#again happy saiouma day!

[lunarleonardo]

Hey! I saw you turned off comments on your most recent AO3 work, so I figured I'd come here to sing your praises instead!

I absolutely LOVE your works!! All of them!! Every single one is a banger.

I came back to the DR fandom after 3(ish) years, and while I was a bit disappointed that so many old saiouma authors/works I remembered had been deleted, I was absolutely over-the-moon ecstatic to find your fanfics instead!

The first one I read was death puzzles, and Ive been hooked on your writing ever since! Your Shuichi and Kokichi feel very in character to me (for better or worse, sometimes it makes me wish Shuichi would get his head out of his ass already, but again, VERY in character for him), and I am obsessed with the way you traumatize my favs, and let them cope afterwards. There is a surprising lack of whump in this fandom for a source material about death and despair tbh, and I am so so happy someone so talented is filling the whump-shaped hole in my heart!!

Especially cause the way that you write Whump is so so creative??? Like, I dabble in writing occasionally and I could NEVER come up with the stuff you do if I was given 1,000 years. I've never read anything else quite like your works and it makes me so happy to have found them. You can do whump AND plot so so well, I wish there was a medal I could give you for it.

Sorry for gushing for so long, I just wanted to let you know that whatever you're going through, there is always people around that love and support your art, wherever you take it. Thank you and have a nice day/night, favorite DR author of mine <3

゜゜(´O｀)°゜ AAAWUH !! AAAA <3 Thank uuu so so So much!!! (*＞∇＜)ﾉ

I hear you on the Shuichi thing. It is a PAIN to write sometimes Q_Q He has ME getting impatient and im the one writing him XD

The Whump thing is VERY true,, I really would've thought there'd be more of it in a fandom like this qwq I went through my entire filtered search of the Shuichi Saihara tag before finally deciding to start posting what I write . I had already done so w one of my TMNT fics so i figured Hey. Why Not :p

I'm just,, I tend to be a creative person I guess (((・・;) I think and think and think 24/7 so I've always got some sort of idea rattling around in my skull. There's a very specific,, flavor . of stories I like. So not being able to find any of those was very. sad. Especially after coming from the MHA side of ao3 where there are plenty of good whump fics :'3

You have a nice day too and thank u for your kind words!! ^^ 💕💕 I really appreciate it !!

[yuutsunaoi-writes]

Not sure if I'm ever gonna make this a fic but it has been plaguing my mind lately. I mean I really wanted to turn it into a fanfic but I've spent weeks working on the snow white saiouma au so I think I'll postpone this idea for now.

Shuichi is your typical quiet guy who keeps to himself, who also goes to an all boys school. Miraculously, he is not bullied for being awkward. Simply because there are other more 'bullying-material' kids aside from him. Aside from that, he's unsure how else is he able to avoid the bullying.

He frequents a supermarket near his school. He goes to the supermarket almost everyday. One day, he walks in and finds himself surprised when the cashier cheerily greets him a 'good evening!' with a kind smile on her lips. She's new for sure - since usually Shuichi's presence is left ignored until he goes to pay for the things he picks up from the shelves.

While walking around the supermarket, Shuichi sneaks glances at the blonde behind the counter, noting how he feels quite at ease at seeing her bopping her head to the music playing through her earphones. She looks kind, and Shuichi notes to himself that maybe he could also give the cashier a kind smile in return.

When Shuichi goes to pay for his things, the cashier with a musical note hairpin tucked on a strand of her hair is quick to start small talks, her carefree aura making Shuichi feels comforted somehow.

That's how Shuichi ends up befriending Kaede, always dropping by the supermarket and at some point starts walking the girl to her house since her shift ends late into the night. At that point, they've known each other for a few months. Shuichi's told that Kaede is working to save up some money.

After Shuichi is finally comfortable enough to talk to Kaede and joke with her, he walks into the supermarket one day, a small, happy smile on his lips when it falters a little at seeing a student from his school talking to Kaede.

Shuichi obviously knows who Kokichi is - he's not really a bully, since he pranks literally everyone he wants. No discrimination whatsoever.

As it turns out, Kaede has been friends with Kokichi for a long time - childhood friends, she says. Shuichi and Kokichi somehow are only able to meet that day because Kokichi drops by on a weekday instead of the usual weekends. (Shuichi usually drops by on weekdays after school.)

The conversation that day is undeniably slightly awkward; Shuichi mostly listening in to Kaede's and Kokichi's banter. They're working pretty well together. Some part of Shuichi is envious.

The next day, when Shuichi goes to school, for the first time, Kokichi goes up to him and suddenly strikes a conversation.

Shuichi has never felt so anxious.

Ever since then, in some way or another, Shuichi is always being dragged into Kokichi's business.

Shuichi is confused how Kaede even gets along with Kokichi. Kokichi is a huge liar, a troublemaker, a prankster, loves to get on people's nerves, and, most of all, loves to run around in Shuichi's head all the time! He gives Shuichi riddles and too-vague hints, and then never speak of them again. Shuichi could always ignore these riddles and lies, but he finds himself itching to solve at least one of Kokichi's riddles just to gain some control over his life that is now filled with 'nishishi' laughs, stupidly low key cute mischievous grin, and barely-understandable riddles. At times, he finds himself only thinking of that guy.

Ever since meeting Kokichi at the supermarket, he keeps on seeing Kokichi and Kaede together at the supermarket - like Kokichi makes it his mission to run around in Shuichi's head. Kokichi keeps on saying horrendous things jokingly - like how he would send out assassins to assassinate the rude customers - while Kaede could laugh about it and just tells Kokichi that he's exaggerating. It's aa if she didn't care. But judging by how Kaede seems to understand the underlying meaning behind Kokichi's words, Shuichi believes that Kaede definitely could understand Kokichi.

Needless to say, some part of Shuichi is envious.

That's basically how the idea goes. I really want to write it out but yeah, like I mentioned at the beginning TT

[sappy-detective]

another saiouma ‘detective’ AU i’ve had for a while but done know how to write down without sounding dorky. but then i remember this is tumblr, so here

have you guys watched that episode of attorney woo (ep 10) where woo is on the train and sees a guy getting arrested and try’s to help? yah but make it saiouma (and semi chaotic).

shuichi is doing something, on the train, or at a coffee shop and this cute preteen boy bursts through the door, looks at shuichi and

K: “hey! aren’t you like that detective guys nephew yah!?“

and like 5 officers are casing him with guns and he hides behind shuichi

K: “dude you need to help me! make them go away!”

S: “w-what??! i’m his nephew not a magician! the hell am i supposed to do!”

K: “i don’t fucking know do something!!”

S: “im 15 what am i supposed to do!?-“

PO: “sir step away from him, he’s a murder suspect”

S: “i would like to but he won’t let me”

that OR and AU where they’re very happy and steady on a four year long relationship and one thanksgiving day there’s a mock knock at the door, it’s shuichis work buddy’s

S: “um.. sorry but you wernt invited to my thanksgiving..”

PO: “actually we’re here him, kokichi ouma- you! you’re under arrest for-”

and boom he starts running, other cops start looking around their home and he’s like

S: “um you can’t do that withou-”

PO: “we already have a warrant.”

oumas under arrest for murder (he ran before they even said what it was in the beginning) he thought it was something else he did and IS in fact, guilty of but it’s WAYY less crazy then murder. him running just makes him look guilty as fuck.

shuichi has to go through the crazy though of his boyfriend actually doing something that fucking atrocious. and, we’ll, prove him inocente, not in an official way, but the same way he solved a cold case when being underage.

ANDDD! not to mention ouma lying about a lot of stuff to do his real, not so crazy, but also not so small crime (probably something involving DICE. don’t have to be crazy but i do think that’s his family and he’d do a LOT for them, including lying about what and where he is to shuichi)

either way, ouma is going to jail for something he didn’t do! because,,, obsessed with detective shuichi.

but then again… it would be a lot of shuichi and not enough ouma to be considered a saiouma fic… so maybe not that interesting … whomp whomp whatever! they’re AUs i like to think about trying to sleep :3

See You on the Other Side (5/5)

Final part of my Saiouma Day one-shot! I almost thought I wasn’t going to have this finished in time, but here we are! It’s been a wild few days XD

Thank you guys for the support and I hope you enjoy this last part!

Title: See You on the Other Side

Summary: The world works as such: everyone has a soulmate that they must find before either one of them dies. If one of them dies, the other person will become stuck in a loop, starting from a specific moment in time. However, the soulmate indicator changes each time and gradually becomes harder to recognize. This will continue until they find their soulmate.

Today is the day. Shuichi Saihara was finally going to meet his soulmate. Reading the letter that he had received from the soulmate bureau, he goes to the park near his favorite coffee shop after dining with his friends and waits for his soulmate to finally arrive...

Soulmate Indicator: On the day you are to meet your soulmate, the soulmate bureau sends you a letter outlining how you will meet them along with other information such as the location, the time, what your soulmate will be wearing, and other information. Usually, you get notified a week in advance that you will be meeting your soulmate before the meeting details are sent to you the day of.

Notes: This is a mashup of both soulmate and time loop AUs; there are many rules that are put into place in this particular universe; some parts will be longer than others due to how much content needs to be covered (particularly Loop #4); 

Warnings: None~

Shuichi woke up that morning to the sun peeking through the curtains and the realization of what today was.

He leapt out of bed, a wide grin spread across his lips as he got ready for the day and dashed downstairs.

“Well, someone seems to be in a hurry.” an elderly male spoke from in the kitchen.

Shuichi smiled.

“Good morning, Uncle.” he said.

“Good morning to you too, Shuichi.” his uncle flipped some bacon that was sizzling away in a skillet. “I think I know what you’re looking for. It’s sitting on the table in the dining room.” he said.

“Alright!” Shuichi chirped excitedly in response as he headed into the dining room.

He grabbed for the white envelope sitting atop the table and briefly scanned the front, seeing that it was his letter from the soulmate bureau.

“Uncle! Where do you have your mail opener?” he called out.

“In my office!” his uncle responded.

Shuichi dashed into his uncle’s office, immediately spotting the mail opener sitting in the pencil holder on his desk. He picked up the mail opener and opened the envelope in one clean swipe.

Putting the mail opener down, he took the letter out from the envelope. He unfolded it and began to read its contents.

