Valentine's Scavenger Adventure
That day at Ekoda High School, the students were staying a bit later after school. The next day was the 14th of February after all, but because it was the weekend, the girls decided to give their Chocolates - both the Love and Friendship ones - that day instead. At one particular classroom - class 2-B to be exact, was full of students from both the class 2-B's and others. Why? Because there were three very famous students whose Home Class was in that very room.
One of them was a boy with blond hair and a pair of brown eyes who transferred from England around half a year ago. His name was Hakuba Saguru, and he was a Detective who decided to focus to capture Kaitou Kid - not that he had any luck in that case, since he hadn't managed to close the Kaitou Kid case even after half a year of him trying.
Regardless of his defeat to the Kaitou Kid though, he was still a very handsome teenager, so many girls were crowding around him to give him their Chocolates.
Another famous student was a girl with a long dark red - almost black - hair and a pair of red eyes. Her name was Koizumi Akako, and she had also transferred to Ekoda High School from another school in different area of Japan not too long after Hakuba transferred. She was of an exceptional beauty, and many boys worship the very ground that she walked on - even without her Special Ability, which only one boy in the whole Ekoda High School knew about since he was immune to it.
Although, because she was a girl, the people who crowded around her were the boys who wished to receive a Chocolate from her - even if it was only Friendship Chocolate.
The remaining famous student was a boy with wild dark brown hair and a pair of indigo colored eyes, who also happened to be the boy who was immune to Akako's Special Ability. He was more infamous than famous though, since he was known by all students and teachers at Ekoda High School as the Class Clown, and as the Magician Prankster.
Even so, the said Magician named Kuroba Kaito was a very charming and handsome boy, so many girls had a crush on him and decided to give him their Chocolates - oblivious to one particular information about the boy that should have prevented them from hoping to gain his heart, if only they knew.
Kaito - after receiving the last of the Chocolates from the girls, which was from his Best Friend and Sister whose name was Nakamori Aoko - looked at Akako's direction and grinned. He left his Chocolates on his desk and headed over in her direction. "Akako~" He called out cheerfully, "Can I have one of your Chocolates too~?".
Akako looked at Kaito and narrowed her eyes, and an instant later, Kaito and the whole classroom gasped when Kaito was pushed backwards and was then plastered onto the blackboard by invisible force.
"Oh? A new Magic trick?" One of the boy near Kaito asked with a sweat drop, "Don't scare us like that, Kaito-kun".
"Chigau~ (wrong)" Kaito whined with a pout, "This is not my doing." He then turned his pout to Akako, "Akako! Let me go! It's hard to breath when you do this, you know?".
"Then stay away from me, Kuroba-kun." Akako retorted with a frown of her own, "I don't want to summon the wrath of that Demon Husband of yours, so I won't give you any of my Chocolates." She was still traumatized by what had happened that day - which was months ago now, but that was a story for another time.
"That is not an excuse to do this to me!" Kaito protested as his pout deepened, "Besides, Shin-kun arranged that was because you were planning to steal me away from him! I assure you that he won't do it again if you only give me Friendship Chocolate".
"Really?" Akako demanded seriously.
"Really, Akako-chan." Aoko reassured her with a gentle smile, "He know that BaKaito here loves Chocolates, so he would ignore anyone who give them to Kaito as long as no one give it with the intention of stealing Kaito's heart".
Akako sighed and snapped her finger, causing Kaito to drop down onto the floor. Kaito was still pouting at her as he rubbed his sore behind, but it changed into a beaming smile when Akako sent one of her Chocolates to him with a mere gesture of her hand.
"Arigato, Akako!" Kaito cheered as he waved the Chocolate at her, which she nodded in answer.
"Wait, wait." Keiko - a girl with pig tail hair style, who was a friend of Aoko - raised her hands to halt them, "That was Akako-chan's doing?".
"What I want to know is…" Hakuba spoke then, looking at Kaito incredulously, "You're Married?".
"I can do Psychokinesis." Akako answered Keiko's question, "Although, I have been keeping it a secret because I don't want to be called a freak." She then looked at the rest of the classroom with pleading gaze, "So please, keep this a secret for me?".
Charmed, the whole class agreed.
"So, Married?" Hakuba repeated as he stared at Kaito.
"Yeah, I'm Married." Kaito confirmed with a nod, raising an eyebrow at Hakuba, "Got a problem with that?".
