First Kiss

"-to. -aito! KAITO!" Aoko shouted near Kaito's ears.

"What is it Ahoko? You trying to make me deaf?" Kaito rubbed his ears in discomfort.

"You were spacing out for the whole morning. Even the teachers were scared of you. Did you know our literature teacher ran out 5 minutes after class began?" She had her hands on her hips as though she was mad but her face was showing worry instead. "What's wrong with you?"

"Is it lunch already?" Kaito took out his phone and started on a message. He could not believe he missed the whole morning's lessons.

"You weren't paying an ounce of attention in class were you?" She saw the intense concentration on his face. "Kaito! Pay attention!"

"I am Aoko. What is it you want?" His eyes were still transfixed on tho phone screen, fingers dancing to type out a message.

"Ok, that's it!" Aoko reached out and took his phone.

"Hey!" He exclaimed, he was just about to send the message off to Shinichi.

"First of all, lunch. Then you're going to tell Aoko the girl's name."

"Girl? Name?"

"The one who has you entranced. Aoko wants to make sure she's good for you. Kaito doesn't take enough care of himself, so this girl will have to do it."

"Aoko," with a snap of fingers, the phone was back go his hands. He quickly pressed the send button in case the girl snatched it again, "there is no girl."

"Fine then. The boy's name." Forcefully, she pulled Kaito out of his chair and into the direction of the tuck shop for a bite of food.

"Wha-what?" Surprised, Kaito grinded to a halt, pulling the girl to a stop as well. "What are you s-saying?"

"No need to stutter Kaito. Aoko can clearly see you have interest in both ways. If not, why do you always seem to give Saguru so much of your attention?" She began to pull on Kaito again, there was only so much time for lunch and she wanted to grab something good to eat.

"Wha-what? What do you mean? No way, absolutely not! No! Just what on Earth?!" Kaito was not making any sense at all when Aoko mentioned the blond detective in the sentence, it short-circuited his brain. "Ahoko!"

"Stop denying Kaito." When they reached the roof, Aoko pushed Kaito to sit down before handing him one of the breads she bought. "Now, who's the unlucky boy that you fancied?"

"No one. Just no one in particular. Stop being so nosy!" Kaito nibbled on the bread, adamantly avoiding Aoko.

"Fine. Aoko will ask Saguru to investigate." She caught the panicked look on his face. "Or maybe Aoko should ask Akako-chan instead? She always knows these types of things." She was about to walk away when Kaito launched himself at her.

"Wait!" He grabbed onto her waist, his momentum sending them crashing onto the ground.

"So will Kaito tell Aoko now?" She noticed hesitancy. She sighed. "Kaito, Aoko won't think of you differently. But Kaito is Aoko's best friend and as a best friend, Aoko cannot just hand you over to anyone. Much like how you are protective of Aoko."

"Aoko, you really should not be so nosy. I think Hakuba is a bad influence on you. Teaching you interrogation techniques is not a good dating topic." He slid off and sat cross legged. "I should go have a talk with him about appropriate date behaviour."

"Wha-what are you talking about! What Saguru and Aoko does is...is..." This time, it was Aoko who became flustered. "Aoko and Saguru are just...we were...and it's..."

"There there Aoko. Calm down. Have a drink." Kaito handed her a juice box as he cheered inwardly at being able to divert Aoko's attention away.

Kaito made sure to pay extra attention to both the teachers and the students for the afternoon class to make up for the lack of interaction and his inattentiveness in the morning. Suffice to say, there was not much learning done (thankfully, it was a revision class and wasn't covering new material, the student population was actually quite relieved to have a normal day). By the time the bell rang to signal the end of day, every single person had at least had their clothes changed once, the hairstyle swapped, and pens changed colours more times than they could count. Hakuba was most likely hit the worst as he is currently sporting fluorescent pink hair in a Sailormoon style, and his uniform in black and white horizontal stripes. At one point, he had a pair of rabbit ears, but thankfully it wasn't stuck on his head.

"What did I do to earn you wrath?" He complained to the prankster. He rummaged around his bag for his hat he stored for such occasions.

