*************So I can't sleep and I'm up late so I decided to just write. I had a few ides. But yay! Psycho Pass Tomorrow! Don't forget to watch what happens next. Hopefully, soon they put Shinya back in this! I DO NOT OWN PSYCHOPASS. I do write a lot of flashbacks so please don't get too confused! **************

Maybe Eri was overthinking. In front of her lied textbooks and papers from her late night studying session. Eri's mind went blank. It felt so numb. It felt like, she couldn't think anymore. Eri threw herself into her white rug. She gazed at the star set ceiling and grabbed one of her fuzzy pillows to put over her face. She was tired. Being a straight a student was hard. She sighed to herself. She then rolled over to her side. Maybe, I should just take a walk. She thought. Quickly Eri got up and made her way out of her room to her living room. She grabbed her navy blue jacket and her keys off of her kitchen table and soon headed out of her door.

The Ikebukoro air was cool. There was a nice breeze. It wasn't warm enough to not wear a jacket. Eri walked down the streets taking in the smells of Ikebukoro. She wondered down the now familiar streets and soon enough, she became bored. Eri looked in her coat pocket and saw that she had her train pass. Maybe she would go to a different ward?

As Eri stepped out of the train station, she gazed at the bright Chiyoda ward lights. They were all familiar to her too. She tuned out the message from the ministry of welfare's robots telling people to keep their hue clear. Maybe she would go window shopping. Eri didn't mind being by herself. It didn't bother her at all. Eri started to walk up the streets of the brightly lit Tokyo and began using her eyes to mentally buy things she saw. She stopped in a local café and brought a milkshake to sip on while she wondered the streets. She wasn't thinking at all. Her mind was just blank. She stopped suddenly as she spotted someone familiar.

"Ginoza?" Eri said to herself. It wasn't a doubt that it wasn't Ginoza. He was in a bookstore looking for a new book to read. "Is Kou with him?" Eri said out loud. She scanned the store and didn't see him. Maybe he was home? Speaking of Kogami, Eri hadn't seen him in a while. They had went out on a few dates, but, maybe he just wasn't into her like that. Eri's heart sank. She did start to like him. She liked him for a while actually. After all the dates the two went on. He never kissed her. Eri twirled a strand of her dark hair in her index finger. "Should I say hi? Nah." Eri then made her way down the streets once more. She was now thinking about Kogami. Maybe I should call him? No! Wait! What if he has another girl over? Or, he's sleep or he's still at work? She thought. Eri shook her head. She had to stop thinking so negatively.

As Eri turned the corner onto another street she bumped into someone due to her not looking. She dropped her milkshake onto the floor.

"I'm sorry!" Eri yelled bowing down apologetically.

"Well, look at what we have hear." Eri's face flushed red.

"Ko?"

"Well hello to you too. You should be more careful and pay more attention to where you're walking." He smirked.

"I'm sorry. I was just lost in thought."

"Really? About what?"

"Just about-"Eri couldn't tell Kogami that she had been thinking about him. That was against the rules. "Just about what I'm going to eat for breakfast tomorrow." She laughed nervously.

"You're a terrible liar Eri." Kogami laughed. Eri's cheeks felt even hotter. How embarrassing.

"Wait! Where have you been these past 2 weeks?" Eri said. Kogami was glad she noticed he was gone for almost 2 weeks. Eri was exaggerating the time span.

"Working."

"I called you and you never returned my call."

"Yea. I'm sorry. It's really a bad habit of mine." Eri didn't mean to sound like such a wife, but, she really had grown attached to Kogami. She enjoyed his company. She sighed.

"It's getting late I should just go home."

"Wait a minute." Kogami said spinning her back around. Eri looked at him.

"What?"

"I haven't seen you in over a week. Could we at least talk? You could come to my place." Eri scoffed.

"You pig! You're trying to get me to-"That was honestly the last thing on Kogami's mind.

"No. I'm not. A friend can't invite a friend over?" So there we had it. Eri was just his friend. She sighed.

"Fine. But just for a little bit." Kogami smiled. Soon the two walked down the chilly Tokyo streets to Kogami's apartment.

Eri sat on Kogami's couch with her legs pressed to her chest waiting for Kogami to give her a cup of coffee. She watched him as he approached her and sat in the arm chair beside her.

"You look tire." He stated taking a sip of his water. "I hope this helps." He placed the coffee cup on the glass stand besides Eri.

"Thanks." Eri blew the coffee and took a sip of it. It was straight black. Just the way she liked it. Kogami didn't understand how Eri could drink coffee like that. She didn't even put sugar in it.

"How's work?" Eri asked after taking a long sip of the black liquid.

"Eh. Not bad, but, not good."

"Long hours?"

"Yeah. But, hey, you have to do what you have to do to get by in life. Right?"

