When he came to, he was relieved he was still breathing. However, this was not his bed he was currently lying in. Did the police find him? The Sniper? He was starting to panic until he heard someone muttering beside him. He turned his head to the direction of the sound and found Meitantei-san sleeping half on a chair and half on the bed.
Without even realising, he was starting to blush. He never saw Shinichi with such a peaceful expression, the only expression he received was a smirk from the detective.
While staring at the (adorable) detectives face, he slowly became aware of the pain in his side. Last night came to memory of being shot during his escape. He looked at his waist and saw it covered in bandages, he also noticed the few band-aids on his arms, probably from the fall and crashing into concrete. He is amazed nothing is broken, still in one piece.
Looking over his injuries, he never heard the detective waking up beside him, he did, however, hear him talking to him.
"How are you feeling?"
His voice shook him out of his thoughts to stare at the detective. 'That voice of his should be illegal' he thought. Shinichi peered at him with worry bright as day in his eyes, frowning as he didn't receive an answer.
"... I could be better."
Shinichi slowly nodded "You were given medicine to help ease the pain..." He closed his sparkling blue eyes before continuing "Are you in pain right now? Do you need more medicine?"
"No thank you, I'm fine."
Silence fell between the two as they were left to their thoughts.
"Hey..." breaking the silence "Why haven't you turned me in yet?"
"Well, I... want to help you." Shinichi mumbled
"I can't, I don't want anyone to get hurt."
"Please KID, why are they trying to kill you?"
"That's just for me to know Meitantei-san."
He wanted to be mad, angry, at Shinichi. He couldn't though, he knows Shinichi has nearly taken down the organisation that once shrunk him into a child, but this is different. Those people won't hesitate to kill anyone who is in their way, they get whatever they want without fail (Other than Pandora that is). He has already lost his father to them, he is not going to lose anyone else, even that means for him to be nearly killed every heist.
He looked towards the detective that was about to yell at him to at least consider the idea but paused as he saw the thiefs' eyes shimmer like he was about to cry. "I don't want to lose anyone else to those people... I'm thankful that you want to help but, I don't want anybody to be hurt"
"... At least consider the idea." he said softly.
The deathly silence came back and the tension was starting to be uncomfortable, Shinichi stood from where he was sitting in the chair beside the bed and headed towards the white old door. "I'll get you some breakfast with the medicine you had before. If you need to you the restroom, it's just down the hall to the left."
With that, he left Kaito alone to his thoughts.
