Work Text:
Kokichi shows up at Shuichi's door wearing the taller boy's hoodie and some slippers, along with his rainbow socks. He brought a pillow with him too... Shuichi knew the drill by now. If he shows up in sleep attire with a pillow, he wants a sleepover.
Shuichi invited Kokichi inside with a simple chuckle, staying quiet aside from that.
"Wow, Saihara-chan! Your room is sooo boring." Mind you, Kokichi was lying again. He's been here many times and has even admitted to liking it, but it's not like it's unusual for him to joke. Shuichi ignores it.
The small leader flops down onto the detective's bed, shame lacking in his actions.
"I still have work to do, Kokichi," Saihara explained.
"Oh, come on. You can't even relax when I'm over?" Kokichi gives Shuichi his best begging face, and the blue-haired boy sighs.
"Fine."
Shuichi could almost smell the yippie sound coming off of Kokichi based on his expression. The liar aggressively pats the space next to him on the bed, in which the truthful boy accepted the offer.
Kokichi quickly rested his head on Shuichi's chest and yawned. "Saihara-chann!"
The detective looks down.
"Read me a storyyy? Pretty please? I love your voice!"
Shuichi smiles warmly, a small blush creeping onto his cheeks from the compliment. "Alright. Which one do you wanna read this time? We've got 'Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!', 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar', and 'Green Eggs and Ham'."
"Hmm.. the caterpillar one."
"Gotcha," Shuichi mumbles in acknowledgement before beginning to read the short children's story. A few moments, Kokichi giggles, causing the older boy to smile.
Though the book isn't quite that interesting to Saihara, he wants to make his boyfriend happy, and make the boy happy he shall. He already seemed to be having a good time...
"And, the end."
"Aww, was that really it? How boring, I really thought he would start eating humans or something," Ouma yawns.
"Where'd you get that idea from?" Shuichi manages a chuckle.
"My imagination!" The purple haired boy points to his head with a grin.
"Well, that big imagination of yours is.. fascinating..."
Kokichi yawns again and crawls onto Shuichi again. "Can we go to sleep now? I'm soo tired. What is it, 3 am?"
"It's 10."
"Same diff."
The detective scoffs playfully before pulling the smaller boy into a warm embrace. Ouma almost immediately hugs back, nuzzling his face into Shuichi's soft chest, eliciting another chuckle from the slender boy.
Shuichi ticks the lamp switch two places to the right, turning it off and enveloping the room in pitch darkness.
"Goodnight Kokichi," Shuichi whispers before kissing the top of the leader's head.
"Nighty night, Saihara-chan!"
