"inside every person you know is a person you don't know"
Shinichi watched as the group of people around her sat on the benches to eat their lunch,all of them talking to their friends and laughing feeling way too excited because finally they had a break unlike him who hated breaks so much
He was forced to fake a smile and pretend like nothing is wrong whenever someone came and greeted him or talked to him for a little
He only loved the days when he can sit alone in silence with no one with him because he won't have to pretend just so they don't ask him questions
So there he sat on a bench with his lunch, A salad and A small sandwich so he can only avoid the comments about how he doesn't eat properly anymore
He stared at his food as he wished for the school day to end already so he can go home and look at some file cases, it became a routine for him
Wake up, then go to school, then he will come home and look at some file cases, then he will send them back to Inspector Megure , then he will study his lessons everyday
He and Kaito barely spoke anymore,they are not hanging out at all and Actually he didn't blame Kaito , it was his fault that he pushed the magician away but he refused to talk about the fight or even resolve it because the only way to do that is to tell Kaito the truth and he didn't want that…he didn't need pity
Even though the drifted away from each other he knows Kaito is keeping an eye on him and he was worried that he starting to get suspicious but he kept his cool like nothing is happening or that will attract the attention of the magician
He still remembers the day when his magician asked if he is okay and invited him for lunch and he refused , the magician was trying to get answers which made Shinichi snap…he didn't want to but he couldn't help it which resulted for them to have a huge fight
he swore that their screams could be heard from Canada
When he grew tired of looking at his uneaten food he just threw it in the trash, took his bag and decided to skip school today…it's not like one day will affect him he will just say he started feeling sick and needed to rest
On his way to the subway station he felt dizzy and he knew it was from all the work and the little amount of food he eats everyday (if he even ate anything) so he stopped for a few seconds and closed his eyes tightly
When he opened them he noticed Inspector Megure with officer Takagi and officer Sato with him and he deduced a murder had happened
Failing in keeping his curious side he walked to Inspector Megure
"Megure-Keibu?" and the inspector turned around
"Ah Kudo-Kun what are you doing here? Don't you have School?" The Inspector asked confused
"Yeah I was feeling sick So I decided to go home" The detective lied biting his lip
"So what happened?" The detective asked and The inspector began to explain everything to him and showed him the suspects
The detective went and examined the body carefully trying not to touch anything when he stood up straight again he felt another rush of dizziness and he leaned on a tree beside him quickly while his head with his hands
'I am fine I am fine' he kept telling himself
"Kudo-Kun are you okay?" He heard someone ask and recognized at as Officer Sato
"W..what? Oh yes I am fine" He answered and stood up right
"Kudo-Kun maybe you should go back home you look pale" She told him concerned but he just shook his head and smiled
"It's okay" He wasn't okay,he knew he wasn't but he couldn't tell her that
She looked unconvinced but dropped the subject much to Shinichi's relief and went back to Inspector Megure
"He refuses to go home" Officer Sato told the inspector who sighed looking at the detective in pity… He was like his son and he really cared for him but he noticed that the detective didn't care for his health anymore he doesn't smile anymore and he became paler every time he sees him and it pained him to see him like that
He was always happier since he met Kuroba-Kun , he would smile all the time whenever the magician came to visit him he would sometimes excuse himself and go and hang out with him, the magician even left his number with the inspector and the officers so if anything happened to Shinichi they even call each other by their first names he would be the first to know and it was the happiest he had ever seen the detective
And he didn't know what happened he didn't know what has changed,The magician never visits anymore the detective is always deep in his thoughts
His thoughts was cut off when he saw the detective sitting on the bench with his head between his hands
The inspector didn't take it anymore and called the one who thought he can help his detective
"Hello? Megure-Keibu?" The inspector heard the magician's voice
"Kuroba-Kun? I know you have school and everything but can you please come to park near the subway station?"