"No, but I'm wondering who in their right mind would marry you." Hakuba deadpanned at him.
"Oh, I'm sure you know of him, since he's pretty famous for being one of the people that the Media suspected to be the identity behind the Heisei Holmes." Aoko told Hakuba with a mischievous grin, since the news would surely shocked Hakuba Saguru to the core.
Some of the students who had been Kaito's classmates from childhood, and also went with him at the School Trip to Osaka many years ago, caught on. Keiko was one of them, and she immediately turned to face Kaito. "Kaito-kun!" She pouted at him, "Why didn't we get invited to the Wedding?!".
"Sorry, the Party was only for family and the people we considered as a family." Kaito apologized with a sheepish smile, pulling out his Wedding Ring that he had been wearing as a necklace while in class - since he only wear it on his Ring Finger outside of school.
"Oh well." Keiko sighed in disappointment, before smiling happily at Kaito, "Congratulation, Kaito-kun!".
Everyone else followed her example and congratulated Kaito, with Hakuba being the last one.
"Congratulation, Kuroba-kun." Hakuba said as he shook Kaito's hand, "But, who is your Husband?".
"First, Thank You." Kaito said with a smile to Hakuba, before said smile turned into a mischievous grin, making the rest of the class - except for Aoko, Akako, and Keiko - nervous. "My Husband is the one and only Son of the Mystery Writer Kudou Yusaku and the former Actress Kudou Yukiko." He proclaimed proudly, "As well as the skilled Violinist who hold a Charity Concert once in this very school per our Headmaster's request…".
"Ku- Kudou Shinichi?!" Hakuba Saguru - who Idolized Sherlock Holmes and the one being given the title of Heisei Holmes, the Naito Shin - cried out in shock. Then, unable to accept the fact that his number one suspect for being Kid was married to his number one suspect of being the Naito Shin, he promptly fainted.
"Well, you broke him." Aoko said with a grin.
"We broke him, Aoko." Kaito corrected her with a grin as well, before they high-fived each other.
"Any plan for tomorrow?" Aoko asked him curiously.
Kaito glanced at her and winked. "A Scavenger Hunt." He answered mischievously.

"Ohayou (Good Morning), Conan-kun!" Ran greeted him cheerfully first thing in the morning, just as he was walking out of the room that he shared with Kogoro.
"Ohayou, Ran-neechan." Conan answered with a yawn as he rubbed the sleepiness off from his eyes.
"Go ahead and freshen up." She told him with a smile, "I have prepared some Omurice for breakfast today".
Conan just hummed in answer before stumbling over to the bathroom, only to blink in surprise when he saw that a set of clean clothes have been prepared for him, and a folded paper was placed on top. He picked it up, unfolded it, and then proceeded to read it silently.
My Dear,
I have taken the liberty to free your schedule for the rest of the day, but fear not, your day won't be filled with boredom. Enjoy your Breakfast, for after that, you will have quite a busy day ahead of you.
2,7,14,2,14,11,0,19,4
Your Love
PS: Please give the PHYSICAL answer to Mouri Ran.
Conan took sometime to register what he saw, but then decided to put it away for later. It was still Morning and he didn't have the mentality to crack Kaito's riddle just yet, at least not until he had had his morning Mocha - while Ran still let him have some coffee, she wouldn't let him have Black Coffee.
Refolding the paper, he slip it into the pocket of the clean shirt, and then proceeded to have a warm shower. It helped him to wake up a bit more, but not enough unfortunately. Even though he decided to put Kaito's riddle away for later, he couldn't help but wanting to work on it sooner - so he quickly done his shower, toweling himself dry, and then wore the clean clothes while putting his pajama into the laundry box.
Conan walked out of the bathroom and made a beeline to the cup of Mocha that Ran had prepared for him, and he was awake at last - but Kaito's riddle regretfully got thrown away from his mind in the face of Coffee, even if it was mixed with chocolate in it. He sighed in contentment after having the first sip, then carefully walking over to the Dining Table with his precious Mocha in hands.
"Everyday, really." Ran muttered with a chuckle as she saw her shrunken Best Friend forget about everything else as he sipped on his Mocha, as if there was only him and the Mocha in the world.
Deciding to let Conan had his moment with his beloved Coffee, Ran went to the room where Conan and her Father sleep, and proceeded to pack the stuffs that she just knew the boy would need for his adventure later on that day. She also didn't forget to slip a bar of really, really dark chocolate - 90% Cocoa, really - into the small backpack, wrapped in a Sakura colored gift wrapper, and with a note stating not to open it until he arrived at the Last Stop and had received the Prize of his adventure.
