichi got to the tip of his toes and placed a kiss on his cheek, their bodies close. His answer was akin to a purr.
â Youâre so cute when youâre focused like that⌠â
Shuuichi knew he was the only one who ever heard him speak like this. Pure and unabashed in his fondness. A hushed confession, for his ears only.
He felt himself melt a little on the inside, but all that came out of his mouth was a choked wheeze. Kokichi chuckled and got back to his feet.
â Câmon, câmon! We gotta go for reals now. If we miss the train, Iâm gonna cry. I mean it. Uwaaah, our super cheesy honeymoon, ruined! Itâs all your fault, Shuu- mph! â
Kokichi was shut up by Shuuichi shoving a hand in his face. With a flustered grimace, he decided it was time to put on his shoes. Right⌠he got to his knees. Once he was half-way through tying a bow, his heart leapt in his throat. He almost choked.
Honeymoon⌠if this were their honeymoon, then-
â Eek! Shuumai, hurry! Five minutes, hurry! â
Torn out of his rose-coloured fantasy, Shuuichi yelped and finished his work. It took five seconds to check for keys, purse, and suitcases, as well as making sure Kokichi hadnât lied â which for once, to his great disappointment, wasnât the case. They rushed out the door, the pitter-patter of their feet hasting down the street.
They made it last second. Right when they jumped through the doors into the subway, they closed shut behind them. Kokichi and Shuuichi looked at each other with equal relief. That was all it took for the prankster to break out in laughter.
Perhaps in the past he would have been embarrassed, but now Shuuichi couldnât help but join. They were caught in momentary glee and weird looks didnât matter. It was okay with Kokichi around.
With Kokichi around, everything was okay.
â Nee, Shuu-chan⌠â
Time passed until they boarded the train to the airport. Kokichi was sitting across from him and reached out to hold his hand. Once he had caught his attention, he drew invisible words on his palm.
Shuuichiâs eyes lit up. He shaped a silent reply with his lips for the other to read.
â I love you, too. â
Kokichi hid his face in his scarf. Even if he tried to hide it, Shuuichi caught on to the heat that coloured the tip of his ears.

⌠Setting Sail âŚ
Happy Birthday to my Teddy Kay! ⼠@frauleinjusticeâ I thought youâd like some fluffy feels with the boys. Enjoy!
Shipping: Oumasai
Setting: Phantom Thief/Detective AU

Posted: 07.07.20
Description: Theyâve fallen for each other, but now that Shuuichi dared to get his hopes up, Kokichi sent him a letter as a goodbye message. Bewildered and confused why heâd suddenly want to leave and effectively end their rivalry, the detective chases after his favourite thief once again!
â------------â------------â------------â------------â------------â------------â
Simple words had brought him here. Rows of letters strung together in an attempt to make sense, yet he had been unable to comprehend the words written. â Why would you go? â, Shuuichi kept asking himself over and over as he read the thiefâs farewell message. Something about his job being done, the boredom driving him elsewhere.
The bitterness hidden between the lines revealed them to be lies.
â Ouma-kun! â
Pale fingers were outstretched as he tried to catch up to him. His heart pounded hard against his ribcage and his breath came ragged, strained from his continued running in the cold. He had carelessly pushed people aside and was followed by complaints, but the hand he craved desperately to hold was so close. Just a little moreâ
â What do you think youâre doing? â
His hand was slapped away. Kokichi had spun on his heels, luggage in one hand and a silent threat in the other. Lavender eyes met gold. The thiefâs brows were knit together in frustration and his gaze was piercing, as if Shuuichiâs presence were nothing but an eyesore. He felt petrified, helpless.
â I ask for one favour and this is what I get? Honestly, youâre nothing but a disgrace. I thought you respected me, but it seems I was wrong â, Kokichi spat harsh words at him, each syllable dripping with annoyance. Yet, he had stopped walking.
People were staring but Shuuichi didnât care. The salty winds coming from the sea were biting and he struggled to catch his breath.
â You canât go! â, Shuuichi called out. He wanted to grab his wrist but hesitated, fearing Kokichi might slip through his fingers if he tried, losing purchase. â Weâre not finished! â
â I told you Iâm leaving because we are. Youâre not even doing your job right. Where are the handcuffs, hm? â Kokichi never rejected him. â Iâm a little busy, as you can see, so can you kindly fuck off? â He never would with sincerity.
Shuuichi had to believe. If he wanted to convince him, then he had to give it his all. No unnecessary emotions, but solid arguments. He shook his head. Realisation had kindled a flame in his eyes strengthened his resolve.
â No. Thatâs wrong â, words that visibly infuriated Kokichi, but he continued. â Iâm not here for work. We may be enemies, but⌠today Iâm here as your friend. â The thief snorted and threw his hands in the air as if he wasnât taking him seriously. It irked him, but he reminded himself not to falter.
â Friends? Youâre making me laugh! Did you think our connection meant something? If thatâs the case, poor Mr. Detective must be delusional! â, Kokichi taunted him with the bravado of a master thief such as himself. â I acknowledge your competence, which is why I sent you that letter â thatâs it. If youâre looking for a tragic reunion, Iâm notâ â
â I care! Iâm doing it because I care for you, Ouma-kun! When will you get it through that thick skull of yours? â, his sentenced trailed off into a hiss, far too emotional for his taste. It was hard to force it down. â Because⌠even if Ouma Kokichi is an insufferable, arrogant, know-it-all criminal, Iâd chase you to the ends of the worldâŚ! â
His heart skipped a beat. He expected to get a reply but wound up with none. Oppressive silence lingered between them. Despite the tension, Shuuichiâs shoulders slumped and the heat rose to his cheeks, painting them a rosy colour. Dammit. He didnât want to say it like this. Kokichi was looking back at him with wide eyes and no emotion visible whatsoever. Just... waiting. Was he waiting? They stared at each other. Shuuichi couldnât take it any longer.
â Ah... are you doubting me? â, he asked. Instead of anger, sadness stained his tone. â Itâs fine, but⌠Iâm telling the truth. So hear me out. â He clutched at his heart and felt tears pricking the corners of his eyes. â If Ouma-kun leaves, it wonât be the same... when I said I wonât be able to keep my position, this isnât what I meant. I donât want you to go. I want you to stay, more than anything! Iâm just worried weâll be forced to... forced to end this. Whatever game it is weâre playing. â
Before he got a chance to continue, Kokichi finally answered. Shuuichi expected his response to be dismissive yet was surprised with how gentle his voice sounded. Soothing and honest. Vulnerable, almost.
â Because Saihara-chan isnât showing results...? Because youâll be taken off my case, is that it? But... if I go, you wonât have to worry about silly things like that. â
Thatâs when he realised. Right now, Kokichi wasnât scared of being near â he was doing him a favour. Preventing the worst-case scenario before it became a possibility, planning ahead as always. It was typical and yet he had been so blind...
â Canât we come up with something together? â
Shuuichi stepped closer. The tension seeped from Kokichiâs body and his bony hands slacked. The detective dared to grasp one of them carefully. Their touch was warm like a crackling fireplace in the middle of an icy winter. He was welcome here.
â ...youâre worried, arenât you, Ouma-kun? But... itâs worth it. To me, it is. Iâll prove it. â He laced their fingers together in a silent, sickeningly sweet promise. Kokichi swallowed hard but let go of the bag in his other hand. It hit the ground with an uncomfortable thud, which went ignored by the two. â Canât you stay a little longer? Iâd love that more than anything. â
â I⌠â, the thief hesitated. With his eyes downcast, Kokichi took a step back. He shouldnât be doing this. It was irrational. And yet, when he dared to glance at Shuuichiâs eyes, the fondness he saw felt like an arrow that struck his heart. Right where it hurt the most, right where it healed the most. He felt himself melt into the inviting warmth. The taller man noticed his inner struggle and encouraged him.
â You donât have to reply right away, Ouma-kun. But, if you could reconsider⌠itâd mean something. â
It knocked the air out of Kokichiâs lungs. A cold breeze reminded him of the heat that warmed his cheeks. Finally, he dared to step closer. One step, two steps, until Shuuichi opened his arms wide to offer an embrace. It was an invitation, nothing more than that.
He took it. He cut the distance between them and a dam of emotions broke inside his heart, flooding his body with a deep-seated longing. Kokichi wrapped his arms around him tight and Shuuichi returned it. Both held onto one another as if their life depended on it.
â Thank you⌠â
The words left Kokichiâs lips in a whisper. Shuuichiâs body shook against him with a relieved chuckle as he nuzzled purple strands of hair. The luggage had been forgotten and so was the ship that set sail in the distance. A decision like this was too heavy to make overnight.
Maybe they were meant to fare together instead.
â Thank you, too⌠â

