“Why did you do that?!”

Why?

The thief clenched his teeth and led Shinichi over to the rooftop door as another shot bounced off the ground nearby, pulling it open and dragging the other close as they passed though.

Why are they here now?

He slammed the door shut behind them and leaned against it, breathing heavily with arms still wrapped protectively around the detective. He couldn’t even remember the last time snipers had been at his heists. Ever since they’d hired the assassin, there hadn’t been nearly as many run-ins with gunmen. Much less those that shot from afar. And now they’d put Shinichi in danger… Of course he would make sure the detective didn’t get hit.

After a moment, he loosened his hold to smile down at the other, trying to ignore the pain in his chest.

“Didn’t want you.. to get hurt… because of me… tantei-kun…”
