Chapter Text
Kaitou KID had successfully stolen a sapphire jewel necklace, a really beautiful one tonight.
He obviously had gotten the challenge from Suzuki Jirokichi and of course, being the gentleman he was, had accepted the challenge. The crowd was shouting KID’s name and some of the taskforce already got into the thief’s traps. Nakamori and the remaining of his subordinates were chasing after KID’s dummy which was ridiculous because they never learned their lessons.
And no, that wasn’t Shinichi’s problem.
The problem was when Shinichi had finally arrived and opened the door to the rooftop, his vision suddenly was blocked by colorful smoke. He let out a curse and swore to himself to kick his soccer ball with a large amount of power towards the stupid thief if he ever found his hair had changed its colour again.
But when he felt sudden chills against his legs and how he felt something heavy was put around his neck, he knew it was worse than getting his hair dyed with a variety of colors like clown’s hair.
Inhaling slowly, he looked down and oh…. His face turned slightly red and he could feel himself boiling in rage. KID’s whistling and snickering pulled him back to reality.
“As I thought! The necklace looks so pretty on you. The dress fits you perfectly too. I’m glad the money I spent was worth it.”
Shinichi just glared at the laughing thief in front of him, internally wanting to strangle him but couldn't since he was a detective and not a murderer. Besides, the thief had taken his watch and belt too, leaving him only his power-up shoes. Inhaling and trying his best to control the urge to kick the thief, he made up his mind.
Attacking emotionally was the best option right now.
.
“You know.”
KID stopped laughing and jumped onto the rails of the edge of the rooftop urgently when he felt a really, really dark aura from the detective. The glare the detective was giving him made him feel like thousands of sharp knives were pointed at him, ready to stab him.
"W-what is it?"
He really hoped his poker face wasn't broken yet and his face wasn't pale. The thief's breath hitched when the detective walked towards him and glared harder, if that's even possible. He tried not to take a step back at that or else he would had fallen.
Well… maybe he could just fall and fly away from the detective using his hang glider and just forget that dead glaring now. He knew that. But the detective had the I'm-not-done-with-you and you-go-you-die look. So nope. Thank you very much.
When the door suddenly opened harshly and Nakamori's loud voice echoed on the rooftop, the thief saw how the detective smiled creepily at him and slowly, his lips moved like he was talking.
I'll hunt you in your dream with my soccer ball.
…. was the only thing KID could figure out from reading the lips before he took a step back and fell down from the edge.
.
Ginzou watched KID slowly fading in the sky while gritting his teeth. He gripped harder at the rails then turned to the teenage detective who hadn’t stopped the thief, wanting to knock some sense into the boy.
“You!!!! Why didn’t you stop–”
Trailing off, he finally took a proper look at Kudou. Ginzou blinked and raised his eyebrow at Kudou while the teen looked at him back with a bored look.
Some of his task force was surprised when they saw the Heisei Holmes in a blue dress and this night's target was on his neck. Others gave him pitying looks.
“What happened?”
Kudou just shrugged like he was okay with whatever was happening right now.
“That jerk put these on me. Anyhow, can someone open the necklace for me and does anyone have spare clothes?”
One of his task force members helped Kudou and three of them told Kudou they did have spare clothes, probably to change if the thief suddenly covered them in slime.
Ginzou watched the detective and frowned. For a guy who had been put in dress, he looked so calm like he wasn’t mad at KID.
.
It was so embarrassing to be put in a dress especially when it barely covered his knees. Shinichi would have been blushing so hard when KID was laughing at him or when the task force was looking at him.
However, that didn’t happen.
Shinichi had been too mad at the stupid thief until he had forgotten how embarassing his situation was tonight. Plus, after he gave some words to the moonlight thief, he kind of felt satisfied, knowing he wasn’t the only one who was suffering tonight. Thus, that’s the reason he didn't care much about Nakamori’s and his people’s reaction because he was too absorbed with the idea of KID having nightmares about him.
Now, here he was opening his house door and walked into the house. He yawned.
“I’m back.”
“Welcome back.”
Shinichi smiled at the voice and the sight. Miyano Shiho was sitting in the middle of a couch while watching some show related to chemistry and biology. She was squeezed by three sleeping kids, one on her right and another two on her left.
She then looked at him and that was the second time someone looked at him like he was an idiot that night.
Shiho snorted.
“Why are you wearing that baggy suit? I thought you were wearing your stupid blue suit again?”
He sighed and slumped on the side of the couch, putting a small gap between him and Ayumi. He didn’t want to wake her or the others up.
“KID put me in a dress.”
“Are you serious?”
Shiho laughed and Shinichi felt annoyed.
“Stop laughing already.”
Shinichi tried his best to control his voice and Shiho grinned.
“You’re blushing.”
She teased him and he groaned.
Shinichi suddenly could feel his face become hotter probably because his anger had eased down and he didn’t care about the thief anymore. That made his just now embarrassment come back to him and hit him hard. Having Shiho over wasn’t helping with anything, it just became worse.
“Better take a bath than sit here while you tease me.”
He stood up and Shiho snickered.
“Sure sure! I’ll put them in your room.”
Shinichi just hummed.
.
“Here are your suit and your gadgets.”
Shiho shoved his stolen suit and gadgets once he had opened his room door. He frowned.
“Did he come by?”
“Yeah.”
Knowing the other was worried, Shiho continued.
“Don’t worry. They were sleeping soundly when he came.”
He just nodded.
“Did he say anything to you?”
“No. He just asked me to pass this on to you. He did look pale knowing you’re back though.”
He blinked then smirked and she let that slide because she didn’t want to know whatever had happened between them. But knowing Shinichi, Shiho was sure he had done something to traumatize the thief.
“Well, I guess I’ll be going now.”
Shiho said and opened the door when Shinichi was busy putting his stuff.
“Alright. Thanks for taking care of them, Shiho. Safe walk and goodnight.”
“Yeah I know. Goodnight too, Shinichi.”
Letting the door fall closed, he sat on the bed and looked at the sleeping kids.
“Goodnight, guys.”
A smile made it’s way across his face. He then laid down a futon on the floor and took the extra pillows. As soon as he put his head down, his phone vibrated. Knowing the sender, he opened with a satisfied smile.
KUROBA KAITO
I'm sorryyyyyy, detective (T⌓T)
Please forgive me (シ_ _)シ
I really want to sleep you know (╥_╥)
KUDOU SHINICHI

KUROBA KAITO
NOOOOOO SHINICHIIII (༎ຶ⌑༎ຶ)
Chuckling, Shinichi switched off his phone and let himself fall asleep. He had a dream about kicking a big soccer ball at a certain moonlight thief that night.
.
The next day, Kuroba Kaito, with a tired face, came to Shinichi’s house to have breakfast with him and the kids. Seeing that, Shinichi couldn’t help but snicker internally. The amusement became better when the kids tried to ask what had happened to the other university student.
