Part 45: You two like a perfect couple

******Finally, Kudo Shinichi finally figures out what he want.*********

"I... Ran and I... broke up."

Kuroba almost choked on his food. He turned around, saw that neither Sonoko nor Ran were at their seats, and figured out what had happened, though it was hard to believe.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly break up?" He asked quietly, lowering his voice out of consideration.

"I don't know... suddenly... not really... Kid... please don't say anything."

Kuroba nodded and stayed silent. He picked up the onigiri he was going to give Kudo, tore open the wrapper, and as he was about to take a big bite, Kudo snatched it away.

"Wasn't this for me? How could you eat it?"Kudo yelled.

"You didn't say you wanted it! And besides, you looked completely uninterested. I was just trying to save the food from going to waste."

"Here we go again." Kudo stood up instantly and reached forward, but Kuroba reacted much faster than Kudo,"Not giving it up. That's mine now!"

"Kid! You... darn it!"

"Hey, hey... Meitantei! What... are you doing?!"

That's the magic of Kuroba Kaito. He could pull Kudo out of his emotional slump without Kudo even realizing it. It was only then that Kudo noticed how similar his smile was to that of the teenager beneath him. He let go, and Kuroba slowly got up, pretending to be scared.

"Meitantei, you're really strong. What do you do, lift weights or something?"

"Not as impressive as you. I don't have your eight-pack abs."

"How do you know?"

Kudo blushed, quickly stuffed the onigiri into his mouth, predicting what Kuroba would say next, "Don't say anything weird. People might get the wrong idea."

Kuroba stared at him.

Kuroba Kaito loved seeing him flustered. After chewing and swallowing the rice, he drank some water before speaking.

"If you say that, people might think you have ulterior motives toward me.Meitantei, you'll have to take responsibility for me."

Kudo's eyebrows twitched. He knew Kuroba said it just because he couldn't hold his tongue, but... Kudo couldn't help but take it to heart.

"Don't make that face; it's so ugly." Seeing that Kudo was finally not dwelling on what happened earlier, Kuroba smiled. He grabbed his bag and met Kudo's confused gaze.

"Come on. Since you've just been dumped, I'll take you somewhere."

"You... know this is called skipping class, right?" Besides, this guy was being watched by several pairs of eyes. Didn't he notice the looks his classmates were giving him? Did he really think he could skip class without anyone noticing?

"Oh, come on. Why are you talking so much? We'll be graduating in a few days. The teachers couldn't care less about roll calls. What, are we going to be held back for missing a few classes? Besides, if I get into trouble, won't I have you,Meitantei.?"

Kudo thought Kaito would take him somewhere special, like an opera house, a magic show, or an aquarium. But it turned out to be a large supermarket. Kudo caught the shopping basket that Kuroba tossed to him.

"What... what's the meaning of this?"

"Don't you know? When you're feeling down, you should come to a place like this. The extended displays, the dense rows of products, stimulate our parasympathetic nerves, helping us relax our muscles. Now, Meitantei, catch!"
