*Alarm Noises*

Shuichi rubbed his eyes as he sat up in bed. It was the first of February. 2 weeks until his least favorite event, Valentines day. He used to love Valentines day. He would always impatiently wait for the day to come so that he could open his locker to find floods of letters, chocolates and roses. That only happened once, when he was 8. Well, not so much floods of letters and excetera, but a singular daisy and a piece of paper that read:

To Shuweechee

I luve yu

from un nown

Now he was older, he dreaded it. For years he waited, filled with hope to find at least one letter, but nothing. He decided to give up on all hope of valentines day.

He got ready for the day, doing his usual morning routine. Shower, brush his teeth, and put on his usual black suit.

He began to walk to school, stopping at the convenience store for his usual breakfast, a chocolate and blueberry muffin. He was nearly at the steps leading to Hope's Peak Academy when..

*crash*

He opened his eyes to see he had bumped into a small, purple-haired boy, Kokichi Oma.

"Nnhh.." the boy mumbled, picking up several drawings and bottles of Grape Panta.

"I'm so sorry! Here, let me help.." Shuichi Apologized, as he knelt down to help the little leader gather his things.

"Thanks Shuichiii~!" Kokichi smiled, before skipping into school.

One of his drawings flew away as he happily skipped; Shuichi managed to catch it before it flew too far away.

"Hey..! Kokichi..! Your drawing..!" Shuichi called.

The smaller boy simply carried on skipping into school. Shuichi put the drawing in his pocket, trying not to crease it too much.
