Chapter 3 - What's this feeling?

Shuichi walked out of class alone, as usual. Although he preferred being alone, it did get boring. Sometimes he would hang out with Kaede, Rantaro, Maki and Kaito, but most of the time Kaede was busy in the music room practising piano, Kaito was either training with Maki or studying constellations, Maki was either training with Kaito or practicing some assassination techniques and Rantaro was planning his next adventures.

He began to walk towards the tables outside of the cafeteria, but was surprised by a small boy jumping on his back.

"Heya Shuichiii~!" Kokichi said, a cute smile on his face.

"K-kokichi..? What are you doing..?"

"Hanging out with you! Duh~!"

The boy put his hands behind his head.

"O-okay.." Shuichi was confused why the little leader wanted to hang out with him all of a sudden, but he was happy.

Shuichi smiled a little and the two quietly walked down to the cafeteria.

"Soooo.. what do you normally do at break?" Kokichi broke the silence.

"Nothing really.. I normally just sit alone and listen to music."

"Wow Shushu, you really are boooring!!" The boy smirked.

Shuichi sighed.

"So.. what do you normally do..?"

"I normally go steal people's lunch money and stuff!"

"You wha-?!"

"That was a lie! Did I get ya?? Hmm.. I don't really do much either. I usually just go sit by a tree and draw." He confessed.

"Speaking of drawing.. do you by any chance know where one of my doodles went? I lost it this morning, probably after I bumped into you!"

Shuichi blushed when he remembered that.

Why am I blushing? Just embarrassment.. right?

He thought to himself.

"Uh.. no.. sorry.." He lied.

Why am I lying about it?

"Liar!" Kokichi grabbed the drawing out of Shuichi's pocket.

"I can't believe you lied to me, Shumai~!"

"I.. sorry.."

How'd he know I was lying? There's no way he could've seen the paper.. it wasn't visible.

Kokichi sighed.

"You can keep it.." He shoved the drawing at Shuichi, almost pushing him over.

Kokichi looked away, almost blushing. He was playing with his hair.

"Uh.. I was hoping we could have lunch together..?" The boy asked, he seemed embarrassed and shy when he asked.

"I'm not sure why you'd want to.. but sure I guess.. Kaede and the others are busy today anyway."

The boy smiled, he looked surprised and really.. happy?

"R-really?! Yay!! I can't wait! I'll meet you over there-" He pointed over at a tree.

*bell noises*

"See you later Shushu~!" He called as he skipped to his next class.
