Heated Heist
When Kaito Stole Himself an Omega
Kaito was giddy, he was bursting with excitement and energy even more so than during a regular heist night. Tonight was the night. Kudou Shinichi had returned to the world three weeks ago and tonight was the very first heist ever since his return. For the past three weeks, Kaito had been planning the most spectacular show, something worthy to welcome his tantei-kun back. He'd been gone for two months, solving whatever case had him go into hiding and caused his shrinking in the first place. Kaito wasn't privy to the details, sadly, but at least tantei-kun had taken the time to say goodbye before and it had nearly broken Kaito's heart. He'd fretted for weeks, worrying his mate and also nearly driving him up the wall, until the newspaper headlines finally announced the return of Kudou Shinichi and Kaito could breath easily again.
"Hold still," Kaito glared as he unbuttoned the upper buttons of his lover's shirt.
"Why are you acting like this is some kind of first date you are setting me up to. You are my mate, Kaito. And it's not like this is... an anniversary of any sorts," Hakuba frowned at him.
Because Kuroba Kaito was not just his lover, he was his mate. Over their long-lasting chase, the two had fallen for each other and one night, KID took off the top-hat and admitted the truth Saguru had already known but he also told Saguru so much more. The reason behind KID's existence. It was compelling to know the truth and it was impossible not to fall for the other alpha.
"Sagu-chan," Kaito groaned frustrated, fixing Saguru's hair next. "Please, please, please. Behave your best. Be super impressive so he will fall head over heels in love with you. He should. I've run the calculations and scenarios over and over in my head. You're like... his ideal mate."
"Kudou Shinichi?" Saguru sounded doubtful as he caught Kaito's hands.
"You are brilliant, a mystery and case solver like him, you are both Sherlock Holmes geeks. You can totally bond about that. Bring Watson, he's a conversation starter. You're incredibly handsome and sexy and the two of you working together to chase me today would be a perfect bonding experience," listed Kaito eagerly. "Admittedly, I am... not sure... if he is into alphas. But he's very headstrong and likes butting heads with equals, so I think he might."
"You are so very peculiar, Kuroba Kaito," Saguru gently kissed Kaito's hands. "I'll meet Kudou-kun and I will be pleasant enough with him. But your plan is... strange. What kind of alpha wants their mate to fall in love with someone else? I still don't even understand your obsession with him."
"I just..." Kaito took a deep breath and held it for a moment. "I can't explain it to you, because it is not my secret to share. That's why I need you to wrap Shinichi around your little finger so he will share it with you and then you can fall deeply in love and he can become ours and I won't have to feel so guilty about being in love with him and you. Because I know you will understand, once you meet him. You're a man of great taste, I know that he definitely will appeal to you physically. And I'm sure he will also appeal to you intellectually. Just... be open-minded. Please."
Saguru heaved a sigh though he nodded in agreement. He loved Kaito, after all. How could he doubt his boyfriend and mate, even if the brunette made very little sense. The two had defeated too many odds together for Saguru to doubt him. A detective and a thief, two alphas. Anyone looking at them from an outsider's perspective might think they were doomed, but Saguru had never been happier and couldn't imagine ever being happy with anyone aside from Kaito. However, he also knew that Kaito had feelings for Kudou Shinichi – Saguru didn't know how, because for all he knew, the two had never met before in their lives. Kaito would never cheat on him, his capability for love did not mean that he loved Saguru any less. Still, it was frustrating. Perhaps, meeting Kudou himself might make Saguru understand, even though the blonde highly doubted Kaito's calculations. There was no way Saguru could love someone else aside from Kaito.
"Have a good heist, Kaito," whispered Saguru as he kissed his lover's cheek.
"Have a good falling in love with Shinichi," replied Kaito with a bright grin.
Ridiculous thief. Saguru smiled fondly and shook his head. That was never going to happen.
/break\
When he actually stood in front of Kudou Shinichi, Saguru understood the little quip about knowing for sure that Shinichi would be physically appealing. The similarities between Shinichi and Kaito were startling. They surely weren't identical, Saguru's watchful eyes spotted many differences, but the similarities were undeniable. He was gorgeous. And, something that Kaito had absolutely neglected to tell him, he was an omega. The moment they met and shook hands, Saguru stood frozen, overwhelmed by the scent of roses and lemon pie, licking his lips. He'd made a fool of himself, blushed embarrassed when Shinichi cleared his throat politely.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't... aware..." Saguru trailed off, knowing how impolite it was.
