Mmm...not right this second. There's still something I need to go look into, and you... [He gives him a slightly apologetic look.] there's another potentially gross conversation you need to have today.
[You know the one. Though, surely, it can't be as gross as this one was. He's pretty sure he and Kaede are on two different friendship levels as far as Kokichi is concerned. Either way, better to get all t he gross out of the way first, right?]
Ah...do I have to? Won't it be awkward though? I mean...she's your girlfriend, I'm more into guys, I promised I would avoid topics like this with her...
[Yeah, it's obvious he knows he needs to talk to her, but he really doesn't want to...]
Yes, you have to. [Point blank.] It's because it's uncomfortable that you have to. You can't both just apologize to me and then not say anything to each other. If you do that, things will just stay awkward and uncomfortable.
You both need to address it and move on, however many or few words it takes for you to accomplish that. [See, it doesn't have to be some big long, drawn-out, overly emotional thing.]
Plus...do you really think Akamatsu-san can just pretend nothing happened and act like everything is still the same?
[She's terrible at lying, Kokichi. You know this. Terrible at it and hates doing it. A bad combination. And pretending like this never happened is pretty much a lie, isn't it?]
[He sighs, arms crossing over his chest a little.]
Fine...but if I don't like how it goes, then you owe me.
[It's not just the potential of it becoming some long, drawn-out, overly emotional thing. They always tend to argue when they talk...and he's just too tired for that. But he knows Shuichi really won't let him get out of it, and he knows that he really does have to, so...
He pushes himself up off the couch with some effort, stretching his arms over his head.]
I'm gonna go clean up a little first though.
[Brush his hair and teeth, put on concealer...you know. The fun daily ritual stuff.]
I'll get you two sodas and you can snap me with your towel as many times as you want.
[Okay, well...maybe not those things exactly. He's kind of joking and just playing off of Kokichi's earlier requests. But he's NOT joking about owing him, at least.]
[Shuichi gets to his feet as well, watching Kokichi carefully in case he looks like he's about to fall or something. He can probably catch him? Sort of? Maybe? Okay, no, he's fine. Nothing to worry about.]
[Well, nothing aside from his sleep deprivation in general, anyway. Nothing on TOP of that, at least.]
Good idea. Come to my room once you've done that, okay?
Nishishi~ [Whether he accepts those offers or not, it's clearly cheered him up a little. Maybe that's what he'll have to do! Maybe he'll have to snap you with his towel all day long, huh?
But ah...his room, huh? He wonders if they're just meeting there, or if Kaede is there now. She probably went over there to apologize, and then probably hung back while Shuichi went out...after their talks, those kinds of thoughts just makes his chest ache even worse than before, but he turns his back on the detective and heads towards his bathroom to hide that fact.]
Okay~ I'll try not to keep you waiting too long, but no promises. Doing my hair always takes a bit~

Somehow...that doesn't surprisse me. [Or maybe it's a lie. Who knows.] See you in a bit then.
[And with that, he's gone. Take your time, Kokichi. He still has to actually...go. Wake. Kaede up... She kind of fell back asleep after he left...]
