#having a kurobas moment

[starryrock]

Imagine how funny it’d be for everyone else when Kaito finally finds Pandora. The jeweler is nervous but otherwise resigned because, hey, at least he returns what he steals and the press coverage is able to cover most of the costs in property damage.

Then 3 weeks go by and the gem still isn’t back. Somehow, in some way, Kaito KID comes out with his statement: “I destroyed it. Sry not sorry lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It’s for the best, just trust me.”

Fantasy au delusion GO!!!! The idea was i like the outfit shinichi wears (black knight outfit) it'll be insane in a fantasy setting using it me thinks

Then evolves to it'll be funny if he gets "curse" and his soul gets bind to the armor instead like yknow insta killing or whatever! Living armor Shinichi is born and to be fair is very self indulgent :3c the horrors and whimsy go! Also Kaito design is inspired from witch hat atelier! To alter his ykniw kaitou kid regalia moment :Dd

A spell for warmth, a spell for comfort, a blanket for silence.

Morgana paced about the room, he's all alone again. Well, that's to be expected when Ren is now going about his usual schedule of hanging out with other people after school, it's always a good thing to deepen his bond with others. And quite frankly, Morgana prefers that right now, to be alone. It helps, the silence, allowing his thoughts to be loud enough for him to think everything through properly. Though now'd he think about it, even with Ren around the silence still lingers, considering how he isn't much of a talker, yet despite that, it was warm. Silence blanketing him in a warmth just by the presence of someone else he trusts and care for as a friend. One of the first friends that Morgana even had ever since he woke up in… this form. A cat… How useless.

They defeated Okumura, accomplished their mission and now all they have to do is wait, like always. But the feelings of self-doubt doesn't vanish just as easily as that, the feelings of uselessness that lingers even though a day or two had passed. He mostly had been pushing such feelings at the back of his mind the past couple of days, the air around them is still somewhat tense, with the public believing in the Phantom Thieves more and more. It isn't just them waiting on Okumura's change of heart now, but the majority of the public too. Not to mention having a new addition to the team means some readjustments in strategies and training so that Haru could get used to it all. There just hasn't been time for Morgana to focus on his feelings at all. Was there even a reason to?

He'll get over this in the future anyway. Right, he can prove to everyone just how helpful and useful he can be in the future! There will be more opportunities then! So there's really no need to linger on it… Really…

Morgana huffed, in the end, he still feels a bit heavy.

He then heard the sound of footsteps climbing up the stairs, that might be Ren, so Morgana stood still, shaking his head and took a deep breath to compose himself. It'll be fine, he shouldn't worry Ren about this.

“You're bac—”

Ah. It's just Kaito.

Kaito laughed, “Whoa, I never thought I'd see a cat quickly shift expressions from excited to disappointed in seconds!”

Morgana sighed, though it only came out as a huff. Well, at least this time he didn't mimic Ren's voice.

“Heeey~ Cat got your tongue?” Kaito teased.

Ugh, Morgana doesn't have the time nor the energy to deal with this. Kaito can't even understand him so what's the point in speaking? It'll only come out as meows so Morgana can't even just tell him to shut up or leave him alone. This is the worst, he'd rather talk to Ryuji instead.

With another huff, Morgana tried his best to glare at Kaito before turning around to lay on the cough, curling his body into a ball and putting a paw on his ears, he knows it's useless with how sensitive cat's ears are but muffling even just some of Kaito's voice is enough for him and maybe, just maybe, it'll come off as a clear message that Morgana doesn't wanna listen to him at all.

Seconds pass in silence.

A moment, and then another. And yet… Morgana can still feel someone's gaze on him.

UGH! SERIOUSLY JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!

Morgana stood and quickly turned to face Kaito with the intent to hiss and bare his teeth, much like an annoyed cat would, it'd be obvious then, right?

But… he stopped midway.

Kaito still stood by the stairs, a serious expression on his face, it was rare for him to have such an expression when he's always smiles and tricks. His eyes were focused on Morgana, scanning his body from top to bottom, what is he looking for exactly?

“You—” Though Morgana knew only a meow would reach Kaito's ears, he couldn't help but try to speak anyway.

“Are you upset about something?” An attempt that was cut-off by Kaito's sudden question.

What… What is he—

Kaito's lips curled into a small smile, one that strangely feels genuine, not unlike the others he had which only felt like… a mask, “Eheheh, I don't know. It just feels like it. You're a smart kitty so I thought that maybe… … Say, can I sit next to you?”

. . .

Morgana doesn't really know what's happening anymore. Kaito is enshrouded in one too many mysteries, possibly even more than that Detective Prince. How can he figure that out when he can't even understand what Morgana's saying in the first place? Just from body language? Of a CAT? …Aren't all cats supposed to be easily irritated and annoyed?

. . .

Morgana huffed, he moved over to the other end of the couch, allowing space for Kaito to sit down on.

“Thanks!” Kaito sat down, seemingly making sure to leave out enough space between them.

“So… Hmm…” Kaito put a hand on his chin, deep in thought, most likely figuring out on how to cheer up a cat.

Morgana can't help but feel slightly moved by that.

“Uhh… I don't really know how to cheer up a cat. I don't even know what you're upset about.” He chuckled, “I doubt I can even figure that one out!”

A beat of silence pass, though strangely it wasn't as cold as before.

“How about…” He grinned, flicking his hand, a red rose appeared seemingly out of thin air, “some magic tricks?”

Morgana huffed, in his head he wore a smirk, such an expression not quite easily done on a cat's face, “What other magic tricks are there anyway?”

After all, Kaito has done at least a number of it already whenever he's around them. He seems to really enjoy doing it.

“Oh? Is that possibly doubt towards the many tricks up my sleeves?” Kaito wagged his finger while clicking his tongue, “Never doubt a magician's tricks, smart feline!”

And with a toothy grin, Kaito stood up, opening his arms wide as he announced, “Welcome to Kaito's special magic show! I'll be sure to make you smile, my furry friend.”

Morgana huffed, in a friendly mocking tone, as a means to take up Kaito's challenge, and another as a way to say “Cat's can't smile, dumbass.”

“Ehehehe! Keep your eyes peeled now! You don't wanna miss a second of this after all!”

Frankly, Morgana's problems still lingers, something he'd have to deal with in the future. But despite that, he didn't feel as heavy as before. In the comfort of the couch, Morgana watched a magician weaved spells in the form of tricks, all to cheer up a mere cat. And maybe, that's all Morgana needed today.

