Thank you to those wonderful reviewers, I was needing a little pick me up, and my reviewers are the best thing for it. I appreciated those reviews so much that I decided to be nice and post another chapter! So enjoy!
"Shin-chan!" Kaito exclaimed as he turned his head when he heard the rasping for breath. He immediately jumped up, scooping the burning Shinichi up off the ground, feeling like his own arms were being burnt by the fever raging through Shinichi's small body.
"Sagu-chan! He's burning up, but it's too soon!" Kaito cried, hugging the not-child to his chest. Saguru moved like he'd been struck by lightning, directing them to their bedroom, completely ignoring what had been Shinichi's room for the past few days. They'd been preparing for something like this, and they weren't going to abandon him and leave him to deal with it on his own.
They'd already laid sacrificial sheets that they could throw out later down on their king sized bed. Kaito laid their third down on the bed, brushing his hair away from his sweaty forehead. Saguru bustled around, grabbing all the things that Shinichi had prepared from his room and moving them to theirs. While he grabbed stuff, Kaito had stripped Shinichi just in case his Shifter blood corrected whatever had shrunken him, and so that when his wings burst through his skin, they wouldn't be trapped under his shirt.
Saguru filled a basin with water and dunked a cloth in it, laying the cool cloth onto Shinichi's forehead. It worried him when Shinichi screamed at the contact, his back arching like he'd been struck with a live wire. Kaito, the empathetic person that he was, immediately stripped down to only shorts and climbed onto the bed and hugged Shinichi to him, trying to bring down his fever. Shinichi whimpered at the contact, prompting Saguru to renew the cloth before clambering in beside Kaito, hugging the two brunettes. It was going to be a long forty eight hours.
It was twelve hours in and Kaito was mildly surprised that none of the neighbors had come to check on the screaming, which really said something about how much they invested in sound proofing. Shinichi's voice had grown hoarse by now, his vocal cords tired of screaming, leaving him only pained groans. Kaito couldn't even think of abandoning him to try and hide away from those pained screams, he just hoped they didn't follow him into his dreams and nightmares. Saguru, seemingly picking up on his distress, tightened his hold. At some point in time, Saguru had brought his wings out and had them wrapped around them all. Kaito's own wings had been out the moment he'd heard that first pained scream, a few of his feathers falling out in his distress.
They'd taken to rotating whenever they needed to go to the bathroom or to grab something, but their phones, all of them in the penthouse had been turned off. Kaito nuzzled Shinichi's hair before leaning up to Saguru to give him a peck on the lips, in need for contact of some kind. They'd both been stressed and tense. They hoped and prayed that Shinichi would be fine, that nothing would go wrong. They both wanted, no needed, him to get through this and wake up. They needed him, he was their missing piece to their chaotic puzzle, both of them had already agreed that if Shinichi wasn't against it, they'd all be together, as mates. Both of them had noticed how Shinichi melted into their embrace, sought them out when he was feeling lonely, how he didn't mind being around the two dominants. So, they'd talked about it, and Saguru explaining how it was possible that Shinichi was a rare submissive male, and due to that, it was possible for them all to be mates, to be a trine.
Grabbing the near by water bottle, Kaito took a swig before hovering over Shinichi, gripping his jaw as he fed the detective water. Moving away again, he slowly massaged his throat, making him swallow before breathing again. They'd been repeating the process several times over to prevent him from dehydrating.
When he went to take another mouthful, his attention was immediately snatched up when Shinichi's next groan was deeper, older, like he was seventeen again. Saguru's and Kaito's eyes widened when Shinichi's back arched as he groaned before trying to toss and turn. His limbs were growing, and Kaito swore he could hear the bones groan as they grew to accommodate the older body. They watched in amazement as ten years worth of growing occurred in mere seconds. The shoulders became broader, about the same size as Kaito's, muscles growing to that of a soccer athlete, jaw lengthening and becoming just the slightest bit more angular. His hair grew longer, but surprisingly stopped at what it had been when he'd first been seventeen.
It was only then that the two noticed that his body was completely resetting itself to that of before Shinichi had been Conan, making him shorter then Saguru and Kaito who'd already grown taller over the past year or so. He was gorgeous, his body was the colour of alabaster, lips surprisingly full for a guy, traces of muscle from years of soccer and chasing culprits. Kaito couldn't help but lick his lips at the sight, Saguru noticing his mates desire, gave a wry grin and, for Shinichi's safety more than their own, tugged the blanket up to cover his lower half. Kaito looked at him with a pout on his lips. He let out a breathy chuckle, nuzzling the thief. They still had thirty six hours fifteen minutes and twelve seconds to go. He told Kaito as much only to be lightly wapped on the chest. He grinned down at his boyfriend who smiled at him in return.
"I just hope that the worst is over." Kaito murmured, sobering when he looked down at the still flushed Heisei Holmes. Placing his hand over Shinichi's forehead, Kaito was relieved to find that it wasn't as hot as it had been.
"I know," Saguru murmured, pressing a kiss to Kaito's forehead. Shinichi seemed to murmur unintelligible in his fever induced sleep, making Kaito give wry quirk of lips before pressing a gentle kiss to his lips. Saguru gave an approving smile before doing the same. Shinichi sighed in his sleep, moving so that he was facing Kaito, snuggling closer to the two of them.
"I think that confirms it," Saguru muttered, raising an eyebrow at the sleeping detective. Kaito chuckled, letting his hands wander slightly, brushing down Shinchi's body before Saguru caught his hands, kissing the knuckles while giving him a disapproving look.
"Sleep for while, I'll keep an eye on him." Saguru murmured, his voice making Kaito's toes curl at how husky it was.
"Fine, but promise me you'll wake me up the moment something happens?." Kaito begged, looking up through his lashes.
"Of course." Saguru promised, kissing Kaito's crown as the thief snuggled deeper into the bed and the two warm bodies.
