Author's Note: And I'm back! Yay! New story guys and this one actually came as a prompt. So LilianRosas24 here it is just for you. Unfortunately this isn't complete yet. It's going to take some time for the second chapter to come out but it will. I'm really busy so I find it hard to find time to write. I however made a promise to LilianRosas24 to make this prompt and I always keep my promises.

So Interesting things to know about me:

1.) All of my stories under the same anime/manga usually happen in the same timeline. So in a sense I have my own AU. So yes this story happens before my story 'When Blue Eyes Turn Green' and after 'Roommate Struggle'.

Why do I do this? It's because my favorite fanfiction author (the one that inspired me to write a long long time ago) used to do this. However if I choose to do a story with another AU I will specify otherwise. (Go ahead and give prompts if you want. I'll see what I can do.) For now I shall call this the Roommate AU.

2.) Whenever I write I always write with a one-shot in mind. I don't usually make things knowing it will be multi-chaptered. If you see me have more than one chapter that's because I never realized that my story would end up this long. For example I look at the Word Count and realize, 6000 words already? Might as well break it into parts. Hahaha.

I've been thinking of doing a Mafia AU multi-chapter story but we'll see how much my college life is going to affect me.

So anyway guys! Here's my story! I know right now there's a lot of jealous fics but…I do love them. And I love writing them. So I'm sorry if you're sick of them. Hopefully chapter 2 will be done soon.

Finally, thank you so much! AHHHH! All those reviews and favorites to my past stories! I love you guys! :D I'm so happy to know people actually enjoy my stories. Thank you everyone! Hope you enjoy this story too!

Please comment and review! (And maybe even prompts.)

"You're unbearable!"

"Must you always act like an egotistical maniac?!"

"Preferably than a loud mouthed hot head!"

Kaito couldn't take this anymore. Ever since the other two came home from class this afternoon, they've been arguing and arguing ever since. Banging his cup of hot chocolate unto the table he turned to glare at the two huddling over in the living room. "For the love of god! If you guys can't stand five seconds without strangling one another then separate will you!?" His head was pounding from all the noise. He came to the kitchen to relax, not to come out strangling someone.

At his comment, Hattori and Hakuba snapped their heads towards him and gave him heated glares. "Believe me, if I had a choice I would have gone to my room ages ago!" Hakuba spat as he scowled at Hattori.

"Well you're no ballpark either! In fact if it wasn't for Kudou I would have packed up by now." Hattori fussed crossing his arms.

"The feeling's mutual." Both Hakuba and Kaito muttered as the three glowered at one another. Kaito was close to pulling his hair out. Sometimes he never knew why he put up with rooming with both Hakuba and Hattori. The two were frustrating and they always got on his nerves. He honestly couldn't wait for the day when he can move out with his blue-eyed detective and get an apartment of their own.

After the three of them continuously exchanged looks of annoyance and frustration among each other, Hakuba huffed as he stood up to go to the kitchen. Getting out his favorite Darjeeling tea leaves he made himself a cup of tea. "Look Hattori. Let's just get this over with. The sooner we start on fixing our stance the sooner we can stop being in each other's presence."

"Maybe if you actually listen to my opinions we would have had some progress." Hattori replied sourly. Kaito was now considering whether he should just go back to his room before another argument can begin.

"Your opinions weren't very helpful in the first place." Hakuba retorted putting down his tea to look at his fellow detective.

Hattori was about to answer back when Kaito interrupted. "For crying out loud! You are not going to start another damn fight!" He said exasperatedly as his eyes flickered back and forth between the two. "What in the world are you working on anyway!?"

"A debate!" The two chimed in, hostility cutting through the air.

Kaito rolled his eyes at that. "I may not be taking the same subjects as you but I'm pretty sure when you're on the same debate team you're supposed to be arguing against your opponents not at each other."

Both Hattori and Hakuba just scoffed at him. Kaito could see that there was no humor in their eyes. Looks like they were not in the mood to tolerate his jokes whatsoever.

"Why did you guys pick each other as partners in the first place?" Kaito went back to his hot chocolate, stirring it once more. It was really a wonder to him why the two of them decided to pair up. Everyone knew when the two work together they weren't exactly examples of perfect comradery.

"Not like we had a choice. We were arguing over who gets to be Kudou's partner until somebody else snatched him." Hattori griped as he clutched the arm of the sofa. "And since we took too long everybody else was already paired up."

"Regrettably, I ended up stuck with him as my partner." Hakuba finished as he took a sip of his tea.

Stopping his stirring, Kaito straightened as something that Hattori had said clicked in his head. Quickly he turned towards the Osakan with wide eyes. "Wait! What about Shinichi!?"

