A heavy weight against his shoulder brought Saguru's attention away from his book "What are you doing?" The blond breathed, eyeing Kaito incredulously. He'd been sitting in one of his armchairs to read, but now the magician was somehow sprawled on the armrest and headrest like a cat.

Kaito grinned, allowing himself to fall enough that the back of his head was touching the armrest opposite to the one his feet were on "Nothing" Indigos were gleaming "Just hanging around"

Saguru snorted "Well stop, you're going to weaken the chair if you keep doing things like that" He was pretty sure that the chair wasn't made to be used how Kaito was using it.

The magician gave a small pout but allowed himself to slink to the ground, he then popped his head up so that his chin was resting on the armrest "Saguru, I just realized something recently and I don't know what to do" His tone was soft, almost a bit wary.

"Oh?" Saguru raised a brow "What did the great Kaito learn?"

Kaito shrunk back a bit, biting his lip "I think that I'm gay" The thought had hit him like a wall when he'd saw a certain detective and though 'Oh, he looks hot' He unfortunately knew what hitting a wall felt like, and it was definitely like that. He'd ended up fumbling the rest of the heist.

Saguru blinked "What made you think that?" He inquired, curious. He didn't want to get his hopes up too soon, just in case Kaito had been mistaken.

A blush tinted the magician's face at the question "I think I like Kudo Shinichi" His face was burning "He just-" He waved his arms around dramatically, having difficulty finding the right words "We're so in sync whenever we team up" It was exhilarating "And I always get this excited and happy feeling whenever I spot him at a heist" He wrung his hands together "And I'm pretty sure that my heart rate speeding up isn't from fear" He gave a small laugh "Anymore" The sleuth had once been a menace, but he no longer was worried about him.

Throughout the explanation, Saguru felt his heart crack little by little. It didn't sound like Kaito just had a crush, it seemed more like an infatuation at least. He made sure not to show his hurt as he responded "Didn't you say that Kudo-kun has almost gotten you blown up multiple times in the past?" Maybe he could persuade Kaito into thinking that being with the sleuth would be too dangerous, because frankly, it was.

Kaito let out a small but awkward laugh, scratching his cheek "Yeah, but that was because he trusted that I'd be okay" Shinichi had trusted in his skills, which was quite flattering to say the least. Indigos softened "He lets me escape all the time, so I really don't think that he really wants to catch me" The other probably only chased him for the challenge and thrill.

Saguru wanted to counter Kaito's words, he really did, but seeing the look on the other's face, he couldn't. His shoulders slumped as he accepted defeat, for now "From what I've observed of you during this conversation" He paused, not wanting to continue "Then I can at least affirm that you do like Kudo-kun" As much as he wanted to, he wouldn't try to ruin his friend's feelings for the sleuth. Gold glinted "But I'm not sure if he shares the sentiment" But that didn't mean that he couldn't try to win Kaito over before things got too deep.

The magician's face was still tinted a cute pink "Thank you for listening to me" He flashed a grateful smile "You're my best friend" He felt comfortable enough to share everything with the other, he couldn't do that with Aoko, not anymore "I don't know what I would have done without you"

Friend, that was at least better than a crush from afar right? Shinichi wasn't even aware of Kaito's affections yet, so for now he had the advantage. Gold softened "You'd probably be dead in a ditch somewhere without me to patch you up when Jii-san is gone" He was currently more trusted, that had to count for something, so what was he doing wrong? What did he need to change in order for Kaito to notice him as more than a friend?

Kaito gave a playful scowl "You know what I meant"

"Indeed" Saguru's smile was soft as he met Kaito's gaze. He would win Kaito over, he had tons of time thanks to the fact that Kaito was an international jewel thief. It added more risk to the situation which should hopefully make his friend more careful with his feelings.

The magician stuck his tongue out playfully "Rude" Saguru was the greatest friend that he could ever have, he kinda felt silly for being worried.

He'd been wrong, with a sniff, Saguru wiped away his tears with his sleeve. His time had run out sooner than expected, and in the worst way possible. He honestly would have preferred to watch Kaito get together with Shinichi if it meant that the other would still be here. It would have hurt dearly, but not as much as his heart hurts now.

The blond grit his teeth as he thought about the sleuth, how he hadn't had much of a reaction when he'd told the other that extent of Kaito's feelings for him. The sleuth had been sorrowful, but not heartbroken. He knew it wasn't really fair, but he hated the guy. He never deserved to be the person that Kaito fell for.

With a weary sigh, Saguru quelled his own hate. If he was to help Shinichi pull off a few heists to protect those Kaito cared about, he couldn't let his own feelings interfere too much. He wouldn't help too much, just not enough for the other to not get caught, or die. Though getting caught would be a good punishment, but unfortunately that could endanger the sleuth's friends and family. Those people were innocent, it was Shinichi who was the murderer, not them.

Me: So some more hurt and angry Saguru~ And oblivious Kaito

Poor guy...

Hope you enjoyed~

If you were to carry something heavy with someone up the stairs, would you want to be in the back or the front?

I prefer the back because I don't trust my grip strength so I just use gravity to keep my hold on heavy items XD bracing is easier for me than holding~

... warm or cold colours? I like cold ones, they go together so well >~<
