His Feathers - Magic Kaito

8. Sharing a Bed and Talking

1021 Words excluding (A/N)~ Yay 8 chapters~ I don't own Magic Kaito, if I did, Kaito would be half blind from being shot by Scorpion~

"Please just leave it be" The magician whispered, ducking his head lower so that his chin was touching the bed.

'Why is he so scared? Is he afraid I'll use his injury as proof of him being Kid?'

"Kuroba, no matter what, I promise not to use your injury against you in any way" Saguru tried to soothe, he'd be scared too at the possibility of jail, there'd be no way to hide from assassins.

'He's so submissive... I don't like it, Kuroba isn't supposed to be like this'

Kaito closed his eyes and shook his head, a small tremble passing through his body. "I'm not seriously injured, it's just that I can't move well with the way I've bound my injuries. I'm much better than yesterday" The brunette paused for a moment before continuing. "I'm just tired from blood loss, but I'll be better with rest" Kaito replied, voice soft as he averted his gaze. He figured that the other had already suspected blood loss and admitting it would be less suspicious.

'Since he's conscious, I don't need to worry about the blood loss'

A soft smile played on the blond's lips. "I'm relieved, I've heard that practicing magic can sometimes be dangerous" Saguru breathed, wide indigos whipped over to meet his eyes. Kaito hadn't expected the easy 'out' that he'd just been given.

'In a way I'm not technically lying, some magic tricks are potentially dangerous if done wrong'

"Yeah, it can be hard at times..." Kaito glanced at the bed thoughtfully. "Normally you'd accuse me of being Kid and say my injuries are from heists..." He sighed.

Saguru nodded, it was a normal response. "True, but that was before I started to get to know you. Even if you were Kid— I'm not saying you are— you'd probably have a really good reason." He gave the younger a gentle smile. "You're not the kind of guy to purposely use up police resources just for kicks— if you were Kid that is"

'I need to be careful with my wording, I don't need him shutting me out right now'

Cautiously, the brunette managed to sit up, he almost fell but Saguru caught him by his arms to help steady him. Kaito bit his lip. "What do you think Kid's reasons are?" He ventured.

"He's looking for something, and those people after him probably want whatever it is. He's purposely drawing their attention with his flashy clothing..." Saguru clenched his fists as he continued. "He continuously does his best to maintain his 'No one gets hurt policy' despite that he doesn't include himself in it. He's most likely trying to take a gang of killers down with little help..." The detective finished.

'He's a stupidly self sacrificing idiot who's going to get killed... I can't even protect him by locking him up'

Saguru jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Hakuba, Kid-sama most likely has help. It's unlikely that he's doing all of that all alone right?" Kaito flashed the blond a cheeky grin before continuing. "He probably practices all the time and studies all kinds of medical aid, you said it yourself, he likes to protect people" The magician praised, looking much more like himself than before.

'He looks more confident, more like Kuroba'

"That makes me feel much better Kuroba, I'll be able to sleep better with less worry" Kaito tilted his head as his face scrunched up in concern at the other's words.

"You've been losing sleep over him? And not in the kinky way?" The last bit was tacked on with a small smirk.

The blond let out a sigh, resisting the urge to smack the injured boy. "If Kid died... I don't even want to think about it. It's bad enough that he'd be killed if he was ever caught" Saguru sighed.

'I'd most likely fly back to England and never return to Japan...'

"But you're always chasing him..." The magician replied.

"If I chase him, he'll have more incentive to polish his skills. He seems to become more lax when it's just the task force after him. If I ever managed to catch him... I'd hide his identity and help him fight the shadows after his life..." Saguru finished.

Kaito gawked, he hadn't expected the detective to actually care so much. The fact that the other didn't seem to be lying was a little scary. "You're a detective, it goes against everything you stand for..." Kaito whispered, still shocked.

The blond shrugged. "Nobody would know, I'm sure that Kid would twist things to protect my standing if things got too messy. Letting a good person die would be more against why I became a detective"

'Kuroba wouldn't let me take the fall with him'

"Oh..." Kaito held back his embarrassed blush, he wasn't used to being praised by one of his detectives like this. "I won't tell anyone what you told me, that could cause problems for you" Saguru nodded his thanks.

"That would be appreciated" The blond glanced at his pocket watch before putting it away. "It's 8:32:12 am, I'll prepare something for us to eat" Kaito opened his mouth to refute but Saguru cut him off. "You need to rest to regain your strength, Baaya has already called in for me and has kicked me out of the house until you're better"

"Why did she kick you out?" Kaito questioned, it was odd that Saguru's caretaker had done that.

"Baaya wants me to socialize more and I've ranted often enough to her about your antics that she wants us to be friends" Saguru admitted, knowing that the other would be able to see through most lies he'd manage to make up.

A Kid grin covered the magician's face. "Oh? You talk about me?" He asked, his tone suggestive as he raised a brow.

'And this is one of the reasons I know he's Kid, that grin'

"Kuroba, please don't make me want to poison your portion. I am a detective, I know how to hide evidence" Saguru sighed, rolling his eyes at the other's antics.
