The room was filled with light sun rays peaking out of the blinds as a beeping sound, sourced from an alarm.

Thoughts not of his own flood his brain as he wakes up from his not-so peaceful sleeping.

The physic rubbed his eyes while reaching for his bright green glasses that protects others from his gaze.

He taps on his alarm clock, stopping the annoying noise.

Saiki gets ready for normally, “Good morning, Ku!” Saiki’s mom greeted him pleasantly, “Here’s your favourite!”

She placed the pink haired boy’s favourite dessert onto the table.

Kusuo finally sits down and is about to put the spoonful of the treat until he faces his first annoyance of the day, “KUSUO!”a man with unkept hair scurries to the kitchen, tie messily done, shirt untucked, outfit wrinkled.

That man being Kusuo’s disorganized father, Saiki Kuniharu.

“Kusuo! Teleport me to work now! I’m late!” The scrambling man tries explains.

“You forgot to zip up your pan-“ Kusuo telepathically tells him as he gives him a look.

“Whatever, just teleport me to work! I slept past my timer! C’mon give your old pops a itty bitty little favour!” His father basically pleaded as he actively grovelled on the ground.

“It’s your fault for being late. Besides I have school.” The esp stated his reasonable reasons for not obeying his dad’s plea.

“Look, I’ll buy you coffee jelly! As much as you want! Just please do this for me! Just this once?” A hope of glimmer beamed in his eyes as he desperately looked at Kusuo.

“Look if you think coffee jelly is going to convince me,” suddenly, the atmosphere changes, from a cozy home to a view overlooking the city, “then you’d be right.”

“THANK YOU, KUSUO! YOU’RE A GOD!” Kuniharu continued with his praises as he bowed down to him, completely forgetting he was twenty minutes late.

“Go to work, good grief..” Annoyed, Kusuo disappeared in front of his father’s eyes.

Kusuo teleported back home and devoured his coffee jelly and said his goodbyes to his beloved mother.

/ My name is Saiki Kusuo, and I have physic abilities. /

/ Life’s not easy with these powers you know? Getting to hear what people think of you isn’t what you think it is. /

/ See that girl over there? / A girl with a short cute bob tied together with a pink ribbon, with a fragrance smelling like unicorn puke, skipped by innocently, / she’s the head of mob and is wanted by several countries. All she’s thinking about right now is her next victim. /

/ This is the school I go to, PK academy. Home to all kinds of nuisances and annoyances. / He says approaching the school, greeted by Matsuzuki, which of course, whose thought’s I can read.

/ I finally get to class, today is a good day I think. Seemingly peaceful today, no botherso- /

“Hey buddy!!”

/ I take that back. /

“Saiki, I sense a dark presence in the area, must be the work of the dark reunion!” The chuunibyou told him.

“Did you guys hear there’s a new student coming?” The three look to see ex-gangster smile at them

“Oh! I heard they’re a girl!” Teruhashi joined in the conversation, uninvited, with baby cherubs in the background singing hymns as a bright aura surrounded her.

“Really?” Yumehara randomly appeared, slightly blushing at the light-blue haired boy.

“Alright class, settle down, I don’t get paid enough to deal with you.” The teacher began.

Saiki could hear and sense someone behind the classroom doors.

“Please, everyone welcome Inki Ochikonda.”

The girl walked into the class, immediately stunning the students in the room. The teacher felt uneasy as she introduced the dark-green haired girl to the class.

“H-hi.. I’m I-Inki O-Ochikonda..” The girl spoke soft and shy as she slowly wrote her name on the board.

Everyone was shocked and concerned at her well being seeing her.

“A-as you can see.. I have s-scars, b-but don’t be scared! Please..” The girl looked dishevelled, knotted long dark-green hair, eyebags showing everyone her deprivation for sleep, her skinny arms and legs.

She almost didn’t look human.

“Everyone is so scary here! They’re all staring at me.. They’re must be disgusted by my ugly, disgusting body, I hate myself I hate myself I hate myself I hate myself I hate myself I hate myself I hate myself I hate myself I hate myself…….” Her mind spiralled with the same three words repeating themselves.

Saiki sat in silence, mind racing, trying to find a solution to try to help her. Though Saiki thought everyone was a bother, deep down he cared for people, a lot.

Her eyes glanced across the room until she takes a double glanced at a certain boy.

“Who’s that hottie?!” The girl starts, “His eyes, his pink hair, his complexion! Everything is so perfect. I feel wet thinking about him..”

/ wait is she talking about me. /

He looks up from his desk to see her staring right at him.

“I want to make you mine.”

/ oh boy.. /

Chapter Text

The girl finally takes a seat and coincidentally sits near the window.

“O-oh mystery man, stop teasing me with that cute look, I c-can’t~”

He heard the girl moan in her mind.

Sigh, / why does God hate me. / He asked with his eyes furrowed with a complex expression.

/ I can’t help but feel her eyes on me, find a new man to harass. /

The bell rung, the lesson was over, time for lunch, the thing the pink-haired boy was dreading knowing her plan.

“H-hi..” A timid shadow loomed over his desk, she slightly turned a shade of pink when she saw Saiki look at her.

“W-w-what’s your name?”

/ why do you care?! /

“That’s my best pal!” The buttchin lord stood on the other side of Saiki’s desk, leaving Saiki sandwiched in disaster.

“O-oh..” The girl looked down as she rubbed her bumpy scars.

“Hey what happened there? Did you get attacked by a crocodile or something?” Nendou foolishly questioned, not realizing what it meant.

“A-ah! It’s, uh… nothing.” Inki turned away, “B-b-by the way…” She nervously continued.

The more she spoke the more Saiki’s anxiety grew.

“What’s your friend’s name?…” She cutely asked, smiling whole heartedly.

“YES!” she thought, “Once I know his name, I’ll cut my thigh and carve his initials into it as well as cut his full name on my body, then I’ll show him it.. Ngh!~ You’re really making me impatient…”

/ what. /

Saiki’s eyes grew, he looked at Nendou, silently pleading to not tell her. Sadly for Saiki, Nendou has less brain cells than a watermelon so he didn’t take a hint.

