NOTE: Migi doesn't exist in the story. He's not a part of Shinichi. He's just a normal teenage boy caught up in trouble with Kazuki because of Maruno.

Also, he doesn't have the glasses or the nerdy look he used to have even though his new look was all because of Migi lol

Turning the corner on the street near his house, Shinichi saw Kazuki from a distance leaning against the wall near the gate to his house, arms crossed and a unwelcoming look on his face. He was sure he was just waiting for someone else, and the two of them meeting in a place like this was just a coincidence.

Looking at the ground as he got closer, he walked past Kazuki as fast as he could not wanting any trouble from him today.

Reaching the gate, he sighed a little, glad to know he didn't stop him.

"Hey! Don't just walk past me like I don't exist!" Shinichi stopped and gulped so big it could have choked him, with his hands trembling against the gates handle. Turning around, he looked at him, avoiding immediate eye contact and forced a smile at the lawless Kazuki.

"Uh...Sorry! I didn't know you were waiting for me"

"I wasn't waiting for you. Don't flatter yourself, but I do want to talk to you"

"Talk? I'm kind of busy right now" He knew this was bad. Very bad. An excuse had to be made. The only time he ever wanted to talk to him was when he was infuriated at how close he and Maruno were getting, resulting in him baring a body full of bruises and scars as a reminder that Kazuki meant business about the two of their progressing relationship. Today, he seemed to be in that familar foul mood.

"Stop making excuses. I'm not going to hurt you today. I just want to talk" Leaning off the wall, he walked closer to Shinichi and reached a hand out towards his shirt. Shinichi's body immediately jerked back away from him.

"What? I told you I have no intentions on hurting you. loosen up a bit" He's said he wouldn't hurt him one too many times to let it slide this time. His play on words are what broke all trust between the two since the beginning. Saying things like "I just want to talk" or "I'm not going to hurt you" weren't going to fool him this time. Those were just his ways to lure him into his trap of hurt, letting him do what he wanted as he was caught off guard.

"What makes you think I can trust you now?" Backing away from him.

"You don't have to trust me, but I'm being honest. Scouts honor. Now, are you going to let me in so we can talk or are you just going to leave me out here?"

"We can talk right here. There's no telling what you would do if we were alone" There was no way he could let him in his house.

"You really don't trust me do you? Just let me in, it's hot out" But, maybe he was telling the truth this time? But, then again, that's what he thought every time he said things so smoothly to him.

"Look. If I wanted a fight I would have called you out somewhere more fitting than this. I have no intentions on causing trouble in your parents home"

"Fine. Just don't touch anything...or me" Once again, he was persuaded and blinded by his smooth talk.

They both walked in the house, Shinichi leading him to the living room pointed at the couch.

"You can sit here, and I'll get us something to drink"

"Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. Just hurry up"

Moments later, he returned with cooling refreshments. Each sipping their glasses, they sat in a room of silence.

"If this is about Maruno, me and her are just friends. There is nothing going on between us. I keep telling you this, but you refuse to believe me" He spoke quietly, scared that her name would set him off, but he said he wouldn't hurt him. So far, he's kept his word.

"I don't want to hear her name come out of your mouth again! I don't want you to spend time with her! I want you to forget about everything you two have! She's not for you!" Kazuki balled his fist up, clenching the glass tightly. Shinichi was worried he might break his promise, so he made sure to keep his guard up this time.

"I get that you like her, but there really isn't anything between me and Maruno. I don't think of her like that"

"Stop! Stop saying her name! Don't lie to me! If you didn't feel anything for her, you wouldn't spend so much time with her. I see the way you smile at her, the way you look at her. It pisses me off!" His body seemed to shake as he clenched into the glass.

"Kazuki...I've already told you, we only share a friendship. If you are after her, then I won't mind at all" This was true. He never thought of her in that way. She was his bestfriend, and was considered nothing but a sister to him. People sometimes would mistake their friendship as more than casual because of how close they were, but the two of them didn't think of the other in any other way than friends.

"She's not the one I like! This isn't about her!" Kazuki slammed his glass down and walked to the door.

"Wait! Stop! If this isn't about her, then why are you so angry?" He ran up to him and pulled him away from the door before he could try and leave. If this wasn't about her, then that meant...

Wow. Such a small fandom XD Kazuki wasn't even an option for a character lmao I had to use another character as a replacement