Description: Class 79 has graduated and are now celebrating Oumaâs birthday shortly after by hosting a surprise party. Thereâs games and karaoke, but most of all, Ouma wants to thank whoever came up with the idea. The future looks brighter than ever before!
â------------â------------â------------â------------â------------â------------â
â I place the Knave of Swords face down in defence mode and end my turn. â
â Nyeh⌠Ouma. Iâm reading your fortune, you canât- is that YugiohâŚ? Youâre making fun of meâŚ! â
Himiko turned the card he had placed on the table, only to reveal a trap card that had nothing to do with this. Before she could complain further, he had already jumped to his feet with a toothy grin on his face. The movement carried so much energy that he almost knocked the makeshift paper crown with plastic rhinestones off his head.
â Ouma, weâre going for another round! You coming or what? â
â Wait for meee! â
As quickly as his feet could carry him, he made his way across the gym packed with all students of HPAâs 79thâs class. When he arrived in front of the large projector screen, his eyes met Kaitoâs. The astronaut shoved a microphone into his hands, and he looked at Kokichi with a grin so bright even the stars might have turned green with envy. Upbeat music filled the hall with a merry melody and the lyrics started running.
â Hakuna Matata⌠what a wonderful phrase! Hakuna Matata, ainât no passing craze! â
It was post-graduation. Their years at Hopeâs Peak had raced by at the speed of light. Against his own expectations, Kokichi had made friends. Some of them where the people he expected to befriend the least, but he had no regrets. Everyone had a habit of cursing him out, getting angry with him for his pranks or doubting him for the colourful lies he spouted.
But looking at the shining party decorations, the large buffet and the hall filled with delighted chatter and people who had grown to care for him, maybe opening up just a bit had paid off. These years had been full of laughter. Today was their final show and he stood amidst it all, their main man, their leading character.
â Câmon, câmon! When are ya gonna tell me who did this, huh? You canât hide it from me, I can see through all of your lies! â, he dug for an answer with big, curious eyes.
â Shut up, dipshit! How am I supposed to know? I only came âcause itâs annoying as hell to see you cry. Whatever, did ya tried the cake Akamatsu made? Moist as fuck, sweeter than a buncha virgins! â
Miu avoided his question even after she had given him a present. It was a self-made, remote-controlled helicopter. Flashy colours, too. He loved it.
â Gontaaa, Iâm at a loss⌠I wanna thank you guys so bad⌠but I just canât figure it out! Pleeease tell me? Pwetty pwease? â
âNo can do! Gonta has promised to keep quiet about the secret. Sorry! But letâs have fun instead! I brought a present too!â
Although he winded up with no answer again, the carefully crafted friendship bracelet the gentle giant placed in his hands was so godawfully cheesy, he almost teared up right then and there. Threading something so delicate with these huge hands mustâve been so hard.
He never ever wanted to take it off.
Still, onto the next round.
â Donât even ask. Anyway, just⌠take this. Pretend this never happened or Iâll straighten your spine with a hot iron. â
Kokichi had frozen solid and accepted the present Maki handed him.
â Yâknow, itâs kinda rude to give death threats on someoneâs birthday â, he mused as he unwrapped the small package. â âŚthanks, Harukawa-chan! â
Admittedly, that nail polish was a rich shade of violet he instantly adored. He didnât anticipate that she put thoughts into things like these, but he liked it.
Of course, he had a good guess who truly might have set up this party for him. Though there was a certain joy to badgering everyone as he played pranks on them, smothered them with silly jokes and probed for their reactions. But the people he was closest to, he could guess that one of them had set up this whole surprise party deal. While it was an annual tradition for him to celebrate with DICE once midnight struck, he had partied with others outside of his organisation as well.
Nonetheless, this was⌠special. Unique. The stuff for unforgettable memories.
â Ouma-kunâŚ! Are you having fun? â
A gentle voice reached his ears as he stood near the buffet. When he turned to face the person, he did so with a smile â Shuuichi stood before him, in a white dress shirt and colourful streamers dangling from his shoulders. Kokichi had put them there, to decorate the biggest present.
â Shuumai, Iâm so bored! Having to pretend all dayâs so exhausting⌠I wanna take a break! â, he whined and clung to Shuuichiâs sleeve while rocking back and forth on his feet, impatiently. Right after surprise had crossed the detectiveâs features, they smiled knowingly at each other. Today, even Kokichi couldnât keep up the act for long.
â Oh, I see. Would you like me to cancel things and send everyone h- â
â Donât you dare! This is the most fun Iâve had all my life! â The detective was rudely interrupted but didnât seem to mind. Instead, Shuuichi uttered a soft chuckle behind slender fingers. Kokichi felt his heart leap.
â âŚyou did it, right? Saihara-chan planned all this⌠right? â
âAhâŚâ, the taller boy hadnât expected to be asked this soon, it seemed. Golden eyes reflexively flitted aside and avoided him before the detective gathered the courage to meet Kokichiâs inquisitive gaze. â âŚwell, yes. But it wasnât just me! I got help and- â
â Who was it? â, Kokichi asked with genuine curiosity, â Youâll tell me, right? â
Seconds passed in silence while Shuuichi gazed at him, taking in the foreign expression on the leaderâs face. His words sounded genuine, laced with a sincere longing for the truth. A sign of trust. Shuuichiâs gaze softened and he leant closer to murmur the answer into his ear.
â Momota-chan!? â
â N-not so loud, geez! â
Kokichiâs mouth stood agape as he stared at him in disbelief. But there was no sign of a lie on the otherâs face. Against Shuuichiâs expectations, Kokichi perked up on the spot once realisation settled in.
â You mean it? He did!? He didnât just tag along because you asked him to? â
â Yeah. Are you really that surprised or are you just pretending? â, Shuuichi asked, honestly eager for an answer. The relieved smile on Kokichiâs lips was dazzling and slightly overdrawn. Or had he really not anticipated that turn of eventsâŚ?
â Nuh-uh, I mean it! I thought Momo-chan haaates my guts. Iâm glad he isnât trying to kill me on my birthday. Otherwise Iâd have to call an ambulance⌠but not for me! â
â I heard my name? Yâknow, âs rude talkinâ about people behind their back. If ya got something to say to me, spit it out! â
Both boys turned towards the one who had joined in on their conversation. Kaitoâs voice sounded booming, just like his presence, which demanded everyoneâs undivided attention. The clash between him and Kokichi was amusing, but perhaps this was exactly why they ended up getting along despite their many differences.
â Hiyeeeh! Iâve been caught, Iâve been caught! I didnât do anything wrong ever in my entire life! â Not unlike a cornered animal, Kokichi squirmed under Kaitoâs gaze. The astronaut placed a broad hand on his head and started ruffling his hair furiously, which only caused the prankster to utter another high-pitched whine. â Mercyyy! â
â Go easy on him, Momota-kun. Iâd prefer not to wipe any tears, for once â, Shuuichi mused with a small smile on his lips. It prompted a laugh out of the other before he finally let go of their gremlin.
â Yeah, yeah. Anyway, you havinâ fun? Everyone worked hard to make this party great, so you better appreciate it! â
Kokichi smiled at their enthusiasm. Yeah, that was right. Maybe they had instigated it, but the surprise was the fruit of everyoneâs hard labour. A few years ago, he would have never considered this possible. People caring enough, people minding enough, people wanting to go out of their way for him. He wasnât quite sure how to handle it at all.
But, looking at the bright smiles on Shuuichiâs and Kaitoâs faces, he felt confident enough to let loose, just a little bit.
â Mmh. Iâm having fun. I mean it! Besides, youâll have to deal with me from now on â, Kokichi spread his arms wide and puffed out his chest at his declaration, â As the Ultimate Supreme Leader, my journey has only just begun. So I need you two to work even harder. Nishishi⌠Iâll never stop pestering you and thatâs a promise! â
For whatever reason, he received no answer. Both boys stared at him in a mix of awe and disbelief. Sure, he wanted all their attention to be on him, but this was just awkwardâŚ! Had he said something wrong?
â Geez, earth to Momota-chan, earth to Saihara-chan! At least say something to my bold declaration. I just proposed a peace treaty, dammit! â
â R-right. Sorry⌠Iâm just really happy. That means weâll stay friends, right? â Shuuichi had snapped out of his trance and nodded. Affection kindled a gentle spark in his golden eyes. â âŚno. Iâll make sure of it. I care for you, Ouma-kun. Thereâs⌠a lot I donât know about you yet, but I wonât give up on seeing the real you. â
Kaito picked up on his words with a confident grin on his face.
â My sidekickâs right! Youâre a huge pain in the ass sometimes, Ouma. But, uh⌠I guess youâre our pain in the ass. Right? â
Kokichi blinked, before wheezing giggles escaped his lungs. With one arm wrapped around his stomach and one rubbing away the welling tears, he uttered a hearty laughter. One he could neither hold back nor wanted to.
â PâŚpfft haha! I canât believe you. Have you guys always been this cheesy? Geez! â
â Oooi oi oi! I was trying to be nice, dammit! Appreciate it, you gremlin! â
Shuuichi joined in on Kokichiâs laughter, prompting Kaito to look back and forth between them, scandalised. Right when he was about to complain further, the situation caught up to him and he gave up on playing the part. No use pretending right now. All three of them were happy to be here today.
â âŚShuumai. Momo-chan. â
Something about Kokichiâs smile changed. It mellowed, giving way to the crinkling and fond glow of lavender eyes that spoke of sincerity. It was surprisingly gentle for someone usually so boisterous.
Perhaps that was what made it so rewarding. As if someone had caught a little ray of sunshine in a bottle and gifted it to them, for the kindness of it.
â Thank you. â
Their time at Hopeâs Peak Academy had come to an end. When he reached out to embrace them and was squeezed tight into a hug, he knew for certain that this was only the beginning of a bigger journey.
Ouma Kokichi could lie about a lot.
But he couldnât lie about the warmth of his hands.

