"Mooorning Shumai~!"
Shuichi woke to find a smiling Kokichi sitting by his bed.
"K-kokich-?! Oh yeah.. I forgot you stayed the night.."
"Y-you forgot? But.. we had so much fun~! You forgot all about me.." Kokichi pouted, tears forming in his eyes.
"N-no! I didn't mean-" Shuichi blushed in embarrassment.
"Nishishi~! You're so cute when you're flustered~!"
Shuichi sighed.
"Sooo.. it's a Saturday today, no school~! Whaddya wanna do today Shushu~?"
"O-oh.. um.. I'm not sure yet. We should get ready for the day and stuff first."
"Okay!"
Shuichi went to go shower and change in the bathroom, and Kokichi changed in his bedroom. Once they were ready, Shuichi went back into his room.
Kokichi was wearing a purple hoodie, which was too big for him, but he looked cute.
"Hey.. I recognise that.. Is that mine?!" The detective asked, a little shocked.
"Yeah.. I hope you don't mind~! Not that you have a choice anyway.. I'm not wearing that straight-jacket looking thing on a weekend~!"
"That's fair I guess.."
*Beep*
1 new message- Rantaro Amami
"Huh.."
R: Heya Shuichi! Just wondering if you wanna go get tea with us later at that new place later?
S: Okay! Sounds great!
R: Meet you there at around 12?
S: Sure
Kokichi snatched the phone right out of Shuichi's hand.
"H-hey..!"
"You're getting tea later..? Oh cool! Make sure you don't have too much fun though~!" Kokichi grinned, though he looked upset.
"Yeah.." Shuichi took his phone back.
S: Can Kokichi tag along too?
R: Kokichi? Uh.. sure I guess?
The boys sat together at watched some crime shows until if was 12.
"I guess you've gotta go now Shumai~! Don't get into any trouble~!" The leader said, pointing at the clock.
"Yeah I guess.." The detective agreed, grabbing the boys wrist and standing.
His eyes widened in confusion.
"H-hey! Whaddya doing..?"
"You didn't think I was gonna leave you alone in my house unattended, did you?"
Kokichi smiled.
"Heh.."
The boys began to walk to the new tea shop, Kokichi taking the lead, skipping ahead and humming. Something caught his eye and he stopped for a second. His eyes lit up and he gasped.
"Kitty~!"
He ran a little to get closer, before crouching down and offering a cookie he took from Shuichi's house. The little kitty accepted and rubbed its little head against Kokichi's hand.
Shuichi couldn't help but smile and blush a little. It was nice seeing the sweet and cute side of Kokichi. At school he was always so eccentric and childish, but with Shuichi he was cute and kind. He almost felt special.
When Kokichi had finished petting the little cat, he ran back to Shuichi's side and hooked onto his arm.
"Sooo Shumai.. what kinda things do you normally do on weekends?" The grape inquisitively asked.
"Not much.. I usually just sit at home and watch crime and mystery shows, or if Rantaro or Maki etcetera ask me to meet, I hang out with them. What about you, Koki?"
"Well me and D.I.C.E usually rob a bank or steal a car!"
"W-what?"
"Juuust kidding~! I normally just hang out in an alleyway or somewhere alone and draw. It gets pretty boring to be honest.."
"So.. what about your parents? You didn't tell them that you were staying over or anything, and I dont think you've mentioned them before." If they were asking questions, the detective wanted to make the most of it.
"Huh.. my parents.. well, they won't care! They're busy anyways with work and stuff~!" The smaller boy lied.
"Oh.." Shuichi knew he was lying, but didn't want to point it out because the boy was clearly insecure about them.
"What about your parents, Shumai..?"
"Huh.. well they're living their dreams abroad, so I'm staying with my uncle. At least, I'm supposed to be. He travels away a lot for work.."
"Oh.. you must get pretty lonely then, huh~?"
"Yeah, I guess.."
"But that's okay! You have me now~!" Kokichi put his hands on his hips and smiled at Shuichi.
The taller emo couldn't help but smile back.
They soon reached the tea shop and found Rantaro, Maki, Kaede and Kaito waving through the window. Shuichi waved a little back, and Kokichi swung his arm through the air, back to his wild self.
They entered the shop and found them sitting on a table for 6 in the back corner.
"Heya Shuichi!" Rantaro said, smiling.
"Hey Shu~!" Kaede smiled.
"Hiya dude!" Kaito joined in.
"Hey.." Maki mumbled.
"Hey guys!" Shuichi said back, taking a seat inbetween Kaede and Kokichi.
"Hiya!" Kokichi tried to fit in.