"That I'm an omega. Yes. Because I presented while I was... gone," Kudou smiled. "It's nice to meet you in person, Hakuba-kun. I've heard many good things about your abilities. Not from Nakamori-keibu, he has been very annoyed that there are two 'teen nuisances' now."
Saguru chuckled softly. Oh no. The cute omega was also funny. Damn Kaito and how well he knew Saguru. Not that he was falling in love – he had only just met the other detective. But the thing was, he could clearly see the appeal. To busy himself, Saguru got his watch out and checked the time.
"Thirteen minutes and fifty seconds left," noted Saguru before pocketing it again. "Watson!"
He whistled, to draw Watson here. Usually, he didn't take the hawk to heists, but Kaito had asked him to and Saguru felt obligated to obey. Shinichi had perked up the moment he said the name.
"A hawk?" Shinichi stepped closer. "And you named him after John Watson?"
"An unusual pet, I'll admit," offered Saguru. "But he has been a loyal companion to me for years. And yes, I named him after John Watson. I'm a big fan of Holmes."
Shinichi's eyes were still on the hawk as he hummed curiously. "What is your favorite book?"
The thirteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye as they both shared their favorite books – and they barely scratched the surface on it. Yet Shinichi's opinions seemed so very interesting, Saguru would love to hear more. He could perhaps spend hours talking to him.
/break\
Shinichi was having a blast. He'd expected the first heist in his real body to be great, but KID was going all out. Privately, to himself, Shinichi liked to think it was all for him, a welcome back. At first, he'd been frustrated to spot Hakuba at the scene, because he knew about the great rivalry KID and Hakuba had and Shinichi, selfishly, had wanted KID all to himself tonight. He wanted to corner the thief and tell him the whole truth, including his feelings for the white-clad magician.
Though he had to admit that the heist was even more fun with Hakuba. The two of them worked quite well together. It was fun bouncing ideas off someone that brilliant. They were on the roof-top and finally, Shinichi came face to face with KID, actually face to face, not face to knee-cap. It felt so good to have his real size back. Grinning slyly, Shinichi approached the thief, just to have KID stumble backward with a shocked expression on his face, covering his mouth.
"Y... You... You're... You..." KID took another step back.
Oh. Shinichi frowned a little and stepped back again. So KID didn't like omegas, or at least not Shinichi's scent, then. He averted his eyes, trying not to let the thief see his disappointment.
"It was a bad idea to come here," Shinichi muttered and turned around.
"No! No, tantei-kun, please don't leave, I was looking forward to meeting you!"
"But meeting me in person has been a disappointment, I see," Shinichi offered a crooked smile.
"I believe the opposite is in fact true, Kudou-kun," Hakuba stepped out of the shadow.
Ah, Shinichi had somewhat hoped he'd been able to shake the blonde, distract him with the decoy. It figured he wouldn't fall for that, though. The blonde was much sharper than the police. Much sharper than Shinichi had expected, even. And he had some expectations for the other detective.
"W... What do you mean, Hakuba-kun?" Shinichi turned to frown at the detective.
"Your scent is very..." Saguru actually blushed at that. "Intense. Not in a bad way. It is slightly overwhelming when one does not expect it. I think KID-san is simply... surprised."
"Yes! That! Thank you, tantei-san," KID sounded relieved. "I'm sorry. I just... didn't expect it at all. I didn't know you were an omega! You were always unpresented when we met!"
The white thief stepped closer to him now, sniffing the air carefully. Oh. Now it was Shinichi's turn to blush. His heart was racing. So KID found his scent appealing? Wait. Had Hakuba just implied he found Shinichi's scent appealing too...? That was rather unexpected and a little confusing.
"I'm glad to see you back, tantei-kun," KID offered his most charming smile. "I'm afraid I have to bid my goodbye though, I can hear the good inspector close-by."
He actually bowed, taking Shinichi's hand and kissing it. When he straightened up again, he produced a pure-white rose to the detective. Shinichi was too flustered and surprised to even try and cuff the thief. Instead, he took the rose closer, sniffing its scent while KID disappeared in a puff of smoke. Blinking, Shinichi approached the edge of the roof, watching the hang-glider soar away. Hakuba stepped closer, so close Shinichi could feel the warmth radiating off his body. When Shinichi turned toward him, he found himself nose to collarbone with the blonde. He froze as he smelt something. Hakuba's scent, yes, but to his collar clung a different scent.
"Are you alright, Kudou-kun?" asked Hakuba concerned.
"Yes. I just... the scent. Your shirt does not smell like you," noted Shinichi, still sniffing.
"Ah. Yes. That's..." Hakuba actually flushed. "My mate has been fussing with my outfit."
