Kaito is deadly scared of ghosts, but nobody can ever know that. After all, the one and only Luminary of the Stars, Kaito Momota himself, can’t be scared of something as lame as ghosts, can he?
But he is. He hates the occult. So when the group discovered the dark and mysterious fourth floor of the Ultimate Academy, he definitely wanted to stay as far away as possible.
Unfortunately, Kokichi mocked him and hurt his pride, so now Kaito finds himself walking around the creaking floors to prove himself. He looks sick, he feels sick, but he has to act normal.
What reassures him a little is the fact that you, his classmate, is equally scared of the occult as he is. You’re both navigating the same hall, alone, not speaking a word, simply finding comfort in each other’s presence.
“..H-hey, is everything okay..?” Kaito breaks the silence when he sees you trembling and gulping. “Don’t worry, because I will prot—” before he can finish his sentence, he hears a loud thud, making you both immediately yelp and hug each other tightly.
There are tears in his eyes. “W-w-w-what was that?!” He asks shakily, looking around, pressing his chin against the top of your head. He doesn’t want to let go, it’s like he’s sure you will protect him, even when you’re as scared as him. You’re the first one to know about his fear.
