“Why are you leaving?”

meitantei-cowlick:

A person from my muse’s past threatens to end your muse’s life unless ours sever ties. Send “Why are you leaving?” to hear the lies/excuses my muse comes up with to leave yours.

Shinichi flinched at the sound of the thief’s voice, wishing to god it had been any one but him to ask. He could lie to just about anyone, had been doing so for so long, but KID wasn’t one of those people. Their entire relationship, of sorts, had been honest (though that didn’t mean there weren’t secrets or things unsaid). And now he was going to have to lie about this, couldn’t let him know. 

“Figures you would seek me out upon hearing I’m leaving,” he sighed out, keeping his back to the thief. Maybe he could manage if he didn’t look at him? “I… have a new case I’m being sent on. It’ll take me out of the country.”

Kid looked sadly at the detective, a hand unconsciously clenching at his side. While it had never been aimed at him, he’d heard the excuse before, and always when something involved danger. And it was highly doubtful this wasn’t a lie, considering Shinichi couldn’t even look him in the eye. He knew the detective said it to not get others involved, but he never thought he’d be on the receiving end of it….

“Tantei-kun, please don’t…”

Don’t go? Don’t lie? There were a few choices he had for what to say, but his voice wouldn’t let him finish. Instead, he just stared at the other for a moment before looking down in silence.
