Warning: AU, silliness
Shinichi celebrated his birthday last week.
Ran's gifts come to his apartment today, it was sent by a guy from some computer company. The gifts are giant box with big, bold KAITO KUROBA written in the front, and a middle-sized suitcase.
Shinichi is kneeling beside the box and knocking lightly. It sounds roomy inside, what could possibly Ran put inside a big, weird box? Could it be books? Or a human sized teddy bear plushie?
"Kaito Kuroba?"
Then he hears a giggle from the box, a freaking giggle.
"Hello?"
"Hello to you too, tantei-kun~"
What? The box actually answers him? Did Ran kidnap a man and sent it to him?
"Whoever you are, I'm going to get you out of the box and then you can tell me what's happening here."
Shinichi fumbles with the box lock. When the lock opens he never expected whoever it was inside the box will jump and glomp him. Whoever it was now is squeezing the breath out of him.
Apparently, his best friend thought it was appropriate to sent him a personal computer, an excited human shaped unit for his birthday.
-KSKSKS-
Hello Shinichi,
Happy birthday to you \ ( ^ ^ ) /
I wish you a happy life ahead, and you will archive all your dreams in the future.
About the gift, you have heard about personal computer right? A human shaped unit. I know that the official release is next week but my friend is working at the company who produce it. She offered a unit for me way long before the release date.
I thought I would have no use for a unit so why don't I give it to a single bachelor like you? I heard this KAITO KUROBA unit can do almost everything, and you can always read the manual for anything else.
Love, Ran
-Technical Specifications -
"So, your name is Kaito Kuroba?"
Shinichi is sitting on the floor. A unit that glomped him a few minutes ago, clad in blue schoolboy uniform, is sitting Indian style in front of him.
"Yes Master."
"And you are a personal computer?"
The unit, Kaito, is watching him with owlish eyes.
"A personal computer, a unit, I am whatever you want me to be Master."
Kaito make his way to the suitcase that came with his box, he pulls out a Conan Edogawa plushie and hug it close.
"If I ask you to do something, would you do it?"
"I'll do anything for you Master, you have my absolute obedience."
Kaito sits again in front of Shinichi, absent-mindedly playing with the plushie as he watches his master, completely interested.
"Then stop calling me 'master', my name is Shinichi."
"Okay, Shin-chan."
Shinichi face palmed.
-Programming-
Shinichi is watching a movie on TV while Kaito is preparing their lunch. He remembers about his unit's manual and start rummaging the stack of books on the table near the couch to find it. He starts flipping through the pages.
"The manual said that you are a magician."
"I am programmed to be one, why?"
"Nothing," Shinichi continues to read the manual, is his unit actually programmed to be a butler? "You just look nothing like a magician."
"Really?" Kaito puts the finished dinner on the table, "What do you want for dessert Shin-chan?"
"You look like a prankster to me," Shinichi said, "And I have a blueberry ice cream in the fridge for dessert."
Kaito makes a beeline to his master and bend to Shinichi's eye level, "But I am one talented magician Shin-chan," He conjures a red rose out of thin air, "Believe in me now?"
-Reprogramming -
"Shin-chan, let's play!"
Shinichi is leaning on the sofa, typing something away with the laptop in front of him.
"No can do, I have a work to do."
The unit who crouches beside him is pouting now, and he starts poking his owner arm in annoying manner.
"But I'm bored, you've been out all day and leaving me all alone~"
Shinichi frowns slightly. His unit is right; he's out all day to solve a murder case. Honestly, he loves his job as a primary detective in Tokyo police force. But he hates, really hates the paperwork that comes with it.
Kaito changes his tactic; he leans on Shinichi's shoulder and start running his fingertips down his owner wrist.
Shinichi swats his hand away.
"Shinichi~"
The units falls to his owner lap, pillowing his head on Shinichi's thigh. Kaito drops his eyelids and start tracing his owner jaw with his finger, barely touching but the other can definitely feels it.
"I really want to play~"
Shinichi is trying so hard not to look into those puppy dog eyes; he won't fall to that trick again. If he doesn't finish the paperwork by tomorrow morning, Inspector Megure will have his head.
"Fine, we'll play."
They end up playing monopoly for the next three hours.
-KSKSKS-
"I'm home."
Shinichi is having a bubble bath when Kaito comes home from his part time job as a waiter in a butler café, so he screams from the bathroom.
"Welcome home!"
He hears footsteps coming; there is a knock on the door.
"I'm going to make dinner, want something?"
"Not really, just cook whatever you like."
After he's done with the bubble bath and put on some blue hoodie, Shinichi strolls to his unit only to hear Fall for You playing slowly from the kitchen area.
