Chapter 10
Shinichi could hardly gaze at his mate; Kaito. Who was staring at the tablecloth in their restaurant of choice with an impassive face, making Shinichi try to set as still as he can and not fret, being thankful for his training that permit him to collect his emotions and not let them appear on his face, for if they did, everybody with three miles radar will notice that Shinichi was stepping on a narrow line and that he was a minute away from a panic attack. As often as Shinichi wished that everything will return to normal and that this dinner was a date, that the two of them will solve all of their problems, Shinichi knows that it was a ridiculous delusion that he shouldn't count on because there were so many reasons for Kaito to reject to come back to him, and the primary one is him being a Shirosaki.
"I should just end things and leave you." Kaito said after a lengthy while of silence, his words making Shinichi's heart stutter in his rib cage at the statement, but Shinichi steeled himself, watching for Kaito's next words. "But the fact is; I am not weak, I am not someone who will give up and quit just because you changed greatly or that you have a different family… I am not a hypocrite to leave you just because you are a felon now, specifically when I am one myself." These words shocked Shinichi for a second, but in the back of his mind, he identifies that what Kaito said was true, and that made Shinichi relax slightly.
"You have every right to leave; I won't press you to settle with me, Kaito." Shinichi explained gently to the Omega, wishing him to see that he isn't bound to remain with him just because they were once upon time mates, wanting Kaito to realize that he has a choice and that Shinichi will honor that decision no matter what it was.
Kaito's lips twitch up in a bitter smile which made Shinichi swallow, marveling what he needs to do to convince Kaito that he was sincere in his pledges, that he respects Kaito, that he cares for him so much that just the thought of forcing Kaito into a relationship made Shinichi sick to the bones. "I know, but the fact is… I can't let go… no matter how much I know it was unhealthy and that it simply meant heartache and pain, but I still love you. It is the alternative version of you I'm not certain about, and I wish to change that, I need to get to know you once again, but the thing is… I am scared." Kaito whispered these words like saying them out loud will cause his fears come true, that it will destroy everything between them and that they two of them will wake up later only to discover that this fantasy was just a dream, something Shinichi was feeling at the moment.
"You are scared of me and my family and those associated with me… I can see why you are distrustful of being mixed with a Yakuza family." Shinichi said with a soft tone, a sympathetic smile adorning his face, struggling to mask how much his heart was aching at the thought of his mate fearing him that he declined to give him a chance.
Kaito though only shook his head, which made Shinichi frown in confusion, not realizing what Kaito meant by that. "I am afraid of what's coming Shinichi… what if we get together again… what if… what if I wake up and this was nothing but a fantasy I was living in for years, what if… what if the next time I wake up I will be notified that you are actually dead, dead and didn't survive by a miracle this time, I can't deal with that Shinichi, the first time I practically died, it hurts, I can't go through it again, please…" Kaito's voice broke as he spoke those words, tears start pouring down his face.
And Shinichi, he completely understood what this was all about, he finally understood that Kaito for all of his fierce and logical mind, he was frightened that history will repeat itself, that Shinichi will go in on a dangerous mission once more, but this time, Shinichi won't draw a miracle in time, and that the next time he will wind up dead for certain, a compromise that Shinichi was conscious of, for he was the head of his Yakuza family, which meant that his life was in danger twenty-four/seven and that he could die in the time between now and tomorrow.
Shinichi sighed as he rose up and moved to where Kaito was resting, pulling the Omega in his embrace tightly, shushing him gently whispering comforting words in hope of soothing his mate. "I'm not going to die." Shinichi said after Kaito calmed down, which made Shinichi relax and draw aside, wiping the tears that tint the Omega's cheeks, hoping Kaito can see the confidence in his face. "I'm not leaving anywhere, I'm here." Shinichi's words though only gained a whimper from Kaito and not long after that, he was pushed away by the Omega.
"You said the same thing, eight years ago, only to go behind my back and form a contract with a witch! Can't you see that I will be ruined completely if the same happens now? I barely survived your death the first time; I can't deal with it a second time Shinichi!" Kaito's voice broke down and Shinichi swallowed, struggling to steady his thumping heart lest he became extremely emotional to be rational with his mate.