To Mister Shuichi Saihara,

Today, on March 10, 20XX, you will be meeting your soulmate. You will be meeting them at the Kugimiya Park close to the White Lily Coffee Shop at 4:45pm. Your soulmate will be wearing a white shirt, a black leather jacket, dark denim skinny jeans, checkered Vans, and a checkered scarf.

As it gets closer to the time you guys are to meet, you will begin to feel a pulling sensation. When you feel it, please do not panic, as this is completely normal. It just means that your soulmate is getting closer to you.

We wish you all the very best with meeting your soulmate.

Best wishes,

The International Soulmate Bureau

Shuichi began to buzz with excitement.

It’s time. I finally get to meet them, he thought to himself.

He headed out of the office and into the dining room as his uncle began to set the table.

“Did you read it?” his uncle asked.

“I did.” Shuichi sat down and began dishing food onto his plate. “The meeting place is at a park across the street from my favorite coffee shop.” he explained.

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. I’m actually going to the coffee shop with a couple of my friends after class.”

“Well, that works out perfectly for you, now doesn’t it?”

“It does.”

His uncle chuckled.

“You know, Shuichi, meeting your soulmate for the first time is an extraordinary experience. I remember when I first met your aunt, I was just as excited as you are right now. Exchanging words for the first time, hugging each other, being able to spot them and just know that that’s them...it truly is a magical experience.” he explained.

Shuichi smiled.

“Yeah, I can imagine.”

💜💜💜💜

“Well, it’s about damn time you get to meet your soulmate!” Kaito hollered.

Shuichi laughed nervously.

“I told you already that I got a letter about it from the bureau a week ago, though...” he trailed off.

“You should be accustomed to this by now. He’s a forgetful dimwit.” Maki pointed out.

“Indeed! And don’t you—wait a minute, forgetful dimwit?!” Kaito exclaimed.

“You know it.” Maki replied as she began to stir her tea.

Kaede looked over at Shuichi, excitement dancing around in her eyes.

“So? Let’s see it! Let’s see the letter!” she said.

“Alright, alright. Let me just get it out of my bag...” Shuichi murmured as he reached for his school bag.

He took out the letter and he handed it to Kaede. She scanned the letter, her eyes darting back and forth.

“Wait, you’re meeting your soulmate at Kugimiya Park?!” Kaede looked out the window. “That’s literally right across the street!” she exclaimed.

“Huh.” Maki commented as Kaede handed her the letter.

“So? What’s your soulmate’s name?” Kaito asked.

“I don’t know. The bureau never said what their name was.” Shuichi replied.

“Huh?! Are you for real?!” Kaito snatched the letter out of Maki’s hand and he looked it over. “Holy shit, you’re right...” he trailed off.

“That’s odd. Your soulmate’s name should be on there.” Maki stated.

“Yeah, what Maki Roll said! Everyone has had their soulmate’s name in their letter when they received it! That’s how I knew Maki Roll was going to be my soulmate, after all.” Kaito declared.

Maki pouted, reaching up to play with her ponytail.

“Whatever...” she mumbled, a light blush coloring her cheeks red.

Shuichi looked at his friends before shrugging.

“Eh, it’s fine. I have a feeling as to who it might be, anyway.” he said.

“Huh?! You do?!” Kaito gawked at him. “Have you happened to meet your soulmate before now?!” he asked.

“Of course he wouldn’t have. The first time you meet your soulmate is the day the soulmate bureau sends you the info on how you meet them. There’s no way he could’ve met his soulmate already or else the bond would’ve been completed by now, you moron.” Maki stared bluntly.

“Moron—?!” Kaito’s jaw went slack as he looked at Maki, who silently took a sip of her tea.

They began to chat about various other things as Shuichi stared out the window, gazing at the park with a dreamy look on his face.

💜💜💜💜

Shuichi sat at a bench in the park, listening to the birds chirping from within nearby trees and letting the cool breeze blow through his hair.

He looked back down at his letter as he began to think over some things.

It still felt weird to be reincarnated into another timeline. Even as he was reincarnated, he still had the same name and remembered everything from the previous loops.

It took him a little while to get used to seeing Kaede and the others alive and well. He was so used to seeing Kaede being executed by Monobear and the looks of terror and worry that crossed both Maki and Kaito’s faces that it threw him off-guard to see them happy and simply enjoying life without having to worry about the killing game or that psychotic bear.

But, he kept those feelings buried deep within him and tried to embrace his new life. Everything was complete.

Except for one thing: meeting his soulmate.

He folded the letter and put it back in his school bag as he felt a light tugging sensation.

Hm? This feeling...is this what the letter was talking about, he asked himself.

The feeling grew stronger with each passing moment. He looked down at his watch, checking the time.

It’s time, he thought to himself.

He rose his head and he locked eyes with a figure that began to make its way over to him. His eyes widened, heart leaping with joy as he observed the person.

The wispy, dark purple hair.

The pale skin resembling that of a porcelain doll.

The plush pink lips.

The purple eyes that sparkled like stars in the night sky.

Immediately, Shuichi recalled everything from the killing game and the loops. He remembered feeling a connection to that person, the interactions they had, and the many times he let that person slip out of his grasp.

The person smiled upon seeing him and immediately, tears sprung up in his eyes.

He stood, a smile touching his lips as he extended his arms out. He watched as the person ran towards him, tears filling up in their eyes.

“Shuichi!”

The person fell into his arms soon after. Shuichi whirled them around, hugging them tightly. He buried his nose in their hair, the smell of grape shampoo filling his nostrils.

“Kokichi...” he choked out as tears spilled down his cheeks.

He gripped Kokichi tightly, fearing that if he let go, the former supreme leader would vanish into thin air.

Kokichi hugged him back just as tight as he spoke.

“I told you that I’d see you on the other side...” he muttered out.

Shuichi chuckled.

“I never doubted you for a second, Kokichi.” he said.

They pulled away from the hug as Shuichi cupped his cheeks. He watched as Kokichi began to cry, tears streaming down his cheeks.

“I’m so happy...after all of the struggling we went through, we can finally be together...” he choked out.

“I know.” Shuichi replied.

Kokichi reached up to cup Shuichi’s cheeks as well, wiping away his tears before pulling him close. Their foreheads and noses were pressed against one as he looked up at him.

“I love you. I love you so, so much.” he whispered.

“I love you too, Kokichi.” Shuichi whispered back.

Kokichi giggled as Shuichi closed the distance between them, immediately melting into the kiss.

Kokichi kissed back as Shuichi let the world melt away, feeling himself being transported to a fantasy world where only him and Kokichi existed.

With this, everything felt right.

They didn’t have to worry about time loops nor the killing game.

They could be together without having to worry about Kokichi dying anytime soon.

They could be happy and live out the rest of their days with one another.

Shuichi could be with Kokichi.

And that made him the happiest person in the world.

[thelemoncoffee]

Taking a quick moment to step away from Saiouma and gush about Kokichi and Gonta's friendship and how great it could be in a non despair au.

Specifically i wanna talk about how in UTDP Kokichi told Gonta that he didn't want him to be associated with him post-hpa because being associated with a criminal could ruin Gonta. What if Gonta said to hell with that and kept in contact with him anyways- well kinda.

Kokichi leaves HPA, sucessfully cutting off ties with Gonta at first, and spends almost a year living his life as usual. One day though, by pure chance, Kokichi runs into Gonta in town and Gonta is so thrilled to see him again he insists on spending some time catching up. Kokichi is skeptical cause this is the exact opposite of how this was suppose to go, but Gonta convinces him to at least spend a little time with him.

A little time turns into alot though, cause Gonta managed to get Kokichi's phone number and has started keeping in contact with him. bit by bit, day by day, Gonta manages to wiggle himself right back into his rightful title of Kokichi's friend and Kokichi at this point can't even be mad about it cause the presitance is oddly admireable.

Gonta ends up becoming Kokichi's ticket to slowly getting back in contact with alot of his old classmates, some more happy to hear from him than others- but all and all Gonta ends up being very good for Kokichi's mental and social conditions.

anywho, back to your regularly scheduled Saiouma

Saiouma Day Oneshot!

Hello, everyone!! HAPPY SAIOUMA DAY!!! 💙💜 I know by the time I am posting this, it is like...Super late JFKDKNJDJKD BUT DAMNIT, I WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE FOR THEM ON TIME!!! and also because I literally started this today because I remembered at the last minute KJDJFDJJDK Just Kay Things 😩 BUT AHH, if any of you still would love to read this, I would be so happy and flattered....

But yes, I just wanted to write something short and soft for the good baby boys on their special day... plot wise, nothing much; just Kokichi playing a silly prank on Shuichi, which eventually leads to cute cuddles and a soft intimate moment between them...and then confession of love... ♥ As always, I hope you all enjoy, and thank you in advanced for reading~! May you all have a great day/night!!! ⭐

Relaxing in his bed with a book on an otherwise uneventful night; not an unusual sight to see the detective in. That, paired with a nice cup of tea: he was truly content, the first time in a while he could just relax like this. Just as he was about to start another chapter, he gets a text notification. "Oh?" Grabbing his phone, he sees it's from Kokichi. "Oh god, what is this going to be." Because almost always, an unprompted text from Kokichi was bound to be something crazy. Opening up, it simply says:

{txt: Shumai} I'm under your bed.

"Wh-" He nearly wheezed. Just as he thought... "I-I swear to God, this boy." Now, Shuichi quickly texts back:

{txt: Kokichi} Very horrifying message to get at night, thank you!!!

"Honestly..." Rolling his eyes, he still couldn't help but let out a chortle. The boy's absolute ridiculousness was something Shuichi grew to love about him. Then as soon as he went back to his book...he heard what he swore was the sound of rustling under his bed.

"?!" His eyes widened, instantly pausing in his reading. "Wh-What the hell was that. Freaking Kokichi, now I'm starting to hear things..." He was going to ignore it, until he heard the noise again, but even louder this time. "Gah?! S-Seriously, what is that?!" Now getting out of his bed, and right before he can even move an inch... he felt something shoot out from under the bed, and tightly grip his ankles. "GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?!?" Loudly screams Shuichi as he started flailing so badly, he hits the floor with a loud thump. "Oof!! Wh-Wh-Wha-?!" Looking under the bed, feeling his heart race a mile a minute... as soon as he saw purple eyes staring right back at him, he knew instantly who it was. "K...K-KOKICHI!!!"

