#ofc i had to make this somehow related to kaishin

[shinischis]

so I had a little thought about kaito absolutely despising coffee, especially if it's straight black, without milk or cream or anything. he doesn't like the smell of fresh coffee beans and that's what makes him not like visiting cafés most of the time.

he likes nicer, sweeter scents, like vanilla, chocolate or caramel, he's even fine with peppermint.

he only starts tolerating the smell of coffee after meeting shinichi, the moment they're up close the smell of coffee just attacks him, it's like a scent that's attached to shinichi and he starts associating it to him.

he's so hopelessly in love that he starts loving the scent, he'd never drink straight black coffee like shinichi does, but as soon as he smells it, he just knows shinichi is near by.

it grows onto him as a comfort scent and even buys coffee beans to keep in his kitchen, not to drink, but to remind him for shinichi when they can't see one another for long periods of time.

i hc that kaito uses vanilla scented products, like his shampoo or shower gel. which in return shinichi grows to be fond of and buys a vanilla scented candle to remind him of the other.
