Word Count:2339

Date Published: June 21, 2021

Kaito have thought that he will be able to obtained the jewel before the year ends the moment he inherited the 'family business' and finally avenged his father who was the first magician under the moonlight, Kaitou Kid. But, who would've thought that two years has went by and he's still on the search for the jewel named 'Pandora'? Moreover, his supposed to be relationship with Aoko ended long ago when the guilt he tried so hard to hide in his heart slowly swallowed him whole.

The moment Aoko confessed her feelings for him, Kaito was overyjoyed, happy that finally, the girl he has been secretly loving has love him back however... the feeling of guilt prevented him from accepting her feelings and the possible danger he might put her in, which is why he lied. A lied that made her shed tears and run away, leaving him in tears as well without the girl he had love knowing. But you know what he didn't regret? Kaito didn't regret opening his heart once more, to someone who unexpectedly made their way into his broken heart and healing it.

"Edogawa Conan, Tantei sa. (a detective.)"

A love that secretly planted itself in his heart the moment he met a hinder in his heist, a hinder that soon brought thrill, joy, and a helping hand the longer he encounters the tiny detective... who wasn't just any mere child after discovering the surprising truth.

Kaito was both amused and curious upon discovering the supposed to be 7 years old kid was actually a 17 years old high school detective. Kudo Shinichi, a high school detective of the East attending Teitan High. Without knowing, he started to became attached to the detective, sharing bittersweet memories, life threatening ones, and soon, he finally understood the unknown feeling he has towards the tiny detective.

Standing atop a skyscraper with the stolen jewel in hand, Kid looked down and sees the detective in his skateboard, hurrying to go back home with the gift in hand. Kid smiled upon seeing this as he looked up at the bright full moon. To think he, a phantom thief, will do such a dangerous thing and risked his life in order to obtained a drug that will helped a detective. Has the world gone mad? No, only his love towards his Metantei has caused him to do such a thing. Shinichi was the reason after all, the reason why he still has the willpower to continue his mission in search for a jewel that doesn't seem to exist and...

"The reason why this magician learned to love once again, without the fear of losing someone."

***

A few weeks flew by and finally, Kaito's birthday came. Usually, he would enjoy the attention he's getting from everyone where he receives all sort of birthday presents and greetings however this year, he doesn't feel like celebrating it. The feeling of emptiness seems to continue existing in his chest, which he doesn't know when and why it existed. Maybe when his precious Metantei stopped appearing when he holds a heist? He doesn't know but what he knows is that, he wishes to see his detective once more, because during tonight's heist-

"It'll be the last."

"I see you finally found the jewel that you seek."

Hearing this, Kaito turned around to see Akako sitting down on one of the table with her arm crossed and leg resting atop the other with a smile on her face. It's a good thing that class is over and it's only the two of them still present in the room. No matter how many times he tries to convince her, she stills undoubtedly thinks he's Kaitou Kid, which she's right but still won't dare reveal himself. Kaito will only reveal himself to one person, and that person is currently nowhere to be seen causing the magician to frowned and turned away.

Ignoring her words, he grabbed his bag and another one filled with presents he got from the class and was about to leave when Akako spoke once more, causing him to stopped on his tracks when he hears a familiar word.

"Then I presume you wouldn't want to know what The Demon of Light is up to?"

"Metantei?"

"... I'm just a normal University student, Akako. Whatever the Great Detective of the East does isn't my business."

Lies. Kaito has been itching to know how Shinichi has been for the passed few weeks of not seeing him. Did he finally made an antidote? Did he succeeded in returning back to his body? Will he... will he see him again? A lot of questions has been running in his mind that he sometimes has a hard time falling asleep at night. Who wouldn't when the person that you love dearly keeps on invading your mind? While distracted, Akako placed a hand on his shoulder which the magician only noticed when she spoke one last time before leaving him be with his thoughts and the surprising words she left.

"The Demon of Light that you hold dearly will appear tonight. This information is the only present I will be giving you, Kuroba-kun."

***

The moment Akako said those words, the hole in his chest disappeared in an instant by the thought of seeing his Metantei once again. He should be focusing on the heist that will start in about a minute but his mind keeps on wandering to the detective. How will the heist go now that the Great Detective is back to his body? Will it be the same as before or will the appearance of the famous detective who hadn't shown himself in the face of the media prevent him from getting the jewel? Either way, the thrill and adrenaline he's currently feeling still remains.

With a wide grinned on his face, the countdown begins.

"San. Ni. Ichi!!!"

Once the clock hits 9 o'clock, the Museum was suddenly covered with smoke with the Task Force already expecting it where they came prepared as they wore a smoke mask, not knowing the filter has been removed giving the smoke an entryway knocking every Task Force unconscious. As much as Kid wants to enjoy his final heist, it's finally the jewel he's been looking for so there's no time to have fun. As well as the reason that both the Organization has already heard of the jewel being possibly Pandora and his dear Metantei presence in the building.

After making sure everyone is asleep, he turned around to go and grabbed the jewel but was stopped by hearing a gunshot being fired to his direction. Knowing that Nakamori-keibu and his Task Force wouldn't dare fire a gun at him, he knew who the person responsible for this as he raised both hands up above his head. Thankfully, the bullet missed him but still left a hole on his white cape.

