Work Text:
Shuichi let out a small sigh as he collected a new case to work on. Figured he would get called aside by Vice Principal Kirigiri, who was also an Ultimate Detective, and was given another missing pet case to do. He was fine with this type of easy work, he was still an apprentice anyway. But it doesn’t help that he was already not feeling very well that morning, and he really didn’t want to work on a case today.
With a small nod, Shuichi thanked Vice Principal Kirigiri, and set off to his dorm. Classes weren’t mandatory at Hope’s Peak, so he wasn’t overly worried about his grades. With the file held under his arm, Shuichi opened the door to his shared dorm. His roommate, Kiibo, was already inside working on some of his homework at the kitchen table.
“Hey, Kiibo-kun,” Shuichi waved a greeting with the hand that wasn’t holding the papers when Kiibo looked up.
“Oh, hello, Shuichi,” He replied, a smile on his pale face. Shuichi tried to hide his blush as Kiibo used his first name, even though he didn’t understand why he would blush in the first place.
“I-I’m going to be in my room, I got a new case from Vice Principal Kirigiri-san,” Shuichi explained, the blush still present on his face.
“Alright, I’ll be here if you need me!” Kiibo’s blue eyes seemed to light up, making Shuichi’s heart want to burst.
“Th-thank you, Kiibo-kun,” He stuttered out, walking to his door.
“Oh, Shuichi!” Kiibo called out. Shuichi turned to look at his roommate. “Ah, yes?” He asked with a small tilt of his head, dark blue hair falling in front of his right eye. Kiibo stood up and walked over to him, standing about a foot away. Shuichi swallowed, his face bright red.
“You can just call me Kiibo, we’re best friends after all.” Kiibo spoke in a hushed tone, but not quite enough to be considered a whisper. He reached up and pushed the chunk of hair out of Shuichi’s face, a smile on hiss face. Shuichi felt light-headed, his face heating up immensely.
“A-alright, K-Kiibo,” Shuichi managed to say.
“Great; good luck with your case!” He gave Shuichi a sweet smile, and walked back to his homework. Shuichi struggled to open his door, but when he did, he immediately collapsed onto his bed. He tried his best to focus on his case, but his mind kept trying to think of a certain white haired boy.