"Nishishishiiiii! Gotcha!!!" He cackles in victory, slapping his hands against the floor in victory. Face now burning red in embarrassment, Shuichi scrambles to his feet, pouting very hard as he grabs Kokichi's wrists to drag him out from under the bed. This only makes the supreme leader laugh even harder as he exclaims: "I toooold you I was under your bed, Shuichi~!"

"W-Well I obviously didn't think you were serious! How long were you under there? How did you even get in here without me noticing?!"

"Mmm, only ten minutes. And I snuck in when you left to make your tea. Geez Shuichi, so rude of you to keep me waiting! Do you know how precious a supreme leader's time is, hmm?"

"O-Ohh, shut up!!" He delivers a light kick to Kokichi's side, emitting a giggle out the boy. "I cannot believe you.... a-anyways: hi, Kokichi. Was there something you actually wanted....?'

"Wow! So cold, Shuichi.... I just wanted to pay my dear Shumai a visit, and *this* is the thanks I get? S-So heartless...." 'Tears' start welling up in his eyes.

"O-Ohh no, don't you dare...." A sigh, he plays along and 'corrects' himself: "Okay, I am very sorry for my rudeness. The heart attack you practically gave me aside: I am happy to see you, Kokichi."

"Y...Y-You mean that....?" And after a small pause...he sucks those tears back up, smiling brightly in an instant. "Good! You'd better be happy to see me! I'm always happy to see you, too, Shuichi~!" He hums, playfully tugging his cheeks. Despite his playful tone, he truly was always happy to see Shuichi. And knowing Shuichi was happy to see him as well, made his heart flutter. He always wants to be Shuichi's favorite.

"Bweeeh...." Is the comical noise Shuichi utters at the cheek pulls, before a light giggle leaves him. "Hahaha... I'm glad..." He really was, and while he would be far too shy to ever admit it: he always hopes he is the one Kokichi is happiest to see.

His smile brightening at his response, Kokichi is silent for a moment....before suddenly grabbing Shuichi by the shirt, and throwing him onto the bed.

"Uwoah?!" He lets out a surprised yelp as he's plopped onto the bed. And before he can have time to react, Kokichi exclaims a 'geronimoooo!' before plopping right on top of Shuichi, making him wheeze. "Oof!! K-Kokichi?!" His cheeks quickly heat up, staring down at him with widened eyes.

"Heheh... surprise attack!" He exclaims, beaming up at Shuichi an 'innocent' bright smile. "Goodness detective, don't you know better than to let your guard down around an evil leader? I could have finally assassinated you right then and there, and you wouldn't have even seen it coming..." Yet despite his ominous words, there was not a sign of the usual sly look on his face, his smile in fact only brightening more before he declares: "But that's a lie! I'd never hurt my precious detective... and because I'm so nice like that, he's going to cuddle me! And I won't take no for an answer!"

"O-Oh my god, Kokichi-" Hearing him go on that dramatic speak, and then demanding cuddles...couldn't help but make him laugh, fondly shaking his head. "You are absolutely ridiculous, you know that? B-But... I wouldn't mind cuddling with you! I-I mean it's...nice when we c-cuddle together..."

"You think so?! Good! No one else in this world has this special privilege to cuddle with me, you know... so that makes you extra special." And it was true; this level of intimacy he has with Shuichi, he could never feel comfortable enough having with anyone else. Not only that, but with Shuichi... he found himself being more honest at times, while of course still telling light-hearted lies for the most part. And while it was still hard for him to...at times let himself be more unguarded around him; more vulnerable. He trusted him. Trusted that he won't hurt him, won't ever stab him in the back. It was still scary to trust someone like this, but...it was a feeling that, deep down: he always wanted to experience. And right now, he just wanted to indulge in Shuichi's warmth, the sound of his soothing heartbeat....just being able to enjoy having the detective all to himself like that.

"Hehehe.... Mmhm; I do feel special." His arms go to gently wrap around Kokichi's waist, as he begins cuddling him softly. "It's....a little embarrassing to say, but.... I actually am really happy you're here. Even while I was reading, you....were on my mind." Kokichi could probably hear his heart starting to race a little. A quiet, slightly shaky exhale, he adds: "Y-You're....always on my mind, really..."

"....!" Now it was Kokichi's turn to blush, cheeks turning a light pink as he started up at Shuichi with wide eyes. "I'm always on your mind...?" He really was surprised... he always thought it was just him, having Shuichi on his mind. So to know the same applied to him in turn.... "......" Made him glad Shuichi was not the one laying his head on his chest, or else he would've felt that hard thump in Kokichi's. And as if you try making a joke to ignore the rapid beating of his heart, he forces a smile and teases: "Does that mean you really do have dirty thoughts of me? My, my, my! Shumai's such a pervert~!"

"?!?!?! H-H-Huh?! Wh-Where did that come from! ueeuue, I’m being serious here, K-Kokichi!” He whines, bringing one hand up to tug his cheek, emitting a mischievous giggle from the other. Though it really did help to not only ease Kokichi’s, but also Shuichi’s nervousness as well. “Dummy...” He mutters with a puffed out cheek, before it relaxes into a smile. “A-Anyway...yes, you are. Always wondering... how you’re doing when we are not hanging out together. If you’re alright, having fun somewhere... or causing trouble somewhere with your pranks. Hahaha.... but yeah,, just... hoping that you’re doing okay, and that you’re happy. S-Since...um....well: y...y-you’ve probably already figured it out by now.” 

As Shuichi had continued on, Kokichi silently listened as he rested his head on Shuichi’s chest again. There was a soft glow in his eyes as he continued to cuddle Shuichi. Being thought of so much like that... and that Shuichi always wishes for his happiness... things he never really heard anyone say about him, before. It made his heart feel full...and full of even more love for the detective. He truly loves him so much.... but then Shuichi says that last part. “...Huh?” Figured it out by now, he says? Kokichi knew exactly what he meant, and yet... even his mind started second-guessing. Thinking.... there’s no way Shuichi must be implying that he... Swallowing, Kokichi purses his lips. His expression becomes unreadable, but even he can’t hide the tinge of nervousness still apparent in his eyes. “....Figured what out? I don’t know what you’re talking about... guess you’ll have t...to...” His voice becomes ever so shaky. “Say it outright. Unless you’re a coward.”

“Ahhh...”  Shuichi knows Kokichi isn’t that naive. He’s pushing him to say it; to say those three words. And it’s not as if he doesn’t want to... but the thought of actually confessing to him, especially unprompted... makes him immensely nervous. What if he didn’t feel the same? What if this strains their friendship, if Kokichi does reject him? He knows the latter at least was irrational thinking, but... just the idea of someone he loves, loving him back: sounded too good to be true, to happen to him... but he wasn’t going to run away, wasn’t going to lie to himself. No matter what the outcome will be... he doesn’t want to hold in how he truly feels for him, forever. “........” A deep exhale, he nods his head. “O....Okay. I’ll say it. I....I-I...” Several more exhales, he gives. He ignores how loud his heart is beating as he finally gets it out. “....I love you, Kokichi.... a-and I... always want to be with you.” 

He loves him. Shuichi loves him. Even after hearing it with his own ears, and being the one who wanted Shuichi to say it clearly... his mind still had to process it. Process that those words were being told to him, from the person who stole his heart. “A-Ah...” He could feel his heart burst into his chest, and an overwhelming amount of emotions bubbling up in him; ....all good ones. Despite how prideful he acts... deep down, Kokichi never imagined anyone could ever love him. That everyone simply puts up with him at best. And feared.... maybe Shuichi did the same thing for a while, too. Now he felt stupid for thinking that. Jokingly thinking to himself that he should be a master at reading people, yet as always: Shuichi always knew how to catch him off guard, knock the words right out his mouth. “.....Mmmnnnngh.......” He was so happy-so happy his mind was swirling-but also a little embarrassed because of how happy this made him to hear. He was blushing deeply, quickly burying his face in Shuichi’s chest to hide it. “N...No fair, damnit...” He mumbles. “It’s supposed to be the evil supreme leader that kills the detective, not the other way around!!” Despite his dramatic declaration, he couldn’t hide how truly flustered he was in the whine he then emits.

“H-Hehehe....” Shuichi felt like his heart could stop at any moment, anticipating how Kokichi will respond to his confession. He has to admit he didn’t expect him to get so flustered, though... he honestly found it really cute. ‘U-Um...sorry...” He shyly giggles, feeling his own cheeks heat up. “If... if you need some time, th-that’s okay! I-I, ah... understand it’s so sudden.” His hand hesitates for a moment... before he goes to slowly comb it through Kokichi’s locks. “You don’t need to give an answer right away.”

“Shumai...” He emits a soft sigh at the hair strokes, relaxing into his hand. Shuichi was always so considerate of his feelings like that... it made his heart all the more fuzzier. “.........” And before he knew it... Kokichi lifts his head up and starts crawling closer up to Shuichi’s face. Gray eyes would be greeted with meek, purple ones. Then, with bated breath... wraps hisi arms around his neck, and leans in to plant a kiss to Shuichi’s lips.

“...!” He didn’t have time to ask what was up when Kokichi suddenly brought his face so much closer when he kissed him. His eyes widened and it felt like fireworks going of in his chest. But for once, he wasn’t going to try so hard to process something he did not expect to happen at all. He will just go along with it.... and happily lean into his kiss, eyes slowly coming to a close as he did so. “Mm...” A low hum vibrates through him into the kiss. The arm still wrapped around Kokichi, now rubs slow circles into his back, while the other twirls a lock of hair around his finger. This felt so nice.... and his lips felt so soft. “...Kokichi....” He softly whispers into it. This felt like heaven to him...

Doing something so sudden like this... Kokichi was screaming internally. He hoped he didn’t just become far too forward, making Shuichi uncomfortable. But he was just... so overwhelmed with happiness and love for him, that he wanted to psychically express that, rather than with words alone. He would kick himself if he still did the wrong, though... but the moment he felt Shuichi lean in to deepen it, uttering his name so lovingly like that... it made his worries dissipate. He was so relieved and happy... and even once they would have to catch their breath, one kiss wasn’t enough. Now that he knew Shuichi liked it too, he wanted more. “Sh...Shuichi...” He whispers in between pants. The gaze he gives Shuichi is slightly intense, but pouring with love. Then without missing a beat, he leans in to plant another, slightly deeper kiss. And then another, and another... he loved the feel of Shuichi’s lips. He wanted to keep indulging in this feeling, not wanting to stop until he would truly have to. 

