"Nee-san?" Kaito sees a blonde woman passed out on the couch, completely smashed. Sighing, Kaito puts a blanket on her and prepares ibuprofen and water for the coming hangover.

Kaito already knows her as Chris Vineyard, Vermouth, and Sharon Vineyard, his father's former student.

He doesn't kick her out because he's a gentleman. Plus, his mother would have words if she knew he'd left a drunk woman alone on the streets.

This has happened a few times before, so he's sort of used to it.

*Ding Dong!*

"Hm?" Kaito blinks as he approaches the door, 'I'm not expecting company or a delivery, so who…?'

He peeks through the peephole, and sees something or someone he wasn't prepared for. Bourbon.

He's startled for a moment before taking a deep breath. He opens the door.

Bourbon blinks, not expecting a teenager to open the door, "Um… is Chris here? She called me and hung up all of a sudden, so I wanted to check on her."

"She's already passed out on the couch. Um… come in?" Kaito offers.

Bourbon comes inside, and sees Chris on the couch, fast asleep.

"Thanks for taking care of her," he smiles and bows.

"It's no problem," Kaito smiles.

Well now… Two criminals are in his house…well, one passed-out-drunk criminal, and one curious undercover PSB agent, but still.

"Tea?" Kaito nervously asks.

"Sure, uh…"

"Kaito. Kuroba Kaito."

"I'm Amuro Tooru. It's nice to meet you, Kaito-kun. Even under these circumstances."

"Yeah," he sheepishly laughs, "It's nice to meet you too."


While Kaito goes to the kitchen, Amuro looks around, and it seems like an ordinary house.

Then he absentmindedly tilted a picture frame, which triggered a trap, causing him to be covered in glitter.

As soon as Kaito saw what happened, he burst out laughing, "Sorry! I should've warned you about my security system!"

"You booby-trapped your house?" Amuro blinks, wryly smiling.

"Yeah!" Kaito nods, trying to stop himself from giggling.

After pointing him in the direction of the bathroom to try and get all the glitter off, Kaito sets the tea on the kitchen table.


When Amuro gets back, there's still a bit of glitter left in his hair. He sits down at the table, and drinks a cup of tea.

"I'm curious."

"Mm?" Kaito tilts his head to the side, tea cup in hand.

"Just what is your relationship with Chris?"

"She's…my sister, sort of. Chris was a student of my father's, so we're practically family," Kaito sighs, "Besides… This isn't the first time she's crashed at my house. She usually does this when she's completely smashed."

"...seriously?" Amuro blinks.

"Seriously," Kaito wryly smiles.

"...I'm sorry you have to deal with that by yourself," Amuro sighs.

"It's fine… I'm used to it," Kaito shrugs.

"Do you live alone in this house?" Amuro curiously asks.

"Yeah… But like I said, I'm used to it."

Kaito's nonchalant reply only made Amuro anxious. A child shouldn't be left alone like this… but then again, considering his own circumstances, it would be hypocritical to say anything, so he stays silent, and changes the subject.

"Wanna see a magic trick?" Amuro asks as they finish their tea.

Kaito raises an eyebrow at him, "...alright."

Amuro shows him a basic magic trick.

"Hm~~... Impressive!" Kaito comments, "For a beginner."

Amuro has no response to that, his brow twitching.

"Let me show you some real magic," Kaito smirks. His hands are swift as he performs the same trick Amuro showed him only…significantly better.

Amuro's both impressed and a bit overwhelmed, "...you're a magician."

"Yup!" Kaito grins.

He just then realizes that he's in a magician's house. Sighing heavily, Amuro wryly smiles, "Well…can you teach me some magic then, Kaito-kun?"

Kaito giggles, "I thought you'd never ask!"


They spent a few hours that night with Kaito teaching Amuro magic until it was time for him to leave. Kaito insisted on exchanging numbers, and Amuro happily agreed.

After Kaito sees him off, Amuro gets a sudden text.

[*black clover emoji*: About my family… Who do you think taught Chris her disguise technique?]

His eyes widened. Turning around, he looked back at that house before huffing and going back to work.

Eyes narrowed, Furuya's determined to find out everything he can on Kuroba Kaito and his family. He grins like a predator on the hunt just thinking about it. Kaito-kun picked a fight with him, after all. He can't disappoint his magic teacher.

Chris, of course, slept through the whole thing, being none the wiser.
