Author's Rant:

Shimizu: Thank you all for reading and reviewing last chappie! *bows*. Huh? You ask why am I still here and not killed? *blinks*

Shimizu: *grins cheekily* see that closet?

*From the closet, thumping sound and moaning could be heard*.

Shimizu: Kai-chan actually took Miko-chan's advice to lock Shin-chan and himself up in a closet and have smex *drools*. And thus, I'm saved~!

Beware of AU, OOC-ness and typos and grammar mistakes! And perverted!Kaito too!

Disclaim: Nope~! I don't own anything~!

Chapter 21: Gap Years, Part 2.

"Here you go, Shin-chan~," the stranger returned with a tray of food and coffee in his hands.

"Missed me?" he grinned cheekily before setting the tray on the nightstand, he was still shirtless and his pants was unbuttoned and Shinichi mentally slapped himself for checking the stranger out…but damn, he had a nice body…

Shinichi regained his composure quickly and shot the stranger a deadpan look, which was replied by a hearted laugh, as if the stranger had expected it.

Shinichi had tried to get up and find something to wear but the pain in the ass, literally, prevented him from doing so. And so, he set on covering himself with the cover.

He still had got over the fact that he had…you know…with a man but he would deal with panic later, for now, he needed to keep his mind clear to think. But the stranger seemed to know him really well as the strong aroma of the coffee was exactly his favorite.

The man seemed to notice his gaze on the cup of coffee as he raised an eyebrow, "What? Doubt my coffee making skill? Complete black coffee with no sugar…" then he wrinkled his nose in distaste, "I still have no idea how you can drink it…"

And when Shinichi didn't answer, the man frowned.

"What's the matter, Shin-chan?" he asked worriedly and his hand felt Shinichi's forehead gently, "You're not sick, are you?"

"…I'm fine…" Shinichi bit out the reply and slightly leaned in the familiar touch. His mind might not remember but apparently, his body could.

"But listen here," he shook his head, ignoring the disappointed feeling as the hand fell back to the man's side, "I seriously don't know what's happening. I don't know who you are, why I'm here," he looked into the man's confused violet eyes seriously, "In fact, everything doesn't make any sense to me."

The man stared at him blankly for a moment before bursting out laughing, "Nice try, Shin-chan~," he grinned and flicked Shinichi's forehead playfully, "But seriously, how did you say so with such serious face? And to think I'm a Poker Face master here."

And he bent down to press a chaste kiss again the corner of Shinichi's mouth, making him flinch back and his backside protest, soon enough, a bright shade of red lift up on the detective's cheeks.

"I'm not joking!" he protested, trying to fight down the blush, "I'm serious!"

"Well then, tell me who are you?" the stranger obliviously thought he was still joking as he raised an eyebrow bemusedly.

"…Kudou Shinichi, high school detective…" Shinichi answered and the man frowned at his reply.

"Silly," he ruffed Shinichi's hair, "Drop that high school part, you're already out of boring school."

"Huh?" and Shinichi mentally congratulated himself on such clever comeback.

"What?" the man sat down and pulled Shinichi back to press against his chest and Shinichi felt his face get hotter, "Really, if you want to play 'First Meeting,' you should have just said so…"

Shinichi spluttered and turned even redder as the stranger whispered huskily into his ear, damn, he never knew that his ear was that sensitive.

"I'm Kuroba Kaito, magician. Nice to meet you, Tantei-kun," the tone of the stranger, now had a name, Kaito, was low and suggestive, The first base is through…shall we process to the next base?" his hand trailed up the frozen detective's thigh, bunching up the cover and revealing more of the pale skin.

And it turned out, Shinichi could get redder.

Risking letting go of his only cover, Shinichi turned to push the man off, and quickly grabbed the cover again, wounding it tightly around himself.

Glaring heatedly at the man, "I told you! I'm not joking! For all I know, I'm 16 and I'm still in High School, thank you very much!" he huffed, "And I'm supposed to be in England!"

The frown on Kaito's face deepened. And once he was sure that Shinichi was done yelling, Kaito scratched the back of his head, "Seriously?"

The detective nodded, still glaring dagger at him. Kaito then gave a lop-sided grin.

"Well, maybe we should go see your own doctor, she might know something about this…" then he rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "…You did fall hard last night…"

"What?" Shinichi asked back, confusion in his voice, "What happened last night?"

Kaito flashed him a bright grin, "We celebrated your birthday at a pub~! And you got drunk…you slipped and fell when we were getting home…but you said you were okay and …you know the rest," he leered at Shinichi cheekily, "Seriously, that was the first time you have ever made the first move."

Cheerfully, he clapped his hands together and announced, "But first! You're having your breakfast then we can take a bath together~."

"What? There's no way I'll bathe together with a pervert like you!" regardless that he might have been his lover…or so he thought from the familiar ways the man was treating him.

"But Shin-chan~!" Kaito whined, "You promised me last night!"

"Well, if I did, I don't remember now," He replied with a deadpan look, "And until I can remember or confirm what you said is true, you're not touching me, got it?"

And the only respond he got was the man's widening and disbelieving eyes, his jaw dropped to the floor.

"But, Shin-chan!"
