Declaimer: I don´t own Detective Conan
The person I like is a liar.
"Good morning everyone!" A loud voice stated quite happily as its owner, a tall, eighteen years old senior with sparkling azure eyes entered the room, his face as always spotting a huge grin that didn´t quite reach his eyes.
The person I like is a fake.
"Hey there, Kuroba. Did you bring the CD I asked you? My sis has been asking about it…" Quickly classmates surrounded the messy black haired teen, and soon the room was filled with laughter, as he told them stories, showed magic, and continued to grin as always.
The routine was always the same. Kuroba Kaito came in exactly five minutes earlier, no more no less, made his way across the room while giving each of his classmates a chance to talk to him, stopping from time to time to give or answer something he had been asked. He would smile without fail, produce beautiful roses for the girls, before swiftly making his way to his desk seconds until the teacher came.
The person I like is a show off.
"Kuroba Kaito!" Their new teacher yelled as the room was suddenly filled with paper planes, and a certain magician was grinning from ear to ear. "How many times have I told you not to mess with the class? Other teachers may allow it, but I will have none of it, young man!"
Kuroba only smiled even more as the papers planes exploded, and the classroom was filled with falling beautifully warped blue chocolates. A white dove came out of nowhere, fluttering its feathery wings, heading towards the startled teacher, before disappearing away in a puff of smoke while leaving behind a simple white box with a single blue ribbon.
"My, my, dear Kono-sensei, did you really believe I would forget your birthday?" All eyes were on him, and it clearly made him happy, as he bowed deeply to the teacher. "Happy birthday."
And yet he is so kind.
"Did someone see a neckless?" A classmate asked half in tears as she ran into the classroom, cheeks rosy as she tried to calm herself down. "A small neckless with a red flower? Someone?"
"Oi, Yui-chan, what´s wrong?" Kuroba asked immediately as he took in her state, his eyes softening just the tiniest bit.
"My… my neckless…" The girl was fighting the need to cry, but it wasn´t working too well, and soon teardrops were rolling down her face. "My m-mom gave me as a g-gift before she l-left J-japan and… and I lost it!" More tears followed, as her sadness overtook her.
"Shhh, it´s going to be alright." Strong arms pulled her into a hug, allowing her to cry out her sadness. "We are going to find it. Don´t worry, I remember it. With my army of doves, we´ll have it back before you know it. Everything is going to be alright."
He is depressed.
"Calm down everyone! This next part is important…"
Kuroba had done another trick, and it was time for him to calm down, as he finally reached his pranking quota for the day.
As no one paid him attention, the messy haired teen stumped into his chair, his eyes momentarily losing their sparkle. All of the sudden all the happiness as gone, replaced with immensurable pain and sadness. But no one noticed, no one could bring themselves to notice that something was wrong with the teen. No one had the time for him…
The person I like is a liar. The person I like is a fake. The person I like is a show off. And yet he is so kind. He is depressed.
The person I like… no one knows him. No one notices who the person I like really is.
"Did you see Kuroba today?" A classmate asked another, frowning slightly. "He seemed slightly off… I mean, he wasn´t smiling and had this intense emotion on his face… You think something happened?"
"Na, he must have eaten something bad. Forget about that. There is this girl I like…"
The person I like is broken; he lost so much in his life. The person I like has many faces, so many he himself sometimes doesn´t recognize which is real and which is not. He keeps acting, again and again, unable to find a place to really fit it.
The person I like is sarcastic.
"My, my, Meitantei, I though you wouldn´t come tonight." The moonlight magician stated as he turned around gracefully, the sapphire gem in his hands twinkling under the moonlight. "Did you miss me so much?"
The person I like is addicted to danger.
Kaito Kid jumped from the roof, his expression as composed as ever, while azure eyes narrowed in slight fear. He had not planned to jump this way, he had wanted to disguise and exit between others, but as he was pushed into a corner, he had no other choice. The stakes were high, the wind was rather strong that night, but even so, he took his chances, flying away on his white wings.
He is arrogant, mysterious, cocky, intelligent… he is a thief and he is proud of it.
The person I like isn´t normal. And yet I like him this way. Both part of his life, all his masks and quirks.
The person I like is a thief.
"Kaito Kid stole the infamous Blue Diamond."
"Kaito Kid is wanted in 30 countries all across the world."
The person I like is my classmate, a magician.
"Kuroba, hurry up I don´t have all day."
"Kaito, can you show me that trick again? I would love to learn it… my mom would love it."
The person I like is Kuroba Kaito.
No one knows him better than me. No one understands him the way I do… no one loves him more than me.
"Shinichi, what are you staring at?" A cute girl with asked her friend that was staring at the resident troublemaker Kuroba Kaito, smiling slightly as the gaze was redirected her way. It was the third time she caught her staring at him in a month, and considering Shinichi paid attention to no one, it was a lot.
"I am looking at Kaito." She answered simply, lifting her head from her hand as she stood up. Ran blinked, not having expected that. "I am always looking at Kaito."
Without thinking, the long haired beauty with startling blue eyes made her way towards Kuroba Kaito, who was at the moment talking with someone, almost rudely demanding his attention. The boy blinked, tensing up just the slightest bit, as their eyes crossed.
"I am always looking at you." She said, not moving her eyes away. "I know that you are a liar, I know about your masks, about your sadness, about your kindness…" Kuroba gulped, unable to move as if a spell held him in place. "You were right; I came because I missed you. I do not care about the gems; I was never interested in them in the first place. You, however, were a rather mysterious puzzle and I couldn´t stop until I solved it…"
Kaito wanted to run away, she could see by how he tensed, but she would have none of that. Ignoring the looks she was getting, the murmurs and comments, she took another step towards him.
"I know who you are, what you have done and what you plan to do. I know of your dreams and fears. I want to help you. I want to be there for you, any time you need. To take the fear away." Someone screamed, or was it shirked?, but she couldn´t care less. "Kuroba Kaito, you are the person I love. Go out with me."
