Saihara x Kaede

A/N
Lol no writers block. Today was kind of bleh so I need to write.

*Kaede's POV*
I couldn't believe that I had just stood in front of one of the most innocent cinnamon rolls ever (if not the most innocent), half naked. I flopped on my bed, despite being wet still, and repeatedly hit my head on the pillow for a full 5 minutes, until I realised that Saihara was probably still waiting for me. I got dressed hurriedly, not wanting to make him wait, and then slowly shuffled out of the door, with my red face looking at my feet. He was indeed waiting outside the door, sitting by a nearby wall. He heard the door open and stood up quickly, blushing and avoiding eye contact. I don't blame him. I was doing the same. "U-Um. Sh-Shall we go then...?" He mumbled. "Mmm..." I hummed a non-committal noise and walked next to him in silence.

*Saihara's POV*
It was so awkward. Personally, I feel that recovering from an embarrassing moment is worse than the moment itself, which was why I was dreading the moment that she walked out of that dorm room door that had a pixelated version of her face on it. When we got to the cafeteria, the embarrassment subsided because we engaged in conversation with everyone else. Except each other. "Soooo, how come Saihara and Akamatsu were later than usual today?~" Angie asked loudly (damn it, Angie). Everyone fell silent and stared at us with curious eyes. I looked down into my lap to avoid the gazes of everyone else. "No reason." Kaede said with a slightly angry tone through gritted teeth, which scared me because it made me think she was mad with me. Tears begun to make my eyes prickle from that thought. I stood up, took my empty plate into the kitchen and began washing it. I kept my head bent over the sink when Amami walked in grab some butter(brand: Mondo Butter. I'm sorry). Once I had finished, I walked back to my room quickly. The tears were becoming bigger and it was hard to stop them from falling. As I flung my dorm room door open, the tears finally spilled from my eyes. When I shut the door, I collapsed onto the floor and a loud sob erupted from my oesophagus. Tears slid steadily down my face like a waterfall, and sobs would frequently rise out of my throat, making their loud escape. I was curled up in a ball of despair and tears on the ground. I must have looked a mess. If you are wondering why I cried so hard; it was because the thought of Kaede being mad with me... it broke my heart. It shattered it into a million pieces. I resented that feeling.
About two hours later, I was still curled up in a ball, I had stopped crying a while ago but I was still lying there. Ding Dong!
I heard the doorbell ring, which made me panic because I probably looked a mess. I leaped up and dashed into the bathroom to wash my face and hope that my eyes were no longer red. Once I looked as normal as I could, I opened the door. It was Kaede, she looked kind of annoyed. "Geez! Open the door faster next time! I was getting really worried!" She said in a playfully annoyed tone, which sounded quite forced. "Ah...sorry...I was just...in the bathroom." I mumbled. I pulled my hat over my eyes because they were still bright red. But I was too late, she had already noticed me do that. She pulled my hat off my head, my ahoge making its appearance, and peered at my eyes. "Shuichi...you've been...crying..." she whispered. My eyes filled up again as I looked down, my vision blurring. "I'm sorry." I mumbled. Then I collapsed again. It was so sudden that even Kaede couldn't catch me. My breathing became shallow and irregular. "Shuichi!" She cried. Tears falling quickly down my face. Loud sobs were once again erupting from my throat. Kaede lifted me up by my forearms as I started to black out. I was still conscious but also not conscious at the same time. This sometimes happened when I had a breakdown.

When I regained consciousness, I was sitting in a chair, tears falling down my face. Cries escaping from my throat. My hands in my lap. Kaede was crouched down in front of me, holding my hands and looking up at me with her big, purple eyes. I tried to control my breathing and when I couldn't, she placed a hand on my chest, where my heart was. All this time, she never broke eye contact with me once. "K-Kaede..." I struggled to say."A-Are...you mad...with m-me...?" She gasped lightly and reached up to hug me tightly. "Shuichi Saihara." She whispered into my ear. "Never. Never think that I was mad with you. I...I love you so much. And I could never be mad at someone as sweet as you." Those words caused me to close my eyes and pull her in closer and tighter. So close that she was more or less sitting on my lap. "K-Kaede..." I whispered, my voice snapping like a twig. I had already known this but. Now I knew...that Kaede was the one I wanted to stay in my life forever.

W O A H that last line was cringey help XD idk I feel like some people might think that I'm using the same scenario again and again (something happens, someone cries, someone helps, sweet moment, alls good). Someone give me ideas for a new scenario cuz I'm starting to run out of them. (I was thinking maybe one of them try to commit suicide because of the killing game but the other one stops them but the problem is that I haven't mentioned the killing game at all and I haven't made anyone die cuz I KNOW I will forget about it and make that dead person appear later lol)
