Chapter 2: Kaito Tells All
~*~*~*~*~*~
Part 1.
"Aoko?"
"Yeah, Kaito?" Aoko didn't look up.
"There's something I want to tell you."
Aoko looked up. Kaito shuffled nervously, staring intently at his feet.
"I'm Kaitou Kid."
Aoko turned back to her book. "That's nice."
Silence.
"Aoko?" Timidly. "You're not mad?"
She waved a hand dismissively. "Old news."

Part 2.
Take 1:
Kaito cleared his throat. "I'm Kaitou Kid."
Aoko stared. Hakuba stared. Akako raised an eyebrow.
Kaito waited. And waited. And—
Aoko burst out laughing. "Sorry," she gasped, "the look on your face..."

Take 2:
Kaito cleared his throat. "I'm Kaitou Kid."
Aoko stared. Akako raised an eyebrow. Hakuba snorted.
"Sorry," he muttered when they all turned to him, "fly up my nose."

Take 3:
Kaito cleared his throat. "I'm Kaitou Kid."
Beat.
He frowned and tried again. "I'm Kaitou Kid."
Beat.
He raised his voice. "I SAID, I'm—" he broke off, took off a shoe, and threw it into the shadows. "Would you stop that! I'm trying to be serious here!"
Akako snickered. It sounded suspiciously like "sitcom."

Part 3.
"Kaito, is there something you'd like to tell me?"
"Tell you?" Kaito rested his chin on his hands thoughtfully. "You know, now that you mention it, there was something..."
Aoko forced herself to breath.
"That's right!" Kaito shot upright. "Have you seen that new movie? The one with what's-his-name—"
Aoko sighed. "Harrison Ford? No, I haven't." She leaned forward. "Is there anything ELSE you'd like to tell me?"
Kaito hesitated. "Well..."
Aoko hid a triumphant grin. He was going to say it!
"Aoko, I think I'm gay."
What?
Kaito was grinning idiotically now. "I think I like Hakuba. It's just, he's really cute, and..."
Aoko closed her eyes. She just couldn't win.
"Is that okay with you? Because—Aoko? What are you doing? Hey! Stop that! You'll hurt yourself!"
Aoko ignored him. Banging her head on the desk felt GOOD.

Author's Notes:
For some reason, I see Kaito really liking "Indiana Jones."
I actually think Aoko and Kaito are a really great couple. They're just so much fun to play with...
