Chapter Two: The Sound

Kaito was happily walking along the streets one fine, Saturday afternoon. He decided to go to his favorite cafe to have his lunch. Suddenly, while he was a little near to that cafe, he heard a sound of a piano. Then, he listened to it carefully. He recognized the song! That song was quite famous in Japan. Then, he was curious to where was the sound come from. He kept listening to the song and followed its direction. Then, as he kept walking, the sound become louder and louder. Then, he stopped.

He looked at his right, just to see the pianist that he befriended yesterday night, the young pianist, 'Conan Edogawa'. And where was he playing? Of course! It was at Kaito's favorite cafe. My, Kaito was surprised when he realized that. His face turned red a little. Then, he went inside.

As he went inside, the shop's waitress greeted him at the entrance.

"Welcome, Kaito-kun!" the waitress said.

From a distance, the pianist heard this. He stopped playing and approached the slightly red-faced teenager.

The teenager noticed the pianist approaching him.

"Well, then, Misa-chan," Kaito said nervously. "I'll be going to my seat now. "

The waitress was surprised about Kaito's strange behavior, even the pianist.

As Kaito sat on his usual seat in his usual table, the waitress who greeted him gave him a menu. Kaito took a look on it. But, unbeknownst to him, Conan was actually looking at him, or should I rather say, 'watching him'. Then, he secretly sat on the other chair facing Kaito.

Kaito closed the menu and gave to the waitress, looking at her.

"I would like to order a cup of coffee, a glass of juice, and two Strawberry Shortcakes, please?" he said to the waitress.

"I understand." the waitress said. She left with the menu Kaito used.

Kaito sighed in relief but, he heard a voice.

"Wow! That's quite surprising!" the voice said.

Kaito was startled and almost fell out of his chair. Then, he looked at the direction of the voice. And much to his surprise, it was the 'already-seated' pianist, with his bored eyes staring at Kaito.

"Wh-What are you doing here?" Kaito stammered in surprise. "You're a famous pianist! What are you doing here playing a piano? And, why is it have to be in my favorite cafe!?"

The pianist snickered. "Of course, I have to! And, most of the people don't know me because, I'm disguised. But I'm playing here because I realized that every Saturday afternoon, you usually go to this cafe to have your lunch."

"And, how did you know this was the place?"

"I visited this cafe once because I was curious when you told me that you have a favorite cafe to visit during Saturday afternoon. And out of curiosity, I checked all the cafes around this street. And when I personally showed the waitress your picture, she easily recognized you, telling me that you are their usual customer."

"So, that's why you decided to play the piano this afternoon, just waiting for me and for seeing me?"

"Isn't it obvious? Also, how did you know that I was here? And, why do you have to order me some food?"

"First, not quite. Second, I had a feeling. And third, yep! Since I know that you might be tired for playing the piano...That's why."

The pianist was surprised from Kaito's words. Suddenly, the waitress brought their order. Kaito quickly gave the bill to the waitress and she left.

Then, they started eating their lunch. It was silent, and Kaito noticed this. While he was thinking of a perfect way to make his lunch livelier, he noticed that there are some cake crumbs on the pianist's cheek. Then, he thought of a plan. A perfect plan.

Kaito sighed with a smirk on his face. "My!" he said. "Even though you're famous, you're still like a little boy. Look at the mess you made on you cheek." he added, pointing to the pianist's cheek.

The pianist looked at his cheek. He did noticed it.

"It's OK." he said. "I'll clean it myself."

"Oh no! Let me. Since, you're famous, and I'm a mere student, I'll do it." Kaito insisted, with a smirk on his face.

But, instead of using the napkin on the table, Kaito licked the pianist's cheek, cleaning the 'mess the pianist's made'. the pianist's blushed hardly. After 'cleaning', Kaito looked at the pianist's shocked and red face. He smiled evilly and kissed the boy to the lips and used his napkin as a cover so that no one can see...their kiss.

As they break apart, Kaito smiled. "That cake was delicious.", he said.

"Sh-Shut up..." the pianist said shyly.

From that day on, the pair's bond grew deeper, friends into...wait! What!? Isn't the boy to young for that kind of relationship? Anyway, we'll found out at the very next chapter.

(The worst ending sentence ever...But yeah, that's true! I haven't think about it, anyway.)
