Summary: Writer's Month Prompts: heat + enemies to lovers. Kaitou KID was a thief, a detective's natural enemy. Then why was there this heat in their gaze, this pull between them?

Magnetism of the Moment

Writer's Month 2022

They were enemies, of that, Shinichi had been so sure. Shinichi was a detective. Kaitou KID was a thief. A criminal. And a criminal, on principle, was the enemy of a detective.

It was supposed to be that clear. It had always been this clear. And then this white-clad agent of chaos had entered his life. Turning everything upside down, with an infuriatingly charming smile. The criminal who did more good than he did harm for the most part. Who presented fascinating riddles and excitement for Shinichi and who had presented a partner in crime-fighting for Conan on more than one occasion. Taking down terrorists and art forgers together.

It had been much easier to keep that line between them up, that facade of them being enemies, when Shinichi had still been Conan. Because he was stuck in that child's body, there wasn't much he could do, he was limited in his ability to help and had needed KID's assistance. Now that he had his full body back, now that they were on equal grounds, the lines started to blur more.

He had less excuses now to accept the thief's help. And when he did, he was no longer a kid being manhandled, he was a young man, standing next to another young man. There was a heat building up between the two of them. A draw that became more undeniable the longer this went on.

"KID," Shinichi gritted his teeth, facing off with the thief once again.

"Meitantei," KID offered the same cheeky grin as always.

Without thinking about it did the two of them step closer toward each other. Pulled together by an invisible force, like magnetism. Well, that sounded quite fitting, didn't it? Magnets were drawn together on account of being polar opposites. That truly was what they were. Two opposites.

"You're infuriating," Shinichi furrowed his brows. "Did you have to antagonize Nakamouri-keibu so much? I'm the one who has to sit through the debriefing with him, you know?"

"Aw, I'm so sorry," KID looked anything but sorry. "I could kiss it better, if that'll help?"

"How do you figure that that could help in any way or shape?"

"Then why," KID's voice had dipped to a whisper. "Are you standing this close?"

Which was when Shinichi noticed that only a breath separated him from KID. His hand was on the thief's tie, holding it tight. He could feel the heat radiating off KID's body, refreshing in the icy-cold night air. KID's lips just in front of him. So close that Shinichi nearly touched them when he licked his own lips. The pull was still there though and Shinichi felt himself leaning in even more. Their lips touched, surprising them both even though they had both leaned in. KID wrapped his arms around Shinichi. Magnets, that was the only way he could explain this.

Author's note: One would THINK I'd use the "heat" prompt for ABOverse. But. I wasn't feeling ABOverse. So instead, have a little introspect into their relationship from a very agitated Shinichi :D
