dyingdetective: um
dyingdetective: i can ask him

“Take a picture,” says the purple-haired boy sitting next to Shuichi, quietly, so as not to be noticed by the teacher. There’s a smirk on his face as he says it, barely even bothering to glance at Shuichi. “It’ll last longer.”
Shuichi abruptly realizes he’s staring and reverts his gaze back to his notebook. “Sorry,” he says sheepishly. “You, um… You’re Kokichi, right?”
Kokichi nods. “Do you how do?” he says, reaching out to shake Shuichi’s hand. Shuichi hesitantly accepts it, half-nervous the student is hiding a buzzer in his palm. “Nice to meet you, Shuichi!”
“Yeah, you too,” Shuichi says, trying to offer him a smile. “Uh… so, I’m in Power Play, and I noticed your name on that list, too,”
“Yeah, I just needed an extracurricular, and it was available, so,” He says with a shrug.
That seems like an odd reason to join a show choir, but Shuichi pays it no mind. “Right, right, uh-- Do you have an On Blast account? We have a groupchat on there that I could add you to, so you know when rehearsals and competitions and, y’know, everything else, are,”
Kokichi raises an eyebrow at Shuichi, an inquisitive smile crossing his face. Whatever he was going to say, he foregoes it in favor of pulling his phone from his pocket and opening the OB app, passing it to Shuichi. “Find your account, I’ll follow you,”
“Oh, uh, sure,” Shuichi says, gingerly taking the phone (which, for some godforsaken reason, is lacking a case?) and searching up his own username. He passes it back to Kokichi, who examines it for a moment, and then, there’s a buzz in Shuichi’s jacket pocket. He pulls his phone out, examining the notification.
@ PHANTOMTHIEF followed you.
“Phantom Thief,” Shuichi repeats to himself. “Cool.”
Kokichi opens his mouth to respond, but is cut off by the teacher at the front of the classroom loudly clapping her hands. “Boys. Would you like to share whatever you’re texting about right now?”
On impulse, Shuichi starts to apologize, but Kokichi doesn’t miss a beat, leaning forward in his seat. “Shumai was just sending the syllabus to me. Y’know, like you forgot to do?” He lies coolly, and Shuichi, startled by the nickname, stares at him, eyes widening a little-- in the blink of an eye, Kokichi switches from his account on On Blast to Google Drive, the class’s syllabus document opened, and then flips that screen toward the teacher, so smoothly he doesn’t register it happening.
Evidently, neither does the teacher. She recognizes the obnoxious little PicsArt icon she made for the syllabus in the corner of the screen and clears her throat. “Very well. No more phones from now on, Ouma,”
“Sure thing, teach,” he responds, sleeping his phone. And to top it off, he turns to Shuichi and, only barely loud enough for the people around them to hear, says “Thanks for helping me,”
He looks at Shuichi expectantly for a moment before Shuichi realizes he is supposed to respond. “Oh. Sure thing, any time,” They both lean back into their seats, and the teacher continues droning on about whatever she was droning on about.
When Shuichi glances over at Kokichi, he’s grinning slyly. He gives Shuichi a cheeky thumbs up.

A pink-nailed finger is pointing out Kokichi’s name.)
treblemaker: see
phantomthief: hmmm, that must be a mistake of some kind because i did not sign up
treblemaker: are you sure
treblemaker: because everyone has to sign a permission slip and make a financial dedication in order to even get their name on that list
phantomthief: well i did all that but it was all for crew :/
dyingdetective: … including the financial dedication?
phantomthief: of course i did the financial dedication shumai!! do u take me for a cheapskate? >:(
dyingdetective: kokichi
dyingdetective: there is no financial dedication for tech crew
phantomthief: huh
dyingdetective: you didn't make a financial dedication for crew, you made one for the choir itself
dyingdetective: which you are now a part of
phantomthief: .
phantomthief: Huh
