DISCLAIMER: I do not own Detective Conan and Magic Kaito. They belong to Gosho Aoyama.

A/N: Hi, readers. This is my second fanfic and the first time I am writing shounen ai story. So, I am not sure whether this story will turn up good or not. Warning: Implied yaoi and possible grammar errors. This takes place after Shinichi defeat BO and return to his original body size. Words in italic means monologue.

"AHH- ACHOO!" Kaito sneezed again for the umpteenth time today. Thanks to him accidentally tripped and fell into the cold river yesterday, he caught a cold.

"Botchama, I think it's better for you to postpone tonight's heist till you get better", said Jii while giving his young master another tissue.

"What are you talking about, Jii-chan? Kaito Kid will never back off just because he has a cold. Besides, tonight heist is going to be very easy since our opponent is that rich old man again. That bastard Hakuba is not around to disturb my plan either since he went to England to solve a case", said Kaito before he sneezed again.

"But, I am sure that the Kudo-san will be there too, young master Kaito. What if you got exposed by him and got caught by Nakamori-keibu?"

"Geez, Jii-chan. You are such a worrywart. It's going to be ok. I just need to eat my medicine before the heist to reduce my flu."

Jii sighed. When it comes to this, Kaito is as stubborn as his father when he was young. Ohh, Toichi-sama, it seems like young master Kaito not only inherit your talents as a great magician but also your stubbornness too. "Alright, botchama. But, please rest for now. It's my job to make sure you have enough rest so that you are back to your health as soon as possible."

"Everyone, get to your positions now!", Inspector Nakamori begins to yell through his speaker. "Five more minutes till Kid arrive. This time, we must not fail." "Roger, Nakamori-keibu." All the Kid's squad said as once.

"Hahaha, don't be so tense, keibu. That's no way he can pass through my traps this time. We even have Kudo-kun here to help us" Jirokichi said proudly while patting Inspector Nakamori's shoulder. "But, it's still a shame that Conan-kun, our 'Kid Killer' has went back with his parents to America. Or else, with him and Kudo-kun work together, Kid will be caught in no time", Jirokichi continued while shaking his head.

Shinichi who overheard what Jirokichi said could only sweat-dropped. Too bad Conan and I is actually the same person. Shinichi is busy observing the jewel that is enclosed in a special cast submerged in a small tank of water. I bet the water is part of the traps that the old man Suzuki talked about. Hmmm, I wonder what the traps will do.

The target for this time is a sapphire called the 'Blue Giant of the Orient'. It is said that the sapphire is the largest faceted blue sapphire in the world. Jirokichi spent quite a lot of money to get his hands on this jewel just to lure Kid out.

That old man still didn't change, huh even though a year has already passed. Still want to catch Kid no matter what. That's right. It has been a year since he defeated BO and Haibara managed to find a permanent antidote to grow back to their original size. It also has been a year since Ran broke out with him.

Shinichi was sad back then but he knew it was his fault for letting Ran waits for him for so long without telling her anything. That's why although it pains him; he is willing to let Ran go. He was depressed for quite some times but now, for some reasons, his heart is not in pain anymore. I wonder it is because of time. People did say that wounds heal over time.

"Ten seconds till Kid arrive. Stay alert", said Inspector Nakamori. Shinichi quickly steps aside and stands near the wall. He doesn't want to get trapped by whatever traps that Jirokichi has set up for Kid.

Five, four, three, two, one, zero. Shinichi counted in his mind. As soon as he reached zero, the electric is cut off.

"Damn you, Kid. Quick, turn on the emergency power system!" yelled Inspector Nakamori. "Sorry, keibu. It seems like Kid has destroyed all of them." "WHAT!" The inspector shouted so loud that almost everyone has to cover their ears to protect their poor eardrums. He knew that Kid will cut off the power so he has prepared at least five power generators as a backup. He even ordered half of his squads to guard those generators.

"Nakamori keibu, as loud as always I see", greeted Kid. Those who have torches or smart phones immediately shine them around to find Kid. But, they couldn't see the phantom thief anywhere. Even Jirokichi and Shinichi couldn't see his whereabouts.

"I know you all have been waiting for my show today. Unfortunately, the only show I can present for you today is this", Kid snapped his fingers and a tiny explosion occurs at the display that holds the jewel. A cloud of pink smoke appeared suddenly and Kid is standing near the display holding the sapphire. "What a nice blue sapphire you have here, Jirokichi-san. Well, I will be taking my leave now. See you next time." Kid waved and shot a card with fire towards one of the fire sprinkler system on the ceiling. He then disappeared in a puff of pink smoke.