"To think you'll make things easier by knocking the annoying police for us. Now, step away from the jewel, Kaitou Kid."

Kid didn't move an inch after hearing Snake's instruction. Does he really think he'll surrender the jewel that quickly by firing a gun at him? He's willing to leave this place half dead if he has to so no threat will make him-

"Or do you prefer to see your favorite detective drop dead to the ground?"

Kid's mind went blank the moment he heard a muffled whimper from behind him, causing the phantom thief to quickly turned around and quickly let out a groaned when a bullet grazes his shoulder. Right in front of his eyes is a kid that's around Conan's age, head covered with burlap sack preventing him from getting a better look of the kid. So his Metantei failed to make an antidote? Is the reason why he stopped appearing whenever he holds a heist was because he was held hostage by the Organization?

This thought infuriated the Phantom Thief causing the men in black to laughed seeing how they finally have something that is a weakness against the magician. No mask can ever covered the anger Kid is feeling and before he could make any rash decisions, he heard his voice.

"What do you think are you doing acting all defenseless like that? Kid."

The wrath Kid was feeling disappeared into thin air and was replaced with the familiar feeling of excitement he always seem to feel whenever he's together with him. Turning around while holding his injured shoulder, his eyes met the ocean blue eyes he always adores and returning the sly smile on the detective face with a grinned. He successfully got his body back huh?

Snake and the rest was taken aback with the sudden appearance of the detective of the East but wasn't that fazed as they all pointed their guns at the two, having the feeling that they are the ones in control of the situation without knowing the Museum being surrounded by the police. The moment he heard a go signal in the earpiece Shinichi is wearing, he pulled Kid behind him upon hearing a loud bang behind the men in black, succeeding with distracting them as he kicked the smoke mask on the floor aiming it towards Snake's face. After Snake let out a loud groaned and letting go of the gun, the police quickly stormed in and surrounded the rest of Snake's men with the kid safely recovered and in Takagi's hands.

Shinichi let out a sighed of relief as he turned his gazed to Kid who's still stunned with everything that is happening before his eyes with mouth slightly parted. The detective only smiled at him while suggesting that they should talk elsewhere. Before Kid could protest and tried reaching for the jewel, his Metantei quickly pulled him away from the crowd and lead him up to the rooftop of the building.

Kid couldn't do anything and followed the detective as they climb up the flight of stairs. While staring at Shinichi's back, Kid couldn't control his emotions as he pulled the detective in his arms from behind, not giving him the chance to swung the open door to the rooftop as they stopped on their track. He could just steal the jewel again some other time but right now, he doesn't have any plan on letting go his Metantei who might disappear if he takes his eyes off him for a second.

When has it come to this? To think that he couldn't bear to no longer see Shinichi after constantly waiting for only a few weeks. Just the thought of waiting for him once more makes his heart ache. When did he became this vulnerable when it comes to the detective? Has he always love him this much? He doesn't know and he doesn't care anymore as long as he's with the detective that he holds dearly.

Shinichi wasn't any different from the magician embracing him from behind. The loud thumping on his chest when he thought he was already too late upon hearing a gunshot, the fast beating of his heart when finally seeing Kid for the first time in awhile, and... the feeling of passion and affection the phantom thief is currently showing him. He didn't made the wrong decision after all. Loving this idiot yet gentle magician was all worth it, and...

He's finally giving him his gift.

Shinichi placed a hand on Kid's arm asking him to be let go for a second which the the phantom thief reluctantly did, stepping a few steps away from him, he started talking.

"Remember what you said during that night? That, you might consider offering yourself instead as a present? Well, what will the famous Phantom Thief do if I steal that idea of yours, offering this Great Detective to you as a gift for this special occasion?"

With a wide grinned on Shinichi's face yet still not being able to hide the flustered expression he has, he slowly took out something from his pocket and placed it on the magician's hand. Kid couldn't helped but let his mask dissolved as it finally shows the expression and emotion that tells how overjoyed and delighted he is with hearing the detective's words. Uncovering his hand, a simple small red box revealed itself on his palm, snickering with how the detective is copying the way he handed him his gift except for the kneeling part.

"Happy Birthday, Kid."

"I don't think that whatever is inside this box can be compared to how much I want you to be mine."

"Oh believe me, you will be elated to see what's inside the box."

With a look of doubt on his face, he still opened the box and was greatly surprised to see the exact same jewel he saw earlier placed neatly inside, with a note attached to the lid part causing Kid's heart to flutter and tear up from this surprised present.

Pandora.

(I, too, no longer what to see my dear magician suffering. )

As the tears finally stream down his face, the door swung open as the strong night breeze comes in and the bright moonlight shining behind his Metantei who's smiling brightly at him. Kid couldn't helped but smiled back despite the tears in his eyes as he finally removed the monocle and the top hat off, indicating that Kaitou Kid's time has finally ended.

"You kept your words huh? Metantei."

"Didn't I told you? I will capture you before this year ends. Now, accept your fate Kuroba Kaito-kun."

He even already knows who he was? He is truly the great detective and will always be his Metantei. Kaito wiped his tears off and finally embraced Shinichi once more as he drops his monocle and top hat to the ground, saying one last thing that made Shinichi broke into a smile before returning back the kiss of passion the magician has given him.

"Well then, please take care of me from now on, Shinichi."

"I'm your problem now and you're mine."
