bubblyangel101: Had this plunnie in the middle of the night. Couldn't resist.

The Muse: Don't forget who gave it to you...you make Kaito seem like such a nice person.

Kaito: I am a nice person!

bubblyangel101: Disclaimer: No ownie. If I did, every couple would already be married by now! Not to mention I would be rich.

The Muse: Kaito, can you go steal Detective Conan and Magic Kaito for us?

oOo

I've always known what people think of me. To the baker I am "the boy who always buys chocolate-sprinkled doughnuts." To the ramen restaurant owner I am "the boy who always orders 2 bowls." To the sushi shop owner I am "the boy who always runs away, screaming, from the fish displays."

There's more, too. To my teachers I am the boy who always gets 100%. To my classmates I am the prankster, the class clown. To the screaming public I am Kaitou Kid. I always know what they're thinking. Except for her.

I can read people like an open book. Their emotions, feelings...all written on their face. But Aoko...she is a different book. One with a lock that I will never learn to pick open.

I don't know what she thinks of me. She could hate me. She could love me. She could even have no feelings at all.

And that's why I'm here, standing in front of the chocolate store. The store owner probably thinks that I'm here to buy another box of truffles. But no, tomorrow's White Day, and I am debating whether or not to get Aoko lovers' chocolate.

It's a big risk. But I'd rather face rejection than keep my feelings inside of me, until it's too late. Until she marries someone else. Until she finds happiness with someone other than me.

I'm not perfect. In fact, I'm not even close to perfect. I am the person that her father hates.

But I'm also the person who will take care of her, no matter what. I am the person who will personally beat up any bully who makes her shed a single tear. I am the person who will quietly stand in the back of the church, to see her get married, if it means that the person she is marrying will make her happier than I can. I am Kuroba Kaito.

And so I, Kuroba Kaito, am standing in front of this shop. And it happens that I decide to go in. I pick up the lovers' chocolate and go to the cashier to pay. The owner smiles. He must be thinking, "Ah, young love these days."

Tomorrow I will give the chocolate to Aoko. If she says no, then I'll wish her luck. If she says yes, then I will be the one screaming in joy inside. For I'll be happy as long as she is.

They say that if you truly love a person, you'll want them to be happy, even if it hurts you deep inside. So God bless you, Aoko. If you are reading this, know that your best friend, Kuroba Kaito, wishes you happiness and riches for the rest of your life, even if it's not spent with him.
