Y'know What'd Be Funny? Kaitou Kid Dropping Enough Accidental Clues That He's Fond Of Detectives When

Y'know what'd be funny? Kaitou Kid dropping enough accidental clues that he's fond of detectives when Shinichi knows that Kid just sees them as critics, to the point that he realises Kid is especially fond of one detective in particular and starts teasing him about it.

It takes Kaito a while to figure out because although he's a heist and magic genius he's not the best at emotional intelligence, and when he does? Guaranteed fun for Conan.

Because somehow, Shinichi can see past to what's going on in Kaito's head just enough to know he's flustered and panicking at the idea of Hakuba Saguru of all people showing up. He'd suggested off-hand that he'd heard from the guy who wasn't actually there once and Kid had twitched in a minute way, and from then on it's "sorry, it's just me" and complaining to Hattori about why Kid would be attached to someone whose best - in Shinichi's opinion - trait is liking Holmes.

It comes to a head, though, when he slips up about it around Hakuba himself, who... pauses, bemused.

And then starts to blush.

Basically, Conan acting as the annoying "little" cousin and teasing Kid over his crush only to end up as the world's most unlikely and unwilling wingman.

Do you ship it?

reason: Every detective needs a phantom thief and every phantom thief needs a detective. Saguru has figured out that Kaito is Kaito Kid and calls him from Paris to give him information on another phantom thief who is trying to outshine him. Saguru says: ""Do your best at least. I don't want to see you lose to anyone before I capture you myself". Homosexual behavior.

My conspiracy theory is that he made Kaishin cousins to distract everyone from his terrible choice of keeping Toichi alive and it's working.
