Kokichi's POV:
I walk to the dining hall for breakfast. Monokuma hasn't given us a motive in awhile, and it starts to slightly worry me. Everyone's still alive, as of now, so Monokuma has been going crazy trying to get us to kill each other. Nobody's listened to him yet though.
"Good morning!" I chirp, swinging open the doors of the dining hall. A few of the students groan.
"Good morning, Kokichi! Would you like some breakfast?" Kirumi greets me. I smile and nod. Kirumi walks off while Miu waves me over to her table with Rantaro, Kaede, and Kiibo. I look around the room before sitting down with her.
"Hey, where's Shuichi?" I ask in a confused tone. Everyone at the table shrugs. "He's like one of the first people in here, so where the hell is he?"
"I'm not sure, maybe you can go check on him if you're worried." Kaede suggests, smiling softly. Miu just stares at her with admiration. Rantaro and I both exchange a glance and smile at each other.
"Hey, Miu, your gay is showing." I whisper the blonde girl next to me. Miu flushes red before smacking me in the back of the head.
"Shut up, you little shit!" Miu whines. Rantaro and I let out a laugh.
"Okay, I'm gonna go check on Shuichi, I'll be right back." I tell the group before standing up. I run out of the dining hall and to the dorms as fast as I can. What if he's hurt? Honestly he's never been late to breakfast. It worries me!
I look at every dorm room until I finally reach Shuichi's. Taking a step forward, I knock on his door. "Shushu! Come on, it's time to get up!" I exclaim. There's no answer. My brain immediately panicks. "Shuichi! Open up!" No answer again. I grab the doorknob and turn it. His room is unlocked...
Fearing the worst, the door flies open and I run inside the room. I turn on the lights and see what I never expected to see in my entire life! A baby sitting on Shuichi's bed! He looks exactly like Shuichi! Oh my God, he's so little! I slowly approach the small child. When Shuichi notices me, he immediately looks nervous. He stares at me with his big golden eyes, his index finger slightly hanging out of his mouth. He looks like he's about two years old.
"Aw, would you look at that. You're so cute." I say, sitting on the bed next to the child. He looks up at me with fearful eyes. "It's alright, Shuichi, I'm not gonna hurt you." I hold my hand out, and the small Shuichi looks at me hesitantly before placing his tiny hand on mine. His hair is so frizzy, but he still has a little ahoge. I smile and lift the baby into my arms. "There, is that better?"
Shuichi's tiny head nods slightly. I smile and Shuichi puts his head on my shoulder. I hold the baby on my hip and begin to walk out of the room, bouncing him slightly. Shuichi giggles a few times whenever I bounce him. His laugh is too cute. I chuckle and stop by my room for a second to grab the hat that I stole from Shuichi.
"Here, you can play with this." I say, chuckling as I put the giant hat on Shuichi's head. He giggles before taking it off his head. I watch as the baby waves it around in the air. "Koki!" My heart melts at the nickname Shuichi made up. I smile and hold the baby closer to me. Shuichi wraps his tiny arms around my neck before hugging me. I hug him back as we reach the dining hall. Shuichi places the hat on my head as I open the door.
"There you are! Where's Shuichi!?" Kaito's loud as fuck voice booms. Shuichi looks around at the mention of his name, shaking slightly. I hold the child's head on my shoulder as I roll my eyes.
"He's right here, moron! And stop yelling, you'll scare Shushu." I reply. Kaito looks at the baby in my arms, as does everyone else. Shuichi whimpers a little bit, burying his head into my shirt.
"Shh, it's alright. All of you, shut up! You're scaring him!" I exclaim at everyone. Rantaro smiles at me while I bounce Shuichi in my arms. Everyone shuts up as I sit down at the table again. I try to set Shuichi down next to me or in my lap, but he insists that I hold him. I guess it's understandable to say the least. He must be scared right now.
One by one, people come over to the table to see little Shuichi. "He's so small." Kaede comments, smiling brightly.
"That he is! And if one of you kids doesn't get to killin', I'll make sure he you have to take care of him forever!" Monokuma exclaims I smile and look at Monokuma.
"Okay, I don't mind taking care of him! Thanks, Monokuma, I've always wanted a kid!" I reply to the demonic bear. Shuichi gets curious and looks up at Monokuma. Monokuma flashes his claws at Shuichi causing him to start crying. Shuichi burries his head into my shirt while crying rather quietly for a baby. "Hey! You made Poochie cry!" Miu shouts. I sway Shuichi back and forth, holding his head in my chest.
