The get together continued late into the night, though eventually Aoko and Akako went home. Shinichi opted to just stay over in a spare room, not wanting to run into a crime on the way back. Ai? Kaito wasn't sure what happened to her, but he knew that the little scientist could take care of herself. She'd either left, or was staying in the medical room for the night.

Sleep had come with surprising ease to Kaito. He'd ended up curled around the egg, with Saguru curled around him. The combined warmth of both their bodies and the unnaturally warm egg had Kaito waking up feeling a bit lethargic. The cozy warmth was not something that he wanted to lose. Unfortunately, Saguru had to get up for work.

"My warmth..." Kaito complained, despite still having contact with the warm egg. The magician pouted as he watched Saguru leave the room before reluctantly scooping up the egg to follow after him. Hugging said egg to his chest felt natural as he caught up to the other "What should we have for breakfast?" Now that he'd left the warm cocoon, he was feeling a bit hungry.

"French toast and bacon should suffice" Saguru replied, he was sure they had some of Kaito's special bacon left.

Kaito smiled, indigos gleaming "Good, lots of protein. I'm sure Shinichi would have just had leftovers if he'd gone home instead of staying the night" He liked making sure that the sleuth ate well. Shinichi and Saguru were partners, they needed to be well enough to have each other's backs. The little scientist did a good job monitoring him, but Shinichi managed to sneak a few things past her "I'll make some fruit smoothies for an extra boost" And to appease Ai if the scientist had in fact stayed the night as well.

Saguru nodded "Can you put together something for lunch as well while I cook?"

"Of course" Not wanting to put the egg down, Kaito used his wings to hold it behind him. It felt a bit awkward, but he managed with only a little strain. He'd fashion an egg holder later. Kaito set to work on making the smoothies, while at the same time putting together two lunches. One for each detective. They both contained leftover rice, cooked vegetables, and octopus dogs. He even cut up some apples into bunnies just for fun. When he finished, he left to go fetch the sleuth.

Yozora was just leaving her room as Kaito passed it "Smells good" She yawned, heading downstairs.

Waking up the sleuth ended up being somewhat difficult, but he managed to drag a half-asleep Shinichi down to the table right as Saguru was setting down the plates.

"We really shouldn't have stayed up so long..." Saguru sighed, eyeing both Yozora and Shinichi, the two of them looked sleepy.

"Weak" Ai stated, walking into the room and taking a seat "I stayed up all night, I'm still fully functional"

Yozora eagerly started to fill her plate, the food looked good "It was a special occasion"

"I'm not weak, I just need coffee" Shinichi breathed, perking up when Kaito waked a cup of his beloved beverage right under his nose. He took it gratefully. It smelled divine so the magician must not have contaminated it with sugar, or salt. Kaito could be cruel.

Kaito beamed, sitting cross-legged with the egg in his lap "Your reliance on coffee will get you into trouble one day" He waved a hand, allowing small bowls filled with strawberries, blueberries, and some cut up bananas to appear beside everyone's plates. An extra vitamin boost to go with their fruit smoothies.

Ai smirked "Are you sure this much nutrition won't shock Kudo's system so early in the morning?" She knew that the other usually just had coffee more often than not.

"He's eaten here before" Yozora replied, feeling a bit confused. Wouldn't she already know that?

Saguru smiled "She's teasing him" He clarified, Yozora nodded in understanding.

Tsuki came flying in, settling on top of Kaito's head "This is really good Saguru" The french toast was soft, but crisp enough to not be gross. He snagged a strawberry and gave it to Tsuki.

Gold narrowed at Kaito "You're showering before you even think of laying back in bed" Tsuki wasn't a messy eater, but she also didn't have hands to hold the fruit "I do not want our bed sheets to become sticky"

Kaito stuck out his tongue "I was already planning to shower"

"Can Fluffy eat anything here?" Yozora inquired, wanting to feed her pet too.

"This food is too fatty for cats" Ai answered, an obese cat would be more at risk for health problems and arthritis later in life. Carrying the extra weight would be bad for the joints.

"Oh..." Yozora wilted a bit, she didn't want Fluffy to be at risk.

"You can feed her proper cat treats after breakfast" Saguru added "Just a few though"

"Okay" She'll wait until Kaito was showering, she wanted to give Fluffy some tuna. She didn't want to make Kaito uncomfortable though.

The meal continued nicely, with everyone eating their fill, Saguru and Shinichi were forced to leave before cleanup, getting a call from the inspector. So they grabbed their lunches and rushed off.

"Why don't you go and continue your studies, I'll help Kuroba clean up" Ai suggested, looking at Yozora.

Yozora nodded, a little confused "Okay" She must want to speak to Kaito in private. She hoped that it wasn't bad news.

"What's wrong?" Kaito inquired after Yozora had left, he didn't pause in wiping the plates off.

"Nothing is wrong" Ai answered, collecting all the cups "You just need to not do anything strenuous for a while. Despite the apparently easy 'birth' your body had been sapped of a lot of vital nutrients" She frowned, eyeing the egg "I stole some samples from Kudo while he was sleeping, the egg is absorbing nutrients through touch" She'd talked with Akako before the witch had left.

"Oh" Kaito blinked "I'll have to eat a lot of food then..."

Ai nodded "That would be advisable, it's not dangerous, but could become dangerous if the contact is constant without proper meal supplementation"

"Right, so sharing the egg is actually recommended" So he'd just need to make sure everyone ate extra well. That was fine.

Me: So no danger, just more food will need to be eaten... Eating food is nice ^-^

The egg is basically a parasite, but a wanted one XP

Comment? ^-^

Cranberry sauce, yes or no? I love it ^-^ used to use it to eat my meat. But now that I love meat instead of hate it, I eat it by itself~

Restaurants use the canned stuff °^° you can see the can lines... They could at least mash it enough to at least try to hide it XP
