Chapter 2

Shinichi P.O.V

I took Kaito to a few fake dates and he did the same. His were Holmes conventions, book stores and mine were favorite cafes. Kaito really knew my favorite ideas for dates but I took him to icecream parlors, magic conventions and candy shops. I don't know. I actually liked seeing a real smile and not just his poker face. I had started to like Kaito especially after the blymph. It was part of why I felt him up and was pissed he was almost kissed.

Ran had confronted me on it after finding out I was Conan.

-Flashback-

"You weren't mad that it was me that was almost kissed on the blympth were you?" Ran asked. She knew that I was bisexual and leaned more towards guys. I sighed. "No. Sorry. After the whole incident you and Uncle became like family. I care a lot about both of you but with you its not in the way..." I began.

"I feel the same Shinichi. I am now dateing Sonoko. I knowticed how upset you got when I almost kissed Kaito. You should tell him some day instead of it happening because if you remember Hattori also almost kissed him too." Ran said winking.

-End of Flashback-

I had told Ran and Uncle the relationship wasn't the real deal and it was to protect Kaito from Hakuba. Ran found the whole thing amusing.

"What are you makeing" I asked Kaito in the morning. "Pancakes sausage and coffee" he answered. "Know you're a coffee person. "Also thanks for doing this." he said. I nodded.

Kaito P.O.V

I smiled. It was only a few days and I wanted to stay forever and for this thing to be the real deal. "You look flushed. Are you ok?" he asked. "Might have a cold. It'll pass." I said. He was standing close and I felt a bit embarrassed. Then Ran entered and I spoke.

"Can you take over on pancake duty?" I asked. She examed the scene and nodded and whispered "Embarrassed?" Ran and Aoko knew I actually liked Shinichi but thought he hated me because I was a theif. I nodded. I was close to tears.

"Yeah. I just need a moment." I said. Ran became a close friend to me. "Are you ok? Anything I can do?" Shinichi asked. "We're going for a walk. Pancakes are done" Ran said.

We left. Ran sighed. "Kaito, Shinichi doesn't hate you. He wouldn't agree to this if he did hate you and you remember when we became friends right? He wanted to sit next to you. Not Aoko! Not me! But you." Ran said pointedly. "He wanted his own fellow geek to sit next to."

We stopped at a cafe and got our favorite treats that we sometimes got and then headed back. Ran then left. I smiled and found Shinichi who had heated up my breakfast for me. "Arigato." I said. "Your welcome" he answered. I smiled. Maybe he did like me a little at least as friends.
