Two VERY important people that he had no memories of also lived with him.
Standing in the door way to the kitchen he was debating on what he could do… He had no memory of either of them, but despite that he wanted them to be happy, they were his friends… And more, according to Yusuke
Although.. Admittedly he was having a hard time believing he’d let himself get THAT close to anyone… Shit, Raphael probably knew that and was making this worse.
Cursing himself he started to gather ingredients, he’d try to bake some cookies and hope he didn’t burn them like usual. It’s not exactly what he’d like to do, but it’s something to at least show he’s trying right?
“Maybe gingerbread… It’ll make the whole house smell like warmth”
….
For some reason he feels he should avoid the toaster at all costs though.
The house smelled….sweet. Kaito knew Raphael was in his room, which meant that the last occupant had returned home.
That also meant that Kaito was slipping out of the window in his room. He had to get away, be anywhere but near Akio right now. Maybe Molotov needed some company…
You can’t keep Akio out forever, Kaito had finally come out of his hole, and Akio decided hey, time to bake. He was watching Raphael pretty closely so it couldn’t be to hard, right?
“Here, I made you something” he held up a set of six cupcakes… They look okay but something seems off. “Tell me how it is, yeah? I worked hard on them”
Oh boy, oh boy, oh…..boy.
He can sense death in those cupcakes. Fire and brimstone and death. “Why don’t you have one first? Er, you know. Because my taste buds aren’t very…..refined.”
who steals french fries off the other’s plate: Both of them, but Akio takes more tbh because Kaito’s too busy defending his fries to take many of Akio’s.
who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they’re a couple: Akio, please stop.
who has to bust or bail the other out of jail: Are you kidding? They’re in there together. Not for very long, granted, but thy’re there together.
who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues: Akio gives Kaito advice, all things considered. Kaito does his best to try to get Akio a date (that doesn’t involve a one-night stand), though.
who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other’s eyes: Both of them, but Kaito’s better at it.
who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk: KAITO BECAUSE HE’S A DICK AND LIKES BOUNCING ON TOP OF IT.
who starts and who wins the pillow fights: Akio would probably start them, and Kaito would either win, or lose and get all sulky and hide the pillows.
who says “your pants would look better on their floor” to the other’s potential crush: Considering Kaito’s already in (very sexually healthy lbr) relationships, Kaito would. Kaito confirmed for worst wingman ever.
“Come on, it’s only Russian, not rocket science.” Although, granted, when compared to other languages, it had might as well been rocket science. “Say it with me, Зд- no no, it’s pronounced zdra, you’re doing that weird shdra thing again.”
The next time he was asked to teach somebody a different language, he was going to kick a baby. “это ерунда.”
Another nod of his head, he’d make friends with the cat, he was determined to make friends with at least one cat on this island. “I’ll give it a try… She seems like a nice cat, just unsure…?” at least, that was the feeling he was getting.
Akio made a face, brows furrowed slightly “…. People call you a flying squirrel?” Yeah, Akio doesn’t like talking about himself at this age, no one listens anyway, or they just shoot him down.
He opened his mouth to answer, but instead just smiled as the room suddenly exploded in doves, where did they even come from? There’s no way they were hiding in his shirt this whole time, right?
“Oh- Dove-san… My head isn’t a nest” Akio tilted his head slightly, trying to get a look at Ari-chan, of course that doesn’t work. “Aren’t you ever afraid they’ll fly away and never come back?”
…. Can he pet a dove or will they peck at him.
“Very nice cat.” Cat that fixed his broken bones that one time. Cat that hopefully wasn’t going to hurt him any time soon. Yes, nice cat, indeed.
“It’s an insult, I think. I fly, but I doubt I’m as stupid as a squirrel.” He shrugged; there wasn’t much to say on that topic. Just that some people’s insults got weird at times. Thanks, keibu.
He watched Akio’s smile, relaxing slightly. He was even cuter as a little kid, when he wasn’t trying to get into everybody’s pants. Of course, kids were always cute, so Kaito had to wonder if this was just one of those ‘parental instincts kicking in’ kinds of moments. “Not really,” he replied. “I mean, there’s not really anywhere to go around here. There was one that got away from me,” he smiled ruefully at the thought, “but I have a feeling Pi-chan’s doing a little better on her own. That one,” he pointed at the evil satanic hellspawn who’s already tried to kill him twice bird perching atop Akio’s head, “is Ari. And the rest of them…well, they’ve all got a lot of names. Go ahead and pet them if you want. They’re people-trained, for the most part.”
