"Ahem!" the voice of the waitress standing behind them awkwardly called out. She could smell some tense environment so she wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. "Your order, sir" then she looked at Shinichi and said, "uh sir if this is your friend, would you like me to bring your order here as well?"

Kaito was about to object but Shinichi cut him off saying "Yea, why not I guess?" Shit. This meant that Shinichi was either going to confront him about being Kid or just going to give a lame excuse and half-assed explanation of why he was staring at him like that which would probably make a normal person leave thinking he was some freaky kid.

"Um, do you have any business with me?" Kaito asked as Shinichi sat down opposite to him.

"I know your Kid. You can drop the act now" Shinichi deadpanned.

Kaito's whole body language seemed to change at those words, going from acting like a confused person to the person who wears the monocle and a top hat in white flashy clothes while being chased by the police. "Ooh~ my my meitantei always so smart and straight to the point ne~?" Kid practically purred the last word in his honey sweet voice. "So what brings you here cuz I'm pretty sure you're not the type of person to check out random sleeping people but if you don't have a nice excuse, then again I guess I would be wrong, right?" Shit. Kid has a point.

"Well this might sound really stupid or you might think that I'm stressing myself out way too much which I'm NOT, but..."

"But...?" repeated Kid as he made movements with his hands for the sleuth to go on.

"I was just making sure you weren't deadorsomething" The last three words were said in a hurry as the sleuth ducked his head and squeezed his eyes shut to not see the thief's expression but all he got in return was a confused "Eh?", just as the waitress put the sleuth's order on the table. "What do you mean just Eh?" He could literally smell the confusion coming of the thief so he decided to explain to him why he was acting like some creepy rapist stalker.

Shinichi sighed as he took a sip from his coffee. Might as well explain it ,he thought as he began, "Well, you see, I've been running into a lot of murders lately,... more than before and I just finished chasing one down before entering this place and... I'm just really tired and then I saw you with your head down and you can guess what came to my mind so I came to check... "

"sluuuuuuuuuuurrrrrppppppppppp" a long slurp was what he got in response and a an understanding hmm. "Well, it makes sense. Maybe you should try getting some actual sleep like normal people, you know" Kaito replied after the long sip from his chocolate shake.

"...maybe I should" Shinichi sighed then he started on his sandwich. "Well, what about you? What are you doing here?"

"Um, I guess you could say that I needed to escape some things or someone back home..." Kaito trailed off. Then he took a big bite from his sandwich and just shrugged.

"Which someone or something is this?"

"Ooh, aren't you curious? Well, since now you know my face, you'd eventually find out my name too so might as tell you" Shinichi perked up at this and looked at the thief like he'd just said that something like warm water can become lava. "Kuroba Kaito, magician extraordinaire. Nice to meet you" he introduced as he produced a blue rose. The sleuth took the offered rose as he replied, "Kudou Shinichi, detective. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." There was a pleasant silence as Kaito gave him a bright closed eye smile.

'Kaito huh?... I like the sound of that' the sleuth thought as he twirled the offered rose in his hand and looked up at Kaito's smiling face. 'Cute... Wait what?! Did I just think he's cute?! No way because there's no way I have a crush on him! One,  because he's a boy and two, because he's literally the Kaitou Kid and I'm a detective! I'm supposed to catch him!' yea, catch him and make him mine, a traitor part of his brain said. His face heated up at his own thoughts.

"Hey... Kaito" he said as he tested the name on his tongue, "Why is... your name Kaito? I mean, the irony of it is just... " the sleuth trailed off on his words but he knew the other got what he meant if the following chuckle was something to go by.

"Well, let's just say my parents had a sense of humour" he said as he took another few bites of his sandwich. The sleuth ate his own sandwich as well and a comfortable silence settled between them while they ate lunch, the only sounds being their eating and occasionally sipping of their drinks, the cars that passed by and the occasional sounds of the few people in the cafe-restaurant they were seated in.