"What about him?" Hattori questioned back. Hakuba also turned his gaze to Kaito, his curiosity now piqued.

"You mentioned somebody snatched him…" Kaito treaded leaving his hot chocolate alone.

Hakuba and Hattori shared a quick glance and Hattori cautiously answered back. "Umm…yeah. He's partners with some other guy." Kaito felt his face twitch.

"And this guy snatched Shinichi?" He inquired guardedly.

"Well…he just asked Kudou if he wanted to be partners." Hattori and Hakuba were clearly tensing up. They didn't like where this was going.

"Out of the blue?"

"Well…yeah"

"Without hesitation?"

"Well he did ask right away."

Kaito then leaned forward. Feeling annoyance creeping in as he stared down the two detectives. "Was there determination in his eyes?"

Hakuba clicked his tongue and crossed his arms at him. "Ok quit dawdling. Just get to the point!"

"Don't you guys see!?" Kaito started. It shocked him that they couldn't see it already. "He wants Shinichi for himself!" He declared.

At his exclamation, the two detectives continued to stare back at him for a second. Then the two turned back to each other. They were in no mood to deal with the magician or his crazy ideas.

"So how about we agree on researching on the topic first." Hakuba suggested and Hattori rolled his eyes. "Like I didn't know that already."

Seeing how the two bluntly ignored his observation, his face twisted into a grimace. Oh he was not having any of that. That was for sure. Pulling out from his repertoire of at-hand tricks, he brandished a party popper.

One quick tug on the string sent confetti flying about. The loud pop that came with the trick jolted the two back to attention. While Kaito would have loved to spend a moment to appreciate the startled look on their faces and the confetti in their hair, he went back to business.

"Be glad I didn't bring out the glitter." He warned and smiled as he saw the two straightened up just a tiny bit. "Now…how could the two of you let my poor defenseless Shin-chan be snatched away by some stranger?!"

Hakuba scoffed and Hattori snorted as he commented. "Defenseless? Try telling that to all those poor souls who still have scars from his soccer ball."

"Ok fine. He's not defenseless. But still I don't like the idea of him hanging around with some guy who picked him instantly. It's pretty suspicious." Kaito huffed. It didn't sit right with him. After all he knew very well that Shinichi has a huge number of admirers. The person after all would not have asked him if he didn't know who Shinichi was in the first place.

Hakuba sighed as he stood up to place his now empty cup in the sink. "I don't understand why you think it would be suspicious. Kudou is hardworking and intelligent. He makes a great partner. Any person would like to pair up with him."

Kaito snapped to look at Hakuba. "Oi! Stay away from him." Hakuba suddenly went took off into a fit of coughs at his accusation.

"Dear god. Kuroba! You're insane!" Hattori exclaimed frustratingly. "Just because somebody appreciates your boyfriend doesn't mean they're out to get him!"

Ok fine. Kaito already knew that the British prick was dating his childhood friend. And maybe he was over-reacting. He gets it. He should actually be happy for Shinichi that other people were lauding him. He deserves it after all. His boyfriend deserves all the praise he gets. He's just that great of a person.

However since Shinichi is such a great catch there are bound to be wolves. Wolves for example who disguise themselves as partners for a class project.

"Kuroba. There's no need for any worry. The guy just chose the best choice of a partner. Completely platonic." Hakuba reasoned as he eased back into the living room couch.

Kaito was about to answer back when Hattori interrupted. "Honestly, how does Kudou put up with you?"

Kaito closed his mouth as Hattori studied him. What was he implying by that?

Hattori sighed as he could tell that Kaito was a bit miffed by his comment. "I'm just saying. Any other person would feel like they were suffocating. Your jealousy would only drive him away."

Kaito bit his lip at that. It was perfectly normal to be jealous. Wasn't it?

Hakuba watched as Kuroba's face crashed down. Though the two would never admit they had a good relationship, Hakuba could tell that Hattori's remark had stung. They may get on each other's nerves but Kuroba was still one of his good friends and it was never good to see a friend of yours hurt. Giving a quick jab at Hattori's side he then added to Hattori's comment.

"What Hattori probably meant was that there's no need to get jealous over every single person around him. It's never good to be too jealous. It wouldn't be good to treat everyone as a potential threat."

Kaito looked at Hakuba and sighed. He has a point. He couldn't expect Shinichi to stop making friends just because he was worried they were going to steal him. It wouldn't be good to jump to conclusions right away. Who was he to judge against a guy who he hasn't even met?

That's right. His jealousy would just irritate Shinichi. So for the benefit of the doubt he'll just have to wait and see.