That was done, Ran moved on to made Conan's bed - normally Conan did it himself later on, but she knew that he would want to go have his adventure as soon as possible - all the while ignoring her Father was still snoring away in his bed, who had been out late drinking again because there wasn't any case that week.
By the time Ran came out of her Father's room, she saw that Conan had finished his Mocha, so she sat down and have Breakfast together with Conan.
As they began having their Breakfast, Conan's mind finally returned to the paper that he found on top of his clean clothes this morning. He pulled it out of his pocket between a spoon of his Omurice, then reread it.
2,7,14,2,14,11,0,19,4 … That's not ASCII, Binary, or Hexadecimal, so that's leave Letter Number. Conan decided as soon as he saw the code. Let's see, since 0 is A, then … 2 is C, 7 is H, 14 is O … Huh? Conan blinked after he figured out what the answer to the code was.
2,7,14,2,14,11,0,19,4
C,H,O,C,O,L,A,T,E
CHOCOLATE. The answer was Chocolate.
Blinking again, he read the post script part of the letter once more.
PS: Please give the PHYSICAL answer to Mouri Ran.
Kaito had written the word physical with all caps, that would mean that he was supposed to give a Chocolate to Ran, instead of just saying the word. So he had to buy the Chocolate first, before giving it to Ran, and then he would probably received the next riddle for the Chocolate.
"Conan-kun." Ran - as though she could read his mind - called sternly, "Finish your Breakfast first".
"H- Hai (Yes)." Conan answered nervously - an angry Ran was dangerous after all - as he putting the letter back into his pocket again, and then continued to eat his Breakfast.

"Ran-neechan." Conan offered a bar of Milk Chocolate to her, and her favorite brand too, "Your Chocolate".
"Arigato (Thank You), Conan-kun." Ran answered as she accepted the Chocolate, and then she pulled a white card with Red Clover printed at the back, before offering it to him. "And here is the next riddle." She said with a smile, confirming his previous guess, "Also, I have prepared everything for your adventure in your backpack." She then winked at him, "Have fun!".
"Uh, sure." Conan answered in confusion, before Ran left him standing at the Living Room to go to her Bedroom. Shrugging, Conan looked at what was written on the white card, already excited for the next riddle.
8,',12_0_3,4,19,4,2,19,8,21,4_5,17,14,12_1,4,11,6,8,0,13_22,7,14_11,8,21,4_8,13_19,7,4_5,8,5,19,7_3,8,18,19,17,8,2,19,.
Another Letter Number? Conan thought to himself as he went to his shared room, before pulling out his notebook from his bag's side pocket. I wonder if he's going easy on me for some reason.
The answer turned out to be no. By the time he finished translating the Letter Number into Alphabet, he found that the translation itself was a riddle, and it was in English.
'I'm a detective from Belgian who live in the Fifth District.' was the translation.
Fifth district … Well, the Mouri Detective Agency is in Fifth District, but Kogoro-ojisan isn't from Belgian. Conan mused on the riddle, before smacking his forehead since the answer was quite obvious. Poirot! The answer is Poirot!
The Poirot Cafe got its name from a Belgian Detective in the novel written by Agatha Christie, and the Cafe was located at the Fifth District - right below the Agency in fact.
Conan grabbed one of his jacket and wore it, putting his notebook and pen inside one of the pockets, and then wearing his backpack. He ran out of the room and headed to Ran's Bedroom, grinning as he saw her on the bed, playing at her phone. He knocked then, to announce his presence. "I'm going out." He said once Ran looked at him.
"Have a safe trip." Ran answered with a smile while waving at him.
He waved back and rushed over to the Poirot Cafe, grabbing his new skateboard on the way out, since he felt like he was going to need it. The skateboard was Agasa-hakase's new invention that he called as 'Turbo Engine Solar Powered Skateboard', which would help him to travel between places around the town faster. It was especially helpful in a situation where he needed to chase after criminals.
Arriving at the Poirot, he quickly locked his sight on one Enomoto Azusa, the Waitress who worked at the Poirot. "Azusa-neechan!" He called out to her cheerfully, acting just like an excited kid that he appeared to be - well, he was excited, but he wasn't really a kid.
