Kokichi Hanahaki Disease X Mastermind Shuichi

Shuichi's POV

~Before the trial/investigating time~

Shuichi's POV

I looked at him with disgust wanting blend in with the other shocked students. it would be too suspicious to not react to kokichi's statement even though i know that he's just hiding how he trully felt. I learned from my experience with the old kokichi that he scratch his wrist when he's upset or about to cry which is what he's doing now... though the other students doesnt seem to notice it 'stupid idiots' i said in my head. i guess he still have that habit even in this game

I lowered my hat to hide my face and sigh in disappointment "you're better than that kokichi" i whispered to myself

When the others lefted me and kaede where left to investigate. After a minute of investigating the scene i got the urge to check on kokichi "hey kaede ill go check the other rooms to look for more evidence" "okay shuichi becareful" she smiled at me. i left knowing that i didn't have to investigate anymore because i already framed a certain someone

I mean what was i ment to do? Rantaro left me no choice he already knows too much... i can't risk it. I don't feel a tiny bit sorry for framing kaede with the murder either i mean she said it herself she don't have any faith in humanity

I go to the others room then knocked at his door. I don't know why but i feel sorry for him... his pregame self i want to protect it- Wait why am i thinking about that i dont care about everyone i just want to see him in despair while trying to hide it... yeah that's the only reason

"Kokichi can we talk" after a few minute i hear the door unlocking. I was surprised i thought he wouldn't open it "what do you want? Its not me who did it or is it? Nishishi" Kokichi puts his index finger on his lips "no why would i think its you? I don't have any evidence" kokichi scanned me to see if im lying but he didn't see through me "can i come in? Kaede is already thanking care of the investigation.... and i just want to make sure youre okay" i swear i saw a blush on kokichi's face but i can't be sure cause he quickly look to his side

"uh yeah sure do whatever you want just dont touch my stuff" we both walk in i saw the board with rantaro and my name in it but didn't say anything, we sit on his bed "look kokichi you can say everything you want to me" "no stupid i dont actually don't care why is that so hard to belive?" kokichi said

I sigh how long will he keep this persona? Its getting kind of annoying but i can't let him see my frustration. I pat his head which surprised him but easily melts to my touch.. why?

"Kokichi i know it may not look like it but i care about you so please becareful and try not to get in alot of trouble im always here for you even when the others tell me not to hang out with you" i choose my word carefully and manipulatively to gain his trust. He's one of the most smartest students here it won't take him long to know who the mastermind is

"I-i um thank you thats really sweet of you to say that-" just when i thought i'll finally see him without his mask we hear an announcement

"Upupupu investigation over! did everyone had a great time? Did anyone found out who did it?"monokuma laughed "Now go to the trial court everyone" monophanie said

~skip trials cause its boring and im too lazy to~

I pretended to act devastated ever since the show start all i've been doing is 'pretend' but that's worth it when i see the despair look on their eyes once they realized that the one they trust the most is actually the mastermind

I force tears out of my eyes "i-i cant believe this happened" the others comforts me but you can also see their eyes getting watery "its okay everythings gonna be fine" kirumi said, i nodded

I was about to walk to my room when kaito stopped me "wait shuichi!" kaito shouted but maki said "no just let him rest" kaito understand and let go of me

Once i got to my room i locked the door and quickly open my laptop just to see everyone talking about rantaro and kaede's death

"I can't believe he actually framed her and pulled it off"

"Kaede's execution is so beautiful"

"Wow im already excited about this new season"

"WHAT? So the detective is the mastermind thats new"

"You can see how sad kokichi actually is" someone replied "yeah i think his hanahaki disease is caused by him but he's already death lol" i reread it again and it made me confuse... hanahaki disease? I heard about it but dont know much only that its cause by one-sided love and im sure i didn't made it as a motive, does he have it pregame? I look at the other footage i got from the camera then i saw it...

Kokichi throwing up flowers "so he does have it" i can't believe i havent noticed this before. Does kokichi like rantaro amami? I dont know why but i feel a bit jealousy- NO maybe its nothing and just my tiredness catching up on me yeah im sure im just tired. I'll research about it tomorrow but for now i'll just sleep. I closed my laptop, put my hat somewhere on the table and walk towards my bed. I rethink everything that happened today "hah~ its only chapter 1 and everything is already getting exciting i cant wait for more" with my last thought i finally fall asleep