His mate...? But that scent. Shinichi would always recognize it. His eyes widened. Impossible.
/break\
Kaito grinned as he wrapped his arms around Saguru's neck from behind. The blonde was reading a book that wasn't his. One he had borrowed from Shinichi. Because, much like Kaito had predicted, Saguru and Shinichi had hit it off right away. They were good friends by now.
"Tell me, why are you avoiding Kudou-kun?" Saguru raised his head, putting the book down and turning his whole attention on Kaito. "You were the one to push me into befriending Kudou-kun, yet every time they invite me to an outing and ask me to bring my mate along, you... dodge."
Kaito winced as he slipped into Saguru's lap, resting his cheek against his mate's shoulder. "I told you. The plan is for you to become friends and fall in love and when we managed that, I will swoop in and swoop him off his feet and we make him a part of our relationship."
"And I'm telling you that you're ridiculous," Saguru sighed, wrapping his arms around Kaito.
"No—o. I know that if I meet him in person, I will be absolutely gone," Kaito sighed dreamily. "Especially if I have to see the two of you be adorable nerds together."
The grin returned to his lips as he thought of it. Just hearing his detectives banter through the bugs during a heist was already a delight, but if he were to see Saguru and Shinichi passionately talk about Holmes, Kaito would absolutely not be able to resist simply kissing Shinichi and stealing him away. So he had to make sure. He had to make sure that Saguru would feel the same by then.
"You're insufferable, thief," Saguru shook his head lightly. "You can't avoid it forever."
Admittedly, there was more to it. Kaito knew there was no going back, once he would meet Kudou Shinichi for the first time. Because they looked so similar to each other and Shinichi knew that. Meeting someone with a face so similar to Shinichi's, and someone who did magic casually at that (Kaito wouldn't be able to resist doing magic, not even in front of Shinichi). It would take the great detective zero point two seconds to figure out Kaito was KID. So he needed to be sure.
/break\
Saguru glared down at his watch. He was seven minutes and thirty-four seconds behind his time-schedule. The heist was to start too soon, he hoped that Kudou had been early enough to reign Nakamori in and take charge. No other force aside from the two teen detectives was suited to capture Kaitou KID; not that Saguru was seriously trying to capture his lover anymore. It was more a game for them, foreplay, so to speak. And somehow, Kudou Shinichi had become a part of it too, because ever since he had returned from his two year disappearance, he had not missed a single heist. It would be a bother, an annoyance, with anyone else, but somehow, Shinichi fit right in.
Saguru enjoyed their shared banter and deep conversations about Holmes while everything for the heist was being set up, he enjoyed bouncing ideas with Shinichi and chasing after Kaito together. Even if Hakuba had an edge on Kudou; he knew why KID stole, and he knew who KID was.
The two alphas had been mates for over a year already when Kudou returned from his mysterious case and though Saguru had to admit he had felt the heat of jealousy when Kaito got all giddy and excited about the other teen detective, after properly meeting Shinichi and getting to know him, Saguru's jealousy died down because he too was growing more fond of the omega. Perhaps because of that too, because Shinichi was an omega. Though Saguru was not fool enough to believe that that was all there was. Shinichi was the most brilliant mind Saguru had ever met, aside from Kaito. And unlike Kaito, Shinichi shared Saguru's passion for Holmes and deductions, solving mysteries instead of setting them up. It was a kinship Saguru had never felt like that before.
"C'mon, don't be like that, pretty little thing. I can smell you want it too."
A whimper, a broken sound. It interrupted Saguru's musing and also his hurried steps. Pausing, he changed directions toward where the voices had come from. Just as he rounded the corner into the alley, a man went down with a pained groan. Alpha. The stench of his arousal was all over the place, but not as prominent as the scent of an omega very close to heat. Lemon pie and roses.
"You little bitch-" the alpha on the ground growled.
"I said I'm not interested," snarled the omega, leaning heavily against the wall.
Saguru's eyes widened as he recognized the omega. Shinichi. Immediately did his eyes narrow and he reached for his phone to call the inspector. It wasn't hard to piece together what had happened here. He rushed over to Shinichi to steady him. The soccer-player nearly also kneed Saguru on reflex, before he realized who it was. With a small whine did Shinichi lean against him.
"Hakuba-kun... you are late for the heist," commented Shinichi softly.
"Nakamori-keibu. There is a suspicious person in the back-alley behind the building. Please send an officer to collect the man and hold him for now. I will explain everything later," requested Saguru over the phone, quickly pocketing it before Nakamori could argue with him.