“Oh my buddy’s name is Saiki! Saiki Kusuo. Why? Hey! You should come with us to get ramen after school!”

/ Nendou, that was the stupidest thing you have ever said. /

“S-Saiki..” she whispered to herself, remembering his name.

“Oh~ Saiki.. I’m so close right now… I can just imagine hearing you cry and whimper, as I carve my name into your skin or! Or! When I corner you and force you to make love to me. Or! Or! I brutally attack you and leave you on your dying breath as I eat you from the inside and out… I can just imagine it… Ngh…~”

/ … /

Saiki’s clenched his shaking fist as he was appalled and disgusted at what he was hearing.

His head hurt from the beginning to end of the graphic ways of torture she thought of for him.

Seeing himself visually getting forced onto her, cry as she slowly cut open his skin, and many more, isn’t a pretty sight to see and sickened him to his core.

Inki slowly disappeared into the crowd as Teruhashi, Kaidou, Kuboyasu, Yumehara, and Nendou surrounded Saiki’s desk.

/ I need to use the bathroom.. I feel sick. /

The pink haired boy stood up from his chair, putting all the attention onto him.

/ ugh. /

“Saiki? You okay? You seem pale?” Teruhashi asked, she batted her eyelashes, waiting for a response.

The boy nodded as an answer, as he quickly trotted out the cold classroom.

“Hey, did you guys notice he’s been acting a bit tense ever since that Inki girl came?” Kuboyasu quietly questioned to the group as he placed his palm on Saiki’s desk.

“Yeah I did….” Kaidou quietly said. He was worried about his friend.

“Though we’re not on first name basis, he’s still my first real friend.”Kaidou thought as his facial expression churned to different emotions as he thought deeper on why Saiki was acting strange.

In the secluded bathroom, Saiki sat on the toilet, doing nothing but trying to escape others thoughts around him.

His hand trembled, traumatized from what he was hearing from the girl’s thoughts.

The physic’s posture collapsed, making him bend forward, his forehead resting in his hands.

/ that girl is insane. / The boy told himself as he tried to control his trembling and keep his emotions in check.

He crossed his legs as he went to a more adequate posture, as he folded his arms and brung his right hand to his mouth to bite to calm himself.

/ how can I make her stop liking me? /

Deep into thought, Saiki’s restlessness came to a halt as he thought of several ideas.

/ yes. that’s a good tactic. if that backfires, let’s do this next. /

The physic knew that the more he interacted with her, the worst his mental health would decline.

Saiki was about to step out of the washroom due to class almost starting until he heard a certain someone’s thoughts approaching closer to his location.

/ wait- why is she here. /

Inki entered the men’s washroom swiftly.

No one was there besides her and Saiki.

“S-Saiki? A-are you here?” Inki called with a fist over her heart.

“Saiki.. I know you’re here.” Inki sternly whispered quietly to herself.

“I guess I start checking who’s in the stalls.” The girl said as she began in the first stall on the left.

/ shit. /

“Not in here, so you must be..” The pervert prideful spoke, unlike her other, more timid, personality,“HERE.” She shouted.

There was no one.

Chapter Text

/ Good grief, / The pink haired boy said as he teleported to the roof top.

Saiki inhaled the cold air and exhaled, creating a small smoke cloud from the heat. He put his head in his hand, he had a headache.

/ im lucky that i hadnt used my teleportation much today. /

Saiki took his hand off his head and lifted his head to stare at the minimal cloudy sky.

Saiki, since having a headache; he had a vision.

His face shifted from neutral and exhausted to terrified.

The mind reader just saw Inki’s face making a face he’s never quite seen before. Though Saiki isn’t completely innocent, it doesn’t mean he’s not oblivious to romantic or sexual innuendoes and flirting. The only reason he can detect it though is due to his physic powers.

/ good grief, it’s time to go back to class. this task may be more challenging than i first anticipated. /

The physic exited the roof top, entering the school. There, he was greeted with Toritsuka and Aiura.

“SAIKI!” The original pervert began, “Big boobs and I are trying to figure out what’s going on with the new girl.” The fortune teller took over,

“Yeah, she seems a bit off. Asked her if she wanted her fortune told, I got shut down immediately.” Aiura shrugged. Her face lit up as she remembered something as well.

“Oh! I haven’t told you guys?” They both shook their head in unison,

“She was looking for you specifically, Saiki! Too bad you’re already taken by m-.”

“Not even close.” Saiki telepathically corrected her. Saiki was digesting the information slowly until his facial expression turned terrified again.

/ why am i so scared of her.. is it what i saw? /

Saiki drifted into thought as his grip noticeably tightened on his clenched fist, making them shake tremendously. The other two looked at each other and tried to come to Saiki’s aid.

“Yo, Saiki? Are you okay?” Aiura questioned, wrapping her body around his left arm as she tightly squeezed his arm. The medium was not far behind from checking on his well-being.

“Saiki? Are you okay? You’re trembling..” Toritsuka trotted closer, his geta shoes click clacked against the cold floor. Toritsuka looked sincere but the only thing Saiki saw was the blue, concrete floors as his vision blurred.

“Saiki?”

“SAIKI!”

/ what happened? /

A moment of pure silence filled Saiki’s head as well pitch black.

/ did i pass out? /

The physic felt the cold air conditioning blow above his pink hair. When he was slowly gaining consciousness, people’s thoughts came rushing back to him. He felt people’s eyes on him. The physic twitched his eyes open, putting his hands on his eyes to check if his neon green glasses were on.

“Oh, here.” A similar voice spoke as they slowly slid his glasses onto his face. Saiki opened his eyes to be greeted by the bright light in the nurse’s room. The physic glanced around the room with confusion as he saw Toritsuka and Aiura standing beside him.

“Are you okay, Saiki?” The purple haired boy questioned the physic as the fortune teller ran closer to him and put her hand on the physic.

/ of course i am, im a physic, nothing can hurt me. /

Saiki thought as he rolled his eyes carelessly as the other two physics worried further about him.

“Saiki, you should go home, you’re obviously not okay.” Aiura’s face changed from a worrying face to a serious expression. Saiki just looked at his hands, practically twiddling his thumbs.

