Accomplice__ Kudo Shinichi x Kaitou Kid, Kaito Kid x Kudo Shinichi

Part 61: BL Fan Works Exhibition.

The phone call was filled with Hattori Heiji's loud shouting.
"What?! Kudo Shinichi! Say that again!"
"Can you keep your voice down? You're going to make me deaf." Kudo Shinichi threw his phone down on the kitchen counter.
"Wow, Kudo, I really didn't expect this from you. Me and Kazuha haven't even... done that yet."
"What do you mean by 'that'? It's just a kiss. And it's not the first time either." Kudo rubbed his face, looking slightly irritated.
"Just a kiss? Those were hot kisses! And I've never done something like that with Kazuha, especially not at school! Weren't you worried someone might see you?" Hattori gripped his phone tightly, glancing out the window to make sure no one had entered his room.
"We were on the rooftop. No one saw us," Kudo explained, trying to calm things down.
"The rooftop?! Oh my! Kudo—aren't you worried someone from a nearby building might have spotted you and Kuroba-kun? That would be a huge headline!"
Kudo rolled his eyes. "Are you done yet?"
"The headline would be—Breaking news! High school detective Kudo Shinichi caught kissing on the roof with the infamous phantom thief Kaito Kid—"
"Shut your mouth," Kudo snapped.
"Where are you now? Is Kuroba-kun with you?" Hattori asked.
"Do you think I'd be calling you if he were here? Who knows where he's off sneaking around."
"So, you just called to tell me this?" Hattori asked, sounding slightly exasperated—though, Kudo couldn't help but think, bro, who was the one screaming so loud the roof nearly lifted off?
"I just wanted to ask you..." Kudo hesitated, clearly uncomfortable. "The... next step. What should I do next?"
"Kudo Shinichi!!! Next step!?"
"Hey!Hattori! Keep your voice down!" Kudo yelled back.
"Sorry, sorry..." Hattori quickly apologized to both Kudo and a passing elderly woman walking her dog. He wedged the phone between his neck and shoulder again.
"You're asking the wrong guy. I mean, when Kazuha and I started, we were just... holding hands. I haven't exactly... heated things up like you and Kuroba-kun."
The mention of "heated" made Kudo's face turn bright red, as if he'd spent an hour in a sauna.
"If you're looking for technique, you could, uh... ask..." Hattori almost suggested KID, but he swallowed the words.

"Well, just don't ask me. But..." Hattori glanced sideways, his dark face flushing red again. "I passed by the living room earlier, and my mom and dad were watching this Saturday night romance episode... maybe... you could try that?"
"Wait, Hattori, I'm not sure I even want to hear this," Kudo said.
"What the hell are you thinking?!" Hattori grumbled. "Look, the main characters... they were in front of this summer fountain... Hold on a sec... What, Mom? Oh yeah—I'm on the phone with Kudo Shinichi! Sorry, Kudo. Where was I? Oh yeah, they were in front of the fountain, and they were sharing an ice cream cone..."

A door slammed open.

"Hattori Heiji! Your father's been calling for you several times ! Get downstairs, now! You're going to be late!" Hattori's mother, Hattori Shizuka, stood in the doorway, holding a fan. She was dressed in an elegant purple kimono with gold embroidery—simple yet dignified. She pointed the fan directly at Heiji. "Get dressed."

"What... wait, where are we going?" Hattori yelled.

"We're meeting the Toyama family at that seaside restaurant for dinner. Did you forget?"

"Wait—what? You never told me... okay, fine, I'll get changed."

Kudo glanced at his phone screen where "in call" was still displayed, but there was no more sound from the other side. He sighed and hung up.
Seriously, he didn't even finish the story... Ice cream? What?

Just then, the door opened again.
It was Kuroba Kaito.
—------------------
Kudo Shinichi's eyes had the look of someone waiting for Kuroba Kaito to confess everything. Where did you go?
But Kuroba Kaito wasn't one to give in so easily.He held out a lemon tart and a neatly wrapped package of cookies, using them as the perfect excuse for being late.