The hand that was playing with his hair, moved to caress his cheek when Kokichi whispered his name like that, a half-lidded gaze returning the loving one Kokichi gave him. And each kiss Kokichi gave him, Shuichi near eagerly returned. He didn’t want to stop, either: he wanted to just kiss him over and over if he could. But eventually, the two had to catch their breath for real, now. Heavy pants emit from the two, faces an even deeper, heated red. “H-Hah....hah....th...that was...” A small, shy smile eventually appears on his face. “Th-That was nice.... I wouldn’t mind doing that more often....”

“Nishishi... you nerd....” He fondly teases, giving him his own small, but genuine smile. “Yeah, kissing you is now going to be my new favorite thing to do, so you’d better prepare yourself, detective~!” Then, Kokichi goes silent for a brief moment. The smile on his face grows warmer.... the warmest Shuichi would ever see from him. “.....I love you, too. And I always want to be with Shumai, too... Th-There.” Ohh how he hates it when he genuinely stammers like that. “I’m so embarrassed, I could die! You’ve got to remedy this by giving me lots of cuddles and kisses, Shuichi!” 

“H-Hehe.....Koki...” Hearing Kokichi say it back, made his heart soar. He gives him a much warmer and brighter smile, giggling as he listened to him continue on. “H-Hahaa, well that’s only if y-you don’t kill me with adorableness, first! B...But yes, I hear you loud and clear. Anything for my....ah.....b-boyfriend....”

“Boyfriend...” That’s right, he thought: now that they both confessed their feelings, and want to be together.... that made them boyfriends, now. He could feel his heart giddily bouncing around in his chest, again. Now he had a much bigger and brighter smile on his face, cuddling Shuichi even more wildly as he exclaims: “Yes, that’s right! I’m Shumai’s boyfriend!! And he’s mine~! Mmm and sorry, I don’t think I’ll stop killing you like that. Now I am waitiiiing!” 

“Y-Yes!! And oh my god, y-you are so...!” A rare unrestrained, bright laugh emits from Shuichi, as he starts cuddling Kokichi just as much now, and plants several soft kisses to his lips in between giggles. A very satisfied and happy squeal leaves Kokichi when Shuichi gives him just what he wanted, kissing him back just as eagerly and in between giggles as well. And to think, this is all happened because he decided to play a silly prank on Shuichi. He couldn’t had been any more proud of himself for being so chaotic and silly unprompted like that.

(Tw: Rant)

I hope you don’t mind that I’m venting again. I just find so much comfort in your blog and something just really bothered me today. I got an ask that made me mad, and I wanna feel some sort of comfort. Especially from one Saiouma fan to another

Why can’t people just respect other people’s comfort ships? I also ship Saiouma myself, and you can’t go one day in this fandom without getting bashed on it. It’s not toxic, it’s not forced, it’s not stupid! It’s my personal comfort ship and I find it cute. Yes, it’s one sided, but that doesn’t equate to “toxic”. That’s like saying my crush on a celebrity is toxic cause that celebrity doesn’t like me back (or even know I exist). Is Kokichi fucking hurting/harming Shuichi? Please don’t twist Saiouma into something it isn’t and then tell me “Don’t get upset, they’re just fictional characters” At the end of the day, I know they are. It’s just.....in my heart, they’re more than that. Saiouma provides me comfort when I was going through some of the darkest times in my life. It helped me cope with a lot of my mental illnesses and hardships. I fucking love it and anyone who can’t respect someone else’s happiness is an idiot

i don’t mind your rants at all!! i’m glad you find comfort in my blog :) and i definitely agree, saiouma isn’t toxic, it’s just the killing game situation and implied one-sidedness that convinces everyone it is. but there’s a lot of other things in that ship! good things! it’s okay to disagree with saiouma, but it’s not okay to purposefully make someone feel bad for shipping it and to completely act like saiouma is all bad.

ships can really help someone feel comforted so i completely understand where you’re coming from! saiouma is my comfort ship too and kokichi is one of my biggest comfort characters! these fictional characters mean a lot to me <3

KOKICHI POV

“So, Nagisa. I heard you’re getting a new caretaker?”

I looked at Nagisa, pitying the poor boy. He never had good parents. They would always force the youngling to work, days over days, sometimes hitting him to help him stay awake. That’s his reason for being very smart at a young age.

I would always stay here with him in the afternoon, occupying him so he doesn’t have to go back home.

“Mhm! I heard he’s a boy, I hope he’s nice!”

I smiled at the small boy. Even with all the despair he has been through during his life, he still had a glimpse of hope resting in his heart. I admired him for this, he was very strong for pulling through all the drama, especially as a child.

“Y’know, I’m gonna miss going here when I grow up. Will I ever see you again?”

“I mean, I could probably get in contact with your new caretaker, and could visit you once in a while…”

“I don’t wanna leave this place…”

I comforted him as his tears threatened to fall from his eyes, tracing random designs on his back, listening to his troubles. I suddenly heard a knock on the door. I energetically got up from my seat, Nagisa following close behind me, and then opened the door.

There was a man with teal blue hair and a detective uniform standing at the door. He looked kinda sexy-

“Hello, Mr. Detective~ You here for something?”

He stared at me before handing me a few slips of paper. Adoption papers? Wha-

“Who are you?”

Nagisa was a little scared, as he was a detective. The poor boy probably thought that the man was here for something serious.

I hushed Nagisa as I pulled him infront of me, giving him a good view of the man.

“My apologies…I’m Shuichi Saihara. Nice to meet you.”

I nodded at him and decided to introduce Nagisa and myself/

“I’m Kokichi Ouma, and this is Nagisa. Judging by the adoption papers, I’m guessing you’re here for Nagisa?”

He nodded and shook the hand I held out to him. He had such a calming voice…

“Are you mean?”

“I promise I’m no-“

“You smell like coffee.

“Wha-“

“Nagisa, it’s not ok to interrupt people y’know.”

Nagisa muttered a small ‘sorry’ to me and the man before getting his bag. He peered up at me with teary eyes. I could tell he didn’t want to go with a new parent, due to trust issues. I sighed and pat him on the head.

“You better take care of him.”

Shuichi smiled at me, reassuring that everything was going to be fine. I held out my phone with my contacts open.

“Phone number?”

I asked him as he took my phone (and ran off with it) and he handed me his, and we both entered each other’s phone number. Nagisa smiled as I showed him my phone, his eyes gleaming with hope and joy. I couldn’t help but smile back at him. Shuichi even grinned at us placing his hands gently on Nagisa’s shoulder. I waved them goodbye as they waved back, Nagisa ranting to Shuichi about me. I’m glad I was able to make him happy. I walked around the small room, arranging everything back into its normal places and counting all the items to see if they were still there. 10 paint brushes, 2 art easels, 20 pencils, 5 paint palettes, 40 books and 7 whiteboard markers. Looks like I’m running low on markers, I’ll grab some in the morning. I smiled and locked the door behind me. I strolled down the street under the glowing sky, showing colours of orange, yellow, red, and peach. I sat calmly at the bus stop, taking off my painting apron and stuffing it into my bag neatly. I placed earplugs into my ears and started playing my favourite playlist.

Soon the bus arrived, squeaking its brakes as it parked into the bus stop. I sighed and planted my feet onto the ground as boarded the bus. It didn’t take long to get home.

||Time Skip Cuz Lazy||

I jingled my keys as I brought them out of my pocket, slotting them into the lock and opening the doors to the kindergarten. I walked in, turning on the fans by a little, and the lights. I began to write whatever was happening onto the big whiteboard and restocked my pens. I smiled as children and parent sprawled into the room, yet keeping an eye out for Nagisa. If he had any new scars or bruises, or darker eyebags, Shuichi won’t be waking up the next day. I waited about five minutes, everyone was here, but the two people I had been waiting for.

Suddenly, the doors swung open, and I spotted Shuichi giving the small child a piggy-back ride. I smiled as they both grinned back at me, Nagisa climbing off the adults back and running over to me.

“Kokichi! You won’t believe it! He let me use his magnifying glass and we went to the park. He even pushed me on the swing! I love my new dad!”

I grinned wider, glad Shuichi was giving him a good treatment. He even said he loved him.

“That’s great Nagisa! I’m grateful that Shuichi has been treating you right.”

Shuichi lovingly hugged Nagisa.

“I better go, or I’ll be late for work! Bye, have a good day you two! I love both of you!”

The young boy I waved goodbye as the detective briskly walked out of the kindergarten building, waving us goodbye, blushing. Wait, he loved both of us…?

||POV Change||

SHUICHI POV

I walked out the door, blushing crazily. I can’t believe I said that. I’m so embarrassed…

I hopped into the car, driving down to the detective agency. When I had first met Kokichi, I thought he looked a little cute, but I just ignored my thoughts. I’ll just tell him I was talking Nagisa and his non-existent imaginary friend…yeah I’ll just do that.

I arrived at the agency, closing the door gently behind me and taking in a deep breath. The aroma of coffee wafted around the area. No wonder I smelt like coffee…According to Nagisa anyways.

“Good morning Mr. Saihara. You looked like you’ve slept well!”

My partner, detective Kirigiri. I grinned at her, starting to tell her about Nagisa. She nodded at me while I spoke, thankful that I finally had something to cheer me up. I had been so busy with work lately that I was so tired to even show much emotion.

“So, Shuichi. We have a new case to work on.”

“Hm? What’s it about?”

“Just a new murder case, the usual.”

I nodded at her getting my file reports organized and ready. She gave me some evidence, suspect reports, reports of the victim and the time and place of the murder.

“It seemed to be planned too…”

I muttered as she passed over a small picture which showed the room.

“Huh?”

I pointed at the picture, spotting a nearly invisible ‘escape route plan’ peeking out of the screen. You could only see half of it though.

“That’s new…”

“Wait…How did you know this wasn’t there? Weren’t you at the crime scene?”

“It was a photo in the victims camera roll. You were correct, I was there, but it seems like the killer needed this to escape.”

“That makes sense.”

“So, the killer must’ve either been scared they would mess up, has a bad memory or had minimum time to figure this out…”

She agreed with me and pointed to the wall again, pointing back to the photo.