“You’ve been out for an hour as well. Get some rest.” The medium declared as he gently guided Saiki’s body to lie down.

“Toritsuka and I need to head back to class now. We’ll be back soon if you’re still here, Saiki!” Aiura clarified as they strolled out of the room, waving their goodbyes to Saiki with a smile.

/ peace at last. /

Saiki sighed in relief. He laid down as he observed the beige ceiling of the building. He wished that there was an off switch for his mind reading ability, he wanted to get better so he wouldn’t have to skip a day of school tomorrow. Until he remembered the germanium his parents bought while going on a spending spree! He looked for something in the room of equal value as he pointed his pointer finger out, levitating a simple lamp and bringing it towards him.

He apported the lamp, which coincidentally had almost the same value as his ring, and the small ring appeared before him. He slipped on the ring and almost instantly, everyone’s thoughts were like on mute and he could hear no one’s but his. He slowly shut his eyes as he realized this was one of the first times he’s had a rest.

“Ngh~”

/ what was that noise? /

“Saiki..”

/ I feel something on top of me.. /

“I want…”

/ that voice is so familiar.. /

“You inside me..”

/ wait.. /

The physic immediately opened his eyes after realizing who it was.

“Good morning, Saiki~” Inki gave Saiki a look he’s never seen before, the same face as was in his vision. Her cheeks were bright red as she was on top of him, one of her hands bringing Saiki’s close to her chest. Inki breathed heavily as she admired what she thought was now hers. While Saiki, on the other hand, was frozen with fear, his mind running wild on a solution on how to get her to leave.

The girl slowly situated herself onto the physic’s groin as she moaned when she immediately planted herself onto it. In embarrassment, Saiki turned his head to the side as he slightly blushed in response. Inki was expecting him to be hard to the touch due to his reaction but she then discovered nothing. Inki slowly began pulling closer to Saiki’s neck. His whole body shivered as he felt her lips, teeth, and tongue coming together in unison to create a mess of silva and spit on his next. Inki gently changed her position, in which she was sitting on Saiki’s hips, waiting for a response to her kiss. Saiki gained his self respect and pushed her back as he backed away into the bed frame. He panted heavily as he looked at the spot on his neck which looked like it was being to bruise.

“Saiki.. You’ve made a bad decision right now.. Luckily for you, we can just keep this to ourselves..” Inki cooed as she slowly backed Saiki into the frame. She grabbed something from her pocket and quickly held it to his unscarred face.

“Now be a good boy and behave for your superior.” She demanded, inching closer and closer towards the boy. She delicately took off her shirt while longingly looking at him. She took off her shirt to reveal her lace bra and visible collarbones. Then she took off her skirt and slowly put her legs in between Saiki’s. She then leaned in to kiss him. The kiss was long, Saiki’s never experienced this before. It didn’t feel right. In response to the one-sided French kiss, he slowly shed tears.

/ why am i crying.. is it because i feel weak against her..? or that im overwhelmed.. /

He sobbed silently as Inki disregarded his opinion as she continues to mess Saiki up.

/ please stop.. /

The physic repeated over and over in his head.

After a few more minutes of toying with him, Inki felt satisfied as she put her clothes on.

“Remember, Saiki. Next time you pull a stunt like that, I wouldn’t have half a mind to give you some pretty scars of mine.” She said sadistically. Saiki trembled in fear as he profusely sweat and still was continuously sobbing. Then, she left the room, like nothing happened. Saiki continued silently shedding tears as he thought of everything he could’ve done but was too it late. It already happened.

Chapter Text

Saiki laid down after he finished his crying session. His expression back to a dead pan stare.

/ i wonder what time it is /

The physic sat up and stared at the clock, it was almost the end of school.

/ i wonder what they’re up to without me. /

Saiki crossed his eyes, activating his ability, clairvoyance. He first looked at Kaidou, who was peacefully writing his notes and paying attention to the teacher. For a second though, he saw his eyes glance at his desk. I mean, who can blame him? Saiki just randomly left and never returned.

*RINGGG*

Saiki jumped as he heard the unexpected school bell. His mind was still recovering from what happened an hour ago. Saiki looked at his hands. His mind was recalling what happened, his eyes, though, were focused on his germanium ring. His mind came to a sudden halt as he just stared at the ring. His favourite item he owned beside his limiters and glasses, betrayed him. It made him powerless against… her. Saiki’s face crumpled in disgust, like he bit into a lemon, as his brain reminded him of how he acted like a coward during the whole thing.

*knock knock!*

Saiki’s eye’s widened at the sound of the knock. In an instant, his sadness turned into frustration as all his friends along with Toritsuka and Aiura entered the room.

“Saiki! You’re okay!” Teruhashi beamed as her aura brightened at the sight of him.

“Yeah, Saiki you had us real worried.” Kuboyasu included as they all stepped closer to his bed.

“I told ya we’d be back!” Aiura cheered as the medium was next to her nodding his head.

Saiki didn’t even dare at glancing at his friends. His fist shook as he still stared down at his germanium ring. The powerful physic fidgeted with the ring as people gathered around, saying how worried they were for Saiki. Everyone except for the physic duo. Aiura felt a dark presence as soon as she entered the room. Toritsuka, though, just felt like something was a bit off. He seemed very focus on his hands and hadn’t spoken a word yet.

“Go away.” The pink haired physic telepathically demanded to the others in the room as he lifted the covers to shield his tear-stained face.

They were all got caught off guard by the sudden change. Kaidou tried to question him by saying,

“Saiki? Wha-“

“Just leave.” Kaidou was cut off by Saiki. The short chuunibyou face shifted into a face of sorrow.

“Saiki must be mad at us.. Why else would he lash out at us..?” Even though Kaidou thought that, Saiki couldn’t hear it.

Kuboyasu thought it was his time to step in to get to the bottom of this,

“You know you can talk to us, we’re your-“

“JUST LEAVE.” Saiki shouted telepathically. The room went dead silent. Saiki forgot the last time he’s ever yelled like that.. And with that, Saiki heard shuffling towards the door and a loud, *SLAM* as he lifted his head from the pure white sheets to see no one. He was by himself. Again.