"Hey Kokichi.." everyone mumbled.
He smiled at them all.
"So.. how come you weren't in any classes after break yesterday, Shu~?" Kaede asked, her head resting on her hands. Shuichi looked at Kokichi as he innocently smiled.
"W-well-"
"Weeell.. Shuichi got the hots for me and took me to a dark alleyway for a make-out sesh~!" Kokichi proudly lied, a finger to his lips.
Shuichi went bright red, Kaede looked away and blushed a little, Rantaro and Kaito stared at him in shock and Maki didn't seem to care at all.
"N-no! That's not what happened..! I s-swear!! I didn't..! I wouldn't..!"
"Awwh.. just when I started to think you actually liked me.."
"I.. I do..! But we didn't-"
"Nishishi~! I'm just teasing you~! You're so fun to tease~!!" Kokichi pinched his victims bright red cheek.
The other's breathed a sigh of relief. A pink-haired waitress with many piercings walked over to their table.
"Hey! Do you know what you'd like to order..?" She asked, taking out a small notebook and pen from her pocket.
"I think we do!" Rantaro chirpily answered.
"I'll take black tea and double chocolate cookies, please." Shuichi ordered.
"Hmm.. I'll have Lemon lime tea with.. hmm.. Oh! Those Avocado cookies. Kaede?" Rantaro also ordered.
"Rose tea with strawberry cookies!"
"And you, sir?" The waitress asked, looking at Kaito.
"Hmm.. Peppermint iced tea with those galaxy cookies! Maki roll?"
"Black tea with just a little honey, not sugar. Cherry cookies." She glared at Kokichi.
"Hmm.. Grape boba and regular chocolate chip cookies!" He smiled at the waitress childishly.
A couple older boys into the tea shop. They were only one year older, and had spoken to the group a few times. Rantaro seemed to know them well.
"Nagito, Hajime and Chiaki! Fancy seeing you here!"
"Hey Rantaro. Oh! Ruby! I didn't know you worked here?" Komaeda asked her, kissing her cheek.
"Yeah.. I needed the money for cosplay and stuff, have you seen how much Sailor Mars costs?!"
"Haha.. well, you'd better get these kids their tea and stuff." And with that, Nagito and his group sat at the table the other side of the room.
Shortly after, their tea and cookies arrived.
"Ooh~!" Kaede excitedly squealed, lightly clapping her hands.
"Ooooh~! This looks good! Whaddya think Shumai~?" Kokichi asked him, smiling.
"Yeah, wow! It's smells nice."
Kokichi sipped some of his boba, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Woah~! This is the best boba I've ever tasted! Try some Shushu~!" Kokichi demanded, shoving his boba in Shuichi's face.
Shuichi obediently sipped the boba. Although he didn't really like grape flavoured things, he liked the boba.
"Wow, that is nice, Koki!"
Kokichi smiled at his approval. Kaede glared at him.
"Here, Shuichi! Try some of mine!" Kaede insisted, waving her cup in front of him.
He took a sip, but didn't really like it.
"Hmm.. it's not really my thing, but it's not the worst.."
Kaede gave Kokichi a dirty look as she took a bite of one of her cookies. Kokichi did the same.
"Mmm~! These Cookies are good, but not as good as ours!" He smiled at the emo.
They finished their tea and cookies with some light conversation.
"Well it's only 1pm, we have some time to kill." Maki stated.
Although she was only being figurative, hearing the assassing say 'kill' put a chill down everyone's spines.
"What about the arcade?" Kaito suggested.
"Yeah! The arcade sounds fun!" Rantaro agreed.
And with that, they all headed to the arcade. During the walk, Maki and Kaito linked arms, Rantaro and Kaede chatted to eachother, as she made the occasional flirty comment to Shuichi and glare at Kokichi, and Kokichi as usual hugged his Shumai's arm.
"This is it!" Kaito stated, dragging Maki to the Space Raider.
Rantaro headed over to some sort of survival simulator.
"Oooh~! They have a DDR! C'mon Shushu! Play with me~!" He happily insisted, dragging him to the machine. Kaede watched them from the Claw machine.
"I dare you to do Afronova, difficult mode!"
"Do I have much of a choice?"
"Nope! Nishishi~!" He giggled, selected the song.
Kokichi seemed to be a pro at it, whereas Shuichi seemed to lack eye-to-foot coordination.
"Wow Shumai~! You really failed!"
"Thanks for stating the obvious, Koki.." The detective sat on the floor as he spoke.
"Nishishi~! That was pretty fun~!"
Soon after, they all headed home and parted ways.
