And here is (yep, you guessed it) the dance chapter! Have fun reading :)
December 7:
The booming music that could be heard even from outside of the high school gym made Shinichi uneasy. He glanced at Kaito in worry, wondering if it had been a good decision to come here.
"Come on, Shinichi!" Kaito insisted, seeming to know what Shinichi was thinking. "It'll be fun, I promise!"
Shinichi sighed, following Kaito into the gym that was full of a swarming mass of bodies. As he looked Kaito's impressively dressed body up and down for the umpteenth time that night, he was reminded of when he'd first seen him.
Shinichi heard the doorbell ring and straightened his tie. He had decided on a deep purple shirt with the tie that Kaito'd said was his favorite, along with some black slacks. He just hoped Kaito would appreciate his choices.
Opening the door, he was taken aback by how incredibly good Kaito looked as they gave each other a long onceover. Kaito's hair was more neatly groomed than usual (which wasn't really saying much), and he wore a well-fitting black shirt tucked into his pants, along with a white tie that contrasted nicely. Huh. Come to think of it, Shinichi had never seen Kaito in such nice attire besides when he was dressed up as Kaitou Kid. And at those times he wore articles that covered his face and hands. Because this was the first time he'd seen such an outfit on his magician, Shinichi was embarrassed to realize that he found Kaito quite…hot.
"Woooow," Kaito drawled, smirking. "Who knew a man could look this good?" He patted Shinichi's chest, giving him a swift kiss and a wink and unknowingly making Shinichi's heart pound.
"Hey Kaito," Shinichi called loudly as they stepped into the gym. Kaito turned around with a questioning look. Shinichi grabbed Kaito's elbow to drag the magician's ear closer to the nervous boy's mouth so that he could be heard over the thumping bass in the room. "I forgot to tell you earlier—I was too caught up in the way you look. But…it's really nice. Your outfit, I mean."
Kaito's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Oh," he chuckled. "Thanks!" With that, Shinichi was led onto the dancefloor, and the two joined in to the pit of writhing bodies.
"Um, is this how most people dance?" Shinichi asked in mild disgust as he saw a girl near them laughing and shaking her butt all over a very pleased-looking guy.
Kaito smiled knowingly and scrunched up his nose. "Unfortunately, yes." He began to wiggle slightly trying to lead Shinichi in an awkward dance.
Shinichi quickly found out that, if this was considered dancing, he was not good at it.
After two more strange songs, the two decided to take a break and sit at a table, drinking the lemonade that was available. As soon as they sat down, Shinichi faintly heard his name being called; he looked up, spotting Ran walking toward them, her long red dress flowing as she moved.
"Hi guys!" she said with a grin. Sonoko followed her and they sat down. "So are you having fun? You both look really handsome."
Sonoko agreed vehemently, eyeing Kaito with a suspiciously hungry expression. Ran's countenance, on the other hand, was completely placid staring at the two. Thankfully not awkward in the slightest.
"You look good too, Ran," Shinichi replied.
Kaito rolled his eyes and stood up, only to bow low. "You both look beautiful tonight, oujo-sans." With a flourish, he produced two pink roses—that matched the girls' current faces perfectly—and handed them to each of the flattered girls.
"Thank you," they said in unison, and Sonoko self-consciously straightened her sparkly blue dress.
As a new song came on, Ran jumped up. "Come on guys! Let's go dance!"
Shinichi reluctantly followed the excited girls (and Kaito) back onto the dancefloor. Strangely, this was a song he'd heard somewhere before. That was a first. Still, he didn't really know what the song was about.
Kaito danced enthusiastically for a while, looking progressively more confused as the song went on. Suddenly, he stopped and stared at Shinichi. "What is he saying? Don't drop that…what?"
Shinichi snickered. "It's something like don't drop that thun thun thun."
Kaito stared blankly. "What?"
Shinichi shook his head. "Don't ask me, seriously."
Kaito, still seeming confused at the strange lyrics, resumed dancing, eventually forgetting his qualms.
Shinichi walked home happily, hand-in-hand with Kaito. "So that was nice, I guess. Strange. But nice."
Kaito giggled. "I especially enjoyed dancing to the slow song with you. Jeez, did you see some of the people glaring at us? Get a grip, people. It's the twenty-first century!"
Shinichi laughed as well. "You're right. I don't know, I guess I thought it was kind of weird at first. But now I…" he paused, shifting his gaze away from Kaito. "I can't imagine not wanting to be with you."
Kaito was silent, and curiosity caused Shinichi to look at him again; he was shocked to see that Kaito was blushing. Even in the dark, it was obvious. Actually, when Shinichi looked for another moment, he felt a blush creep onto his own face as the dark indigo eyes flickered over to meet his. Shinichi was reminded of his previous thoughts from the beginning of the night, noticing how Kaito looked even sexier than before, somehow. His hair was thoroughly mussed, his shirt tucked haphazardly in, and his tie loosened slightly. Even his tired eyes held a glimmer of excitement still, making Shinichi's throat close up.
The detective cleared his throat, breaking eye contact as they reached the Kudou residence. "Well, good night," he finally said, still refusing to gaze at Kaito. He didn't know what he'd do if he had to look back at that perfect visage.
"Good night, Shinichi," Kaito said quietly. Shinichi could hear the smile in his voice, but he still didn't want to look…
Damn, he thought as his eyes disobeyed his brain's command and glanced up at Kaito. Damn it all, he thought again as he pushed Kaito gently into the wall surrounding the mansion, not letting Kaito's surprised noise go past "Mmp—" as he pressed his lips roughly against the magician's. Kaito was stiff for just a millisecond before relaxing into the kiss, pulling Shinichi closer and even deepening it.
Shinichi's brain finally reconnected and he snapped out of the trance he had been put in by the extremely sexy Kaito. He pulled away, leaving Kaito to blink in a flustered haze.
"Sorry," Shinichi breathed. "We're basically, like, making out in the street."
"R-right," Kaito agreed, his usual composure having vanished. "Okay so I'm just going to, um, go home. See you later, right?"
"Of course," Shinichi replied smoothly. "There's a Kid heist Tuesday, right? Wouldn't miss it for the world."
Kaito scoffed. "Right, you couldn't give up the chance to catch the thief."
Shinichi smirked. "Never." Kissing Kaito on the cheek one last time, he winked and made his way tiredly inside.
I think that disheveled guys wearing ties are sexy. So...Shinichi does too. Says me. Hehe.
Thanks for reading! A few review would be nice!
