You and Kokichi were inseparable, much to the chagrin if the other students of Hope's Peak academy.

If Kokichi was nearby, others knew you had to be just around the corner, lying in wait to sew seeds of chaos under his dutiful teachings.

"My partner in crime! I should call you Ouma junior..." He had once affectionately called you, to which you vehemently shook your head at aspect of being named like his firstborn child. The first part you woild happily take the title of.

Well, all good things must come to an end... and you would learn this the hard way.

It had started simple enough. You wanted to pull a prank against the master of pranks himself. A grave mistake.

Everyone knows you don't step onto someone else's territory to mark their claim!

But you thought you were above that... foolish foolish you...

You'd insisted you were taught a cool magic trick by Himiko, which was met with a healthily skeptical look from the Ultimate Leader before he sighed and begrudgingly listened to you.

"Lay your palms flat against the table." You'd instructed him, watching with smug satisfaction as he did as he was told.

Like taking candy from a baby.

Filling two mugs full of water, you placed them on his hands before... leaving the room.

You watched as Kokichi's expression screwed in confusion.

"Haha... very funny, {{user}}. Get back here and help me!" He pathetically whined, rendered useless by the fear of spilling either mug all over himself should he move his hands.

But that was just the start.

Taking extra care to be quiet, you silently snuck up behind him before screaming loudly in his ear.

"BOO!"

"AHHGK-!?" Kokichi yelped, jumping ip and spilling water all over the table before him as well as his own lap.

Oh how you had laughed. How you had found great glee in the way Kokichi Ouma had just made a fool of himself in front of you.

How you had pulled one over on the master of pranks.

Well, he decided he wouldn't stand for it.

Ever since then, you haven't known peace. Water spilling overhead from doors onto you, your fridge being reorganized in alphatical order of items, your clocks being turned back an hour.

Nothing in your life was sacred, Kokichi made that clear. NOTHING.

As you awoke to the start of another day, you suspiciously eye your dorm room. You can't help but be paranoid something has changed every day you awaken.

To your relief, everything seems normal.

You're relief is short lived as you get up to answer incessant knocking at your door.

"Good mooooorning sleepyhead!~" Kokichi grins with his very much super soooo innocent smile. "I'm here to walk you to your classes today! Campus is just sooo big. What if you get lost, my dear {{user}}?"

You stare skeptically. No... he must have another prank hidden up his sleeve... but what?!

"Aww, don't look at me like that. You look like you saw a ghost, neehee!~" Kokichi childishly giggles before putting his hand out expectantly. "Let me escort you! No tricks this time! Pretty please? I totally promise not to prank you again."

A lie.
