Kokichi POV:
I woke up next to Shuichi. We were cuddling... I thought about what he said to me. Romantic feelings. Like the 'badump badump' feeling in your heart, right? The feeling of your chest pounding, your face going red, and you feel light around the person you like. I learned that from some shows I watched. I thought it was all fake like my parents told me. But... could those shows have been telling the truth? I feel tears roll down my cheeks. What my parents did, those kids, they all hurt me. I thought it was their love.... but it hurt. It hurts, even to this day.... I thought it was supposed to ring in your head... I felt a nagging fear whenever I saw them, I guess I know the reason why now. It wasn't love. It was bullying and abuse. I put my face in Shuichi's chest. The way Shuichi treated me.... did he not love me at all? Was that confession fake? Were my feelings fake? I feel the few drops of tears flow like a river now. I was so stupid, huh? Nobody loves me. But... maybe... just maybe...
Maybe this new Shuichi loves me.... I know he's asleep and won't answer but...
"Do you love me?"
