Once again, this is non-canon.
And you'll probably simp for Shoko even more during this chapter.
Shoko and Kiyo are married here. :)
Shoko PoV
Ayanokoji Shoko, that is my brand new name.
Yes, believe it or not, but I married my idiot of a husband.
Why?
Precisely because he's my idiot of a husband.
That, or I have bad taste, heh.
I am currently 25 years old and I currently work as a nurse.
Nurse? Kazumi Shoko, you must be joking! Is what you're probably thinking, right?
Well you better fucking believe it.
And you better fucking accept it.
My husband, who is also currently the same age as me.
Was currently managing his own company.
Annnd I'm too lazy to go into details of his job.
I just finished cooking dinner and I was currently placing the food I made on the dining table.
I then received a message notification on my phone.
I hurried to my phone and checked what it was.
IdiotSandwich: Sorry, will probably come home late. I still have a few meetings and dozens of paperworks to go through.
I slightly frowned.
Hm? You think I'm frowning because I'm disappointed he won't come home early or something?
HA! WRONG!
I was frowning because this little shit made me cook a dinner for two and couldn't even come home to eat his share of the food!
Come on! You're the fucking owner!
Me: Is that so, guess I'll eat everything myself.
IdiotSandwich: Oi. Leave me some, alright?
Me: 🤭
IdiotSandwich: Ugh. Anyway, I have to go. I love you Shoko.
Me: I love me too 💗
Heh.
I placed my phone down on the table.
" Welp, guess I'll dig in." I said to myself and went back to the dining table.
I pulled a chair and sat down.
As I was eating, I noticed something from the corner of my eye.
" Hm....?" I looked towards the wall.
I saw a black speck.
It was moving.
WAIT, SHIT. IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING COCKROACH?!
I instantly froze in my seat as I stared at it.
I-It's just....there.....
The cockroach was simply chilling on the wall while I couldn't move.
I refused to move.
GET OUT! WHY IS THERE A COCKROACH HERE?! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHBHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I kept internally screaming to myself as I watched the cockroach slowly move into a little hole.
" L-Leave me a-a-alone you brown pi-piece of shit!" I yelled at the cockroach.
The fucker finally left through one of the small holes at the corner of the wall.
But it didn't make me feel any better....
That little shit is still around the house somewhere....
And that unsettles me.
But while the little shit is gone, I quickly kept away the food and cleaned up.
( 9:00 pm)
I was hiding in our blankets as the paranoia sets in.
I-It's dark.....w-what if it gets into our room!
I couldn't do this.
I couldn't sleep.
I was afraid that the cockroach will get into our room while I'm sleeping and unaware that a satanic creature had snuck in.
I was breathing heavily.
WHY!
WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE COCKROACHES!
WHY IS IT THE UGLY PESTS THAT GETS TO SURVIVE THE EXTINCTION OF THE DINOSAURS?!
COCKROACHES SHOULD'VE DIED WITH THEM!
No...calm down Shoko....
Just.....Just go to sleep....it'll be better that way.....
I tried to force myself to sleep.
( 9:45 pm )
I woke up.
I was thirsty.
I needed to get a drink of water.
B-But....what about the cockroach....
Ugh. This situation is so shit!
I didn't know whether I should tough this out and go to sleep, or go downstairs to get water, even though that little shit will pop out somewhere.
I REALLY need to drink water though....
Fine. You know what? I'm Ayanokoji Shoko, I'm not scared of anything! IT'S JUST A BUG! A BUG THAT IS NOTHING COMPARED TO A HUMAN BEING.
YOU CAN DO THIS.
I shakily got up from the bed and turned on the lights.
I walked downstairs slowly, making sure to examine the room, making sure that the little shit is not there.
I released a sigh of relief once I reached down the end of the stairs.
Maybe it's gone....
Wait....
What if it's........in the kitchen....
My paranoia got even worse.
I turned on the kitchen lights and took a little peek.
It's not there....
Welp. Just gotta drink water and get the fuck out.
I hurriedly got a glass of water and chugged it down quickly.
" Okay....time to-" I was suddenly cut off when I spotted the little fucker on the table.
I backed away.
" NO! HELL NAH!" I backed away further.
I'm going to bed.
But as I was about to go up the stairs....
I suddenly paused.
I glanced at the cockroach again to see if it's still on the table.
I tightened my fist.
What the hell am I doing?
Running away from a fucking bug?
I thought to myself on how stupid I was acting.
If cockroaches could talk, it'd probably be laughing at me and telling me how much of a clown I was acting.
I'm a grown woman.
I can handle killing a bug.
I'm bigger!
Stronger!
That little shit is nothing!
I released a sigh.
" If I let it live.....it will only multiply...." I reasoned.
I backed away from the stairs.
I have to kill that bug, right here and now.
After motivating myself, I grabbed a slipper.
The traditional cockroach killer!
It's elastic force can oneshot the little piece of shit if I can give it my all.
But I need to test this cockroach's movements.
I slowly stepped towards the table.
I'm going to decimate that little fucker.
He dares enter my home?!
YOU WANNA LIVE HERE, THEN YOU BETTER PAY RENT, BUDDY!
BUT COCKROACHES NO HAVE MONEY HUH.
I talked to myself to try and forget the fear.
The cockroach must have sensed my movement and suddenly started moving.
I froze.
I watched as it slowly went down the table and was currently moving on the floor.
And then-
Wait....
I watched as it tried to move full speed but....
It-It's slow....?
IS THIS FUCKER MESSING WITH ME OR SOMETHING?!
I followed it closely from behind, making sure that this son of a bitch wasn't jebaiting me.
It was still moving in the same pace.
It's actually slow....
I gripped the slipper I was holding in one hand.
I began smiling creepily.
