A/N: Sorry for the late update people. I got my laptop taken for awhile and now I have it back. But I wrote most chapters on a piece of paper so I could quickly type them and put them on. It seemed to work. Anyway, also I was catching up on Bleach (since I lost what episode I was on and had to figure it out, which I still haven't but I just started where the TV is which worked and I know what's going on now.) Also, I wanted to thank everyone for Favoriteing, Story Alert, Author Alert, Favorite Author, etc. I really appreciate it. *bows* Thank you very much! And If you enjoy these, check out my own works on Inkpop and Fictionpress. Anyway, ON TO THE CHAPTER! If you don't like it, sorry, it was the only idea I got so far.

Quote: "Because I would arouse the anger of a lovely lady if I were to present only one shoe."

Kaito was looking down at the cup of tea Tsukiko had just handed him. He spun the cup in his hands, nervously. What was he going to do? He was nervous-wondering if he would be able to control himself. Wait, why would he need to be worried about that?

Kaito's expression softened. He began thinking about things that he felt recently for a nearby female detective. He's been jealous on several occasions. The same could be said about him wanting to be near her. Her heart raced and he enjoyed seeing her smile. He always wanted to tease her, then again he did that with everyone. But it was different with Tsukiko.

Kaito knew what he was feeling and he had to blush at the idea. He didn't just want to be friends with her, like the plan was originally. He wanted to be more then friends. He just couldn't believe he's just now finding out his feelings. He also couldn't believe he's fallen for her.

Kaito felt a cold hand touch his forehead. He looked up and saw Tsukiko feeling his forehead. "You alright, Kuroba-kun?" she asked, sitting next to him.

Kaito gave a fake smile. "Of course I am!" he said. "Worried are you?"

Tsukiko sat back and looked away, a small blush on her cheeks. "N-No!" she said. "I'm making sure you're not suck! If you were I would kick you out right now!"

Kaito laughed. "You're so cold, Toyoshima-san…"

Tsukiko grinned and glanced at Kaito. He was back looking at his cup. Tsukiko's expression saddened and she looked at her cup.

"I'm sorry…" she said. Kaito looked at Tsukiko, seeing her sad expression. "I've never had anyone over before, so I'm kind of nervous."

"I noticed the second bedroom was empty," Kaito said. "You live alone?"

Tsukiko nodded slowly. "My parents died when I was six," she said. "After that I lived with my brother in out family mansion. But soon he got married and moved out. Then I moved into this apartment in Tokyo. Of course Shinichi came and checked on me once in a while. But after my parents died…nothing was the same…"

Kaito noticed that Tsukiko was holding back her tears. But she couldn't fight back all of them, a few slipped down her cheek. Kaito-unconsciously-took his hand and brushed the tear off of Tsukiko's cheek.

Tsukiko jumped at the touch and looked at Kaito. There she saw a sympathetic look in his eyes, even though he was smiling.

"My father died in a fire, after a magic trick went wrong," he said, putting his hands in his lap. "My mother is traveling, so, she's not home at the moment. So, I can't say I know how it feels. But at some points it does get rather lonely at home, so I can understand that much."

Tsukiko just starred at Kaito shocked.

Kaito was soon surprised when tears-more then a few-began running down her face. He began freaking out thinking he did something wrong.

Tsukiko looked down and wiped her eyes. "S-Sorry…" she muttered.

Kaito looked at her. She was hurting and lonely. But what could he do to help? Without knowing, he grabbed Tsukiko's hand and pulled her toward him-embracing her tightly.

Tsukiko was chocked and was happy her face was buried in his chest so he couldn't see her blush.

"Uh…Kuroba-kun?" Tsukiko said, muffled by Kaito's shirt.

Kaito was in shock. What was he thinking? He didn't even realize what had happened until she was in his arms. He was to embarrassed and had to much pride in himself to say, 'Just cry all you want… I'm here for you…' So he just tightened his grip around her and hoped she got the message.

Tsukiko understood what Kaito was saying. She placed her hands on his chest and began crying. Her fists tightened and so did his grip on her. She was comfortable and felt secure. She never wanted to let go. She couldn't remember when she cried this much. Even at her parents funeral she didn't cry.

Kaito took his hand and began gently brushing her hair. He then rested his head on hers, the scent of Jasmine filling his nostrils. He was in bliss and he didn't want to move. But he knew that was something that wouldn't happen.

Soon Kaito's thoughts changed when he didn't hear Tsukiko crying anymore. He also didn't feel her grip. Instead he felt her calm breathing. He looked down and saw Tsukiko was sleeping. Kaito couldn't help but smile. Soon enough he leaned against the arm rest and fell asleep, still holding Tsukiko as tight as he could.

Sorry it's so short guys. But I hope you liked it. If it sucked I'm sorry, not my best chapter is what I thought.
