Prompt: Free day

I decided to do a soulmate AU. It’s a little cheesy, but I really like red string AUs, and a lot of other soulmate-like stories.

A (somewhat late) submission for the first day of the event! I was so close to going black and white on this one, but I'm thankful I was talked out of it-

note: i intended this to be a fic, but then again i can’t trust myself to finish it, so i’ll just tell the summary of this headcanon of mine. i came up with this idea after listening to block b’s jackpot. be warned, this contains spoilers.

- after the chapter 2 incident, himiko got afraid of doing magic show because she was supposed to make everyone smile with her magic, but it turned out to be the opposite.

- kokichi noticed how himiko got afraid of doing magic show, so he bothered her to do another magic show because he missed himiko’s magic show.

- himiko insisted she didn’t want to do it anymore, and kokichi suggested that he would do the magic show instead because someone got coward.

- himiko didn’t want to get a headache from kokichi as their conversation was getting long, so she agreed in order to end it.

- kokichi wanted to do the knife throwing magic. 

- himiko got worried about it, but he reasoned that he wouldn’t kill her in such an obvious murder because the blackened would be obvious, and that would make the class trial boring.

- himiko didn’t trust kokichi, but she didn’t trust herself more after the chapter 2 incident.

- although himiko was still doubtful, she had no choice because she was tired of kokichi's painful persistence.

- almost everyone noticed that himiko and kokichi were both late to come at the dinning area when it was time for breakfast (especially Tenko and Shuichi) for three days straight.

- kokichi got himiko’s trust for a bit because of practicing the magic.

- kokichi had a silly plan ready to twist the magic show, and himiko was unaware of it.

- kokichi announced there would be another magic show at the gym after giving out papers with silly drawings comparable to a kindergarten kid’s drawings—serving as flyers—to everyone.

- everyone was wary of kokichi was planning, so they decided to watch the magic show at the gym to observe him.

- kokichi thanked everyone that they had come, and presented he would do the famous magic called knife throwing with a twist.

- everyone gasped that himiko was the assistant who was tied at the spinning wheel. they thought himiko would be the magician, and kokichi would be tied at the spinning wheel.

- everyone noticed that the spinning wheel had something written to them (similar to those TV shows having lucky spin segment) like “tenko will be rewarded a ramen”, “tsumugi needs to show her cosplay act”, etc.

- everyone questioned kokichi because they found him so suspicious.

- kokichi explained that he would not hit himiko since he was confident, and he wanted the prizes to happen which was written in the spinning wheel because  because himiko risked her life for this magic, and he only have three knives which served as a ticket for the lucky spin.

- tenko, gonta, and kaito were the first one to protest that kokichi needed to stop this risky magic.

- himiko was nervous, but she wanted to believe deep inside that kokichi would still tell a truth although he would lie since he was a human.

- kokichi had his trademark evil smile and then threw the knife which made everyone gasp (and tenko almost had a heart attack).

for reference:

- kokichi didn’t injure himiko and he hit the prize of the spinning wheel called “maki needs to cook for kaito”.

- maki called how the magic show was stupid, but she blushed, cheeks red as a tomato.

- kokichi had only two knives left, and he hit the second knife, but it hit the prize of the spinning wheel called “sorry no reward trrryyy again :^)”.

- kokichi would end without injuring himiko, so he threw the last knife, and he hit the prize of the spinning wheel called “himiko’s seeeecret reward”.

- kokichi untied himiko, and asked if she was all right. he kissed her right hand as a reward which she blushed.

- kokichi told himiko that she shouldn’t be afraid of the word “retry”.

- gonta who wasn’t amused of kokichi’s magic went to the stage.

I was hoping to make an entire panel, but school and work started up this week and had me all kinds of busy. I had the idea of Siren!Kokichi using his song to lure Himiko into the ocean upon learning that she was afraid of it, hoping to help her face her fears (as opposed to eating her or something), and I thought it would be nice for the AU prompt.
