The air at Dangan Academy has thinned since the first death occurred. Many were affected by it, But it hit Oma the hardest. His personality is always so bright and it seemed nothing could break his mask. Although, he's been acting...different lately. Not his usual perky attitude to say the least. Not many of his peers' even bothered to notice, but there was one star-loving astronaut who noticed the sudden swing in Oma's mood. At first, He thought nothing of it. It was most likely some scheme to get attention. Then he stopped coming out of his room. Now he was starting to worry.
I walked into the dining hall and sat down in my usual seat next to Shuichi. But no Oma, that's the fifth day in a row now.
"Have any of you seen Oma lately? He hasn't came out of his room in a while huh?" I said with an awkward face, only to realize they didn't bat an eye. Nobody seemed to care about him; Kurumi placed a plate Infront of me, "I've tried to get him to come out of his room, but he refuses to budge. so I just gave up on it. He'll come out when's he's ready." She walked back to the kitchen without saying another word. Well...I knew the others disliked Oma-kun but he didn't know they *hated* him. "I have to admit, I kind of enjoy the peace and quiet without that degenerate Oma telling annoying lies all through out the day!" Tenko said with a slight smile. "Well...I guess it's been pretty peaceful but...Aren't any of you worried?" I said, my tone lowering slightly. The room went dead silent. They all just sat there with guilt imprinted all over their faces. "...I'm disappointed in you all." I said, standing up from my seat and walking out of the room. That seemed to get their attention for a moment, until they went back to not giving a single shit about Oma's well-being.
It had started to rain as I walked towards the dorm building. Just great, as if this day could get any better. I was planning on visiting Oma's dorm after breakfast, but I decided now was the best time to pay him a brief visit.
I walked up to his door nervously as I knocked on the door."O-Oma..? are you in there..?" Silence. I was getting desperate, I needed to know if he was ok. "Oma. I'm coming in alright.?" as I was about to turn the knob I heard a quiet voice say, "J-just go away Kaito. "Oh thank god...He's ok.."O-Oma..I just wanna talk alright?-" I opened the door to a cold, dark room with pillows and blankets thrown all over the floor, trash on almost every surface in his room and a depressing aura surrounding the bed he was lying on.
"Didn't I tell you to leave me alone..?!" He sat up on his bed with tears flooding his glossy lavender eyes. "Hey Oma..I just wanted to check up on you...I was...Worried about you." I sat down on the bed next to him and gave him a side hug. "H-huh..? W-what are you doing.?" I watched as his pale face filled with blush, I have to admit it was pretty damn cute..im not gay or anything..! "like I said Oma-kun. I wanna make you feel better. I know what you're going through and I just wanna say, I'm here for you." Tears started to stream down his pretty pink cheeks. "H-hey!- it's alright don't cry Oma.!" I wiped the tears from his face as I cupped his cheek. "Is this some kind of stupid prank..? Are you just trying to play with my feelings..?" He said as he buried his face into my chest. "of course not Oma-kun. I'd never do that to you." I could feel his grip tighten around my waist as he hugged me. "Kai..?" "..Yes Oma?" "Do you love me.?" I froze. I didn't know what to say to him. But I knew I had fallen for him. "Yes Kichi..I love you." Oma giggled, "hehe Kai-chan loves meee.." I stroked his soft hair as he drifted off into sleep, I love you Oma-kun..I love you.