âLetâs fix this.â
Lavender eyes gazed upon the band aid wrapped around his finger. Years in the past, a cut had graced his left index. Now, the patch was secured around one of his pale fingers like a ring. Sitting on the broad windowsill with his back against the wall, Kokichi watched as golden rays of sunlight made his nail polish glimmer. It was a dark purple shade, reminiscent of amethysts, one that Shuuichi had complimented him on. As they had grown older, both decided to express themselves more freely. It was a gift they had bestowed upon themselves, one that came in a vast palette of colours.
Back then, everything had been drenched in stoic grey, contrasting the sickening colours of blood and neon. Their bodies had been sleeping, kept alive by strange machines and losing muscle with the passage of time. When Kokichi had consciously breathed again for the first time, his legs had failed him, the tears dribbled down his cheeks and searing pain threatened to conquer his heart. A broken reality and a broken will had clashed down on him, ones that left him crushed below the burden of his guilt. Those words, full of determination and kindness, resounded in his ears to this very day.
âLetâs fix this. Letâs fix this, Ouma-kun. I know itâs late, but⌠I accept your request. Letâs work together.â
A nostalgic smile adorned his lips as he played with the sleeve of his sweater. Years ago, he had been ashamed of showing weakness, of revealing the marks he carried on his body. But now that he had grown, he carried them like battle scars, proud and unrelenting. What slumbered below the peaceful facade of their home, the green branches of herbs and flowers and the welcoming warmth of fuzzy blankets was the fiery determination to live, like plants taking root and forcing their tender heads through the cracking asphalt.
âHere you go.â
To his own surprise, he hadnât heard the detective approach. His gaze locked onto the steaming mug of tea Shuuichi offered him and he accepted it gracefully. With his own mug in hand, the taller man sat down alongside him on the windowsill. Fading sunlight cast shadows upon the room. Shuichiâs sun-kissed skin stole his breath, before he managed to tear his eyes from the sight of his beloved. The liquid comfort in his hands warmed his palms. Kokichi inhaled deeply as the tea filled his lungs with the fragrance of vanilla and roses.
âIs this your new favourite or are you doing me a favour, Shuu-chan?â
Shuuichi curiously tilted his head, before he gave a soft chuckle. A strand of raven hair fell into his forehead and Kokichi reached out to brush it behind his ear. It felt smooth.
âHmm, maybe both⌠you look peaceful drinking it, Kokichi. I love seeing you smile.â
âHelp, my boyfriend is trying to seduce me! Oh, wait, I forgotâ, Kokichi snickered and shifted on the spot before setting down his mug. They were sitting directly in front of the tall glass panes, an amazing view they had indulged in many times since moving here. He draped the snow-white blanket over both of them, before knocking their shoulders together in a playful gesture. âShuumai always has to make doubly sure he canât make me any more gay.â
A tender shade of red dusted Shuuichiâs cheeks as he huffed, albeit in embarrassment. Nonetheless, a smile snuck on his lips right after. The detective returned the gesture and rested his head atop Kokichiâs.
âI-Itâs only fair. You do it all the timeâ, he retorted, though it lacked oomph, âI canât let you do all the work on your own⌠right?â
Kokichi gingerly shook his head against him and closed his eyes shut.
âYou gotta take a break sometimes. Shuumai always works waaay too hardâŚâ
âMmhâ, Shuuichi gave an affirmative hum, for he had read between the lines. Today was their day off, a time reserved to bask in each otherâs presence and let go of the stress of their daily lives. Kokichi pondered how different things had turned out to be. Never had he expected that someday he would embrace the quieter sides of life â but he was glad to have given them a chance, for they were the happiest he had ever experienced. Alongside Shuuichi, there was nothing that could bore him. His presence cast a gentle glow on all things ordinary, shedding a new light upon them, just like the detective he was.
Silence lingered in the room as they held each other warm and shared tea. Kokichiâs breathing slowed as he let his gaze wander. Small pots with plants and flowers lined the space next to the windows, arranged so theyâd allow a small seating area on top of the windowsill. They had hung up fairy lights and placed cushions to sit on. Despite living in such a busy city, the view was marvellous. The sun gleamed against the skyscrapers and tall mountains in the distance, casting its evening glow across the land. An eternity seemed to pass as gold slowly melted into rich shades of purple, giving room to the starry night sky. A hand full of clouds hung above, yet the stars still managed to peak through alongside a crescent moon.
âKokichiâŚâ
He blinked when Shuichiâs voice tore him out of his thoughts. It was rare for him to get distracted despite saying nothing. He gave a questioning hum.
âIâve⌠been thinkingâŚâ, Shuichi started, with gentle sincerity in his voice, âIâd like to spend our lives together.â
Ah. He didnât expect that. Kokichi shuffled to look at him. When he cupped Shuichiâs chin, the detective met his gaze head on as if trying to showcase his honesty. The gears started spinning inside Kokichiâs mind, putting together the pieces.
ââŚare you surprised?â
There was something unnerving at how easily Shuichi could read him by now, despite him not having said a word. Kokichiâs eyes flitted back and forth between his lips, his eyes, his palm resting against Shuichiâs cheek. It was as if he were trying to find fitting words in the otherâs expression, but it turned out to be a struggle nonetheless.
âNoâ, he lied, only to correct himself, ââŚyes. I didnât think Shuumai wants it.â
Shuichiâs gaze softened in an instant and he reached out to cup the hand resting on his cheek. After nuzzling it, he pressed a featherlight kiss to his palm. It caused Kokichiâs breath to hitch.
âI do. At this point, I canât imagine a life without you. You⌠donât have to answer right away. I just wanted you to know.â
Shuichiâs confession did a number of things to him. He swallowed thickly as his stomach twisted, before heat rose to the tip of his ears. Commitment was scary. Being tied down, being vulnerable, being known. But as he kept gazing into those longing, golden eyes, he grew breathless. Yes, a voice inside his mind urged him, I want you, Iâve always wanted you.
Kokichi willed himself to tell the truth, just this once.
âIâve never trusted anyone with my life, ever. Since⌠sinceâŚâ, his words trailed off and so did his mind, but Shuichi was quick to press another kiss to his palm. ââŚbut I wanna. If itâs you, thenâŚâ
Something inside of him crumbled. Perhaps his desperation had shown in his eyes, since Shuichi drew him into a heartwarming kiss that sent pleasant shivers down the curve of his spine. Kokichi melted against those velvety lips. Once he had wrapped his arms around Shuichiâs neck, he pulled him closer for a row of kisses that made both of them sigh in content.
âIâll treasure it. I promise.â
He had never been so ready to blindly trust someoneâs words.
Kokichi brushed a strand of hair out of Shuichiâs face, before he nestled their foreheads together. But the detective wasnât done, for he added something else in a quiet, meek voice.
âBack then, I⌠I wanted to die.â
It hurt. Hearing that, it was like needles piercing through his skin. But he knew.
âBut Shuuichi doesnât feel that way anymore, does he?â
A tear escaped his golden eyes, one Kokichi managed to catch just in time. He held him close as he caught the salty droplets rolling down his cheeks and kissed his forehead as if to heal his pain. Relief washed through him when Shuichi shook his head, despite the fact he knew. Things had changed for the better, but it never failed to ease his nerves.
âNo, I donât⌠itâs because now, I look forward to tomorrow. Because everyoneâs here, because Kokichi is⌠I love you so much, Kokichi.â
âIâll make every day worthwhile. Thatâs a promise.â
Despite being teary-eyed, the smile Shuuichi offered him was dazzling. There was nothing better than summoning a smile on those lips when he needed it most. He mirrored it and they shared another kiss in silent understanding.
âI love you too, Shuumai⌠I wanna try⌠â, Kokichi added before hugging him tight, their hearts beating close to one another.
âYou make me so happy, Kokichi. So happyâŚâ, Shuuichi accentuated this with a tiny kiss to his nose and smiled, âIâll do my best, too.â
The young leader couldnât help but break out into a toothy grin when he took his hand.
âMh! Together it is. I always wanna be with my beloved, after all!â

