Pairing: Kaito x fem!Reader
Summary: You and Kaito have been in long term relationship and Yagami thinks Kaito made you up simply because he hasn't met you yet. (drinking, slight nsfw mentioned)
A silly, short fic with fluff, smooches and a slightly possessive Kaito.
Author's note: I just started playing Judgement and Kaito has stolen my heart. It literally went from ‘who's the guy with the offensive shirt, he should in in jail for wearing that' to 'oh my god he’s so adorable i love him’
I loved writing with Yagami and Kaito as I adore their dynamic ♡
‘Huh?! You’re still with her?’ Yagami turns to Kaito, stunned, as Kaito drops your name into conversation while discussing his weekend plans at the office.
‘We've basically been falling asleep next to each other for the past three years, Tabo... We've been over this’ Kaito raises an eyebrow.
Yagami hangs his mouth in disbelief. ‘You just don’t strike me as a long-term relationship kinda guy… Why do you never bring her round?’
‘I keep her out of the whole Yakuza business. I’m not directly in it anymore, but, don’t need her getting wrapped up in things she doesn’t need to be involved in, y’know? I don’t trust a lotta those guys…’ Kaito rubs the back of his neck.
‘Hmmm… Well, where does she stay?’ Yagami interrogates.
‘Eh?! How come I’ve never seen her?’
‘She’s never been around when you are. Also, you never come round. I’m always sluggin’ my way over to your place’
Yagami stares right at Kaito, narrowing his eyes. ‘I’m starting to think you’re making her up, Kaito…’
Kaito is in disbelief as a look of pure amusement and shock grows on his face at the idea Yagami could even suggest this.
‘I’m not that desperate dude, c’mon,’ he says through a laugh.
‘I don’t believe you… I’ve seen no evidence of her…’
Kaito folds his arms, silently for a moment, looking around their office for anything that will back up his case. He can’t have Yagami think he’s so desperate and lonely that he has to make up his own girlfriend. Who does he think he is?
His eyes dart to the sofa, and back to Yagami.
‘I’ve brought her here before’ Kaito confesses.
‘Wait, you’ve brought her here? To our office?’
‘Yeah… Only when we were around town and I had to drop in to grab my wallet.’
Yagami thinks for a second, trying to recall the events of the previous two weeks… Suddenly, he whips his head toward the direction of the sofa, then back to Kaito.
‘Dude, my sofa! Don’t tell me… That shit broke two weeks ago and it’s been so uncomfortable ever since! I gotta sleep there, man!’ Yagami doesn’t know whether he should be disgusted, embarrassed, disappointed or even a little proud at this revelation.
Kaito remains silent and cross-armed, holding a smirk proudly as he watches Tak’s mind uncover the mystery of the broken sofa in front of him.
‘There’s your evidence…’ Kaito says, leaning down to pick up his pack of cigs and keys from the coffee table and shoving them in his back pocket before heading to the door.
‘Gotta bounce, Tak. Catch you Monday.’ He opens the door slowly and pauses for a moment, ‘I’ll uh, pay for the sofa.’ He mutters over his shoulder before heading out.
Yagami grits his teeth. ‘You’d better!’ his voice echoing down the hallway stairs.
Yagami stands up and looks around, Kaito left his wallet again…
He is still thinking about this mysterious never seen before girlfriend of Kaito’s. The other guys had teased him about your existence a while back, but now he wondered. Had the others met her yet? Higashi, Sugiura?
Kaito would never let on, but he's a little hesitant to fully introduce you to Yagami. Even though he has absolutely nothing to worry about, he’s actually a little insecure. Kaito is a handful of handsome, but he doesn’t want to take the chance of your eyes wandering over to Yagami. Even though he knows you only have eyes for him, he looks up to Yagami a lot, which hazes his judgement. After all, Yagami has all the brains, Kaito is mostly just the brawl, at least, that’s how he sees it. His main concern is keeping you safe, hence his aversion to introducing you to the people in his world. He knows he could protect you when push comes to shove, but he wants to keep you close to avoid that.
You had, however, met Sugiura a few months ago when you both bumped into him in Kamurocho whilst you two were on a night out together. Sugiura exclaimed what a coincidence it was, but Kaito later professed that it was most likely Sugiura tailed you both upon seeing you guys around Kamurocho from the rooftops, and came down to be a ‘nosy bastard’ (Kaito’s words). Kaito’s gaudy shirt isn’t exactly hard to spot from a faraway distance, either.
Sugiura knew of your ‘existence’, but similar to Yagami, doubted poor Kaito due to never having actually met you.
You and Kaito were both pretty drunk that night, and you were just basking in the bright lights of Kamurocho and enjoying each other to the fullest. Kaito’s always full of fun and he always knows how to have a good time, he brings his loud feel-good energy to every outing. He’s had a lot of experience in his past, so he knows all the good places and makes sure he’s able to experience all of them with you.
However, it didn’t take long after the tall, fiery-haired youngster appeared in front of you both for Kaito to remove his hand from yours and swing his arm boldly around your shoulder, squishing you into his chest and proudly introducing you to him. His body swayed a little, pushing yours to sway alongside him.
‘Sugiura, this is y/n. Cute, eh? Eeeeeh?’ He egged him on.
Sugiara smiled and nodded, his furrowed, inverted eyebrows conveying a small subliminal apology for ever doubting Kaito.
‘I’m glad she exists, Kaito.’
‘Whattya mean?!’ Kaito animatedly launched into a ramble about how very real you are and how everybody shouldn’t keep doubting him just because he wants to keep you safe. It became background noise as Sugiara leant into you and whispered.
‘Geez, I’ve seen him happy lots of times, but I’ve never seen him this happy. Dude’s practically glowing. What have you done to him?’