He then went to handcuff the man before giving Shinichi his full attention. The omega smelt divine, this close to his heat. It made Saguru's mouth water. He cupped Shinichi's cheek to make the brunette look up at him. The Heisei Holmes' cheeks were flushed red, his eyes half-lid and mouth hanging a little open as he was panting breathlessly. Saguru swallowed hard.
"Are you unharmed, Kudou-kun?" Saguru kept his voice gentle. "Did he-?"
"Get kicked in the crown-jewels for grabbing my ass? Yes, he did," Shinichi's voice was flat, a little annoyed. "I am not a damsel in distress, your assistance is not required, Hakuba-kun."
"You're dangerously close to your heat," countered Saguru seriously. "Why did you even come to this heist, Kudou-kun? You... This is dangerous. Please allow me to bring you to your hotel."
"I don't have a hotel," admitted Shinichi, his face darkening even more, this time in embarrassment. "I didn't have time to book something. I thought I'd just take the next train back afterward."
"You drove here by train, this close to your heat, and had plans of going back alone at night...?"
"I didn't know my heat was this close. It only started getting bad when I got off the train," the embarrassment in Shinichi's voice rose. "I... lost track of time. Between cases and then the heist note, I was so captured by solving the riddle and then hurried here, I didn't..."
Leave it to Kudou Shinichi to forget his own heat because he had cases on his mind. Saguru heaved a sigh and leaned down to grasp Shinichi by the underside of his knees, hoisting him up in his arms. The other detective made a protesting sound, yet despite it, he clung onto Saguru.
"What did I just say, Hakuba-kun?" Shinichi sounded irritated. "Unhand me now, alpha."
"This will be much faster. You're wobbly on your legs. Please be reasonable. I don't wish to take all night going back to my hotel," Saguru adjusted him a little as he started walking.
/break\
Kaito was anxious as he flew through the night-sky. Today's heist had not been fun and it had been cut short by Kaito's worries. He had come to Kyoto with his mate, so he knew for a fact that Saguru was going to attend the heist. The lack of his boyfriend was concerning. The lack of Shinichi was also concerning, because so far, Shinichi had not missed a single heist. Even the ones that were outside his jurisdiction. Both of his beloved detectives missing the heist though...?
"Sagu-chan? Are you here? Please be here," Kaito called out as he landed on their balcony.
Of course had they gotten a suite with a balcony; the perks of being two rich boys dating. When they had to go somewhere, they stayed comfortably. Saguru hastily exited the bedroom and relief filled Kaito. He immediately pulled the other alpha into a tight hug, burying his face in Saguru's neck and inhaling deeply. Which gave him pause, because Saguru didn't just smell like Saguru – leather-bound books and the musky forest – he also smelt like roses and lemon pie.
"Why do you smell like tantei-kun?" Kaito asked, rubbing his nose along Saguru's neck. "So he did come then? He wasn't at the heist either. I got... I got worried, when you didn't show up."
"Kudou-kun is... in the bedroom," offered Saguru. "I brought him here after I found him. I apologize for missing out on your heist and for not calling you, though... between finding Kudou-kun and bringing him here... How are you already here?"
"I cut the heist to the bare minimum and got out as quickly as I could. What do you mean found him? Did something happen? Is he hurt?" Kaito's voice grew frantic as he pushed past Saguru.
He tore open the door without even thinking about the fact that he was still KID and hadn't changed costume back to his regular Kaito outfit. All he could think about were his detectives and them being hurt. He'd thought that Snake or Spider, or any other such assassin, had gotten Saguru. Now, his fear was that they might have gotten Shinichi – and Kaito would never forgive himself.
"H... Hakuba-kun...?" Shinichi's voice was breathy, raw.
He was laying in the bed, curled together. Kaito swallowed hard. The scent on Saguru had only been mild, this was overwhelming. The entire room had been taken over by the omega's scent and the sharply sweet note to it told Kaito what was going on. Shinichi was going into heat.
"When I found him, an alpha had cornered him in an alley," Saguru whispered softly. "Admittedly, Kudou-kun had already kneed the man in the... privates, but... I clearly couldn't leave him behind."
"Of... Of course not," Kaito nodded slowly, still mesmerized by Shinichi on the bed.
"Ah... so I was... right after all," Shinichi was looking directly at Kaito, smiling crookedly. "Hakuba-kun really is dating Kaitou KID."
Both alphas' eyes widened as they looked at each other. Kaito winced, then laughed awkwardly.
"No, whatever made you think that? I'm just here to check up on my detectives. You know I care deeply about you, tantei-kun, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you."
