"BOOH!"

"AAH!" Shouted Rantaro dropping his fork on the floor.

"Oh-" Kokichi's words were cutted by his own laughter. "Oh man scaring you is so much fun!"

"Kokichi! I thought you said you got bored of scaring me."

"Oh~ That was a lie."

As Rantaro sighed Kokichi sat next to him.

"So where is Shumai? is he already gone? How sad I even had a good prank to do!"

"Yeah he already left. I guess he's having a busy day."

Suddenly, Rantaro felt Kokichi's arms wrapping around his neck and his face buried into his neck.

"Hm? What are you doing Kokichi?"

"I knew it! You really must have putted on a cologne!"

"Huh? I didn't even have time to put on my rings today. I don't think I am wearing cologne."

"Hmmmmm~ That's weird. You aren't lying. Then why are you smelling so good?"

"I do?" said Rantaro a bit flattered.

"Yupp! the same scent on your blanket too."

Rantaro didn't remember putting on-

Waitttt! Did Kokichi just admit sniffing his blanket! and implied it was nice too!?

"Nishishi~ it's so fun to make my beloved blush~"

As Rantaro was blushing, he remembered he still didn't know why kokichi had taken his blanket.

"By the way, why did you want my blanket?"

"Of course because I was feeling so lonely and cold I wanted to feel like you were wrapping me into your arms Sweetie pie." said Kokichi batting his eyelashes in an comical way.

Even though Rantaro knew it was a lie it did nothing to lessen the effects of his blushing.

"Will you stop avoiding my questions please?"

"Hmmm should I~ okay fine, I was feeling weird which prevented me from sleeping and the solution to that was stealing your blanket!"

Rantaro couldn't decide whether it was a lie or not but it seemed like Kokichi would have added more action to it if it was a lie.

His thoughts were cut off by the school bell.

Pouting, "Such a bummer! I wanted talk to you more. Well whatever! See you later Avacado." Said Kokichi.

Chuckling "See you later too Kokichi." said Rantaro.

For the sake of possibly learning more about Kokichi, Rantaro decided to ditch his venomous animals class and headed to Miu's lab.

Even before entering into her lab he could hear "Unggghh you are way too hard Keebo" and Keebo's "w-wait I am suffocating™ shouts.

Knocking on the door, he entered to see they weren't doing anything dirty but, as the usual, Miu pushing her chest to Keebo's face so she could reach a tool he couldn't name.

"Ehh? What is Weedtaro doing here?"

Not reacting to the weird nickname "I had a thing to ask. It's about Kokichi" said Rantaro.

"Ughh what did the grape shota do again?"

"He said he was feeling weird these days. Has he said anything to you?"

"Not really. All he talked about was Pooichi's smelly pillow and about how amazing the golden girl Miu Iruma was! " said and flipped her hair.

Keebo slowly spoke up "Umm Miu? I can't breathe."

"You stupid! You should be begging me on your knees to even look at my way. Now be thankfull Keebitch!"

Rantaro didn't want to stay to hear more of Keebo's pleas and left the lab.

Now that he has already missed a class, he started wandering around in the school thinking of what Miu said.

Ah! maybe Kokichi also borrowed Shuichi's pillow like his blanket!

Deciding to ask the detective if he was right, he made his way over to detectives lab.

As Rantaro was about to knock on the door, suddenly it was opened from the other side. He came face to face with Shuichi.

"A-ah!"

"Haha I was just about to come in."

"Really? Can I do something for you?"

"Perhaps did Kokichi appeared in front your room at 3 am and took your pillow?"

"Yes he did. how did you know?" asked Shuichi tilting his head.

"That's because he also took my blanket yesterday."

Ah. so it wasn't Kokichi's own blanket he was carrying yesterday. Thought Shuichi.

The both boys couldn't help but feel a small sting of jealousy.

"Do you know why? I wanted to ask him but he left before I could." said Shuichi.

"I did ask to him this morning his answer was bit worrying though."

"He said he had this weird feeling which made him unable to sleep and the way to fix that was to get our blanket and pillows."

"That's.. interesting. Did he say anything else?"

"He also mentioned that we smell good. He literally sniffed my neck this morning and apparently said your pillow was smelly to Miu."

... Shuichi couldn't really make anything out of these clues.

Except maybe.. Even if it was a small chance..

"Umm Rantaro?"

"Yeah?"

"You don't use scent blockers right?"

"Yeah you should be able to smell me."

"Well since you confirmed it for me, I have a guess on what could be causing Kokichi to do these things."

"Really? You really are the Ultimate Detective after all. Care to tell?"

"I don't think Kokichi is a beta."

"I also don't think he was trying to cover up his second gender. He wouldn't let noticeable things like this slip, so he probably hasn't presented yet."

That wasn't what Rantaro had expected but thinking it really did fell into place.

"We still can't be sure if he is alpha or an omega though." finished Shuichi

"We can't?... Ah, you are right."

Wanting to have a known scent around you while sleeping could be either an alpha or an omega trait. So could to find an alphas scent pleasant.

"Should we tell Kokichi? " asked Rantaro and Shuichi at the same time.
