Azure blinked before softening "I'm sure it'll taste great" He was very glad that Yozora seemed to be quite comfortable around Saguru "Thanks" He eyed the soup and rice, he hadn't been warned off of solid foods so eating should be fine.

"How do you feel Shinichi" Saguru inquired, the sleuth's movements were slow, but he at least seemed to be well coordinated. Yozora perked up, she hadn't talked much with the sleuth before he'd ended up passing out.

"I want to sleep and never wake up" Shinichi sighed "I feel so tired and wrung out" Even eating was taking a lot out of him.

Yozora's brows furrowed with concern "You slept for quite a while though" Was there more to Shinichi's exhaustion than just being tired?

Shinichi nodded "Kusama said that there's nothing that can be done for me besides resting and taking in nutrients" Not unless he wanted to prolong Kaito's own recovery that is "We think that I'm suffering from some sort of magic strain due to having magic pumped through my system for so long"

"I'll see if I can have Koizumi-chan to come over and check you out then" Saguru stated, knowing that the red witch would know better than any of them "It sounds strange, but I doubt that humans are supposed to have magic affecting them for too long" Especially healing magic, that sort of magic truly interacted with the physical body.

"Wait" Yozora was confused "Is Kaito not actually human then? I thought that he was just changed a bit to be a bit extra"

The sleuth visibly grimaced at the question "The DNA is his feathers never registered as anything remotely human" None of them really liked to think about it, it was strange. Kaito was Kaito and that was what really mattered. Shinichi looked away a bit guiltily "I helped with acquiring a potion to help Kaito's biology settle" It hadn't been properly stable and had required extra supplements to remain stable. He seemed to shrink in on himself as he continued to speak "I neglected to say anything before, but the potion stabilized Kaito by changing his DNA to match that of his feathers" Having two conflicting DNA strands belonging to the same person... It was ludicrous but magic had made it a reality.

Saguru was silent for a few moments as he took in the information "Kaito is going to be upset when he finds out" He sighed, pinching his brow "But him being healthier is not something that I'd oppose to"

"So Kaito was human, became slightly less human, but now isn't human anymore" Yozora concluded "He didn't seem any less human to me than anyone else, so it should be fine?"

Shinichi nodded, feeling a bit guilty but not regretting the help that he'd given "Right, it's built in with a glamour to make machines register his DNA as human" He paused for a moment "He can't donate blood or anything but Koizumi assured me that Kaito would still be compatible when receiving human DNA" More like his new species was but he didn't want to say it like that. Shinichi hesitated for a few moments, cheeks tinting "Please use protection when Kaito wakes up, without his conflicting DNA, Kaito's body will function as it should" It wasn't dinner conversation but it was very important "He might be weak like I am when he wakes"

Yozora made a curious sound in the back of her throat "I think Kaito will quickly get over not being human when he hears that" Children were something that Kaito really wanted.

Stuck between a mixture of embarrassment and excitement, Saguru coughed into his fist "I'll make sure to keep that in mind" How else was he supposed to respond to that?

"It also might be why he managed to keep his magic up enough to save us" Shinichi added with a grimace "I would be dead if not for him" He unconsciously touched where he'd been run through by the metal bar "My injuries were too severe" The sleuth couldn't help grimacing at the memory "Changing what Kaito was has definitely improved his magical abilities" Kaito never healed anyone while he was unconscious before, the closest had been when Kaito had been on the brink of passing out. Until now that is.

Saguru hummed "Hopefully Kaito won't pass out as much from working at the hospital" He wasn't stupid, Kaito would always push his limits when it came to helping people. He just hoped that it wouldn't result in Kaito passing out as much. Getting him to stop all together would be impossible.

Yozora winced, she could see that happening. Kaito was just too nice "Maybe he'll be more careful if you tell him to care for himself so that he has time to care for his future kids?"

Azure lit up in contemplation "That could work, Kaito wants to raise kids, not just have them and be done with them" Kaito wouldn't be able to actually raise them if he was too tired to even do anything.

The blond buried his face in his hands, resting his elbows on the table "Why didn't I think of that? I could have claimed it to be practice for the future"

Yozora offered a small smile "I guess it's better late than never?" It was sweet watching the two worry about Kaito. The three chatted for a bit as they finished their meals, or at least Shinichi finished most of his meal before becoming too full to eat anymore.

With great reluctance, Shinichi was aware that he probably wouldn't be able to leave the kitchen without any help "Do you think you could help me to one of the rooms upstairs?" While eating had given him some more energy, he was starting to feel tired again.

Gold eyed the sleuth sympathetically "I readied a room for you next to one of the bathrooms" He'd been expecting the request "You're staying here instead of going home until you're able to leave on your own" He added.

Shinichi frowned but didn't argue, he couldn't really move much "Thanks"

The girl stifled a small giggle as Saguru helped Shinichi leave the kitchen. Yozora liked the interactions between the few people that she trusted. It made things feel more secure.

Me: So Shinichi admitted to how that potion was able to stabilize Kaito... Things are going well it seems

Comment? ^-^

QAQ I'm so happy, I bought myself a soft bed to replace the lumpy one I had

I've had the money for ages... The problem was going out and actually touching beds before buying one >^<

...Setting up a Full/Double bed by oneself is difficult.... Heavy, and hard to maneuver such a big thing by myself

I had a Twin/Single bed which is typically for children since they fit one person, my new bed feels so tall...
