AN: I know, short chapter. It's the last chapter, though. It got to be whatever size seemed to give it a nice end. I hope the ending did turn out okay, though.

HAPPY READINGS!

Forget it! You're not vanishing again.

The words thundered in his mind so strongly, he didn't notice them pass his lips.

The door slammed behind him, "Kaito Kuroba!"

KID turned, his cape flying in the wind. The white reflected and shone, but Conan was focused on his face. A face he rarely got to see.

"You know?" The magician's cheeks were pink and this time he knew it wasn't from the cold air.

"Yeah."

He tilted his head, hiding his face, "I apologize for the trouble."

"No, it wasn't trouble." What was he saying? He laughed at himself. "That's not true, it's the most troublesome thing I've ever been though."

"I-"

"But I enjoyed it," he laughed again, shocked at himself, "It was worth it. Seeing KID behind the mask.

Kaito was still, but his cape continued to move in the wind behind him.

"I always wanted to solve the mystery, but I liked seeing your face more than knowing your name."

He shook his head, "What are you saying?"

"I don't know," Conan said, feeling his heart stir in his chest, "I think, I'm saying I want to see your face more - that is," his voice faltered, "I, um, really like your face."

Mizu eyes were still frozen on him. It was almost as though KID had ceased functioning.

Conan cleared his throat, "That would be my deduction, anyway."

Kaito laughed lightly, the playfulness that defined him weaved into it. He bent down; thoughtful and hesitant, "You're. . . sure?"

He felt a smile form on his face, "What is left, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.:

"Nerd," Kaito said, joy and relief filling his voice.

"You know," Conan said, pulling a box from his pocket, "There are two things best shared. Love-"

"And chocolate," Kaito finished, "Love chocolate."

They both laughed.

"You should know what you're getting into, though."

"You're a thief, I know."

"Yes, but that wasn't what I was talking about." He pulled out a piece of paper from the air and handed it to Conan.

The bottom was signed as approved by KID with a smiling monocled man doodled by it.

"When did you even make this?"

"Never mind that. I'm giving one to Hakuba at my next heist, so you won't be alone," Kaito yawn and sat down by Conan, "How about some chocolate?"

Anita and Agasa watched from the porch while their detective friend and Kaito KID ate chocolate and threw it at each other.

"This is new," Anita said.

Both Conan and Kaito would have agreed. New seemed like a beautiful thing.

Even when it was your shirt that was new and a Phantom Thief had just stained it with chocolate.

It was love chocolate, after all.
