One thing was now terribly clear to Shinichi now. His weekend hadn't been a success. It had all started with the disastrous date on Friday, but the following days hadn't been better either. He had messed up. The more time had passed since Friday the more he felt that he totally screwed up and that he didn't want it to end.
Right after the date, he felt rather angry about Kaito's behavior – he still did – but now he also regretted it a lot. At first Shinichi had thought he could just forget about it, but no chance. This bloody boy was on his mind 24/7. What had he done to him?!
He couldn't believe it and now he had no idea what to do. In his despair he had met with Ran on Sunday, but he wasn't really focusing on her as he was constantly thinking about Kaito and what he could do to make up for Friday.
Ran of course had felt that something was wrong with him and had also asked him a few times until she had given up due to the fact that Shinichi just didn't want to talk about it. When they had said their good-byes this evening, he had known. He'd spent the whole day with his alleged true love; however his thoughts were circling around someone else.
Realization hit him hard the very moment he turned around and disappeared in his house. He didn't know about the future, but right now he wanted to be with Kid and not with Ran, as weird as this sounded to him.
The following days Shinichi tried to think about what he should do. He decided against texting Kaito again. Firstly because this wasn't something he wanted to talk about in only text messages and secondly he was sure that the thief wouldn't answer him anyway.
But the problem was that he still didn't know where Kaito lived. And the only person he could probably ask was Ran, because she was in contact with Aoko, but this wasn't an option.
He became really desperate after some time before the newspapers on Tuesday saved his day. There it was, on the front page. An announcement from Kaito Kid printed over half the page.
It was still early in the morning and Shinichi not even had a coffee or something to eat. He just stared at the newspaper. This was the solution; this was his way to see him again, to tell him that he was a complete ass leaving him alone in the park.
Strengthened with new optimism, he started to come up with a plan. He first checked the location of the exhibition where Kid planned to steal the huge diamond. It didn't take him long to guess the most possible escape plan for Kid.
If he could head him off at one point he needed to give the police there some wrong information which was against his moral codex, but he found that he could make an exception just once.
But even if Shinichi was now able to see Kid again, there was still the possibility that Kid didn't want to speak with him and therefore would try to escape.
But the clever teenager was prepared for this. He went upstairs to his room and dragged out the first drawer of his bed table, where he knew his detective's badge was. He hadn't used that little gadget in a long time, but now it would serve him well.
His eyes wandered to the object next to the badge. It was his glasses. He took them out with his badge and sat down on his bed. Feeling nostalgic he looked at the two items.
It was amazing to live his life as Shinichi again, but living as Conan would now always be part of his past and he couldn't deny that he had also a lot of good times being a seven year old boy again.
He put on the glasses and activated the tracking device inside. It was still working – perfect. So now he was prepared if Kaito would escape him again.
Tonight was the night – finally. Like usual it had taken ages until the weekend had arrived. Everything was going according to plan right now. The police was guarding the wrong passage. He felt slightly bad for tricking them, but there was no other way right now. Shinichi was standing in a dark hallway, hidden behind a thick red curtain, hanging down in front of the large windows.
His heart was beating fast and his hands were sweating terribly. It wouldn't take long now until the announced time and after that it could be only a matter of minutes for Kaito to appear. If Shinichi was correct, he needed to pass his hideout and that would be the moment to get him.
He checked his watch. Two more minutes left. His breathing became faster with each second.
Calm down Kudo!
If there was one thing he didn't want to represent tonight than it was nervousness.
The loud sound of the alarm system made him realize that time was up and that he needed to stay focused now. He tried to listen to every sound around him, which was extremely hard due to the alarm.
However, after a few minutes he heard the sound of someone removing the grid of the ventilation shafts near to him. This had to be Kid! Then Shinichi heard steps getting closer at a fast pace, like if the thief was running.
Five, four, three, two, one. Shinichi jumped out from behind the curtain and saw white. Yes! It was Kid and the look on his face was priceless. The detective grabbed the boy by his arms and slammed him against the near wall, maybe a bit too harsh.
Kid looked at him with the most confused and angry face, whereas Shinichi had put on his most smug smile.
"I said, I'm not finished with you yet." Shinichi had imagined himself saying those words to Kid since he had come up with this plan.
Kid regained his senses and tried to push the other away without success.
"And I said I am." He was seriously angry it seemed.
Shinichi came closer and pressed his body against the thief, his heart rate increasing intensively with the new found body contact. Oh yes, he wanted to be here and he wanted Kid.
"You know it's not fair running away like a jealous little girl. It was you who wanted this in the first place, wasn't it? And now that I really found interest in you and the things we do, you push me away just like that?"
Kid opened his mouth and closed it again as if he didn't know what to reply. His eyes switched between Shinichi's face and the end of the hallway.
"Let me go, Kudo."
"No, I won't." Shinichi took all his courage and before Kaito could say something again, he pressed his lips onto the thief's. He didn't care if the police would see them right now, he just wanted to finish what they had started in the park over a week ago.
At first Kid was like frozen and didn't kiss him back, but then he opened his mouth and let him deepen the kiss. Shinichi moaned into the touch and while he was entwining his tongue with the thief's he made sure to place the badge in Kaito's pocket.
Just a second later, Kid stopped and shoved him away, this time successfully.
"We have to stop this." He was breathing hard.
Now it was Shinichi's time to be angry again.
"Why? Isn't that what you wanted? And now that you could have me, you refuse me? You don't trust me, do you?"
He took a step back and gave Kaito a way to escape.
"Yes, I don't trust you or let's say I don't think that you know what you want, because I know that your affections are only focused on one person and that's not me."
There was silence. They finally talked about it. Kid had finally admitted that he thought that he couldn't compete with Ran.
"So why? Why did you do this to me? I really thought that you were just looking for fun the first time, but you proved me wrong, at least that's my opinion."
Shinichi crossed his arms and waited for an answer.
"It was foolish to even try to get close to you, to give in into my desires. I may not act like that all the time, but I don't need my heart to be broken again. One tragedy per life is enough for me." His face showed a sad expression. Shinichi was sure that he was talking about his father's death and the mystery surrounding it.
It was so weird to have this talk here in the dark hallway, the sound of the alarm still ringing through the whole building and the chance that the police would find them was increasing any second.
Shinichi was just about to speak again when he saw three men turning around the corner with flash lights.
"There's Kid! Grab him!" One of the men shouted.
Shinichi confused by the sudden appearance of the police turned around to look at them. Then trying to see what Kaito was doing he searched the hallway for him, only to find him at the end of it almost jumping out of the window.
His expression was back to his normal Kaito Kid self. He smirked mischievously and raised his hand to wave good-bye.
"Maybe next time." He said and jumped out of the window only to disappear in the dark of the night.
It took the detective some time to process the last two minutes and after he had come up with a story, that he almost caught Kid by himself, which he told to the police, he fetched his glasses from inside his jacket and put them on.
He activated the tracking function and while he could see the small dot wandering over the small screen he smiled and made his move.
He really meant what he said before. He wasn't finished with him yet and if the thief needed some more convincement, then he was more than happy to provide such.
Okay the drama is still going on, but I can promise there will be some lemon in the next chapter again, so please look forward to this…I'm looking forward too actually ^^ Again thanks to everyone who supports me by reading and following and reviewing my story…3