"Ah, Conan-kun!" Azusa greeted him with a wide smile, "I was wondering how long it would take for you to come here".
"You know that I'm good with riddles, Azusa-neechan." Conan bragged for a bit there, since it was a normal kid would do, even if they were also hiding their status of a genius at the same time - after all, anyone could find the answer to a riddle if they tried hard enough.
"I know." The Waitress replied with a chuckle, before pulling another white card with Red Clover printed on the back from her apron's pocket. "Here you go." She offered the card to him, "Your Nii-chan told me that everything is going to be harder from now on".
"Good! I love the challenge!" Conan's cheer was genuine then, for he really loved the challenge that Kaito's harder riddles provided.
"Before you go, Conan-kun." Azusa halted him just as he was about to read the next riddle, "This is for you." She handed him a small plastic box, and he could see that it has a single Spade shaped Chocolate inside, "It's Dark Chocolate, since Ran-chan said that you don't really like sweet".
"Arigato, Azusa-neechan!" Conan accepted the box with a grin on his face, "Not that I'm not happy, but what's the occasion?".
"Oh, you will know by the end of your adventure." Azusa replied with a mischievous grin, "Your Nii-chan threaten that he would paint the whole Cafe neon pink if I tell you, so I can't even if I want to".
"Too bad." Conan pouted for a bit, before grinning again, "Well, I just have to solve all of the riddles then".
"That's the spirit. Now, go on and have your fun!" The Waitress said while waving at him, before leaving him alone to return to her job.
Smiling, Conan flipped the white card over to read the next riddle.
R SZKKROB HZD BLF LUU Z WVXZWV ZTL, ZMW MLD R IVTIVGUFOOB HZD BLF YZXP ORPV Z XZTVW YRIW.
Hmm… Caesar or Atbash? Conan wondered as he sat on one of the table, pulling out his notebook again to try and decipher it.
He knew that R was I in Atbash Cipher though - Kudou Shinichi's Codename in Atbash Cipher was WZRGVMTF for Daitengu after all, so maybe he would try to decipher it using Atbash first. Besides, Atbash Cipher was rather simple, A was Z, B was Y, C was X, and so on, until finally Z was A. Translating these sentence would take awhile though.
When he finished translating it, he smirked in triumph. How he loved his intuition sometime, for he was correct in deciphering it using Atbash first instead of Caesar.
'I happily saw you off a decade ago, and now I regretfully saw you back like a caged bird.' was what he got after translating them.
A decade, 10 years… He left a place behind 10 years ago, but now he had returned to that place. Not willingly or happily, he guessed, since it said regretfully in the riddle. Like a caged bird, another point to the answer being a place that he didn't return willingly or happily.
Both now and 10 years ago he had been living in Beika though, so it wasn't talking about Beika itself considering he was happy being in Beika. The place that he didn't happy to return to … Well, the answer would be Teitan Elementary School, as far as he could think of a place like that.
Conan was actually the shrunken form of Kudou Shinichi, and being a 16 years old teenager, there was no way he was happy being back to going to an elementary school.
Well, that's decided, he sped away on his skateboard.
Next stop, Teitan Elementary School.
XXXXX
It being Saturday, the School was empty, so how was he supposed to find the next riddle? Unlike at the Agency or the Poirot, there wasn't anyone in school at weekend.
Shinichi - he decided to drop his Conan mask because he was alone - checked the riddle again to see if he missed anything, but he couldn't found anything. Sighing, he decided on what to do. There was no way he would check the whole school, it was tiring that time consuming, so there had to be a place that was safe for Kaito to leave a message or riddle for him.
Wait, message?
Shinichi blinked, before chuckling to himself in amusement. High School girls often left a Love Letter in their crush's shoe lockers, and a few Grade School girls - who mature enough to understand what a crush was - would often do the same. The thought that Kaito would act like a High School girl with a crush was quite amusing, but he decided that there was nothing wrong in checking out - he needed to start searching from somewhere anyway.
He had to pick the lock in order to get to the shoe locker, and he felt a bit bad about it, but he couldn't help it. Besides, it wasn't like he picked the lock because he wanted to steal anyway.
Still, he was glad that he was proven right and Kaito's next riddle really was in his shoe locker, it made him feeling better about picking the school's lock. Well, there was not time to waste, so he took the white card - still with a Red Clover at the back, was that the theme for that day? - and flip it over to read what was written on it.