Shinichi sat up, though he looked like that was a straining task right now. "That is... of course right. But you were calling him Sagu-chan. Only his boyfriend calls him Sagu-chan. And your scent... is always clinging onto Hakuba-kun. If I were to ever meet his boyfriend, I would smell your scent."
"Kudou-kun, my boyfriend is an alpha. Kaitou KID is a beta," argued Hakuba calmly.
Kaito could only nod wildly, feeling like he had swallowed his tongue. Kuroba Kaito, lost for words. Now there was a new thing. Shinichi snorted and shook his head, sitting with his legs dangling over the edge of the bed now, though his eyes were trained on the couple.
"The artificial beta-scent might fool the police and bystanders from afar, it's good enough to mask your real scent. But you've carried me in your arms often enough, pressed against your chest, that I've smelt your real scent through the fake masking beta-scent you apply, KID-san. I know what you smell like. And from the moment I met Hakuba-kun, I could smell you all over him," Shinichi paused, running shaky fingers through sweat-soaked hair. "I figured that you were friends. You went to the same high school, as did Nakamori-keibu's daughter. I could smell you on her too."
"I would like to ask about these many times that you have carried Kudou-kun," requested Saguru.
"Ahahaha," Kaito forced a laugh, shifting awkwardly from one foot to the other.
He'd pushed Saguru to get to know Shinichi, but he had never actually told him why. Because tantei-kun's secret was not Kaito's to share – and Kaito knew how close Shinichi held that secret.
"...You never told him," Shinichi frowned curiously, looking at KID. "You didn't tell your mate."
"It's not my secret to tell. I promised you I'd guard your secret. That's the promise I made, that's the promise I have been keeping. No clauses about exceptions," Kaito smiled amused.
Shinichi rested his hands behind his body and leaned back some, tilting his head back too. Both alphas were drawn to the way Shinichi's throat was bared, the way his legs were spread just a bit too wide to be casual. The omega's scent was also getting to their heads.
"We've met before, Hakuba-kun," Shinichi hummed softly, turning to look at the blonde. "The first time we met, I went by a different name. And a different face. Edogawa Conan, that is."
Kaito turned to watch Saguru's reaction. The way his eyes widened, he could see the calculations happening behind them. Then, Saguru's face set again, in certainty. Though there was still doubt.
"You do look... startling alike. He left just before you reappeared, from what I've heard. He was the KID killer, the only one aside from me to come so close to catching KID, and now you're here," summed Saguru up. "But... how is that... even possible? It can hardly have been a disguise, the way KID does them. You were a tiny child. An actual child."
Saguru turned to look at Kaito curiously, but the thief could only shrug. "I don't know either."
"You... don't," Shinichi turned and blinked repeatedly. "But you never... asked. I assumed you knew, the way you figured out that I'm me, you figured out why."
"Nope. Just the who not the how," Kaito shrugged. "And... it felt unfair to pry, considering I never offered you my truth in return either. Hardly could, with the threat of jail."
"Your name is Kuroba Kaito. You became KID because your father was KID before you. I assume you are investigating the circumstances of his death and that they are linked to being KID."
"Uhm..." Kaito nodded slowly and then, finally, dropped his costume. "If you already even figured that out, no need for play pretend. Kuroba Kaito, at your... service, I suppose. But... how?"
"You may have evaded meeting me in person so far, to the point that Sonoko believes Hakuba-kun has only made you up, but your boyfriend and your best friend still talk about you. I've heard the name Kuroba Kaito a lot by now. Linking him to your scent was a simple conclusion. And I remember your father, Toichi. He was a friend of my father's. I looked him up, I saw that the date of his death coincides with the first disappearance of Kaitou KID."
"Ah... huh," Kaito sat down, because this was a lot to digest.
Hakuba, still level-headed, decided to stay up, standing in front of Kaito and Shinichi on the bed. Perhaps Kaito shouldn't have sat down next to the omega. The scent was truly enchanting. Mouth-watering. Kaito swallowed hard, trying to resist the urge to touch Shinichi. Not even in an inappropriate manner – though his mind conjured up images of how much fun that would be – but simply... seeking comfort in touching the omega he loved, holding him, basking in his scent.
"Sit down, Hakuba-kun, you are making me feel like a criminal being interrogated, instead of like a friend having a conversation," ordered Shinichi with a frown, patting the bed.
Reluctantly did the blonde sit down on Shinichi's other side, making the omega hum.
"I was... being a nosy, reckless detective," Shinichi chuckled softly and got more comfortable. "I observed a deal among criminals but I didn't... They knocked me out and poisoned me. It was supposed to kill me, but it was... faulty. Instead, it shrunk me. I've been working with the FBI to take down the organization they belong to. And... I did it. I got my body back, because the scientist who made the poison figured out an antidote for it."
