XCIII: Hattori and Kudou

"So how's all the wedding planning going?" Shinichi asked as both he and Heiji exited police headquarters. "Only two more days left. How's Kazuha handling it all?"

"Oh gods," Heiji groaned, "Don't get me started on it. She's still pretty wound up on the flowers that'll be used as table centerpieces and to decorate the banquet hall, which are going to be different from the flowers we'll have during the ceremony. I mean, they're flowers—why do the colors matter at all?"

Shinichi, having already been through the process with Ran, hummed sagely and said, "All I can say, Hattori, is just—stay out of her way and let her fuss about it. You offer your opinion, and she'll shoot it down ten ways to Sunday. Ran was like that during our wedding planning." He grinned in sympathy. "Just let Kazuha plan it out so that it ends up being the perfect day for her—and you as well. It's the one big day where she'll have the chance to get completely dolled up as well—unless you two somehow start getting invited to ritzy charity balls and the like."

Heiji snorted and sent his friend a flat stare. "Even if I did get those kinds of invites, do you think I would willingly want to go to those, Kudou?"

The brunet pretended to think about it. "You would if they had good conversation," he remarked, smirking. He knew that people were probably one of the reasons Heiji purposely avoided situations like those.

"You're such an ass," Heiji retorted as he shoved Shinichi in the shoulder with his own. He blinked as something light landed on his head, his vision whiting out a moment later. "What the—?" Reaching up, he snatched a small box attached to a small parachute—the part that had blinded him—off his head. Shinichi shrugged, though the smirk and the glint in his eyes suggested that he had a fairly good idea of who the sender was. Heiji cautiously opened the box to find a note and an Amazon gift card.

Wishing you a long and prosperous future
with your beloved.

-Kaitou KID

Heiji sighed, then chuckled. "That idiot…" he muttered fondly.

Author's Note: I've never planned a wedding myself, but having watched my older sister do so was enough to make me want to inch away from it all. And isn't KID sweet? I hope you enjoyed it.