Ooo, could I request smth super cute? First kiss prompt!! Maybe the scenario could be... they were chasing each other, just having a fun time!! Shuichi pounces Kokichi down onto the bed, and... seeing their faces are so close to each other, in the heat of the moment.... he leans in to give him a kiss... âĽ
đ Send me a request! đShipping: OumasaiWord Count: 780Note: I made this really gay since I know you like it that way. Enjoy! âĽ
âIâm not going back to jail!â
Shuichiâs sides were starting to burn from running aroundand laughing his lungs out. His and his uncleâs home wasnât too spacious, butKokichi made up for it with his lithe body. Maybe it was unexpected to seeShuichi like this - with a dazzling smile on his face and play fighting withsomeone like Kokichi out of all people, chasing him. But to him, it made sensemore than anything else. It only took a blink of an eye and they were foolingaround with each other. That was just how easily Kokichi lifted his spirits andeases his worries.Â
âYou wonât escape me this time, Ouma-kun! Donât you-wheh!âÂ
Just when his arms shot forward to wrap themselves tightaround the prankster, Kokichi side-stepped him and briefly tickled his sides.Though when he spun on his heels to get revenge, Kokichi had already jumped onhis bed. Bouncing up and down with a toothy grin on his face, he shook hissmall fists in excitement.Â
âCatch me, catch me! Câmon, câmon!â
Shuichi caught his breath and gaped at him, before hesteeled his nerves and stepped on the bed. For a long moment their eyes lockedonto each other. The intensity summoned prickling tension between them, thecalm before the storm. Shuichi took the initiative to step closer, trying toget the best of him. He only caught a glimpse of a smirk on Kokichiâs lips ashe twisted his body to escape his grasp, which sent Shuichi stumbling on themattress. Attempts were made, all failures.
Though when Shuichi changed his tactic and grasped thehem of his shirt instead, Kokichi lost balance and fell face forward. Hesqueezed his eyes shut and braced his arms for the impact, struggling to turnonto his back immediately.
âGot you.â
âHuh?â
Shuichiâs palms were pressing down on Kokichiâsshoulders, pushing him into the mattress. As both were catching their breath,Kokichiâs mouth stood agape in shock. This was probably the first time he had managedto catch him during one of their games. Not that he minded, but thisâŚ
âMy, my. Shumaiâs sure feeling bold today, isnât he? Whatare you gonna do to me next, huh?â
Shuichiâs brows furrowed before his ears heated up inrealisation. He was hovering above and pinning him down on his shoulders, ofcourse Kokichi was going to make a joke about it. As if to deny the verypossibility, he violently shook his head. But he didnât let go.
âTh⌠thatâs not it at all! âŚbut, Icaught you, just like I promised. Thatâs what you wanted, right?â
âEhhh⌠I donât know about thatâŚâ, Kokichi hummed as hesmiled up to him, neither confirming nor disagreeing with it. His heart waspounding in his chest, not only from exhaustion, admittedly.
Shuichi was so pretty like that. His eyes shone in agentle, golden shade. Thick lashes stood against his cheeks and dishevelled,raven hair framed his heated face perfectly. Their breaths calmed down inunison and Kokichi realised they were still staring at each other. Gazingat each other, without saying a word. He realised he could do this all day.Just looking at someone, being with someone in silence, without being boredâŚ
âAh.â
When he awoke from his dreamy trance, their faces weremuch closer than before. The grasp on Kokichiâs shoulders was gone. Shuichiâs warmbreath tickled his skin and sent a pleasant shiver down his spine. Hesitantly,he wrapped his arms around his back⌠and gave an almost unnoticeable nod whenShuichi glanced at his lips. As if they were something precious, not to be touchedby anyone unworthy. As if he were the sun himself.
That was impossible though. When their lips finallytouched in a careful, experimental caress, Kokichi felt like he was melting. Hisheartbeat leapt in his throat when he leaned in to reciprocate and his eyes hadfallen shut to enjoy the moment. Maybe it wasnât going to last long. Maybe notâŚbut Shuichiâs soft lips against his own felt endless.
Shuichi had pulled back, but their lips were stillhovering next to each other. Kokichi decided to be courageous and threaded hisfingers through his dark hair.
ââŚShumaiâŚâ
ââŚKokichi.â
His name. Shuichi had never used his given name before.Especially not like that. When their foreheads touched, a shaky exhale left Kokichiâslips. They were gazing into each other as if trying to unravel what lay beforethem.
âI love you, KokichiâŚâ
ââŚShuichi.â
A smile tugged on Shuichiâs lips. When he leaned in tokiss him once more, he knew that was answer enough.

"Sorry im sick on valentines day..." WITH SAUOUMA AND KOKICHI WAS RLLY EXITED BUT HE GOT SICK AA. (sorry for being so ott i just really love this promt đ
)
đ Cute Valentines Starters đ Shipping: OumasaiWord Count: 403Note: youâre fine my dude!! Iâm happy about any request I get and this was so cute, thank you! âĽ
Kokichi had fought his pounding headache hard. As a master of deception, he was well-versed in hiding his troubles and weakness, no matter their kind. But even he couldnât hide a heavy cold that long and especially not in the presence of his one and only favourite detective.
âYou need to stop pushing yourself when youâre not feeling good.â
âHmphâŚâ
âI almost called an ambulance, Kokichi. You canât just pass out in the middle of the streetâŚ!â
âMmphâŚ! Stooop itâŚâ
Kokichi had his face burrowed in a pillow, a thick duvet resting on his body and a medical mask covering his mouth and nose. His hair was disheveled, his cheeks red and his forehead carried a thin layer of sweat. Shuichi pressed a cold washcloth to it. The trickster found himself unable to escape his strict and worried gaze, one so disheartening it managed to make even a supreme leaderâs heart twist in regret.
âHey⌠are you okay?â The concern in Shuichiâs gaze gave way to an affectionate hush. He carefully placed his hand on Kokichiâs cheek and stroked it with his thumb. The sick boy closed his eyes shut with a choked whine. Kokichi buried his face further in the pillow, before he finally murmured a reply.
ââŚsorry Iâm sick on Valentineâs Day, ShumaiâŚâ
âAhâŚâ, Shuichi exhaled in relief. He moved to stroke Kokichiâs hair and gave his head rubs to soothe the pain. Before too long, he dropped the washcloth in the bucket of cold water. Shuichi tugged his own mask down and leaned in to place a loving kiss to his forehead, warm lips against yet cooled skin.
âIf we canât go out, letâs have fun at home. I⌠I like taking care of you, soâŚâ, his sentence trailed off as he averted his gaze. Shuichiâs cheeks flushed a rosy red that made warmth pool in Kokichiâs gut.
âY⌠youâre gonna get sickâ, came his weak protest, but Shuichi already pulled up his mask once more. Judging by the crinkle of his eyes, he could tell the other was smiling. When he was about to fetch them food and water, an urge overcame Kokichi that made him grasp the other boy by his collar. Shuichiâs eyes widened when their foreheads touched. Despite Kokichiâs weakened state, his gaze spoke of sincere gratitude. .
ââŚI love you, Shuumai. I love you so muchâŚâ
âMe too, Kokichi. Itâs gonna be okay... donât worry.â

