The next few hours passed with the two cuddling with each other and sleeping peacefully. After a few more hours passed, Shuichi woke up, and he felt a lot better than he had been most of the time. Korekiyo truly was right; all he needed was a nice break.
Korekiyo wouldn't let shuichi leave his arms “mine..” he mumbles
Shuichi honestly didn't mind that. He honestly thought that it was pretty nice, although he certainly hadn't expected to see a clingy side of Korekiyo that day. He didn't mind it, though, especially since he was enjoying the cuddles.
Shuichi smiled softly in response to the statement. Honestly, he was pretty happy to hear Korekiyo say that he loved him, as he honestly felt the same way. Of course, he had made that pretty obvious by then, but it was always going to be true.
"I love you too," he responded softly after a moment.
Korekiyo chuckled, kissing the others neck gently
Shuichi couldn't help but blush a bit at the kiss, but he was honestly happy with the other. He was glad to have Korekiyo in his life, all things considered. The other made him incredibly happy, so he enjoyed being around him most of the time.
“We should get something done darling”
Shuichi nodded in response. As nice as cuddling with Korekiyo was, there were still things that needed to be done, so they couldn't just stay there forever, even with how nice it was and how much both of them enjoyed it.
"Yeah, we do need to get something done," he agreed, "but what?"
“He can go to the scene or I can and you can get the files from the office (time for drama)
(You just wanted an excuse for Korekiyo to be alone, didn't you?)
Shuichi nodded in response to the idea. It was a pretty good idea for them to get back to solving the case and all that. He sighed softly to himself as he realized that the investigation probably didn't get very far without him. While he had ended up enjoying the break that he took, he wasn't sure if he should really take one again soon.
"Alright. If you wanna head back to the scene, perfect," he responded softly. "I'll go get some of the files, and then we can meet up, alright?"
(I know. We talked about it at lunch)
“Alright,”
After korekiyo had been at the scene, he started looking around “..?”
While Korekiyo was investigating the scene, the murderer returned to see the detective quietly looking around. He decided that he was going to get his revenge on him for trying to solve the crime, so he shot him a couple of times from the shadows before disappearing.
Korekiyo felt the bullets pierce his back, and blood immediately rush his throat as he coughed it up. The gentle giant dropped to a knee “ ah..”
Shuichi kept texting Korekiyo as he was walking back to the scene with the files. He was worried because of the lack of response, so he eventually began running back towards the scene. Once he saw Korekiyo on the ground, he rushed to his side.
"Korekiyo!" he exclaimed, worried. "What happened…?!"
Shuichi kept texting Korekiyo as he was walking back to the scene with the files. He was worried because of the lack of response, so he eventually began running back towards the scene. Once he saw Korekiyo on the ground, he rushed to his side.
"Korekiyo!" he exclaimed, worried. "What happened…?!"
“Hospital.. Please..” he yelped out, hearing a few people yell about the shooting
Shuichi nodded in response and quickly picked Korekiyo up. Luckily, the hospital wasn't incredibly far from the crime scene, so he got there pretty quickly. While trying his best to remain calm despite his anxiety, which wasn't going too well for him, he checked Korekiyo in and explained the situation. He was really worried, hoping that the other would be okay.
Korekiyo was rushed into emergency surgery, a fifty-fifty shot of surviving
Shuichi was a rather worried mess as Korekiyo was rushed into surgery. Honestly, he was scared that the other was going to die, and he didn't want that to happen. However, he was just as likely to die as he was to live, which worried him. He wanted the other to survive. He was honestly beginning to panic a little as he waited.
Kokichi, who was korekiyo's emergency contact, had turned in “what happened!?”
Shuichi turned to look at Kokichi as soon as he rushed in. By that point, he was already crying, and he had only gotten there with Korekiyo about five minutes prior. He couldn't help it; he was naturally anxious and now someone he was close to was dying.
"Korekiyo…he…he…" he began as he cried, unable to get the words out by that point as he simply began sobbing instead, panic taking over his mind.
Kokichi felt his breath still “oh he finally confessed didn't he.. That's why you're here..” he whispered and pulled shuichi closer
