Work Text:
Kaito wasn't the type of person to fall in love so easily. Until he met Shinichi, of course.
It was yesterday when it happened. He was walking down the hallway as he strides to the school infirmary to 'take medicines because he's sick' at least that's what he told his teacher as he cried dramatically.
But in all honesty, he just wanted some peace. He wanted a good rest from everyone.
'The lessons are so boring! My genius brain doesn't need to stress any further!'
He huffed to himself as he opened the door. whoosh! A strong gust of wind blew into the room, causing dust to float around. It didn't take long for him to notice someone was there.
'Am I in heaven? What's a beautiful angel doing here!?' He cupped his flushing face while trying to keep on his poker face. 'Poker face! Poker face! WAH!'
He looked around only to find that the school nurse was gone(maybe to get more bandages in the storage room or something).
Kaito then awkwardly walked to the bed beside the beautiful angel while he tried to calm his heart. He started observing the beautiful angel.
The angel was sleeping peacefully and it appears that they are injured in their foot since there was a bandage covering it. There was a cast on the right ankle as well as another one on the left knee. They were wearing white shirts and gray sweatpants which was weird seeing as it was the middle of the hot summer.
He then noticed the soft curls in front of him and it was almost enough to send him into cardiac arrest.
'Oh shit, I wanna marry this angel. I-I mean, we could buy a house downhill, right? We can live there together and maybe adopt some doves or maybe ch-children?' Kaito gulped loudly.
He can feel his heart pounding against his chest with every passing second. His cheeks flushed again as he realized he has been staring for quite some time now.
His eyes snapped back to the other person who seemed to have awoken. A tired look filled their features and they groaned at the sudden light. Their hand reached up to rub their eye before they finally sat up. The angel looks at Kaito who is still frozen in shock and gave an apologetic smile before speaking.
"Umm...hi," they spoke gently and Kaito couldn't help but blush even harder. He quickly composed himself.
"WOW! YOU ARE SO ADORABLE!" Kaito blurted out and immediately covered his mouth.
He mentally cursed himself. Why did he say that?! Why did he just say that?! Kaito watched as the other boy blushed and turned away slightly. Kaito couldn't help but notice how his sapphire eyes are even more apparent due to the light.
"Tha..." The beautiful stranger said softly. They cleared their throat before continuing, "Thank you."
Kaito smiled before replying, "No problem, sweetheart~"
"Do you need anything?" Kaito asked, looking at the other boy curiously.
The shorter boy shook his head. "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern though..."
Then came silence. They looked at each other awkwardly, unable to spit out words.
"Uhh... what happened to your foot by the way?" Kaito asked the boy.
"Oh, my foot? Well, it's just uh, soccer, and yeah."
"Oh. You hurt your foot during soccer?"
"Mhm."
Silence came again. And Kaito felt the urge to talk, anything, but his mouth suddenly got very dry and he couldn't bring himself to do anything else except stare at the beautiful stranger.
Suddenly, the boy broke the silence by getting out of bed. "Well, I'm sorry if I bothered you-"
"No!" Kaito panicked. "I mean...you can stay if you want! Stay and chat! Talk! Whatever! Just...please stay."
The angel looked surprised. Kaito's face began to turn red and he could swear he could see steam coming off his ears.
"...You really need someone to talk to, huh?"
"Ye-Yeah..?"
"Why's that a question?"
"Yes."
Silence. This time, it's even more awkward.
"So," Kaito spoke up after breaking the silence once again. "What's your name?"
The angel blinked a few times before responding
"Shinichi Kudou," He replied. "And yours?"
"Kaito Kuroba," Kaito responded. "But call me Kaito, Shin-chan."
"Shin-chan!?" Shinichi, eyes wide, blushed at him.
"Oh, yeah! If you're not okay with it, I could, you know, uh stop?"
"It's alright... I guess?" They stared at each other for a few more minutes until the door opening interrupted them.
"Kudou-kun, here's more bandages for you—oh? Kuroba-kun, again. What's your reason this time?" The school nurse looked at Kaito cross-eyed.
"Uh, hey Ms. Nurse. I'm sick, you see, but it's gone now! haha..." He didn't even come up with a good excuse! Dammit!
"Oh... okay. Then get out. You look fine anyways, maybe this is one of your tactics to skip school."
"Wait! But Ms. Nurse–"
"Not repeating." Kaito pouted as he quietly and sadly went to the exit. He looked at Shinichi one last time, the angel was indeed laughing at him.
'Ms. Nurse! You're now on one of my list of least favorite people!'
---
A few days later, it had already become routine in which Kaito would show up at Shinichi's classroom to visit Shinichi every day.
They'd go through simple topics such as their hobbies, likes, dreams, and interests. And of course, the questions about themselves.
Kaito was very happy to talk to his now crush all the time, which made his daily pranks slightly decrease(his classmates were happy as well).
THE END.
