[~X~]
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?


    He was at it again. His constant obsession with his most recent case. They called it the "Specimen Case", and it was definitely one of the scariest and most horrifying cases by far. Kogami would never tell me much about, mostly due to his trying to protect me, and also because detectives weren't allowed to discuss cases outside of work. But you couldn't really hide much when it was all over the news. It was actually starting to scare me; the long, sleepless nights he'd been having lately. The dark, violet bags underneath his eyes. The way he'd lash out at me when I whenever I told him to take a break. Though, I can't really blame him for it. His colleague, and close friend, had died during the investigation. Ever since then, Kogami made it his life's mission to stop at nothing until he solved this perplexing case, only having a few leads to go on. Everyone was seriously starting to worry about him, and his Psycho Pass was getting dangerously high. He wouldn't go to therapy, he wouldn't talk to me about it, he just kept all of his feelings locked away inside of him. He knew it wasn't the smartest thing to do, but he didn't want to risk my Psycho Pass getting any higher due to his stress. He told me that after the case was solved and put away for good, that everything would go back to normal. I prayed that he was right.


If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?



    But unfortunately, he wasn't. The case seemed to be getting more and more insoluble with each passing day and the harder it got to figure out, the more invested Kogami got into it. He started putting so much time into this case that he usually went without eating, without coming home at night, without calling me to ask about my day. It was so unlike him, this fanatical side. I'd often call or text him throughout the day to see how he was doing, but of course he'd never pick up. Gino warned him not to let the case take over his mind, not to let everything else fade away into the background. But as much as I wish I could have said something or done something to save Kogami, there was no saving him. And he eventually let his Psycho Pass go far beyond acceptable limits, and the Specimen Case consumed him entirely.


If a judge for life me
Would you stay by my side?
Or is ya gonna say good-bye?
Can you tell me right now?
If I couldn't buy you the fancy things in life
Shawty would it be alright?
Come and show me that you are down.


    Even though the world might think that Kogami lost his sanity, I know that the man that I fell in love with is still in there. Even working as an Enforcer hasn't stopped Kogami from pursuing the cold case. Kogami has always been a passionate man. But I don't think that the fire burning inside of him is because of some mental instability, but because of a strong sense of justice. All he wants is justice for his friend, and all of the other victims of that disturbing case. And he will stop at nothing to achieve it.


Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
Baby don't lie to me
If I didn't have anything...
I wanna know would you stick around?


    I walk into the small, cramped room designated just for him in the Criminal Investigation Department. He's sleeping on the couch with his arm strewn across his chest as it slowly rises up and down with his soft, quiet breaths. I can't help but notice the files and newspaper articles marked with red highlighter bolted on the far end of his room. Before it used to worry me, but now I just accept it as a part of him. A part of him that I'm going to have to understand and deal with if I want to be with him. And a high Psycho Pass isn't going to scare me away from being with the love of my life. A Psycho Pass is simply a label, but to really know a person you have to find out who they are inside. What their dreams are, their passions, their greatest fears. Kogami has proved to me time and time again that he's not crazy; just that he has a strong sense of what's right and wrong.

    I tiptoe over to his sleeping form and gently sweep his messy, ebony hair back before placing a tender kiss on his warm forehead. He stirs at the contact, but never fully wakes.

    "I love you, Kogami," I whisper in his ear. "And I'm never going to leave you."

Tada! Here is the long awaited Kogami x Reader songfic!
I didn't put a lot of speaking parts in it because I wanted it to be more about how I view Psycho Passes and Crime Coefficients and less about the lovey-dovey stuff XP
But I hope you guys like it~