After coming home from the office after his chat with Yagami, Kaito sighs and kicks off his shoes as he enters his apartment.
‘Not real? I’ll show him real…’ He mumbles to himself.
You got off work a little early today, so you met up with a friend, and afterwards you were able to come home early and indulge in your favourite hobby. Once you hear the door open, you pull yourself away from what you’re doing and head to the other end of the corridor where Kaito came in.
He turns his head toward your voice at the pleasant surprise of your sudden appearance in the corridor, initially presuming you’d still be at work by now.
In a flurry, he races up to you, his lips colliding with yours as he presses you into his body. One hand behind your head, the other holding your back as you arch backward into his firm grasp and his tall frame arches over yours. He kisses you passionately, leaning more and more into it each second, fumbling forward but catching himself with a step, getting as close to you in every physical way he possibly can. Kaito is very strong, and he knows it, so he always makes an effort to be gentle with you. However this time around he didn’t seem to hold back like usual.
‘Mmh…’ He pulls away, still holding you. ‘You are so real’
Your initial shock at his boldness turns into amusement after his surreal declaration.
‘What does that mean?!’ You laugh, breathlessly.
He tells you about his conversation with Yagami earlier, and how he had the balls to suggest you were made up. And how the other guys also think you’re made up, even now that Sugiura backs him up after meeting you that one time.
‘It’s pissin’ me off…’ He mutters. ‘Oh, and he knows about the sofa. I’m gonna pay for it’
‘To be honest, I’ve never actually met the guy. You do see him basically every day and I feel like I know him with how much you talk about him. I'd love to meet him, Kaito.’
‘Eh…’ Kaito responds, shrugging it off hesitantly due to his dead-set goal of keeping you separate from his world, but Yagami? How dangerous could he be…
Kaito changes the topic and starts to discuss what you want to get up to tonight. It’s Friday night, and you two had plans to hit the town. Kaito pauses and sniffs his silk shirt before promptly declaring, ‘I’m gonna go wash up, be out in a min’ and he heads into the bathroom. He did this often. Luckily, the guy’s a pro at speed showers.
You head over to the bedroom, starting to get ready for the night ahead. You thought you’d go for something simple and chic, some flatteringly straight black trousers with a tight low-cut black top, highlighting all the places you know Kaito loves. And a jacket, of course, it was freezing this winter. No matter how much your giant boyfriend could act like your own personal heat pack, it was still cold. You finish your makeup, check yourself in the mirror and start putting on your accessories.
Suddenly, the familiar sound of the doorbell rings.
‘Huh?’ You begin to make your way to the front door. ‘I didn’t order anything… And it’s late in the day…’ You mumble to yourself.
You walk past the now-steamy bathroom where the sound of shower water still runs from inside, and proceed forward to open the front door.
‘Hi…’ You give the man at the door a once-over and see no parcel in his hand, nor any high-vis jacket indicating he’s from some kind of facility company. He’s standing there looking at you holding a wallet that looks similar to Kaito’s. From behind, you hear the shower turning off.
‘…Can I help you?’ You smile at the stranger. He gives you a wide-eyed stare, a cheeky smile begins to form.
You pause to quickly look the stranger up and down again. Wait - Kaito’s words ring through your mind with the things he describes at the end of his long-suffering days with his work partner - the man who adorns a cropped leather jacket and skinny jeans that are way too inconvenient to be running around and fighting in. The chain dangling from his belt that does Kaito’s head in with its incessant jingling throughout every day. The fuzzy hair that blocks his way whenever Kaito wants to see past him.
‘Yagami?!’ You smile, proud of yourself for connecting the dots.
Yagami smiles in return, about to respond when a deep voice interrupts from behind.
‘I see you’ve met y/n, Tabo’ Kaito appears, fully dressed in a new outfit but with wet, dripping slick-back hair and a towel draped over his shoulder. The thick shower steam seeps out from the bathroom behind him as if he’s some kind of movie character making a grand enterance.
‘So she is real…’ Yagami proclaims as if he’s just solved a case.
‘Of course she is, idiot.’ Kaito walks up to the front door and slinks his arm around your waist, pulling you in right next to him like his prized possession. He throws his towel over Yagami’s face with the other hand, his way of saying fuck you for doubting me.
‘It’s nice to meet you finally’ You beam at the man who is now fumbling to take Kaito’s damp towel off his head.
‘Nice to meet you too’ Yagami smiles politely back, once unveiled.
‘Wow, Kaito,’ he teases, ‘I never thought you could bag someone like this, she’s ho-’
Without hesitation, Kaito slams the door in Yagami’s face with his free arm, the other remaining firmly around your waist.
‘See you Monday, Tak’ he bellowed through the door. No response, seems Yagami got the hint.
Kaito sighs, turns to you and looks you up and down. His body still emanating heat from the hot shower as he looks down at you, some miscellaneous pieces of hair falling over his forehead dripping with water one by one. He smells fresh. The new black silk shirt he put on coincidentally matches yours, and the fabric drapes over his muscles in a way that emphasises all the hard physical work he gets up to every day. You can’t help but feel a little flustered under his gaze. And he definitely knows.
‘Someone’s lookin’ good, hopefully that’s just for me, right? I think we have a little time before we need to head out, c’mon’ he picks you up and leads you to the sofa, being the closest piece of furniture.
All that hard work you put into getting dressed up is promptly undone under Kaito’s own doing, but you don’t mind at all. Kaito never passes up on an opportunity with you, and seems this time he can’t even make it to the bed. Poor guy, hopefully he won’t have to pay for another broken sofa after tonight.
(Yes, Yagami still has Kaito’s wallet and now his towel. Kaito will figure this out later in the night lmao)
