A/N: Remember me, anyone? Haha so sorry for lack of updates, uni has been crazy busy lately, but finally on a two week break now! This one's for alynawatlovers, thanks for all your support :)

Prompt: Today I went to the gym. I went to sit on the stationary bike, but I felt weird, so I put my seatbelt on. It wasn't til I already reached my hand up that I realized bikes don't have seatbelts. MLIA

Characters: Kaito, Aoko

Safety Comes First

"Ne, Kaito, let's go to the gym," Aoko said to her best friend, who had come over to visit and stuck himself in the kitchen with a pint of chocolate ice cream. Really, was he coming over to visit her or the fridge, she couldn't really tell.

"Gym?" Kaito asked in confusion. "Why on earth do we need to go to the gym?"

"Because I feel so lazy and restless just sitting around doing nothing, that's why," Aoko replied. She loved summer, honestly she did, but the hot weather meant she was eating cold foods all the time in an attempt to cool herself down, and look where it all gathered, on her stomach!

Kaito gave her an exasperated look. She hadn't said aloud what she was thinking, but he knew she thought she was getting fat from eating all that junk food. He didn't understand why girls thought they were all so fat when they only ate a bit of food. Seriously, Aoko was fine the way she was; she didn't need to turn into one of those plastic sticks of girls he saw at school.

"You really want to go?" Kaito asked, putting another mouthful of ice cream in his mouth.

"Yeah, come on, let's go! It's so not fair how you sit there eating all day, yet you never get fat!" Aoko said, half amused half annoyed.

"Okay, I'm coming," Kaito said as he reluctantly put the ice cream back in the freezer. "We'll continue our little date later," he said quietly to the ice cream, as Aoko walked out of the kitchen.

"Okay, where to first?" Kaito asked as they arrived at the gym. It was probably a good idea to come to the gym, he hadn't been training much lately; some of those heists really required energy, dashing in and out of places. No one said it was easy being KID! "How about the treadmill?"

Aoko laughed, "Kaito, all you've been doing in the summer is eat. Sure you can cope on the treadmill?" She asked teasingly. "Why don't we start with something nice and simple, like the bikes?"

"Hey! I could run faster on that treadmill than anyone in this room!" Kaito said in protest, but walked over to the bikes anyway. It was true, he had eaten quite a fair bit, but it was the chocolate ice cream's fault for being so delicious and there all the time! Maybe he should start slow, just in case he made a fool of himself.

"Okay, let's do this!" Kaito said enthusiastically as he got on the bike, and automatically reached for the seatbelt on his left hand side, only to be met with thin air.

"Uh Kaito, what are you doing?" Aoko asked in confusion.

Realising his mistake, Kaito quickly placed his hand on the handle and said, "Oh nothing, I was just stretching."

"Stretching?" Aoko asked with a laugh. "You looked like you were reaching for your seatbelt or something!"

Kaito's poker face came down, and he said to Aoko nonchalantly, "Aoko, what are you talking about? These are the newest kind of stretches I saw on TV, they make your arm muscles really strong!"

Aoko burst into laughter, and began pedalling on her bike. "Whatever you say, Kaito. You just keep strengthening your arm muscles that way then."

Kaito sighed and began pedalling on his bike too. So much for not making a fool of himself.
