Whenever Shinichi saw Saguru, he felt a little conflicted. Surely the blond had the right to know about the danger Kaito was in right? It'd been around a week since he'd had to cancel his and the magician's travel plans, yet he still couldn't help but feel uneasy. Both males were his friends, and he didn't want to see them hurt.

"You've been looking a little stressed lately, are you okay?" Saguru inquired as he handed the sleuth a cup of black coffee. It was nearing the end of the day, thankfully it had been a slow day so they were actually at the station.

"Thanks" Shinichi's movements were a little slower than normal as he accepted his beloved drink since Tsuki was resting on his head. He couldn't see the dove, but he had a feeling that she was actually sleeping. He glanced down at the dark liquid in his hands "Can I talk to you about something in private?"

The blond blinked "I see no harm in it" Shinichi offered him a small but relieved smile as the two of them headed towards one of the private rooms. It was one of the few that had no cameras since it was meant for sensitive topics "I've been tempted to inquire about what was troubling you for a while now"

Once they closed and locked the door the sleuth met Saguru's gaze "It's about Kaito" He admitted.

Saguru grimaced "Did that idiot do something stupid behind my back again?" Sometimes Kaito really messed up badly on a trick, but was too embarrassed to tell him about it. It was never serious thankfully, and it made him feel better that it was usually a matter of pride instead of a lack of trust.

"No" A small blush tinted his cheeks when he felt Tsuki suddenly nuzzle further into his hair, god it must look so messy by now "Haibara told me something a while ago" And he really wasn't sure how to phrase what he wanted to say "She told me that it was actually dangerous for Kaito to conceive"

The blond's shoulders dropped a bit as he let out a breath. So that's what was worrying Shinichi? "I know, Kaito told me a long time ago" It had been a painful conversation but they'd talked through it.

Azure widened "He really told you?" He frowned "Then why are you guys... You know..." Trying for a baby when it could very well kill the magician.

Saguru's gaze softened "He promised that he wouldn't die, and that he'd take better care of himself" Kaito always kept his promises "I trust him to be able to keep himself alive" Kaito had gotten into a lot of dangerous situations before, but he'd always made it out of them alive.

"Oh" That actually sounded like something Kaito would do "I'm sorry for being nosy" He could have easily started an argument between his friends if things hadn't turned out so well.

"It's fine" Gold gleamed "You were just concerned about the both of us"

At the hospital, Kaito was on break since he was working a later shift than usual "I'm tired" He whined as he flopped onto one of the lounge couches. He couldn't help but pout at the fact that he still had a few more hours of work left.

"That means that you're doing fine" Nowaki laughed, Kaito was more prone to complaining when he was fine. It was only when he was hiding something that he didn't complain.

Indigos narrowed at his friend "Go away" He waved his hand in dismissal "Shoo" Nowaki's break was almost over "Let me complain in peace" His tone was rude, but he was smiling.

Nowaki smirked "Fine, enjoy your break all alone" He replied as he finished putting away his meal containers. He gave a wave which was returned before leaving the room.

Kaito sighed once he was alone, he'd taken a few days off of work and today was his second day back. It was a little easier than before to stop himself from bursting out in tears whenever he remembered what he'd lost, but it was still hard. Thank god he wasn't going to be working in the maternity ward for a while. He was pretty sure that he'd end up bawling eventually if he did.

He'd wanted to go to work right away to prevent himself from dwelling in his thoughts, but Saguru had advised him to wait a bit at the very least. His patients would take him more seriously if he didn't look like he was distressed, which he understood.

He got up, washing his face in the sink with cold water before seeking out his delicious supper from the fridge, he then popped the leftover spaghetti into the microwave to heat it up. Kaito glanced at the wall clock and sighed, just a few more hours until he could go home. Until then he'd keep up his poker face and face his patients in a way that made him seem reliable.

Saguru yawned as he put away the dishes, the leftover rice would be taken by either Kaito or himself to work the next day. Whenever one of them had to eat alone, they'd cook enough for two or more, just to save on the dishes. Though Kaito usually got the meals that required warming since there was a chance that Saguru wouldn't be near a microwave due to a case.

He heard the front door open and smiled, Kaito was home on time "Come here and help me clean up" He called as he turned off the tap, receiving an affirmative in response.

"Oh rice!" Kaito grinned as he spotted the cooker, waving his hand near it to check the temperature, finding it cooled down enough to store "What did you have with it?" He inquired as he fetched some storage containers from the cupboards as the blond dried his hands.

Gold gleamed "Grilled chicken" He replied as he motioned towards said leftover meat on the stove.

"It smells good" The magician sighed, wanting to eat it because chicken was delicious.

Saguru smiled "How was your day? Mine was quite lax for once" He was glad that Kaito wasn't one of those people that scorned meat and instead accepted that everyone had different opinions.

Me: A lax chappy with nothing too complicated happening~

Ibuprofen did nothing but make blinking a nuisance >^<
