Adore

words: 324

Things had been quiet, peaceful even, since Snake had gone down. He should have been happy about this, and he was in a way, but mostly... Kaito was bored.

As was his usual, he was at Shinichi's home, intent on bugging the only person who seemed to be able to amuse him anymore. He hadn't touched his Kid stuff since that night, was sure that it was the end of Kid. He'd gone out with a bang, disappeared just as his mysterious persona demanded.

Kaito could admit he missed it a great deal.

"ShinichiShinichiShinichi."

Shinichi turned another page.

"ShinichiShinichiShinichi~"

His fingers tightened on his book.

"Princessssss."

"Kaito," Shinichi grated out. "If you don't shut up, I'm going to murder you in the face."

"But I'm so bored," he whined, making sure it was his best 'fix this! Pay attention to me!' whine.

Shinichi seemed about to snap at him, then paused. "You know," he said slowly. "Just because there's a logical reason Pandora shouldn't exist, doesn't mean that it doesn't. And, really, it wouldn't do for that to fall into the wrong hands, would it?"

It took a few seconds for what Shinichi meant to click, then Kaito lunged, and tackled him into the couch. "And that," he crowed. "Is why I adore you."

Then he kissed him until he couldn't think straight, and beyond.

It seemed Kaito had an answer to his question about whether or not he could live a normal life. Kaito really wasn't made for normal anything, and that was just fine for the both of them.

Besides, it would get him out of Shinichi's hair while he plotted and planned, and, secretly, Kaito was pretty sure Shinichi had been getting bored too.

After all, what was left to do after you'd seduced the one you wanted, except to continue the best game of your lives?

End of Fic Notes: Holy crap it's been quite a ride on this series.

And, wow. Almost 500 reviews on this fic alone. ;____; I really just don't know what to say. Thank you all for reading, for your support, and for taking the time to review, you have no idea how much I appreciate it.

I know the main reaction is: NOOOO ITS OVER, and SEQUEL?

I'd say you're nuts, I just gave you two hundred drabbles, only you're not nuts. There's a high probability that you'll be seeing more Seduction in your alerts in the future, but I need to take a break from this universe and work on some other things for a while.

Until the next fic, whether it be Seduction or not,