"Nothing~" Kaito did not have the time to linger around if he wanted to catch Shinichi going home. He was grateful that their school ended earlier than Teitan High.

"It's not nothing if you decided to go out of your way to give me a full makeover." The hat he pulled out suffered damages also as it too was in strips.

"Just so you know, date-time is for dating. Not anything else ok?" Kaito had a creepy smile on his face. Hakuba wasn't sure what the prankster was implying, but he did nod just to please the magician. "Good! Now that we have that out of the way, I'll take my leave. You better make sure Aoko gets home safely!"

He gave a backwards wave and ignored Aoko's shouts. The message he sent during lunch was a riddle telling Shinichi he intends to visit him after school. He knew the detective does not have soccer practice and the police haven't called for consultation so the detective should be free for ice cream.

He managed to arrive before the bell had rang in Teitan High. 'At least it was worth the multiple train changes.' He hummed as he waited at the gates. When the students came out, they all stared at Kaito, which he ignored in favour of petting the dove on his shoulder.

"Kaito, what are you doing here?" Shinichi was startled to see the magician leaning on the wall next to the school gates.

"I thought I messaged you this afternoon."

"Ah, that." There was an embarrassed smile on his face. "I thought you were joking."

"Why Shinichi, every minute away from you is like a thousand knives through my heart! I simply cannot leave your side for a single moment lest my world turn to darkness." Kaito said with a dramatic flair, kneeling on one leg and extending an arm in the air whilst offering a red camilla.

"Kaito!" He exclaimed, pulling Kaito back into standing, and taking the flower from his hands. The magician smiled brightly as he dodged the playful slap from the detective. "We're in public!"

Kaito was secretly glad that Shinichi did not tell him to stop with the dramatics, only that he was easily embarrassed by public displays. Well, Kaito will just have to work on his delivery. Though, most of what he said was done over the top and both knew it was for kinks.

"Ah, Kuroba-kun. Did you have plans with Shinichi?" The karate master walked towards them. "Or do you want to join us? We're heading over to the station for cakes."

"Not today Mouri-chan." He linked arms with the detective, who did not protest. Kaito was still trying to gauge how far he could go in terms of touching in public and in the presence of people they know.

"Oi Kudo-kun, is this who you dumped Ran for? I thought you guys didn't meet until a couple of months ago!" Sonoko was being quite loud at this point, causing many of the students to stop in their tracks and look at their direction.

"Sonoko. Now is not the place and time. Besides, Shinichi and I were never together to begin with."

"Ran, I understand that you forgave Kudo-kun a long time ago. But I still can't believe he could turn away from you! Or was it because of the shock that Kudo-kun couldn't have you that he turned to the male population?"

"Sonoko!" Both Ran and Shinichi shouted at the same time.

"Really, the two of you are fun to rile up." She snickered. Both couldn't believe she was making them a fool. "Relax, I was joking."

"Sonoko..." Ran involuntarily let out a sigh while Shinichi was trying hard to resist the knee-jerk reaction of facepalming.

"Well, I must steal Shinichi away for the rest of the afternoon." He tried to drag the detective away, only to bump into a group of children.

"Shinichi-niisan!" Three recognizable voices exclaimed and latched onto Kaito.

"Ack!" He managed to choked out before being strangled by the three detective boys. The forth, the little scientist, only stood back with a smirk. And was that a phone, he spied, being tucked back into her pockets?

"You're not so bad with children as well, Kaito." Shinichi approached the group.

"A little help?"

"Nah, you can play me for a change. They can drag you off the the nearest crime scene and have you solve it." He smirked and ignored the pained looks directed at him from the magician.

"You're not Shinichi-san?" Mitsuhiko was the first scramble away.

"Oops." Ayumi was next, she tried to hide behind the little scientist.

"Aw, and here I thought we managed to ambush Shinichi-niisan!" Now that Genta was finally off, Kaito could breath easier.

