Reluctant Hero

2. Kaito's first distraction


If Kaito had a chance to go back five years ago and tell one thing to his past self, it would be to never, ever get himself into anyone's debt.

But time travelling was never part of his options, so here he was, in this stupid, lavender-scented office and doing the unbelievable thing; helping another who treated justice like it was part of their damn soul. He tried not to care more than focusing on how this would mean clearing one favour from Shinichi's damn list, and that thought did help to distract himself from the fact that Nakamori Aoko had really fine eyelashes too.

After the stupid discussion and the stupid plan in action, everything ended well like how he thought it would (Nakamori Aoko might have some flair in acting, really). This would be the end of Shinichi's third favour, and there would be two more to go. Fantastic.

"So," Shinichi said at the moment when Kaito was about to walk out of the Nakamori's Aoko office door. "Will you two work together again?"

Kaito glanced at Aoko. He didn't have to think to know her answer, so he said it first, just because that would make him less like a loser. Sort of. "Never." He said

Nakamori Aoko shook her head firmly. "Never."

And he left, wondering why he waited there dumbly for three seconds to hear her reply.


A/N: SUrprise! here's another KAIAO AU that I have been working on for quite a while (ok what's so surprising about this, really?)
But ok, here's the thing. I always wanted to try writing duo POV for a scene, and TADAHHH so I'm trying out this format where two "chapters" will be posted every time I update, with Aoko and Kaito's POV posted alternatively. Hope you guys will like... this? It kinda gives more insights, I supposed, and more "behind the scenes" for each scenes too. Oh. "Scene-ception" lmao
I'm already 12k words in and I'll slowly be posting them as I continue writing/editing further, but it's still a little far from done. But, ya know, Reviews are kinda.. a great motivation, hahah *hints hints*
