Chapter three.
A Stormy night and a lonely cave.
Being stuck in a cave during a storm with a human was never the way Kaito had imagined spending a moment of his life doing –unless he somehow, turned back into a human (which wasn't a thing he fantasized about) and got married to some weirdo who enjoy kissing during storms while knowing there are more than thousand different species of wolves –beasts, in general, roaming around the forest and praying to find any single piece of meat they can munch on.
Shinichi leaned back at the solid wall of the cave, with Kaito sitting next to him, he sighed. "This storm is going to waste quite a lot of our time." He complained, not really fond of their situation either.
Having noticed for the first time, that the hunter's got something like a mellifluous voice, he pushed the thought away, trying to ignore the aerial moans. "It's dangerous to walk around in the forest during a storm, especially that we have vampires chasing us now." He took a short breath, before adding. "And a witch."
Shinichi nodded, not really wanting to lose more energy socializing or rather talking about an obvious subject, he did know –more than well enough, that this forest is nefarious, wicked or villainous, he'd encountered some situation that would prove his point, as he knew such epoch should be hidden.
It was all silent for a couple of minutes –or, almost an hour. Both of them were just either staring or trying to fall asleep, in hopes that the time would pass faster, before Kaito caught a gasp. Surprised, he looked at his companion, when he noticed how flushed his cheeks were.
There were really these moments where Kaito almost forgot that Shinichi is a human as well.
Seeing how the hunter was wrapping his arms around himself, before gasping again –meanwhile, he was trying to hide his sneeze, so he would keep his pride? Kaito didn't know and he never actually wanted to question his logic.
"Are you cold?" Kaito asked.
However, the other decided not to answer and to completely ignore his question –looks like he was really on an energy diet that day, hmm? –
"You don't need to ignore me, y'know? I'm just being nice."
And he ignored him again.
"Come on, that's really rude, hunter-chan." Kaito fake whined, as he let out a rather long breath.
"Your voice really sound like a bominating bug, you know?" Shinichi replied, -holding in another sneeze- as he glared at the beast sitting beside him.
What –and here, he was dreaming about how pleasing Shinichi's voice was, guess, that's what you get for being nice, anyways. He gets called brominating, and a bug. That's not the kind of treatment a former well-respected magician deserves.
"I'm not fond of spending my time with you too, actually." Kaito replied, trying to sound annoyed –however, he knew that he felt kind of obliged to follow the hunter, knowing that well, he had that sense of responsibility toward him, since he saved him from those vampires.
"You can leave; nobody would even care about it."
And, that was when Kaito decided that it would his turn to ignore him.
He'd also decided to shut his eyes and try sleeping, and well, it worked.
-X-
Being awake –not so long after he closed his eyes, and tried sleeping, however, he wouldn't notice that he hadn't actually slept till the morning- by a sneezing hunter was never the way Kaito had actually wanted his iridescent dreams to stop.
As he opened his eyes, he casted a look at his 'hunter-chan' who were now openly sneezing after he made sure that Kaito was asleep, probably hadn't noticed him waking up.
Kaito decided to take this situation to his advantage –blame his nice soul- as he silently walked up, taking his jacket off then putting it down around the hunter's shoulders.
"What-" Shinichi squealed when he felt a pair of arms being wrapped around him, as a soft cloth was being placed on him, he looked up at his culprit –face flushed, probably from both being embarrassed and cold, but he'd hoped that Kaito only noticed the second reason.
"What do you think you're doing?" He tried yelling at him –but, it only came out as a non-audible whisper.
Gathering the detective up in his arms, Kaito pulled him closer. "Damn, you're quite cold." He said, not really planning on letting go off him anytime soon, and that's what the other felt as well.
And, maybe, Shinichi semi-liked it, and that might be the reason why he hasn't pulled away, noting that he was really quite cold, and didn't want to catch cold the other day, he let himself be sandwiched.
"Try to fall asleep." Kaito suggested, yawning himself then closing his eyes.
-X-X-X-X-X-
As the sun came back to the party, the storm had already taken its leave, which was an epiphany for both of them, for sure.
Shinichi opened his eyes, letting the amber beam of the sunlight hit him, as he tried wiggling his body, when he felt a soft warm breath on his neck, blushing faintly when he recalled the position he was last in with the werewolf.
"Finally, awake." Kaito said –voice groggily, filled with the morning hatred –honestly, Shinichi thought that he was still asleep, "Good morning, hunter-chan." He said, letting go of the other.
The hunter stood up awkwardly. "G'morning." Well, if Kaito's voice was filled with morning hatred, then for sure, Shinichi's planned on the destruction of this whole morning thing, on the other hand, Kaito might have found this weird state of the hunter, a little –yeah, just a little- adorable, but he decided to push this thought away as well.
"Time for us to get going."
