Shinichi's POV
He set down the receiver for the final and sat down on the couch with a sigh. He briefly wondered if he was crazy.
"They're going to find out sooner or later so I might as well get it over with, besides it will take Hattori at least 2 and a half hours to get here so I have some time." He reasoned.
Faster than he had expected everyone was sitting in his living room, looking at him expectantly. He ran a hand through his hand and went to the front of the group.
"There's something I need to tell you all, it's about Ran and I." He started hesitantly. "We've been lying to you this entire time.
We never actually liked each other as anything more than friends and we were never actually married."
"Whaaaat?" Was chorused around the room, Shinichi covered his ears as people started to yell.
"Will you all shut up so I can explain?" He tried to ask over the noise with very little success. He pulled in a breath and started singing loudly.
The effect was immediate and soon everyone was covering their ears, Shinichi sighed with relief.
"Thank you… now, can I explain please?" He asked once again. They all nodded and he started his story.
Kaito's POV
He stood completely still as he listened to Shinichi's story, his joy growing with each word. Only one thought was running through his head.
'He didn't love Ran. That means I have a chance.'
He was filled with determination as he snuck out of the library and into the quiet hallway. Kaito grinned in a way that would disturb most people and looked for a good hiding place.
He spotted a tall vase over in the corner and peeked inside.
'Empty as Hakuba's head!' He thought cheerfully and jumped inside. 'Now I just need to wait for everyone to leave.'
Shinichi's POV
Hattori paused on the threshold of the door and turned to look at him.
"I hope you know what you're doing Kudo, I really do." The detective said before walking out the door. He walked back towards the library and flopped into a chair with his eyes closed.
A hand grabbed his, startled, he looked up into Kaito's amused face, blushed slightly and looked away.
'Please Kaito; don't do this, not right now.' He thought desperately.
"You don't like anyone right now?" Kaito asked. He mutely shook his head and looked up at his brother. There was hope in the magician's gaze.
Kaito leaned in towards him, stopping just inches from his face.
"Kai… to…?" His brain wasn't processing so close to Kaito and that scared him. He held his breath and prayed that Kaito wouldn't do anything stupid.
Kaito closed the distance between them; he suddenly felt lips on his and tried to pull away half-heartedly.
'Kaito you idiot.' He thought and kissed him back. Kaito pulled away and stared at him shock written across his face. He smiled a little.
'I'm already going to hell for lying so much. Might as well be thorough.' He reasoned and looked back at Kaito.
"It's OK to continue." He told the stunned magician. Kaito re-covered and looked at him uncertainly.
"Are you sure?" Kaito asked. Shinichi wrapped his arms around the magician's neck and kissed him again.
"Is that enough of an answer for you Kai?" He asked. Kaito nodded slowly and smiled.
"I hope you didn't have any plans tonight, because you're not going to them."
AN: OK I know some of you are mad that I killed Ran... this is why I killed her. If I hadn't Shinichi would have felt too guilty to do anything!
I reallly think I put in too much at the end... I should've just ended after 'Kaito you idiot.' but noooo i wanted to make it longer... now look where thats got me!
Anyways I hope you enjoyed the chapter! :)