"You won't lose me this time Kaito, I assure you, I'm not like who I was years ago, just like I realize you are not the Kaito you were years ago, things are going to be different this time around, so please." Shinichi plea with the pacing Omega hoping that his Kaito will believe him this time, that he wouldn't leave Shinichi and run away because he can't handle the heartache that was living with a Yakuza boss with the face of his dead lover.
"Different?" Kaito stopped his pacing and shift to Shinichi with a grimace. "How different? Just because you turned into a Yakuza didn't mean that our enemies are gone, Shinichi! Gin is still out there. How long do you expect it will take before he recognizes that you are alive? Did you forget about the new enemies you created because you are now the head of the Shirosaki family? How long do we have before one of them success in murdering you? And what about me then? I will be forced to work and mend the shattered pieces once more because you are too stubborn to withdraw down from a fight, and I explained to you I can't handle another heartbreak!" Kaito shouted only to end his conversation by putting his head in his palms and drawing a deep breath to calm himself down, and not for the second time, Shinichi was thankful that they are in a separate room away from the center of the restaurant or the scene that Kaito just made will be plastid on every newspaper by tomorrow's morning if they weren't.
"You needn't worry, the Shinigami will deal with everything; you don't have to be scared, Kaito." Shinichi tried once again to convince the Omega only for Kaito to lift his head and growl at Shinichi, which made Shinichi back away slightly at the display of hostility that Kaito just presented.
"The Shinigami? How long do you think you have before he stabs you in the back because he picked up a better deal than being a hound dog for the Shirosaki family. The Shinigami is not to be trusted! How can you trust him when he can stab you in the back any minute he chooses?" Kaito hissed as he power walked until he was standing right in front of Shinichi, confronting him with head held high, the only reason that Shinichi didn't yell back was the dread he discovered buried in Kaito's eyes, which caused him to draw a slow breath and gaze at Kaito's eyes, hoping that he will make the stubborn Omega understand.
"He won't deceive me, Kaito, trust me, he can't." Shinichi said through grated teeth, wondering when did their conversation about returning together turn into an argument about Shinichi's doomed fate that Kaito was so certain will take place, and it caused him to think if he will be able to work through Kaito's stubbornness and earn his confidence once more.
"And how do you know that?" Kaito cried out as he thrusts his hands up, which made Shinichi massage the bridge of his nose, struggling to quiet himself down before he blurs out something that he will regret. "See you don't know, do you?" Kaito growled, and that was the moment that Shinichi snapped.
"I know because I am the fucking Shinigami!" Shinichi snapped, only to realize what he did too late, his eyes widen a fraction, and he gazed at Kaito who has too many emotions passing over his face, gazing at Shinichi with a pale face and wide eyes, and Shinichi's heart starts pounding in his throat, thinking that this was it and that Kaito will certainly leave him for good because it was one thing being the Shirosaki heir, it was another being the Shinigami.
The silence grew between them, and Shinichi was losing hope every minute passed when Kaito didn't do anything, and just before he gave up, Kaito's words chilled him. "Oh, I should have noticed." Kaito muttered, crossing his arms over his chest, gazing at Shinichi with a reserved expression, and Shinichi didn't know what's best, having Kaito screaming at him, or having him staring at Shinichi with a calculating look on his face. "With your experience and intelligent mind, you being a Shirosaki, the Shinigami appearing a year and a half after your disappearance…" Kaito burse his lips gazing at Shinichi up and down and Shinichi wondered why Kaito didn't scream bloody murder and rush to the door like he had expected him to. "Does Tou-San know?" Kaito ended up asking after a cautious silence settled on them. The question was odd in a way, but Shinichi ended up nodding, which caused the Omega hum at that.
"What are you thinking?" Shinichi finally found the courage to ask, fearing if he just made the mistake of his life, fearing that when the shock leaves Kaito's system, the Omega will want nothing to do with him anymore, but Shinichi hoped from Kaito's reaction that the Omega was considering letting Shinichi explain instead of running straight to Tokyo's law enforcement and give Shinichi's identity away.
Kaito looked at his feet before shrugging his shoulders. "Can't honestly decide, though I can't judge you, being a jewel thief and all," Kaito sighed before he lifted his head to stare at Shinichi with a serious look. "Here is what I think we should do, we are both going in our separate ways, with you giving me a week for everything to sink in; I will give you my answer by the end of the week." Kaito said which made Shinichi let out a sigh, depressed at the Omega's decision, but being thankful that it wasn't a straight-out 'No', which meant he still had a chance with the Omega.
