-blood and gore warning!!-

Kokichi's POV
Why did this have to happen? Kaito was the first one to go rogue... Shuichi is absolutely heartbroken. And has been... ever since that day.

"Shumai! Are you coming we are going to be late!!" I yelled down the hall.

"I'm coming! I'm coming!!" He yelled. Soon after he walked out of the room and met me in the hall.

"Took you long enough!" I teased booping his nose. He flushed making me smile as I took his hand in mine.

"This is not a warning．stay inside your homes!! A virus that scientists have been trying to contain broke out and is passed on by biting or any part of the infected entering the eyes and mouth!! Please stay safe-" The news on the TV yelled interrupting them. Static made the report cut short.

"What's going on?" Shuichi asked walking over to the window. I moved my arms around his arm hugging him tightly.

"I don't know..." I said gasping when we looked out the window. People were running and screaming from others who were bleeding out of their eyes and mouths. That must be the virus. Shuichi froze. I looked up at him and saw his face pale.

"Shu.," I asked only to be cut off by him grabbing my hand and pulling me upstairs.

"Stay in here!!" He yelled closing the door before leaving. I felt my eyes get teary. What if he gets hurt? What is happening? We were supposed to go out today... why? Why is this happening to us?

I wanted for maybe 3 hours before I heard the door creak open. I gasped scared before seeing my beloved opening the door. I rushed over and hugged him. He put his finger to my lips signaling that I needed to stay quiet. I nodded. He pulled me over to the corner of the room and held me in his lap petting my hair. I could hear the screams outside. I felt myself start to shake. What are we going to do?

After 5 hours of waiting in that position, we heard someone yelling at the door. I looked back at Shuichi and he shook his head. I let myself fall into his embrace trying to calm myself down. This is going to be ok. Shuichi is safe. We are still together. I let my eyes close before I heard the window shatter.

What the-

"Shuichi!!" I heard Kaito yell before he fell onto the ground. Eyes and mouth spouting out blood. He slowly crawled toward us. "Shuichi you need to help me!! SHUICHI!!" Shuichi gasped and already had tears coming out of his eyes. He was already infected... there is nothing I can do for him...

I slowly pulled out the gun we kept in the closet just in case. Raising it so Kaito's head was in range. I took in a shaky breath before pulling the trigger.

Bang

This was the start of something that would never end. I never wanted this to happen. I wish it never started...

Shuichi just sat there looking at the dead corpse on the floor that used to be Kaito. They were good friends and he was someone that I wasn't fond of... but he made Shuichi happy so I tolerated him.

I rushed over to him and held his head into my chest. "It's going to be ok." I paused and moved my hands to comb my fingers through his hair. "You're ok... I'm ok... I love you so much..." I said holding him in my arms.

After that, we boarded up our house. Windows and doors were covered in wood planks that were nailed to the wall. Shuichi would cry himself to sleep every night if I wasn't there holding him. I don't know what to do. I know I have to stay strong for Shuichi. I love him and will stay by his side.

"Kokichi, we are running out of water..." Shuichi said looking like hell. I wish he could get more sleep... I do understand how hard it is to sleep when someone you care about died in front of you...

"I know... we should probably go out tomorrow..." I said putting a hand to my forehead to try and suppress the headache I felt. Shuichi wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder.

"Kokichi, I'm sorry about all of this." He whispered into my ear. I turned around and held him in my arms. I moved my arms to his torso and slowly rubbed at the tense muscles there.

"It's not your fault... we could have never repaired for this," I said leaning my forehead against his shoulder.

"Well, I just... hate how things are now..." He said with a hiccup. I rubbed his back.

"I know sweetheart... I know." I felt my eyes get watery. I wish we could just laugh while we were walking to the store. I want to just be able to hang out with our friends. I wish that it was back to the way it was before.

"Kokichi, I love you," Shuichi whispered. I could tell by his voice he was tired. I pulled back and grabbed his hand. Pulling him to a chair. I pulled a chair in front of him and watched him rest his head back into the chair.

"Sorry I'm just so tired..." he said letting his eyes slip closed. I know more than anything Shuichi isn't good at sleeping for long periods of time. He basically runs on naps. It's actually unbearably cute.

"It's ok Shu. I'm going to clean up a bit ok..." I whispered hearing him say a quiet ok before he fell asleep. I got out of the chair and walked over to organize the food we had left. We could probably make it about 2 more weeks without food... but only a couple days with our water... After Shuichi wakes up I'm going to go get some water.

I looked over to the gun and knife on the table. I walked over and put them in my tool belt around my pants. Walking over to the living room I stared at the door. If anyone tried to come in and hurt Shuichi again... I will end you...