Kaito continuously drummed his fingers on the table as he glanced once again back to the door. After Hakuba slipped earlier that Shinichi was actually meeting up with his partner he couldn't stop the urge to wait for him. If he was going to wait and see how things were going to play out he might as well gather some information about the suspect.

He was planning to get whatever information he could get out of Shinichi while they were having their dinner. But alas his and Shinichi's curry rice lay cold and untouched on the table.

According to Hakuba, Shinichi had agreed to meet up with the guy in the library at 3. It was now well over 8 in the evening. He knew he wasn't supposed to be biased. But come on. He didn't even know that this guy existed this morning and here he was monopolizing more than 5 hours of his boyfriend's time. How could he not be suspicious?

Glancing at the ticking clock on the wall he rubbed his face in frustration. Kaito took a deep breath and reasoned. Knowing his boyfriend's luck he may have run into a murder case.

Now no longer feeling frustration but worry he pulled his phone out. If he was dealing with a murder case, he should really check on him.

However just when he was about to dial Shinichi's number, he heard the door knob twist open. Shinichi then calmly entered with his school items in tow. Kaito knew Shinichi well enough that he could tell from his slight smile and bright eyes that Shinichi was in a good mood.

Shinichi closed the door behind him and Kaito watched as he started towards his room when he stopped in his tracks. Shinichi's head snapped towards him. He could see his blue eyes taking in the surroundings. His eyes darted to the curry rice on the table then to the clock on the wall.

Kaito and Shinichi then locked eyes for a second till Shinichi meekly asked. "Ummm…Did I forget something?" The Heisei Holmes then started to amble towards him. Shinichi's face twisted to an apologetic expression. "Did we plan something again? Was there another event I should have remembered? Anniversary? Date?" Shinichi started to apologize when Kaito held up his index finger to stop him.

"No don't worry." Kaito started. "I was just hoping to have dinner with you. It was my bad. I should have clarified if you had any plans." Kaito defended. He breathed out a sigh of relief. The thought of Shinichi implicated in another murder worried him. All he cared about right now was that Shinichi was finally home. He probably had a long and tiring day.

"Anyway you must be hungry. Sorry it's kinda cold. But I can heat it up. Just give me a sec." He then stood up and collected the two plates of curry rice. A minute in the microwave should be good enough.

"Uh…well actually." Kaito stopped as he watched Shinichi rub the back of his neck sheepishly. "I already ate dinner."

"Oh…" Kaito kept his voice stable. "You did?"

"Yeah. It's actually why I'm coming home at this time."

Kaito softly had a sharp intake of breath. Making sure not to show anything on his face, he turned back to Shinichi. "Oh? With who?" He asked nonchalantly. There was no use to jumping to conclusions. He could have had dinner with Ran.

"With a classmate of mine." Shinichi explained nonchalantly, now putting his stuff down on the kitchen table. Kaito then slowly put down the plates of food. It would be bad if he would accidentally drop it on the floor. "Because in our class we broke into pairs for a debate. We then met up in the library to work on it. Before we knew it, it was already 7 and we decided to have dinner."

After Shinichi's explanation, Kaito tried to keep his face from showing his annoyance. Who the hell was this guy? "So…who instigated the dinner?"

Shinichi looked at him bemusedly. "Umm…I don't know. We just sorta decided it ourselves. Why are you asking?"

Kaito took a second to breathe and then shrugged. "No reason. I just wanted to know how your day was."

Shinichi looked at him for a second then to the plates of curry rice placed on top of the kitchen table. "Sorry. You waited for me right? I should have called ahead and informed you that I wasn't eating here."

Kaito tried to shake the annoyance brewing up inside of him. He had dinner with some guy. So what? No big deal. It doesn't have to mean anything.

He then gave Shinichi a small smile. "Nah it's ok. I'm used to it." It was true though. It wasn't the first time he found himself sitting beside cold food because Shinichi was called to do something else. It's just…It was the first time however that he was left waiting because he was having dinner with someone else.

Shinichi, perceptive that he was, could tell that he was still disappointed. Shinichi then donned a small smile "But hey. We can talk while you eat. I want to hear about your day too." Shinichi proposed as he reached out towards one of the plates. "Here. Let me heat this one up."

"No it's okay." Kaito said causing Shinichi to stop. Kaito then quickly picked up the plates, wrapped them with cling wrap and placed them in the fridge. "I'm not that hungry." Which was true. He suddenly lost his appetite after finding out about Shinichi's day. He knew it shouldn't be bothering him. It was just one dinner and maybe 5 hours together. Nothing to worry about. But he couldn't stop his jealousy rising up.

While he would have loved to talk to Shinichi about his day maybe it was best to just rest his annoyance away.