"So, are you going to the heist tonight?"

"Hmm, might as well. It's not like I have something to do tonight so why not?"

"Well then, KID-sama must be looking forward to the chase. Let's see if you can come close to catching the Kaitou KID"

Shinichi raised an eyebrow at that. "Oh really? I will catch him tonight then. Send a few super powered soccerballs to the face for some fun, you know, a good 'ol chase." He smirked at the way Kaito had winced at the name of 'superpowered soccerballs'. The wince was small but, he'd noticed anyway.

"Gee, you know those could really hurt someone one day" Kaito said in a matter-of-factly tone of voice.

"Oh, I hope so!" Another small wince. Shinichi was having trouble not doubleing over laughing right now. Kaito face turned from a frown to a pout, having obviously noticed what the sleuth was doing.

"You know what? If you're going to be such a meanie then, then-

"Then what?" Shinichi mocked.

 "Then, I'm not going to talk to you!" Shinichi sweatdropped at the threat. Was the person underneath the monocle really that childish? Judging from the pout on the other's face and the mischeivousness in his eyes, he got his answer that yes, yes he totally is that childish. Shinichi smirked. Two can play that game.

"Oh well! I guess then it will be like that then!" His smirk widened seeing Kaio's face still like that then suddenly change to blank.

"What? No! You don't just say that when someone says that! You're supposed to make them feel better!"

"Oh? Then how do I do that? Make them feel better, that is?" Shinichi was probably having too much fun with this, but oh well! The way Kaito's face morphed from anger to blank to upset and pouty so smoothly was interesting. Kaito made a noise not unlike a strangled kitten at the back of his throat. 

"You comfort people by... comforting them! I mean, when they are angry you support them, agree with them or side with them! You know!" Kaito said while flailing his arms in a way to try to make Shinichi understand. Shinichi did understand, understand that the magician either didn't know himself where he wanted to go with this or just forgot trying to make him understand. He didn't himself realise how dorkily he was smiling until the magician stopped and just stared at him, a little pink. Shinichi wanted to slap his own cheeks for that, the other probably thought he was weird. Kaito stopped making demostrating with his flailing arms and crossed his arms, one hand covering his face. Wait, he was blushing. Oh... Probably because of embarrasing himself like that in public and in front of his rival? Ally? Companion? Friend? Friend. Shinchi decided.

Shinichi smirked. "Are you embarrassed?" Shinichi made sure to purr the last word.

"What?! No! Why would I be embarrassed?!"

"Hmm. Pretty sure you are. I mean, that's what an embarrassed person would say, right?" Shinichi was right. He was embarrassed. A lot. Oh, He'll get his revenge tonight, just wait!

"...You better watch your back tonight, tantei-kun" Kaito grumbled then slapped his money on the table and left... to prepare. 

"H-hey! Come on, I was just teasing you! Don't tell me that embarrassed you again!" He said laughing a little at the end. Wrong move, tantei-kun. Wrong move. Kaito turned back with a scarily monotone face, darkened eyes with mischeif and revenge swimming in them and  said, "Hey, Tantei-kun... make sure you come to tonight's heist, K?" He cocked his head to the side at the last word, waiting for an answer. Shinichi was sure he'll regret it later but he already poked the sleeping bear with a stick, time to suffer the consequences. The sleuth gulped and hesistantly nodded when he realised that he hadn't answered. Kaito nodded and walked away. 

'Dear God and lady luck,

If I die tonight it's my fault for poking the bear but your fault for not helping me which you have never done. So please, just for this once at least let me have a friendship with KID if somehow, by the end of he doesn't hate me or I don't hate him or you just hate me really bad.

- Shinichi'

He clapped his hands together as he wished and finished his coffee. He should probably go visit a shrine today. Hopefully he won't encounter a murder again, there or on the way there or when he's returning. 'Guess life really does hate me, huh?'
