Hi Everyone! I hope you're doing well!

Disclaimer: I do not own DCMK

Warnings: angst-y(?) I guess., umm ooc (actually I don't think it's that much like what I usually write), ichthyophobia (Sorry, Kaito)

.

Here for you. (alternatively titled: Ichthyophobia)

There was a soft knock on the door.

"Katio? Can I please come in?"

Kaito didn't move from his spot huddled against a wall. The knocking stopped. Maybe he left?

"Kaito..."

Nope. Still there.

"Kaito, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have brought sushi...I didn't know. Why didn't you tell me?

... Kaito, please open up. I swear I will never eat fi-those aquatic creatures ever again!"

Kaito hugged himself closer, trying to dispel the images of those monsters.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I didn't want you to know. It's a stupid fear and everyone says so. I know it's stupid but...

It's okay if you laugh or something. I understand if you want to break up. I mean who wants to date the guy who is afraid of fi-i-ish. "

There was rustling from the other side of the door as Kaito closed his eyes and rested his head on his knees. He's leaving. Of course he is. You're pathetic.

.

Kaito started as warm arm wrapped around his shoulders tightly and pulled him to an even warmer body. Shinichi. Why-?

"Baroo, I'm dating you because I like you. I really do. I love everything about you...your confidence, your laugh, your smile, your personality... this may sound superficial and narcissistic but, your face as well...

Kuroba Kaito, I love everything about you and finding out your fear isn't going to change that. In fact, now I found a new part of you to love so, why wouldn't I?"

Kaito felt a dopey smile creep up to his face, his cheeks lightly stained with red, then, he relaxed against Shinichi's hold.

The two sat there in silence for a long time, Shinichi holding on to Kaito as if saying "I'm here and I will always be here for you".

Omake:

Shinichi broke the peaceful and contented silence.

"Umm... Can we get out of the restaurant's bathroom now?"

Kaito blushed.

Wow that was darker than usual. Yep, this came to be born because I wanted to write something with Kaito's fear. (I totally understand Kaito, fish are nasty)

Also, yes, Shinichi climbed over(or under, your choice) a bathroom stall door to get to Kaito.

Sorry if the last part ruined the mood, I needed something light hearted because I felt bad the whole time writing this. If you don't like this...pretend he picked the lock to Kaito's room or something. Sorry.
