Of course, he just told him he was kidding, so it's not surprising that he thought this whole thing was a lie. Not at all. But...well...no. It's not surprising that he believes all of those other times were lies too. He's a liar, and he knows the consequences that come from that. Of course Shuichi would believe all of those were lies.
But...that's a good thing, isn't it? Even if he was obviously flustered by that, meaning maybe he isn't as straight as he thought he was, or at the very least could be interested in...
No, no, stop. Stop thinking like that. It doesn't matter, he thinks you're lying Kokichi. This is definitely a good thing, even if it hurts. It's probably impossible to convince the detective that he likes him now! He'll just think he's lying every time! He can...totally move on because of that...
He stands up, smile turning sly once again. He doesn't miss a beat.]
Is that what you really think? For someone who supposedly knew I was lying, you sure weren't acting like it...I think it worked pretty well on you too, don't you?
[He doesn't miss a beat...why doesn't he miss a beat? Of course he noticed that.]
H-Hey, like I said, I almost believed you. I don't think I'd go as far as "pretty well" but I suppose it sort of worked, even on someone who knows better.
[He takes one more chance to invade his space, placing a hand on each of the detectives thighs and leaning in nice and close.]
I guess next time I'll have to try harder.
[Is he lying about there being a next time? Or about trying harder? He has a rather serious look on his face as he says that, despite the light tone to his voice...]
[Woah there. Instinctively, Shuichi leans back a little, holding Kokichi's gaze in silence for a few moments. Surely at least one of those things is a lie, despite the serious look on the leader's face.]
[Kokichi just spent a good five minutes trying to convince him to play the game with Kaede. There's no way he actually wants to do anything with him. And, again...it's Kokichi. He never means it when he says stuff like this. It's just one of Kokichi's many ways of messing with his head. He gives another awkward laugh.]
Are you trying to make up for all the lies you haven't been telling me over the past half hour or so? You know, you can space them out a little bit...
[Shuichi just sighs and shakes his head a little.]
Yeah, I know. [A Kokichi that never lies? It's just so strange to think about. Unthinkable, really.] But it's okay, I didn't expect it to last very long anyway.
[Actually, he's kind of surprised the honest train rode as far along the tracks as it did.]
[Sitting back down, he pulls his feet back up onto the couch, smile softening just a little.]
Well it wasn't so bad, I guess. Being honest with you, I mean. I like you the most out of all our friends, so lying to you is always the most fun, but...maybe being honest every once in a while wouldn't be so bad either.
[His smile broadens into a grin.]
I think you're definitely amazing enough to be the kind of person who could get me to like being honest every once in a while.
[It's sort of a round about way of telling him, "I want to be more honest with you," but...that truth is still definitely in there. Even if, technically, none of it is a lie at all. But he's sure Shuichi won't see it that way.]

Sorry, Saihara-chan~! It was just too weird being so honest, y'know?
