Kokichi knew that something was bothering Kiibo, and he was determined to figure out what it was. He shook the other gently, hoping to wake him up. He just wanted to know what was going on so he could make sure that his lover was okay.
Kiibo woke up after a moment, opening tired eyes at kokichi “?”
Kokichi glanced at him before finding a piece of paper, deciding that there was probably no other way to ask about what was wrong at the time.
Kiiboy, you're hiding something from me. What is it? What's wrong? Please tell me…
He showed it to Kiibo once he finished writing, hoping that he'd get a response.
Kiibos eyes widened before his face turned a slight bit red “ I- I'm sorry, I can't yet,” he said softly
Kokichi tilted his head in confusion before taking the paper back to ask him something else.
You're embarrassed, which is a bit strange… I get that you can't tell me, but at least tell me if you're okay…
“ I'm fine I promise “ he whispered
Kiiboy…if something's wrong or bothering you, I want to know…
“ nothings bother in me promise “ he said softly “ just sleep my love..”
Kokichi shook his head. He couldn't sleep with everything that was on his mind.
“ Please “ kiibo begged softly “ ill tell you tomorrow “ he said and sighed
Kokichi finally decided to give in and stopped pressing into the matter. It wasn't long before he fell asleep, as once he stopped thinking about it, all he really did think about was just preventing Kiibo from worrying about him. He woke up the next morning, still cuddling with Kiibo. As he had just woken up, he had momentarily forgotten about the previous day.
Kiibo woke up when kokichi did, smiling softly
Kokichi smiled a bit as Kiibo as he woke up, a way of telling the other that he was continuing to get better, even if it was slowly.
Kiibo smiled back, nuzzling into kokichi
Kokichi still wasn't sure if he should be saying anything, so he kept quiet, but he enjoyed the cuddles with Kiibo. However, after a few minutes, his smile faded as he remembered the conversation he had with Kiibo the night prior.
Kiibo sighed, knowing kokichis look. “ finnnee “ he said softly
Kokichi looked at him, waiting for Kiibo to tell him what was going on.
Kiibo got off the bed and reached into his dresser for something, eventually, he pulled out a small box with kokichis initials on it
Kokichi tilted his head slightly in confusion, wondering what the box was for and why it had his initials on it. He looked up at Kiibo, hoping to get an explanation.
Kiibo looked over, his face shaded with quite a bit of red. He helped kokichi stand before getting on a knee “ kokichi- I.. Um “ kiibo stuttered helplessly as he tried to rein in his feelings
Kokichi couldn't help but feel his face go red as he quickly caught on to what Kiibo was doing. Before Kiibo could even finish getting the words out, Kokichi nodded in response, already knowing what his lover was going to ask him.
Kiibo lit up with a smile, picking kokichi up and spinning him around
Kokichi smiled a bit as Kiibo did that. He was incredibly happy in that moment. He always thought that he'd be the one who'd propose, but he didn't mind that Kiibo had done so. It helped bring happiness to him. Kiibo's general presence made all of Kokichi's sick days better.
Kiibo smiled, he wouldn't tell that kokichis illness was terminal (now for the drama) not would he say that he was worried for his lover
(That explains why he proposed within a week of them dating-)
Kokichi didn't know anything about his illness, nor did he know that Kiibo knew about the severity. He just assumed that he'd get better with time, as he seemed to be getting better by the day. As he remained oblivious, he smiled softly at Kiibo, incredibly happy to be with the other.
