*Meitantei: Master detective Cold and hot. He was feeling both at the same time. Ughhh why did he have to get sick right before one of KID's heists. Shinichi had woken up this morning feeling terrible. Well actually in the evening, but back then it had only been a little headache, now it was a headache with a fever of 40 degrees and coughing attacks. Well, his plan was to quickly go to KID's "show" and then go home to bed, luckily it was the weekend and there were no cases at the moment. And there's no one at home to look after him anyway, it doesn't matter, he was used to it. Now back to the present, into the arms of KID, wait what, how the hell did that happen?!
10 p.m. in a museum with the KID force, KID and Shinichi.
Kaitou made his grand entrance as always and then fled to the rooftop. Shinichi tried to follow him but his vision kept getting blurry and he was sweating and coughing heavily.
Kaitos Pov:
Meitantei was kind of weird. Today it was far too easy, he didn't put in any real effort and was barely able to concentrate. Maybe another trap or something. Haaaa this isn't any fun.
KID checked the diamond, which was NOT pandora, and waited for his favorite detective. Who than came staggering through the door.
Kaitos Pov:
My eyes widened as I saw Meitantei staggering through the door. He was pale and sweaty. His eyes seemed unfocused. "Meitantei..."?
Author/reader Pov:
Shinichi looked at Kid and tried with all his might to stay on his feet and run to Kid. "K...kid hah I...got you". And after the words he had a violent coughing fit and fell forward. But before he even got close to the ground, two strong arms caught him. Kid's arms. "Shinichi"! Kid shouted worriedly. But Shinichi had already passed out.
Kaitos Pov:
Oh man, what do I do now? He just passed out. I can't leave him here and I agh...okay poker face. Concentrate. I don‘t have a lot of time.
After some thinking and checking Shinichis forehead Kaito decided to take Shinichi to his own house, since he only seems to have a bad cold.

After a lot of maneuvering and ✨magic✨ Kaito was finally in front of Shinichis house, carrying the detective bridal style through the door. Inside Kaito looks cautiously around but finds nothing suspicious. He brings Shinichi to his bedroom. There he changes Shinichis clothes to comfortable sleep clothes and tucks him into his bed.
Now Kaito had a problem. What was he supposed to do?
No one was home and Kaito should go but that’s the problem. No ones there, so he can‘t leave his detective alone. Still maybe leaving was better?
So Kaito got ready to go but suddenly a hand weakly gripped his wrist.
A little startled Kaito looked at Shinichi.
And the sight, oh it was…..
Barely open eyes, flushed cheeks, sweaty and messy hair with a begging face where looking at him.
„Pl..please don‘t…leave“. Shinichi whispered.
How….How could he say no to that?
Kaito sighed already accepting his fate.
„Okay detective I won‘t. I‘ll stay till your better“.
Shinichi seemed to relax at that and fell asleep again.
Kaito really took care of him like he promised. He got medicine, made soup wich he fed to the detective, helped him get changed and changed the sheets when Shinichi was sweating to much.
He cooled his forehead and stayed. He stayed the whole night. In between he changed his own outfit to more comfortable clothes, only leaving the monocle on.
It wasn‘t like it really mattered anymore.
Kaito was pretty sure that Shinichi already figured out who he was, a few months ago and still….Shinichi hadn‘t really caught him wich gave Kaito hope for a relationship deep „friendship“ someday.
Anyway, Kaito was up the whole night and the next day Shinichis fever was down to 38, wich was almost pretty normal again. Shinichi slowly started to get out of his delirium to. Insisting with a red face that Kaito should go now.
„Awww meitantei, are you that embarrassed. I already miss your clinchy self“. „Baka“ Shinichi threw a pillow at his face. Ofcourse Kaito steped to the side fast enough not to get hit.
„Ah common Shinichi~ that‘s not a nice way to say thank you. How about a thank you kiss~“ it was only ment as a joke (still I hope for a real kiss) but Shinichi quickly gave a peek to his cheek.
And Kaito? Kaito was so stunned he didn‘t know what to do. So he just stared.
„Thank you“ Shinichi said with red cheeks. After a few seconds Kaito broke out in a big grin
„Anything for my darling detective“ Kaito said with a wink before disappearing.
Leaving behind only a rose and a note with a number and the message: if you need anything call me. Hope your to your full health again soon.
After all my heists wouldn‘t be the same without you.

2 weeks later there was an invantation and a rose on Shinichis doorstep. And when he went and it just might have been a date, well that….is just between Shinichi and Kaito.
And us of course ;)