"True." Eri agreed with Kogami.

"Look, really, I am sorry I didn't call you. I really apologize." Eri looked at Kogami. She could tell that he was being really sincere and honest.

"It's fine. I suppose. I get it. You're a detective. Your schedule is crazy. I can't expect you to dedicate a lot of time to me."

"How do you know I'm not dedicating my time to another woman?" Eri's cheeks flushed red and soon the green eyed monster of jealousy consumed her entire body. Kogami could tell by the way she was glaring at him.

"Well, if you are that's your business. I don't care!" Eri said angrily. Kogami laughed.

"Relax, why are you so upset?""

"I'm not upset!" Eri yelled.

"Ok. Then why are you yelling?" Eri caught herself.

"I'm not."

"I take it you're jealous?" Eri's face felt like it was on fire.

"I'm, I'm not." She stuttered. All Kogami could do was laugh. It was fun to tease her.

"Yea. You are." Eri grew silent. Kogami thought it was adorable. She cared for him.

"So. Tell me renson." Kogami stood out of his chair and approached Eri. Her face turned bright red. He wasn't Eri thought.

"What?" She said nervously. Kogami was leaning in to kiss her. He wanted to. He really did like Eri. He was falling for her. Hell. He had fallen for her, but, he wanted their first kiss to be magical. He patted her head. Eri blinked dumfound.

"Where you expecting something there?" Kogami asked slyly.

"No! You jerk!" Eri yelled slightly embarrassed.

"Want to watch a movie?" Kogami asked patting her head again. Eri rolled her eyes.

"Sure. Why not."

It was now midnight and Eri had fallen asleep on Kogami's couch. He didn't want to wake her. She looked peaceful. He stared at her. She looked like a child in a happy dream world. He wanted to put her in his bed so that way she would sleep more comfortably. He slowly got off of the couch and tried to make his way to his room. He then felt a small hand grab his pants.

"Where are you going?" She asked faintly. Kogami turned around to look at the petite young woman.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you."

"It's fine." Eri looked at her phone. It was now midnight. "Crap. I have to go." she said getting up stumbling over. Kogami caught her.

"Um. You sure. You want me to take you home? It's late."

"No its fine. I'll be ok."

"I'm not letting you walk alone in the streets at night. Late drive you. If not you could sleep here and I'll take you home in the morning." Eri was awfully tired. She didn't have class until later in the afternoon.

"Fine." Eri said locking her amber eyes with Kogami's grey ones. She sat back on the couch.

"You could have my bed." Kogami offered politely.

"I'm not going to kick you out of your bed."

"I'm not letting you sleep on the couch." Eri was not in the mood to argue.

"Fine." Eri stood up to go to Kogami's bedroom.

"Follow me." Eri was still half a sleep. She followed the tall man to his room. All she saw was a bed. She didn't pay too much attention to the decor.

"Do you want a shirt to sleep in?" Kogami asked.

"It's fine. Ill sleep in my shirt." Kogami looked at Eri and could clearly see she was still sleeping. She climbed in his bed and pulled the sheets back. She curled up in a ball letting her dark curly hair fall free and laid there. Kogami just watched. He laughed and went to turn back to go to his couch.

"Kogami." Eri said.

"Yes?" He answered.

"I'm not throwing you out of your bed." Eri blushed. "You could sleep beside me." Kogami sighed.

"Fine." Kogami closed his room door and took off his shirt. He went to his bathroom first to wash his face and brush his teeth. When he came back. Eri was fast asleep. He crept up on Eri silently checking to see if she was awake. She was out. He smiled. He hesitated at first but soon enough planted a soft kiss on Eris cheek.

Eri woke up to the loud ringing of her phone. She scrambled around to find it when she did, she frantically went to answer it. It was a text. Her classes for the afternoon were cancelled. She pulled the sheets over her head until she realized that she wasn't in her apartment anymore. She looked to her left and saw a sleeping Kogami. She turned red. She thought that Kogami looked cute asleep. She laid her head back down and joined Kogami in dream land.

It was now 11 a.m. Eri finally decided to wake up. When she woke up all she saw was a body imprint in the bed. Kogami wasn't there. She heard the sound of running water. She sat up and looked around Kogami's room. Surprisingly. It was neat. He didn't have a holograph design on although she saw the control for it. His room was spacious. She saw bunch of books by Pascal on his desk. He really loved Pascal. Eri took note of that. His closet was closed and he had a window that emitted a bright light from the sun. Typical boy room. Suddenly the door opened. There was Kogami standing in a towel. Eri turned her face away.

"Sorry. I thought you were still sleeping." Kogami said grabbing his clothing. He went back outside his room to get dressed. Eri couldn't help it but Kogami was so hot. His toned abs were so amazing. Eri did want to touch them. She pinched her hot cheeks. She had to leave. Kogami soon back inside his room fully clothed.