[pinktie]

Can I trouble you with an ask about the Kurobas' parenting style? Pretty please elaborate on how they are both bad parents.

Alright, buckle up cause this is kinda angsty.

So, there’s something disturbingly manipulative about the Kurobas' parenting style.

Imagine being Kuroba Kaito, a 16-year-old boy who idolizes your deceased father, cherishing every lesson he taught you. One day, you stumble upon a secret room hidden beneath your own bedroom, and what you discover shatters your world: your beloved father, your role model, was Kaito KID—the world's most wanted criminal. You’re left feeling shocked and confused. You desperately want answers, but there’s no one around to provide them. In your desperation, the only logical thing you can think of is to step into your father’s shoes. So, you put on the Phantom Thief’s mantle, becoming the new Kaito KID.

Not long after, you uncover another devastating truth: your father's death wasn’t an accident—it was murder. Fueled by rage, you vow to find those responsible pay.

Except, your father isn’t really dead.

The most terrifying revelation is the implication that Toichi's fake death and Chikage’s absence are part of a long-term plan they’ve been orchestrating for over eight years.

Toichi and Chikage have conditioned Kaito to believe that he's good enough to become Kaito KID.

His father drilled the importance of maintaining a poker face into him, a skill that’s invaluable for a magician to remain composed and unshaken under pressure. For a performer, that advice is crucial to keep a show continued. But in this case, there’s no "show"—only real peril. It’s as if his father’s teaching to " Don't forget your Poker Face" was his way of saying, "Tell no one"

Not only that, his mother's lack of presence at the most convenient moment has left Kaito no other choice but to rely on the assistance of Jii, a 60-year-old man.

They are aware of what was coming for Kaito when he became KID—the enemies he’d face, the dangers he'd be thrown into. And yet, they still let him take on the mantle, knowingly exposing him to danger.

Not to mention, his room is dominated by a large photo of his "dead" father, serving as a constant reminder of the man he idolized. It reinforced his father’s presence in his life, deepening the sense of indoctrination with every glance.

If this was a deliberate act of parental manipulation, where they conditioned their only child to continue their criminal legacy as Kaito KID, it would be one of the darkest plot twists of all time—a reflection of twisted parental indoctrination, where Kaito was raised to unknowingly carry out their dangerous plans.

I'm aware that this isn't the author's intentions, but it's fascinating how, when viewed through a darker lens, the Kuroba family dynamic could be interpreted as psychological horror.

[leonawriter]

Somehow a thought of "Kaito looks through Pandora but something weirdly cognitive happens instead of just it glowing red" sparked off "P4 crossover: just how fucked is Kaito if he wound up on the Midnight Channel?"

Like... Shinichi, if he was thrown in, would have the element of "most of the population would think that's sci-fi/fantasy, not real life, and laugh it off if they saw" but if even a handful of random people saw something that had Kuroba Kaito blatantly admitting to being Kid? His life would be SHAMBLES. It would be OVER for him.

Part of me thinks that'd be a fun thing to play with, but part of me's just... I'd want the concept of the dungeon maybe, but with not just the Investigation Team but also that if say, Hakuba and/or Aoko were there too, the IT wouldn't need to bother with hearing details, because that'd be sorted. They'd see one showing, if that, depending on the weather.

Heck, maybe Kaito would be particularly infuriating, spy on random people, see the killer saying or doing something he really shouldn't be, and he gets shoved in without any planning. Maybe the first show doesn't even give all that much away - but the moment anyone who's In The Know sees the silhouette of Kid, they start realising that this is potentially the worst case scenario and start moving really quickly.

I've always thought Kaito's persona would be something like an alternate read on Arsène Lupin, because of course it would, and would probably look closer to his dad in Kid's outfit than anything else. As for elements? Probably Bless.

And of course Shadows aren't the nice things you repress, so... it'd be everything Kaito keeps hidden under his Poker Face; the trauma of losing his dad, the fear of losing everyone he cares about to secrets, the fear of being arrested and killed, the fact that this is a vigilante revenge trip for him, so some part of him would want to make these people suffer for what they've done to his dad, and what they want to do to him, the way he doesn't trust detectives...

Shadow Kaito saying hurtful things like wait, you think I care about Aoko? She's just a useful means to an end, at this point, I wouldn't put up with her otherwise and I much prefer it when Hakuba's away because who wants someone like that coming after you? It's no wonder he doesn't have any friends if that's how he is but also I'm better off on my own, aren't I? So what if the detectives have all the connections - the more people who know who you are, the more can screw you over in the end.

Kaito refusing all of it and denying it and the others having to fight a terrifying monstrous Kid-a-like Shadow that makes them attack their teammates and puts them to sleep and hurts them, which is going to end up in Kaito's nightmares.

His Shadow being defeated and now... now it's not a scary and angry and spewing hate, it's just small and fully expecting to be pushed away, because that's what he does to other people, and... Kaito has to go up, and accept it.

Accept that yeah, he has used Aoko like that more than he should have. That yeah, he's let his fear of Hakuba just doing the detective thing and turning him in blind him to the fact that the guy is also just lonely and in need of friends. And... yeah, he hasn't been trying to connect with others as much as he could.

They go back to Ekoda and everyone's wondering what the heck even happened, because Kaito is different. Not a bad different - he seems kind of happier and more confident. But definitely changed.

Let's Go Get Lost (kaishin)

by: speckled_dragon

https://archiveofourown.org/works/14454282/chapters/33390519

chapters: 3/3 words: 24,838

Summary:

Shinichi always knew he’d leave when no one needed him anymore. He just hadn’t expected anyone to chase after him.

Lil note:

Canon compliant, post-canon

As a kid, Shinichi has promised himself that despite having a wanderlust, he would stay in Japan as long as he was needed here. But after the Conan predicament, he finds out he no longer has any reason to stay. So he leaves the country the moment he gets his chance without realising that there actually is someone who needed him.

Kaishin secret santa 2023

This is a Kaishin roleswap au for @blueamphibians! I hope you enjoy this art + my ramblings on the au underneath. Because of course, I couldn't just leave it as one piece of art haha (ehem please buckle in for preparation)

Many thanks to @dcmkkaishinevents / Mack for hosting this event, it was super fun participating and interacting with the community <3 <3 As a side note, I would absolutely recommend it to others who are considering signing up next year. Everyone is very friendly!

