Trolling. More AUs. And a bit of angst.
Probably.
Loop 91
Shinichi blinks and pauses midsentence. He's reading the script for his next movie and his mother is helping him.
He doesn't remember ever meeting Kai in this life.
Oh, and has he said that he is currently in Paris?
Well, this is different.
Then the fox on his lap - ok, not the stragest thing that happened to him - blinks red eyes at him. 'Everything okay, Chi?'
It definetly says something about his life that it still isn't the most absurd thing he experienced.
The fact that the fox is apparently this universe version of Pandora and that he is some kind of guardian is, though.
(Even after all this Loops he still wonder why it's always, always, him that gets in this situations.)
(But, hey, he has powers in this universe! Take that Kai! He has magic!)
Loop 109
His father is alive.
His father is alive.
His father is alive.
His father is alive.
Kaito gapes at him and then the poker face slams in. "I'm inviting the Kudos at dinner." He pays no mind to the fact that he has never met them in this Loop and jumpes out of the window.
His father - he's alive he's alivealivehesaliveohmygodhesalive - calls out for him. Kaito climbs a tree and stays there.
He won't move until Shi's there with him.
(In the end the Kudos aren't invited at dinner, but that's ok, because Kaito is breaking in the Mansion way before midnight.)
Loop 1.1
It's probably one of his worst ideas, he knows, but it's the only thing he can think of.
They know the future, they can prevent so many things. But they need to not change too much or their knowledge will become useless.
A major point they can't afford to change is Conan. (And Shinichi doesn't know how to not be Conan, doesn't know how to be just Shinichi.)
So, it's simple, really.
Kaito knows what happened at the amusement park that day.
He doesn't know when.
It's very easy to pretend with Ran for a couple of day, writing off any strange behavior as the effect of a mild headache. (He's lying to her, again. Maybe he has forgotten how not to?)
He goes to Tropical Land. He rides the rollercoaster and solves the murder.
Then he takes a fortifying breath and follows Gin and Vodka.
(He feels like throwing up. After all he has gone through in order to be Shinichi again, now that he is himself, he's going to transform in Conan volontuarly.
He feels so sick.)
Kaito is going to be mad. But he will understand, Shinichi knows he will.
Then he'll start fussing.
That last though is enough to make his lips twich.
And that's when something hits him on the head and the world fades away.
Loop 53.1
Saguro's pretty sure Lupin - why couldn't the cat chose something like Sherlock or Arthur? - isn't a normal cat.
Cats don't use a book to show which name they want. They don't chose their name.
Cats don't read police reports.
They don't help solving cases pawing at photos of suspects and specific words or grabbing random objects, sitting on the case' s folder and staring at him until he finally gets the who and the how. Sometimes even the why.
Cats don't start grumble around one a.m. and take whatever he is occupied with around the house and then settle on his bed when he finally conceds to go to sleep.
They don't make sure he has everything he need every morning by blocking his way out of the door until he checks his bag twice.
They certainly don't stare longingly at cups of coffee and then drink happily said coffee when offered a cup of their own.
But apparently his does.
He isn't even surprised when one afternoon he find Lupin staring at the television, KID's last heist playing on the screen.
And he does nothing more than blink when the morning after Lupin jumpes in his school bag.
(If he wonders for a brief moment if the cat will find a way to help him in class too, well. That's for him to know and for everyone else to never find out.)
Loop 7.1
Shinichi is acting strange. He's smiling, humming some tune (and no ones ears have started bleeding yet) and he keeps wriggling in his chair.
He's giddy and he's making their classmates uncomfortable.
(He's making her uncomfortable.)
Ran decides to confront him.
She approaches his desk and he turns to her with a blinding smile. "Hello!" He chirps.
Shinichi doesn't chirp.
She's about to speak and ask him if he has eaten vanilla flavored chocolate again (the last time was when they were ten and she still has nightmares), when the door is thrown open and Shinichi marches in the class with pink hair and yellow uniform.
Wait.
Shinichi marches in and glares at a giggling Shinichi.
(Someone whimpers. A couple of girls squeal.)
What.