⌠Evening after âŚ
đ Commission đ
Shipping: Oumasai
Words: 985

Commissioner:Â @frauleinjustice
Given Prompt: This is the boysâ first Valentines Day together as husbands. Itâs late by the time theyâve arrived home by their date, but they donât want to go to sleep just yet. In fact: Kokichi suggests they change into their pajamas and slow dance in the kitchen. While quiet, romantic music plays in the backgroundâŚÂ
Authorâs Note: This was really fun to write. Thanks a lot Kay! I made it extra cheesy for you. Enjoy, my beloved. âĄ
Loaded silence hung in the air, making their bedroom feel like a timeless space. Kokichiâs eyes clung to his husbandâs back as he unbuttoned the white dress shirt that hugged his shoulders tight, only to reveal spotless, pale skin. His mouth stood agape as he watched the movement of his muscles against his shoulder blades. Kokichi got to his feet without thinking. Once the distance between them was crossed, he rested his hands on Shuichiâs bare waist and placed a kiss on his neck that made the detective shiver.
âWhat⌠was that about tea before bed, Kokichi? Wonât we- augh! U-ueeeueeeâŚâ, Shuichi got cut off by the firm squeeze to his butt, followed by a devious snicker. He was right however, they did say they were going to drink tea and snuggle up on the couch until they felt sleepy enough to let the day go. After their Valentineâs date, they felt blissfully exhausted yet light awake. Another idea crossed his mind.
âI wanna danceâ, Kokichi blurted outâ, I wanna dance like we did in school back then.â
At this, Shuichi turned around, a baffled look on his face. Not too long and surprise melted into a gentle smile.
âAlright. Letâs dance first and then have some tea.â
âNishishi⌠why not both? Iâm the master of multitasking, Shuumai!â
Shuichi tilted his head in wonder. âBut, how are we going to-â
âDonât break your pretty head over it. Change and join me in the kitchen, o-kay?â
Shuichi seemed ready to interrogate him, though was silenced by a kiss to his cheek. He touched the spot Kokichiâs lips had kissed before he nodded in agreement.
The leader had already changed into his pyjamas, so he went ahead into the kitchen - a small place filled with shelves of tea, coffee, syrup and herbs in little planters.
After he fetched two mugs and a large tea pot, he filled the kettle and brought water to boil. As the bubbling grew louder, he tried to decide between mountain oolong and a special blend he had brought home from his last trip to Africa. Both smelled alluring, yet he ultimately chose the former since it was his husbandâs favourite. Even if they had already spent a nearly perfect day, he wanted to make it even more perfect for the one he loved. Just when he placed the filter with loose leaves in the pot, the sound of quiet steps reached his ears. Saiharaâs presence was silent, a glaring contrast to Kokichiâs dominant aura. He felt arms wrap around his waist and Shuichiâs familiar smell filled his lungs as the other nuzzled his hair.
ââŚisnât Shuumai gonna be cheesy and ask for a dance?â
Kokichi knew the other smiled by the voiceless chuckle that left him, before he stepped back and put some quiet, calm music on. When he turned around, he was greeted by Shuichi in pale, comfortable clothes, who took his hand and placed a shy kiss upon its back.
âMay I ask for a dance, Kokichi?â
âN⌠now you lost me. That sorta tension makes it super awkward! Anyway, yes.â
He was admittedly flustered, but no way was he going to say it out loud. Shuichi could tell by now.
A manâs soulful voice embarked them in a loving melody as they held each other, hands on hips and shoulders, intertwined fingers and soft heartbeats. They gazed at each other softly and soon stole kisses from one another, tender ones that were full of adoration. Warmth rose to Kokichiâs cheeks as he felt himself ensnared by Shuichiâs breath-taking presence. The touch of his lips and their quiet confessions were soon mingling.
âI wannaâŚtry something, tooâŚâ, Kokichi breathed out and steeled his nerves. Shuichiâs interest was perked, and he let him pull the ropes, following his guide. With his feet firmly planted on the ground, he placed his hands on Shuichiâs back and shifted his weight slowly. His silent request was accepted, and Shuichi wrapped his arms around his neck, letting himself be held. Their eyes locked onto one another and their breath halted in unison as Kokichi dipped him low, carefully leaning down as much as his body allowed him to. Heat rushed through his body and made his cheeks burn when their noses almost touched.
Slowly, they moved up. With their bodies close, Kokichi lost himself in a sea of gold. There was everything in Shuichiâs eyes he could wish for, more than he could ever dream of.
When Shuichi leant in to kiss him deeply, every fibre of his being sensed that the feeling was mutual. Their lips touched as if it was meant to be, as if they had finally found their soulmate whom they had spent many lifetimes with. Overwhelmed by emotion, Kokichi barely swallowed a whine. Their tongues intertwined and Shuichiâs fingers threaded through his hair. Kokichi grasped at his shirt for hold.
When he pulled back, both had to catch their breath.
ââŚdid you like our date today?â
He wasnât sure why he asked the question, but it caused Shuichiâs face to light up.
âYâŚyes! I loved it as much as I love KokichiâŚ! âŚahâŚâ, for once, Shuichi had spoken before thinking. The detectiveâs cheeks were painted a lovely cherry red once he realised what he had said. Kokichiâs heart soared.
âI love Shuumai even more! You canât change my mind.â
âAâŚare you sure? Since I love my husband a lotâŚâ
Kokichi grinned so hard his mouth hurt.
âLetâs test it. I bet you canât hug me as much as I do!â
He sprinted out of the room before the other could protest. Shuichi hadnât forgotten about the tea, so he finished what his beloved had started. He thought to himself, this might turn out to be a longer night than expected.
Life was good if spent with someone who made him smile so happily. With KokichiâŚ

⨠Send me a Soft Sentence Starter for a drabble! â¨Shipping: OumasaiWord Count: 534Note: thanks for the request pal!! this got soft... ⼠hope you like it!
âNnnhâŚâÂ
A sleepy hand grabbed at the back of his shirt. Shuichi froze with bated breath as he realised, he mightâve woken him up. It was Saturday and they had agreed on spending a lazy day at home. But heâd been awake for so long and didnât want to disturb Kokichiâs sleep, so he thought maybe, he could sneak in a little work before breakfastâŚ
âNooo⌠donât goâŚâ
The warmth that enveloped his heart melted his determination away. Without being able to help it, Shuichi turned around and slipped back under the comforting embrace of their covers. Kokichi made a cute, content noise in the back of his throat when he kissed his forehead. No, it was impossible. When he saw his boyfriend like this, a sleepy mess of dishevelled hair and rosy cheeks, it was impossible not to hug him tight. With a quiet, embarrassed whine at his own thoughts, he gave in and pulled Kokichi closer to snuggle him like a small teddy bear.Â
He had told him a long time ago. Shuichi knew of Kokichiâs nightmares, just like his own. So if he asked him to stay, he would, because he knew both of them slept better with the other around.
ââŚshishi⌠nishishi⌠Shumaiâs gonna⌠squeeze me to death, dummyâŚâ
He blinked his lavender eyes open and drew a smile from Shuichiâs lips. Taking in his familiar smell, he buried his nose in Kokichiâs hair and his eyes fluttered shut.Â
âAh, sorry. Did I wake youâŚ?â
Kokichi lightly shook his head, followed by a squeeze.
âDuh! How dare you interrupt my beauty sleep? Youâre-â, he yawned into Shuichiâs chest, ââŚinsufferable.â
Shuichi gave a soft giggle. âHow can I make it up to you, KokichiâŚ?â
âHmmmâŚâ The prankster ran a hand through his raven hair, twirling a strand around his finger in thought, making Shuichi coo. âAddress me as your Highness for the rest of the day.â
ââŚalright, my Majesty- Ow!â Kokichi hit his back with the flat of his hand. Though, there was a tinge of pink on his cheeks that made Shuichi laugh. âSorry, Iâm sorry! Your Highness.â
âI was joking, sillyâ, Kokichi stuck his bottom lip out in a pout and averted his gaze. He couldnât help but reach out to stroke his cheek. So soft⌠however, that was when a piercing gaze caught onto him and Shuichi froze on the spot.
âDonât lie to me, okay? We said todayâs our lazy day. So you better relax, Shumai! âŚand get me some breakfast.â
It was obvious that he had been caught red-handed and Kokichi shot him a knowing yet forgiving smile. He knew this was to ensure heâd rest, but old habits were so hard to break.Â
But if he was asked to make food, heâd have to focus on that task. Alright.
âAre pancakes alright? We still have some berries and that syrup you likeâŚâ, he mused with a finger tapping his chin. The smaller boy broke out in a huge grin and leant in for a surprise kiss that made Shuichiâs heart leap.
âExtra syrup, please! âŚthanks, Shumai.âÂ
Shuichi nodded. When he left their blanket fort, he got to work with a goopy smile on his lips.