Instead of water coming out from the sprinkle, some kind of blue coloured liquid comes out followed by a bunch of feathers falling down out of nowhere. The liquid causes the feather to stick to them and slows down the movement of the inspector and his squads. Now, all of them look like some blue feather mutant humans. XD

Jirokichi was surprised as he never thought that Kid will use explosion this time to destroy the cast that contained the jewel. He thought that Kid will just steal the jewel using his usual magic pranks. That's why he set up those traps. The traps will be activated when Kid touches the cast. The water in the tank will freeze immediately upon any direct contact is made to the cast. A sleeping drug will be immediately shot out from the small pole besides the tank as Kid's hand stuck in the ice. That's what he has planned for Kid.

Kid secretly sneaked out of the room while avoiding those liquid. Since he is now wearing black, it will be hard for people to notice him as everyone is busy trying to get rid of the feathers that obstruct them. I need to hurry up and get away. I am feeling so dizzy right now. "Achoo!" Kid sneezed. He has been trying his best not to sneeze during his heist just now.

Apparently, Kid's cold worsens that evening and he started to have fever. He pretends to be alright in front of Jii so that he is allowed to continue his heist. At first, he planned to steal the sapphire like usual but he ended up ditch his plan and use explosion instead since he doesn't know how much longer he can held. He was lucky that the feather tricks have already been set up a few days ago, so he didn't need to do much that day.

Kid's fever worsens to the point that he started to see fruits and vegetables walking around instead of human right before his heist starts. Jii-chan and kaa-san going to get really mad at me later.

Unbeknown to Kid, someone was secretly following him from behind. Shinichi has noticed something is wrong with Kid since Kid's voice sounded a bit off. Kid even kept his speech short. So, he decided to follow Kid from behind. He is worried about Kid. Is he sick?

Since the place is on ground floor, Kid can't use his glider. After he managed to pass through the guards at the front door by using sleeping gas, he changes his clothes and heads towards the park nearby to wait for Jirokichi to fetch him.

Unfortunately, he stumbled halfway at the road side and almost fell flat onto the ground if Shinichi didn't catch him in time.

"Huh, I didn't fall. Thanks for helping me…", Kaito turned around towards his helper to see a fish with a human body holding his arms. "Gyahh, a fish monster! Stay away from me!" Kaito pushes the hand away and instinctively back off.

Fish monster? What is he talking about? "OII, watch out!" Too late. Kaito bumped his head on the light pole and fainted.

Shinichi quickly rushed towards him. Oh gosh, I knew it. He is having a fever. Guess I have no choice. I will bring him back to my house first since my house is nearer than his. Shinichi then called for a taxi. On his way back home, he also called Professor Agasa to help check on Kid.

Once they reached Shinichi's house, Shinichi carries Kaito to the guest room and put him on the bed. Profesor Agasa and Haibara were waiting for them in the room. Haibara decided to stay in her child form to start a new life after the whole BO incident is over.

"It seems like he just having a cold and a high fever. Well, give him this medicine and he should be alright soon", said the professor after he checked on Kid. "We will be taking our leave now, Shinichi. Don't worry. The medicine can be eaten with an empty stomach", the professor added.

After both of them left, Shinichi fed Kaito his medicine and sat by Kaito's side. He has called Jii and explained what has happened and told him to pick Kaito up in the morning since it's already very late at night. Shinichi has known Kid's real identity and his aim about half a year ago. They stumbled upon each other quite a lot of times in various cases other than Kid's heists too.

The reason why he is attending all the Kid's heists up till now is to help Kid defeat the organisation that is after the Pandora. Now that he thinks about it, he is having a lot of fun solving Kid's riddles and chasing him around. They occasionally hang out together during their free time too.

While staring at Kaito's face, Shinichi noticed that Kaito is sweating profusely. His clothes are all drenched in his sweat. He can't sleep comfortably like that. I need to wipe away his sweats and change his clothes. While Shinichi is wiping the sweats, he recalled what Haibara said just now. "You know, Kudo-kun, you sounds like Kid is dying when you called professor through the phone. You love him, don't you? It's rare to see you so worried like that", said Haibara.

It's not that Shinichi doesn't know. He just doesn't want to acknowledge his feeling. Deep inside his heart, he already knew why he doesn't feel depressed over the break up with Ran anymore. It was not because of time that my heart heals. It was because of this guy over here. The reason why he keeps denying his feelings is because he thinks that this is just a one-sided love. There is no way Kaito will love me. He has Aoko by his side and I am a guy to begin with.

Shinichi is trying to remove Kaito's shirt when he wakes up. "It's that you, Shinichi?"Kaito asked with his eyes half-opened. "Ohh, Kaito. You have awake. You must have been thirsty, right? Then, I go get you a glass of water while you change into this shirt", Shinichi said immediately and tried to walk away at the same time avoiding Kaito's gaze. Damn, it feels awkward. Out of so many times that he could have woke up, he has to wake up when I am trying to help changing his shirt.

"Don't leave me." Kaito immediately hugged Shinichi from behind. "Please don't leave my side. I love you", Kaito blurted out. Shinichi froze. Wait. What? Did he just say he loves me? "Err, Kaito, what did you say again?"