(Hey Blue, I had more art planned but unfortunately many things came up. But I hope you enjoy this anyways! I might draw some more for you later ^-^ Thanks so much for this prompt <3 <3)

Edit: I have decided that now you will receive a completed arts + ramblings + some WIPs behind the scene hahahaha https://www.tumblr.com/cyndraws/737208478471487488/kaishin-secret-santa-2023-extras-basically-wips?source=share

AU ramblings under the cut (ngl it's a lot):

Random details and notes that don't really fit anywhere. Mostly about the fanart:

Kaito is 1 year older than Shin and is taller than him

This scene is set over the Haido City hotel. In the distance you can see Shiriyomi Trust Hotel (can't full recognise it behind Kaito but I assure you I drew it lol), Tokyo tower (easy to spot) and Roppongi Hills Mori Tower (Just behind Shin on the right, the one with the lights in a --u-- shape) Main reference: https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Haido_City_Hotel

I was also screaming at the Kaishin pic in ED70 throughout this LMAO.

Kaito breaks through Shinichi's mysterious KID persona in this drawing and Shinichi shyly reveals his face behind the mask. Kaito then produces a blue flower, claiming it matches Shinichi's beautiful eyes (he's also the one who bred it)

Kaito has extra pockets sewn into his uniform to carry more tricks. This wasn't really necessary in canon, but here, Kaito has to be prepared to investigate at any moment.

Lmao help me render hair *stares at Kaito's* Cool effect but not quite right. I need to go experiment later.

Kaito/Shin getting shrunk (aka Conan situation) never happens in this au. But Haibara and the other victims are still around. Haibara still lives at the professor's.

~

Background:

Yusaku was much more entangled and involved with Toichi and his fight with the Black Org. Side note but in this au, Snake is from a division of the Black Org

As a result, they both end up being killed during the fateful accident. Yes, both Shinichi and Kaito are there for it. They were going to be introduced to each other on that day, but well,,, we can see the way it ended.

It wasn't well known that the Kuroba and Kudo family were close at all. Extra vigilance was taken after the funerals to ensure their safety. Their families parted ways for the better or worse after thsi event.

Yusaku's and Toichi's friendship/rivalry included collaborating for some heists, having a second secret base in the Kudo mansion, and Yusaku donning the Night Baron costume... even if he was just hidden in a car and sending information to Toichi via an earpiece lol.

After their husbands' deaths, Yukiko and Chikage meet up occasionally and travel together in secret.

~

Shinichi:

Shinichi never became a famous detective. The years after Yusaku died in the tragic accident, Yukiko and him tried their best to move on with varying success. Shinichi's dream to become a famous detective never came to fruition.

This was because for various reasons including not having Yusaku's guiding hand to develop Shin's detective skills, was only being taken to crime scenes for a year, and of course the trauma.

After avoiding detective work as much as he could (well considering that he's still a corpse magnet), Shinichi finally starts to dig through his memories. From then, he uncovered a strange inconsistency with the logic of his father's death and starts to obsess over the idea that it was a murder.

Shin painstakingly and slowly investigates in the shadows with his *ehem* admittedly rusty detective skills and chases after the very little crumbs left by the organisation. What he uncovers is that the accident wasn't one at all, but premeditated murder by an encompassing third party.

Shinichi finally finds a lead to,,, Jii Konosuke. This takes quite a few years, and Shinichi is 15 when he confronts Jii.

Jii reveals everything after Shinichi's deduction and also mistaking him for Kaito. And such Shinichi is brought into the fold. Shinichi also makes up his mind to take on the KID mantle, greatly sympathising with the fellow teen whose father was also involved.

The years after Shinichi uncovers the truth, he learns many skills such as disguise, acting and magic from Jii and Chikage. However, his magic skills will never be on par with Kaito's.

Shinichi in this au has more acting and disguise skills from living with his mother. She passed this skills onto him, and they bonded over it to recover from their grief.

When Shinichi is 17, he officially takes on the role of KID. Chikage permanently locked the KID cave in the Kuroba house, and the KID cave settled in its new home in the Kudo mansion. Inside the second base previously used by Toichi and Yusaku.

Shinichi as KID:

Well, he's just as dramatic as Kaito in canon, but it's a different kind of dramatic. Shin is more of a mysterious and cryptic phantom thief and wears a menacing Night Baron mask. He overall speaks less, and when he does, he says a lot of dramatic lines. Like in theatre almost, with plenty of double meanings.

He takes on a lot of aspects from the Phantom Lady and Jii's interpretation of KID.

And also, I was inspired by the Black Knight, Shiragami in canon, and AngelicSentinel's fantastic fic, Heart of Eternity. I guess you could describe it as more theatrely, cool and princely. He's still very athletic (laughing at Shinichi being Tarzan as Shiragami)

Unlike Kaito, Shin's notices often involve cryptic riddles. It satisfies Shinichi's puzzle loving side and adds to his mysterious reputation.

It's funny to me how Akako's 'Demon of Light' moniker is still accurate haha

Shinichi investigates a little in the shadows and is overall a touch more hot-headed than Kaito KID

He uses a lot more gadgets to cover for his lesser magic skills. He's still learning though! A lot of them are references to Conan's and KID's in canon. Between Jii and Agasa, he gets a lot of them haha. This includes:

Mask/monocle -> voice changer, mask to cover for poker face, zoom and night vision, tracker, microphone and radio, gas mask.

Transmitter/microphone -> button stickers, bugs in general, cufflinks. In some cases, a camera but it must be asked for first. Shin uses these to cover for Kaito's doves in canon.

Wristwatch -> Clock of course for his heist times, tranquilliser, emergency flashbomb (KID has one in canon too)

Shoes -> jet powered rollerskates (equivalent to skateboard). Of course, Shin still kicks things but it looks more to take down the occasional criminal, trigger emergency traps, and more. He doesn't kick often because it doesn't really suit the image of KID + it's a unique skill to have.

+ other usual KID gadgets -> smoke, flash, sleeping bombs, grapple gun, hang glider, etc.

~

Kaito:

He's still an aspiring magician

Since there's a rising amount of cases in Beika, Kaito gets recommended by Nakamori because of his magic skills. The idea is that his knowledge of magic tricks will help uncover the criminals' tricks... Well this includes basically all cases lol. It works though! And the news of Meitantei Kaito starts to spread.

Kaito falls in love with the dramatics and triumphs of figuring out a criminal's trick. He starts to get called into Beika every time a case is discovered. One different to Shin is that Kai gets called to the cases instead of the cases coming to him.

