Personally, Kaito thought there was something extremely messed up about an internationally renowned thief having to do homework. Here he was, though, working his way through the math problems he'd been assigned. And, of course, wishing that he could be spending the time with his boyfriend instead, which was extremely normal sounding too. It made him wonder if he could stand living life as a 'normal' person, but he shoved it aside.
He was almost through with Kid, wasn't he? After all, the likelihood that Pandora existed at all was slim to none, just like Shinichi said, and soon the people who had killed his father would be brought to justice. His Princess wouldn't rest until they were behind bars, even more so now. Kaito wasn't sure why he was surprised when Shinichi's focus had sharpened phenomenally after he'd told him the entire story, but he had been.
This is what he wanted, what he'd been working toward... Right?
His mother appeared then, holding his mobile phone out to him. The ring tone was playing cheerfully. Smiling gratefully at her, he reached out and took the device before setting it to his ear. He didn't even bother to see who was calling, because, right now, he didn't care. Distractions were niiiice. He was so bored...
“Moshi Moshi~” he slurred, unable to dredge up any enthusiasm. Whoo, homework eats braiiiins.
“Kaito, can you come over. Soon? We need to talk.”
Shinichi's serious words made him sit up like a jolt of electricity had gone down his spine. Worry settled into the pit of his stomach. What the hell could have happened now? “Sure, Shinichi. I'll be there as soon as I can.”
Kaito let himself into the manor without even really thinking about it. Shinichi wouldn't care, because he'd done it a few times already, and if it bothered the detective Kaito knew he'd complain. That was just sort of how things worked with them, really. Wandering into the sitting room in search of Shinichi he found his Princess wasn't there, and continued through the place in search of him. Eventually finding him sitting in the library.
Well, actually he was sitting on the floor in the library with papers and stuff spread around him in an obviously organized circle. Livid red notes, were scribbled on them, along with numbered arrows that appeared to point to other pages, other things were circled pointedly. Kaito couldn't really make heads or tails of it. Maybe this was why Shinichi was able to solve his riddles so fast?
The detective was so intent on his papers that he didn't seem to notice his arrival, and Kaito found himself standing over him without any acknowledgment. “Shinichi?”
“These are the papers on your case, your father's too. I've spent the last several days working out an event time line, and drawing all the evidence together.”
Kaito stared at the information spread around them, and felt a strange mixture of coldness, satisfaction, awe, and warmth. Shinichi was doing this for him, even if that wasn't the only reason. “How much sleep have you been getting?” he asked suspiciously.
“Enough. This is more important. If things go right we'll be able to move at your next heist. The police are a bit... suspicious about my anonymous source, but they aren't asking too many questions. It comes with being friendly with pretty much the entire force... But, Kaito, I need you to make this next heist a big deal.”
“Tell me what you're planning, Shinichi...”
As Shinichi explained his ploy, Kaito sunk down onto his knees behind him. Reaching forward, he wrapped his arms around the detective. Silently, he rested his chin on Shinichi's shoulder, and staring sightlessly down at the spread of papers. He watched the way Shinichi fiddled with his pen, tipped it back and forth, between his pointer and middle fingers.
Worry settled in his stomach, thick and heavy, because he wasn't sure what he'd do if Shinichi got hurt, or worse, doing this. He was the one who had gotten him involved, after all. Kaito knew he could have kept doing things the way he had been, even if it wasn't going anywhere, but, at the same time, he realized that if he had kept Shinichi out of this he'd either have had to give Shinichi up, or let him know eventually.
This was what Shinichi did, after all. He solved mysteries and sought justice. It was one of the things Kaito liked about him. He was doing all the right things Kaito couldn't do because he was doing them the wrong way.
“Stop thinking like that, you're not supposed to be so negative.”
“I can't help it,” Kaito murmured. “I don't want to lose you.”
Shinichi tensed slightly under his grip, and his breath hitched a tiny bit, before he asked, voice masked with sarcasm, but carrying an underlying touch of something unidentifiable that Kaito understood well enough, “Isn't it a bit soon to be saying things like that?”

Silly Shinichi! XD Being this amazing together means that you get to skip steps like that! ;D
Wonderful, simply marvelous! I love how in character they can be while still being well, together. XD Great job!

I can't even go squish, it needs something bigger. Thus, squoosh.
That said, no matter how many times I read the next line, I can't quite get it to make sense around the mention of Shinichi's breath. It feels like it's missing a word or a phrase in there somewhere.

Date: 2010-01-03 05:09 am (UTC)It's ok, Kai-kun!! You won't lose Shinichi!! As long as you're there, you'll protect him!! But it's good to make sure Shin-chan fully understands you in situations like these, so that he'll think of that while he's doing what has to be done, and maybe he won't be as stupid as he can be when he obssesses over something.
"Isn't it a bit soon to be saying stuff like that?"
Of course it isn't, Shin-chan!! He has to tell you now, especially when you're secretly planning to do something stupid and dangerous because you're too nice a person to put Kai-kun in danger, and it'd be too late if something DID happen to you! And he can't tell just before, because then you'd have that sentence running through your head, over and over and over, and you'll be distracted and do something stupid, and then where would you be?
I love very much, Koorii-senpai! The plot is still there, it's very interesting, it has much fluff, and it still shows that even as an internationally renowned thief, he still has average things to do in his life. There's so many stories that focus only on the drama and adventure they forget these little tidbits that help a reader relate to the characters. This is why you're one of my favorite authors! ^_^

I'm glad to hear about why you like my fic, its not something people mention all that often, and sometimes I worry that those details are bogging my stories down. I can get too interested in them sometimes.
I love details, they make me happy. XD;;;
