Chapter Text
A sunny day, at a water park as a date, and Himiko is Kokichi’s girl. She’s his adorable, precious girl who lights up his world.
Hearing her voice makes his heart flutter and the tips of his hair fly like wings. Her smile makes him see colourful lights of pink and yellow.
It’s so sweet and happy, making his life that used to be lonely and full of problems wash away. For someone with major trust issues to the point where he has a hard time trusting his own friends, he finds comfort that he could trust Himiko completely.
“Kokichi.”
“Yeah?”
“Quit staring at me… I can’t be that cute...” Himiko mutters, lowering her head to the side to cover her blush. Hearing her call him out for staring had him blush even stronger than her, a large and dopey grin coming to his face as he lies, “Of course not! I was just staring at the ugly mole on your face.”
“What?!” Himiko says in alarm, no longer hiding her face and touching it all over to feel if there are any unwanted bumps.
“Oh- nope, looks like that’s just your nose.”
She immediately calms down and responds, “You’re annoying…”
“And you’re cute.”
“Nyeh… Annoying…” She wishes that she was wearing her mage hat so she could use it to cover her embarrassed face.
Kokichi gets up and says, “Come on, let’s go play in the wave pool.”
“But I’m still drinking my soda, and sitting is relaxing… Aaahh…” she lets out a relaxed sigh, slouching on the round table and taking a sip out of her soda can.
“Alright then, I’ll drink with you.” Kokichi puts his straw into her can and takes a sip along with her, making her pull away and almost choke from surprise. He teases, “Awww, is baby Himiko too shy to share a drink with a boy? Is she taking this as an indirect kiss?”
“N- no! We kissed before, I won’t get shy from an indirect kiss. I was just surprised that your face got so close to mine.”
“Oh, so you are too shy. Nishishi!”
“Nyeh…! Why are you taking my drink, anyway?”
“I’m not taking it, I’m sharing it with you, but I see that you don’t wanna share with me; so mean…”
Not being able to resist his pouty face, Himiko gives in and starts drinking along with him, muttering halfway through, “You don’t even like strawberry Panta…”
“Yes I do, strawberry is my favourite flavour!”
“No it’s not, grape is your favourite flavour.”
“Not after I got a taste of you,” he responds slyly, referring to their first-ever kiss. Himiko’s face was almost as red as her hair after he said that, and she couldn’t help but cover her face with her hands. Seeing her reaction, he felt satisfied and went back to drinking. She stutters before going back to her drink, “In- in that case, I started to like grape flavour… just a little more… after I got a taste of you.”
He suddenly found it harder to not hesitate away from his straw. “Jeez, Himiko, do you always have to say embarrassing things like that…?”
“You’re the one who says embarrassing things, I just added on to it!”
Kokichi wanted to play with Himiko in the wave pool and mess around with her tube, but sharing a drink with her on a sunny day and being able to have a good look at her is nice, too.