His detective persona is like KID's in canon - flirty, dramatic, confident, charming, a bit of a pervert, and a classic showman's personality. Aoko is sick of it hahaha.

Kai's deduction show is very dramatic. He uses flashy magic tricks to reveal evidence and tricks, and uses his magic to take down criminals.

This includes his acrobatics, trusty card gun and traps he set beforehand. I like to headcanon that Kaito invented his cardgun first before integrating into KID. Kaito's cardgun includes the normal sharp cards (Kaito uses it to pin down criminals with their clothes, cut ropes, etc), tranquilliser laced cards, smoke and flash bombs. And also sleeping bombs but he uses it vary sparingly because even that toes the law a little too much... Megure is exasperated but the criminals are taken down quickly without much harm so he lets it slide

Kaito also follows in the spirit of dubious investigation. He changes his voice, uses his doves to spy on others, uses disguises (very very rarely), and is noisy overall.

Kaito and Hakuba:

Has a detective rivalry with Hakuba.

Hakuba still thinks, even in this au, that Kaito is KID. After all, Shin's profile is very similar to Kaito's. Kaito vehemently denies it but acts like a KID fan around Hakuba to annoy him. He isn't really though, citing KID's magic to be third rate, but he is still intrigued.

Hakuba offhandedly slips in wording and insinuations to Kaito's huge annoyance. You can imagine them bickering at a crime scene while Megure is just Too Used to this.

Much later on, when Kaito learns Shinichi's identity, Kaito tells Shinichi's about Hakuba's warnings. So Kaito is kinda a messenger between the two. Despite Hakuba being annoying, Kaito knows he can trust him.

~ Other character interactions:

Shinichi and Kaito:

Shinichi is still a corpse magnet. So he encounters a case, calls the police, and escapes as fast as he can after giving a witness statement. This is partly to avoid the awkwardness of meeting Megure and the police officers (he hasn't met them since his father died), as well as his new night job.

This results in the most frustrating yet amusing situation where Shin and Kaito miss meeting each other for quite a few years. Shinichi is busy hurrying off while Kaito is called to the scene and busy listening to the details.

Quick sketch I may/may not fully finish in the future:

Description: Set in suburban Beika. Shinichi is at the foreground, looking at his watch and worrying about meeting Jii on time. Meanwhile, next to a police car, Megure merrily discusses case details to Kaito. Kaito is glancing over to Shinichi in curiosity while keeping an ear open. He has his hands in his pockets. Behind Megure, the scene has police tape barring entrance.

~

Kaito thinks KID is a third rate magician but can appreciate the dramatics and mysteriousness. He is Intrigued. This leads to a meeting later on. Kaito uses his connection to Nakamori.

Shinichi is of course startled by Kaito's namedrop.

... Sorry no more details/plan about their meeting. It's definitely a dramatic face off though.

Regarding Shinichi's identity reveal, I was playing around with the idea that Snake is there, threatening the two at gunpoint and sneering over the '"lovely family reunion between father and son". It would definitely spur Kaito to grill Shin for more details

~

Shinichi and Hattori:

Hattori hears about the "Meitantei of the East" and goes off to meet him and challenge him to a deduction battle. He doesn't know how to contact him, so he goes with the strat of wandering around Beika until he runs into a case. He figured that with the high rate of cases being reported, he's eventually run into Kuroba ,,, yeah hahahaha Thats his entire plan

Luckily for Hattori, his detective luck exponentially multiplies with Shin's and a scream runs out. As Shinichi is reporting the crime and tried to head off, Hattori slings an arm around his shoulders to stop him from sneaking off.

Hattori loudly greets him as Kuroba despite Shinichi's insistence that "No, I am NOT Kuroba, please get your arm off me". Insert much scepticism from Hattori.

Even after they part ways, this isn't the last they see of each other. Hattori keeps wandering around Beika while running into Shinichi. They eventually become friends huhu.

Shinichi and the Detective Boys:

The Detective Boys admire Kaito a lot. Obviously they've watched the news reports on TV. So when they see him at the park playing soccer, they glomp him HAHAH Poor Shinichi

At this point I think people mistaking Shinichi as Kaito can be a running gag. The Detective Boys keep annoying Shinichi and even attempt breaking into the 'Edo house' to see the ghosts... Shinichi is still not happy. And also, when they visit Haibara, they're basically next doors so Shinichi's never going to get them out of his life.

Despite the annoyance, he eventually becomes fond of them and takes on the big brother sort of role.

When Kaito and Shinichi get acquainted, they take the DB on outings a lot. The DB is very fond of Kaito-nii-san and Shinichi-nii-san.

Prompt: When you are sick || Gosho Boys

warnings!!! excessive fluff, characters are highschoolers, endearments, and there are grammatical errors ahead. Please read with a grain of salt.

Pairings: kudo shinichi, hakuba saguru, hattori heiji, kuroba kaito x gn!reader (separately)

The moment you stepped foot in Poirot for a coffee day out with him—which happens once in a blue moon—he could tell right away that you were not in the condition to go out today.

From your choice of shoes to your odd color combination of clothes and your pallid face, drained of color and making you appear almost ghostly, he noticed. Adding to his concern was the way you walked: a sluggish, unsteady gait, as if each step was a monumental effort.

When you sat down across from him, before you could even greet him, he beat you to it.

"Change of plans. Let's head to my place and watch a movie instead."

At the Kudo mansion, he had both of you surrounded by blankets. He made sure to make up for your coffee date by having this movie marathon. With a fever patch on your forehead, he made sure to keep you hydrated from time to time.

Although you weren't burning up too much, he was cautious and insisted you stay on the couch while he got what you needed. He would spare some time for tales of Sherlock and watch the movie in peace with you in his arms.

At some point, his mom visited. Learning that you were sick, Yukiko spoiled you with her cooking and scolded Shinichi for not realizing that you were sick sooner before your date.

You sweat-dropped as you watched Shinichi getting scolded in the kitchen, he then walked back towards you with a cup of tea and placed it on the table.

"Mom made that. She says it'll help you feel a bit relaxed," he said, sitting down next to you and watching you curl up with a smile.

"Your mom is the best."

He let out a soft hum in agreement. "She is. Now drink up," he said, subtly checking your temperature by tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, his fingertip brushing softly against your forehead.

He was glad you weren't burning up as much as before.

Guess who would ditch their flight to London and come back to you?

Hakuba Saguru. The man of time.