" HAHAHAHAHAHHAH! YOU SLOW FUCK!" I said.
My confidence sky rocketed as I followed it, only delaying its inevitable death.
" It ends here." I spoke.
The cockroach had nowhere to go.
" You.....you and your kind had traumatized me ever since I was a little girl.......but now........here you are, weak....little.....alone...." I monologued.
I shoved away the dark memories of my childhood.
I didn't want to remember too much of the pain this shits caused me.
" And here I am....bigger than I ever was......with a slipper in one hand....and vengeance in the deepest depths of my heart. This is personal. It didn't have to be, but you little shits made it personal." I said as I raised the slipper up.
I felt like an evil anime character.
I felt like this would be one of the scenes where my eyes would be glowing red.
" You....will terrorize me no longer. NOW DIE!" I yelled as I put all my force into smacking it with the slipper.
SMACK!
I released heavy breaths as adrenaline rushed through me.
D-Did....I do it?
I lifted the slipper slowly.
My eyes widened.
" It's over...." I said in shock as I saw its dead corpse, squashed by the power of my slipper in hand.
"hah.....haha......hahahaha.....HAHAHAHAHAH!" I began to cackle like maniac.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHA! " I felt like a psychopath laughing at their first murder.
" That's right..........I......am not afraid of your kind, any longer." I spoke to its corpse.
I had achieved victory.
I had avenged the past me.
The little girl named Shoko who used to fear these little shits.
Is no more.
Shoko has been reborn on this very day.
" Time to clean it up..." I said to myself.
As I began to grab the broom, I suddenly saw something fly in the corner of my eye.
" Huh....that....." I quickly turned to look at the last spot I saw it.
" N-No..." I muttered as I felt tears prickling in the corner of my eyes.
There, on the wall.
Was another cockroach..
But the big difference?
As if knowing what I was about to say, it began flapping its wings loudly and flying towards me.
" IT CAN FLYYYYYY!!!!!" I yelled and hid in the storage closets.
( 10:30 pm )
Kiyotaka POV
I managed to finish my work a bit quicker than I expected.
If I didn't, I'd probably be home around 12 am.
I was tired...
I parked my car and made sure to lock it.
I then made my way to the front door and used my keys to unlock it and walk in.
" I'm home." I said it out of habit.
Shoko is probably asleep.
I took off my shoes and then suddenly I hear a rumbling sound from the storage closet next to where I was.
" K-K-KIYOTAKA!" I hear her voice yell.
I was confused as I went to the storage closet .
I opened the closet.
" Shoko? What are you-" I was then interrupted by her sobbing.
" Y-You're h-h-home * sobs* WAHHH!! KIYOTAKA!!!! " She hugged my chest tightly.
She was currently crying into my chest.
I instinctively hugged her back, though I was confused.
" Shoko. What's wrong? " I asked her.
" Thweres a fcockproach insh the shliving room...." her voice was muffled due to her clinging onto my chest, but I managed to make out what she said instantly.
I inwardly held back a sigh.
So this is why she was crying.
Cockroaches.....again...
Shoko hated those creatures.
She told me that they weren't insects, but were instead demonic spawns created to destroy mankind.
I found it ridiculous.
But some people naturally develop a fear of such creatures.
I was not one of them.
I'm more disturbed by hairy bugs, if anything.
" In the living room, huh....." I mused.
She pulled back from my chest and looked up to me with teary grey colored eyes.
" H-Help me..." she begged.
What-
My heart just skipped a beat as I looked at her teary face.
She's so adorable...
My wife was usually indifferent, kind of bitchy, no fucks given, dumb, but that's what I love about her.
But when she acts cute like this....
God....can I really hold myself back from doting on her?
I slowly patted her head.
" I'll kill it. Don't worry." I assured her.
" T-Thank you...." she said in a low voice, quite bashful.
" H-Here...u-use this weapon.....b-by the way, i-it can fly..." she kept stuttering but I understood and accepted the slipper she handed me.
So it can fly...
No wonder she's even more scared.
Welp, time to kill that little bastard for making my wife cry.
I walked in the living room, scanning my surroundings.
Suddenly, I heard a wing flapping sound coming from the right and I quickly turned my head to see the cockroach flying towards me.
I moved back and dodged it.
Wow, why does it feel....vengeful or something?
As far as I know, cockroaches have no feelings.
The hell did Shoko do?
Ah, whatever.
It circled itself back and went flying towards me again.
But this time, I wasn't going to dodge it.
Once it entered my range...
I smacked it with the slipper in mid-air.
SMACK!
I watched as the cockroach flew back with force and splattered on the wall.
" Ew....disgusting..." I muttered as I saw its blood on the wall.
I shouldn't have applied too much force...
" K-Kiyotaka....i-i-is it dead...???" I heard Shoko ask as she peeked into the living room.
" Yeah. It's dead." I confirmed.
" A-Are t-t-there m-more?" She asked.
More?
I looked around and saw a dead cockroach corpse near the table.
Oh, that's probably the first one she saw...
Though, I was suprised that Shoko had killed it.
I checked around the room and spotted no cockroaches.
" Nope. All clear." I confirmed once again.
" K-KIYOTAKA!!!" she immediately ran and hugged my back.
" T-THANK YOU! YOU SAVED MY LIFE!" She said with nothing but sincere gratitude.
Seriously, her fear of cockroaches are ridiculous...
But damn...
My wife is cuter than usual whenever she's like this.
That's all for this non-canon oneshot peeps.
Was Shoko adorable at the end?
Did you like her gap moe?
Do want this fear to be canon to her character?
I'll work on the main story and probably publish the chappie later in the day.
Stay tuned,
SadisticPaimon, out~
Fun fact: Paimon hates cockroaches
Totally not scared :)
