"How do you know Akako-chan?" Aoko asked suddenly, as soon as the teacher left and lunchtime came. Kaito jumped a little, then scowled.
"Ahoko! How many times do I have to tell you not to do that?!" He said, raising his fist in mock anger.
Aoko ignored him for the first time, most likely because Conan burst in laughing. Hard. With tears.
"S-sorry... A-Akako-chan?" He asked, shaking from the round of hard laughing. The girl in the back was redder than a tomato, and she quickly got up and stalked toward the boy with big steps.
In one quick move, she was straddling the boy who wasn't laughing now. He had a poker face worth admiration. Not every day you get to be straddled by such a beauty. But, he showed nothing even as Akako tugged his tie toward her.
"Listen to me, Shinigami, I don't know why you came back, but you better not thrust me back into your world. I had enough of it, and I paid my debt in full." She hissed, fire in her eyes.
Silence, then suddenly Conan smirked. The sun caught his glasses, making it hard for anyone to see his eyes. Then, he rose and put the girl on his desk, in what was a very compromising position. His hands went to both sides of her head, trapping her. Her eyes grew wide, and she blushed now not from rage, but embarrassment.
"So you say, but I never spoke of anything related to that. So, that means I never had any intention to call on you for your... splendid services. Don't worry, Akako-chan. I know when to stop as to not break people. Did it often, I continue to do it. You wouldn't be the first, and certainly not the last, but you were for sure the one who resisted the most. I congratulate you." He said, voice smooth as he slid a finger down her cheek. The blush got redder. She fought for words, but nothing coherent got out.
"Wha-wha-you-"
No one could move, not even Kaito. He had the shock of his life when he saw the confident Akako stumble and fall at the mercy of the new student.
"You should know better than give me an oportunity, Akako." Began Conan again. "And you should also know better than to sit in a boys lap. As you are rather beautiful, most would do something... unpleasant." His finger went to her neck, and Akako stilled, breathing hard. Then, Conan stoped and smiled inocently as his hand rose and he stepped back, allowing Akako space to herself. "But, I am not the type to play around, so you are lucky this time. Next time with another one, not so sure." He turned to Haibara and he gave her his hand. She glanced at it for a second, before taking out of her bag a gun. Panic arose in the class as everyone tried to scramble out of the gun's path. The attention wasn't on them though. It was on Conan. Who was still smiling.
"Give me one reason I shouldn't blow your brain for what you just did." Haibara spoke in her cold voice.
Conan kept on smiling as if he didn't had a gun pointed at his head. "Do whatever you see fit. With that gun, you rule one thing in my body." He said sincerly, and Haibara pulled the trigger.
Flowers appeared as the fake gun gave a little start. It was a little bouchet filled with roses. Conan's smile got bigger.
"It seems you rule my heart." He took out a rose and put it in her hair as she accepted the hand he still had stretched.
The two left the room without caring about the shocked and gobsmacked people they left behind.
Suddenly, Kaito gave a loud shriek, akin to the fangirls of Kaito Kid when they see him. He jumped excited on his feet, running after them.
"Wai- Kaito? Where are you going?!" Though shocked, Aoko still found the strenght to call after her friend.
Kaito stopped in the door way, a huge grin on his face. "I just meet my new best friends. And I am going to lunch with them." He said, not sparring the others another glance.
On the rooftop, Ai opened a lunchbox and put it between them. They never felt the need to eat too much, so they shared a lunch. It was easier that way too.
When Ai noticed Conan was distracted, looking at the door in a daze, she sighed. "What is it?" She asked.
"I'm waiting." Came the answer.
"For?"
The door opened and outside stepped the magician with a wide grin. Conan shared the smile, waving his hand to show the boy he was more than welcomed.
Kaito sat down with barely contained glee. He just could keep still and Conan, for some unknown reason, mirrored him.
"What on Earth is wrong with you two?" Ai asked, raising an eyebrow. She never saw her friend act like that, not even when dealing with Kaito Kid.
The two turned their heads to face her, and Haibara Ai felt for the first time dread when seeing this face.
"Ai, don't you understand? He's like me!" He said, trying hard not to point. Kaito nodded with a hum.
"Like... you?" She was confused. What on Earth was going on here?
"Allow me to explain, Haibara-san. Me an Conan- I'll call you Conan, you call me Kaito- are two peaches from the same tree. Two seeds from the same fruit. Brothers from different parents-"
"Please get to the point." Said Ai, glaring at the grinning boys.
"What Kaito meant, Ai, was that we are on the same page. We can feel that our interest are somewhat similar, and that our intelect is strangely at the same level." Explained Conan, making Kaito nod again. Ai sighed. Of course that was. Why else would the serious detective suddenly act like a five years old kid?
From there, it went as someone would expect. The two boys spend the break talking and knowing each other better. Ai put her input sometimes, other times she listened amused.
"You really came with a police car?" Kaito asked with big eyes.Conan rose an eyebrow. "You know?""Heard some whispers on my way up." Shrugged Kaito. "Did you?""Yeah... not very pleasant. Me an Ai were on out way to school when a man dropped dead in front of us." Kaito's eyes grew wider, his mouth slight agape. "It got sorted quite quickly, actually, and detective Takagi offered to take us to school. You see, I sometimes consult police in some cases." He said, only to have Ai laugh."Yeah, right. In most cases you stumble upon, actually.""Or that." Finished Conan. "What can I say? I am a death magnet. I had to accept that after the first two years it happened." He shrugged."Koizumi said something similar. Shinigami? How do you know her anyway?""A case in the past she got involved into. After finding out her... strange hobbies and information network, I went to her a few times for information. It helped quite a lot, even if it was cripted."
When they returned to their classroom, the boys were at the other's hip. No one knew what happened in that short break. They talked and laughed as if they knew each other their whole lifes, and no one but the girl trailing behind them could intervine.
Aoko, of course, grew jealous. Haibara noticed that, and grinned inwardly.
Oh, she will have her fun. Conan wasn't the only one allowed to have fun.