When he received your call—where you were intending to check if he had arrived safely at the airport and apologized for not being able to accompany him—he heard you sneeze and cough multiple times, and concluded you were sick.

Reassuring him that you only missed a couple of classes and would get back to it with no worries worried him. The content of the call was less about him and more about you.

After ending the call to take a nap, you woke up nearly eight in the evening. Realizing you had missed dinner, you heard the door of your bedroom suddenly open.

There he was, walking through the door and toward the bed, in his white button-up blouse with its sleeves rolled up to his elbow, holding a tray of porridge.

Blinking not twice but thrice, you thought you were hallucinating that he was here.

"You're awake," he smiled at you and placed the tray on the nightstand before sitting on the edge of the bed and reaching to touch your forehead. "Mhm, you're not burning up anymore," he said, to which your eyes went wide as saucers as the realization hit you.

"Saguru?!" He's supposed to be in London by now, solving a case! you thought to yourself.

"Yes, my love?" he replied smoothly before cupping your right cheek, as if ditching the case wasn't a big deal to him. "You're supposed to be in London, why—"

"What do you mean?" he quickly intervened. "I can catch my flight again once you're better. I can't leave knowing you're bedridden, sick, dying, with no one to take care of you," he exaggerated.

Your lips formed a small pout, insisting that you were perfectly capable on your own, but he dismissed it with a chuckle.

"I insist on staying," he said, leaving no room for argument.

With that, the room felt a little livelier with his presence, tending to your weak condition with hot porridge and whispers of sweet nothings, reassuring you.

"My love, no time is wasted when it comes to you."

This guy… would take care of you with little snide comments, "How are you going to catch me, Kid, in that condition now, hmm?" He cutely pops out a rose and places it in the vase on your nightstand.

He visited you after school and has been doing so for the past three days of your absence. He would hand over Aoko's notes to you, which he borrowed since he knew you would just complain about his handwriting if he gave you his.

But it isn't about the handwriting; it's the thought that counts.

"You've been making origami? How is that going to catch— Oh, I see, they're cute," he hummed, throwing a ball into the air as he leaned against a table.

"Do you still have medicine? Do you want me to run down to the pharmacy for you?"

This guy is always attentive when it comes to taking care of you, with a few flirty comments here and there, no doubt. But you wouldn't complain about his company at all.

He would often lift the mood by showing you his magic tricks and would boast, "I am better than Kid," although he's Kid himself.

"Seriously, Kaito, you're making a clown of yourself at this point."

"Hah? No way! I'm taking care of you with my special performance. You should be grateful!"

Just like Kaito, he would deliver his notes straight to you right after school. His notes. He's a detective; surely his handwriting isn't as bad as the thief's.

He would accompany you, making sure you weren't gloomed up in your room, and would take you outside to the balcony for a little sun.

He would swing his kendo sword, letting you watch some of his moves. On other days, he would cuddle up with you and watch a police detective documentary in your living room.

At night, his mom visited you with dinner-packed boxes. They were warmly wrapped and really healthy for a sick person. She was also skilled in kendo and would gossip about Heiji from when he used to train and share funny moments from his childhood.

One of those moments was when Heiji slipped on the wooden floorboard when he swung his sword too fast, and his body didn't follow.

Heiji's brow would twitch, and he would say, "They don't need to know about that, old hag."

After some time, when you felt a little better, he would promise to take you to the ramen shop he had invited you to before you got sick.

He knew Osaka like the back of his hand; he would take you anywhere, just name the place.

Kaito is Shinichi’s/Conan’s guardian angel

World in which every person has a Guardian Angel that can be just similar or have basically the same appearance with their human. Of course Guardians exist as independent “human” beings. Some Guardian families live on Earth in human disguise for generations and essentially blend in(one of this family’s is Kuroba)

In or after near death experience people can see their guardians, who eventually will lead them to afterlife/reincarnation after their death (so after BigShrink takes place Shinichi start seeing this „elusive figure in white” or white feathers appearing from nowhere)

In old times Guardian Angels had to record the life of their mortal with every decision they made and predispose them to make some decisions or actions that can help them live righteous life. In modern days Guardians main job is to record their in charge life with minimal intervention in it(with Sinichi’s “good luck” Kaito has to intervene a LOT)

So Kaito have to live a triple live of Kuroba Kaito|Kaito KID|Shinichi’s Guardian Angel.

…

Shinichi thoughts: If Guardian Angels really exist, then mine is probably the laziest of them all.

/At this moment, Kaito spends all his luck to ensure that the poison that was shoved down Shinichi's throat didn’t fully work, which is why he turned into a child, and didn’t die on the spot/: ...

My dear Watson

Hakuba Saguru x reader Words: 2.7K Warnings: slight violence (one gun shot), slight angst A/N: Hey, don't stress yourself. I hope this is alright, I think I messed up a bit towards the end :)

Saguru took his hands out of his pockets and tilted his head slightly, a knowing smile on his lips. “So the only logical conclusion is that the murderer of Yamamoto Haruki-san can't be anyone else,” he paused briefly until his eyes found the person he was looking for and he pointed to her. “- than his ex-girlfriend Takahashi Aiko-san!”

She flinched, her eyes wide, an almost panicked smile on her lips. “Me? What motive would I have to kill him? And... And besides,” she raised her voice, ”I was talking loudly on the phone! So loud, in fact, that your little friend heard it!” She pointed at you and Saguru's face hardened for a split second before the confident smile returned to his lips.

“That's right. Your voice was heard. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that you were actually in the room at that moment."

With an effortless movement, he fished the small recording device out of the pocket of his coat and held it out to her, watching as her indignant expression gave way to one of resignation. “I found this outside under the window of your room. I'm sure that when the police play the recordings, we'll hear exactly what my friend heard from your room.”

A soft, resigned snort escaped Takahashi as she slumped to the floor, burying her hands in the carpet. The inspector approached Saguru and patted him once on the shoulder appreciatively before ordering his men to take Takahashi to the station for questioning so that Saguru could finally turn to face you.

He claimed that he fought crime to do justice, to bring the truth to light, just as Holmes did in his novels. What he never admitted was that he lived for the moment when he presented his conclusions and that glow appeared on your face and you smiled broadly at him, almost admiringly. Saguru had met you a few months ago, when you were falsely accused of murder. He was the only one who had realized from the beginning that you could not possibly have committed the crime and the fact that he had defended you had not been forgotten.