"The scary little nee-chan?" Kaito raised his eyebrows. "I suspected she's like you."
Shinichi chuckled, still adjusting himself. He settled down, finally, laying on the bed curled together. It seemed to sooth him to have Kaito and Saguru on either side of him, which made both alphas feel incredibly proud. To be considered safe by the omega they liked – and yes, Kaito knew that Saguru liked Shinichi too by now, it was the main reason why it was absolutely killing Kaito that he hadn't gotten to meet Shinichi in civilian form yet. It seemed his worries about Shinichi figuring out who he was had been for naught already. He could have befriended Shinichi weeks ago.
"You should rest some, tantei-kun," Kaito's voice was soft as he reluctantly reached out for Shinichi's hair, gently running his fingers through it. "You're exhausted."
"Heats su—uck," Shinichi groaned, resting his cheek on Kaito's thigh. "You're lucky you're alphas."
"Ruts are not exactly a joyride either, Kudou-kun," offered Saguru seriously.
"Well, I usually get to have a 'joyride' during your rut," Kaito leered and winked at Saguru.
"Neither the time nor the place, Kaito," chided Saguru flustered.
Shinichi between them chuckled softly, nuzzling more into his comfortable position. His eyelids fluttered close as he slowly drifted off. Kaito's heart felt so full simply looking at him.
"Sagu-chan," Kaito's voice was a pleading whisper.
"Don't say it," requested Saguru, heaving a deep sigh. "With his scent everywhere and after what just went down, I do not have the strength to argue with you."
Kaito grinned pleased by that. So he had worn Saguru down, then. He'd been nudging the blonde into adding Shinichi to their mate-bond since Shinichi had come back. Yawning, Kaito let himself fall backward onto the bed. He was pretty tired too, actually.
/break\
Shinichi was woken up by light laughter from KID. Kaito. Mh. He liked the way that name sounded in his head. A faint smile found its way onto his lips as he nuzzled closer into the nest. No, wait. He didn't have a nest here. Furrowing his brows, he slowly sat up, just to realize he was laying on top of KID's cape. Actually, not just on top of, he had it wrapped around himself. Where...?
"You woke up at three twenty-four and forty-eight seconds and grumbled about the nest not being right. I don't think you were quite awake, but you pulled what little clothes we brought with us for this trip and built a nest. You were most delighted when you spotted Kaito's cape."
Frown deepening, Shinichi buried himself into the cape. It smelt so safe. Like KID. Without meaning to, he started purring pleased, curling tighter together. Hakuba tried to get up, just for Shinichi to growl annoyed and turn to glare at him instead. The alpha froze immediately.
"No leaving, alpha," warned Shinichi annoyed.
"I... I'm sorry?" Hakuba sounded confused, though he sat down again.
Again, Shinichi started purring contently. Having his alphas in his nest was incredibly soothing.
"You can be so sweet, tantei-kun," Kaito's voice was teasing, though his fingers were gentle as they played with Shinichi's hair. "So very unlike the smug little bastard you can be."
"Oh, says the right person," Shinichi huffed and tilted his head to glare at the thief, just to note the other wasn't wearing his costume-shirt anymore. "...Can I have your shirt, KID-san?"
"...What?" Kaito grunted startled, though he produced the required item.
Shinichi sat up and quickly unbuttoned his own shirt. He could smell the spike of alpha-arousal as he was shirtless, which was both confusing and flattering. Though then he put on Kaito's shirt.
"I could get you fresh clothes from the hotel store," offered Hakuba, earning a growl. "Or I could call the reception and place an order for them without leaving this room."
That appeased the omega, though Shinichi shook his head. "No. This does nicely. Feels... safe."
"I'm trying very hard not to tease you because I am genuinely honored and touched, but also..."
"Yes, yes, tease me," Shinichi rolled his eyes. "You make me feel safe. It can not be much of a surprise to you, considering how often you've saved me, how you have kept my secret safe. When I fall, I know I can trust you to fly by and save me. You are safe."
The alpha looked so smugly proud at that, it was kind of adorable. Sighing, Shinichi rolled back together on his nest. Without meaning to, he snuggled up closer to Saguru. To make sure the alpha wouldn't try and sneak off again. He could feel the blonde stiffen when Shinichi laid down half on top of him, even holding his breath as to not disturb the omega.
"I... suppose I am safe too?" Saguru deducted, carefully wrapping an arm around Shinichi.