NY YTTP DTZ YJS DJFWX YT FWWNAJ MJWJ, BMNQJ BJFWNSL BMNYJ, LWJJS, FSI SFAD GQZJ HQTYMJX.
More Atbash Cipher? Shinichi blinked, before deciding that no, it wasn't Atbash Cipher. If he deciphered it using Atbash Cipher, then the NY in the beginning would become MB, which didn't make sense. So no, it wasn't Atbash. It was probably Caesar, and figuring how many number Kaito decided to shift the Alphabets would take awhile, but could still be done easily - he just needed his notebook and a pen again.
Pulling out the aforementioned items, Shinichi tried to decipher it with shifting by 1 number rule, before moving of to shifting by 2 number if he still got it wrong, and so on.
By shifting 1 number, then B would take the first letter's place in the Alphabets instead of A, and A would take the last place instead of Z. So deciphering NY using Caesar 1 would become … MX. No, it was wrong, so he tried Caesar 2 then … LW, still wrong. Caesar 3 … KV, still wrong. Caesar 4 got him JU, which he felt still wrong, so he tried Caesar 5 after that.
IT.
Caesar 5 got him IT from NY, so he decipher the rest using Caesar 5 since he figured that Caesar 5 was the correct one.
IT TOOK YOU TEN YEARS TO ARRIVE HERE, WHILE WEARING WHITE, GREEN, AND NAVY BLUE CLOTHES.
10 years from Elementary School would be High School, considering that he was in a 6 years old body at the moment, and he would become 16 years old in 10 years. If it was talking about High School, then the clothes would be the Uniform, and the colors mentioned would be the Uniform's colors. Not coincidentally, Teitan High School's Uniform had all of them - white being the shirt inside, green as the tie, and navy blue for both the blazer and pants or skirts.
Okay, so his next stop was Teitan High School apparently.
Of course, he didn't forgot to re-lock the school gates before he went on his way.
XXXXX
Just like with Teitan Elementary School, the Teitan High School was empty that day. But unlike with Teitan Elementary School, the next riddle wasn't in Kudou Shinichi's shoe locker - which was to be expected, since it was Kaito who hide the riddles, and he wouldn't hide two riddles in the same or similar place.
So if it wasn't the shoe locker, where else would someone left a message for someone else? The locker in the changing room would be a big no, since that would make the sender become a pervert. That left one other place, which would be the desk's drawer - because the only other option would be to give the Love Letter in person, which wouldn't happen in his case considering Kaito wasn't there.
Kudou Shinichi's desk's drawer it is.
…

Well, wasn't Kaito just something - or rather someone - else? From the looked of his newest riddle, Kaito decided to write the entire not using the visual form of the Morse Code - as opposed to the normal communication using Morse Code, which was done by tapping or scratching to make the sound.
If he was someone who didn't know Morse Code, then he would get stuck in this particular riddle - but since he did know Morse Code, he just needed to create the sound of the Morse Code to understand what was the message that Kaito left him with this riddle.
I am a blue bird who saw people enjoying food and playing pool every day in my nest.
Was it just him or Kaito was going easy on him again? A place where people could enjoy food and played a game of pool at the same time would be at a bar, and which bar he knew that had the name synonymous to a blue bird? The answer was the Blue Parrot, and it was the bar that Konosuke Jii - Kid's assistant - owned.
Well, maybe the adventure is coming to an end. Shinichi mused as he used his skateboard to get him to the train station, because going from Beika to Ekoda using his skateboard would take a long time, so it was better and faster if he used the train.
XXXXX
"Jii-chan?" Conan - Shinichi didn't know if there was someone else there, so he had to hide again - asked as he entered the Blue Parrot, "Are you here?".
"Welcome, Shin-bocchama." The Assistant of Kid greeted him as he cleaned the used dishes of the day, telling him that it was safe to drop the mask, "For the final riddle, Kaito-bocchama told me that you have to do something first before I can give it to you".
"And what do I have to do?" Shinichi asked curiously.
In answer, Jii gave him a brochure of a Cake Shop. "You need to go to this place, then buy a box of Chocolate that you think would be the one Kaito-bocchama like the most." Jii told him with an amused smile.
Again with Chocolate? Shinichi couldn't help but wonder, then decided to not to mind it anymore. Both Ran and Kaito loved Chocolate, after all, so it would be normal if they took advantage of him wanting to have the riddles by asking him to buy Chocolates for them.
