Chapter 6: Where do you want to go?

After Conan had woken up suitably enough and had managed to finish his breakfast, he decided that it was time to ask KID about his plans. Bringing his used dishes to the sink and starting to wash them, he was unsurprised to find KID stand next to him, ready to the dry the dishes.

"Well? What's your plan for the day?"

"Hmm." KID, ah no he was Kaitou for now, replied. "Well, as I told your Ran-neechan earlier, I just want you to show me around Beika for now. I did plan on going to other places like Osaka for a change of scenery if you'd like though."

Conan snorted, passing the finished dishes to Kaitou. "Osaka? No way. Hattori's going to be there, and I'd rather finish at least one day without solving a murder case."

Kaitou grimaced, remembering how Conan's bad luck somehow managed to triple when around Hattori. Though Hattori was not included in the final takedown of the Organization, he was kept well informed by Conan, and visited as much as he can. The last few weeks that the Osakan visited them before he was banned from doing so in order to keep the Organization's suspicions off of him, Conan refused to step a foot outside the Kudo house with Hattori.

It was fully backed up by Division 1, with Sato asking Conan and Hattori to visit at least someplace other than Beika. They had, somehow, managed to stumble on five murder cases and one attempted kidnapping. All on the same day.

"Well, would you be fine in just showing me around Beika then?" Kaitou asked as he was handed the last dish to be dried.

Conan glanced at him, smirking. "And give you a visual blueprint to Beika for your next heist? I don't think so." Kaitou grinned back, an all-out KID smile that left no doubt in Conan's mind that should he have agreed, the police would be losing sight of KID immediately if he decided to use the streets as his form of escape.

"Where do you want to go then?" Kaitou asked, and hurriedly continued, "You can't just say that you want to rest at home either."

Conan rolled his eyes, "If we want this day to go smoothly, we shouldn't even go out at all. My curse is going to strike sooner or later anyway."

Kaitou rolled his eyes back. "Not with me you don't. Lady Luck loves me enough to spare some for you if you're near me. I'm her favorite human after all!"

Conan crossed his arms, one eyebrow raised teasingly. "So if I want to live a case-free life I should just stay next to you forever then? Should I marry you at some point?"

Kaitou had never been more thankful for his Poker Face that day, as his mind happily supplied images of Conan looking the same way he did earlier. Just in bed. And much older, his conscience slapped back. He managed to simply smile, hoped drool didn't slip out, and said, "Same-sex marriage isn't legal in Japan yet."

That startled a laugh out of Conan, and Kaitou's breath caught at the way he tossed his head back and exposed his elegant neck. Conan pushed up his glasses then, hand dubbing at the small tears at the corner of his eyes, exposing to Kaitou an unobscured view of lit up sapphire jewels. "Should we go out of country then?"

Kaitou kneeled dramatically on the floor, one hand on his chest over his heart, and the other raised towards Conan. "I'll go anywhere you want to go, and I'll be happy, my darling tantei-kun"

Conan stared down at him with some exasperation mixed with the mirth in his eyes. He looked to be debating whether or not to kick him, but Kaitou noted with no small amount of delight that pink had suffused his cheeks.

He grinned wildly, and used both hands to gather Conan's hands in his own, planning on making his detective imitate a tomato before they leave. "I'll brave the fires of hell for you my love! But take heed, we no longer need to aim for the heavens, for I had found one of their angels with you by my side."

By the end of his mini-speech, Conan had turned so red that a tomato would have been jealous. His sharp eyes caught the tantalizing sight of the redness going down his shirt, and he had half a mind to wonder how low it could get, before his hands were squeezed in warning by the detective.

Immediately releasing his grip in fear of any retaliatory kicks, Kaitou stood up and backed away slightly from the still-red detective. "Now now, tantei-kun. It was within my rights to do that! You kept putting down my suggestions!"

Inwardly, Kaitou eeped when he found that his hands were still in the clutches of the detective, who he was pretty sure was going from red-with-embarrassment to red-with-anger at this point. "Magician's hands! Be careful-–"

He was cut off by the sudden mischievous smirk that appeared on Conan's face, and though Kaitou would like to appreciate the sight of a smiling and blushing tantei-kun, he wouldn't do so with his hands on the line. He was just about to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, when Conan pulled the least expected move yet.

He brought forward Kaitou's hands together towards his face, and gently placed a kiss on the knuckles. Raising his head to look at Kaitou, Conan stared at him directly as his glasses slid down his nose, and said, "As long as I'm with you, I'll be happy wherever we go."

Kaitou was sure he could be forgiven for losing his Poker Face and dropping his jaw to gape at Conan in shock. Blood had rushed to his face again, and Kaitou faintly thought that this time he couldn't stop a nosebleed from coming since Conan still had a grip on his hands. Hands that he had kissed. Kissed!

When Conan was satisfied with the amount of redness that covered the magician's face he dropped their hands and proceeded to his bedroom, calling out over his shoulder, "I'll go get ready then, okay?"

Kaitou had been able to bring together scraps of his Poker Face to weakly rebut, "Don't pack too much!" and was answered by a smirk that was usually only seen on KID's face. Once he was sure that the door had closed behind his detective, Kaitou dropped down to the floor, silently whimpering in his head.

'So unfair!'

A/N: Hey guys, sorry for the late chapter. So have some fluff! Also, I'm still split about letting Shin-chan remain as Conan, or get back his life as Kudo. Let me know how you feel about it!
