LATE

Danganronpa Autumn Week 2020

Day 4- harvest and field/orchard

OUMAMI

Sorry this is late. Had a lot of person problems rise up and my brain said depression time. But I did want to get this out! It's a bit rushed though

------------------------------------------

"Hurry up!" Kokichi's childlike voice shouted. "I've been ready for an hour now!" He stomped hia foot down on the ground.

"Yeah? That's because you were up earlier than I was." Rantaro pulled out a chair from the dining room table and sat down to tie his boot.

"Why did we even have to wait this long into October to go!" Beside Rantaro, Kokichi leaned on the table with a sigh, close enough to where if he turned anymore, he would fall into Rantaro's lap.

"Because." Rantaro switched feet and leaned down. "Isn't it more fun to visit a pumpkin patch closer to Halloween? Your pumpkin won't rot before then. You don't want a sunken in pumpkin face do you?" He lifted his head to face Kokichi, a small crooked smile as he teased.

Kokichi immediately stood upright, his hands folding behind his head. "That's what you think. I'd welcome a rotting pumpkin. It will remind me of my dear Rantaro's beautifully rotting face."

Suddenly Rantaro's deep, rich laugh filled the room. "Yeah you're right. I'd be the scariest decoration on the porch wouldn't I?"

"Yes! But only because your seperate head would be on the front porch."

"Shut the fuck up." Rantaro got up and pushed the chair back into it's place. "Make sure you grab whatever you wanna take and let's go."

Kokichi turned and began to walk towards the front door. "I only need your wallet and my keys and I'm good." He giggled and looked back to see Rantaro shoving his arms through his jacket, an eyebrow raised as he pulled his keys out of his pocket.

"Very funny. No get to the car."

Rantaro may have been born into a well off family, but he liked to keep his belongings more rustic. That included his car. An older model made for off-roading, as he did in many of his adventures. They road for 40 minutes into the country and away from the city life they were used to. A halloween playlist blared from Kokichi's phone connected by an aux chord. The buildings turned into vast pastures with small farm houses and tall trees that only had half of their leaves still on them.

They pulled into a gated ranch and parked in the grass next to some other cars that also had to be visitors. On one side of the field there was a small one story house with a wrap around porch. Complete with rocking chairs and potted plants out front for the old vintage look. On the other side, a red barn with a green corn maze, the pumpkin patch, and a few other activities spread over the arces.

Kokichi jumped out of the car and brought both fist up to his chest, eyes wide with excitement. "Rantaro, it's so cool already!"

Rantaro hit the lock button on his keys. "Not many people out yet so I think we came at the right time."

"Come on let's go I wanna do the petting zoo first!' Kokichi bounced over to Rantaro and tugged on his sleeve as he was digging out cash from his pocket.

"Hell yeah I wanna see a goat."

"Of course you do. You sound just like one when you laugh." Kokichi teased.

"Man I wish. Do you know how funny that would be?" Rantaro was always quick to deflect. He put some money into a small honesty box the farm had set up as you entered the gate. This served as the admission fee.

Once inside, they filled their morning with activities. First the petting zoo where Kokichi was able to feed some of the small animals the farm had. Rantaro got the chance to have a staring contest with one of the goats and unfortunately lost.

Next, because of Kokichi's size, he was able to ride on one of the small pony's they had displayed.

"Damn I can't believe they've got a real unicorn. That's so magical." Rantaro pointed out as he looked at the iridescent horn they had attached to the pony's head.

"Stop! You're going to hurt his feelings!"

Thirdly, they came across the hay ride. Someone who lived on site got up on a horse and allowed other guests to ride in the trailer on the back that was filled with hay. It was a quick go around but being able to see just how big the pasture had been was amazing for them.

It was on that ride that Kokichi noticed a both for face painting.

"Please please please!" He begged Rantaro.

"Sure go ahead. Just stay still so they can make it look nice."

"Isnt the point to be scary for Halloween?"

"Not at a family friendly event its not." He nudged Kokichi. "Plus you're just going to get the clown makeup anyway."

Kokichi leaned back in disbelief. "Rantaro I'm hurt! I was thinking of other things to get. Its like you don't even know me at all!" He pouted.

"Alright you're right. Go ahead and get your face done and I'm going to grab some apple cider."

