So this is for you @gingerwitchhh, hope you like it. But honestly, I didn't run it to my beta yet (she's still busy with the new chapter of the Sherlock-Conan crossover), and the prompts (which are still open) are more to get me back to writing. Right now, it still feels like I don´t know what I'm doing, which is even more frustrating since I should know how to write, yeah but - whatever, hope you'll still like it. Next one will be a glimpse into what happened after "Lost in time" since it was also a prompt (even though it seemed to be gone).
See you next time around :)

“Honestly, I thought our first double date would be a little more… romantic, Heiji.” Kazuha complained, before reaching for Ran's arm, in order to pull her closer for her argument.
“I am sure Ran-san and Kudo-kun would rather see a movie or somethin’ like that! It’s their first well… real meeting with us after all.”
“No offense Kudo-kun” She fussed, but didn’t see the weak smile on the detective's face, while he could clearly see that Ran herself looked rather unwell, being drawn in their argument.
“Actually, Kazuah I piked tha heist because these two are accompanying us.” Heiji clarified proudly when they entered the building.
“After all, “No one get’s hurt” on a Kid heist – So no body’s dropping today for this Tokyo murder magnet.” He grinned, ignoring the girl’s surprised looks as well as the annoyed groan of his friend.
But Shinichi’s protest was drowned by someone calling his fellow detective by the name.
“Ah Nakamori-san, nice ta finally meet ya!” Heiji greeted the young woman, who made her way towards them. Shinichi raised his eyebrows at the familiar name, he knew Heiji had pulled some strings to get them here, but what surprised him wasn't the fact that the two children of police officers seemed to know each other, but the fact that the girl in front of them looked quite similar to Ran.
“I’m glad you could make it! I’m sure you’ll be quite helpful, catching this fealty thief.” She smiled.
“Oi Aho-ko, who are you talking to?“
“Ah Kaito! If you allow me to introduce you to Heiji Hattori, the son of the chief of the Osakan police department and his friends, this is my fried Kaito Kuroba, also my classmate and some crazy wanna be magician and fan of Kid." She sneered in annoyance.
"So just ignore him during – what the?!” She stopped herself, looking from her childhood fried to the guy accompanying Hattori and back.
“WHY are there two of ya!” The detective of the east yelled, before she had the chance to do so.
“Baka-ito I swear if that’s one of your jokes!” Aoko hissed, turning back to her classmate.
“What! No I-“ But even before he had the chance to defend himself a roar of laughter interrupted him, coming from the last person you would have expected, Kudo Shinichi himself.
“Oi Kudo?” Heiji hissed, trying to calm him down, but his friend didn't- or rather couldn’t answer since he couldn't stop his laughter.
“I- I guess the guy just needs some fresh air.” Kaito flustered, taking Shinichi by the shoulders in order to guide him around the next corner.
“I – We’ll be back soon, don't worry about us.”
“Seriously Tantei-san?” The thief growled in annoyance, looking down at the detective who was still bending over from laughter, once they were out of earshot.
Shinichi took a shaking breath, still trying not to burst out laughing again.
Honestly, a room full of police officers, a magician named Kaito – and no one questioned his presence? The detective shook his head.
“So your name is really Kaito, and no one ever figured out that you’re actually Kaitou Kid?”
The high schooler in front of him just raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
“Well, no. Seems like my disguise is just as good as your fake glasses have been, brat.” Kaito growled and was satisfied to see his lookalike flinch at the remark.
“At least they never had enough proof to arrest me for good.” He mused.
“Huh?” The sudden serious tone of the detective had ripped him from his thought.
“You being Kaito Kid?” Kudo’s blue eyes were piecing his own, before a sly smile appeared on his lips.
“Can’t, right detective? Not after everything that had happened between us.” He smirked, his whole manner had changed from Kaito to Kid within seconds, so that the detective took a step back, slightly flustered.
“Oh relax already will you – honestly you detectives are no fun.” Kaito grumbled, already back to his “usual” self. The sudden change left Shinichi perplex, he knew that changing from one persona to another wasn't that hard when you're used to it, but that didn’t mean it freaked him out any less. The magician – or rather thief – on the other hand, seemed to be much more disturbed by his silence, since he struggled to continue their conversation.
“Besides, it’s not like there are more people with our face running around, are they?“
‘You’d be surprised…’ Shinichi mused.
“So, what are you going to do about it?”
This time it was Shinichi who was surprised by the serious tone of the thief. He was leaning against the wall, arms crossed in front his chest, casually waiting for a reply. Shinichi frowned, despite all this he could clearly see the tension in the magicians shoulders, as well as his gaze which lingered on the hallway behind him, probably planning for the best way to escape.
Kaito was surprised to see a smile appearing on the detective's lips, Kudo had closed his eyes, hiding his hands in his pockets, before he looked up again, still smiling.
“Not much I guess…” He answered with a shrug. But the thief still wouldn't let it drop so easily.
“Awe, you’re still scared I could spill your little secret? Conan Edogawa…” Shinichi tensed at the name, but only for a brief moment, before he rolled his eyes at the not so hidden blackmail in the other high schoolers word.
“Maybe, but beside…” He mused, before a dangerous grin appeared on his lips.
“… where would be the fun in catching Kaito Kuroba, when I’m here for Kid.”
Kaito was taken aback by the detectives' statement for a second, before his lips mirrored his smile.
“Huh, guess you are different after all… Tantei-kun.”
The tension in his shoulders vanished, when he saw that the detective was serious about it, guess he should have known that Kudo would react different from what he was used to.
‘Especially compared to some British nerd, trying to catch me during our Japanese lesson.’ The thief groaned at the thought.
“You shouldn't start celebrating just jet through.” Shinichi warned his look alike, in a serious tone.
“Huh?” Kaito looked up from his thoughts in surprise.
“Well, on the one hand – I’ll still catch you, and on the other…” The detective smirked, pointing over his shoulder.
“… Ran it still waiting out there.”
Kaito followed the hint, bending slightly to the side in order to look around the corner they were hiding behind. It seemed like the three girls were having a great time, while Hattori gave him a sour stare, but once Kudo’s girlfriend saw him, her whole manner changed in an instant. He twitched when he saw her hand forming a first, he very well remembered that the girl could turn solid stone to powder with just one punch.
“I guess she still has a bone to pick with you, after you’ve been playing Dress up ever so often.” The detective added with a smirk, as he saw Kaito slowly losing the color on his face.
“Not to mention Hattori as well-once he’ll figure it out.”
“B-But- I’m sure she wouldn’t, I mean she –“ Kaito stammered
But the detective just laughed at his lack to form a useful sentence, instead he turned around to leave him to his agonizing thoughts.
“Well good luck with that Kaito.” Shinichi mocked.
He waved, not looking back, while he made his way back to their small group.
“Oh fuck you, you little –“ The thief growled, as he went after the detective but stopped when Mori’s deadly glance found him once more.
‘Jeez- I’m as good as dead.’
----------------------------------------------------------
Honestly, I wanted to end the shot with a brief flash to a scene after the heist, where Kaito finds a message from Shinichi offering help with the organization – but since that would just leave an open ending, and kind of bittersweet stuff (on Kids side) I skipped it, for one simply happy little shot – after such a long time with no writing at all.
