Iidabashi shook his head at the statement. While he only knew what Kiibo told him while they were building a new body for Kokichi, he understood that things weren't really Kokichi's fault, at least when it came to Kaito dying. In a killing game, he couldn't blame anyone, and from his understanding, Kaito's death wasn't completely related to his execution.
"But, if I understand from what Kiibo said, he died from an illness. While you can argue that his execution was partially to blame, he remembered that even the systems said that the execution failed. Kaito died of other reasons," he stated. "Besides, in a killing game, no one's to blame. You just wanted to end everyone's suffering, and so did he."
Kokichi was silent a moment," he died from his cancer.. I remember, he told me in the afterlife.."
Iidabashi nodded in response. So he had been right about the fact that Kaito didn't die due to his execution, which proved that Kokichi wasn't to blame for his death. He wasn't in control of something like that, so it wasn't his fault in any way.
"Then it's not your fault," he assured him. "You didn't do anything to cause that. He died due to something out of your control."
Iidabashi sighed softly at the comment that Kokichi gave him. He really felt bad for the other and everything that he had gone through, but he was determined to help him. They had only just met, but he cared about him, especially because his son was close to him.
"Even then, it didn't cause his death," he responded softly. "Besides, he agreed to your plan to end the game as well. It's alright."
Kokichi nodded, pulling at his sleeves " thank you.."
Iidabashi only shook his head when Kokichi thanked him. He really didn't think that he needed to be thanked for helping him through everything and getting him to realize that not everything during the killing game was his fault. He was always going to be there to support him since he cared about him.
"You don't need to thank me. I know we don't really know each other, but you can trust me, alright?" he told him softly. "I'm here for you, and so is my son. It's okay."
Kokichi looked over at Kiibo, he gave the other a soft smile " thank you Kiibo.."
Kiibo returned the soft smile that Kokichi gave him. He was certainly glad to see that his friend was in a better mood now, and he was glad that his father knew how to help him. It seemed like everything would be okay in the end.
"No need to thank me," he responded. "My dad and I will always be here for you, promise."
Kokichi nodded and slowly got off the table. His body felt weird, he wasn't used to the robotic body "how .?"
Kiibo seemed to understand the feeling that Kokichi had. It was a bit weird being back in his body after that time in the afterlife, and it had to have felt even weirder for Kokichi because he was a human before then. However, he was sure that he would adjust with time.
"You'll get used to it," he assured him softly. "Even I felt a bit strange coming back into this body, so I imagine it's only stranger for you. However, you'll get used to it. It'll be okay."
" I have to tell everything to move," he mumbled as he tried to walk
Iidabashi listened to Kokichi's complaints to make sure he could come up with an explanation. He was pretty sure that it was just him adjusting to everything. Once he was used to it, movement should be as natural as it used to be, but he knew that it could take a little while.
"It'll take a bit to adjust to your new body, but things will become more natural with time, I assure you," he told him softly. "There's not much to worry about."
Kokichi slowly walked over to Kiibo, wrapping his arms loosely around the other robot. "How did you live like this?"
Kiibo ended up pulling Kokichi into a hug after a moment so he could explain everything to him. He could understand why he was so confused about how he lived his entire life like that, but he was sure that he would adjust one day. He knew that everything would be okay with a bit of time.
"It takes a bit of getting used to, but eventually it'll feel like you're back in your normal body," he assured him softly. "Don't worry too much about it.I'm just glad to have you back."
"I'm glad to have you back as well.. "
Kiibo smiled softly as he continued to hold Kokichi close to him. He wasn't entirely sure why, but he simply felt happy to be with Kokichi at the time. He had already figured out that he cared about him, even going far enough to give him a second chance at life, but he didn't know why he felt happy just to be around him.
"Aww, that's sweet of you to say," he responded softly. "It's nice to see that you're working on being more honest with others, too."
Kokichi chuckled and kissed at Kiibo's jaw. He sighed softly and waited for the rejection
Kiibo blushed a lot when Kokichi kissed him, and he didn't really know how to respond. He was completely quiet, really, his face a bright red from the embarrassment. He certainly hadn't expected Kokichi to suddenly kiss his jaw like that, which left him completely unsure of how to respond. He seemed to be a bit happy, though, aside from heavily flustered.
"sorry.." Kokichi mumbled.. " I didn't get to tell you that night.."
Kiibo shook his head when Kokichi apologized. He really didn't think that he needed to apologize for anything, and he didn't even know that Kokichi liked him to begin with. He wasn't sure if he would have believed him back then, but he certainly believed him now, and he wanted him to know that he felt the same, but he was far too flustered to say anything, causing him to remain silent at the time.
Kokichi felt his body shutter, letting go as he felt his tears build.
Kiibo appeared to be confused when he felt Kokichi let go of him, and that turned into concern when he realized that the other was about to cry. He didn't know what was going on, but he wanted to help him. He really didn't want to see the other upset, although he wasn't sure if he'd know how to help him. Either way, he was going to try his best.
"Ouma-kun?" he asked softly. "What's wrong?"
"i- I kissed you and you stayed silent and- and I made you mad.." he mumbled
Kiibo immediately shook his head when Kokichi said that he made him mad. He didn't even do anything close, although he was right about his silence. However, that was due to the sudden kiss leaving him flustered and completely speechless. It had nothing to do with anger, and he would assure him of that.
"You didn't anger me, though," he assured him. "I was silent, yes, but I was at a loss for words. It was sudden and caught me off guard, but I'm not mad about it." There was a brief pause before he made his next statement. "I-I, um, I guess I should tell you something… Is that okay…?"
