Prompt 5: The Lie
This idea started like the previous prompt with a specific scene, which I wrote down in bold. What happens after that scene is up to the author, as long as it's KaiShin or ShinKai with a happy ending.
After the takedown of the Black Organization, Conan takes the final antidote and turns back into Shinichi. On the first KID heist he attends, he tells the thief about him having been Conan, so that their rivalry can continue where they 'left off' and a new relationship doesn't have to be built.
A few heists later Shinichi sees a red dot on KID's clothes and pushes him off the roof and takes the bullet instead. He gets found by the taskforce collapsed on the rooftop while his back turns steadily redder from the blood (he's lying on his stomach and got shot from the back, where is up to the author). Later in the hospital this scene happens:
When Shinichi came to, he heard a quiet and familiar beeping and remembered what happened. I'm in the hospital? So I survived then…
He slowly opened his eyes and groaned at the blinding whiteness. At the same time he noticed footsteps pacing back and forth next to his bed. The detective glanced over and saw a displeased KID in his suit glaring at him, but his eyes showed worry.
"Why did you push me away?! You could have died!" the thief said and finally stopped pacing.
"But I didn't, right? So everything's fine, it doesn't matter."
"It does! I'm grateful for you saving me, but I don't want anyone to get hurt and you're included in that rule." KID replied a little calmer.
"Well, it happened and can't be changed now." You're more important than me… you make so many people smile. The detective turned his head away and put an arm over his eyes to hide his expression.
"Yes, but… I don't ever want to see you get hurt again." He answered chagrined.
"Why do you care so much?" Just leave me alone already.
"You're my favorite critic, of course I care."
"Your 'favorite critic' is Conan…"
"Well yes, but you are Conan." KID wondered confused. What is this guy talking about?
"… I'm not. I lied so that I could attend the heists and you would take me seriously from the beginning. I'm not Conan."
"You're lying…!" The moonlight thief said, shocked and disbelieving.
"It's not a lie. Conan died in the crossfire of the takedown."
KID didn't say anything. The detective waited for a reply, but the only thing he heard after a while was a quiet swish and when he pulled his arm back to look at the room, he was alone. KID was gone.
The scene can be slightly different (rewritten), but Shinichi has to tell that lie (that he's not Conan. What he says happened to Conan can the author decide) and KID has to disappear without an answer afterwards. Why Shinichi said that can be decided by the author. I just would like to see some sadness or/and an angry KID. When I thought of the scene I had a depressed Shinichi in mind, just to state my mindset when I wrote it (like he just doesn't feel like he belongs anywhere after being Conan and doesn't mind getting shot, because no one would care).
The story doesn't have to start at the heist, this can also happen in later chapters. If they have a fight or whatever is up to the author, as long as they make up in the end. And get together… but how that happens is completely open.
