Chereads / Love Letters (Saiouma) / Chapter 4 - Lunchbox Friends

Chapter 4 - Lunchbox Friends

Kokichi couldn't stop thinking about him and Shuichi having lunch together. He'd always wanted to get closer to Shuichi, but although being a supreme leader with all the confidence in the world, he was too scared to. He hated that his feelings made him nervous like that. His classes leading up to lunch seemed to last years even though it was only 2 hours total. He passed the time by drawing more pictures of his beloved Saihara, since he couldn't focus in class. His mind was flooded with the Ultimate Detective, and what was going to happen at lunch.

The bell finally rang and dismissed them for lunch, and Kokichi couldn't help but run to the tree they were meeting at. Nobody really looked over at him because they were used to his lively childish behavior. A huge smile was plastered on his face, he was so excited. He stopped running and began to walk to the tree with his arms once again behind his head, and reduced his smile so he could seem cool around his crush.

"Heeeey, Shumai~!"

"Hey Kokichi!" The detective said, smiling.

Was he happy?! Was he actually happy to see me?!

"Sooo.. do ya wanna go grab some food?"

"Ah, yeah, of course."

They walked beside each other to the cafeteria. Kokichi grabbed his arm and hugged it as they walked. Shuichi flinched a little, but smiled at him, he even blushed a little bit.

Wait.. did Shuichi actually blush?

The thought made Kokichi's heart jump a little. They bought a large tray of fries to share for lunch. As they ate, they talked about little things like what D.I.C.E. does and their favorite Panta flavors. Kokichi looked at Shuichi every now and then, and it felt like they were actually a couple. Kokichi reached for another fry, but so did Shuichi. Their hands touched. They both stared at their hands for a bit before glancing at each other. After a little while they quickly moved their hands away and looked in opposite directions, both bright red. Kokichi's heart fluttered.

"Sooo.. whaddya wanna do Shushu?" Kokichi broke the awkwardness.

"Nobody's ever asked what I wanted to do before.. uhh, you can decide!"

"Hmm.." Kokichi analysed Shuichi for a second; "Come with me~!" He insisted, grabbing the detectives arm.

"K-Kokichi..!"

Kokichi ran towards the main building, dragging Shuichi along with him. He ran up about 10 flights of stairs, leading to the rooftop doors. They were locked, but this wasn't a problem for the little leader, as he took a pin out of his pocket and used it to fumble with the lock until;

*click*

With one large push, the doors flew open. Shuichi gasped and stared at the rooftop.

"You can't just stand there the whole time~! C'mon~!" Kokichi pulled the Taller boy to the edge of the rooftop.

Oma stretched his arms out, and took a deep breath, leaning slightly over the edge. He stood on the metal rails lining the edge, and playfully lifted his leg. He began to wobble, a little too much;

"Kokichi No!" Shuchi yelled, as he rushed over to him.

"W-woah~!"

Kokichi fell back into Shuichi's arms. He smiled.

"Awh~! You caught me!" Kokichi childishly teased the detective, before lightly pinching his cheek.