"I will give you as much time as you need, Kaito, I just want you to know that whatever your decision is, I will respect it." Shinichi said, and he felt proud of himself when a pleasant smile took over Kaito's face, and his guarded eyes softened to display warmth glowing in them, and for a second, the world just stops spinning and Shinichi was struck with the beauty before him.
Shinichi can only hope…
It had been a week, a week with no word from Kaito, a week with nothing, it was like the Omega had evaporated into thin air, and Shinichi was heartbroken and irritate at that. He wasn't irritated at Kaito leaving, nor the stinking rejection he got, what he was bitter about was the Omega disappearing and not show up even to inform him of rejecting him, running away like a coward which is a thing that Shinichi never imagined Kaito to be. It wasn't like Shinichi would have shouted and screaming and created a scene if Kaito refused to come back to him, he realized, he accepted that one day Kaito was going to leave him, either for him being a Shirosaki or the Shinigami, it would have been nice though if the Omega came face to face and informed him that he didn't want Shinichi anymore, he would have even admired the Omega for his courage for doing that. Though for Kaito to disappear from the face of the earth dor a week after the time they agreed to meet on broke Shinichi's heart, something that he made certain not to show in the presence of his mother and sister, lest they became concerned about him more than the two of them already are.
Shinichi rolled his eyes as he listened to the mantra and shouting from the fans outside of Haido Hotel, trying to ignore how they scream and chanted 'KID's name over and over repeatedly, going wild even when the police tried fiercely to block them from getting too close to the hotel. It had shocked him that KID himself has issued a challenge to the Shinigami, something that the thief never did even when Shinichi stole all of his targets, but it sounds like the thief had had enough, as he issued the challenge to the Shirosaki clan, informing them that he was expecting the Shinigami on the rooftop of Haido's hotel.
At first, Shinichi was not going to come, after all, he had more urgent matters to be concern about, but when Kaito seemed to have start avoided him, Shinichi had nothing to take his mind off his heartbreaking other than going to KID's heist.
Today's target was the famous sapphire that was called the "Shinigami's Tear" which was ridiculous in a sense, the irony was too much to Shinichi's taste, but he had to admit the story behind the sapphire was charming even when it was a heartbreaking, and it was fitting in a way.
Reaching the roof, Shinichi opened the door, not a fan of stealth this time, too tired and angry for trying to sneak up on the thief but still wanting to know what the thief in white wanted. "You are late!" Shinichi's eyes stalked the figure in white when he said those words, letting out a hum as he walked and closed the door behind him, Shinichi's can feel the thief's gaze on his scythe, which made Shinichi wonder if what the thief motivation was for inviting him.
"I came." Shinichi gave a short answer which made the thief hum, ignoring the way Shinichi's eyes trailed on the sapphire that the thief was throwing and catching in midair. "The jewel," Shinichi ordered, raising his right hand expecting the thief to give him the jewel, only for the thief to give him a smirk and pocketing the jewel which made Shinichi's scowl harshly under his hood.
"Nah, I think I will keep this one, after all, I think it's only fair after you stole my targets, don't you think?" The thief cheekily offered and Shinichi's already thin patient starts wearing off, he had to take a step back and take a deep breath, trying to stop himself from attacking the idiot thief who was asking for it.
"Then please do tell; why did you invite me here?" Shinichi grated out, wishing that he was home right now, sulking inside his office, hoping that Kaito will show up and explain himself, telling him why he ignored Shinichi for two weeks straight, instead he was in this stupid heist with a thief that was too infuriating.
Shinichi saw how KID shifted uncomfortably from leg to leg before he starts walking toward Shinichi, and against his better judgment, Shinichi stayed in his place, looking at the thief who stood in front of him. "To give you my answer," Shinichi made a confusion sound but when the thief raised his head, Shinichi's eyes widen in recognition.
"And… what will that be?" Shinichi whispered, fearing that if his voice gets any louder, this dazzling dream will vanish, and in the back of his mind, Shinichi scolds himself for not putting two and two together when Kaito told him that he was a jewel thief, after all, the only thief who had any experience in magic and was around for more than twenty years was the one and only Kaitou KID, and Shinichi was sure if Toichi got any wind of this the man will laugh himself to death and call both Kaito and Shinichi idiots.