⌠ Letâs Go Home âŚ
Title: đš Letâs go home đšÂ
Shipping: Oumasai
Length:Â 557 Words
Setting:Â Theyâre married, post HPA!
Posted: January 31st 2020Â
Note: Thought of this at night and thought Iâd share some cuteness ⼠I love to write them like this. Theyâve spent years together, so Oumaâs more open with his affection.
Description: Shuichi arrives at the airport after a long trip to solve a case. Despite his expectations, he is greeted by his favourite prankster.
Despite fatigue nagging at his bones after such a long flight, he had finally gotten off the plane and grabbed his suitcase. There werenât many complications so far, at least not as many as were to be expected on any other trip, so he called himself lucky.
After having to travel abroad to solve a particularly convoluted case, he was finally on his way home. Only the way from the airport to their cosy apartment was left.
Shuichi nonetheless felt heaviness weigh on his shoulders. Kokichi was just as busy and wasnât at home. So, if he were to arrive and unlock the door, all traces of him would be everywhere without his actual presence. After being apart only two weeks, his heart was aching, he missed the one he had promised his life to. Kokichi, who always summoned a smile to his lips no matter how dark the day and filled his heart with love no matter how much doubt nagged at his brain.
As he pulled out of the baggage claim, he made his way towards the exit. But soon, intermingling with the busy chit-chattering, a distant announcement on speaker and the rolling of his suitcase, the sound of steps rang through the hall. Steps growing louder and louder, running towards him.
âShuumai!â
Shuichiâs eyes widened. He spun on his heels and turned.
âUeee!â
A firm force hit his chest and knocked him off his feet. Shuichi lost hold of his suitcase, his balance and the ground below him. As his back harshly collided with the floor, it squeezed the air out of his lungs and made dull pain chase up his spine, into his skull.
âIta-ta-ta⌠eh?â
When he found himself back in the moment, there was pressure atop his body. A wild mop of purple hair popped up and he locked eyes with his lover, ones amethyst and sparkling so bright he could never mistake them. Kokichiâs grin was wide enough to show off his whole set of teeth.
âK⌠Kokichi!?â
âSurprise, surprise! Iâm here to pick up my beloved. You better be grateful, nishishiâŚ!â
Laughter shook Kokichiâs body that laid on top of him. The pranksterâs warmth spread through every fibre of his being and Shuichi sank his head on the ground. The surprise enveloped him in a blanket of dazzling happiness, one so warm he couldnât help but laugh. When he wrapped his arms tightly around the other in a hug, Kokichi rested their foreheads together and welcomed him with a fond smile.
âAh, Kokichi⌠you didnât have toâŚâ
Kokichiâs expression softened and he placed a feather light kiss on the tip of his nose.
âYeah, I know. But I do whatever I want, rememberâŚ?â
Love came in many forms. As Shuichi ran his hand through Kokichiâs hair, he pulled him closer until their lips united in a tender kiss, one speaking of soft and strong devotion. He got the message loud and clear.
âI missed you, KokichiâŚâ
Kokichi melted a little inside and pressed his lips firmly against his.
âI missed you, tooâŚâ, he replied in a gentle voice, so only he could hear. A strand of hair slipped in front of his forehead and Shuichi brushed it aside with care. He smiled.
ââŚI love you, Kokichi.â
Kokichi chuckled and whispered:
âI love you, tooâŚ. letâs go home, my beloved.â