“There seems to be something white in the vents that we never checked.”

She stated bluntly while narrowing her eyes to get a better look.

“You’re right! Why didn’t you check the vents though…?”

“Rats.”

“Wha-“

I shrugged it off and looked back at Kyoko, then the picture again. She smirked at me and placed a hand on my shoulder.

“You wanna check it out, don’t you.”

“Kinda-“

“Well, what are you waiting for?”

I followed her out of the building, and we entered the car park, halting to a stop right infront of a shining, neon purple motorcycle. It gleamed in the sunlight and Kyoko continued to smirk at me.

“Chickening out?”

“N-No..”

“Good.”

She grabbed a helmet off the dark purple handlebars and gave it to me, claiming to have a spare one in her bag that she could wear. Which she did.

She hopped onto the motorcycle, gesturing for me to do the same. I gulped and lifted my leg over the seat and sat down, trembling.

“Hold on tight!”

I didn’t hesitate to do exactly as she told me. She revved the engine, and we took off down the road, her purple hair flowing viciously in the wind. I was petrified. We were going veryfast. I gulped as I felt the wind blow in my face. I rested my chin on Kirigiri’s shoulder, avoiding her purple hair flowing into my face as we raced around the city. The city lights were blurred, and people looked like smudge marks. I peered down at the road, barely able to adjust to the distorted white line and concrete. I felt a sickening dizziness, and my head just couldn’t keep up with my blurry surroundings. Yet, I felt like I was in heaven. The glorious wind blowing in my face, the soothing noises of the motorcycle engine, and the feel of Kyoko’s warmth. I closed my eyes, loosing touch with everything around me. I was in my own little world. That was, until I sensed the motorcycle slow to a halt and Kyoko’s small weight lift off the motorcycle. But since I was laying on her, she lifted me up too without realizing, and my body went tumbling forward, Kyoko’s doing the same.

“Sorry…”

I sighed and apologized, staring at the ground. She arose from the ground, dusting off her uniform and patting me delicately on my back.

“No worries, Saihara-Kun. Just be careful next time.”

I nodded as we barged into the murder scene, nobody being there.

“Watch out. We cannot predict anything. Expect the unexpected.”

I remembered her wise words and examined the room, Kirigiri assisting me by lifting me up, since I weighed less, and I unscrewed the vents to see a rat. Great. I sneakily snatched the paper and Kyoko lowered me back down to the ground, peering over my shoulder to see if anything useful was written on the small piece of white paper. It read,

Sorry, my dear friend.

“So, the victim was the culprit’s friend….

“Seems so.”

“Wait, why wasn’t it near the victim then?”

“When we arrived, the fan was on, making it completely possible to blow into the vents, in which the paper could slip through, and the rats could’ve possibly taken it.”

I nodded to show my agreement and we inspected the room a little longer. I spotted her typing on her phone a few moments later, sighing.

“Saihara-Kun.”

“Y-Yes?”

“Are you gonna leave your kid at kindergarten or…”

Shuichi blankly stared down at his wrist, reading the time.

2:12

Nagisa’s kindergarten ended at 2:00. He was over the other side of the city. He would be very late, as they had no car.

“Take my motorcycle. I want to stay a bit longer anyways.”

“Really? Thank you Kirigiri-San!”

I rushed out of the building, grabbing a sleek blue helmet and boarded the motorcycle. The wheels screeched as I raced across the city, my hair spasming in the wind. The motorbike’s wheels whirred as they rolled along the road, forcing the motorbike to drive faster. My hands gripped the handlebars incredibly tight, fearing the vehicle would stir out of control if I didn’t have power over the handlebars.

There it was. The kindergarten. I zoomed towards it, halting to a stop in the parking lot. I rushed inside, panting heavily as Kokichi and Nagisa were staring at me. The small, blue-haired boy ran over, enveloping me in a tight hug. I lovingly hugged back, patting his back in the process.

“Where were you? Parents shouldn’t be late, y’know.”

I gulped and peered up at the kindergarten teacher, mentally scolding myself. I knew I shouldn’t have been late. If it wasn’t for my partner, I would’ve left Nagisa there until I suddenly realized that he wasn’t anywhere nearby.

“Kokichi, don’t blame Dad! He had a really important case today!”

“Alright, just tell me next time.”

I muttered a sorry, and nodded, showing my understanding. The kindergarten teacher walked up to me, swiftly patting Nagisa’s head for a short period of time, then shifted to face me. I gulped, fearing I would get in trouble for not being a ‘good parent’.

“Why’d you call both of us cute.”

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about-“

“Why.”

I looked to the side, shivering a little and sighing. I soon peered back at him.

“Look..”

My ahoge resembled a deflated balloon. It was deformed, bent at every inch.

“It just slipped out, okay…?”

He looked at me, unamused, rolling his eyes and sighing.

“Totally…”

“Well, Nagisa and I have to go…”

“Alrighty! See you Nagisa!”

“What about me-“

“What about you?”

I rolled my eyes as I watched Kokichi ruffle Nagisa’s hair. He looked down at the boy expectantly.

“Nagisa has wanted to ask you something, but he’s clearly too shy…”

He nudged Nagisa knowingly, as the small boy stuttered out words.

“Well…I was wondering if some of my friends could have a sleepover…I’ve never had one, and…”

There was an awkward silence as my mind scanned over what I had planned next week. Nothing.

“Or not! T-That’s fine t-too!”

He looked sad and embarrassed at the same time, fiddling uneasily with his fingers, making eye contact with the ground.

“No, its fine! I was just trying to remember if I had anything scheduled next week…We can have one!”

Nagisa’s eye lit up, sparkles glimmering in his blue orbs. He shined so brightly as he bounced around the room excitedly. Then I realized something.

“Wait-“

“What?”

Kokichi looked up at me, clearly waiting for an answer.

“How am I gonna get Kyoko’s motorbike back to her-“

“You drove a motorcycle.”

“Yes-“

Kokichi jingled the keys on his short fingers, swaying them from side to side. He stared into my eyes, smiling.

“Want a ride then? I could pack the motorbike in the back of my car and drop it of to ‘whatever her name is’.”

“Kirigiri.”

“Right.”

The three of us strolled out of the kindergarten, after Kokichi had tidied up all the mess and checked up on everything, locking the doors behind us as we exited the building. Hopping into the car, we all drove off down the road, me directing the other adult towards the crime scene. Leaving the car, I unpacked the motorbike as Kokichi and Nagisa followed me in. I shifted to look back at the others.

“Uhm, I don’t think Nagisa should see this…”

“Why?”

I leaned into Kokichi’s ear and whispered to him.

“Dead body.”

He bobbed his head to show his agreement, Nagisa looking back and forth at us, confused. He held an arm infront of Nagisa, restricting him from going further, as I entered the building.

||POV CHANGE||

NAGISA POV

I watched as Dad entered the house, a bit worried. Why couldn’t I go in there? I decided to ask Kokichi.

“Why can’t I go in? What’s even in there?”

“Something you don’t want to see.”

I gave him a look of uncertainty, waiting for Dad to come back. I was a little worried, so I decided to start a conversation.

“I think you like Dad, am I right?”

“He seems pretty nice, probably would be a good friend.”

“No, you like Dad in that way. Not friendship, love.”

His eyes widened as he blushed furiously.

“W-Why would you t-think that, N-Nagisa?”

“So, you do like him.”

“N-No! I don’t!”

I rolled my eyes a little. It was so obvious. The whole time Kokichi and I were waiting for Dad, he was talking about him. Literally the whole time. I remember our conversation, word for word.

||Flashback||

“Alright! Time to go everyone!”

Kokichi opened the doors, the young children flooding out of the kindergarten. He sighed as he looked around after all the young kids were safely returned to their parents.

“Nagisa, where’s Shuichi?”

“He told me he was investigating today, apparently it was really serious!”

“Right…”

Kokichi sat on one of the chairs, relaxing his legs and leaning against the table. I did the same, and looked at him.

“Y’know, Shuichi is kinda hot.”

“Wha-“

“His hair is pretty, don’t you think?”

All I could do is agree. Kokichi peered down at his watch. 2:10. He sighed.

“I’m just going to text him-“

“Don’t.”

“Why not?”

“He never answers when he’s at work…”

Kokichi fiddled the phone in his hands, clearly annoyed. Probably wanted to see Shuichi. Who knows?

“I know someone who does answer their phone though.”

He peered at me and handed me his phone. I cheerfully took it and tried to memorize their number. Typing it in, I quickly added the number to Kokichi’s contacts and texted the person. I had seen their number when Shuichi and Kokichi exchanged phone numbers.

‘Hello, do you know Shuichi Saihara by any chance? If so, do you know where he is?’

‘Yes, Shuichi is my work partner at the detective agency. We are currently investigating together. Who is this?’

‘This is Nagisa, his adoptive son. I’m texting him on my kindergarten teacher’s phone. I just wanted to tell him that kindergarten ended 12 minutes ago.’

‘Thank you Nagisa. I will have Shuichi know. He sure is forgetful.’

‘Thank you! Can I please know your name?’

‘Kyoko. Kyoko Kirigiri.’

‘Wait, how do you know my number?’

‘I memorized it when I saw Shuichi and my teacher exchange numbers. Sorry if that’s creepy or anything…’

‘It’s fine. I have to go now. Goodbye Nagisa!’

‘Bye!’

I turned off the phone, the glowing screen fading into pitch black darkness. I peered at Kokichi, telling him that Shuichi should be here soon.

||Present Time||

We were still waiting for Shuichi when I spotted Kyoko and himself exit the huge building. Kyoko stared at me, grinning slightly.

“Are you Nagisa?”

I nodded as she walked up to me, ruffling my hair playfully, then glaring at Shuichi. I could see him gulp and look away.

“And you are…?”

“I’m Kokichi, Nagisa’s teacher.”

“Nice to meet you.”

They shook hands, smiling at each other joyfully.

||POV CHANGE||

KIRIGIRI POV

I’m a little disappointed in Shuichi if I’m being honest.

Leaving your kid who’s in kindergarten with his teacher?

I mean, me and Shuichi have known each other since we were kids and happened to get into the same agency. I know Shuichi. He is forgetful, but not this forgetful. I mentally facepalmed at his previous actions and shook hands with Kokichi.