A few days later he met you again, this time in a more civilized setting in the park and you recognized him immediately. The fact that you had approached him and, in front of Kuroba, who had made fun of him behind Saguru's back, had asked if you could invite him to a café as a thank you, had made a slight impression on him.

He knew the kind of impression he could sometimes have on people, and the way you had been wringing your hands, he could only conclude that you had been nervous and had summoned up all your courage to speak to him. It had been touching in a strange way.

In the café, where the two of you had spent several hours in pleasant conversation, you had finally given him your number - and surprised him again. Saguru was used to getting the number of many people. He didn't pretend not to know that his looks and manners were attractive to many. But you hadn't given him your number in the hope of a date or romantic advances, no.

You had smiled wryly, ran your fingers through your hair and said you appreciated his company and hoped you could call him a friend.

To be honest, he had been too perplexed to answer at first, but he had managed to catch himself relatively quickly and had dictated his number to you with a broad, honest smile. In the weeks that followed, Saguru had been lucky enough to be in your presence several times and he had quickly realized that you were a more than pleasant presence in his life. You had a kind of humor that made him laugh every time. Your stories, no matter how jumbled they were told, managed to captivate him every time. And the most refreshing thing for him?

You had no expectations of him.

People always had expectations of Saguru. Perfect son, excellent student, well-mannered gentleman and so on. Rarely did he meet a person who simply took him as he was, which is why he approached your warm, open presence like moths to a flame.

And yet, no matter how hard he tried, he didn't always manage to keep you out of his cases. Saguru did his best, but sometimes, when the crime had just been committed, there was no other way. And yet you surprised him again by remaining relatively calm. Although you were rarely able to draw the necessary conclusions that led to the solution of the mystery, you often offered a perspective that he had not considered before or found clues that others easily overlooked. This had happened so often until he was asked where his “Watson” was when he was alone on a case, as the two of you were rarely seen alone.

And he had been happy. Until his heart started beating strangely fast from one day to the next. It didn't take a genius to figure out why - Saguru developed romantic feelings for you. And normally, he was the kind of person who would deal with it quickly and confess his feelings so that he could deal with them appropriately. With you, however, his throat closed up every time he tried.

Because no matter how much he thought and pondered, he couldn't deduce what your feelings were towards him. To him, you were a sealed book. In other circumstances, such a prospect, such a challenge would have thrilled him - now it only made him feel queasy as his heart began to flutter at the sight of you or the sound of your voice.

“Fantastic as always, Mr. Holmes,” you smiled and stepped towards him, whereupon the aforementioned fluttering of his heart once again started in his chest. Your eyes seemed to sparkle and the warm feeling that spread through him was almost unbearable.

“I wouldn't have made it if you hadn't pointed out the dent in the door frame.” “Yes, you would have,” you replied and tilted your head slightly, a mischievous smile on your lips. “It just would have taken you a little longer.” Saguru was still thinking about what to say when Takahashi suddenly raised her voice behind him.

“He had it coming.” Saguru turned around with a furrowed brow and saw that she was now back on her feet, tears streaming down her cheeks. Whether they were tears of anger or sadness, however, he could not determine. “No one deserves to die,” he argued, but she only laughed shrilly. “He took everything from me. Everything!” Saguru felt you move behind him, now tense as well, as she continued to laugh. “Takahashi-san, I have to ask you-” he started again, but was interrupted by her. “That bastard betrayed me! He drove me to ruin! He exposed me in front of everyone!”

All at once she tore herself away from the policemen and pulled a pistol out of the inside pocket of her jacket. Screams rang out, shouts from the policemen, but the only thing Saguru could think of while his eyes were fixed on the barrel of the gun was to protect you. Slowly, he pushed himself in front of you, hoping to cover you with his body, but this movement seemed to attract Takahashi's attention as she instantly pointed the gun at him.

He heard you gasp, but he couldn't worry about you - his focus was now entirely on the desperate woman in front of him. “Takahashi-san, put the gun down. No innocent people need to die.” She laughed out, the exasperation clear on her face. “Innocent people don't have to die, that's true. But you, you ruined everything. You are not innocent.”

For once, his excellent brain let him down. For once, he wasn't able to draw the necessary conclusion quickly enough. For once, you were faster than him. Saguru barely managed to open his eyes before the sound of a bang echoed through the room. Without even registering what had happened, he felt someone grab him by the coat and fall to the floor with him. A pained groan rang out, followed by a heavy weight on top of him, while the shouts of the policemen rang out as they wrestled Takahashi to the ground.

Saguru didn't care, however, as his gaze was focused on your form in shock. You lay crumpled over him, knocking him to the ground, and he was horrified to feel something warm and moist seeping through onto his top.

“Hey! Hey!” Panic set in as he sat up and quickly but gently rolled you off him, only to gasp in terror. A red mark had begun to form on your right side and judging by the pain-filled groans, it wasn't just a graze. “We need a doctor! “ he shouted, waiting long enough to see the inspector reach for his phone and shout orders before turning to you and trying to staunch the wound.

“Why?!” he burst out, trying to suppress the tingling in his eyes. “Why would you do something so reckless, so stupid?” You smiled weakly before your eyes rolled back and you lost consciousness. He shouted your name, lightly slapping your cheek, but it made no difference.

Saguru didn't know how long it took for the emergency doctors to come and pull him away from your body, carry it onto a stretcher and carry it out. He followed them every step of the way to the ambulance, where he was allowed to ride along. He was grateful to the inspector for having Takahashi taken away already. Saguru couldn't guarantee that he would have been able to pull himself together and remain rational.

~**~

Four hours, ten minutes, five seconds.

Saguru stared at his pocket watch, transfixed, while the chaos of the hospital continued around him. It had been that long since you had been shot. He had been asked to come back tomorrow, as it was already late, but no one in the world could have taken him further away from you than the hospital corridor at that moment. Exactly twenty-two minutes and thirty seconds ago, one of the doctors had gone to him and assured him that the operation had been successful.

Saguru hadn't been ashamed of the tears of relief that had streamed down his cheeks. He had been assured that he would be told when you woke up and the doctors' final checks had been carried out.

And while outwardly he gave off a controlled appearance, he had to pull himself together several times not to jump up and demand to be brought to you.

Saguru opened and closed his watch and resisted the urge to trudge up and down the corridor when a nurse suddenly approached him. “Are you Hakuba Saguru-san?” He looked up immediately and stood up, nodding. She gestured for him to follow her and Saguru had to pull himself together not to ask her to walk faster.