/ i guess this proves im not worthy of having friends. /

The physic teleported back to his house, specifically his bedroom. He would usually walk home but he weirdly felt vulnerable today and he didn’t want anyone else thinking he was weak. Kusuo stared at his ceiling as his room was still dark with rays of light peaking through the blinds. Kusuo plopped on his bed. He officially took off the ring and just loathingly stared at it, hands trembling. Suddenly, his emotions took over, and the ring was crushed in an instant. Now, it looked like a crumpled foil piece. Kusuo flung the ring across the room and left it there as he laid down in his bed for hours.

“Ku?” Saiki’s mother knocked twice and entered his room, there, he was fast asleep. Which was unusual due to his mind reading powers preventing him a peaceful sleep. She smiled and left the room to let her youngest son get some shut eye.

NEXT DAY..

The group glanced at Saiki’s empty desk.

“Saiki didn’t show up to school today..” Kaidou pitifully frowned. Kaidou was concerned for his best friend, largely due to mini crash out.

“Maybe Saiki’s mad..” Kaidou thought as he started trying to come to conclusions and reasons on why he acted that way.

“Maybe Saiki is just a bit sick and that’s why his temper’s a bit off. I mean I don’t think he’s missed a day of school ever. I’m sure he’s fine.” Kuboyasu stated as an attempt to comforted Kaidou. Kuboyasu leaned back on Saiki’s desk, he went deeper into thought.

“Maybe he just went to the bathroom.” Nendou added, thinking it was a possible scenario but was immediately shut down. Everyone tried to brainstorm a likely outcome on why he was so mad.

“I think he was just tired! Maybe not enough sleep?” Teruhashi suggested as she her face look increasingly concerned and her aura dimming its brightness.

Toritsuka hid in the corner of sliding door, hearing in on the conversation along with his partner in crime.

“Big boobs, we should check Saiki’s future. Let’s go up the staircase.” The medium suggested. ( for the first time ) The gyaru nodded in agreement and they both headed upstairs.

Usually, Toritsuka’s mind would be bouncing off the walls over the thought of being alone with anybody with the gender identity of female but, this time is different. It was about Saiki. One of his close friends. He knew something was off but he didn’t know just what yet.

“Alright, jugs. Whatcha see?” Toritsuka inquired her. Off the bat, he could tell it wasn’t good. Aiura’s face twitched in shock as she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

“T-Toritsuka..” she quietly crooned as tears formed in her eyes as she lowly shifted her head to stare at the purple-haired boy. “I don’t see anything past 2 weeks..” Silence filled the air as no one knew what to say.

“I’m going to go by his house today.” Toritsuka stood up, “There’s no way Saiki’s dying before I get a girlfriend.” Toritsuka began to head back to class, leaving Aiura by herself with her vision and tears pooling in her eyes. “There’s no way Saiki would die.. And if so, how?” Aiura thought to herself as tears still invaded her eyes. Toritsuka stopped by class 2-3 to once again observe Saiki’s friends.

“We should go get ramen later to clear our minds!” Nendou said, unknowing of the situation. Nendou felt a little tap on his back. “Huh?” Nendou turned around to see the one and only Inki Ochikonda. “Oh, hey! It’s crocodile girl!” Everyone’s attention pointed towards her.

“H-Hi.. Are y-you Saiki’s f-friends?” Inki cowarded, she’s never had a conversation someone without Saiki in it or anyone but Saiki! They all exchanged glances, wondering what her relationship was with Saiki.

“Yeah, why? What’s your relationship with him.” Kuboyasu questioned because she’s never interacted with him before, let alone be close enough to already be friends. Inki smiled and blushed slightly in response to the ex-gang leader’s question.

“W-Well he’s kinda…” Inki smiled as she turned flustered surrounded by his friends, especially Teruhashi, who was glaring at the unkept girl from the start. “M-My b-boyfriend…” Inki profusely blushed when she finished her sentence. The sound of imaginary glass broke for everyone. Saiki had a girlfriend and didn’t tell us? Yumehara turned to see Teruhashi who looked like her soul got sucked right out of her.

“Boyfriend you say?…” Teruhashi asked Inki with a puzzling look. “There’s no way he picked this weirdo over me! Not to brag but I’m the perfect pretty girl! I’m pretty on the outside and inside so why wouldn’t he pick me?” Teruhashi pondered to herself. She was trying to figure out the solution to a unsolvable puzzle.

“Yep! We started yesterday…” Inki cheerfully nodded.

“Impossible! Saiki wasn’t feeling good for the whole day! How could you ask him if he was bed-ridden?!” Kaidou replied, pointing his finger towards Inki. Everyone nodded their head in agreement toward the inquiry.

“Yeah, no offence but I don’t think you are his girlfriend..” Kuboyasu included as he raised his eyebrow. “You’re not really fit to be with him.” Teruhashi sighed thankfully, just another girl crazy for him. Inki’s felt her fists shaking as she turned her gaze towards the large friend group.

“I took care of him when he was sick. We bonded and I asked him there, it’s simple.” Inki said with a hint of rage, “Or maybe you’re too stupid to understand.” After saying that, Inki turned and stumbled to her desk and sat there, quietly doodling until she was further instructed by the teacher. All of Saiki’s friends stood there in disbelief at what the usually timid girl just said. At that moment, they all shared one thought, “Why would Saiki date someone like her out of all people?” The bell rang as everyone returned to their seats but still pondered at the back of their mind about the whole situation.

Toritsuka had heard just enough to suspect that something had happened when he was in the nurse’s room. After school ended, Toritsuka went to the Saiki’s house. “It was unusual for the physic to miss school because he didn’t want to draw any unnecessary attention to himself.” Toritsuka thought to himself as he rang the door bell. No one answered. He rang it again, no response. Now, Toritsuka was beginning to worry on why none of Saiki’s family opened the door. Maybe it was possible he went to a family trip! The medium was just about to leave until he a noticed a man walking towards the gate of the house. “Hey, are you Saiki’s dad?” Toritsuka asked the man.

