Another chappy because berry is frazzled.... and she's planning to write another tomorrow to help the stockpile...

"So you're going to Kudo-kun's tonight for supper" Nowaki inquired, handing Kaito the lunch that the other had packed.

"Yup" Indigos gleamed as he accepted the container, it held some white rice and vegetarian octopus dogs that Saguru had lovingly made him.

Nowaki smiled "That's good, you've been pushing yourself too far lately" He gave a small laugh at the pout he received "You know it's true" He and Kaito had grown close after the younger had studied under him. It had actually surprised him that the young magician had specifically asked for him. Though that may have been because he'd already known a bit about Kaito's special traits from when he'd treated him after that time Kaito had been kidnapped by cultists. God it had scared him the first time Kaito had jumped out a window, basically blind at that!

Kaito stuck out his tongue "I'll help people as much as I want" He picked up one of the octodogs, noting that Saguru had poked holes in it to make a face. Great, was he supposed to imagine killing them or something? Faces didn't belong on food. He still put it in his mouth anyways though, not wanting to waste Saguru's effort. Hopefully the blond liked the lunch that he'd made for him. He swallowed the mouthful "I like helping people" It made him feel all warm and fuzzy, especially the smiles he received.

Navy eyes softened at Kaito's words "You're lucky that I can put up with your nonsense, brat" Though Kaito wasn't nearly as hard to handle as his own lover "Do you want to come over for supper with me and Hiro-san next Monday? Hakuba can come too"

"Sorry" The magician offered an apologetic smile "Me and Saguru have a date planned" They hadn't gone out together in a while since they've both been busy.

Nowaki nodded in understanding "The offer's still up if a case happens" He'd heard from Kaito about the times that Saguru had needed to cancel for a kidnapping or how Kaito himself had needed to cancel for an emergency surgery. There'd been no hard feelings between the couple since they both knew the value of saving a life.

Kaito grinned "Thanks, it'd make Saguru feel less guilty" The blond was always extra sweet and affectionate after a cancelled date. It really made up for the loss "Though I'd prefer it if I didn't see you Monday night" He joked.

While both doctors were enjoying their lunch, two detectives weren't really having that great of a day.

"Shinichi" Saguru breathed, eyes closed as he tried to calm himself "Can you remind me why I jumped after you? I really can't recall why in the bloody hell that I thought that it would be a good idea"

The sleuth grimaced, trying not to throw up at the smell "Neither of us were thinking" They'd been running on adrenaline, so they hadn't paused in following the murderer down the chute. Unfortunately said chute came out into the sewers for some reason. Fortunately the murderer hadn't known that, so they'd been able to capture him while the guy had been reeling from the smell.

"Dear lord..." Saguru gagged, he might have swallowed something, and that was a nasty thought "I won't suppose that you know the way out of here?" He peered up the chute, it didn't look like they'd be able to climb back up, especially not with the murderer in tow.

"No..." Shinichi pulled out his phone, mourning how it'd take forever to make it seem clean again "But Kaito might, he should be on lunch break right?" The doctor knew a lot of weird things, it wouldn't be surprising if the guy had the sewer system mapped out. He dialled Kaito's number.

"Shinichi?" Kaito sounded a bit surprised "Is Saguru okay?" The sleuth didn't call him during work that often.

He glanced towards the disgruntled blond "Yeah, we're both okay" Just smelly and standing knee deep in sludge. He grimaced "Can you give us some directions?" He proceeded to tell him what happened, and in return got laughed at, along with some directions. He turned towards Saguru "Of course he would find it amusing"

The blond nodded, not surprised in the least "One of his favourite pastimes used to involve him coating me in colourful sludge" At least it hadn't smelled too bad compared to now.

Shinichi let out a sigh "Follow me, I know the way out now" He grabbed one of the murderer's arms while Saguru took the other. They both then proceeded to drag the guy through the sludge, it was the unspoken payback for putting them in this disgusting situation in the first place.

Kaito burst into a fit of giggles once Shinichi had hung up "Nowaki you won't believe this" He wiped some tears from his eyes "They followed the bad guy into the sewer and didn't know how to get out!" God the things detectives could get into! It was worse than when he'd been Kid!

Nowaki covered his mouth to stifle his own laugh, he was pretty sure that wasn't supposed to happen "They're something else..."

The magician nodded "Yup" He glanced at the clock "Break is almost over"

A few hours later had Saguru sniffing himself "I can't smell anything..." He couldn't tell if he still smelt like sewage. His sense of smell was currently fried.

"Same" Shinichi frowned, they'd both already showered a few times at the sleuth's house since it was closer. They'd left the murderer to Takagi since they knew that the officer could be trusted, they'd do the paperwork another day "I'm not sure if we should invite Ai and Hakase over for dinner tonight" The female scientist would scold them to no end if they smelled.

"At least we'll be eating outside so the smell won't linger?" That was one good point, Kaito was good natured enough to ignore the smell. Though he wasn't sure if the magician would be able to do so at night. He may have to sleep in the guest room tonight.

"One more shower wouldn't hurt I guess..." They both headed towards different bathrooms to cleanse themselves.

Me: This was really fun to write XD

Hope you enjoyed~

Ever since Berry started this, she's been writing more often for her other books >^< because she has decided that she must write a chappy for one of those books before she can do so with this book (since its schedule is currently floaty)

Berry's city finally called emergency •3• meh, was hoping it's hold off for a bit longer. At least few infections present and city isn't packed like a sandwich

RIP toilet paper shelves and pasta in store...

QAQ pasta.... thank god for Berry's non-emergency stockpile habits... pasta is her fav food

Tortellini stuffed with cheese~ Covered in Alfredo sauce >~<