Kaito though only gave a nervous smile as he chews his lips, pulling Shinichi down from his coat and kissing him. It was a gentle kiss that made Shinichi sigh in bliss as he felt Kaito's delicate lips under his. "KAITOU KID!" The manic shout behind Shinichi made him tense and draw away from Kaito's tempting lips, forcing the Omega behind him as he remained facing the police who were chilled in their places when they recognize him.
"You are so evil, Nakamori-Keibu! And it was getting good too!" Kaito whined behind him, and Shinichi had to check himself from letting out a grunt when he saw Nakamori opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water, his eyes refusing to shift away from Shinichi, and Shinichi noticed how the officers behind the inspector start shaking when they placed two and two together.
"You are the Shinigami!" The inspector choked out as he pointed at Shinichi with a finger, his shriek made Shinichi close his eyes and exhale through his nose already feeling a headache that was about to come, though Shinichi stayed still when he felt Kaito's arms around him, and the stifled giggles the Omega was struggling to keep with all his might.
"It's impolite to point your finger at someone, Nakamori-Keibu; I thought that you know better than this." Kaito said before placing his chin on Shinichi's shoulder, and for a second Shinichi wondered if the Omega was standing on his toes to do that, but he didn't pay it that much thought too satisfied that his mate was with him.
"You know him!" The inspector's shriek could be picked up all across the hotel's roof, and Shinichi was confident that even the fans could hear the deafening shriek the old man let out, the laugh Kaito let out at the exclaims he received was worth any trouble that Shinichi will suffer tomorrow.
"Of course I do! He is my Alpha, aren't you sugar?" Kaito cooed nuzzling Shinichi's cheek, Shinichi only let a hum turning his head toward Kaito which earned him a brief peck on the lips from the grinning Omega. When Shinichi turned his head to the law enforcement, he saw how pale and nervous they were, perhaps figuring out how long they have to live when it appeared that they were hunting the Shinigami's mate all along, some officials even whined and made a dash for it, which Shinichi tried desperately not to chuckle at the way they stepped on one another to escape the roof. "It was so good catching up, Nakamori-Keibu, but me and my darling, had a lot to do, bye, I'm not returning back the sapphire, thank you!" Kaito said cheekily when Shinichi start walking to the roof exit, and Shinichi can see the exhilaration on Kaito's face when they walked through the exit and no officer came after him, even Nakamori was frozen in his place opening and closing his mouth like a fish. Come tomorrow morning, every police officer in Japan will know that Kaitou KID was the Shinigami's mate, and thus, whoever dared to touch him will face the Shirosaki clan's wrath. Shinichi though, could only smile when he heard Kaito's joyful laugh…
This was worth it…
When they finally reached Kaito's safe house, Kaito was more than done, it nearly made him feral how Shinichi was so close yet so far away, within his reach but couldn't touch him. He decided to be bold feeling hot every time he remembered their kiss on the rooftop, so he rushed forward and quickly pull Shinichi from his jacket/coat, catching him off guard. He didn't want to come off as desperate, but he couldn't stand it anymore, he wants his Alpha and he wants him now. Kaito stood on his tiptoes to connect their lips, letting out a sigh when he heard the possessive growl coming from of Shinichi.
Shinichi looked at him wide-eyed full of lust and possessiveness putting a hand around his waist. That was good, Kaito reminded himself. It meant that he will feel his Alpha soon enough, after years and years. "Lie down." Shinichi ordered in a voice that had an undertone of growl making Kaito shiver but he nodded and went to the bed laying down and shivering when he saw the wild look in Shinichi that was hidden behind the mask of control that was shattering every second that pass.
There was a moment where Shinichi didn't say anything too busy gazing at him, making Kaito shiver at the dark hungry look his mate was sending him. Kaito gazed at Shinichi as he saw him pull off his coat, then undid his belt and folded everything neatly, even his socks. Kaito couldn't help but smile; it seems that some habits are hard to break.
"I'm ready for you, alpha." Kaito teased baring his neck and looked at Shinichi intensely, hiding his smile by biting his lower lip when he heard the growl coming from the Alpha standing over him ready to devour him whole, and part of Kaito felt pleased with the thought of his mate possessiveness. "Won't you take those off?" He asked cheekily as he pointed to the boxers Shinichi was wearing only to get a smug smile.
