(Little!Ouma x Young!Saihara) My Little Sunshine

(Saihara is like twelve in this and Ouma's eight so the age difference isn't that big and nothing romantic happens. Just so you pervert readers don't get any ideas.)

Being alone.

It was a thing Saihara was very familiar with. He lived with his mother who worked on her computer from home. However, the fact your mother is home and not at an office does not always mean you get to spend more time with her. Shuichi's mother was constantly locked in her room, typing on her computer and coming out for a cup of black coffee and food. Shuichi had always done everything on his own. He made his food, never asked for help with homework. And he managed, somehow. At school, he didn't have any friends. He preferred to study and keep to himself. It's not like he could socialize properly anyway.

Today was also one of those lonely days. Shuichi sat in the living room when his mother suddenly came out of the room. "Coffee's on the dining table." He answered automatically. "Oh, I was actually going to ask you for a favor..." She spoke up. Shuichi turned to her curiously. "My boss and I have to go out to see a few businessmen interested in collaborating with our company. We're meeting in a town far away. Problem is that she has nobody to leave her kid with...so I was wondering if you could babysit him for a few hours while we're away." she said.

Shuichi's mom had a job in an office. It was a low-paid job which is precisely why she worked so hard. She wanted to receive a promotion for a better salary. Meanwhile, Mrs. Ouma was a skilled businesswoman leading the department. The Ouma family was quite rich not only because her salary was big but because her husband was the CEO of a large toy factory, D.I.C.E. (yes in this oneshot that's how Ouma thought of the name.)

Shuichi's eyes widened. A spark of irritation quickly ignited in Shuichi's mind. "Fine..." He said with a sigh. He knew it was pointless to argue with his mother. She wouldn't listen to him anyway. "Good. I'll tell my boss then. He'll be there in an hour" she said with a smile before taking the mug of coffee and returning to her room. Saihara put his hand to his head. Why does he have to deal with a small kid? He already has a lot on his plate to do. He sighed.

Guess he should get on with his duties before the little brat takes all his time.

A few hours later the doorbell rang, his mother immediately walking to open the door. Outside stood a woman with elegant purple hair made into a braid with minimalistic makeup and a clean face dressed in a typical black blazer and black skirt you'd see on a stock photo of businesswomen. She had black high heels, a sly smirk with a designer black purse. Next to her stood a short boy with purple hair with a checkered scarf, a white outfit and a Panta bottle in his hand.  "Hello dear!" she said before hugging Shuichi's mom tightly. They were very good friends, even though they didn't look like it if you saw them standing side by side.

"Ah, if it isn't sweet-old Shuichi! It's been a long time since we've seen each other in person, you grew up so much..." she said sweetly. It was true. The limited-time they did see was over Skype. The last time they saw each other physically was when he was four. "You know it really is nice of you to offer to take care of my little Kichi...he already scared away most of his baby sitters and I had nobody to leave him with..." she said with a sigh. 'Great...this will be a fucking nightmare then...' Shuichi thought to himself.

"That's because an evil leader like me doesn't need care! Just like the Phantom Thief says 'Thieves work alone and live by the roll of the dice!" he said proudly. This stopped Shuichi in his tracks. He had heard this line before. His eyes widened. "Are you quoting the Phantom Thief from the novel My Crime, Your Trial...?" he asked. Ouma's eyes widened. "You've heard of it?" he asked curiously. "Yeah, I've been a huge fan of the series ever since the beginning. My favorite book is the one where the thief was planning to steal the blue diamond from the famous museum" he said excitedly. "Aww! See Kichi! You're getting along already! Now Mommy's gotta go with her partner. I'll pick you up in two hours!" she said before walking out with Shuichi's mother.