Shinichi just stood there as he cleaned things up. Then Kaito turned towards him, flashed a small smile and proceeded to walk towards his room. "Sorry kinda tired tonight. Let's talk tomorrow." Kaito suggested as he walked in and closed the door after not waiting for Shinichi's response. He knew Shinichi would pick up on it but it was best that he cool down for the moment. He couldn't let his irrational jealousy get to him.


Shinichi woke up early that morning hoping to catch Kaito before he left. Not used to being the one who woke up early he made sure to gulp down his coffee. How Kaito wakes up this early without the use of coffee amazes him still.

Shinichi sighed at the thought of his indigo-eyed boyfriend. Something was up last night. It was obvious that something happened and Shinichi worried about it. Usually the two would have spent the night together in one of their rooms but Shinichi could tell as much that Kaito wanted to be alone last night. His being alone however meant that Shinichi couldn't question Kaito any further. So now he had to resort to waking up earlier than what time Kaito would leave for his morning class which in Shinichi's opinion was too goddamn early.

Feeling his stomach complain at the amount of coffee he had to take in on an empty stomach he then walked over to the refrigerator. Opening it up his eyes spotted the two plates of curry rice. Shinichi couldn't help but feel his stomach drop at it.

He knew it must have been hard for Kaito to wait for him to come home. He cursed the fact that he constantly found himself being pulled away by work which meant he was constantly being pulled away from Kaito. Once again he had left Kaito waiting for him. Another night alone at the dining table.

Pulling out an apple, Shinichi closed the door. He really should have called. It wasn't like he was at a murder case last night. He could have called anytime. Shinichi felt the guilt double. He knew Kaito was used to it but that didn't excuse the fact that he left him to worry.

Thinking back to their conversation last night Shinichi frowned. He offered to stay with Kaito while he ate. Why did he skip out? Shinichi rolled the apple between his hands. He must have screwed up. He should have just eaten with him. He's sure he had enough room for a few bites.

The detective closed his eyes in frustration. He hated feeling like this.

The sound of a door knob twisting alerted him to straighten up as he looked at the newcomer. Kaito came out of his room fully dressed. His faced carried a glum look as he eyed the floor. Sensing that someone else was in the room he looked up to see Shinichi watching him. Shinichi saw how Kaito's eyes widened in shock and how he pursed his lips. He knew right away that Kaito was not expecting to see him so soon and from his expression he didn't seem happy to see him either.

Breaking out the poker face that Shinichi knew too well by now, Kaito pulled a smile. "Dear god. It must be the end of the world. Shinichi waking up before me? It's unheard of." He tried to joke but Shinichi continued to fix him with his stare. He was not going to have any of that.

Walking slowly towards the moonlight thief, Shinichi noticed how Kaito refused to look at him. Pursing his lips in frustration, Shinichi quickly took the magician's hand and pulled him closer. He pulled him into a hug and Kaito stiffened in it.

Breathing out a sound of relief as he took in the comforting scent of his lover, Shinichi nuzzled his head in Kaito's neck. "I'm sorry. I know you're upset. I know you've been putting up with it all this time. I worried you last night. I left you all alone, again. I should have called. I should…"

He was interrupted as Kaito took hold of his chin. He pulled it up so he was left staring right into his enchanting indigo eyes. "God Shinichi. Stop. It's not your fault." He began. "I was just…I was having a bad day." Kaito uttered as he looked away. His boyfriend was lost in thought and Shinichi wished he could see what was going on in his head.

"You want to talk about it?" Shinichi asked. Kaito slowly looked back at him, broke out into a small smile and shook his head. "Nah. It doesn't matter."

Shinichi frowned at that. What was Kaito keeping from him? "Of course it matters. If it didn't matter then you wouldn't have acted that way." He reasoned.

Kaito let out a chuckle and rubbed his thumb across his cheek. "Don't worry. It doesn't matter anymore." Shinichi wanted to prod further but one look at Kaito's serene face told him not to. If Kaito wanted to drop it then he would. For now at least.

Kaito's shoulders relaxed as he saw that Shinichi wasn't going to push the topic. It was better this way. Shinichi would probably be ticked off by his crazy accusations. Kaito then placed a quick peck on Shinichi's lips. "How are you even awake? I didn't think it was possible for you to get up by yourself at this hour." He amusedly jeered.

Shinichi rolled his eyes. "I think I finished a whole pot of coffee just to keep awake." Kaito laughed and Shinichi relished the sound of his voice.

Kaito hummed as his thumb rubbed circles into Shinichi's shoulder. Giving out a sigh, he pecked his cheek once more and stayed to whisper in his ear. "I've got to get to class. How about the two of us have dinner out tonight? To make-up last night?" he smiled.