"Nope, Kuroba Kaito. Magician extraordinaire." Sitting up, he spread his arms and confetti and silly string sprang out from his sleeves. He closed his hands then opened them to present the three children with an assortment of candies and sweets.

"You'll have to work better to ambush me Genta-kun. Though, you should be proud of yourself, being able to surprise Kaito."

"So it's Kaito is it Kudo-kun?" Haibara gave him a leer. Kaito shuddered at being the focus of the scientist's gaze. He felt like a bug being analyzed and dissected. "I still don't approve." She whispered into Kaito's ears.

Shinichi helped Kaito up, who quickly hid behind the detective.

"Shinichi~" He whined.

"You can't hide behind me forever. Sooner or later you'll have to face her. Unless you do not wish to stay with me?" Shinichi smirked.

"Never! I shall not part from you! Banish the absurd thought." Another dramatic performance, this time eliciting giggles from both the children and teenage girls. For this, Kaito was head slapped from behind by Shinichi.

"If you're quite done Romeo, would you like to tell me where we're going?" The group were all walking towards the station.

"Are you admitting to be my Juliet?" He was ready to dodge any attack. But instead of being hit he earned a blush from Shinichi, whose eyes widened making his normally stoic face seemingly innocent. Kaito could not help but launch himself at Shinichi, nearly crushing the detective in his hug.

"Ba'aro!" Shinichi proceeded to stomp away from the group.

"Shinichi. Wait, please? I'm sorry. I won't do it again!" He ran towards the detective, ignoring the laughter behind him. "Shinichi? Please forgive me? I don't mean it!"

As soon as they were out of earshot, Shinichi shortened his footsteps, allowing Kaito to catch up. Kaito saw the detective snickered and the shaking of the shoulders.

"Shinichi~ you're really mean." Kaito pouted.

"Kaito, you set yourself up for it." Yes, Kaito finally realised Shinichi was laughing at his expense.

"You weren't such a good actor before."

"I learn from experience. You know, Stanoslavski? You should be familiar."

"Humph." Kaito pretended to be mad, crossing his arms and turning away from Shinichi. He knew it was a childish act, but it was these actions that often brought forth the most wondrous laugh from the detective. And if being childish could bring him joy then so be it.

"I believe you wanted us to go somewhere alone?" Shinichi was still giggling but trying hard to mask it.

"Why of course! This way! Onward we go!" Kaito pulled them in the direction of the shopping district. "And because you were mean to me, you'll have to make it up."

"Then let me give you the down payment first." Kaito turned his head, curious at what the detective meant, only to be met on the lips by Shinichi's very own. He blushed splendidly, not expecting the detective to make such a bold move.

'Then again, he was the one who initiated the first kiss.' Kaito smiled, which he knew the detective must have felt for he too smile. Kaito pulled their bodies closer, not minding they were in the middle of the street where practically anyone could see them. He placed his hands on Shinichi's hips, encircling behind it and melding their bodies together. Shinichi had his hands around Kaito's neck, one hand playing on the small tuffs of hair just above the nape. Kaito's hands also began to wander as he nibbled on the detective's lips, tasting the bitterness from the canned coffee and eliciting a moan from the detective. Kaito took this as an invitation and used that silver tongue of his to explore the inside of his mouth. Tongue on tongue, they each battled for dominance, like a game, but it was a game where there would be two winners instead a loser. Their breathing became deeper, harsher, trying to breath in the other's scent, and soon they had to surface for air.

"I don't think we should continue here." Shinichi panted. Lips swollen, cheeks tinged with vibrant colours, and eyes misted over. There was reluctance in his voice at having to stop so suddenly.

"This is not the right place. We should go get ice cream now." Kaito carried on their walk, hand in hand, as though nothing happened.

"Now who's the sadistic one." Shinichi bumped him on the shoulders. Kaito laughed at the pout on the detective's face.

"What goes around, comes around!" Kaito was having a lot of fun. Testing waters with each other to see how far they can go and exploring the various sides of their significant other. Kaito could honestly say he was truly happy, to the point where if the world should end, he could not care for he had Shinichi by his side; his equal and opposite in every way.
