Summary
But no. Shuichi’s just planning a date for them, and he’s not even directly lying. It’s just that he’s so shitassed at surprises, he keeps having to come up with excuses for his behaviour, and that’s where all the tells come in. It’s endearing. And Kokichi likes that Shuichi still tries to surprise him, despite the fact that they both know Kokichi can see through him, and they both know Shuichi can’t really deceive anybody. It’s sweet. Keeps things fun! So Kokichi keeps his mouth shut, sitting on the edge of the bed and swinging his legs. He does nab Shuichi’s sweater off the edge of the mattress though, pulling it over his head to prevent the risk of boyfriend withdrawals while Shuichi’s off dealing with whatever it is he’s dealing with.
When the door reopens, Shuichi emerges, looking a bit flustered still. His phone is in his hand. He crosses the room, setting it back down on the nightstand and dropping onto the mattress.
“Sorry about that. It really wasn't an emergency,” Shuichi says bashfully. “I just, ah, yeah. Had to handle it.”
Kokichi finds himself fighting off a smile again.

Lying to the liar is a fool's venture.
