Everything went black.

Kokichi could only hear the soft voice in his head, and Shuichi's voice telling him to Wake up,

Several Months Later

"Get your ass up Kokichi, we are moving,"

Kokichi got startled,

"Wai- why?!"

"Don't ask me ask your father," His mother was in bad mood, he knew this already bit didn't want to push her buttons too much,

*I still want to hang out with Shuichi though... And what about D.I.C.E?*

Kokichi thought, for a second before making up a plan,

"What are you looking at? Get packing now!" The woman pushes Kokichi into his room and locks the door behind him

he sighs

"If i manage to escape... I wont have to stay here anymore..."

He had read a few books on picking locks and was hoping he could pick his window open,

(click... click... click... click... click...) The lock opens and he pushes the window with all his might, he quickly stuffs some clothes and some food into a bag and climbs out and manages to land into a bush.

"WaAh-"

He pops his head out of the leaves and looks around,

"I-I I did it!"

He wants to celebrate but wants to keep quiet, he quickly sprints away with the little energy he had left,

he was still in the area when he saw him,

Shuichi Saihara,

Kokichi's face filled up with bliss as he saw the tall, blue haired boy,

"Saihara-Chan!"

Shuichi quickly turns around and spots Kokichi in bad condition,

"K-Kokichi!!! W-wait... Are you okay?!" He quickly runs over to Kokichi and starts to slow down after a couple meters infront of him.

"... Shuichi..."

Kokichi wraps his arms around him and gives Shuichi a hug,

"Ko-Kokichi... What happened?"

"I don't have time to explain, can you listen to me?"

Confused but also worried Shuichi accepted

"I'm on the run, im running from my parents, i know they hate me, they've made that very clear now... I just... I can't take it anymore,"

Shuichi was shocked but not suprised, he remembered what happened at the park a few months ago,

"So that was your mother?"

Kokichi nods in silence,

"I need a place to hide... Can you hide me somewhere?"

"I- Sure... Where to Kokichi?"

"I dont know... I'm starving and i can't run so please Shuichi... Please be fast..."

Shuichi was thinking for a while when he suggests they go to a picnic spot together, he explained to Kokichi that he could buy some food on the way there, of course Kokichi accepted Shuichis Idea.

They started walking towards the picnic spot together,

"Shuichi... Do- Do you have an Ultimate?"

Shuichi looked at Kokichi,

"Well... Yeah... I don't think im that good at it though..."

"Hm? What is it?"

"I'm... The Ultimate Detective,"

Kokichi's eyes lit up as he heard the words,

"Wow!! That's soooo cool Saihara-Chan!!~ I think you will be great at detective work!"

Shuichi blushes,

"Oh look heres the store,"

"Changing the subject i see!"

"Your hungry aren't you?"

"Yes!"

Shuichi looks at Kokichi and starts to laugh because he wasnt expecting Kokichi to sound so happy all of a sudden,

"What's funny Shumai?~"

Shuichi blushes intensely,

"Sh-Shumai-?"

Shuichi's face turns into a shade of red,

"Nishishi! You look like a tomato!"

"I- It- Im NoT tHaT rEd!"

Kokichi laughs at Shuichi for five minutes while they did some shopping, as soon as they exit, Kokichi trips on a loose tile and falls headfirst into the ground.

"K-Kokichi! Are you okay?!"

"Oww..."

"Kokichi! Your chin is bleeding-! Uh- I need to go back in and get something to stop the bleeding!"

"Nooo...~ I'm fine Shuichi..."

Shuichi goes back in to get a first aid kit, he eventually comes back out.

"Geez Shuichi, you sure take your precious time, i've practically dyed my scarf red."

"K-Kokichi- Theres blood everywhere!"

Kokichi looks at his hands, and looks at his clothes.

"It looks like i murdered someone..."

he looks at Shuichi

"Guess you solved this case Mr. Detective! Turns out your not as bad as your talent as you say you are!"

Shuichi blushed and walks towards Kokichi and pads his chin,

"Something has been bothering me Shuichi..."

"Hm? What is it?"

Kokichi looks down

"When we first met... You asked me if i ever felt sad... Is something wrong Shuichi?"

Shuichi goes silent and then says

"I never wanted to be like this, but... I- I dont want to live..."

Kokichi stares at Shuichi

"Shuichi..."

Kokichi Hugs him and then he runs over to the bags of grocerys and he picks them up,

"We best be going Saihara-Chan!"

"I- Ko-"

"I wont hesitate bitch!"

"Kokichi-! Pfffffttt!!"

This was the first time Shuichi had saw Kokichi cuss, and coming from such a small body it made Shuichi chuckle,

No Hesitation

Kokichi placed the bags on the floor and walked up to Shuichi,

Shuichi could feel the warmth of Kokichi's lips nearing closer towards his, Shuichi was too shocked to move and he watched as Kokichi's soft lips touched his own, it wasnt long before Shuichi accepted Kokichi's presence, Shuichi put his hand at the back of Kokichi's head and was returning the kiss, Shuichi slowly opened his eyes and spoke in a soft voice,

"You like... Don't you?"

Kokichi looked up and opened his eyes,

"Mayybeeee..." he closed his eyes again and rested his head against Shuichi's chest, before he knew it, Kokichi had fallen asleep,

Shuichi hadn't yet taken in what had just happened. He started to blush immensely and tried to stop himself from screaming. It started to rain and he knew he would have to take Kokichi somewhere else other than the side of a grocery store. He set Kokichi down and walked away from the store,

"Uhm... I wonder if D.I.C.E can take him in..."

He looked around to see if he saw any of the members,