Nagisa and Kokichi look like they have a close relationship.

I disconnected our hands, watching as Kokichi signalled for Shuichi to enter the car. The two closed the doors behind them, waiting for Nagisa to say goodbye. The younglings hand reached for the door handle, struggling to open the car door. I went to assist him, just to realise it was locked. Shuichi and Kokichi strained to unlock the doors from the inside.

How did this even happen-

“D-Dad!”

Nagisa panicked as he saw the two people he seemed to be the closest to stuck inside the black and white car. I sighed as I saw the trapped kindergarten teacher flirt with the parent. Shuichi literally looked like his parents were a combination of a tomato and strawberry. I watched them as they continued to flirt together. I mentally facepalmed and refocused on the incident infront of me.

I saw Nagisa’s confused face as he walked up to peer through the window, prying into their business. I gently tapped the window, catching their attention.

“Are you two lovebirds done?”

I yelled from the other side of the window. They both were facing me, furiously blushing. In full honesty, they look like they dyed their faces bright pink.

“I’m going to break the window- “

“NAGISA DON’T- “

Too late. Nagisa had grabbed a rock off the ground and pounded it against the window.

“Really- “

“Sorry I was panicking…”

“It’s fine…”

“I guess we’re driving back with a broken window.”

“I guess they call you a detective for a reason!”

Kokichi laughed at his own joke as Shuichi giggled as well. It was so obvious they liked each other, they were so blind and dense. I could tell they liked each other, yet they were uncertain the other loved them back. I sighed and grabbed my purple helmet, putting the blue one Shuichi used in my sleek black bag.

“I’ll be going now.”

I waved goodbye as I hopped onto the motorbike, smiling as my purple streaks of hair flowed relaxingly behind me as I sped down the road. Out of the corner of my eyes. I could see the Kokichi pull Shuichi into a quick kiss through the car’s windscreen, Nagisa just staring in horror. Poor innocent thing.

“Hey Nagisa…Hey Jataro…I was thinking, I really want to get away from my parents…Do you know anything I could do?”

Kotoko raised a finger to her chin, in deep thought, looking a little depressed. Jataro looked sad as well.

“I just want to get away from everyone…”

Nagisa peered down, sad from seeing his friends loose hope. Monaca wheeled herself over to join our conversation.

“I just want someone to notice me…”

Masaru sat on the ground soon after, despairful.

“I just want to have a peaceful household…”

Nagisa peered down at the ground, wanting to encourage his friends to be joyful. Sure, he had trauma as well, but there is still happiness. He just began to spit out words of reassurance to his small group of friends.

“Jataro, why would you want to disappear from everyone? We are all here. We want you to be here. What’s that point in leaving everyone if everyone needs you here?”

He peered up at Nagisa, who was staring at him, the boy’s wise words causing a smile to form on his face.

“Monaca, we are your friends We notice you. Stop acting like nobody does, because if you haven’t already guessed, you are our friend. We notice you. Why would I be talking to you if I didn’t know you were here?”

She smiled at the blue haired boy, watching as some of the other kindergarten teachers came over. Komaru, Toko and Nagito stood there, watching their students, along with Kokichi who the whole time had secretly been there, unnoticed.

“Masaru! Kotoko! I think I have a solution to your problems!”

Nagisa shouted as the teachers watched, inspired by the boy’s acts of hope. Nagito especially. Toko had to slap a hand over his mouth so they wouldn’t interrupt the kids. Nagisa thought of the time where he was talking to Kirigiri while saying his goodbyes. She had told him these exact words.

“Shuichi has been so happy since he adopted you, y’know. I’ve been thinking about what my future would be like if I had a child. Say, did you know any that need a better home? I do want more than one though…”

“There is a solution I might have, but I need to check. Also, my Dad agreed on the idea to have a sleepover!”

“Sounds great!”

Everyone cheered in unison as they started planning what they would do, also deciding what snacks to bring. Monaca was spinning in her wheelchair in excitement, Masaru pushing her around in circles while Jataro inspired them to continue. Kotoko and Nagisa were drawing each other with crayons, Kokichi sitting on the other side of the table, spreading conversations.

Soon enough, it was time to go home. They all wished each other goodbye, as Kokichi drove Nagisa back to their house. They parked in the driveway, to see Shuichi waiting for them on their front porch.

“Good afternoon you two! How was your day?”

Kokichi ruffled Nagisa’s hair as he explained his day to Shuichi, also asking if he could tell Kirigiri about what I had found out.

“Ah- Sorry, Kyoko wants to see me. I will tell her the news as well Nagisa.”

“Bye!”

The small boy and Kokichi cheered and waved in unison, watching as Shuichi peered back at them, about to leave.

“Bye! I love both of you. And this time, I mean it.”

Summary:

"Who is Kokichi Ouma?" was the question they all asked themselves upon meeting him. Kokichi Ouma was Junko Enoshima's son, heir to the great fashion empire of 'Dangan Ronpa'. Kokichi Ouma was the Ultimate Supreme Leader to an evil organisation of over ten thousand members. Kokichi Ouma was a cruel and heartless liar - someone who enjoyed the confusion and pain of others.

"Who is Monarch Butterfly?" was the question upon their lips as soon as they heard tell of him. Monarch Butterfly was a hero of Tokyo, alongside Ladybird and Black Jack. Monarch Butterfly was a good person who gave up his own health and happiness to protect others. Monarch Butterfly was a figure shrouded in mystery.

Monarch Butterfly was a hero. Kokichi Ouma was a liar. They couldn't be more opposite. Or could they?

Oh, and, @backupyouhoe, this is a Kaito Momota-centric chapter (from Kokichi’s perspective) so I think you may really like this one! Thank you again for the inspiration (and the nickname, which I will use when I can fit it in because it is inspired!).

pregame saiouma

a random fic i wrote x3 pregame saiouma, fluff, sfw

"Yeah, see ya."

Like every other day at school, Shuichi said goodbye to Kokichi with a big smile on his face. Somehow, him and this weird guy became.. Friends. For some reason Kokichi ignored, he followed him everywhere. He were a really lonely and chill dude, he had no one exept Kokichi. He didnt think about it; it was an usual thing. Shuichi walked him home everday.

Kokichi suddenly got a notification on his phone.

"Unknown: Hi, it's Shuichi. I just realized i never texted you before, haha.. Sorry. Are you home right now? "

Oh. Him again.

"Kokichi : Oh, hi Shuichi ! I forgot i gave you my number, lol. Uhm yes, why? "

"Shuichi : I'm sorry to ask. That's a little weird. Since we have a lot of math to do for tomorrow, do you mind if i come over? We could do it together. No need to say yes, of course! It's okay if you don't want me to. I'll understand. You don't know me that well, after all."

Math..? Kokichi completely forgot about it. Actually, he were way too lazy to do it. It'd sure be easier if Shuichi were here... He would probabily do half of the work for him. Kokichi just had to pretend he didnt understand and Saihara would explain and give the answers. That's exactly what he planned to do..

"Kokichi : I completely forgot about those math homeworks! Yeah, i'd gladly invite you! Would you mind helping me a bit with some exercices..? "

"Shuichi : no, not at all. I'll help you. Thank you for accepting my request.. :) Coming in 10 minutes! "

10 minutes.. That was enough for Kokichi to quicky clean his room. That's what he did.

"Shuichi : i'm here. "

Oh, alredy there.

--

He opened the door, to find Shuichi in a different outfit than usual. At school, he always had his jacket. He took it off this time; he just had his shirt and tie. He still didnt take off this damn hat.. Does he sleep with it?

-Ah-- hey! Come in!

-aha, thank you..!

He came in and Kokichi closed the door after him.

-Uhm.. I-if you dont mind me asking.. Do you live alone?

-ah- yes, i do. No worries!

-O-oh, sorry. I see.

-No problem! My room is over here, we can work on my desk!

-Yeah, sure !! Thank you so much, Kokichi.

-Haha, no problem! Thank you for coming.

They both sat and opened their copybooks- and started working. After a few minutes, Kokichi asked :

-Shuichi..? I have a question, if you dont mind.

-mhh! About which exercise ?

-Ah- Actually, it's about you. I'm sorry for asking but.. Why do you never take off your hat?

-...

-I-i'm sorry !! That wasnt meant to be mean or anything..

-No no, don't worry haha.. It's just that people asks me that a lot. No reason.. I wear it because i like how it looks, i guess..

Kokichi couldnt even see his face because of this damn hat. He decided to see by himself- and suddenly took it off.

-Ah-! Wait-!!

He were blushing. He seemed embarassed. It was the first time Kokichi saw Shuichi's face that well. He had such a pretty face.. His eyes had such a beautiful color and, all of his features in general, were pretty. He looked handsome. His hairs were kinda messy; and he had that funny little strand of hairs above his head. It was adorable. He were adorable. He tried to hide his face with his hand; while trying to get his hat back.

-Haha, nope!! Were friends, right Shuichi? Then let me see your face.

-B-but- I uh- I-i'm so sorry.. I look so weird without my hat..

-I think you look cute!!

He blushed even more. It made him even cuter.

-Ah- T-thanks..

He took his hand off his face and smiled. Kokichi always thought he were a pretty attractive guy, but seeing him like this made him realise how beautiful he were.

-I wanna kiss you.

Kokichi said to himself.

-uh? What did you say?

-A-Ah! Nothing, nothing. I'm uhm.. Kinda tired of the homeworks.

Kokichi's heart were beating so fast, and his whole body felt so hot. It was such a weird feeling.. He never felt that before. He just wanted to get closer to Shuichi, no matter what. He just wanted him.. Closer. That was weird. Was that love..? Sexual attraction..? That didnt felt right.

-yeah, same.. We can stop for a bit, mhh?

-yeah, sure. So.. What do you wanna do, Shu?

Shu. He just called him Shu. He looked suprised at first, but immediatly smiled.

-Whathever you want! I'm fine with anything.

-Alright.. We see eachother at school, but finally, i dont know a lot about you. What about a truth and dare..?

Kokichi were so confident about that. He didnt even sutter or anything. He usually did. But not this time. It was a good thing!

-Y-yeah! Okay! You start!

He smiled.

-Truth or dare, Shuichi ?

-Truth !

-Alright. Hmm.. Uhmm... Ever had your first kiss?

He blushed.

-N-no..