Setting: Talent Development Plan / HPA + Nekomimi AU
Prompt:Â The best boys go thrift shopping together. Mayhem, gay panic, and tacky fashion ensue.Â
Posted: January 29th 2020
Description: After graduating from Hopeâs Peak, both Saihara and Ouma are invited to a special occasion and need to find some fitting clothes. Their hunt for clothes goes a little wrong, to no oneâs surprise. Gone wrong, gone gay, basically
Commissioner: đšÂ @saccharine-strawberriesâ đš
âAnyway⌠give me your best shot. I know you called me out here to go on a mission. Surely, youâve come fully prepared, Mister Detective. You havenât forgotten about your debt, have you?â
Some things never changed. Graduation had hit him like a freight train. Their time at Hopeâs Peak Academy had ended only a few weeks ago, but Kokichi couldnât tell anymore. Was the world spinning faster below his feet or was he viewing the world like a slow-motion film inside his head? No matter what⌠he could rely on one thing.
âAh. I wasnât sure what sort of⌠places you buy your clothes from? Since, uh, your style is different, Ouma-kun. I found some shops online, but theyâre all expensiveâŚâ
Saihara Shuichi refused to leave his side.
Once the ghost of a smile faded from his lips, the detectiveâs words trailed off. He was cupping his chin in thought, still doubting his own estimations and research. Well, despite the growth spurt in confidence during the past few years, he was no monster of attitude yet. Kokichi would make it his personal task to chop him down a few if that ever were the case!
âHey.â Kokichiâs tail had been swaying with each step and now gently tapped at his arm until he caught Shuichiâs attention. A small smirk played on his lips and slitted pupils pierced him with interest. âEarth to Saihara-chan. Didnât I tell you? Youâre supposed to look at me today! Since weâre going shopping. Thatâs how it works, riiight? NishishiâŚâ
A soft tinge of pink spread on Shuichiâs cheeks as he nodded in surprise. âAh. Right. Well, what about you? Since you said weâre on a missionâŚâ
So curious. But he still played along. Kokichi took note of the way his pointed ears perked up in attention. It almost coaxed another chuckle out of him â so responsive! Everything about Shuichi was. His expressions, the pale gold of his eyes he liked so much, his posture, too⌠a faint memory of gentle purrs flashed up in Kokichiâs mind and he had to catch his breath, otherwise heâd risk stumbling over his own feet like an idiot.
âWell, of course! Since Akamatsu-chan asked so nicely, Iâll make sure we show the best of ourselves. Iâm sure youâve never seen it, but her teeth are those of the devil. I promise you!â
His carefree tone didnât suggest it. Now that graduation had supposedly âset them for lifeâ, the young lady was going to hold her debut as a renowned world-class pianist in one of the greatest concert halls of Japan. He had seen it so many times â snow white, feathered wings that spread from between her shoulder blades as she let her fingers run across the keys like a gentle spring breeze. But Kaede had bite, figuratively and physically so.
âYou think so? I donât think theyâre as scary as you say, Ouma-kun. Well, maybe if you get on her bad side⌠heheâ, Shuichi giggled as Kokichi pouted at him. âAh, but⌠you still havenât answered my question.â
âThatâs because⌠oh! Tadaaa~!â
Kokichi spun on his heels, stretched his arms wide in a gesture of grandeur and smiled until his small fangs poked out. Currently, he was posing in front of a run-down store that read âTanakaâs Thrifty Commodities.â
âIs that⌠a thrift shop?â
âYuppers!â
ââŚOuma-kun, are you sure this-â
âOh, come on! You dragged me all this way just to chicken out? Iâm tired. My feet hurt, Saihara-chan! Pretty PleaaaseâŚ?â
Shuichi sighed in exasperation. After rubbing one of his temples, he nodded to himself. Heâs got a plan, he thought, it will be alright. Since the concert was going to be well visited and took place under such extravagant circumstances, they had to be dressed right. He knew Kaede had told him not to worry, but he wanted to leave a good impression for her debut⌠she had worked so hard after all. He was about to huff and retort that coming here hadnât been his choice at all. ButâŚ
ââŚalright. Iâll make sure you donât get distracted, Ouma-kun.â
Kokichi finally lowered his arms and smiled. One step closer, another one â their gazes met, and Shuichi felt fingers slide against his palm, grasping his hand. Yet, the surprise made him unable to look away.
âYaaayâŚ~! Câmon, Saihara-chan!â
Shuichi felt himself dragged along into the store. After a flustered chuckle left his lips, he squeezed his hand back. Right. This couldnât not be fun if Kokichi was here. They had to stay focused, but he knew they were going to laugh a lot, too. Whenever they spent time together, they did. Before meeting him, Shuichi didnât know he could laugh so much. The thought summoned a smile to his lips as they stepped inside and were welcomed by rows upon rows of colourful clothing, divided by type, shade and size. It was so much at once, he didnât realise he held onto Kokichiâs hand longer than usual. His touch felt warm.
âI wonder what we should look for. If itâs a huge concert, a suit might make sense⌠I have one, but ah, I think Iâve grown since thenâ, as Shuichi thought out loud, Kokichi turned to face him and pressed his lips in a firm line. âWell. To no oneâs surprise, youâre still a toothpick!â
ââŚâ Shuichi gave a slow, reassuring blink of his eyes. âYouâll grow, Ouma-kun. Maybe. Donât worry.â
Kokichiâs mouth stood agape in shock and his ears drooped.
âSaihara Shuichi. How dare you?â
Shuichiâs hand moved up to cover his mouth as he averted his gaze and gave a quiet, fond laugh. Supposedly enraged, Kokichi grasped at his heart in shock. As if Shuichi wasnât worth his attention any longer, he clicked his tongue and turned to walk down the aisle towards the formal menâs wear. But Shuichi could tell by the excited sway of his blackish purple tail that no offense was taken. Heâs cute if you tease him. He always is.
Their treasure hunt started. Once Kokichi was done pretending to be upset, which took about less than thirty seconds, they browsed through the different types of suits, shirts, vests, ties and accessories. Shuichi found some darker pieces he liked, but Kokichi kept telling him they werenât 'flashyâ enough, fully aware that Shuichiâs style was the farthest from that it got. The prankster took pride in his image of being the malicious supreme leader of evil, but Shuichi had learnt a while ago that he took a certain liking to colours that were so gaudy and bright, they were outright tacky.
âNope, nope⌠nuh-uh! Geez, I wanna find something thatâs gonna take the audienceâs breath away.â
âYou wonât stand in the spotlight. You know that, right?â
Kokichi threw his hands in the air. âOkay, Mister Fancypants. Why donât you choose something for me then?â
âMe?â, Shuichi uttered in all his brilliance, pointing at the tip of his nose. âIâm not⌠sure Iâd find something that suits your⌠taste? SinceâŚâ
âSince Saihara-chan hasnât left his emo phase yet? Nishishi⌠sowwy, sowwy. Seriously though, why donât we have a little fun instead?â Once Kokichi made his suggestion, he walked further down the aisle, closely followed by his company. Against Shuichiâs expectations, he made no effort to explain himself, however. Shuichi waited for what seemed to be an eternity before curiosity caught up to him and he asked.
ââŚwhat game are we playing today, Ouma-kun?â
Kokichiâs eyes sparked with glee and his ears perked up as he pulled out a midnight vest with golden lining. His other hand was clutching a bow tie of all things and he shot Shuichi a dazzling grin.
âSaihara-chanâs so smart. You already know the drill! Whaddaya think Iâm doing?â
Shuichi tilted his head in thought and the gears started spinning in his brain. If this were fiction, Kokichi might have seen a light bulb pop up above his head when realisation hit him.
âYou want us to pick out clothes for each other?â
Kokichi nodded and barely kept himself from performing a little jump in joy.
âExacto! Bravo! Nishishi⌠I donât see you running yet. Arenât ya gonna play along?â
The bright praise seemed to encourage him, since Shuichi hummed in agreement. Alas, it didnât take them long to get started. Kokichi was like a little whirlwind dancing between the racks and filling his arms with an arsenal of whatever he considered worthy of attention. Shuichi however struggled initially, before he bit the bullet and embraced what he thought might look good on the leader. This proved to be effective in both gathering clothes and making himself embarrassed. Hopefully, it would be worth it. When they met up in front of the fitting rooms, Shuichiâs heart was racing a little. Though his nervousness soon dissipated when he spotted the prankster with arms full of clothes and only the tips of his ears peeking out.
âAhaha⌠Ouma-kun. I donât think I can try on all of that.â
âAre you sure though?â, the walking mountain of clothes spoke. âYou havenât tried it yet. Donât get your panties twisted in a bunch! Just put on whatever you like.â
âIâm not wearing⌠ah, alright. Letâs just⌠switch? Iâll put down yours, soâŚâ
âNot yet. Alrighty, go ahead!â
This had Shuichi riddling over what the hell that meant, but he decided to not overthink for the sake of his sanity. The devious chuckle from the neighbouring cubicle was all he needed to know to get started. Shuichi pulled the dark curtain shut and started sorting through his stack. Whenever he found something purposefully ugly, it coaxed a smile or even a soft giggle out of him. The shuffling of fabric and their comments alongside cheery laughter filled the silence for a while.
When Shuichi laid eyes upon a set of lacey, white lingerie, he let out an undignified squeak.
âO-Ouma-kunâŚ!â, he whined, with his brows furrowed in angry embarrassment.
âIs something wrong? Nishishi⌠Iâd looove to see your face right now, Saihara-chan.â
âGuhâŚâ
When Shuichi had put on the midnight vest from earlier on top of a slightly ruffled, black dress shirt, he curiously eyed himself in the mirror. With a few tugs here and there, he had straightened the clothing and thought to himself, it made him look far too important. Like a prince, maybe. It was an outfit he liked, but not one he had the confidence to wear without encouragement.
âIâm gonna come in, Saihara-chan! Make sure to put on some pants. Or elseâŚâ
âYouâre insufferableâ, he shot back and willed down another blush as he turned around. When the curtain opened, he had to bite his lip to supress a small laugh.
Shuichi had allowed himself a little joke and Kokichi knew. He stood in front of him with boots that were too big, plaid pants, unfit striped suspenders and a glaring red bow tie around his neck. Though the best part was the proud grin on Kokichiâs face, as if heâd don this outfit in public anytime.
âDonât I look handsome?â He put a hand on his hip and puffed out his chest with confidence.
âYes. As if you walked down from stage just now.â
âAre you calling me a clown?â, Kokichi drew out the last word in shocked disbelief, but Shuichi could only shake his head and reaffirm him. âN-no, itâs just that⌠I really didnât think your feet were this small, Ouma-kun.â
Kokichi pursed his lips and looked down at his feet, before he looked at him with his brows knit together.
âBut the bow is pretty sexy, Iâm keeping that.â
Shuichi smiled in amusement and stepped close, before straightening the ends of his tie. After smoothing out the fabric, their gazes met. Kokichi looked at him with something that couldnât possibly be affection. Shuichiâs breath hitched.
âAh, what⌠do you think of mine?â Shuichi let go and took a nervous step back as he loosely gestured at himself. Kokichi eyed him from head to toe and hummed in thought, before he stepped closer and placed both his palms flat on Shuichiâs chest. They radiated heat, way too close to his heart. Shuichi couldnât look away from his lavender eyes.
âAre you sure youâre not wearing makeup?â
Shuichi shook his head, tense. Kokichiâs rosy lips pronounced his words carefully, in a low murmur.
âHuh⌠well, I guess thatâs good. After all, Shumai could kill with that look.â
Before he could react, Kokichiâs dark hair whipped around. He strode out of the cubicle and pulled the curtain shut without another word.
Shuichi swallowed thickly before he hurriedly undid the buttons of his vest.
This was going to be a long shopping tour.
Maybe, he didnât mind.

âYouâve got a fever. Of course Iâm not going anywhere.â If you want! đ
đš Send me a Soft Sentence Starter for a drabble! đšShipping: OumasaiWord Count: 505Note: I see so much content with Saihara taking care of Ouma, so letâs do it the other way around. Thanks for sending me something so quick! I hope you like it!
âNuh-uh. Shumaiâs being stubborn. But you canât fool me! Youlook as if youâre gonna fall over if I blow on you. See?â
Kokichi followed his words and blew warm air onto Shuichiâsalready heated face, which wasnât helping. The detectiveâs head felt stuffed tothe brim with cotton and the dizziness wouldnât fade, alongside the fevermaking his heart pound faster in his chest. Had he known Kokichi was the one toknock on his door, maybe he wouldnât have opened it at all.
âŚno, I would have. Kokichi wouldnât let me hear the restof it, after allâŚ
A small smile was summoned to Shuichiâs lips, which wasenough to stun Kokichi speechless. For a long second, the leaderâs face wasdevoid of emotion. His thinking face. At least thatâs what Shuichi liked tocall it. Something big was going to happen next whenever it appeared, he hadlearned that by now.
â⌠itâs⌠itâs really not that bad. Iâll rest a bit, alright?You donât have to stayâŚâ
Kokichiâs brows furrowed at the faintness in Shuichiâs voice.He pressed his mouth in a firm line, before his gaze softened.
âYouâve got a fever. Of course Iâm not going anywhere.â
When he felt two hands carefully push against him and guidehim towards his bed, Shuichi couldnât help but follow. He had a rough time dealingif he couldnât do his work, since the thought of being unproductive or lettingothers wait for his help was dreadful. But the worry shining in Kokichiâslavender eyes and that soothing tone he spoke in, those were soconvincing. Maybe that was because Shuichi knew how much it meant. That hint ofhonesty he only gave those he trusted, cared for and loved⌠Shuichi felt lovedwhen he spoke to him like that.
His back soon came to rest on the mattress with a soft thud.
âWhat if you catch my coldâŚ?â, Shuichi asked in a hoarsevoice, after which he cleared his throat with a wince. It hurt.
âEhhh? Does Saihara Shuichi-chan think I could be defeatedby some ugly bacteria? Youâve got to be kidding me.â
âKokichi.â
âFine, fine. Iâm gonna partake in that recovery session ofyours and have all the tea and vitamins that can fit into my body. Geez, itâllbe fine. Stop worrying so much, Shumai!â
âAl⌠alright. But if you get sick⌠promise me youâll let metake care of you, too.â
Kokichi paused for a moment and stared down on him. He wasabout to open his mouth and disagree, before he let out a soft exhale.
âOnly if you tell me what tea you want.â
âPeppermint.â
âJajaaan~! We got ourselves a deal, detectiveâ, Kokichismiled and spun on his heels, ready to stride into the kitchen.
âKokichi?â
âWhat?â Though when Shuichi called out to him, he turned toface him once more. A warm, sincere smile played on his lips. One that was sodazzling, it brought a faint tinge of pink to his cheeks.
âThank youâŚâ

