Kid was standing beside him, cape billowing in the wind. Saguru's eyes burned, the other male looked exactly like Kid, but he wasn't his Kid. He'd already had to stop himself from calling Shinichi Kaito multiple times after the sleuth had managed to copy the thief's unique hairstyle and donned the outfit.

"So the heist is going to start soon..." There was concern in Shinichi's tone as he eyed the museum, suddenly feeling like he wasn't up to the task. Just how had the magician managed to do well enough in the start to not get caught? His admiration for Kaito's talent was still growing even after the magician had died.

Saguru nodded, not bothering to attempt to ease the other's concern "I'm going to join the rest of the force, don't get caught" He wasn't feeling the familiar motivation that usually came with a Kid heist. He'd just say that he wasn't feeling well if anyone questions his lack of enthusiasm.

The blond held back a grimace as he spotted a flash of white between the holes in the air vents. The sleuth was lucky that the Kaitou Kid task force didn't have the most observant of people, Saguru was actually sorely tempted to call the other out, just to see the guy squirm under the pressure. Shinichi made a horrible phantom thief, the only thing he had going for him was that he had both a similar appearance and voice to Kaito.

Smoke filled the room, obscuring everyone's vision so that the blond could easily knock the glass case off the target, allowing the sleuth's claw shot to reach out and grab the gem. It was different than a hook shot since it latched onto things with claws, almost similar to a few of the grappling gun prototypes in the Kid workshop. With his own part in the heist complete, Saguru escaped the frantic room in favour of the hallway. He was in no mood to be trampled tonight.

Shinichi's heart was pounding, adrenaline coursing through his veins as he shimmied through the vents, thankful that Ginzo's yelling was masking each and every noise he made whenever he hit the sides of the vent. He'd always thought that crawling through vents would be a piece of cake! He was wrong, so horribly wrong. There was barely enough room for him to make his way through them, yet Kaito had somehow managed to learn how to do it silently? Just how had the magician managed to get both himself, and a bunch of his crazy tools through the vents?

Kid had hit this very same museum many times in the past, so it wasn't just the vents in this place that were the problem. He could actually see the most travelled paths that the other had taken based on dust and cobweb accumulation. The sleuth grimaced, if he did end up getting lost, at least he knew that he could just follow the routes with the least dust and avoid the completely dusty ones right?

"We should have had you practice moving through vents before attempting this heist" Saguru breathed a few moments before the sleuth popped his head out of the designated vent. The other was covered in dust due to a few wrong turns, though it was honestly surprising that Shinichi had exited from the right vent in the first place "If not for Nakamori-Keibu, you probably would have been caught in no time"

Shinichi frowned, slipping, more like tumbling out and onto the floor. He stood up and brushed himself off, shoulders slumped "Yeah, I realized that" He bit his lip, feeling awkward "I guess I severely underestimated Kuroba's skill level" He absently wondered what else had he just assumed was a simple trick would turn out to be actually more complicated than expected.

Gold burned as he turned away from the other "Nobody will ever be able to truly tell just how talented and amazing Kaito was" He did so many things with such ease that it often made most people underestimate the actual amount of skill that was required for most things he did. Kaito's easygoing outwards personality didn't help much with the assumptions either "Give me the gem so I can return it" He held out his hand, closing it when he felt the familiar weight of a gem. He kept his gaze away as the obviously uneasy sleuth changed into some normal clothing after handing over the gem. Shinichi wasn't skilled enough to change in the vents like Kaito was, or magically appear in different clothing.

Now that he was alone, away from any possible prying eyes, Shinichi allowed himself to sink to the ground of his bedroom. He felt sick, like the worst kind of scum in the world. He hadn't mentioned anything, but he'd seen the way Saguru had occasionally looked at him last night. Those golden eyes had been filled with love, adoration, like he'd hung the moon for him before swiftly hardening.

He hadn't even really thought about how hard it would be for Saguru to work with him, to see him dressed as Kid. Kaito's death was still relatively fresh in everyone's mind, so of course the other would have moments where he forgot that Shinichi wasn't Kaito, especially when he was copying Kaito's appearance.

Shinichi swallowed, Saguru hadn't just been crushing on Kaito, there was no way in hell that he was. The blond had been in love with the magician, there was no doubt in his mind about it. The guy was so strong, allowing his love's killer to go free and impersonate him, even if it was unrequited... The sleuth's face lost a few more shades of colour at a sudden thought, hadn't the blond informed him that Kaito had been crushing on him?...

Oh fuck, shaky hands clasped over his mouth as he willed himself not to give into the churning of his stomach and throw up. Azure burned, this situation was so messed up, how was Saguru holding together so well? Especially while working with him? He couldn't believe how mature and strong Saguru was.

It made him feel like a monster in comparison.

Me: Some more angst and cold Saguru~ But I sure don't blame him for being cold towards Shinichi

•~• I'm enjoying picking on the detectives, hurting them both at the same time but in different ways

Hope you enjoyed~