Shinichi felt his smile drop. Damn. Closing his eyes in frustration Shinichi apologized. "Sorry Kaito. I can't tonight." Shinichi internally cursed as he felt the arms around him loosen.

"Oh. Work?" Kaito treaded and Shinichi sighed as he could hear the disappointment in his voice.

"Remember the debate thing? Well we only have one week to prepare so my partner and I are planning to meet up every day. Then I still have police work to do, more cases…" Shinichi explained but as he did so he felt even worse. What was he doing? Wasn't he berating himself just a few minutes ago about not spending enough time with him? Didn't he just spend the night by himself because Kaito felt that he was being neglected?

Kicking himself internally Shinichi was about to tell Kaito that he was going to cancel when Kaito spoke up, successfully pulling him from his thoughts. "Hmm…how about Saturday night? You usually don't have work on that day right?"

Shinichi looked up at him. Seeing Kaito smiling at him, he felt emotions of gratefulness well up in him. "It can't be helped. I understand that you're busy. You have a lot to do. I just hope you leave Saturday night open." Kaito shrugged at him like it really wasn't a problem.

Shinichi quickly pulled Kaito into a kiss. His lips pressed further unto the magician's hopefully conveying the gratefulness and love he had for him. Feeling the delicious tingle on his lips Shinichi was truly glad that Kaito was his. How did he get so lucky?

Realizing that Kaito had to get to class soon, Shinichi begrudgingly pulled away as he stared into Indigo eyes twinkling back at him. "Saturday it is."


Shinichi was in a good mood that Saturday afternoon. He had a good sleep last night, curled up to Kaito. The past week had been stressful, that was for sure.

Due to all the workload he's been given, he would usually go straight to bed the moment he got home. However no matter what time he got back, Kaito was always in bed, giving him the greeting kiss he needed. Sleeping next to Kaito always made his nights better.

The problem however was that due to his tired disposition he hasn't been able to talk to Kaito much let alone partake in their usual nightly escapades. But finally the glorious Saturday had arrived and he wasn't going to go to work tonight. He had even begged Hakuba and Hattori to take whatever emergency cases would pop up later tonight. Which was a double win for him because while it meant that his schedule was freed up it also meant that Kaito and he had the apartment all to themselves. Knowing this, Shinichi suggested that instead of eating out the two would spend some quality time alone in the apartment which was much more intimate than a restaurant and much closer to a bed.

Shinichi couldn't wait for tonight where he would finally catch up with his favorite phantom thief. He missed his banters with him and their conversations. And while he would never admit it to Kaito he also missed their more heated past times. Shinichi was aching to have the bonding time he sorely needed.

With tonight's plans in his head, Shinichi was humming to himself, not caring if it was off-key. Going through another chapter he easily scribbled down information on his notes. Not even tiring research could pull him down.

"Is it safe to say that you had a good day?"

Shinichi broke into a smile as he looked up at the tawny haired student sitting across him. He was amusedly watching Shinichi, as the detective quickly zoomed from chapter to chapter. Shinichi freely twirled the pencil in his hand as he answered "Yeah. Or more like I'm hoping to have a good night."

The student across him raised an eyebrow behind his rectangular glasses. "Excited about work are you? Is it another closed room murder case? Ooh! A serial killer?" Shinichi rolled his eyes at him. "Very funny Kikuchi. I have you know I'm not even working tonight." Shinichi said smugly.

Kikuchi gave a mock gasp. "The great Kudou, the Heisei Holmes is taking a break? It's unheard of!"

Shinichi clicked his tongue. "Don't get cocky. Just because we've spent the past few days working on this debate doesn't mean you instantly know everything about me."

For Shinichi, Kikuchi Yushin was definitely an interesting character. For some reason it was easy talking to him and he made the hours of debate research bearable. It was also surprising to know that Kikuchi never minded when he talked about murder cases. Even if it were the cases that would usually irk people away. Kikuchi turned out to be just good company.

Putting his hands up in defense. Kikuchi responded "Fine fine. I'm kidding. But hey! Since you don't have work as a reason to blow me off tonight, how about we catch dinner?"

Shinichi scowled at that. "I don't ditch you on purpose. I honestly have work to do. And with regards to your invitation, I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline because I actually have a date tonight."

Kikuchi's face dropped a bit at his statement which went unnoticed by the blue-eyed detective who checked his watch. "Oh! A date? With your magician boyfriend right?" Kikuchi asked quickly pulling a strained smile.

Shinichi broke into a huge smile as Kikuchi brought up Kaito. God, he wants to see him already. "Yeah. We've made plans to have dinner tonight. It's been some time since we had a chance to just talk and spend time together. No interruptions."

