The magician did have to be careful coming to his other self, considering people more than likely wouldn’t buy the idea that he wasn’t the Kaitou Kid they were looking for… Not to mention just finding himself took far longer than he would have liked.
When he did find him, though, a grin spread across his face and he quietly stepped forward. And when he got close enough, Kaito put his arms around his doppelganger’s shoulders, humming as he gave a quick peck on the cheek.
“Yo~ Doing okay?”
He was distracted, but really, Kaito was rarely focused on one thing for too long these days. Slipping behind alleyways and trudging back to Ed’s put him in a contemplative mood, so when he saw someone coming in the opposite direction, Kaito didn’t give it much thought.
But that grin. Oh, that smile was unmistakeable. The fugitive felt one bloom on his own face as he was hugged and kissed on the cheek. It had been so long since hugs… Ed was doing her best to make up for it too.
“Things are starting to look up,” was his somewhat-tired reply.
“Well, that’s good, at least…”
The magician gave a small hum and stayed there a short while longer before letting his arms slide off his other self. He might not have the same problems in his own universe, but it wasn’t too hard to imagine what his double might be going through… Frighteningly easy to think of, actually, much as he’s wondered what might happen if he got caught…
And, well, imagination alone was enough to let him worry.
“Did something happen recently?” Kaito asked, turning to fall in beside the other as he gently bumped shoulders.