Maybe one day the anons will do just that, but unfortunately, no tiny Kaitou-kun for you. Plus, lets be honest, at least ONE person wouldn’t be amused with it.
Akio watched with mild curiosity as Kaito tried to clean up his desk, was it something top secret he wasn’t supposed to see? That usually meant it was really dangerous, or really fun… maybe both. How exciting.
“I saw a cat in here already, she kept staring at me like I was an alien or something” aka Morgana was debating on if talking to tiny Akio is a good idea. In fact, she’s probably right outside the door glaring daggers at you.
Akio, on the other hand was completely focused on Kaito, eyes going wide as the shapes appeared “W-wow! That’s so cool… Oh-” right he asked a question “Probably a cat, they’re generally quiet and don’t require as much attention as dogs” He was relaxing a little, now that he knew Kaito wasn’t going to make fun of him “Do people actually keep flying squirrels as pets?”
A pause
“What about you?”
“You should….probably deal with that cat. She might just want a friend.” And here we see Kuroba Kaito, praying that he wouldn’t get mauled by an angry purrsona-user any time soon. “And you like cats, so that’s a plus, right?”
“I don’t know, I’ve never actually seen a flying squirrel, regardless of what other people call me.” Huh- he paused slightly at the question. While not unexpected, it was kind of weird to be asked the same thing in return. Usually kids liked talking about themselves. Well, older Akio was never one for being normal, so he supposed he couldn’t expect the same from itty bitty Aki.
“Well I’m a magician, right? What do magicians always have a lot of? No,” he added quickly before Akio could jump to the wrong conclusion, “not rabbits- doves!”
And with that, he flung his arms out wide as a miniature flock of white birds erupted from his sleeves, despite none being there when he put it on. They all perched around the room, some of the braver ones cooing at Akio and one - Ari-chan, that evil little bitch - even fluttered to rest atop his head.
He suddenly looked scared, leaning on his heels with wide eyes. This could either be a good thing or a bad thing, although it seems everyone in the house knew of him… He had to wonder how. “Mm… Really? Funny, that’s the third time I’ve heard that today” He’s starting to get suspicious.
Akio’s head ducked as his hair was ruffled, letting out a little squeak and reaching up in an attempt to put it back into place- Although he soon realized he didn’t care and left it to be a mess. …. Messier mess. “Oh… Okay, I don’t think I’ll do it, my family’s not here but it’s kind of weird to even think about. You can continue to do it, though.”
Nodding as he was given his name he peeked into he room, tidy enough, looks like he was working on something though and decided sitting on the bed would be the better idea since Kaito’s desk was covered in stuff and he didn’t want to accidently ruin anything. “Magician- Thief???” well there’s two things Akio would have never put into the same sentence.
…. Kind of made sense the more he thought about it though, wow.
“Me?” the child pointed to himself, mouth agape slightly. He had… No idea how to answer this, there was nothing special about him, at least, nothing special that anyone would actually wanted to hear about
“Um… I’m an elementary school student in a small rural town, I’m in grade 2″ yup, that’s all he could think of, face squishing up slightly as he tried to find something interesting along the lines of magician or thief. What kinds of things did adults even like to hear about? “My current ambition is to own a pet… But my mom’s allergic to pet dandruff”
He felt embarrassed, probably looked embarrassed too, this was such boring stuff…
Elementary school…see, it would have been funnier if Akio had turned into a small tantei-kun….er, a kaitou-kun, in his case, retaining his memories but just in a tinier package, but that didn’t seem to be what happened. “That’s cute,” he muttered slightly to himself as he attempted to tidy his desk. While the rest of his room was pretty neat, there were admittedly tools and scrap metal strewn across his desk the floor there-under. He wasn’t quite sure where the project was going, only that it was probably going to be loud and boisterous and at least mildly destructive. It was hard, being a teenage genius. It was hard, and nobody understood except probably all the other teenage genii on the island.
“Well there’s no mom stopping you from getting a pet here, and I doubt anybody in the house is allergic to dandruff- might have to ask them, though.” Oh, Morgana would probably have his head if she heard Kaito suggesting that Akio get a pet that wasn’t her. “What do you think you’d like best? A cat? A dog? How about a flying squirrel?”
As he spoke, he produced a handkerchief out of nowhere, folding it with puffs of smoke with every word. A white dog appeared in his hand, then a black cat, then what was probably supposed to be a red flying squirrel.