For some reason, Kokichi were happy about it.

-don't be embarassed! I didnt either.

-oh.. Ah. Truth or dare?

-Truth too~!

-Mhh.. Which one of us will kiss someone first? I mean.. We could do a little game. Like, if i kiss someone first, you owe me something, and same goes for you. That could be fun, don't you think..? Ah. I'm so sorry if that sounded weird...

-Hah! That's a good idea! Definitely. Lets do that; sooo what's the "price" ?

-uhm.. A drink, maybe?

-Yep, okay! I wonder who will lose.. Truth or dare?

-Dare.

That was bold. Kokichi had something in mind. He needed to do it. No matter what it takes..

-mhh.. Oh, about that game. What if... We kiss eachother? Then everyone would win?

-H-huh?? K-kiss eachother..?

-Hah! You said dare, right?

He got up and got closer to Saihara.

-Yeah..

-Kiss me, then.

-Ah-!! b-but Kokichi i uh... I don't- Hmm!!!

Ouma felt Shuichi's lips against his. He did it. He fucking kissed him. And Saihara kissed back. It felt so, so nice.. Shuichi gently pulled Kokichi closer, without breaking the kiss.

After long seconds, they finally stopped.

-... Y-you're good at this, Shuichi. I-it felt uhm.. R-really nice.

They were both red and shaking from what just happened.

-Kokichi..-

-Please don't say anything. I-i'm ashamed.

-N-no no!! Don't be!! I-it was great. Come here.

He got up too, and gently hugged Kokichi. It felt warm, and comforting..

Shuichi pulled away. He sat on Kokichi's bed.

-Cmhere, sit next to me.

He did. Shuichi took him in his arms and lied down. They were now.. cuddling in Kokichi's bed?

-You're the best, Shuichi. .. Mind staying here tonight ?

-Not at all.. No ones waiting for me. I'll stay here.

-you.. Smell nice, Shu. And you're warm.. Ah- s-sorry if that's weird.

-T-thanks.. You do to, Kokichi.

He pulled ouma even closer and kissed him on the forehead.

-You're adorable.

They both fell asleep like that.

Teddy Bear: A Saiouma Fluff

If there was one thing Kokichi enjoyed about being a liar, it was the fact that he could hide anything from anyone. It was a good thing that he was such a great liar, because he had a secret that nobody knew about him. That secret was, that he still slept with a stuffed animal. 

It wasn't a big secret compared to what others secrets were, but it was a big secret to him. Kokichi had a reputation, he was the ultimate supreme leader for crying out loud! Kokichi thought about the secret as he read the invitation from Kaede once again. "Class slumber party tomorrow night in the gym! Boys and girls both invited. Come out for snacks, movies, and truth or dare!" 

Kokichi had to make a decision. He wanted to go, but at the same time he couldn't. Kokichi had never gotten to sleep without his stuffed animal, and he couldn't necessarily bring it with him, he would get made fun of. Kokichi thought more and more about it, then he realized. "Shumai!", He thought to himself. Now he absolutely couldn't bring his stuffed animal, knowing his crush would most likely find out about his secret. It would ruin any chance he had with the detective. 

Anxious, Kokichi rolled over on his side and looked at his small purple stuffed dinosaur. It was a gift from his parents before he started at Hope's Peak, it reminded him of home. Kokichi gave the dinosaur a tight squeeze before falling asleep. He needed a lot of rest before deciding what he would do about the slumber party.

The sun shined brightly on Kokichi's purple locks. Slowly, Kokichi stirred awake and realized that today was the day of his class slumber party. "Maybe I just shouldn't go...", Kokichi said to himself out loud. "But this could be the perfect opportunity to tell my beloved how I feel!", Kokichi stated to himself out loud. He had made up his mind, he was going to sleep at this slumber party and tell Shuichi how he felt without the stuffed animal. Though the slumber party wasn't until later, Kokichi got everything ready now. He gathered everything he may need for the night and paused for a second. He stared at the stuffed animal for a good minute, could he really sleep without it? He picked it up and inspected it, "I don't need it. I'm 17 years old!", he said to himself, before tossing the stuffed animal under his bed. After gathering his things, he placed it in a backpack near his door and started towards the dining hall. 

Eventually he got to the dining hall and was greeted by no one other than his favorite detective. "Kokichi! Good morning.", Shuichi said smiling. "Nihihi! Good morning Shumai~", Kokichi said, smiling brightly back at his beloved. "So, the slumber party is tonight.", Shuichi said, sounding slightly nervous. "Aaah, does my beloved want me to go so I can sleep with him?", Kokichi asked jokingly. "K-kokichi!", Shuichi replied, blushing. "Nihihi! I'll go just for you my beloved!", Kokichi said, walking away from Shuichi. "I did it! I finally told Saihara-Chan the truth!", Kokichi thought to himself, beaming. Kokichi eventually walked back to his room, excited for the night ahead of him.

A few hours passed and Kokichi went to the gym to help with preparations. They set up  separated sides for the boys and girls, and multiple snack stations. This slumber party was gonna be a night to remember for Kokichi, and others.

After about an hour, everything was prepared and it was time for the party to start. One after another everyone started piling into the gym, readying their sleeping bags and other night time necessities. Once everyone was settled in, they began to start their slumber party.

“Thank you so much to everyone who came! I’m so excited to spend this night with all of you!”, Kaede said as she smiled and clapped her hands together. Kokichi has never been close with Kaede sure, but seeing her happy did make him smile a bit. Kokichi looked around until he finally spotted his favorite detective.

“Saihara-Channn!”, Kokichi called out playfully with his hands behind his head. “Kokichi! I’m really glad to see that you’re here.”, Shuichi said smiling. “Nihihi, I never knew that the detective needed me to have a good time.”, Kokichi said slickly, though Shuichi was his beloved, he loved messing with him.

“I just thought it would be cool to...spend some time with you yknow?”, Shuichi mumbled blushing. “I love spending time with you too Shumai!”, Kokichi exclaimed, he was happy that he and Shuichi were having an actual conversation. Time passed, and they were ready to begin the first event of the night they would remember forever.

“Ok everyone first we’re gonna play a mobile game called among us!”, Kirumi said. Kirumi never played games a lot before, so getting to play among us was kind of a big deal for her. Considering the class only had 16 students, they decided to split 8 and 8. Group one including Shuichi, Miu, Kaede, Kaito, Kokichi, Himiko, and Tenko. Whilst the 2nd group was Korekiyo, Angie, Maki, Kirumi, Gonta, Ryoma, Rantaro, and Tsumugi.

“Alright everyone! Be sure to be nice and have fun!”, Kaede smiled. Soon the first game started and Kokichi was imposter. “Nihihi, this game knows me so well” Kokichi thought to himself before proceeding to play the game well. He killed Miu first of course, and then Kaito. Soon enough though, he was found out by his favorite detective. “Nihihi, such a great detective Shumai~”, Kokichi smiled. Though he wanted to win, he couldn’t stop his attraction from the detective seeing through all of his lies.

The night went on like normal, with fun truth or dare to interesting movies. Soon enough though, it was time to go to sleep.

“Ahhhh, goodnight everyone!”, Kaede yawned, she was tired after having so much fun with everyone. “Goodnight, Kaede!”, Shuichi said, he was very tired as well. “Shumai you’re really gonna sleep with that emo hat?!”, Kokichi asked teasingly. “Hahaha, then how about you hold onto it for me?”, Shuichi said smiling, placing the hat on the smaller boys’ head.

“Goodnight Kokichi.”, Shuichi yawned before finally falling asleep. Kokichi eventually tried to fall asleep as well, but when he tried, he had awful awful dreams.

Kokichi’s dream:

“As if you of all people could ever get me to love you!”, Shuichi yelled at Kokichi. “B-but Shumai-“, Kokichi started. “And enough with the stupid nicknames alright?? It’s so annoying”, Shuichi said cruelly. “I-I just thought you and I could b-be together!”, Kokichi exclaimed explaining himself. “Hah! No way!”, Shuichi laughed. “You’re alone, and you always will be.”, Shuichi finished, walking away from a hurt Kokichi.

Back to real life:

“No!”, Kokichi shouted, jolting awake. He looked around him to see Shuichi asleep next to him. “Just a dream..”, He thought to himself as he started looking around for his stuffed animal to help him get to sleep. “Where is it???”, Kokichi thought to himself anxiously, as he had never slept successfully without it. Kokichi then remembered that he had left it in his dorm. “Shit!!”, Kokichi thought. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to get to sleep without it, and that made him nervous. Kokichi stood up and walked outside of the gym and sat in the hallway outside. He felt anxious and afraid. What was he gonna do??

“I could just sleep in my dorm with it and come back in the morning”, Kokichi thought. “But what if someone wakes up and sees I’m gone??” Kokichi was so anxious he began crying and shaking. To make things worse, he didn’t have his dinosaur to calm him down.

Shuichi began to stir awake as he heard small sobs coming from outside the gym. He moved over to the right and saw that Kokichi was no longer next to him. “Kokichi?”, Shuichi mumbled out loud. He stood up and began to look for the small purple haired boy.

Kokichi heard footsteps approaching him as he turned around and saw the tall detective standing over him. “S-Shuichi!”, Kokichi exclaimed in shock, wiping his tears away. “Kokichi? What’s wrong?”, Shuichi said, kneeling down to be on level with Kokichi.

“Nihihi! It’s a lie!”, Kokichi joked. “Don’t worry about me, I was just seeing if my dear Saihara-Chan would worry about me~”, Kokichi said. “Kokichi...”, Shuichi said, growing slightly annoyed with Kokichi. “I know a lie when I see one, what happened?”, Shuichi asked sympathetically.

Kokichi was slightly shocked, did Shuichi really care about him? Could he trust Shuichi enough to tell him his secret?

“O-okay well...”, Kokichi started. “It’s kind of embarrassing.. so you better not laugh!”, Kokichi yelled. “I won’t Kokichi, I could never judge you.”, Shuichi smiled. “W-well it’s just, every night, I usually can’t sleep unless...”, Kokichi trailed off. “Unless..?”, Shuichi asked, being kind of confused.

“Unless I sleep with my stuffed animal! He’s a small purple dragon and his name is Panta, I normally can’t sleep without him.”, Kokichi said, blushing.