"You did try to save me yesterday, however unnecessary it was," Shinichi smiled a little, nuzzling into Saguru's chest. "You are... pleasant and I like you quite a lot."
"I make my tantei-kun feel safe," chimed Kaito happily, laying down facing them.
Shinichi rolled over enough to look at the thief. He frowned at the distance between them, so he reached out to grab Kaito's hand and pull him closer until the alpha was pressed against him from behind. Being sandwiched between the two alphas he liked made him feel so content.
"I need to call the professor, let someone know that I won't be able to get back home this weekend so they won't worry," noted Shinichi. "...Will you stay with me?"
"What a silly question, tantei-kun," Kaito pressed a gentle kiss to Shinichi's shoulder. "I will always be there for my detectives when they need me, of course. Whatever you need."
"I need to... not be your detective," Shinichi frowned. "I need to... I want to be your... omega."
He turned to look at Kaito and then turned toward Saguru, flushing just a little. He had put one and one together not long after meeting Saguru – about KID's identity and that Saguru was KID's mate.
"When I... learned about you... I was... disappointed, Hakuba-kun," admitted Shinichi.
He averted his eyes in shame, though Hakuba didn't move away from him. He stayed right where he was, beneath Shinichi. Comfortable and warm. Carefully did the blonde reach out to take his hand, holding it and squeezing it in an encouraging manner. The other detective could tell that Shinichi wasn't done talking yet, that there was more to it. Closing his eyes, Shinichi breathed deeply.
"I... I thought, for months before turning back to my old body, I wanted to..."
Shinichi blushed furiously, hating to admit this aloud but knowing he needed to say this now, while he was still in his right mind, if he wanted to convince the alphas to stay with him. Kaito wrapped his arms around Shinichi's waist, holding him close and safe.
"You can tell us anything, tantei-kun. After what you confided in us last night..."
"I wanted to ask you to court me, KID," blurted Shinichi out, keeping his eyes squeezed shut so he wouldn't have to look at either alpha. "The... chase. I know I was just an unpresented brat back then. But to me... it meant everything. I was so... used to being underestimated, not taken seriously... but you never did that. You took me as your equal. Which... is more than I got even before I was shrunk. You know how many alphas in the police department just scoff at some omega detective?"
"I am very attentively listening to you, but I'm also still hung up on you... wanting me to court you."
"Right," Shinichi chuckled dryly, covering his face with his hands. "I am in love with you, KID. And I thought... after I... get my body back, I wanted to ask you out. But then I pieced together that you had a... mate... and I... was disappointed and angry, honestly."
"I'm sorry I make you feel that way, Kudou-kun. I... cherish our friendship," offered Hakuba.
"Made," corrected Shinichi, peeking out between his fingers in embarrassment. "You made me feel like that. But then we... did become friends. And I cherish our friendship too. You're... the kind of alpha I've never met before. You don't put up with my Holmes rants as a downside to spending time with me. You are... refreshing to be around. I... like you, Hakuba-kun."
Licking his lips, Shinichi lifted his head to look at Hakuba. The blonde looked surprised by that.
"I might not be in love with you yet, the way I am with KID, but I like you a great deal," Shinichi continued, biting his lower lip. "I want you to stay with me during my heat, not as my friends. But... But as my... lovers. As my alphas."
There. He had actually put it all out. And he blamed his heat for it. Talking about his emotions wasn't something that he was very comfortable with. But this was different, because he wanted them, he craved them, he hated the idea of them leaving again.
"I... I'm sorry," Kaito leaned over Shinichi to look at his face. "I really shouldn't have hid from you, because then we could have had this conversation much sooner. I love you too, tantei-kun."
"Y... You do?" Shinichi turned and stared at the thief in surprise. "But Hakuba-kun..."
"I also love him," replied Kaito with a broad grin. "I love the both you. And I have been whispering into Sagu-chan's ear for weeks now about how wonderful you are and what a great addition to our relationship you would be, Shin-chan."
"He has," confirmed Saguru with a small sigh. "It was very agitating at first, when I didn't know you yet. But you are... The better I got to know you, the more... appealing I found you. Your intellect, your personality, your... physique. You're... the most fascinating omega I ever met."
"...Really?" Shinichi flushed, flattered by that.
He sat up abruptly and looked at both alphas. Yes, he had told him how he felt, hopeful they would accept him, at least for this weekend. Just sex would have been enough. He hadn't expected romantic advances, not since learning that those two were a mated pair.
"Can I kiss you now, Shin-chan?" Kaito asked eagerly, hopefully.