Kokichi's frown immediately turned back into his childlike expression as he went off to the booth.

It didn't take long for Rantaro to find the food stand and grab a cup of apple cider and make his way back to the face painting booth where Kokichi was finishing up.

"Hey looking good clown." He sipped on the cup.

"Oh shut up Rantaro." He mumbled, unable to move his face much.

Rantaro couldn't help but laugh. Finally Kokichi seemed to be subdued.

Makeover done and cider finished, they found themselves in the next to last activity, the corn maze.

"Have you ever seen Children of the Corn?" Kokichi asked.

"Nah, I don't think so. I don't remember."

"Good." A wide smile creeped across his face.

"Wait what are you smiling about?"

"Oh nothing! Maybe! You gotta find me and then maybe I'll tell you!" Kokichi slid through the corn stalks and out of sight.

A slight panic rose in Rantaro. What was Kokichi up to? Would he get lost? What if he didn't find him after this? He shook his head and started off in the direction Kokichi ran and began his search.

Everytime he would turn a corner, he swore he saw a checkered scarf run past but he couldn't be too sure. He would go off the path for a bit, pulling the stalks back and trying not the break the husks.

After a while he just stood in an open part of the maze, surrounded by the corn. Kokichi was a master at this and it left Rantaro having to look for small weak spots in Kokichi's plans.

Suddenly there was some rustling in the corn to the left of him. Bingo. He cautiously walked over, trying not to make any noise to alert Kokichi of him noticing him. He slowly reached out his hands in between the stalks and quickly shoved them apart to reveal….a squirrel. Rantaro sighed. He really thought he had him.

Instead it was him that had been played. Soon a small force shoved into him, arms wrapped around him from the side with a he-yah!

"Got you Rantaro! You're super bad at this!" Kokichi looked up at him, his chin rested on Rantaro's arm.

Rantaro tried to hide the relief as he was finally reunited with Kokichi. "Damn. Cant believe you got me again. I knew you were working with the squirrels." He lifted a hand up and tussled the hair on Kokichi's head, causing him to let go and shake his head away from Rantaro's head.

"That's a secret I'll never tell!"

"Why am I not surprised?" He smiled. "Hey let's go pick out our pumpkins now okay? I think that was like the last thing."

"Okay!"

They made their way back towards the front to the large pumpkin patch. People were walking through taking pictures and holding up different sizes from small pie pumpkins, to large ones that were great for displays.

"Go ahead and pick one okay?"

"Ran-Ran can't we get three? One for each of us and then we can carve one together!"

"Oh totally we can do that. But that's it okay?"

Instead of answering, Kokichi zoomed into the patch and began picking different pumpkins up to examine them. He would turn them over and pat them to listen for the slap noise.

"You have to listen for the good noise to know if its worthy!" Kokochi said matter of factly as he lifted one up. "I chose this one!"

"Its way bigger than your head. Are you sure you want to put that much effort into carving it?"

"Yes! I have so many ideas!" Kokichi tucked it under his arm and began looking around for one they could both do.

Rantaro spent a bit more time until finally coming across one that had a nice flat surface for carving. "Alright. I found my boy. Did you find one for us both to do?"

Kokichi held out the pumpkin he chose for Rantaro to take so it would free his hands up. Rantaro shifted each pumpkin under his arm and held them in place as Kokichi kept looking around for the perfect pumpkin.

Finally Kokichi's foot kicked a pumpkin when he wasn't looking. He caught himself before he fell and looked down at it. "Aha!" He leaned down and picked it up. Perfectly oval to allow them both room on each side to work with. "I found it!"

"Sweet. Let's go get checked out then okay?"

They got through the line with ease and made their way back to the car. Rantaro also picked up a jar of homemade jam they had available at the register.

"Hey Ran Ran?" Kokichi asked as he buckled up.

"What's up?"

"Thank you for hanging out with me today and taking me out here. It really meant a lot."

Rantaro could tell Kokichi was having a hard time being vulnerable. "Hey, it's really no problem. I had a great time this morning. And you know it's not over yet. We still gotta carve em." He smiled and turned the key until the car started.

"Oohh! And can we bake the seeds and make roasted pumpkin seeds please!"

"Shit those are my favorite. Of course we can Kichi."