After what seemed like an eternity - it was exactly two minutes and fourteen seconds - they stopped in front of a room. “Please stay calm and try not to upset the patient. They need to rest.” He nodded and bowed hastily in thanks, waiting until the nurse was out of sight. Only then did he exhale briefly to calm his nervously beating heart before he knocked, waited briefly and then entered.

The first thing that crossed Saguru's mind when he saw you was that you had never looked more out of place. The room was plain and sterile, both walls and furniture painted an unpleasantly cold white, so that he was a little ashamed of himself for not having brought you flowers to at least add some color. Of course, he was aware that all the stores were closed by now and he probably couldn't have moved away from the hospital corridor himself even if he'd wanted to, because the mere thought that you might need him and he wouldn't be there broke his heart.

“Hey,” he mumbled, slowly stepping closer until he could sit in the chair next to your bed and your hand was in his. You looked weak, drained and pale, but you were still smiling slightly at him. “When the nurse said that there was an upset young man in the hallway who hadn't moved for hours, it wasn't hard to figure out who she meant.”

It was clearly an attempt to lighten the mood, but he didn't feel like joking. Instead, he clutched your hand even tighter. “What were you thinking? You could have been hurt worse!” His voice wasn't loud or accusatory, just exhausted and quiet. You turned your head slightly so you could see him better. “Is that any way to thank your savior?” Again, he didn't respond to your jokes.

“Stop it, please. You could have died!” His eyes fluttered over your face, now registering sympathy and slight sadness, and it was wrong. You were shot! He should have sympathy for you! “I could have lost you. Forever! Do you think I could live with that?” His voice got softer and softer towards the end and he lowered his head in the hope that you wouldn't see the tears gathering in his eyes. Of course you saw them.

“Hey.” You gently put a hand on his cheek and gently pushed his head up so that he had to look at you. There was nothing but affection in your face for the young detective. “You're my closest friend. Of course I would take the bullet for you. And I'd do it again every time. Because you're important to me.”

Your eyes lingered on each other and your face was so close to his that he could have counted your eyelashes and he was sure you could feel the warmth radiating from his blushing cheeks.

He blamed what happened next on the stress and anxiety of that night, on his tiredness and months of longing, hence why he couldn't stop the words that tumbled from his mouth.

“I love you.”

You blinked, puzzled, and Saguru would have loved to pull his face back in shame, but you didn't allow it. “Okay? I mean, we're friends, you should-” “No,” Saguru interrupted you and rubbed his forehead. He hadn't intended to confess his feelings to you, especially not in this way, but it was too late and he had to make do with what the situation gave him, no matter how much he disliked it.

“I don't mean platonically. I don't love you like a best friend or a partner in crime.” He straightened up and looked as deeply and honestly into his eyes as he could. “I love you in a deeper way. You're the anchor when I doubt myself and feel like I'm drowning. You've always been there for me, always supported me and accepted me for who I am. You never blamed me for anything, you never had any expectations of me. You simply took me as I was. And that's just one of the few reasons why I love you. But I do, more than I probably should. I can't change it, though.” He guided your hand, which was still in his, to his chest, directly over his heart. “My heart beats for you and only for you. And when I saw you lying on the floor today, covered in blood, I had the feeling that it would never beat again. So please, my darling, please, don't ever do this to me again.”

Gently, he lifted your hand to his lips and pressed a kiss to the back of your hand. “I love you. You can send me away, ignore me and hate me, but it won't change anything.” The blood had rushed to your cheeks during his confession and you gazed at him from wide, shimmering eyes.

“Saguru-kun.”

It was the first time you used his first name and he let out a gasp, too surprised by your words that he didn't realize you had come closer until you gently brought his head to yours and pressed your lips to his. It was a short, almost chaste kiss, but Saguru had the feeling that his head was short-circuiting. You smiled at him and ran your hand lovingly through his hair.

“That was incredibly cheesy.” A smile slowly spread across his lips and he placed his hand against your cheek, gently stroking your skin with his thumb. “If this is the reward for being cheesy, you're in for a treat.” You leaned into his hand, your eyes closed. “I think I can live with that.”

おかえりなさい…

Kaiao moments that I like the most (part 1)

1. BLACK STAR

In the chapter "Black Star", it can be seen that because of Aoko, Kaito is not afraid of danger to protect both of their memories, and just to see her smile.

I really like the detail that Kaito immediately went looking for Aoko after successfully protecting the clock tower, even though he had a hard time escaping from Shinichi. Even so, he still found Aoko and once again created a memorable moment when they both grew up. It's still the place where the two met when they were young, it's still that line with the blue rose, all for Aoko.

"Hello, I'm Kuroba Kaito, nice to meet you."

2.SUN HALO

When talking about Kaiao, I cannot mention this extremely romantic chapter. Kaiao's thoughts, actions, and feelings for each other are shown very clearly in this chapter.

First of all,I have to talk about Kaito and his obsession with Aoko :)))) Even though he is afraid of fish, he is still confident that he will take Aoko to the place she likes, including the AQUARIUM (Oh, I will laugh out loud if Aoko is really at the end of the chapter saying she wants to go to the aquarium :))) ) It's true that Kaito fixes motors for KID's missions, but there is one exception where he uses his motor, which is to carry Aoko everywhere she wants to go for free (It's so cute because Kaito always thinks about Aoko almost anytime, anywhere. )

Next, one thing about Kaito that I really like is the way he doesn't hesitate to use his body to protect Aoko, not letting a piece of glass cut into her body or the way he uses his hand to lift her head from colliding with the floor. Even when he laid Aoko down, he lifted Aoko's head very gently and called her sleeping beauty

(From the moment Aoko fell, Kaito did not care about the danger and used his body to shield Aoko, he even used his hand to support her head until he laid her down 🥹)

And finally Aoko, she can RECOGNIZE Kaito through the smell of his sweat and breath. We have to understand a person well enough to be able to do what Aoko does. Like the lyrics of their song

“I am sure i know you more than anyone else ”

Maybe Aoko hasn't realized whether she likes Kaito or not, but from that, Aoko should be proud because this is hard for anyone to do and Kaito would certainly be happy to the end if he knew this. :))))

P/S: I also like the author's metaphor "Aoko's smile is like the sun's halo" as the title of this chapter .

Hello! 💕

Can I request the Detective Conan fluffy headcanons about Fluff relationship with their shy!female!reader for Shinichi Kudo, Kaito Kuroba/Kaito Kid and Heiji Hattori (separately)? Hint#1: She knows Conan is Shinichi Kudo. Hint#2: She knows Kaito Kid is Kaito Kuroba and she helps him in Kaito Kid situations. Please??

