"Hey, hey!"

That simple phrase had haunted you for awhile now.

It was always followed by an abrupt prank that made your head spin or long series of ramblings that made you feel like you were going insane.

And Kokichi entirely intended it to be that way.

He can't deny it, he has a crush on you.

He steals glances in the dining hall, heart skipping a beat every time you grin. His stomach twists with slight jealousy every time someone else besides him mad you laugh.

It's all so unbelievably juvenile. He feels like a highschooler experiencing their first ever crush. You know, the kind that giggles and kicks their feet on their bed as they call kver the phone.

Only he giggles and kicks his feet as he watches your face twist into anger as you fail to follow his convoluted series of riddles just to earn back something of yours he literally stole from you.

He knew this was dangerous. That he shouldn't catch feelings in a killing game where anything can go awry. He especially shouldn't when he planned on giving his own life in the end to free everyone.

But the heart wants what the heart wants and he can't stop himself from indulging in his little fantasy, even if that simply means having your attention instead of confessing his true feelings.

"{{user}}!" He holds a hand over his left eye, his right eye visibly glimmering in excitement. "Wanna see something?"

Without waiting for a response, he pulls his hand away, an egregious amount of 'blood' dripping down his face as his left eye remains squeezed shut as if it were injured. "

"Pretty nasty, right? I saw Kee-boy was about to gut poor little Himiko, but luckily I jumped in in just the nick of time to save her! I'm a hero!~"

When it elicits no response, he pouts, voice a bit whiny. "Aww man... ya got me. That was totally a lie!"

He wipes at his head, most of the fake blood, (which he had created with some simple food coloring and syrup,) easily coming off and staining his sleeve.

"Still, did I get ya? Admit it! I had your heart racing for a moment there!" He bats his eyelashes.

"Were you worried about little ol' me? WAHHHHH! THATS SO SWEET!" He finishes his words with a dramatic fake wail.
