There is no form of relief quite like getting home after a long day. Shinichi thought sleepily as he stumbled into the apartment's entryway, not bothering to slip on the pair of slippers after he took his shoes off. He stumbled into to the living room and collapsed into one of the recliners gratefully. The peaceful silence of the seemingly vacant apartment was heavenly to the weary detective. He closed his eyes with a content sigh. A small tug at his sleeve made him roll his head to one side to face the green eyed toddler next to him before another tug on his other sleeve made him face the other way to take in the puppy dog eyes of his boyfriend. Shinichi faced forward again, closing his eyes, before frowning in thought.
Suddenly the boys on either side of him jumped up to kiss his cheeks making him start enough to fall off of the chair.
"Welcome home Meitantei!" Kaito cheered.
"Home, 'Tou-chan!" Harii chirped as he threw his hands up. Shinichi blinked up at them from his new position on the floor before smiling softly.
"I'm home." Harii squealed happily at the sight of Shinichi's smile before hugging him. Shinichi grinned as he quickly wrapped his arms around the small boy before mercilessly tickling his sides. Harii shrieked in laughter and struggled to get away making Shinichi roll around to keep the slippery boy in a firm hold.
"I've caught the thief's accomplice!" Shinichi laughed before hooking his arm around Harii's stomach so he could stand. Harii wriggled in the new hold but Shinichi paid him no mind.
"I think you have something of mine, Meitantei." Kaito laughed in his 'KID' voice.
"If you want him back you'll have to catch me!" Shinichi challenged before taking off towards their bedroom.
"Save me, Oyaji!" Harii giggled.
"Never fear! Oyaji is here!" Kaito crowed before giving chase.
Shinichi reached the bedroom door and threw it open before leaping inside. He quickly locked the door before tossing Harii on the bed and tickling him.
"Oyaji!" Harii squealed through his laughter.
"Oh no! The evil 'Tou-chan has stolen my emerald! I must save him!" Kaito called through the door before setting to work on the lock. After a moment he frowned. "Ne, Shin-chan?"
"What is it?" Shinichi called through laughter as he continued to tickle Harii.
"Did you change the lock?"
"Maybe." Shinichi finally stopped his ambush and pulled the still giggling boy into his lap. Kaito frowned before smirking in determination. After few more tries he got the lock open.
"I have arrived!" The thief announced as he threw open the door theatrically. Shinichi gasped in mock-terror, clutching the child like he was a teddy bear.
"Dastardly villain!" The detective smiled when he felt Harii's giggles. "We must escape little emerald!"
"No you don't!" Kaito yelled and dove at them. After trying to get away Shinichi gave up relaxing in his thief's hold.
"… Oyaji won." Harii sighed as he snuggled into Shinichi's chest.
"Of course." The detective rolled his eyes.
"How was your day Shin-chan?" Kaito asked, burying his nose into his detective's hair.
"We finally finished that kidnapping case. The victim is fine and was sent back to her family." Shinichi sighed.
"Just like the emerald told us." Kaito shared a grin with the toddler.
"Knew it!" Harii chirped. Kaito chuckled at the boy's smug smile.
"Hey Kaito. When did you say your shift started again?" Shinichi asked after a moment. Kaito blinked and turned over to peer at the alarm clock. 7:30 pm.
"… Crap! I'm late!" Kaito leapt off of the bed and dashed down the hallway. The sound of the door slamming made Shinichi and Harii smirk at each other. They both held up three fingers, lowering them as each second passed. The sound of the door opening meekly after the third second made their smirks widen.
"Back so soon?" Shinichi called, finger over his lips secretively making Harii cover his giggles.
"… I forgot my shoes." They heard Kaito mumble before the door clicked shut. The two waited a few minutes before exploding into laughter.
-My train of thought just derailed… there were no survivors.-
Sorry if the grammar is crummy or if you think it's written poorly. This was kind of a spur of the moment thing. I think Harii/Harry would be around the age of 3 here…
Poison: Where is this?
Somewhere is Europe. Kaito and Shinichi are renting an apartment while Kaito pulls off some heists before they move on.
Hua: What was the point of this?
Just to show some family bonding, I guess.
Hoshi: What is Kaito's job?
He's a bartender at a local pub where many cops go to wind down. If you get any cop drunk enough their verbal filter can get thin enough to let a few secrets through.
Sketchy: Gaspeth! The detective stole from the thief!
I always knew he would turn… *shifty eyes*
Also Harii calls Kaito 'Oyaji' and calls Shinichi 'Tou-chan'. Just in case you were confused…