"Hey! Mono-asshole! Go away, you're scaring the baby!" I exclaim, glaring at the bear. Everyone else starts glaring at him as well. Monokuma's a little shit.
"I give up! I hate you kids!" Monokuma shouts, disappearing. I sigh in relief before tending to the crying baby in my arms.
"Hey, it's alright. Shh..." I whisper trying to calm him down. Everyone stares at me, surprised I guess. "I used to babysit for my neighbor when I was fourteen leave me alone!"
"There's no way, come on, give him to me." Kaito says as he steps closer to me. I shake my head and continue bouncing the baby.
"No, space moron!" I reply. Kaito reaches out before straight up snatching Shuichi from me. "Hey! Give him back!"
Shuichi starts crying even harder, reaching for me. "Koki!" The baby cries reaching for me. Kaito looks at Shuichi, and then at me. Shuichi continues squirming, so Kaito just hands him back to me. He instantly stops crying, and starts clinging onto my shirt.
"Maybe we should just trust Ouma on this. He seems to know what he's doing." Rantaro suggests, standing next to me. Shuichi stares at Rantaro, feeling curious, but shy. He only lets out little hiccups from crying. I continue to rub circles on his back as Rantaro reaches to pet Shuichi's head.
"There, you're okay." Rantaro says, smiling brightly at Shuichi. Shuichi smiles a little bit in return, but shyly burries his head in my shoulder. I hold my hand on the back of Shuichi's head and stroke his hair. The baby relaxes into my touch, observing everyone else.
"So it's settled, we leave Shuichi with the little shit." Maki says, coldly. Shuichi shifts in my arms, cocking his head in Maki's direction.
"D-Don't be mean!" Shuichi defends me. Maki looks over at me with cold eyes. The baby instantly shrinks back in my arms.
"You heard him! Don't be mean to me! You're also scaring him, you dumbass!" I exclaim, holding Shuichi closer to me. Maki sighs before grabbing Kaito's arm. The two storm out of the cafeteria, closing the doors with a bang. Shuichi jumps a little bit, but insantly relaxes again. "Okay then." Rantaro mutters.
The rest of the students in the dining hall go do whatever they want, leaving me with little Shu. I hear a slight grumble come from Shuichi's stomach. "Oh my God, you must be starving! Let's get you something to eat, yeah?" I say sweetly to the baby.
"He really is good with Shuichi." Kiibo points out. Rantaro, Kaede, and Miu nod in agreeance.
"I didn't think he had it in him, but I guess I was fuckin' wrong." Miu remarks.
"Yeah, I mean Ouma doesn't really seem like the kid type. I guess we were all wrong." Kaede chuckles.
I bounce Shuichi up and down a few times before looking in the fridge. "Hmm... what do you want?" I ask Shuichi. He looks in the fridge before pointing at the blueberries. I smile and pull them out of the fridge.
"Good choice, Shumai." I chuckle as I set Shuichi down on the counter next to the sink. I turn the water on so that I can wash the berries, but Shuichi has other plans.
Giggling, Shuichi puts his hands under the the faucet and starts splashing the water in my direction. I start laughing and grab a handful of water before splashing it onto Shuichi. He squeals before clutching his stomach from laughing so hard.
"You messed with the wrong leader, Shu." I laugh as I flick water onto Shuichi. His laugh is so adorable! I swear he is just the cutest thing!
"Okay, okay, let me wash these." I chuckle as I rinse the berries. I empty the berries into the bowl and pick Shuichi up. He keeps his arms around my neck as I walk back to the deserted dining hall.
I sit down and prop Shuichi up on my lap, placing the blueberries in front of him. He leans back against my chest before reaching into the bowl and shovinga blueberry in his mouth. I pet his head gently while he eats.
"You don't talk much, huh Shu?" I ask the small boy. He shakes his head before eating more berries. I sigh before resting my head on Shuichi's head. "Guess that's to be expected since you're just a baby."
Shuichi smiles before finishing up the rest of his blueberries. He holds one up to me, signaling I should open my mouth. I open up and Shuichi puts a blueberry in my mouth. I smile and lift Shuichi so that he's standing on my lap. The baby chuckles before playing with a string of my gravity defining hair.
I smile at Shuichi thinking about how nice it would be to have a child of my own. I think I'd want a daughter first. I don't know why, I've just always dreamed of having a girl. Heh, I guess I have a little bit of time yet to think about it. For now, I'll just take advantage of the time I have with little Shushu.