- D c m k boys headcanons

with Shy!Fem!reader -

CHARACTERS: Kudo Shinichi, Hattori Heiji and Kuroba Kaito x reader (separately)

WARNINGS: May be OOC(out of character), can be sort of off topic, could have a little spoilers for Detective Conan/Magic Kaito.

A/n: Sorry if this was not really that good TvT I never really written headcanons in the past so this is sort of my first attempt at it, also I might've write shy in a not really accurate way so, sorry if I do write it like that qwq

- S h i n i c h i K u d o -

- He sometimes was the one who do the talking for you if you two we're in public, he knows you talk just fine, but he'll do it when he sees/figure out you we're not feeling like talking at the moment, whether as Conan or Shinichi.

- He likes it when you hold his hand/sleeve when you're nervous, since in his perspective, it shows that you trust him enough to come to him for reassurance. But if he's in Conan form, most of the time he's the one who initiate the hand holding first, bcs of the height difference you two have. And also bcs sometimes you're too shy to ask if you can hold his hand.

- If he was back to Shinichi for a certain time, and he was not busy at the moment, he wants to smother you with hugs and cuddles. But he'll be debating with himself on whether to do it or not since he doesn't want to make you uncomfortable. Either way it always ends with you two snuggling up in his house, or reading a book together in his library, basking in each other's presence.

- When he knows what is your favorite subject, he'll bring that up almost any time so that he can see you rambling abt it. He loves how passionate and free you look when speaking abt it. When you realize you just rambled for a while to him, and you start spilling apologies after apologies, he'll sometime respond to it with something like

"Hey, it's fine relax. I already rambled about cases and Sherlock Holmes to you all the time, so we're even here."

-When you and Shinichi go out, and have an argument like how you kept insisting on paying the bill, he already knows how to win/end the argument right away. But he sometime stretch it up so that it'll go for a while, since he likes to see you all flustered, struggling to come up with an argument against his point.

- H e i j i H a t t o r i -

- Similar to Shinichi, Heiji will also do the talking for you. Though he will ask you if you want him to do the talking or not since he doesn't want to assume things.

- He knows Osaka like the back of his hand, and combined by the things he learn abt you overtime, he will be the perfect person to go to if you're bored. He knows your preferences on places, like how you prefer places that are less crowded, and he is more than happy to take you out to refresh with his motorcycle when he's free.

- When he has a Kendo tournament, he never forgets to ask you if you want to go see it. And if you agree to his idea, he will wave towards your direction if he wins the tournament, which sometime gets some people looking at your directions, making it a happy yet awkward situation.

- He buys you a matching hat like the one he wears, and whenever you get too embarrassed to face him, you have a habit of pulling the hat down to cover your face and spilling apologies to him. And bcs of this, he also has a habit of pulling the hat away, and then flicking your forehead(not too hard) while telling you something like

"You idiot, You've done nothing wrong here, so no need to be all embarrassed about it, okay?"

- This is pretty random, but I feel like if you we're being all blushy and flustered because of him, he'll also boop your nose or ruffle your hair to snap you out of your flustered trance, another reason he did it is because he just can't resist how adorable you're being.

- K a i t o K u r o b a -

- Will tease/flirt with you unpredictably, but won't go overboard with it. He just think it's adorable when you're caught off guard, all flustered and struggling to come up with an answer.

- He sometime does this thing where he shows you a magic trick, and when you're all impressed and flabbergasted, he revealed the trick behind it. The tricks he use are often pretty simple so he'll tease you by saying you're dumb for not figuring it out, so that he can see your little flushed face.

- If you do something out of your usual shy character in the relationship, like kissing him out of the blue, or hugging him without asking, he will say something like

"Oh? Is my dear Y/n chan started getting bolder recently?~"

And will never stop teasing you abt it for the whole day. But deep down, he's actually melting from how cute your attempts on giving him affection is.

- When you asked him if you can help with his Kaito Kid business, he won't allow you to help him when he's in action, since he doesn't want to drag you to danger. Usually you'll help with something less dangerous like preparing his costume and things behind the scenes, or taking care of him if he's injured.

- You two have a soft-serious moment when you we're tending to his wounds, you're worried for his condition and usually lightly scolds him for his reckless actions. But he always manage to remove the seriousness in the air by pecking you at the lips so that's you'll get flustered, or just messing with you in general.

[pinktie]

This is less a question and more something I wanted your thoughts on. But I love how in DC , Conan is the main detective against Kaito Kid and the one he regularly interacts with.

But in Magic Kaito we already have Hakuba who usually doesn't get to interact with Kid too much because Kaito is literally trying to keep him away from heists, but does get to annoy the hell out of Kuroba constantly.

It's kinda worse is fanon due to shipping, coz Kudo x Kaito is always about Kaito Kid and heists while Hakuba x Kaito is usually about both Kid and Kurobara Kaito.

What do you think of them???

I used to think that Shinkai is Sagukai but spicier. Like, they're similar, but Kaishin has more moments and violent fights (bonus if you like the cousins part).

But it would be fun to interpret that the reason why Kaito is distant from Hakuba was because he hates being figured out too early. It's not fun if the detective already knows who he is before the heist starts. Once he was figured out, he couldn't continue the heist, so he tried to keep Hakuba away so that he could finish the job.

Meanwhile, Shinichi is taking his sweet time with the riddle and figuring out his tricks.

Or if you see it in an angsty angle, Hakuba is getting too close to figuring out his motives. Kaito's become KID is for his dad. He steals and lies for him. On their first meeting, Hakuba just casually asked him what it was all for. And now he's in his school. This makes Kaito uncomfortable because he's too close. So he prefer if they see each other less.

Maybe Shinichi is curious too, but he doesn't ask questions. And maybe that's why Kaito appreciates him more.

Shinichi chases him to the roofs where he could fly. Saguru walks him to a wall.

[leonawriter]

Childhood friends AU except it's that future Superintendent general Hakuba takes his son to Kuroba Toichi's magic show one day when Saguru is still very small.

Saguru promptly proceeds to gush about how he wants to figure out how the tricks work, and pisses off Kaito, who sees it as this weird kid trying to poke holes in his dad's magic and his dad's magic is PERFECT AND THE BEST, DUMB HAKUBA-

In the present day it takes a while for them to remember, and then they both have a Moment, because "It was YOU?!"