Kaito sits, leaning on his elbow and facing Shinichi. There are two servings of pasta and a bottle of wine on the table. The dimmed light on the kitchen making Kaito looks irresistible.
"Hey."
Shinichi hesitantly take a seat, it's unusual for his unit to play a romantic song during their dinner. Scratch that, it never happened before.
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
The song really doesn't help the awkward situation. Kaito keep giving him the looks through the meal time, as if he is going to kiss Shinichi any moment. They finish the dinner in silence.
"How was your day?" Kaito asks him, voice slightly huskier than usual.
The detective answer the question, still not sure what is happening to his unit. Did something happen to him? Did he eat something weird at work?
"You look good in blue."
Whoa, Shinichi is really confused now. First was a freaking romantic song and now his unit is actually complimenting him? He is going to sleep early and hope that whatever it is happened to his unit will be gone by tomorrow.
Shinichi bids good night to the other and heading toward the bedroom. Kaito suddenly out from his seat pinning him to the nearest wall, closing any distance between them.
"Why do you want to go so early?" Kaito leaning forward, "We haven't enjoy the dessert yet~"
-Relationship -
Shinichi comes home with a friend today. Her name is Aoko Nakamori, she is his co-worker in Tokyo police force.
"Please take a seat; I am going to get the paperwork you want from my room."
He is already on his way upstairs when his unit pops out to the living room, curiously peeking at the new guest. Shinichi mouthed 'she's my friend, be nice' at the other.
"Aoko, that guy is my unit. Don't worry about him, he is friendly."
Shinichi would never know why or even how it happened.
When he comes back to the living room, Kaito is standing on the couch and sticking his tongue out at Shinichi's friend. Aoko, hair dyed in electric blue, frowns and holding a broom, nobody knows from where she got it, and pointing it threateningly at his unit. They look like a cute but very weird couple from a comic book.
-Troubleshooting-
6.00 AM
"Shin-chan~"
The detective wakes up to a giggling unit by his side. He crosses his eyes in distaste when said unit is tying the curtain, making sunrays flooded his bedroom.
"Wakey wakey sunshine~
What the heck? Usually Kaito wakes up way later than him, yet now his unit just barges to his room and wake him. Kaito is now trying to pull his blanket away.
"Come on, you promised to take me to do grocery shopping today~"
Looks like Kaito is in his Sugarhigh mode. A playful unit is hard enough to handle but a playful, giggly, and has too much energy unit? Shinichi feels like going back to bed and sleeps till the end of the day.
11.00 AM
They are walking side by side through the market aisles. Kaito keeps giggling and commenting silly at every single thing they passed.
"Shin-chan, looks! Chocolate cereal! Can we buy it?"
The unit is clutching his arm, giggling occasionally.
"Shin-chan, fish!"
Kaito ducks behind Shinichi's back and muttering quietly until they passed the fresh meat aisle.
"Shin-chan, whip cream!"
That reminds Shinichi; they had a strawberry cake for dessert last night. Kaito ate the rest of the cake after he took a slice. Maybe that's the thing one triggers his unit's Sugarhigh mode.
"Shin-chan, shiny red apples!"
Shinichi sighed, mentally preparing himself for a hyper unit until who knows when.
4.00 PM
Kaito is following his owner all day. Ecstatically trailing behind him like a puppy.
After they come home with bunch of things from shopping Shinichi tries making his unit take a bath to no avail. Kaito refuses, absolutely refuses, to do it by himself. Shinichi ends up helping his giggly unit take a bubble bath.
"Your hands feel nice Shin-chan!"
"Yeah? You're lucky then I am willing to wash your hair."
The unit in the bathtub humming in agreement, eyes closed in pure happiness as his owner running his hands through his soapy messy locks
"Hey, Shin-chan."
"Yes?"
"Make me a cake?"
"No."
Kaito turns around to face his owner, splashing water everywhere. The move forcing Shinichi to withdraw his hands away, "Why?"
"Cause you are stuck in Sugarhigh mode," Shinichi wrinkles his eyebrows, "I think cake will only make it worse."
"But Shin-chan!"
"The answer is still no."
"You can't keep cake away from me," Kaito gesturing wildly, "Sugar deprived me will behave very, very bad."
"As if Sugarhigh you aren't behaving badly enough already."
Kaito drops his hands exaggeratingly in defeat, splashing more water to his owner. He pouts and stares unhappily at his owner. Then the unit realizes that he is staring at very mad, drenched owner. Shinichi has his white t-shirt clings uncomfortably and water dripping from his hair.
"You know Shin-chan," Kaito smirks, "You look damn hot like that, all fuming and wet~"
Shinichi flushed, "That's it; I am taking you to Hakuba."
