~Y/n pov~

I grinned, placing a big bucket of syrup on Miu's door to her dorm room.

It was early morning and everyone was sleeping.

"Watcha doing?~"

I whipped around to see Kokichi stood there, grinning mischievously.

"You scared me." I sighed in relief.

"Yeah...so you like pranks?"

"I may of lied about being the ultimate prankster but honestly, I enjoy a good prank!" I smiled.

Kokichi smiled, "Let's do this."

I knocked on Miu's door and then turned and sprinted away.

Kokichi grabbed my arm and pulled me into his room, as we peeked out of the crack in his door.

He was so close, my cheeks turned slightly red.

His head was next to mine, but since he was a bit shorter, I could feel his purple hair tickling my neck.

Miu opened the door abruptly, "WHAT!?"

The bucket tipped and covered her in syrup.

She screamed in frustration, "I'm sticky and not the good kind!"

Miu turned and went back into her room, slamming the door behind her.

"No matter how much she showers, it'll take a while to make her hair not sticky." I smiled, "I...I know from experience."

Kokichi snickers, ruffling my hair, "Let's go! I'm super hungry."

~*~

Me and Kokichi ate breakfast, conversing and sharing stories, laughing every few minutes.

Miu walked in, slamming the door open, causing people to stare at her.

Her hair still looked sticky.

"Ugh! My hair is still fuckin' sticky!" She growled, then turned to look at everyone, "Who the fuck put that bucket of syrup above my door!"

No one said anything, I could hear Kokichi trying to hide his snickers.

I chuckled lightly, hoping she couldn't hear us laughing.

"No ones owning up, huh? I'll find ya, you bitch!"

~*~

"You seem rather panicked? Could it be about the kubs pad?" Kiyo asked Shuichi.

They were talking about some sort of pad and a motive video. I do recall seeing a weird pad, but I never checked it because I was too busy preparing my prank.

I'll just check later.

"If we watch the videos it will turn into a motive right?" Tsumugi asked.

"That's why I want to see it." Ryoma said.

"I agree, what if someone got their own motive and isn't telling anyone? If we all watch the motive videos, then we'll know what everyone's motives are, if a killing does happen we can probably guess who did it." I stated.

Kaito started complaining.

"Who cares? They were just stating their opinion." Kokichi said, "I feel the same way as them."

Keebo frowned, "Are you trying to cause trouble again?"

"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not saying we shouldn't care about killing or dying... But I think it would be better if we don't cooperate with each other." Kokichi explained.

No one said anything.

"Whenever we try to work together, Monokuma just retaliates by making us suffer."

"He's right, y'know. Even if we decide not to watch the motive. Someone might still try to watch theirs. You may trust them, but blindly trusting people is stupid." I stated.

"You are saying if we don't work together, we won't suffer?" Kirumi asked.

"Essentially, yeah." I replied.

"Let's just exchange our motive videos." Kokichi grinned, "Let's go."

The purple haired boy grabs my wrist and starts dragging me off.

"Oh Gonta, you too."

"Gonta too?!"

Gonta confusedly trails after us.

~*~

We sat outside in the grass.

"Gonta.." Kokichi started, "Tomorrow we should totally have a bug meet and greet."

"Bug meet and greet?"

"Yeah." I nodded, "Introduce everyone to your bug friends and make sure everyone comes. Me and Kokichi have something to do."

Kokichi nodded, "Me and N/n just love bugs so much, but everyone else hates them."

"They hate bugs?" Gonta asked sadly, "Well Gonta have to make them love bug friends."

Kokichi grinned, "Right?"

Gonta cheerfully walked off, going to prepare for his bug meet and greet.

When he had left, I turned to Kokichi, "You're going to make everyone watch the motive videos, right?"

"Yuppers."

"I didn't even watch mine since I was too busy with the prank."

Kokichi stopped smiling and acted serious, "Hey
Y/n?"

"Yeah?"

"I have your motive video, which means that you probably have mine." Kokichi told me.

My eyes widened, "Do you want to check?"

He nodded.

~*~

Kokichi Oma's motive video flashed across the screen.

"Alright! Back by popular demand, it's time for the motive video!"

Kokichi shuffled closer to me, resting his head against my shoulder.

We were in my room since Kokichi's was a mess. He had collected some of the junk from the first case and had lots of other random junk.

Kokichi's guess had been right, we had each others motive videos. We were watching his first.

"Who's the most important person in your life? And now, without further ado..."

Kokichi's breath hitched.

"Kokichi Oma, the ultimate supreme leader... He caused mayhem the world over as the leader of the secret organisation D.I.C.E."

The short boy clung tightly onto my arm.

"And by 'mayhem', I mean petty nonviolent pranks and harmless crimes... Anyway, Kokichi had ten loyal goons working for him. These goons were like friends and family...the most important people in his life..."

The scene changed and showed them all beaten up in jail.

Kokichi started shaking.

"But then, a terrible event befell those precious people...What kind of event? It's a secret puhuhuhu~ Find out for yourself when you graduate."

Then the device turned off. I placed it down on the table.

"This is so messed up." I muttered, looking down at Kokichi.

He was trembling and shaking, silent tears falling down his face.

My eyes widened in shock.

I pulled the shaking boy towards me and pulled him into a hug, he buried his face in my chest and sobbed silently.

I ran my hand through his hair gently, trying to soothe him.

It took a while, but he eventually calmed down.

"Why?" Kokichi asked, his voice hoarse.

"Y'know, I have no idea who could be on my motive video...my parents are dead and I didn't really have friends. Hope's peak was meant to be my new start. But I don't remember even going to Hope's peak, I just woke up here."

Kokichi sniffled a bit, "I didn't watch your video if that's what you're wondering. Do you want to watch it?"

I smiled sadly, "Sure, though I'm not expecting anything."

The words Y/n L/n's motive video flashed on the screen.

"Alright, back by popular demand, it's time for the motive video!"

Kokichi was still curled up, practically sitting on my lap.

I would probably be blushing if it wasn't for this messed up situation.

"Who's the most important person in your life? And now, without further ado..."

The video started.

"Unfortunately, there is no one in the world who is important to you."

I stared at the screen blankly, even after it had turned off.

"I'm sorry." Kokichi sighed.

"Ah, no it's not your fault...I didn't really- I wasn't close to anyone. I just got on with my life." I smiled, "But it's fine because now, I do have someone who's important to me..."

Kokichi looked up at me with his big, glassy eyes, "Who?"

"You..." I grinned, "You're really important to me."

Kokichi stared at me blankly for a few seconds before more tears slipped down his cheeks, "Thank you...so much!"

We spent the rest of the day just talking and messing around, trying to get our minds off the motive video, and tomorrow, we would be watching everyone else's motive videos.

Or so I thought...
