"Shuichi~ Remember your promise~" Kokichi cooed as he looked up at Shuichi who was a little tired from the ride back. Shuichi sighed and tried to keep his eyes open. "I...Remember," He said, closing the door behind him.

Kokichi smiled and held onto his hand before dragging him to the bedroom. Shuichi slowly moved with him after shutting and locking the door behind them. Kokichi seemed more full of energy because of this. Shuichi blushed a bit at how eager he seemed about something Shuichi saw as just a normal thing they would do.

Granted, Shuichi has had to do late night shifts for the past couple of days...so Kokichi has had to go to bed alone for the past few days and that may have ended up causing him to act out at the party. Shuichi felt bad for having to take more shifts...but he needed the extra money for what he wanted to get Kokichi for Christmas.

Shuichi slowly moved into the room and Kokichi let go of his hand so he could change into his pajamas. Shuichi moved slowly as he changed into his own. He took off the suit and hung it in the closet before taking off his undershirt and pulling on his pajama shirt. He put his pants on before he felt familiar arms wrap around his waist.

"Kokichi?" He asked turning around to see him holding his body against him. He smiled a bit as Kokichi just moved his head against his chest. He smiled down at him and blushed at the feeling of his breath against his hair. "You feeling tired?" He asked, noticing how his shoulders were a little droopy.

"I'm not tired..." He said with a small laugh before his eyes fluttered closed again before he shook his head a bit. "Here, we can cuddle tonight until you fall asleep...and then we can cuddle tomorrow okay?" He said softly into his ear. Kokichi smiled a bit and nodded against his chest. Shuichi took this as his answer and he slowly picked him up and moved him to bed.

Kokichi just leaned against him and sighed a bit before his eyes became heavy. Shuichi placed him on the bed before moving in next to him and wrapping his arms around his torso. He moved the blankets on top of the both of them. Kokichi nuzzled into his chest as the softness of the sheets came around him. He wanted to stay up with Shuichi, but he unfairly started moving his hands up and down his back as he softly said sweet nothings to him.

I love you

You are okay now
I'm here for you
You are my one and only
Me and you are here

And I wouldn't want it any other way

This was all Kokichi heard before he was out. Shuichi smiled a bit and let sleep take over him moments later.

The night was fairly chilly and Kokichi knew that when he was asleep and when he was cold he was more prone to having night terrors. He quickly started shaking in his sleep as the same nightmare he has been having for weeks came back to him.

Shuichi was with him in their house and they were in the dining room. Only this Shuichi wasn't like Shuichi at all.

"Kokichi!" He yelled putting his hand on the table. "W-what?" He asked, finding the mood odd. He wasn't able to see it was a dream until he heard Shuichi say.

"I never loved you! Why would you even think that!" He yelled, making Kokichi tear up even though he knew it wasn't real. 'Why does this hurt my heart so much? What if Shuichi is too good to be true?" He asked himself in his head before he felt Shuichi punch his cheek.

"Is it because you think you're better than me? That I should worship the ground you walk on?" Shuichi yelled, making Kokichi stumble back. 'I need to wake myself up' He thought...but it felt so real he was unable to.

"No it's not that-" He said only to be cut off by Shuichi pushing him into the table. Kokichi gasped as he moved his hands to his back. "Shuichi-" He said before Shuichi put his hand over his mouth.

"Don't say anything, I'm done." He said before he let his hand fall as he walked away. He walked out the door as Kokichi just watched him with tears in his eyes.

"Shuichi!" he screamed as he sat up in bed. Shuichi noticed this and moved his body up so he could pull Kokichi into his lap. "Koki," He whispered into his ear as his hand ran through his hair.

"Shuichi," He said, feeling tears come to his eyes. "Baby, it's okay," He paused and kissed his forehead. "I'm right here, what happened love?" He asked gently, moving his hand to rub his back. Kokichi shook in his hold and moved his face into his shoulder as he cried harder.

"It...was that dream again," He sighed before Shuichi moved to kiss his cheeks. "I'm here for you, and know that I want to be like this with you okay? I love you more than words can describe" He said kissing his tears away.

Kokichi smiled a bit and moved back into his arms. "How do you always know how to say the right thing?" He asked with a smile. Shuichi moved his hands to hold his cheeks as his head moved back onto the pillow. They faced each other on the pillow they shared. "I just say what comes from my heart" He said, kissing his forehead.

"So romantic~" He teased as he moved his arm to Shuichi's side. "Know that I do it all because I love you," Shuichi said with a smile moving his hands to the small of Kokichi's back. Kokichi smiled and moved his head into the crook of his neck.

"I love you"

All the words I had to say to know
What it means to me
What it means to you
The one simple phrase

I love you

Know how much you mean to me

By the words I say

And from my heart as I say to you

I love you