“Uh, yeah! Are you one of his friends?” Kuniharu questioned the mystery person.

“Yes, is Saiki home?” The medium questioned again.

“Uh…Yes, but he’s not feeling good.” Kuniharu concluded.

“Oh, okay.” The medium said as he turned around to go back home. “He still must not be feeling well.” Toritsuka thought as he walked away.

*knock knock*

“Kusuo, one of your friend’s was here.” Saiki’s father told him. The room was dark with only a slight light coming from the blinds. The physic was in his bed. It looked as if he was sleeping or at least attempting to. “Kusuo, your friend seemed worried.” Still no response to the message, Saiki’s father stared at his youngest son as he just slept. “Honestly, I am too, you’ve never been sick before.” Once again, there was silence. “Goodnight, Kusuo.” Kuniharu finally shuts Saiki’s bedroom door.

Chapter Text

“Ku?” Kurumi popped her head in her son’s dark room. “This is your fifth time missing school!” Silence filled the room as Kusuo’s mother waited for a response. “Ku, you’ll have to go to school again, your school work will keep piling up..” Kurumi saw a slight shuffle under the bedsheets. “Ku, can you please go to school tomorrow?” She dropped her eyebrows with slight frown as she stood at the doorframe of his room.

*sigh*

“Okay.” Saiki replied telepathically. He couldn’t ignore his mother any longer. Kurumi’s face lit up by a bit in his reply.

“Okay, Ku! Me and your father will be out, we’ll be back soon though!” Kurumi slightly smiled, as she slowly shut the door.

/ oh gosh /

The physic got up from his bed after marinating there for a day or two. Last time he stood up was to get food. Kusuo didn’t realize how long he hadn’t eaten for until now. He decided to check himself in the bathroom to take a good look at himself after not looking at his reflection in a week. The mind reader saw the obvious things he expected. Dirty clothes, untidy clothes, and eyebags but he was shocked, no, appalled at his skinny figure, stench, greasy hair, as well as his skin unexpectedly started to break out. He didn’t believe it was him who was staring back in the mirror.

/ i’m not looking too hot right now. /

Kusuo stood there, glaring at his reflection. He despised the way he looked right now. He was mad at himself for letting it get this bad. He was mad at his friends for not saving him. He was mad at his parents for forcing him to go to school. He was frustrated with the world. Especially his irritating powers making living normal seem like an impossible task.

/ why did no one save me. /

He questioned the other side.

/ when i always save them.. /

Kusuo’s eyes watered, he’d usually never cry over such a stupid thing but this time it was different.. He felt something new, something emptier, more detailed. And he didn’t like it one bit. Kusuo rewinded his memories for himself until he realized himself, it’s always himself pulling away. How could anyone save him from drowning when whenever they tried to save him, he just sunk faster?
It was always his fault, Kusuo realized he was just victimizing himself for his sake rather for his friends and family. Now, they have to suffer with HIS consequences.

/ i’m so inconsiderate for others. /

Kusuo recognized that he needed to pay for his actions. It was his fault anyway so he should take a bit of responsibility, right? He thought of ways of revenge to punish himself. He realized that everything he did was too easy for him to do. Either that or it wouldn’t make him learn his lesson. Until he got the malicious idea.

/ why am I doing this right now.. /

He held the sharpened scraps of the germanium ring to his wrists.

/ do i really want to do what…. she does..? /

He pondered for a second before conducting that it would only be for a punishment and he’d never do it ever again. Besides, which lunatic would purposely hurt themselves besides for the fact they did something wrong?

/ i’m just taking responsibility. /

The physic said to himself as an excuse as he pressed the hard metal to his skin.

/ it’s just a one time thing. /

He said as he glided it across his skin slowly.

/ this is what i deserve. /

Kusuo finished his first ‘punishment’ as he stared at it with little to no regret. The blood pooled inside the cut as the white quickly spread into a bright red colour. The mind reader rinsed and repeated the same process over and over, letting his mind and thoughts take control. In the end, his whole arm was stained various colours of red as they dripped into the sink. Kusuo grew interested in them as he looked deeply at them. He’s never had an injury before and didn’t know what to do. He opened the cabinet for supplies to tend to wounds. He picked out the obvious objects being bandages and gauze. He didn’t know how to disinfect them so he just washed them out in the sink using the usual soap and water. Kusuo tightly bandaged the wound and returned to his room.

NEXT DAY..

The room was lightly covered with sunlight rays coming from the sun popping out of the blinds. Kusuo felt a bit underprepared for his first appearance at school after not showing up for basically a week. It’ll draw so much attention to him.

/ good grief. /

Everything was normal until he felt a sharp stinging sensation in his arm and that’s when he remembered what happened the day before. The regret started to set in as he figured out he was to going to have to hide it somehow. Maybe if he acted normally, no one would notice?

“Oh, Ku! You’re up!” Saiki’s mom hugged him as she set aside his delicious coffee jelly.

“Yep,I am.” The physic shrugged nonchalantly as his eyes immediately fixated on his escape. He quickly gobbled the jelly instead of savouring it to make sure his father wouldn’t bother him.

“Bye, Ku!” His mother smiled cheerfully, waving goodbye to him. The physic started to journey to school, encountering two nuisances, Kaidou Shun and Nendou Riki.

“Hey, buddy! Where’ve you been? Wanna get ramen after school? Boy, we surely were getting worried about you!” Nendou let everything out as Saiki began to speed-walk, giving each other a bit space.

“Yeah, Saiki. Everyone’s been worrying about you…” The short boy stopped until continuing, “not like I was worried or anything. I, The Jet-Black Wings, is sure of everything and is never weak!” Kaidou posed in an extravagantly matter in the middle of the path.

“Alright, squirt, enough daydreaming.” Nendou teased playfully to the chuunibyou. That resulted in a minutes long argument lasting the rest of the expedition to school..

When they finally arrived, Saiki was met with multitudes of people asking where he was and if he was okay. Questions raised when he arrived dishevelled and in a hurry when he regularly looks tidy and clean. Saiki sat quietly in his desk as people migrated towards him, drawing much unwanted attention to him.