"Well that's great. Your boyfriend sure is a lucky guy." Kikuchi mumbled as he flipped through the book.

Shinichi shrugged a bit and reflexively broke into a small smile. "Well I know one thing for sure. I'm lucky to have him as my boyfriend too."

Kikuchi stopped writing his notes for a moment. "Well isn't that…nice."

Before Shinichi could register his strained tone, Kikuchi spoke up suddenly.

"Oh wait! I just remembered. I have something for you!" Kikuchi exclaimed animatedly as he rummaged through his knapsack on the table.

"What? A present? For what?" Shinichi asked, lost in his thoughts as he tried to recall what the special occasion was. "Did I forget my own birthday again?" Shinichi voiced as he recalled what the date was.

Kikuchi just laughed at him and rolled his eyes. "Ok first, that's just depressing. You should really try remembering it one day. And no, it's not because it's your birthday. It's just a random present because when I found out about it, you instantly came to mind." Pulling out an envelope from his bag he presented it to Shinichi. "Think of it as a 'Thank You' for being a great partner and as a promise that the two of us will hang out soon."

Shinichi looked at him for a second at a lost as to what to do when Kikuchi shook his head. "Come on. No need to choke up into tears. Open it." He shook the envelope at the cow-lick haired student.

Shinichi gingerly took the envelope and gave it a once-over. Opening it, he felt his breath hitch as he stared at the gold font printed on the deep purple slips of paper. "A Sherlock Holmes convention?" Shinichi's eyes widened at the tickets. "I didn't even know a convention was coming!" His pulse raced as he skimmed over the details in the tickets. Shinichi knew that his love for Sherlock Holmes wasn't exactly a secret but he wouldn't have expected that Kikuchi would go so far for him. This was just amazing.

"You like it huh?" Kikuchi commented smugly looking at Shinichi's enthralled expression. Breaking into a huge smile, Shinichi snapped his eyes to look back at the bespectacled student. "Like it? I love it! How did you even get these?"

Kikuchi shrugged like it was no big deal. "My sister is dating a guy who organizes the event."

Shinichi looked at him with gratefulness in his eyes. At a lost to what he should say, Shinichi began "Kikuchi…wow…this is…well I don't know how to thank you."

Kikuchi brightened up. "Well I do. As you probably noticed there are two tickets and like I mentioned before this will serve as a promise for the two of us to hang out. All I ask is that I get to accompany you when you go to the convention."

Shinichi didn't think twice as he agreed to the conditions. "Sure! I mean is that it. Isn't there any other way to repay you? As in this is…this is too much." After all, he had only gotten close to debate partner this week. It was really just incredible how he had gone out of the way just to give him something like this.

Kikuchi smiled. "Just knowing that we won't stay strangers after this debate is all I need."

Shinichi's face dropped at that statement. "What are you talking about? You think I would just drop you like that?" He shook his head at his classmates' statement. "If I didn't like you I couldn't have possibly survived the week working with you. I thought it was already established that we've become friends."

And Shinichi meant it. It really was hard to find a friend these days. Most of them were intimidated by what he did. Most thought he was cursed. Others just wanted his friendship because he was famous. It was hard finding decent friends. Shinichi was genuinely happy that he got to meet someone who he thinks could join his small circle.

After what he said, the boy sitting across him glanced at him for a second. Making sure Shinichi that didn't see, Kikuchi then gave a small scowl as he mumbled out. "Yeah. Friends."


Shinichi's stomach grumbled as he smelled the scents coming from the kitchen. It was nice having a home-made meal for once. Shinichi realized that it's been some time since he had a meal in the apartment. His stomach growled once more as he thought about eating Kaito's cooking once again. Surprisingly Kaito was actually good at it. Well…as long as it had nothing to do with fish.

Walking towards the kitchen he stood there as he watched the love of his life go about in the kitchen. Adding a pinch of salt to the stew he was stirring. Tossing the salad he was preparing.

Shinichi felt the stress melt away as he continued to look at him. God why doesn't he schedule dinner dates more often.

"If you're done staring maybe you can help set the table." Kaito nonchalantly commented as he tasted the stew. Shinichi stiffened. Damn. Sometimes he forgets that his boyfriend is Kaitou Kid. It required technique to sneak up on him. Technique that he abandoned the moment he saw him dancing through the kitchen.

Not bothering to defend himself, Shinichi quickly put his stuff down on the couch. Hoping that Kaito wouldn't point out the red flush of his cheeks, he walked towards the cabinets and pulled out the plates and cutlery.

"How was your day?" Kaito asked chirpily as he turned off the stove.

Shinichi hummed as he put everything in place. "It was pretty good actually."