"How did you sleep?" Eri was still red.

"Good." Eri was playing with her hands. She slept in Kogami's bed. She couldn't believe it.

"Are you hungry?

"Um. A bit." Eri's stomach began to growl.

"Let me take you to breakfast."

"You don't have to."

"No. It's ok. I want to." Kogami said patting Eris head. She knew she couldn't fight him. He would win.

"Just. Take me home to get changed?" Kogami smiled.

"No. Problem." Kogami was just happy that he was keeping Eri hostage. He secretly was enjoying this.

Kogami did as Eri asked and brought her home to get changed. The two went to a local restaurant and had breakfast for lunch. They talked and laughed. Kogami rarely found anything amusing, but, Eri entertained him. After breakfast Kogami told Eri that he was going to take her somewhere. He promised she would like it. She was anxious to see where he would take her. She waited patiently while he drove to their destination.

Soon enough, Kogami stopped the car and pulled into the garage of a tall white building. Eri didn't know what it was. She looked at Kogami confused. He stepped out of the car and opened the door for Eri. Eri stepped out into the concrete garage and followed Kogami into the building entrance. She glanced around the entrance. All she saw was children with either their parents or on a school field trip walking in to what seemed to be some sort of museum or planetarium. Kogami and Eri were riding the long moving floor escalator. Eri stared at the holographic dinosaurs and cavemen. They seemed so real. She jumped when she heard a dinosaur roar and instinctively grabbed Kogami's arm. Kogami looked down at her and Eri tried to pretend not to be scared, but, she was. Kind of. She knew the creature weren't real, but, they were scary. Eri swallowed. Soon enough, the two stepped off into the room that was to the right of them. When Eri entered the room, her eyes lit up.

"It's so pretty!" She jumped. Kogami smiled to himself. He knew Eri liked astronomy. He saw the books she had about the planets, stars and constellations and figured he would take her there. Eri looked around and her eyes couldn't believe it. It was like the planet Neptune was right in front of her. The stars were so colorful and beautiful. The room was bitch black and you couldn't see the floor. It felt like you were actually in space. Eri looked at Kogami.

"Thank you! This is awesome!" She hugged him. "You do way too much for Ko. Really, you do." Kogami didn't say anything put smile. He liked how childlike Eri could be at times. Soon the two were standing in front of a constellation. Eri's eyes were so big. She was amazed at how good the holographic technology was. It felt so real. She was trying not to look down because it would scare her and she would think she was falling through the floor.

"I'm glad you like it." Ko finally said. He was staring at the bright constellation while Eri was trying to figure out which stars were which. He finally turned to face her. Eri looked up at him. He was looking at her weird.

"What? Is there something on my face?" KO chuckled.

"No. there is isn't."

"Then what is it?"

"SO it really offended you when I didn't call?" Eri had completely forgotten about that, but, it did.

"Yea. It did. But I understand."

"Why did it offend you?" Without thinking, Eri answered.

"Because, I like Yo-"Eri's face turned bright red. Fuck. She said it. Dam Kogami for being so sly. She thought.

"Ah. I see. So you like me?" Eri was so embarrassed she couldn't talk. "It's ok. You shouldn't be embarrassed."

"I am. I can't believe I said that." Kogami grabbed Eri's wrist. She looked at him with her big amber eyes and her heart skipped a beat. She swallowed. "What's wrong?" Kogami couldn't wait anymore. He leaned in and kissed Eri's full lips. Eri was so shocked. Her mind was blank! She couldn't believe it! Her mind was numb! He's kissing me! She thought! Oh my god! Without hesitation, Eri kissed Kogami back. That was one of the happiest moments in her life.

"Eri!" Mitako yelled trying to catch her attention. "Eri! Hello!? Are you in there?" Eri shook her head coming back to reality.

"Yea, Yea! I'm right here! Stop yelling!" She said waving Mitako's hand out her face.

"You were totally spaced out. You ok?"

"Yea, I'm fine." The 3 girls were at a restaurant eating dinner. "Excuse me. I'll be right back." Eri got up from her seat while Kyoko and Mitako stared at her walking away. Kyoko sipped her tea.

"Whenever she spaces out like that, you know who she's think about? Right Mita?" Mitako nodded.

"Yea. I know. It sucks. They've been through so much. Poor Eri. To be away from him for another year and a half. I know it's killing her. She's trying to be so strong."

"I just pray, things end well." Kyoko replied.

"I hope so. Especially with this system. I can't even imagine what Eri would do if he-"Kyoko cut Mitako off.

"Don't say that! He will be fine." Mitako said a bit angrily.

"I'm sorry. I pray so." The girls knew that Kogami was a fugitive.

"I just want Eri to be happy. That's all. Without him next to her. She's different."
