Clair de Lune

"My bad! My bad! It sounds as though things heated up a bit..."

"I didn't sign up for this! Gun and explosives and what the hell? These bad guys of yours! If I hadn't hidden my glider in the storage just in case, I'd be charcoal grilled right now!"

"Well, since this you we're talking about, I thought you'd be prepared. Anyway, consider yourself out of my debt."

"Hell yeah I am!"

"And remember to drop off this phone I gave you back at the agency."

"Out of your debt?" A very annoyed Kaitouu Kid thought. "Consider yourself in my debt now, Tantei-kun."

Kudo Shinichi, aka Conan Edogawa stared at his phone in annoyance. Giving his other phone to Kaitou Kid was necessary at that time but he regretted his decision now. Kid did return his phone but that thief also installed the new messenger application in his phone. He was certain that Kid created the apps himself and he grudgingly admitted that Kid was indeed smart enough for that. But why must the thief sent him message nonstop now?

SH: Stop texting me!

That was right. Kid put his contact name as SH for Sherlock Holmes.

AL: Where is the fun in that, Tantei-kun?

And Kid chose Arsene Lupin for himself. It was really typical.

SH: Why are you doing this?

AL: Remember the debt I used to own you on the train incident?'

SH: What about it?

AL: It was way too dangerous. So, I decided that you own me.

SH: And this is the way for me to repay you?

AL: Nah, bothering you is very fun.

Didn't Kid have a life outside his heist? Conan grumbled. While he thought that Kid's heists were interesting and challenging, he didn't want Kid to stalk him now. His life was complicated enough, he didn't need additional problem.

SH: You're so annoying.

AL: Glad to be of assistance.

"Conan-kun! Lunch is ready," Ran called from the kitchen.

"Coming, Ran-neechan," he replied. Kaitou Kid could wait.

"So, is Kid still texting you?" Haibara asked during school break.

She had caught him texting to Kid and with her incessant question, he was forced to explain.

"Yes," he replied.

"Hmm..." Haibara muttered thoughtfully.

"What?" he demanded.

"Nothing" Haibara replied innocently.

He narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Whenever Haibara had that expression on her face, it didn't bode well for him. It had been two weeks and he and Kid still texted each other. Kid was an interesting person across the phone. The thief had dry humour and sarcastic wit. He also presented challenges and puzzle. Kid was a genius. There was no denying that. Not to mention that Kid treated him like an adult, which was very refreshing for him. He didn't need to act like eleven year old child with Kid.
