~(Ouma x Saihara) You Promised~

Kindergarten, 19th of June

The kindergarten playground was filled with joy and happiness. Some kids were digging in the sandbox. Some kids were on the swings. Some kids were on the slide and some just talked.

Ouma and Shuichi were playing tag, with Kokichi being the chaser. They were best friends, despite their different natures. Soon he caught up and tripped, accidentally tacklingShuichi to the ground. He blushed for a second before giggling.

"Got you Shuichi~!" he said sweetly before getting off him and sitting down on the grass. Saihara chuckled and did the same. They stared at each other before laughing. "I always have fun with you Shuichi! It's hard for me to get bored around you!" he said grinning to which Saihara gave a small smile.

"Is that a lie?" Saihara said to which Ouma rolled his eyes "Jeez Shuichi... you're the detective here. And besides, you already know the answer, don't you?" Shuichi nodded.

"Hey, Shuichi?" Ouma said to which Shuichi gave a sign he was listening. "Can you... promise me something?" he said as he blushed, twiddling his thumbs. "I can't promise until you say it. " he replied, curious as to what Ouma was getting at.

"Promise me...promise me you'll never abandon me...like...like the other people in my life did. " he said shyly. Shuichi's eyes widened. He hasn't seen this side of Ouma much. The part where he let his emotions spill from underneath his mask. 

"I promise."

High school, 12th of December

Ouma and Shuichi remained friends from kindergarten. They were currently on the couch in Shuichi's house, watching some movie on Netflix while eating chips. They spent their evening together, doing lots of interesting things. Ouma didn't know why Shuichi spent the day with him, doing things Ouma loved most in the world. It was unusual. 

"Hey, Ouma?" Shuichi asked quietly to which Ouma stopped stuffing his mouth with his favorite chip flavor. 

"What is it Shumai?" he said cheekily, knowing that Shuichi didn't like that nickname. Shuichi shook off the slight annoyance in his mind. "I... I wanted to tell you something. Something very important I need to get off my chest." Shuichi sighed

"Is that why you brought me to my favorite places in the world?" Ouma asked cutely. "Y-Yes actually..." Shuichi stated stressed, Ouma giving him a confused look. "It's just... Ouma you've been my best friend for years. And, I really care about you but... lately I've been feeling different. Your smile, your voice, your lies, YOU. I get all these warm feelings and get really nervous. I blush, I stutter. And just a couple days ago I realized...I love you." he said nervously.

Ouma's eyes widened and started to glow. He immediately yanked Shuichi down to kiss him. "I love you too, my beloved~!" he said gently to which Shuichi blushed but grinned. 

And from that day on, Ouma and Shuichi were a couple.

High school, 1st of March

Ouma and Shuichi through a mall. As they walked Ouma suddenly stopped and looked at one of the displays. 

"Is something wrong Ouma?" Shuichi asked looking back. Ouma just turned to him, smiled and nodded. And they once again continued through the mall.

Next Day...

Ouma returned to his and Shuichi's house, a little white bag in his hand. He quickly moved around the house, searching for Shuichi. 

"Shuichi!" he chirped when he finally found Shuichi in their room, by the desk. Shuichi turned away from whatever paperwork he was doing and looked at Ouma.

 "Hey, Ouma. What's that bag you're holding?" he asked curiously. Ouma grinned as he pulled out a small box "W-Well...Shuichi we've been together for a couple of months, and I ...I just felt the need to give you this!" he said shyly. Shuichi smiled. Seeing Ouma's true emotions was always a pleasant sight. He opened the box and gasped

A small silver ring with one blue topaz and little sapphires "Relax. It's just a promise ring. But in the future maybe?" he said kissing Shuichi on the cheek and then putting a ring on his finger. Shuichi smiled "I'd love too". they hugged.

It felt as if it was forever.

Adulthood, 19th of June  

Shuichi and Ouma were hanging out with their friends, Kaito and Rantaro. Kokichi was walking energetically, not bothering about anything in his way. They were all about to head to see Kaede's piano concert when suddenly, while crossing the street...

"OUMA LOOK!

BAM!

It was as if the world slowed down. Everything looked blurry except for a couple of things.

Blood.

A car.

Ouma.

And Shuichi pushing him out of the way, taking the hit.

Ouma's mind wasn't fully processing what just happened. Rantaro and Kaito stared there terrified. "That bastard already sped off!" Kaito yelled quickly to which Rantaro yelled back "I called the ambulance, they should be here any min-" They then looked at Ouma. He was sitting there, on the concrete road holding Shuichi in his hands tightly. Shuichi's blood slowly made it's way into his hands, soaking the sleeves of his white outfit. 

"D-Don't worry Shuichi! I'm here..." Ouma stared, his eyes wide and full of shock. He didn't want to accept this. "You'll be alright! Everything will be okay!" He said his breath hitched and eyes almost crazy.

"Come on! Show me you're still here! Come on..." Ouma said gently. He saw Saihara's eyes look at him and slowly close. Ouma's hopeful smile shifted into an expression of utter despair, grin turning into a frown. His eyes welled up with tears. Tears that flowed down like waterfalls.

"PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP ON ME NOW!!! OPEN YOUR EYES, SHUICHI!!"

Adulthood, 20th of April   

Ouma stood in front of Shuichi's tomb with the two of his friends, Rantaro and Kaito. After the accident, they decided to take care of the depressed leader for a little while, checking up on him daily to see if he was fine. He was grieving hard.

"Ouma, it's not your fau-" "Yes, yes it is. Everyone was right " Ouma said dully, cutting of Rantaro and blankly staring at the grave.

"I don't deserve to loved or even liked. Every time I got attached to someone, they'd always leave. Just like my mom, like my dad, like my friends and now, if I didn't make Shuichi love me, he'd be aliv-... he'd be alive too." Ouma said, his eyes watering.

"Hey bud, we're still here!" Kaito said to which Ouma replied "You're doing this out of pity. And you weren't my friends, to begin with, I met you because of Shuichi. And that is the only reason you'd ever want to talk to me.". Silence followed. Nobody could bring themselves to say anything else.

Adulthood, 19th of June, Present

Ouma sat alone in his room. He was looking at a photo he and Saihara took way back in kindergarten. They were smiling. Ouma felt tears stroll down from his eyes. 

"You promised not to leave me... and because of that you died. " he said, gripping tighter onto the picture, wrinkling it.

"I'm s-so s-sorry for making you love me"
