As KID was flying home, he spotted a familiar face injured and knocked out cold.
'Bourbon?' KID lands next to his unconscious body, and checks his pulse, 'Still alive… but now what do I do?'
Thinking about it for a moment, he heavily sighs, "I'm such a heartful fool, aren't I?"
He carries Bourbon's unconscious body back to his house. 'So heavy…' Kaito groans, 'But I can't just leave him here.'
Furuya wakes up on the couch in an unfamiliar house, "Uh?" Groaning, he sits up.
"You're awake?"
He sees a teenager that looks just like Kudo, but… isn't. More like, he looks similar to Matsuda.
"Um…" he blinks at him, at a loss for words.
The boy hands him a cup of tea.
"Thank you," Furuya nods as he takes the cup and drinks the tea.
Furuya gets his phone and calls.
"Kazami?"
"Furuya-san?! Are you OK?!" Kazami asks worriedly.
"I'm fine. I'll get back to work soon so-"
Another voice chimes in, "I'm sorry but… You still need some rest, so please stay put."
"Eh?" Furuya says before he's sprayed in the face with gas, his eyes wide in surprise. Then, as the gas took effect, he fell asleep, dropping his phone onto the carpet.
"Furuya-san?"
Smiling, Kaito picks up the phone and answers, perfectly imitating Furuya's voice, "Kazami…it seems I won't be able to go to work for a while. I'll see what I can do so I can get back sooner but…"
"I understand. Get a good rest, Furuya-san."
"Thanks, Kazami," before hanging up.
Kaito's curious about him…so he hacks his phone, and checks his pockets.
'Let's see~... Wallet, Poirot Cafe business card…a gun and handcuffs because of course, and…a police notebook?' Kaito blinks as he checks it.
'Amuro Tooru and… Public Security?' He's surprised, 'Furuya Rei, huh… so that's his real name.'
When Furuya woke up, he's groggy for a minute. Then he remembered what happened.
'That boy isn't ordinary,' he frowns, 'But at least… It seems he doesn't want to harm me.' He didn't sense any hostility…just mischief, which makes him have more questions than answers.
"Coo!" A dove appears.
"Uh…hi," Furuya smiles as the dove snuggles him. Then when he got up, another dove flew over and chose to nest in his hair.
Sighing, he just walks to the kitchen, a dove still on his head, to get some coffee.
He enters the kitchen, and sees his host making breakfast.
Furuya got himself some coffee before asking, "Why?"
Why did you pick me up? And knock me out?
The boy just sadly smiles, "...I feel like I can't leave you alone. If I do, you'll just disappear. That's all."
He blinks in confusion, "...that's all?"
"Un."
A moment of silence as they sip their coffee before Furuya heavily sighs.
"I'm Amuro Tooru. Can I at least know the name of my host?" Amuro politely asks.
"I'm Kuroba Kaito, Amuro-san," Kaito smiles as he gently picks the dove off his head, "C'mon, Berry. Let's go."
"Coo!" Berry coos in protest before Kaito just puts her in his jacket pocket. Then, she immediately settled down.
'Ah. Dove pockets,' Amuro guessed, "Are you a magician, Kaito-kun?"
"Yeah!" Kaito smiles.
"...you mind if I ask you to teach me some magic tricks?" Amuro nervously asks.
"Of course I don't mind!" Kaito yells excitedly.
Amuro smiles, "OK then, Kaito-sensei."
For the next three days, Amuro stayed in the Kuroba household as a guest until it was time for him to leave.
He had learned quite a few magic tricks from Kaito-sensei, who in turn had his worries settled…for now.
They even exchanged numbers in case Amuro needed more advice on magic, which Amuro reluctantly agreed to.
The doves also like Amuro enough to nest in his hair and preen it. Kaito said they were mother-doving him, which they only did to Kaito himself. Amuro considered that a good thing.
After Amuro leaves the Kuroba household, he checks his phone. To his surprise, some new information related to his Public Security work was added to it.
'What the-?' Furuya furrows his brow as a text appears on his screen.
[1412 *black clover emoji*: Amuro-san, don't let the Bourbon fall to 0.]
His eyes widened. Kaito-kun knows… probably a bit too much. It was only then did he remember. The day he was injured was the same day as KID's latest heist.
Narrowing his eyes at the obvious challenge, he texts back: [0: Of course not. I'll never let that happen, KID.]
With renewed fire, Furuya races to the NPA so he can look up Kuroba Kaito, and even the playing field.
Later… It's unknown who won, but they did become something like collaborators.
