Black Coffee

It's always been the same routine for at least a couple of years now. Wake up, get dressed, go to my classes, prank people here and there, and then go home. But ever since University, things have gone... Hectic.

For one, my dear Meitantei, is my dear, oh dear, roommate for the semester. Second, well... There isn't really a second since I base my pranks around Meitantei while he obviously has suspicions of me being KID and all. I swear, he hangs around Hakuba too much...

Shinichi looked at Kaito and walked into the room. His name almost gave him nothing, just some random facts about Kuroba Toichi at memory. He could say something about him from his deduction, of course, but it didn't gave him explanations. Why does Kuroba seem familiar to him?

And he is. He looks like an uncatchable memory that he has, but can't remember which. 'I suppose we can't mess each other... I hope' He thought before looking at Kuroba. "Do you need any information about me?" He is a magician... Well, it's a little boring but it's not a problem.

"Eh? Information? My Meitan-" Kaito quickly cut off. If I call him Meitantei, he'd surely piece the pieces together... Kaito quickly tried to recover, but I can see suspicions in his eyes. "I-... Don't need any. I have read about your cases after all." Kaito tried. Acting casually, he began to flip cards around the air, but even with a poker face on, his shoulder were stiff.

Deciding to stop, Kaito then turned to Shinichi with a familiar subject. " Ne, you like Holmes right?" He asked. He knew Holmes like the back on his palm now thanks to Hakuba blabbering on and on about him during High School. 'Thank you, Hakuba~' He cheerfully thought.

Shinichi already caught onto the Magician's mistake. Meitan? From Meitantei? He was famous enough but why did Kuroba wanted to call him like that? And 'my'?

"Of course I like Holmes! He's the best detective in the world!" He said with excitement. Maybe too much excitement but he couldn't help it, he loved Holmes too much. Even as he wanted to talked about Holmes all day and how wonderful he is, something never goes away from his attention.

"He's the one who can truly be called Meitantei! By the way..." His voice dropped "Have we met before? And was 'Meitan' from Meitantei?" Shinichi threw Kaito a new observing look "And am I so scary that you can't even relax?"

Kaito felt his eyes widen. Of course he'd notice! "I-I don't think we've met before..." Damn, my voice cracked! "Even so... For a person who would face murders everyday, you're not that scary." Except when you're kicking a soccer ball towards my face... He thought silently. He tried to relax his shoulders, put on his strongest poker face, but he still felt it wasn't enough.

"We have." Shinichi concluded noticing the hidden emotions. And did he imagine it or was his voice a little too high than it would normally be? "And did you find me scary?" Magician. Meitantei. And then this kind of fear. Oh, he knew one person that would suit all of this. He obviously couldn't forget face. He just didn't see it clearly.

"Did you know you're hopeless, KID? Relax. I'm not going to turn you in to the Police." He breathed and went to check the water. Cold. That's a pity.

"Coffee? Sorry, I don't have any tea I can offer you." He asked as if a world wanted thief wasn't there and just found it simple. Simple... Is that KID's opinion of me?

Kaito stayed silent and reviewed his options. Admit you're KID or keep pretending? Even as Meitantei said he wouldn't turn him in... "KID? As in... Kaitou KID? Geez... You really are like Hakuba." I'm not going to give up that easily Meitantei.

Shinichi gave Kaito a glare, silently saying that it's futile to try and pretend. Ignoring this, Kaito tried to get out every single contradiction to Shinichi's statement. "And besides, I wasn't even born yet when KID made himself known to the world."