Shuichi couldn’t help but stare, he was so hopelessly in love with Kokichi and finding out about his stuffed animal just made him even cuter. “Kokichi...”, Shuichi said gently. “I understand if you think differently of me now okay?! Just... don’t tell anyone else. Okay?”, Kokichi said.

“Kokichi, I would never tell anyone your secret that you trusted me with.”, Shuichi said sympathetically. “However if you don’t mind me asking... Why does this dinosaur mean so much?”, Shuichi asked, trying to learn more about Kokichi.

“I-It just reminds me of home I guess... Back where nobody really hated me, and my lies weren’t as bad you know?”, Kokichi said, slightly embarrassed. Shuichi stared at Kokichi for a moment, as he slowly moved in and planted a gentle kiss on Kokichi’s lips.

“Shu-Shuichi!”, Kokichi exclaimed, slightly taken aback. “I’m sorry it’s just... you’re so adorable Ouma-Kun”, Shuichi said. “Here how about this”, Shuichi proposed. “I can be your dinosaur for the night.”, Shuichi said, smiling at Kokichi.

Kokichi was shocked, he was really offered the opportunity to sleep with his beloved, and he hadn’t laughed at his secret. “O-Okay.”, Kokichi shyly accepted.

The two went back to the gym and laid down on their sleeping bags they had set up earlier. Kokichi placed his face into Shuichi’s chest as Shuichi planted his chin on top of Kokichi’s head. “I-I love you Shuichi.”, Kokichi whispered as he drifted to sleep calmly. “I love you more.” Shuichi stated.

“My teddy bear”, Shuichi said smiling, as he finally fell asleep.

[unseeliekey]

Shuichi and Kokichi getting married 💜💙 What do you think that would be like?

IM SORRY IVE BEEN SITTING ON THIS ASK FOR SO LONG I JUST. I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ON IT AND I WANTED TO DO IT JUSTICE. REST UNDER READMORE BECAUSE THIS GETS LONG.

I think! it depends a lot on the universe. i am going to ignore japan’s current stance on gay marriage for this. Post game/VR AU... I’m not sure if they would get married, but if they did, they’d go out of their way to avoid any kind of PR (maybe having learned from kaimaki’s mistakes.) It would either be very, very minimal, or... the whole class is invited (probably minus Shirogane) and it’s very big despite there being twelve guests in attendance- Angie magistrates, obviously! It’s a big affair- a little bittersweet at times, because how can it not be, and Kokichi jokes about his own death and Shuichi shoves cake in his face, and they both have people missing, but their friends are loud enough to make up for it.

It’s similar in a nondespair AU, I think, but... I like parties and I’m going to chat about them having a party! The whole class is invited (plus Shirogane this time) and so are Shuichi’s uncle, and DICE, and NO ONE ELSE. They’ve got some other friends- Shuichi through work, Kokichi through... Kokichi stuff, but not really wedding friends. I think both of them are actually quite private about it- Shuichi is shy, and the attention flusters him, and as much as Kokichi loves drama, he also. Does not like showing vulnerability and it probably gives him HIVES even thinking about it. Writing his vows takes months, (which is fine, because planning also takes months, and Shuichi has his vows down a week after they’re engaged but he spends the entire time overthinking them and ends up stammering when he actually reads them.) DICE end up having to drag Kokichi by his teeth to get out some genuine sentiments- but his still ends up filled with in-jokes and puns and on paper it’s very playful and teasing and fun, a nice contrast to Shuichi’s almost painfully earnest words.

and shuichi goes “oh. yeah. that’s fair actually.” and he ends up emailing their work emails that they never check so technically he told them. but they don’t rsvp and they don’t show up and he only thinks about them a few times.

Anyway! I don’t think the event is traditional at all. Planning is a disaster because Kokichi wants big and Shuichi wants Kokichi to have anything that makes him laugh, and Kokichi secretly wants little secret meanings everywhere. (Chess pieces on the cake, little fake detective pinboards, not-so-subtle floral language, objects that don’t mean anything to anyone but them.) Shuichi panics for a while about his friends, and his parents, and he overthinks it for a long time because he’s not sure if he wants to try and keep the event a little classier for them, or just say fuck it, because who knows if they’re even going to goddamn show up, right?

And Kokichi, who has already invited his nine people, just goes “okay, don’t invite them, then?”

And Shuichi flounders for a while because they’re his parents and it’s his wedding, and then he asks if Kokichi will be insulted if they don’t show up, to which Kokichi informs him that if they do, there’s a minor chance of a fist fight. 

Shuichi goes “you’ll fight my parents on our wedding day????”

And Kokichi goes “no, momota-chan will.”

Because his uncle is there! And Kaito is there (crying the whole way through) and Kaede! and Maki! and Himiko! and Kokichi.

I think in a post game, they walk up the aisle together, because tradition is stupid and they want to be close and they were making out two minutes before the band began to play. but in a universe where Kokichi has DICE with him? Shuichi can wait at the altar (which he is okay with, because, again, anxious) and Kokichi can walk up like the smuggest bastard you’ve ever seen. He does NOT have a veil. What he does have is the most ridiculous fucking cape you’ve ever seen. It’s white, and velvet, and furred, and bedazzled with ballet jewelery, and it takes all nine members of DICE to keep it from dragging all over the chairs around the aisle. It’s so stupid. He trips half way up. Shuichi, who is already dying of nerves, laughs so hard he almost falls over. 

A lot of things go wrong, I think. There’s only 26 people there and a photographer, and neither of them wanted to do rehearsals or anything, so the whole thing is being winged. Something gets set on fire at some point. They accidentally break open a bottle of vintage honeymoon wine from Rantaro instead of the champagne they were meant to be drinking. Kokichi’s white cape ends up stained, which he should have expected considering how stupid and big it is. Miu, weeping, calls them both whores in her speech- OH

 everyone gives a speech. Shuichi’s uncle doesn’t know many of these people that well (especially not the nine weirdos in evening gowns who no one had met prior to Kokichi disappearing to get ready), but every single one of them has something wonderful to say about his nephew. Some of the stories are ribald, or wild, or a little bit unbelievable- but every single person gets up to congratulate them, and most of them cry.

Anyway! after the speeches they all eat. and drink. there’s cake, but there’s also ice cream and pastries and a bowl of skittles that gets increasingly stick as it’s passed around, and people keep talking and keep laughing. Kokichi explicitly told DICE not to flirt with anyone, so naturally they do, with everyone, including Shuichi’s uncle, who is bemused at best. Shuichi has to run to set out a small fire at some point. 

A LIST OF GUESTS WHO CRY:

-Shuichi, choking up as soon as Kokichi reaches him and takes his hands, and then continuing to sniff for the rest of the evening and weep through all the speeches,

-Kiibo, all the way through the vows and uncontrollably,

-Kaito, pretending he isn’t, taking handkerchief after handkerchief from Kaede,

-Kaede, but politely, and she smiles the entire time

-all of DICE, at different points, but they all come up with increasingly stupid excuses for it,

-Korekiyo, who has to excuse himself after the ceremony- when Shuichi hunts him down, he expresses his apology for leaving and says he’s just too happy for them,

-Rantaro, a little, the second Kokichi looks up and wiggles his fingers to show off his ring,

-Miu, the entire way through her speech. Kokichi calls her a crybaby bitch halfway through when it looks like she might be about to break down completely, and that gives her enough strength to get through it,

-Tenko, but she won’t admit it,

-Himiko, openly, only a little bit because she wasn’t allowed to be the flower girl,

-Gonta. a lot. he is one of the happiest people there and he won’t stop crying. he’s embarrassed about it but he’s too happy to stop and he probably makes Kiibo start crying AGAIN at some point,

-Maki, oddly enough, but only when Kokichi and Shuichi move to go and dance. She tries to hide it and snaps at Kaito when he teases her, but when Kaede asks if she’s okay, because they all know she’s not the biggest fan of either Kokichi or the union, she quietly admits she’s crying about seeing Shuichi so happy.

and humiliatingly;

-Kokichi. a lot. through most of it. He gets halfway through his vows and he starts sobbing. Shuichi has to hold his hands to get him through it. He cries when DICE give their blessing and he cries when Shuichi’s uncle gruffly says he’s “a fine young man, though he doesn’t approve of his methods,” and he cries when he calls Miu a crybaby bitch and when Gonta hugs him and when Kiibo sobs into his shoulder and when Kaito musses up his hair and tells him to take care of Shuichi, and he cries through the kiss even though he’s smiling at the same time.

It’s hugely embarrassing to him and years later he refuses to admit to it ever happening despite the photographic evidence otherwise. Shuichi thinks it’s sweet- he’s proud that he managed to be that vulnerable around that many people. Kokichi has called him a slur after he expressed that sentiment.

There’s a last dance, though, after everyone has been dragged to various hotel rooms or passed out drunk, and they should clean up but instead they change the music to something slow- a waltz, maybe, with Shuichi adjusting the stupid cape and Kokichi reaching up to gently fix Shuichi’s tie (which has gotten a little rumpled by this point.) And they dance, with the lights a little lower and helium balloons sagging to the floor, and they dance. And maybe they repeat their vows- not the same words, but the same sentiments. Or maybe they don’t say anything at all.

There’s no first dance as such- music is played, and there’s wine, but Kaede is the first one to start dancing, dragging her date with her and tearing it up. Shuichi’s had a little too much attention, really, and he’s happy to sit back and chat a little more casually and hold Kokichi far too closely as they watch the others slowly migrate to the dancefloor. But after a while- when mostly everyone is dancing and his heart has stopped pounding quite so painfully, and he’s had just enough champagne to feel brave and Kokichi is looking so happy under the lights, he takes his hand and drags him over to the band and requests something- (i’m thinking the lovecats by the cure, both bc goth saihara rights and because it works very well for saiouma i think.) -and then he takes Kokichi’s hands again and they go dancing.

(and obviously everyone is staring at them now, because it’s their wedding, and with that cape how can you not- but Shuichi is too distracted to notice, or maybe too happy to feel self-conscious, and Kokichi is whispering something in his ear that makes him laugh and it’s kind of hard for everyone to look away from them, you know?)

Either way, when they get to their room they probably boink for a bit and then pass out only to be woken up late for their honeymoon two hours later by Rantaro, who knew this would happen and did warn them, and who receives a very nice postcard from France a few days later informing him that they made the flight.