"After I'm done with you," Shinichi said as he pointed to the clothes that Kaito was still wearing. Shinichi was gentle, that much was clear to him after he unbuttoned the rest of his shirt and brushed it off. And Kaito grin when he smelled the arousal on Shinichi when the Alpha noticed what he was wearing. He had purchased a set of blue underwear with silver stars and stockings, something he knew that Shinichi would like; something that the two of them still didn't try even when the two of them were together years ago.
Shinichi brushed his hand along Kaito's sides and the gesture alone made him shiver. He'd never been touched like this ever since he lost Shinichi; his mate was still so considerate, still touching him like he was the most precious thing in the world, and he sighed contently and leaned into the touch.
The gasp and moans filled the room, and as much is it embarrassed Kaito that it was him who kept moaning and make noises, he couldn't help it, being touch after years by his mate once more was like heaven. Kaito gasp brokenly when Shinichi put his hand between his legs. He was already wet, it was a miracle he wasn't messing up the bed already. Shinichi in question was already lying next to him and cupped his cheek, hand still massaging his entrance. Kaito relaxed and let him push the first two fingers in. A third and a fourth followed within ten minutes. Everything went much slower, much gentler than Kaito remembered. And Kaito held onto Shinichi as he might drown.
"I'm ready." Kaito breathed out which made Shinichi kiss stealing whatever breath Kaito manages to catch. No amount of preparation had been able to prepare him for Shinichi. The stretch didn't hurt but was uncomfortable after years of being alone. But Kaito always liked a little pain.
Shinichi continued to touch every inch of skin his hands fell on, holding him tightly like something precious did and certainly Shinichi coos, telling him all would be alright. When Shinichi moved a while later, Kaito exhaled slowly. His Alpha was slow and tried to make him comfortable, Kaito felt his heart swell with emotions he couldn't contain anymore, and he pulled Shinichi kissing his harshly. After a while, Kaito couldn't contain his moans of pleasure anymore. He could feel how their pace got faster, how much Shinichi was rubbing against his pleasure spot making Kaito shiver in his place. Kaito had put his arms around Shinichi's neck relaxing completely against Shinichi and started babbling without his own consent. "Please, please, may I cum? Please, Alpha, I'll be good, so good-" At this point, not even Kaito knew what he said.
"You can. Cum for me, sweetheart." The nickname was enough for Kaito to come undone, his ring of muscles tightening. He could hear Shinichi roar too, but Kaito was too busy shivering in pleasure as the Alpha's knot was finally inside of him. He squirmed, trying to settle down. His body shivering from the phantom of pleasure, trying to take a deep breath and stops the purring that wanted to let loose when he felt Shinichi kissing his shoulders and neck. "Kaito…" Shinichi breathed his name, causing Kaito to blink and raise his eyes until their eyes met.
"I'm fine" Kaito murmured when Shinichi put his arms around him and start stroking his hair. Shinichi squeezed his hand and it helped to distract Kaito from the pleasure he was gaining every time his Alpha moved. "You really did well…" Kaito cooed just to be a little shit patting Shinichi on the cheek, which gained him a snort from the Alpha, making warmth spread in Kaito's body.
"You know you are a hazard to society, next time, come straight to me and tell me your answer instead of planning a heist." Shinichi dryly pointed out, but Kaito can see the amusement and smug look in his eyes, the Alpha wasn't even trying to hide it, and it made Kaito lose it and he starts laughing freely for the first time in years.
He never felt this light in years…
The End
So what do you think?
You know I had a lot of going back and forth if I should continue with the story, writing a few more chapters to it, but I then sat with myself and saw that it actually ended on a good note here, and if I tried to do any more writing to the story I will actually leave the story unfinished and may never continue it because the inspiration may as well leave me.
Right now I'm actually in a tough place, between moving into a new house, and the college finals, so the next chapter for my ShinKai story may be posted as late as October, but wish me luck!
On another lighter note! I have two ShinKai stories I plan on writing. The first one is a horror story, and the second one is an alternate story of this one I just finished. I will be really grateful if you vote for which one to write first, and I will promise I will post the first chapter for whatever story you vote for as fast as I can!
