Chapter 36: Phobia
…
"Oh come on Shin-chan, you promised to bring me to the butterfly farm today!" Kaito whined while tugging Shinichi's left arm, leaving the poor detective immobile under his hold.
"I did not!" Shinichi refused to look at Kaito's face, afraid that he would succumb under his begging when he saw that puppy eyes of his.
"You did! And what makes you hate butterfly farm so much?" Pulling Shinichi closer, Kaito was determined to make Shinichi looked into his eyes.
Turning his head away, Shinichi muttered, "I hate butterflies…"
"What, Shin-chan? I can't hear you?"
"…"
"Well, if you're not talking, I'm dragging you to the butterfly farm now!" Kaito announced a bit too cheerfully.
Shinichi, on the other hand, whipped around and silently begged Kaito to drop whatever idea he had at the butterfly farm.
And that was when Kaito saw how terribly blue his eyes were when they're glistened with tears…tears? TEARS?!
"Sh-shin-chan? Are…are you crying?" Kaito asked carefully, not wanting to upset Shinichi anymore. His cheerful mask drop the moment he saw the tears swimming in his eyes.
"'m fine…" Shinichi buried his face onto Kaito's shoulder, his hands dropped to his side.
Kaito hold Shinichi by his waist with another hand drawing soothing circle at his back.
Yukiko came into Shinichi's bedroom and was greeted by a sight of a crying Shinichi sitting on Kaito's lap with his head buried on the thief's shoulder.
"Kai-chan? What happened?" Yukiko asked worriedly. Shinichi wasn't one who will express his emotions so openly unless something big happened.
"I asked if he wanted to go to the butterfly farm but he rejected. I tried threatening him and he started crying." Kaito answered, confused yet was upset that his action made his detective cry, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…"
Yukiko interrupted him with a soft laugh and went over to pet her son's head. "It's okay, it wasn't much of a secret now since he's with you. You see, Shinichi had mottephobia since he was young."
"Fear of…butterflies?"
"And moths, yes. It was amusing at first until he started crying whenever I teased him with a replica of butterflies. Then Yuusaku was more than furious to know that our son had a weird phobia due to my teasing." Yukiko smiled at the memory and chuckled from time to time, earning a teary glare from Shinichi.
"It's all your fault." Shinichi murmured.
"Well, it is kinda refreshing to see you like this." Kaito wiggled his eyebrow mischievously, his hands slipped under Shinichi's pants, grabbing a handful of the detective's bottom.
"K-kaito!"
A/N: A weird fear for our detective! And we all know that if something traumatic happened to Shinichi when he was young, it'll bound to be Yukiko's fault! ;D
Just a short piece before I start my hectic week! Drop a review when you passed by, I'll send it all to Kaito and you'll get a short visit from Kaitou Kid in your dreams! And if you're lucky, a certain detective would be around and you'll have free tickets to their make-out sessions. xD
