Chapter 9
[Song: Nightcore - Forgettable]
Rantaro's POV
I looked at Kokichi. He was silent and looking at the flowers. The wind began to blow as he kneeled down to pick more flowers. His hair softly blew in the wind.
Petals from the smaller flowers began to fly away and butterflies began to come surround the flower bed Kokichi say in. It was like they were attracted to him.
The sky began to go from blue to orangish. 'Have we been out that long?' Kokichi held on tighter to the bouquet and pulled it closer, almost hugging it.
He turned around and looked at me. His eyes sparkling in the light of the sunset. Petals flying around him and in his hair. Butterflies surrounding him and on his finger. The sunlight hit his face just right.
It was like I had just seen an angel. I couldn't look away. My heart began to bang in my chest as I looked on. He looked curiously at me and giggled. That one smile was able able to make my heart race.
'What's going on? What is this feeling? Why do I feel like this?' After looking at the sunset for a bit, that beautiful light in Kokichi's eyes disappeared. His eyes dulled and the smile left. He got up and began to walk away. Probably home.
I did the same but my heart wouldn't stop racing. When I got home I placed the permission slip on the counter went straight to my room and layed down on my bed. Just the thought of how pretty he looked was enough to make my face go red.
I thought about when he kissed me and when he was pushed into my arms. The way he looked at me, looking so innocent. When he smiled so innocently this morning, at Hajime and Nagito.
He smiled at them... Not me.... I didn't like that. I want to be the only one who gets to see that smile. Hear his giggle.....
"Rantaaaaro!" My sister barged into my room, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Mom signed your thingy." She put the paper on my bed and was about to leave, but I stopped her. "Hey.. Is there someone who makes you feel... I don't know... Warm? Inside.. Like you just get this feeling when they're around you.."
Before I could say anymore she turned around and chuckled. "Aww, does someone need help figuring out their feelings?" I looked away. "Y-Yeah..I guess.." She smiled and sat down on my bed. I sat up cross legged and looked at her.
She gestured torwards me, signaling me to tell her about it. "Well.....they suddenly make me all happy to be around them and they're smile is one of the best things to see... And I can't seem to get mad at them.. " I explained what I felt and she took a moment to think.
"Well you definitely like them...but the question is whether they like you or not." I suddenly got nervous. 'Does Kokichi like me? No....of course he doesn't...' "Hmm.. Well are they outgoing or secretive? What kind of person are they?"
"Well he's-" She cut me off before I could say. "HA! I knew it! You're not straight! I always knew you were bi!" My sister fist pumped the air and squeeled in excitement.
I just looked at her in disbelief... 'Seriously? That's not what's important right now!' He seemed to take the hint and got back to business. "Oh right! Ahem. Please continue."
"Well everyone says he was really cheerful and outgoing and fun before.. But now he's kinda secretive and he won't open up. He doesn't act super happy and usually enjoys avoiding others and silence.."
"Yikes. This'll be a tough one! Then what you need to work on is getting him to open up. If you can, then he'll learn to trust you and you have a chance of being the closest person to him!" My sister said excitedly. She pat me on the back and wished me good luck. Then ran out of my room.
I fell backwards and stared up at the ceiling. "Sigh So this is what love feels like, huh? What an amazing feeling! I guess I really have fallen for you Kokichi. I guess what I said earlier wasn't just a tease." I turned over. "I really will make this 'ship' sail. Heh. I guess this'll be interesting."