"Oh yeah?" Kaito asked as he placed the food on the table. "What happened?"

Shinichi smiled as he walked towards the indigo-eyed man. He pulled Kaito towards him and gave him a hard kiss on the lips. "You did."


Dinner was great. After so long, Shinichi was able to finally bond with Kaito. They talked about what was going on with them. What new cases popped up? What was Kaito's next target? His dad's new book. Kaito's new magic trick.

The two laughed and enjoyed the meal together. Shinichi mourned the fact that they don't do this enough. His whole being was aching for Kaito. He never realized just how long has it been since he had some time with him. Apparently it was way too long,

After dinner the two found themselves on the couch, lazily conversing with one another. His back leaned back on Kaito's chest, sitting in between Kaito's propped up legs. It felt amazing to have Kaito's voice chime into his ear while he was encased in the other's arms.

"Where did you learn how to cook like that?" Shinichi asked randomly as he remembered the delicious stew he had just eaten.

Kaito merely shrugged back. "I taught myself. I would be alone in the house most of the time. I needed to eat to survive."

"I lived alone too."

"Which is why it still amazes me how you're still alive."

Shinichi gave quick pinch to Kaito's hand. "Haha funny. I can cook enough to survive I have you know. I can do the basics."

Kaito laughed as he kissed his temple as an attempt to placate him. "Ok ok. I understand Mr. Master Chef."

Shinichi rolled his eyes. "I'm surprised that you had time to learn how to cook too. With your night job and your magic, how did you find the time?"

Kaito hummed to himself as he thought about it. "I guess I just made time."

"Why so much effort? Is it also your secret dream to be a world-renowned chef or something?" Shinichi joked as he intertwined their fingers together.

"No. Nothing like that. I learned how to cook better because I wanted to make sure people would enjoy eating it. Give them something nutritious. Especially if they don't eat at all because they're too busy.

Shinichi stopped playing with Kaito's fingers as the implications of Kaito's statements settled in. Shinichi turned so that he was looking at Kaito eye to eye. "Be careful Kaito. Because you're making it sound like you learned how to cook just for me."

Kaito's face didn't waver as he answered back.

"Maybe I did."

Not even a second passed when Shinichi pulled Kaito towards him. The two were pulling each other in. Their lips burning as they melded together. His mouth parting as he allowed Kaito deeper access. His body was aching for Kaito. He needed him. Shinichi's hands then dashed for the ends of Kaito's blouse, ready to pull it off when Kaito's hands held his wrists.

"Did you bolt the door?" Kaito mumbled between kisses. Shinichi couldn't help but groan in frustration. So that's what he forgot.

As Kaito kissed down his neck, Shinichi had half the mind to just leave it unbolted. After all, he was sure that Hakuba and Hattori would stay clear from the apartment for a while. But then…the memories of the time when Hakuba and Hattori accidentally walked in on them still burned into his mind. That was one awkward week and also the reason why they got the bolt installed in the first place.

Cursing the fact that there were other people who owned keys to the door, Shinichi gave a frustrated sigh as he gently pushed Kaito away. Understanding what he was doing, Kaito pulled away for him but not without sneaking three quick kisses on his lips. Feeling his head whirl from the sensation, Shinichi stumbled about. He suddenly cursed as he accidentally pushed his bag off the arm chair as his legs wobbled from their ministrations. Shinichi could only watch as all the items in the bag spilled out, scattering on the floor. Great…

Shinichi was about to bend over to fix it when Kaito shooed him off. "I got it. Go on! Hurry and get the door." Kaito urged Shinichi as he flashed him a sultry smile. Shinichi couldn't help the rush of adrenaline and arousal that coursed through his body. Dashing quickly to the door, Shinichi made sure to slide the chain into the slot. At least the two wouldn't be able to open the door right away and they would have time to get decent. Or they could always go at it in their room…but why not live on the edge?

His body anticipating the sex that he sorely needed, Shinichi quickly turned to Kaito. When Shinichi went back to face his boyfriend he was faced with the sight of Kaito reading something. Shinichi recognized the deep purple of the tickets that must have spilled from his bag.

"A Sherlock Holmes Convention?" Kaito smiled as he read the details. "You never mentioned there was convention. Did you buy them with Hakuba?" Kaito asked charmingly. Shinichi gave a small smile. While he would love to talk to Kaito about the convention, it could wait. There were other things he rather be doing. Like Kaito perhaps.

"Yeah I actually found out today." Shinichi said quickly as he walked towards Kaito and pulled on Kaito's collar to get him to come closer. "My debate partner gave it to me actually. You know, Kikuchi Yushin?" Shinichi then quickly pulled the tickets out of Kaito's hands and leaned in to instigate a kiss when Kaito pulled back.

