Kokichi always enjoyed teasing his classmates. But he began to favor Himiko after a few attempts at deceiving her.

She didn’t put up with him or his lies. After learning about Kokichi’s lying manners, she never took him for his word and always expected the unexpected whenever around him.

And the fact that she was always ahead of him, seriously bothered him at times. (Not that he’d ever show his frustration of course)

But even so, he just took her attitude and ignorance as a challenge.

Even though Himiko didn’t particularly like his presence or senseless jokes, she did find herself having to hold back a smile or chuckle at some of the remarks and jokes he made.

Though his doubt about magic did bother her...deeply, she was use to it from the rest of the world.

He was persistent, cheeky and playful.

And she was hot-tempered, creative and had a tolerance to deal with the likes of Kokichi.

They just work. Even though he can get on her nerves constantly if she ever gets too pouty he always makes it up to her with a little extra teasing in the mix but never enough to make her seriously angry or upset.

A lot of the time she just goes quiet and gives him the cold shoulder since she knows how much he favors her attention and care.

On the nights when either of them are upset the other is instantly knocking on their door and is ready to cuddle, comfort and support.

They’re actually really good support for each other, whether it’s their compassion or love speaking, their message and words always get through to the other and can help immensely in most to any situation.

As mentioned above, cuddling is a big thing with these two. In general Kokichi loves to tease and affection Himiko, her flustered-ness is absolutely adorable to him and is just an added bonus, he loves to watch her hide under her hat or in his scarf whenever he randomly pecks her forehead or cheek or kisses her hand, even a too lust-filled glance can get her flustered at just the thought.

And Himiko absolutely loves the affection and attention he gives her, even at times when she would hide from the embarrassment. She loves laying in his lap as he fiddles with her hair, and leans down to meet her lips at random times.

She’s not the biggest fan of spooning but he doesn’t mind. He just enjoys the height advantage in other ways~

Which he loves, since it’s rather difficult for Kokichi to find a love interest shorter then him, and he never lets her forget it.

Their relationship is filled with endless teasing and compassion.

He can get quite protective, and if anyone dares to hurt her in any way he’s got backup protection for keeping her safe.

After some time, Himiko’s innocent looks and cute persona gets to him easily and she loves how flustered he can get, and whenever he does get to the point of blushing Himiko tries to make it last as long as she can and just enjoys it in the moment.

Their constantly seen in each other’s accessories to the point where seeing Himiko wearing a checkered black and white scarf is normal.
