(desperate!AU) (your his last piece 💔)

✩ it was the killing game. shuichi had made a plan with kaede to catch the mastermind in the library with their motion detector and cameras miu had set up for them. they all thought they could escape; to finally experience the real world and live freely. they all could've escaped, saw their families and friends, lived BIG.

why didn't that happen though? everyone's here, crying. because kaede had accidentally killed ranataro with a metal punt ball—but that's what YOU didn't think. you had already knew that the mastermind killed ranataro themselves, and framed kaede for it; causing her to get killed. you look at everyone else. everyone's just crying on the floor, sobbing in their own tears - staining the floor beneath them. shuichi, of course was insanely depressed.

but you? you were his replacement for kaede. you spoke, you talked, you even sounded like HER. he wasn't gonna let you go anytime soon. he didn't want to lose you like her—you were all that was left of kaede. ✩

✩ it was the next morning, and everyone was eating in the dining hall, chatting and talking as if nothing happened. but they all had depression and anger in their hearts. they had to keep going, for kaede. ✩

just then, shuichi walked into the dining hall and sat next to you, holding your hand tightly; as if you were about to fall off your seat. you slightly gasped and blushed at his action. ✩

🧢 ; “...” — he looked at you, and smiled softly, but then he looked down at the floor, kicking his feet slowly. you could tell he was also still depressed and upset from yesterday's execution.

🧢 ; “ i don't wanna lose them. ” — shuichi's inside voice that had spoken out.

he was gonna hold onto you tightly. follow wherever you went. 〖 ✩
