“Running out of time”

Author’s note: Yes this is partially based off a real event, no I do not want to talk about it. (It’s a little funny)

Please enjoy!

"Press it! Press it!!" Kokichi shouted over your shoulder.

“Are we done? I don’t want to screw it up and press it too early” You exclaimed.

"If you don't press it now, who knows what'll happen! Push! The! button!" He cried out, with comically large tears streaming down his face.

"If I push it now, we may not have done everything right!" You yelled back, hands shaking.

"It's now or never, S/o, I'll never forgive you if you don't press it in time." He stated grimly.

You quickly re-read everything on the screen in front of you, tapped a few keys on your phone keyboard, and pressed the button. Immediately, the screen went black. You and Kokichi were both silent. The room's atmosphere had been totally different mere moments ago. Now, instead of shouting and anxiety, it was silent and just tense. You looked up at the clock every few minutes. 

Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

Time crept by, slower than ever before, almost convincing you that it wasn’t moving at all. You’ve never seen Kokichi this serious. 

You two made small conversation here and there just to fill the time, though it didn't help much.

At one point, you even went outside to wait. 

It was rainy, chilly, and dark.

The rain danced on your coat, before falling to the concrete beneath you.

But as soon as you heard Kokichi telling you to come back inside, as he was getting cold from the open door; you went back inside to wait.

Right when you both started to give up hope, there was a knock at the door. You stood to answer it, but your boyfriend was faster; getting to the door and throwing it open.

"Thanks, we almost starved to death!" He exclaimed to the poor GrubHub driver.

"Yeah, sorry about that.. Enjoy your McDonald's.." The driver said before turning to head back to his car. Kokichi didn't bother to tip, he just closed the door and got to work making sure everything was there.

"Oh my God, S/O. They forgot the most important part" He wailed.

"What? What did they forget?" After waiting a long 20 minutes, you didn’t want to deal with reordering whatever they missed; And your phone was dead, so you’d have to wait for it to charge to do so.

"The seventeen pepper packets I added!!" He wailed; gently, but dramatically, tossing the bag on the counter.

Though that wasn’t a main part of the order, Kokichi was actually upset about it being forgotten. So much so, that you almost felt like driving to McDonalds to ask for pepper packets, just to appease him.

McDonalds had already closed by the time you decided to do so, however.

It was a sad day that day.