“Saiki, where were you?!” Teruhashi managed to question beside the annoyingly loud crowd.

“Sick.” Saiki responded coldly.

“Sick? For a whole week?” Hairo was next to ask.

“Yup, I was very sick.” The physic answered

“Are you okay now?” Kuboyasu included.

“Mhm.”

/ why would i be at school if i wasn’t? /

“S-Saiki..”

His eyes widened noticeably at the sound of her meekly voice. It was his first time seeing her after the incident.

“H-How are you?.”

Saiki’s head immediately dropped, defaulting to staring at his shaking hands. He didn’t even remember what she looked like.

“Awh!” Said one person in the crowd.

“Cute!” Another one followed,

“They’re such a cute couple!” Someone told another.

/ what is this? what happened while i was gone? /

“Saiki? Y-You’re shaking!” Inki inched forward to the pink haired boy, trying to act innocent. “Are you sure you’re okay?” She tried to take on role as supporting, caring girlfriend and convince people she is. She grabbed his hand, raising it to the desktop. Inki held his hand, tightly squeezing it as a reminder.

“Saiki, remember what I told you. Smile and behave.” She whispered into his ear gently and quietly. He lifted his head with a forced smile.

“A-As you all know, me and Saiki are dating..” the class erupted, with the exceptions being Kuboyasu, Teruhashi, and the physic duo hiding behind the door. Inki nuzzled her head into Saiki’s as Saiki tried to return the fake affection by accepting it and placing his head on her own.

“Saiki? Are you okay?” Toritsuka asked Saiki in his mind.

/ yes. /

Replied Saiki with the fakest tone ever. Toritsuka and Aiura didn’t believe his answer. They both knew the truth that Saiki probably knew as well. They were on a countdown from Aiura’s fortune. That predicted countdown being Saiki’s death which was happening in almost a week now.

*RINGGG*

“S-Saiki, want to eat l-lunch together?” queried Inki to the physic.

“Sure.” He responded quietly with a nod.

“Yay!” Inki hugged his arm as they rushed to leave for lunch.

“I have a spot for us, Saiki! Or should I say, Kusuo?” The dark green haired girl playfully skipped in front of him. Saiki just nodded, following along what she was saying. They kept walking and Saiki noticed that, the more they walked, the less populated the area became. Inki stopped they reached an abandoned looking classroom. The skinny girl tried to open the door but it seemed it was locked from the inside. “Aw, Ku-baby, they locked it..” Inki cried in a baby voice, trying to seem innocent. She glanced cheekily at Saiki, expecting a reaction, but to no avail, nothing. “Don’t worry though, I know another place!” Inki smiled as she grabbed his hand and ran further into the school.

Finally they reached a dead end of a hallway with no classrooms, teachers, or students in sight. They both sat down, exhausted from walking around the whole school just to get to a quiet spot.

“Wow, alone with Kusuo again? And he agreed? Ohh my god… That makes me so wet.” Inki squealed in her mind, fan-girling over Saiki.

/ god, if you exist, help me out here. /

“Kusuo,”

Kusuo turned his head towards her. The physic never heard anyone call him by his first name before besides his family, so his name coming from Inki almost sounded foreign to him.

“When I was younger, no one wanted to play with me.. I was always an outsider to them.” Inki randomly bursted into a backstory as Kusuo saw her memory in her mind. The memory almost reminded her of himself when he was younger. Kusuo listened further.

“I was the weird kid in corner in middle school. But, I had this crush on a guy, and did this to myself because he told me to.” She raised her skinny arm to show Kusuo the red, purple, and white scars she had made. “But, it was all in vain because it turned out he liked a skinnier, prettier girl, named Teruhashi Kokomi.”

/ oh so Teruhashi and her used to go to the same middle school, I guess /

“So,” she began again, “Last year, I almost lost all my weight. Lowest I was maybe, 80 pounds.. Ever since then, I’ve swore to take revenge on her for.. Making me like me.” Inki shuffled to the corner, hugging herself tightly with the slight sound of soft sobbing.

“Kusuo must think I’m so weird.” She believed as she repeated certain words she was fixated on.

/ it’s so hard not to pity her. /

Suddenly, the girl launched onto the mind reader, hugging his waist as she got her tears all over his uniform.

/ good grief.. /

“K-Kusuo, please…” Inki was interrupted by her own sobs and sniffing, “stay with me!” Kusuo looked down at the girl in pure confusion. Inki looked up at the physic, her eyes glossy and puffy. Kusuo felt compelled by her look to do something, rather than just be her human pillow.

/ ugh. /

He rolled his eyes and ultimately, put his hand on her messy hair, slowly patting her as a way to comfort her. He’s never comforted anyone, sympathy wasn’t a distant emotion he could feel. Rather, it was an emotion he couldn’t visibly or facially express. Yeah, he’s done something to someone because he felt bad, but he’s never done it so openly before.

“K-Kusuo?” Inki said as she felt the warmth of his hand on her head.

The esp slightly blushed due to embarrassment.

“Kusuo must love me after all, he’s just shy!” Inki concluded in her mind as her frown quickly turned into a faint smile.

Suddenly, Inki was on top of him again. But this time, Saiki was more accepting.

“K-Kusuo.. I’m sorry,” Inki began, Saiki couldn’t read her mind, it was all over the place. “but, you’ve gotten me riled up and I can’t sit idly anymore..” Inki heavily blushed as she crawled on top of Kusuo, inching closer to his face. “This time though, no one is here to save you.”

That sentence. It made Kusuo realize, he’d been played by Inki.

Inki first began by kissing his neck once again, making dark bruises every time without fail. She propped Kusuo’s hand to rest on her waist.

*RINGGGG*

/ the bell! /

Kusuo never thought he would be so excited over a bell, until he heard this sound,

“Some silly old bell won’t stop me.. Won’t stop us.” She seductively wiped her lips. The lioness looked at her prey intensively. Her presence was overwhelming, something Kusuo couldn’t handle. In an instant, she started removing her clothes, “Don’t worry about sharing this body with anyone else.. I did my research and know there’s no camera’s here.”

