First Date
"Good evening, Kid-kun," said a soft, familiar voice, as a tall blonde took his arm. Toichi chuckled.
"Good evening, my Lady," he murmured. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Of my presence? That fake Van Nyuek in the east wing," she replied. "Of my company? They're face-checking everyone who enters the museum."
Toichi mentally cursed for not knowing that, but he smiled at the Phantom Lady, Poker Face keeping his thoughts from the surface. "Ah, I see." He spotted the queues in front of the cops' barricades, and switched to the deeper voice of the French man he was pretending to be. "Darling, let's not waste time on the Greco-Roman goddesses. It'll be like looking in a mirror for you!"
"Oh, you!" she giggled loudly, punching him playfully on the arm. They continued in this sickening vein until they were close to the gate and several officers were staring at them, at which point she pinched his cheek, careful to make it look hard but not damage his mask. He gave an exaggerated gasp, slapped his hand to his cheek to hide the lack of rising blood, and prodded her in the nose- again careful not to damage the mask. The cops, looking vaguely ill, waved them through. They kept it up for a few feet, and then sighed heavily once they were out of sight of the gate.
"I think I'm getting diabetes," Toichi sighed. The Phantom Lady smirked.
"I can't taste the sugar," she said, "but that's because I threw up a little in my mouth." They both laughed.
"So, is this a first date?" Toichi said cheekily. She rolled her eyes.
"We're past the face-checks, so I can push you out of a window now," she pointed out. He just chuckled.
"Then, my lady," he said, brushing a kiss over her hand, "I shall take my leave."
He vanished into the crowds.

You have no idea how sane anything Kid does looks after an afternoon spent reading Endgame. Just what was Beckett smoking, and would the play make any more sense if I had some too? XD
Magic Kaito does not belong to me. I just borrow the characters, play dress-up and tea party for a bit, and then try to sneak them back to Aoyama Gosho's room before he notices that they're gone.