Kaito thinks that this is only a dream since there is no way Shinichi will come over to his house and nurse him. (Apparently, Kaito thought that he was in his own room and he didn't recall meeting Shinichi in the heist just now). Since this is only a dream, then, I don't need to hide my real feelings from him. I want to try and confess to him.

"Shinichi, I said I love you. I know this is just a one-sided love from me but I can't help but to fall in love with you. I know this is so pathetic of me. Who would have thought a phantom thief like me will end up falling in love with a guy." Kaito tightens his hug. He buried his face onto Shinichi's shoulder.

Shinichi quickly turns around to face Kaito. "No, you are not pathetic. And…it's not….one-sided…love. I thought….I was the only one….who felt…that way." Shinichi's voice lowers down as he speaks and his cheeks reddened.

Kaito is surprised. He never thought that both of them have the same feelings for each other. Kaito then leans forward to kiss Shinichi. Both of them share a long passionate kiss. They only stop after they are almost out of breath.

This dream is so nice. It has been quite a while since I have such a nice dream. "This dream feels so real and you are so warm, Shinichi. I don't mind having fever every day if I can have such a realistic dream", murmured Kaito.

Shinichi overheard Kaito's murmur and looks at Kaito straight at his eyes. "You idiot, this is not…". Shinichi couldn't finish his sentence as he sensed someone else is in the room.

"Oopps, sorry. Didn't mean to disturb you guys. I just come here to pick up my phone. It seems like I accidentally left it here," Haibara said.

"Oii, you should knock the door first before you enter, Haibara." Shinichi said while trying to hide his embarrassment.

"I did. You didn't hear the knocks since you are too engrossed in your little make out session. So, I decided to just take my phone and leave. Never thought that you will notice me presence. Anyway, I am going to leave now. You guys can continue whatever you plan to do. Sorry again for disturbing you guys and bye." Haibara smirked before closing the door.

That girl, she didn't feel sorry at all. Shinichi's vein popped up on his head. Before he could do anything, the door opens again.

"By the way, Kaito, don't be too rough on Kudo. His body is still weak due to the antidote's side effect." Haibara said while closing the door again before she got hit by a pillow thrown by Shinichi.

"Haibara, I'm going to get my little revenge on you next time! And who said that I will be the bottom one!" Shinichi shouted. He then felt Kaito slumped over him. No wonder he was so quiet. He has fallen back to sleep,huh. Shinichi quickly changes Kaito's shirt and gently lays Kaito on the bed. He then quickly picks up the pillow on the floor and put it under Kaito's head.

Shinichi ends up staying the whole night taking care of Kaito and only goes to sleep when Jii comes to pick Kaito up in the morning.

Kaito wakes up in his room around the afternoon. So, it was a dream after all, huh. Kaito sighed.

"Oh, you have awake, botchama. Your fever has gone too. We really owe Kudo-san and the professor a favour this time", said Jii while placing his hand on Kaito's forehead.

"Ehh, what did you mean, Jii-chan?" Kaito is confused.

"Botchama, you didn't remember? According to Kudo-san, you collapsed right after your heist last night. I was so worried when I couldn't find you at our meeting place until Kudo-san phoned me and told me that you are in his house. He was the one who nurse you last night. I only came to fetch you from his house this morning. Ohh, I almost forgot. He said to give you this when you are wake up." Jii passes a small box to Kaito.

I wonder what is in that box. Kaito opened the box without thinking and a punch landed on his face. "Ouch! That's hurt. That damn detective. What was that for?", Kaito yelled.

Ehh,what's this? Kaito noticed a piece of small paper stuck on the punch. He removed the paper from the punch and read it.

Written on that piece of paper was Shinichi's handwriting. 'Baro, it's not a dream!'

Wait, does that mean that what happened last night wasn't a dream? Come to think of it, isn't this Shinichi's shirt that I am wearing now?

"Botchama, are you alright?" Jii was worried. For a second, Jii actually thought that his young master has lost his mind due to receiving a punch directly on his face just when he just recovered from his fever. It's normal for him to think like that since Kaito was scrunching up his face in one moment and then he started to blush and now, he is smiling like a little boy who just received a large amount of sweets that he is craving for.

"I'm ok, Jii-chan. In fact, I am feeling so happy right now. I managed to steal the most precious gem in this world. For once, I plan to keep the gem for myself and not returning it back to its owner." Kaito grinned while holding the paper close to his heart.

A/N: Well, that's the end for this oneshot. Sorry, Ran. I only ship you and Shinichi in the manga and anime. I ship Kaito and Shinichi in the fanfic world. About the jewel, I just randomly picked any from the Wikipedia and it just happened to be the largest faceted blue sapphire in the world. Hope you enjoy this story and feel free to review this story. ^_^
