Better or Best?

Disclaimer: Magic Kaito is not mine. It belongs to Aoyama Gosho!

motzKID: It's KaitoxAoko time! Let's explore on the weird-slash-funny-slash-sweet relationship of a boy who is afraid of fish and a girl who loves swing mops everywhere!

She sat down on her seat, tired and almost catching her breath, as if drowning. She felt dizzy as she folded her arms and rested her head on it, practically taking a nap on her table. She sat up again, trying NOT to worry anyone.

But unfortunately, she couldn't get pass by her childhood friend's wits. She felt his forehead against her, "K-Kaito?" she mumbled dryly.

"Hey, you're sick! Why're you in school?" he asked.

Aoko tried to smile, "I'm perfectly fine, Kaito," she coughed a little.

"I don't think so, Nakamori-san," Hakuba said, folding his arms, standing beside Kaito.

"I'm fine," Aoko smiled, "see?" she stretched her arms but then, it weakened , hitting it on the table, "ow," she mumbled but still tried to smile.

But before kaito could protest, the bell rang. Class is starting.

CLASS HOURS..

Kaito kept glancing to Aoko, who was trying to keep herself awake. Her eyelids were drooping but Kaito could see her pinching her arms. Kaito, who sat diagonally behind her, couldn't concentrate, knowing she was sick. Should he tell the teacher? Naw, she would just deny it. Typical of her.

Suddenly, he saw her falling off her seat. He immediately stood up, catching everyone's attention as he caught her in his arms. She was breathing hard and fast, her cheeks were red and she was sweating a lot.

"What's wrong, Nakamori-san? Kuroba-kun?" the teacher asked.

"Sensei, Aoko's sick, can I take her home, now?" he asked.

"N-No," Aoko, who regained her strength a bit, sat down on her seat, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me," she smiled.

"Nakamori-san, I suggest you go home," the teacher said, "Kuroba-kun, please accompany her," she said.

Aoko sighed and took her things but Kaito took it instead and lightly pulled her by the wrist.

"You can still walk, right?"

"I told you, Kaito. I'm fine," she insisted.

"Then, why did you collapsed in the middle of Math Class?"

"I was sleepy, that's all," she coughed.

"You're dad's out, right? I better take care of you," he said, wrapping his arms around her.

"Why are you doing these things to me? You seem so kind to me today," she smirked a little.

"Because," he smiled at her, "tomorrow won't be the same without you, swinging mops and chasing me."

Kaito opened the Nakamori residence and laid her on the couch as he placed their things by the stairway. He snapped and a small towel appeared on his hand as he took a basin in the bathroom. He filled it with warm water and brought it with him.

He kneeled beside the sick girl and soaked the towel with warm water as he placed t on her forehed. He kneeled there, staring at her beautiful face as she breathed hard. She smiled a little, "why are you looking at me?" she asked.

"Nothing," he blushed.

"Stare all you want because I don't have the strength to hit again.you right now," she chuckled.

He smiled softly as he soaked the small towel again and placed it on her forehead.

After he prepared her dinner (don't ask how), she ate it (but didn't feel any better) and then, she laid down again.

"Thank a lot, Kaito," she smiled, she was feeling a bit better.

"It's nothing…," he blushed a little.

Suddenly, she sat up and pat the seat beside her, "seat with me," she smiled.

Kaito was surprised but sat anyway. As he sat there, she tilted her head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her, "that's better," she smiled, closing her eyes.

He hugged her tighter, almos possesively as he sighed, "better?" he asked.

"Best," she smiled and squirmed under his arms. Her arms looping around his chest, hugging him like a teddy bear.

He tucked her hair behind her ear, lightly tilting his head on hers as he closed his eyes. He could feel her heart against his right side of his chest.

She could feel his warmth as she smiled. He kissed her forehead, "no need for words?"

"Nah, actions are better," she smiled, her eyes still closed.

"If we get caught?"

"Let them be, Kaito," she smiled.

"Then, how about this…?"

Aoko looked up and all of a sudden, their lips met. She kissed back tenderly as he slowly pulled away.

"Thaaaat's better," she said, hugging him again.

"Best," he smiled.

"Best kisser? I don't think so," she sighed, resting her head on his chest.

"want me to prove it?" he smirked.

"I'm sick, Kaito. Want me to pass the suds?" she smiled.

"I know you want to," he grinned.

She sighed with a chuckle and kissed him on the cheeks, "no way," she smiled.

"Aww, last one?" he sat up but didn't let go of her.

He held her chin up and kissed her again. She sighed and giggled between their kiss. He pulled back, "better?" he smirked, knowing her answer would be.

"Better…," she smiled.

He frowned, "better, only? You can rate it higher, right?"

"Better…," she continued and looked at him, "than best," she smiled and hugged him again.

"Better than best? Is that possible?" he asked.

"Let me sleep, Kaito," she chuckled.

THE NEXT DAY…

"So, you seem cheerful today," Akako smiled at Aoko.

"Oh, yes. Kaito took care of me pretty well," Aoko smiled.

"Oh?"

"Yep, we even had a contest on who better and who is best."

"who won?"

"Kaito, of course! He's better than best!" Aoko smiled cheerfully and hummed a song.

"Oh? Better than best on what?"

"…something," Aoko smiled with a blush.
