It All Started By One Single Tear (Rantaro x reader x YandereMastermind Kokichi)

Chapter 1 Part 8: Additional Motive Revealed, and Nail Art Equals Closer Bonds

Kokichi's POV:

    I watched Rantaro walk up to (y/n)'s door and ring the doorbell. I balled my fists, watching from the background being very upset.
    'Damnit! I wanted to be the one to hang out with her first. You just had to take that away from me too,' I thought angrily.
    Rantaro invited (y/n) to the library to find some manga, and she agreed. He then offered his hand to her and she took it. I gritted my teeth, feeling more of my self control leaving my body.

    'If he tries to take her away from me... I'll..... I'll.....!'

Your POV:

    I smiled lightly as Rantaro and I walked into the library. We both started to search for manga on the shelves, finding many volumes. Rantaro and I seemed to have gotten closer today. I checked my mono pad to see if I had a gift for him. I realized I had a silver ring shaped earring in there. I thought it would be perfect for him since he normally wears earrings. I took the earring, and handed it to him. A look of shock invaded his features.
    "Is this for me?" he asked.
    "Yes it is. I thought you'd like it because you have cartilage piercings. It looked so 'you' that I had to get it for you," I replied with a light smile.
    "You're so nice and sweet to someone who doesn't remember their talent. I'll make sure I cherish this gift forever because I really love it," Rantaro replied with a light blush.
    "I'm just glad you like it. So, why don't we read some manga," I said.
    "Yeah sure," he replied.
    Rantaro took the first volume of Full Metal Alchemist and started reading it, while I took the first volume of Fruits Basket and started reading it. Tohru Honda was the main protagonist. She lost her father and mother. Her father died earlier than the mother, and the mother died in a car accident. The parents were so loving to Tohru, making her the kind sweet person she was in the day of that manga.
"Hey Rantaro?" I asked.
"Yes, what is is?" Rantaro asked me, looking up from the manga he was reading.
"Do you ever feel envious of someone, even if they aren't real?" I asked.
"I guess you could say that. From reading this manga so far, I'm slightly envious of Edward. He sacrificed part of himself to save his brother, yet I can't even find my sisters," Rantaro explained, looking up from the book he was reading.
"I'm envious of Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket. She is such a nice girl despite the fact that both of her parents passed away. She acts like nothing bothers her, but it really does. I wish I had her mindset..." I explained.
"Whats stopping you?" Rantaro asked me, "if you want to have her mindset, then try to focus your mind on doing things like she would. That kind of optimism would help us."
"I guess you're right," I replied with a sigh, "why do you like talking to me?"
"Everyone here has very interesting personalities. Miu with her vulgar language. I think she'd most likely be the one on top," Rantaro explained, adding an innuendo.
"Pretty creative with sex related puns, aren't you Rantaro?" I asked, laughing slightly.
"Ah-haha, you catch on pretty quick. In any case, I like hanging out with you because you are the most normal one here, well you and Kaede are. You are someone I feel like I can trust," Rantaro explained.
"Then why don't you tell me about the Ultimate Hunt thing then? If you trust me so much," I replied.
"That's because I don't want you to get yourself hurt," Rantaro stated.
"Because you didn't tell me anything, I tried to do the obstacle course thing by myself..." I replied.
"I know that... didn't I say I was going to stay around you to ensure that doesn't happen again?" Rantaro asked with a slight laugh.
    "Yeah you did," I laughed in response.
    After that, we read our books, making comments about funny parts in the books we read. We even showed each other what made us laugh in the book.

Kokichi's POV:

    I stared at Rantaro and (y/n) as they were reading manga in the library. The look on her face.
    'She looks so happy,' I thought, 'do I still have a chance? I think I would if I... K i l l e d  R a n t a r o . . .'