"Wait… hold on. Your debate partner gave you this?" Kaito said as the phantom thief quickly placed his arms on his shoulders and pushed him back. Shinichi raised his eyebrows at that. They were still on this topic? "Umm…yeah. I believe I just established that fact." Shinichi said as he rolled his eyes.

"Why?" Kaito asked as he stared back at him. Shinichi felt the irritation build up in him. Seriously? Does he really want to be talkative now? Now? When they were about to have amazing sex in the living room.

"I don't know. He said it was just a present." Shinichi said and quickly pushed Kaito unto the sofa. Crawling over him he hoped to bring Kaito back to the matter at hand. "Can this wait? You do realize you're delaying something important here."

Kaito then pushed Shinichi back once again so he could stay within his view. Shinichi did not appreciate that whatsoever. "So wait. He just gave it to you just like that. No payments? No favors."

Shinichi wanted to growl out his annoyance. One of the rare times that he was practically asking for it and Kaito pushes it away? Kaito. The same Kaito who tries to jump on him every chance he gets.

Why the hell does he keep bringing this topic up?

Fueled by his sexual frustration, Shinichi shot Kaito a small glare and groaned out "Look. The only favor he asked for was that he could accompany me to the convention. That's it! Can we go back to what we were doing before?" Shinichi was about to lean down to nip on Kaito's ear when, Kaito sat up suddenly. Shinichi almost fell off Kaito's lap and he steadied himself by finding support on the armrest of the couch.

"You're bringing him to the convention? Just the two of you?" Kaito barked and Shinichi could see his indigo eyes blaze full of emotions. Shinichi however was at wit's end.

"You can't be serious? You want to talk about this now?" I don't know about you but I swore we were just about to have a round on the couch!" Shinichi berated as he felt irritation burn at him. It has been weeks after all and Shinichi had to admit that he was really feeling the effects of being deprived from his boyfriend's touch. Especially if your boyfriend is as skilled as Kaito.

"Did you agree!?" was all Kaito answered back. His shoulders stiff and his eyes watching him attentively. Shinichi could only sigh back tiredly. The sooner this topic is over the quicker they get back to their ministrations. Why Kaito was so interested into this topic was beyond him. "Well yeah. That was the only thing he asked for so I agreed."

Shinichi waited for more questions from Kaito but after a few seconds Kaito remained quiet just looking at him. Shinichi squirmed as indigo eyes burned into him, as if he was studying him. What the hell was going on?

"Look. I don't understand why you're suddenly interested about this convention but obviously I can see something is bothering you." Shinichi sighed. "How about we talk about it."

Kaito looked at him for another second till he took a deep breath. "Sorry…I…no…It's nothing."

Shinichi bit his cheek. Nothing once again. Kaito is definitely hiding something from him. Not convinced one bit Shinichi was about to prod the moonlight thief when Kaito shook his head. "Don't let it trouble you Shin-chan." Kaito gave him a small smile. "Nothing to worry about."

Shinichi opened his mouth once again when Kaito pleaded. "Please."

Shinichi bit his lip. Fine. He'll humor Kaito until later. "If you insist then." Shinichi conceded. Kaito broke into a smile and gave Shinichi a searing kiss on the lips.

Feeling the lust build up in him again Shinichi gasped out in bliss.

"How about we continue where we left off?" Shinichi said as he clambered towards Kaito once again. Man he really shouldn't have put this off for so long. His body was practically begging for Kaito's touch.

Just when Shinichi was about to place himself comfortably on Kaito's lap he felt Kaito stiffen. Before Shinichi could comment, Kaito had suddenly stood up from the couch. "I just realized I have something to do." Kaito quickly sputtered out as he briskly walked toward his room.

Not understanding what was going on, Shinichi spent a few seconds looking at the empty space before him. Wait what? "What do you mean you have something to do!?" Shinichi spat as he sharply turned towards the magician who was already opening the door to his room. "What the hell do you need to do? I thought both of us made sure that we cleared our schedule!" Shinichi huffed as he stood up to glare at Kaito.

"Sorry." Kaito said quietly his back still turned away from him. "I just remembered that I have to do something. It's really important."

Shinichi knew bullshit when he heard it. He was about to shout at him to get back here when Kaito entered his room and shut the door on him.

At a loss as to what just occurred, Shinichi just stared blankly at Kaito's closed door. He couldn't help but feel multiple emotions such as frustration, anger and confusion all boiling up inside of him. Was it possible? Did Kaito just blow him off?

This was definitely not how he wanted the night to go. Far from it.

"What the fuck just happened?" Shinichi voiced out into the now empty living room.