/ she’s right.. i can tell by my x-ray, there no camera’s in sight, as well as people. /

Kusuo’s focus followed Inki now instead of what she said.

/ best to just follow her lead. /

He had no opening to leave. He was stuck, helpless, left to this girl’s mercy. Again.

“How about we start to rev up the engine?” Inki blushed as she began to undo Kusuo’s belt, heart beating wildly out of her chest. She removed his belt swiftly as Saiki just lied there, still and silent.

“You’re too shy for your own good.” Kusuo began to back up into the wall. He pulled himself together, resting on the wall, now in a sitting position. He caught his breath as sweat dripped down his face, making his hair stick to his face, almost like he was melting.

“Kusuo~” Inki quipped, “It’s really okay if you can’t get it up.” She then giggled softly at her joke while Kusuo blushed slightly.

/ what’s that supposed to mean?! /

“But that’s okay,” She continued, “I’ll make you.”

/ oh ew.. /

Inki slowly crawled over to Kusuo, pursuing her intentions with him. The green haired girl slowly stripped Kusuo of his pants, revealing his underpants. “Oh, Kusuo!~” She groaned excitedly, as Kusuo’s face grew more tiresome of her behaviour.

/ you’re voice is grating. /

She pulled Kusuo in for a kiss. Kusuo just followed along with her. All his attention was focused on her and how to escape.

“Enough appetizers,” Inki touched herself as she longingly gazed at her toy, “time for the entree!” Kusuo was freaked out but not as freaky as she was. Kusuo couldn’t help but blush at her, he’s never seen something so intimate, though he’s a physic who reads the minds of the most perverted boys and the freakishly kinky daydreams of people on the daily, this was far more intense due to how its real. It’s going on in front of him. He felt something he’s never felt before.

“Here I come..” Inki crawled onto him and sat on him. She smiled. “I guess I finally have came around to you.” His eyes widened as she started to become squirmy. “Are you ready?” She devilishly flirted, hooking her finger to his boxers.

/ this is embarrassing.. oh wait, i have an idea. /

“W-Wait,” Kusuo whimpered, satisfying Inki, “I-I’m scared..” He turned away and glanced at her as his hand held close to his lips, blushing growing stronger.

“Just follow my lead, Ku-baby..” Inki grinned softly. He could clearly hear her thoughts now. It being:

“Kusuo, let me take advantage of you. Let me use you like how other men used me.”

Suddenly, a certain clicking on the floor started nearing closer.

Inki naturally tuned it out as she bit the mind reader’s neck once again, this time giving tongue. She thrusted her body on him while doing so while Saiki waited patiently.

Finally, the clicking came to halt as Kusuo looked up and faced the man with a slight smile.

“Help me.” Saiki telepathically begged.

“SAIKI!”

Chapter Text

“Do you want to be friends?”

Silence erupted as a little girl stood idly beside another little girl, the wind blowing in both their hair.

“Sure..” The little dark green haired girl shaped the sand castle throughly as the blue haired girl got on her knees as well as she began helping her.

“What’s your name?” The blue haired girl softly grinned as she turned to her new friend.

“I’m.. Inki Ochikonda..” She slowly hesitated at the response as she stared at the ground.

“What a cute name! My name is Teruhashi Kokomi!” Teruhashi replied as she began making a sand castle as well. The girl’s aura was bright, she was like a ray of sunshine, literally. Inki couldn’t even stare at her for too long period of time before her eyes began to hurt. She shined brightly, brighter than Inki knew she could ever shine.

Suddenly, boys of all ages began surrounding her with a slight blush saying:

“Ouph!”

They began crowding the pair, asking nonsensical questions or favours they could do for her. No one will or ever do something like that to Inki. Even from a young age, the girl knew wasn’t the prettiest or smartest.

“Inki, follow me!” Teruhashi grabbed the girl’s hand as she scurried away from the crowd that chased her. “Don’t mind them, they’re just my fans..” she explained as she turned to check if they were still chasing them. “I hope you don’t mind the crowd!” The shining light laughed as she suddenly was caught by someone’s clutches.

“Kokomi!” A mysterious boy yelped as he caught her in his arms. “Are you okay?” The sunlight covered the boy’s face as both the little Teruhashi and Inki looked up.

“Ma-Makoto!” Teruhashi latched onto the boy, wrapping her arms around his waist in a gentle hug. She digged her face in his shirt as the boy patted her back.

“Kokomi, who is this girl?. Is she stalking you? I’ll pummle her if you want!” The squeaky voice defended Teruhashi as Teruhashi turned to face Inki.

“No, Makoto, that’s Inki, my new friend!” The sunshine looked up to face ‘Makoto’. The boy leaned forward to whisper in Teruhashi’s ear.

“Kokomi, as your brother, I don’t want you hanging out with this.. thing. I’ll introduce you to five prettier, kinder, more better girls than it!” Her brother smiled, feeling proud of himself. Teruhashi on the other hand, seemed greatly upset.

“Makoto, she is not an it! She’s also the prettiest, nicest girl I’ve ever met! Stop it!” Kokomi shouted as her eyes began to tear up as Makoto seemed shocked that she went against his wishes. Inki stood there in shock that, someone she just met, would speak so highly about her. The green haired girl couldn’t help but tear up over the comment.

“Heh, you are the perfect pretty girl..” Makoto smiled softly as he held her hand a forcefully dragged her away from the playground as Kokomi’s stumbled over her feet, gazed at her idle friend who seemed like they were staring into space.

“Teruhashi Kokomi..” Inki uttered under her breath as her gaze turned to the leaving Teruhashi. She was astonished by what just happened before her eyes. Inki turned to head back to the sandbox but she found the bunch of people staring with their mouths agape. Suddenly, without any notice, the crowd surrounded Inki, asking her questions about her friend.

“Teruhashi…” the crowd was silenced by Inki beginning, “Kokomi..” Inki pondered over what she was going to reply with. “T-T-Teruhashi Kokomi i-i-is my f-friend.” She stuttered quietly as the people listened.

“What?! How can… uh, he be friends with a gift from God like her? Someone in replied.