A quick travel to the Cake Shop later, Shinichi finally realized just what brought Kaito to arrange this particular adventure for him. It was Valentine's Day, and he realized it when he saw the many Heart decorations in either Pink or Red color hanging all around the Cake Shop. So, knowing that it was Valentine's Day, Shinichi knew just what kind of Chocolates to buy for Kaito.
He returned to the Blue Parrot after he bought the Chocolate, then Jii gave him the final riddle of the day.
Good Job, My Dear~
I figured that you know what all of these are for, so here is the last riddle.
.emoh emoc esaelp ,thginK kcalB ym hO
.eno etisoppo eht yb dellac neeb evah I tub ,roloc eno sah ohw tsen a m'I
I'll be waiting for you ~ 3
K.K.
Well, Kaito was clearly using Rearrange Sentences this time. So Shinichi rearrange the sentences back into the correct order in his mind.
I'm a nest who has one color, but I have been called by the opposite one.
Oh my Black Knight, please come home.
The last riddle wasn't really a riddle in Shinichi's mind, but it maybe was for the other people who saw it.
A nest was a place, and considering the last sentence, then it was a home. The Black Knight was another title that Naito Shin had gained sometime in the past decade that he showed up to help the Polices, and since Naito Shin was him, the Black Knight was also him as well.
Which one of his home - the Kudou Manor and the Kuroba Manor - that was the correct answer to the riddle? The answer would be the White Manor, otherwise known as the Kuroba Manor. Kuroba had the meaning of Black Feather, but they called the Kuroba Manor as the White Manor because its color was white - while the Kudou Manor was black in color. So the Kuroba Manor has Black in its name, but being called the White Manor - which was the opposite of Black, and thus he had his answer.
Shinichi smiled because he could meet up with Kaito now, and since it was already Noon, he could have Lunch together with his Husband. Without wasting anymore time, he sped away with his skateboard.
It didn't take him long to arrive at the White Manor, and he immediately unlocked the door with his key and walked in silently, before exchanging his shoes with a pair of slippers. He listened carefully to see if he could pinpoint Kaito's location, but before he could, someone covered his eyes.
"Guess who?" A voice asked playfully, but it was clearly Kaito because he used his Kid's Voice.
"Oh, I don't know~" Shinichi sing song playfully, "Is it my Beloved Husband or my Beloved Thief?".
"How about both?" Kaito offered as he removed his hands from Shinichi's eyes, only to wrap his arms around Shinichi's small form.
"Both it is then." Shinichi said in agreement as he leaned back onto Kaito's strong chest, enjoying their moment with a content smile on his face.
After a moment, Kaito pulled back and turned Shinichi around to face him. He held out his hands in an offering gesture, they were empty at first, but - as usual - a plate with a Heart shaped Chocolate appeared on his hands with a puff of smoke. The Chocolate had a white colored Spade on the center of the Heart.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Shin-kun." Kaito said with a warm smile on his face.
"Thank you, Kai." Shinichi answered as he accepted the offered Chocolate, before placing the plate on top of the shoe rack for now. He then also offered his hands to Kaito, and a white paper box that was tied with a red ribbon appeared in his hands with a puff of smoke as well. "Happy Valentine's Day, Kai".
"Thank you, Shin-kun~" Kaito accepted the box with a huge grin on his face, before pulling off the ribbon so he could see what kind of Chocolate he got. He gasped in surprise at what he saw, for inside was not one, but there were four Heart shaped Chocolate - with each Heart having a Pink Chocolate on it, and Shinichi had arranged them to create an image of a Clover.
"I got the inspiration from the printing at the back of your riddle's cards." Shinichi admitted as he picked his Chocolate back up, "It said that the Pink Chocolate has a Strawberry taste. I hope you like them".
"Oh, Shin-kun~" Kaito pretended to be moved to tears - or he really was? - but still grinning widely in happiness as he hugged the box closely, "I love them!".
"I'm glad, but no eating them yet." Shinichi told Kaito sternly, "We will have Lunch first".
"Mou! Shinichi!" Kaito pouted at him in response, "You're ruining our romantic moment!".
Shinichi just laughed as he lightly pulled Kaito by one of his hands, and together, they walked and chatted to the Dining Room.

I know that it's not Valentine's Day today, but oh well.
I hope you like it, and Thank You for reading! I'm looking forward for your review ^ ^