The thief leaned in closer and closer, tilting his head. Shinichi stared, his mouth hanging open a little bit. Was this really happening? Was he actually going to kiss Kaitou KID? Closing his eyes tightly, Shinichi leaned toward him until their lips touched. Shinichi gasped into their kiss and Kaito used the opportunity to slip his tongue in, teasing Shinichi's. By the time they parted, Shinichi was actually sitting on Kaito's lap, legs on either side of the thief's body. He was flushed, panting.
"I wanted to kiss you for so long now, KID-san," whispered Shinichi in awe.
"You... can call me Kaito, you know," Kaito grinned teasingly, tilting his head.
Shinichi's cheeks flushed more and he leaned his head forward to hide his blush in Kait's neck. "That is still new to me. Give me some time to adjust to that, stupid thief."
"I... will call Aoko-chan and inform her that we will be expanding our stay and ask her to inform Mouri-chan that you are safe and taken care of, Kudou-kun," offered Hakuba as he got up.
Shinichi made a displeased noise at that and reached for Hakuba's sleeve to hold him. "No leaving."
"You are... adorably clingy during your heat," whispered Kaito, kissing Shinichi's cheek.
"It's only natural," defended Shinichi annoyed. "Omegas are more... vulnerable during this time. Seeking safety and the protection of their alpha is a logical reaction to that."
Hakuba's cheeks darkened and his eyes widened as he slowly sat down again. "I simply wanted to give the two of you a... moment alone, since you share a... connection."
"I might not be in love with you yet, the way I am with KI... Kaito-kun, but I do care deeply about you and... I feel... safe with you too, Hak... Saguru-kun," Shinichi avoided Hakuba's gaze.
"Tsundere," whispered Kaito with a smirk, kissing Shinichi's cheek.
"Shut up, stupid thief," Shinichi grumbled and climbed out of Kaito's lap.
"I take it back! I take it all back, please come back, I like you in my lap!" Kaito whined softly.
"Such a big baby," Shinichi rolled his eyes, turning toward Hakuba. "I just... want to... kiss..."
Again, he averted his eyes, partially shy and partially embarrassed. He reached out with one hand, resting it in Hakuba's neck to pull the other detective in until they met in a soft, gentle kiss. Hakuba wrapped his arms around Shinichi's waist and pulling him closer, until he was now the one with the omega on his lap. Shinichi happily adjusted on his new, comfortable spot.
"Will I be allowed to call Aoko-chan if I don't leave the bed?" asked Saguru fondly.
"Mh... yes," Shinichi nodded a little and rested his cheek on Saguru's shoulder.
"Very good," Saguru's voice was gentle and he was running a hand up and down Shinichi's spine.
"How about I call Aoko, while you cuddle our cute omega?" Kaito got his phone out.
"If he calls me cute again, I will kick him," warned Shinichi, his voice muffled.
"I'm afraid I have to side with Kaito on this one though," Saguru smiled a little. "You are... exceptionally cute when you're this cuddly and clingy, K... Shinichi-kun."
"You smell so—o good," Shinichi groaned, rubbing his nose along Saguru's collarbone. "I can't help it I just want to wrap myself in your scent, it's so comforting..."
Kaito, with his phone tucked between ear and shoulder, reached for his cape and draped it over Shinichi's shoulders, making the omega purr pleased as he indeed got to be wrapped up all in Saguru and Kaito's scents like that. By the time Kaito hung up, Shinichi seemed half-asleep.
"So, full disclosure, Shin-chan, I've never... spent an omega's heat with them, so... uh... What...?"
Now it was Kaito's turn to blush furiously, his entire face and ears dark-red. Shinichi turned to look at him curiously, blinking a couple of times. Then, suddenly, the detective started laughing loudly.
"I'm not going to have sex with you, perv!" Shinichi rolled his eyes. "We just got toge... Did we...?"
"Yes. In case the kissing wasn't obvious enough, Kaito and I would like for you to join our relationship, Shinichi-kun," assured Saguru, pressing a kiss to the top of Shinichi's head.
"We just got together, then," Shinichi nodded, looking relieved. "I'm not having sex with you yet."
"Huh. I just thought... heat and... all that..." Kaito motioned awkwardly, still blushing.
"Sure, it makes me horny, but being horny doesn't mean you have to have sex. I just... want you to be with me, to comfort me, hold me... smell the way you smell," Shinichi shrugged a little. "Okay?"
"Yes, that's very okay," Kaito smiled and leaned in to kiss Shinichi softly. "Anything you need."
Shinichi sighed contently and closed his eyes, snuggling up against his alphas. That sounded good.
