Kaito'sPOV

The magician squirmed slightly. He was nervous. He was very nervous. It was a new feeling for Kaito and he didn't like it.

He was confident in everything he did. In magic, school, love, thievery. He silently ticked the items off with his fingers. So why was he so insanely nervous right now?

'It's just a question Kaito.' He reminded himself once again. 'An important question yes. But still just a question.'

Shinichi walked into the restaurant and waved when he saw him. Kaito groaned loudly. It really didn't help that his partner looked so utterly breathe taking tonight.

Shinichi walked over to him and pulled out a chair at the small table.

"Why are we going out to dinner? It's not a special occasion is it?" Shinichi did a mental check to see if he forgot his birthday again.

"Are you saying I need an excuse to take you out to dinner?" He asked with a strained grin. Shinichi saw his expression and frowned.

'He's getting way too good at reading my pokerface.' Kaito thought and swore silently.

"Well I'm certainly not complaining." His detective said smiling. Kaito smiled back, genuinely this time. He loved Shinichi's smiles.

"Can I take you orders please?" A waitress asked surprising them. They both glanced at the menu quickly and placed an order.

The waitress walked back toward the kitchen and out of sight. She came back after a few minutes with their drinks.

Once she was gone they made small talk until their dinner arrived. Another waitress walked up with they're plates and slide them onto the table. New conversation, still more small talk.

'We've been dating for nearly a year, this is ridiculous!' Kaito thought. 'Well it is my fault I suppose. I'm not being very sociable. I'm too nervous.'

When they were done they made their way to the door and Kaito paid the bill. The car ride home was painfully silent.

He stopped in front of the house to let Shinichi out and pulled the car into the garage. He cursed himself for making this evening so agonizing.

He opened the door to the house and quietly went up to the library. He looked around in surprise. Shinichi wasn't there.

He wandered into the living room and then went to the bedroom. No Shinichi. Kaito started to panic.

'Did I do something? Never mind, stupid question. What didn't I do?' Kaito thought as he slumped in a chair. Then he remembered.

The room where he had first made a move on Shinichi and failed completely. He ran through the East wing to the tapestry he knew concealed the hidden entrance.

He tugged the tapestry aside and felt around for the switch. It made a click and the door moved aside. Kaito rushed inside and glanced around.

There were shadows cloaking the room, making it hard to see clearly.

"Shinichi?" He called softly knowing his detective would hear him.

"Kaito?" Came the surprised voice and a light flickered on illuminating Shinichi's confused face. Kaito let his relief show on his face.

"I'm sorry." He said quietly. Shinichi looked even more confused.

"For what?"

"For ruining your evening?" Shinichi walked up and wrapped his arms around the magician. Kaito hesitated before doing the same.

"You didn't ruin my evening. Though I can't imagine why on earth you were nervous." Shinichi raised an eyebrow and waited for a reply.

Kaito gave a small sigh and slowly pulled away from his detective.

'It's now or never.' He thought and crossed his fingers. He felt in his coat pocket for the small box he knew was there.

He was slightly alarmed when he couldn't find it immediately and relaxed when his fingers closed around it the smooth wooden surface. He pulled the box out and dropped to one knee.

He took a deep breath.

"Kudo Shinichi will you marry me?" He asked. Shinichi stared at him blankly, and then blushed as he realized what had just taken place.

Shinichi stuttered from several minutes before giving a clear reply.

"Gladly." Shinichi said and Kaito grinned so wide his cheeks hurt. He jumped to his feet and pulled Shinichi into a tight embrace.

He was still in a daze from the extreme happiness he was experiencing. He briefly wondered how he had gotten so lucky.

He heard a muffled voice and looked down. Oops. He was smothering Shinichi. He let go quickly if reluctantly. His detective gasped slightly and tried to re-gain his breath.

"So…" Kaito said conversationally. "Who's telling Ran and Aoko?"


AN:Well it's kind of short but there's no helping it. I was originally planning to make this a one-shot but I want to do Ran and Aoko's reaction :)

Btw for those of you who read Moonlight Madness AN's I did say that I wasn't going to continue that story because I ran out of ideas but I found my secret Idea stash hidden deep within my brain.

I already loved the ending of the other story so I decided to start a new sequel ^_^ I already have the ending planned!

This is going to be so fun! I hope you enjoy the story!