“Yeah! I bet the Goddess just felt for you.” Everyone began agreeing with one another as Inki stood in silence again, believing all the negative things they told her.

“Whatever, this is lame.” The crowd dispersed in an instant, leaving the young girl alone, like always.

“SAIKI!”

The medium cried out with little breath he had left. His sudden voice pierced through Inki’s ears and made her stop dead in her tracks. The purple haired boy’s words had escaped his mind as he still stared at the supposed couple in front of his eyes. Inki finger suddenly unhooked out of the physic’s boxers.

“KYAHHH!!” Inki shrieked loudly as she quickly put her shirt and slid her panties back on. “W-W-WHAT ARE Y-Y-YOU DOING HERE?!” Her voice boomed as she stood up, getting off of Saiki’s lap. Toritsuka stood there silently, furrowing his eyebrows, still perplexed at what he saw. “T-This is me and K-Ku’s time alone..!” The girl nervously stumbled over her words as she tried to explain the situation. “S-Stop being s-so pervy, T-Toritsuka! A-A-All the girls told me about y-you..” Her legs pointed inward as she pointed to the apparent ‘pervert of the school’, to that response though, Toritsuka still stood there, out of breath.

Finally, Toritsuka made his first movement, his eyes. They shifted towards the slumped vibrant pink hair who was slightly trembling. The boy’s head was fixated on his hands, in which he was fidgeting. Toritsuka and Inki couldn’t see it, but Saiki had a small, quiet, simper smile of relief. Toritsuka’s eyes watered a bit as he saw his friend in trouble.

“Saiki..” He thought as he desperately tried to communicate to the physic but, of course, he stayed as quiet as ever, still putting his head down.

Suddenly, *SLAP* Toritsuka’s face immediately began to burn as he didn’t quite realize what just happened. The medium’s hand touched his burning cheek as he finally processed what happened.

“I-I hate you!” The small girl barked wildly as she began to storm off, leaving some of her uniform on the cold, secluded floor. Toritsuka didn’t wait a second when she left before he bolted to his close friend’s aid.

“Saiki! What happened?” The medium hastily questioned. His tears began to well up again. He, without a thought, hugged the physic. “Why..” He interrupted himself by his sad voice crack, “Why didn’t you stop her..” The purple haired boy hugged Saiki tighter as he kept asking him about what happened. Saiki softly smiled in response to Toritsuka concern as he slowly returned the sudden embrace.

/ good grief.. /

“Thanks to the ghosts, I was able to find you and reach you in time!” Toritsuka cheerfully said as he continued to hug and comfort the esp.

Toritsuka pulled away out of the hug as he placed his hand on Saiki’s shoulder’s, pulling him further away to get a good glimpse of the physic’s shape. He exhaled in relief as his head fell down, staring at the floor.

All of a sudden, Saiki noticed the mood changed in an instant.

“Saiki..” Toritsuka lifted his head again, his face now more concerned and confused.

/ oh boy… /

“What happened to y-your arm..?” The pink haired boy just realized his sleeve must’ve rolled up when he hugged the purple haired boy. Saiki’s eyes suddenly glanced at it and covered it with his other hand in a panic. “S-She did that to you.. Right?” Toritsuka examined Saiki’s face. The sweat slowly dripping off his chin, his furrowed brows. Saiki’s eyes looked away at Toritsuka’s face, avoiding eye contact.

“It’s nothing.” The pink haired boy replied with his mind as he stared back at Toritsuka.

“But she did that to you, right?” The purple haired boy desperately asked, not believing that the oh-so-powerful physic, Saiki, would ever do that to himself. Saiki sat there in silence. He felt terrible if he lied and said that she did but..

“Yes.” He nodded at Toritsuka’s question, in which made Toritsuka sigh and softly smile again.

“Phew, I thought you did that for a second!” He pretended to wipe non-existent sweat off his face in response. “Hear, let’s go to the nurse’s office to get you to the nurse’s office to get some new bandages for you!” Saiki nodded again as he finally stood up and put his pants back on.

/ wait, no, i need some excuse.. if the nurse sees my injuries, she may think i’m mental. /

“You know, I can go by myself, just go back to class and don’t be a bother.” Saiki coldly requested Toritsuka.

“Not even a thank you for my help?” Toritsuka looked offended as he heard what Saiki asked him to do.

“No, I am grateful. Just don’t want to miss class.” The physic made a weak excuse but, funnily enough, Toritsuka bought it.

“Oh! You’re so thoughtful! Alright, cya Saiki! If you need more help, ask me!”

/ good grief.. /

“Hey, Idiot! What happened with Saiki? Ya just dipped on me!” There, sat Aiura, who was playing with her crystal ball.

“Uhh, so I just think I walked into Saiki about to get laid..” Toritsuka slightly winced at Aiura’s cries of devastation.

“WHATTTTT, TELL ME YOU STOPPED HIM!” She inched closer to the medium’s face. Unlike usual, her face wasn’t a pretty sight to see, she looked shrivelled and gross.

“Yes, of course, but I only did because he asked for my help..” Toritsuka began, “Maybe the virgin was scared to lose his V-card!”

“No.. That can’t be right.” Aiura started to ponder deep down, thinking about what could’ve happened.

“Also,” Toritsuka abruptly stopped her thoughts, “I think.. Saiki is cutting himself..” The medium looked down, ashamed he didn’t confront him fully.

“W-What? There’s n-no way!” The fortune-teller stuttered as she was shook by the sudden information. “You can’t be so sure!”

“I’m pretty sure, he made up a lie saying that he wanted me to head back to class and he’d go to the nurse’s office by himself. But, what I can do is, I can try to ask the ghosts near his home..” Toritsuka concluded.

“Wait, let me check if he’s there.” Aiura and Toritsuka completed the weird tasks and began to look at where Saiki was. Just like that, they saw him at home. “You know what, I’ll come with.” Aiura smiled at him, “We should try to help out Saiki like he’s helped us.”

“I agree. Let’s go after school.” The gyaru nodded in agreement. Deep down though, they both had the countdown in their minds. They still needed to brainstorm ways to save Saiki from his inevitable demise in a week now or so now.
