Feeling a cold sensation on your head, you were finally starting to regain consciousness. Through the murkiness you heard the voice of a young boy grumbling.

You squint a little as you open your eyes to the boy in the pure white suit. You put your hand to your head, feeling the icy touch of an ice pack.

"Well it's about time you woke up," the boy clad in white laughs. "You're going to make me late!"

"What…" you struggle to sit up, holding the ice pack to your head with one hand. "What happened?"

"You took a nasty fall down a few flights of stairs," he smirked. "But you're all fixed up!"

You glance yourself over, seeing your right leg and left wrist wrapped in gauze, along with band-aids covering every inch of skin you had.

"You… saved me…" you whispered. The criminal had saved the cop.

"Well, I apologize to leave you so quickly, but I must hurry or I'll be late for my heist," he grinned, helping you to your feet.

"I can't let you leave!" you shout, suddenly full of energy again. You squeezed Kaito's hand in yours. You laughed a little inside as you saw a spark of pain flash in his eyes.

"But a Phantom Thief is never late," he says in a teasing manner as he winks at you, bowing his head slightly as he puts his free hand to his heart.

"Well I don't care! I'm a member of the task force, and I am not allowed to let you take that jewel!" you shout, sounding a little angrier than you intended.

"Now now, calm down," he said, smiling awkwardly as he put his free hand up. "No need to get angry."

"Yes there is a need to get angry!" you growl, tightening your grip even more. "I've worked too hard to get here! I'm the youngest, as well as only female on the task force! On top of that, Nakamori doesn't like me! If I let you get away…" you hear your voice crack. In a second, you shut your eyes tight and spin your head to the side so he didn't see your wet eyes. "If I let you get away… I'll lose everything I've worked so hard for…"

You feel an awkward silence as you look to the side, still keeping a tight grip on Kaito's hand.

Out of nowhere, you feel his gloved hand softly grab your chin. He pulls your head softly, forcing you to look at him.

His gaze was somewhat serious, but when he saw your teary eyes, his gaze immediately softened into a much more caring expression.

"(F/n), trust me, you have nothing to worry about."

"Even if you do return the gem, I'll still get in trouble for either letting you get away, or for leaving my post!" you shout, your vision becoming slightly blurred.

"Well, if you let me," he steps a little closer, looking down at you with his intense yet soft blue eyes. "I might be able to get a good word in with Nakamori before I leave."

"That won't help anything!" you feel a hot tear roll down your face. Quickly Kaito took his finger and wiped it away.

"Please don't cry," he smiled sweetly as he tilted his head. "I need you to trust me. I need you to trust that I'll come through for you."

"How can I trust a thief like you?!" you shout as a few more tears roll down your face.

"Because…" he pauses.

Suddenly his hand that you have been grasping for so long spins around, and you find your fingers intertwined. Taking his other arm, he wraps it around your waist, pulling you into a tight hug as he leans down and kisses you.

You panicked for a moment, but returned the kiss.

After what felt like an eternity, yet only felt to last a millisecond, he pulled away. With a serious look, his eyes locked on yours.

"You can trust me because I care about you."

You stood there, still pressed against him, awe struck and unable to say even a single syllable.

"I know I am Kaito Kid, but tonight, you're the true thief."

"Wha…" you try to say, your face hot even though it was freezing in the room you were in.

"You can figure it out," he winked, letting his grip on you go.

You nodded as you gulped a little.

"(F/n), do you trust me?" his eyes locked on yours, a seriousness burning inside his eyes.

You think for a moment as you stand there, and suddenly remember how to speak again.

"Yes."

With a smile, he disappears off into the darkness of the museum, leaving you in the empty room.

You dropped back onto the floor. As you sat there, you realized that something strange was happening to your face.

You couldn't stop smiling.

Yep. Real romance.