"and why is that?" The magician asked curious
"It's just Kudo-Kun.." He was about to explain when the magician cut him off
"I don't think it's a good idea if I come to Shinichi we are not really in good terms right now" The magician said nervously
"Look Kuroba-Kun I don't know what happened between you two but you need to come Kudo-Kun is not feeling well and he needs to rest but he refuses to go home " The Inspector said and he heard The magician talking to the teacher saying there is an emergency and walked out of the class
"What happened with Shinichi?" The magician asked
"Just come and see yourself" he said and the line went dead
After 10 minutes he saw the magician running to him then he stopped and tried to catch his breath before he asked for the detective
"He is right there" The inspector answered and pointed at where the detective was sitting with his head still between his arms
The magician ran to his detective and kneeled in front the detective who had his eyes were closed tightly and his breathing was unsteady
"Shinichi?" the magician called and the detective looked at Kaito with wide eyes before standing up quickly and feeling another rush of dizziness which made him lose his balance but Kaito held him before he could fall
And Shinichi tried so hard to concentrate on anything else and not on how close he and Kaito was right now and when he realized the position they are in now he pushed the magician away with all the energy he has left and walked away
"Shinichi wait" The magician called after him but didn't even turn around
When the magician still called after him several times he turned away way too quick ready to snap but he was cut off by his stupid headache and dizziness and this time it was way too strong and everything was blurry in front of him and in slow motion
"Kaito…Just go" He said weakly and cursed softly under his breath the dizziness was getting stronger every second
'I am not going to pass out..not in front of Kaito of all people' he kept replying in his head
He was about to fall when Kaito held his waist and the last thing he heard was Kaito calling his name before his world faded into darkness
Kaito was in the hospital sitting outside Shinichi's room waiting for the doctor to come out and tell him if he can go inside and see the detective
Kaito was still shocked from what the doctor said…not him only there was also Aoko, Hakuba ,Hattori, Tayoma-chan , Mouri-chan and her crazy best friend Suzuki-chan even though they are not talking to Shinichi they still cared for him he knew that and Sera-chan was there as well
He was in deep thoughts when the doctor came out and told them it was okay for them to go inside the detective's room and that his condition was stable but the detective was still asleep
They went inside the room and Kaito felt his knees getting weaker every second the sight of his detective looking so pale and weak pained him
they all stood up around the detective in silence for 10 minutes or so
no one of them knew what to say then everyone of them started to talk with the detective until it was Kaito's turn
he sat there in silence
Until he broke it
"I am not going to school and I am calling off my magician shows until further notice " Kaito said not blinking an eye
He heard Gasps from everyone which made him turn around to see the looks of shock and surprise on their face even Hakuba and Hattori
"Don't look at me like that…Did you not hear the doctor? All of this happened in front of our eyes and we had no clue…I was supposed to be here for him I was supposed to protect him but I let him do that I can't just go and move on like nothing happened not when I know he is here…Like this!" Kaito's voice cracked and tried to stop the tears threating to escape
"Just go home guys it's getting late I am staying here with him" the magician said
"But Kaito you need to.." Aoko started but she was cut off by Kaito
"Aoko you know arguing would get you nowhere" And they knew he was right so they sighed and said their goodbyes before going out of the room
Kaito sighed and kept replying so stupid under his breath…how could he let that happen? He knew something was wrong with his detective but he didn't know it will lead to this
his thoughts were cut off when he sensed a movement near him
He looked up and saw the detective opening his eyes slowly so he leaned over studying the face of his detective
"Are you okay? I will get the doctor" Kaito said and was about to go and get the doctor when Shinichi told him that he doesn't need to
The detective took a deep breath and then attempted to push himself in a sitting position
"I think you should…" Kaito started but was cut off by the detective
"Don't tell me what to do" He answered coldly still struggling to sit so Kaito reached over and wrapped his arms around the detective's waist helping him to sit up
"Thanks" The detective said faltly, he didn't want to be helped and He didn't want Kaito to pity him but he saw how he was trying to be helpful
He looked down at the IV and took the needle out of his arm.. he for sure didn't need an IV
"What are you doing?! You know what? I am going to get someone wait here"
"Don't bother I will take it off again I don't need it you know" The detective shrugged
"No you won't" The magician said
"what are you going to do about that?" The detective raised his eyebrow challenging the magician leaning his face closer to him
"Just stop"
"Make me" by now they were only few inches apart
"Look I will hold this stupid needle all day and night if I have to Shinichi" The magician said angrily moving even closer and the detective's breath hitched in his throat
Kaito walked out of the room slamming the door behind him which made Shinichi jump, few minutes later Kaito came back with a nurse beside him
He sat quietly as the nurse inserted the needle in his arm again even though she struggled a little to find his vein and told him not to take it out he just rolled his eyes and ignored her
When the nurse left he was about to take the IV off again when he heard Kaito warning him
"Don't you even dare think about it" Kaito glared at him which made Shinichi glare as well but he placed his hands on his lap away from the IV
"She sure struggled to find your vein and stabbed you so many times If I were you I would probably punch her or kill her even you know" Kaito said trying to lighten up the mood
"I have had worse" The detective said flatly not looking at Kaito
Minutes later the doctor came in and greeted both of the teenagers
"So Your condition have been stable so you can might as well go home as long as there is someone there to take care of you, I am afraid I am not really comfortable sending you to an empty house" the doctor said and Shinichi tensed
His parents were abroad most of the time and he didn't want to stay with Professor Agasa anyway he wasn't in Beika and he knew as well that lying wouldn't get him anywhere because they will find out
"My parents are abroad most of the time but I will be able to take of myself I have lived by myself for a long time" Shinichi said hoping that the doctor would trust him but he knew it won't happen
"I am sorry but I am afraid that wouldn't do…you will have to stay here until your parents are here so you can go home" The doctor said
"He has someone" Kaito butted in and tried his best to ignore the confused and questioning looks Shinichi is giving him
He knew that the detective would hate him for that and there might be a big chance that he will kill him and hide his body without leaving any clue after all he is a detective but he was willing to take the risk just for him
"I will be staying in home with him" and he saw how Shinichi's eyes widen
