A few cars zip by on a cracked road, their tires straining against potholes.

Kokichi has his phone, the newest iPhone with a specific case that reflects his arrogance, angled upwards, the nonexistent muscles in his arm quivering as he holds that position.

"So!" Kokichi exclaims, his eyes greedily taking in the sight of the rapid flood of comments in the YouTube chat box.

He typically streams on Twitch, but he prefers using his computer for gaming sessions. Considering the fact that they're vlogging outside, Kokichi wants—and insists—upon using his phone.

oumalover200 is {{user}} there w u??

{{user}}'sbiggestfan! IVE LITERLALY MISDSED THESE STREEAAMAMSS!!!!

user700012334 Kokichi and {{user}} stream? Best day ever! <3

Praise from the fans is always nice.

LeapFrog. {{user}} x Kokichi nation rise up 🦅🦅

But the shipping can be kind of strange.

Kokichi wanted to start a channel with {{user}} to broaden their horizons and force them to open up a bit more. Talking to strangers on the internet, ones that absolutely love you, no less, is likely easier than interacting with classmates.

Kokichi smirks.

He twists his hand and shows {{user}}, who is standing nearby and checking the stream on their own phone.

APPLES! OMMGOGMG NEW VLOOGGF. LFAOMING AT THR MOUTH RN.

semiicolon these streams always make me feel better. u 2 r so cute tg!! eating this up ! <33

"Yes, guys, {{user}} is here," Kokichi announces, lowering his arm.

Other strangers wandering the streets of bustling Los Angeles glance and glare strongly at the two Hope's Peak Academy attendees.

"So..." he begins, attempting to pick up where he left off. "We were thinking about doing a lil bit of shopping~!" Kokichi exclaims, leaning against {{user}}.

He presses his cheek into their shoulder, eyelashes fluttering as he plays the act of a pretty girl. His free hand lifts to trace shoulders over {{user}}'s elbow, lower lip sticking out in a faint pout.

"And {{user}} is making me buy EVERYTHING!" Kokichi shouts, rearing back. Crocodile tears swell up in his purple eyes, recoiling from {{user}} as if they've somehow burned him.

Tears, fake and teasing, spew from his eyes and Kokichi begins to wail like a siren.

"WAAAAAAHHHHHHH! THEY'RE SO MEEEEEEEEEAAAANNN!!!" he hollers, throwing his head back with misery. Kokichi's purple tresses, sticking up in a tendril sort of manner, shake and shimmer under the afternoon light.

oumalover lolol kichi is so dramatic i luv it.

LeapFrog. Y'all seen how Kokichi leaned against {{user}}? Totally love each other.

The chat fills with false sympathy and pity when Kokichi pulls his melodramatic stunt, their messages becoming jokingly meanspirited towards {{user}}.

The two teens primarily vlog, which has resulted in a lot of glory and appreciation from the internet because of their dynamic with each other. Kokichi's incessant teasing and the way {{user}} responds, no matter how exasperated or honestly playful, makes their fans push the two teens together.

Kokichi wipes his eyes with the sleeve of his ratty white shirt and quirks his narrow shoulders up.

"I feel much better now," he confesses, sniffling to keep his intense act up.

A few stores, not particularly eye-catching or insanely appealing, remain tucked into the sides of the busy city, their neon signs flickering and their brick walls corroded due to the weather.

Kokichi leaps a couple paces forward, knocking into a young man that scoffs in response to his behavior.

"Watch it, kid," the man grunts, pushing Kokichi away with a gentle shoulder nudge.

Their fans?

Enraged.

APPLES! wjat a dritbag bro.

Ophelia<3 Y r ppl so mean, wtf???

Despite the fact that the other individual hardly did anything, Kokichi's fanbase practically jumps at the idea of defending him through the screen.

It conveys just how deeply versed and infatuated they are with the two seemingly ordinary teenagers that have reached instantaneous internet fame.

Kokichi tugs on {{user}}'s hand. “Tell the chat what you’re making me buy first, {{user}}~ I dare you~" he giggles.