Can I request for the Valentineâs requests the âWe can bake cookies! And put heart sprinkles on them.â about OumaSai please ?
âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
đ Cute Valentines Starters đ
Shipping: Oumasai
Word Count:Â 593
Note: this ended up gayer than expected and I hope thatâs okay jhdba thanks again for your patience! @mutsukittylckyoumaâ
Kokichi had wrapped his arms around Shuichiâs waist from behind and bent his body so he could peek past him, at the thick book of recipes the detective was holding. They were skimming through the pages while debating what sugary delight to bake, but there were way too many dishes to choose from. What could possibly make the perfect Valentineâs dessert?
âHmm⌠how about chocolate mousse?âÂ
âThatâs laaame⌠and looks like poop. I wanna do checkered cookies, Shuumai!â
ââŚdonât ever say that again. Anyway, we did these last time, remember? And the time beforeâŚâ
âBooo⌠oh? Whatâs this?âÂ
âHm?â, this caught Shuichiâs attention, for he paused at the current page. It was a recipe for cookies with lemon icing, though Kokichi had an add-on in mind that convinced him in an instant.
âWe can make these instead! And put heart sprinkles on them. Pwetty pwease?â
The thought summoned a bashful smile on Shuichiâs lips and he couldnât help but nod his head. Cute things were a weakness of his, just like Kokichi was, and the prankster was all too aware. At his agreement, he burst into cheers and finally let go, before he climbed on the counters and started to gather ingredients.Â
âDonât fall, ok?â
âIâm a cat, Shuumai. No matter how high, Iâm gonna land right on my paws. Like, yâknow⌠nya.â
Shuichi giggled softly and accepted that answer as a yes. The kitchen soon turned into a white mess as Kokichi flung ingredients about and they got into occasional tickle fights while Shuichi mixed together flour, butter, sugar and eggs. Kokichi insisted on preparing the icing, so he expertly cut lemons in half and squeezed them dry. Sour and sweet smells combined in the air as they cut cute shapes from cookie dough that were soon to be painted with lemon icing.
âThese are coming out nicely⌠we did a good jobâ, Shuichi mused once the first sheet tray of cookies was turning a golden brown in the oven. Kokichi was watching, sitting in front of the clear glass pane, and Shuichi joined him once had had put away his mittens. Warmth that seeped from the oven welcomed him. They were sitting in comfortable silence, watching their work come to fruition.
ââŚ? AhâŚâ When he glanced at the prankster, he discovered a stray droplet of icing on his face. Without thinking ahead, Shuichi reached out to cup his cheek and carefully brushed the sweetness away. Their eyes met. A long second passed. Words got caught in Shuichiâs throat, before he awkwardly retracted his hand and began to splutter.
âThereâs⌠there was icing on your cheek, s-soâŚâ
ââŚnishishi.â
Before Shuichi could react, Kokichi had already grasped his hand. Rosy lips wrapped around his thumb. Dragging his tongue over his skin, he took his sweet time to lick it clean. When Kokichi let go of his finger with a wet pop and a satisfied grin on his lips, he knew he had just committed murder. Shuichiâs face was burning hot and all he could utter was a flustered whimper.
âOâŚOuma-kuuunâŚyou canât just⌠justâŚâ
âJust?â
âD-do that! Donât surprise me like that!â
âIs that a complaint? If so, Iâm never ever gonna do it again!â
ââŚâ
When Kokichiâs eyes sparked with impish glee, Shuichi replied with a frustrated whine. His only saving grace was the hug he received right after. The prankster squeezed him in a tight hold while giggling.Â
There was a lot of time to kill until all the cookies were done and he wasnât sure if he was going to survive.

đ for shuichi?
đŻď¸ Send me a symbol for a headcanon! đŻď¸Character: Saihara ShuichiNote: thanks anon for sending one for my detective son âĽÂ Â
âž - sleep headcanon
Shuichi sleeps best if he can hug and nuzzle something, even if the fact embarrasses him. He received an orca plushie as a present a while ago and now keeps his cuddly friend in his bed, where he can hug and cuddle it every night. On the rare occasion that someone visits him, he contemplates if he should hide it â but ultimately decides to leave it there. If you tease him for it, heâll huff and pout at you!

" It's getting crowded. Here, hold my hand" Can I request that one about a platonic interaction of Miu with Ouma or Saihara (Your choice) ? Its fine if you can't do that though, thanks in advance
đš Send me a Soft Sentence Starter for a drabble! đšCharacters: Iruma Miu, Saihara ShuichiWord Count: 666 (you bet)Note:Â Iruma isnât on my list of muses. I still wrote this. So now youâre obligated to tell me if I did okay or not hdbfads Sheâs a softie.Â
âAh, itâs getting crowded⌠here, hold my hand.âÂ
Saihara was going to regret that decision immediately.
An endless stream of passengers crowded the busy streets of Akiba, Tokyoâs heart of electronics that offered any tech you could desire. On a quest to find a very specific object that Iruma hadnât named, simply described in her roundabout way, they were going to spend hours here searching. The chattering of people and the uncomfortable lack of space were things he disliked. So as to not lose his friendâŚ
âY-your handâŚ? HiyeehhhâŚâ Iruma let out a shuddering exhale as her arms squished her breasts together, her fingers curled in delight and a pink blush crept on her cheeks. Was that a trail of sweat rolling down herâŚ?
ââŚalright, I take it back.â
âN-now wait just a second! You canât dump me now, Sobhara!â
As expected. Befuddled, she dropped the act and nervously grasped Saiharaâs hand. Out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted her biting her bottom lip, yet he chose not to comment. It was a little embarrassing now that he thought about it, even though he had asked her out of good intentions. They had known each other for a few years and he knew what it was like to lose each other in a crowd. Heâd hate to do that to her - both because he knew sheâd dislike it and because he wouldnât hear the last of it.
ââŚyour handâs sweaty. What are you waiting for, huh? Gorgeous golden brains Iruma Miu- fucking dammit!â
Before she could say anything else, Saihara grimaced and started pulling her along through the crowd. So many voices and moving faces, music buzzing from countless shops and ads ringing in the background. It was uncomfortable and he subconsciously squeezed her hand.Â
ââŚâ
Irumaâs eyes were fixated on different hard drives as she twirled a strand of strawberry blonde hair around her fingers.Â
No, he was sure of it. She had squeezed back, just once, instead of commenting on what he did.Â
Over the time they had spent together, he learned that she was far more delicate than she liked to admit. Saihara had come to appreciate that.Â
âIs the thing youâre looking for here? I, ah, I canât find it.â
ââŚno, itâs notâ, she huffed and dropped her hair to point at him, thinking. âYâknow, Sighhara, I didnât even tell you what this shitâs for, right? Arenât ya gonna ask? Tch, rude.â
âBut I did!â, Saihara blurted out before he had time to think about it. âWasnât it to⌠increase the power of the processor youâre using to-â
âAha! The power Iâm using to pump up the performance of my bursting hot invention, Put-it-in-while-you-sleep, hiyaha! Wow, you remembered⌠if you make this trip worth my while, thereâs gonna be a reward.â
âI-I think I donât want it, Iruma-san. If itâs not here, then letâs move on.â
She wanted to upgrade her invention that let you study while youâre asleep. It sounded silly when she had first told him about it. But the real reason was far more formidable than he would have initially expected. Iruma definitely was beyond mad, but still a genius.
You donât get it. A big-boobed genius like me has to work day and night or the world would be in pieces! If you gotta pull an all nighter to get your fucking work done, stop getting your panties in a twist and try it. Ruining your beauty sleep over unhealthy habits is gonna turn you ugly when you hit the twenties, Shithara.Â
He decided heâd support his friend. The longer they walked through the streets of Akiba, the more comfortable he grew with the warmth in his hand. Saihara gave her another gentle squeeze.When she squeezed back, a shade of pink dusted her cheeks. But the corners of her mouth were curling upward, giddy as it made her. Having a friend to support her in what sheâs passionate about, it truly made her happy.
