(Should probably say while I’m thinking about it, my Kaito does tend to be more aware of his loneliness. Not normally, but the reason I do have a lot of random interactions at other people’s houses take place after heists is because that’s when he feels it most. Again, since my Kaito is more independent as the manga would indicate, and doesn’t have anything like a post-heist chat with Jii, he tends to go home himself, and after a heist full of people to come back to an empty home (with any targets always being failures), it does get to him. So, that’s why he’ll almost always be after a heist in popping up in people’s windows. Or, if he were more bold, through the front door. :V 

(And aside from those, normal days would have him coming home after walking with Aoko or such, it’s more doing it in the dead of night after he’s been against everybody when it’s not the same level he can deal with. So yeah, if he’s not visiting, he might stay out a bit or at least on the roof or such. Not as bad in the open as it is surrounded by walls, though the ‘Kid cave’ isn’t so bad.))

Of course some random intruder would get the ‘cute treatment’, they would think he’s just a kid! Besides, it was an effective way to keep people’s guards lowered. No one would worry about a child, and if he acted amicably, the intruder would be less likely to harm him. And honestly the cuter he acted the more innocent he’d seem and the guiltier their conscious would be. Without his watch and shoes on, his cuteness was his best weapon.

And really? He was pulling the bedtime card? Yes, it was, but he was just about to go to sleep. Not only that but the Mouris weren’t awake or here to enforce it so it didn’t matter anyway. He was technically 17 and didn’t actually need a bedtime. Well, partially, his body did get tired a lot faster when he was Conan. “Maybe, but that’s not really your business, is it, Niichan?”

This time he hadn’t been cute about it.

…Honestly he still felt uncomfortable, despite it being someone he knew. His words might be coming out a little harsher than he’d intended, but he’d just broken into his house. And he wasn’t wearing his shoes or watch. “I didn’t even come to your heist today, so just what did you come here for?”

Still a little harsher than he’d intended. He needed to work on that, it’s not like he disliked the thief or anything. He was a good person, not just a criminal. From the casual way he entered, he didn’t think he had ill intentions either… Did he need to talk about something? Then again, why here? …A case maybe? Honestly, he hoped it wasn’t…

Kid gave a light chuckle at the response. Yeah… kinda of figured he wouldn’t be the most welcomed visitor for showing up past the middle of the night…

“Hmm… maybe because I’m bored? Or would you rather prefer a solid reason for everything?” For all that he sounded laid back and at ease here, maybe trying to get his company to feel the same, the other could tell him off entirely if he seemed serious enough about it. This place technically was a danger zone, being inside a room with a detective he honestly didn’t trust not to jump for one of his gadgets, and a girl in the next room over who could knock him out cold in a heartbeat with just one blow. Yes, no shoes and watch, but this is still dangerous territory more for the non-hostile thief, tantei-kun.

…Though, if his offer for a better excuse was taken, might should come up with one. Else the honest answer would be ‘it was a whim and I decided to check if you kept your things with you while you slept, and it seems you don’t, nice to know’. Perfectly reasonable and not at all concerning, he’s sure, but a backup excuse might work better.

Frowned at sound of the agency door opening, Kogoro no doubt sneaking out to check out that new pachinko parlor now that Ran was asleep. While he silently judged the Sleeping Detective’s life choices, he shut the book in front of him. It was probably time for him to get some sleep himself.

Leaving the book on his desk for now–so that he could access it quickly when he woke up, he started heading over to his bed. He often kept his shoes on indoors despite it seeming rude because he felt vulnerable without them, especially on days where cases happened. Today’s case had been pretty bad, so he hadn’t taken them off since coming home. Well, until now, since he was going to bed.

Placed the shoes by the edge of his bed, put his watch and bowtie on his nightstand, and went to turn off the light. Heard a click just as his hand reached for the switch. Immediately turned around, seeing the intruder.

“W-what the–” Wasn’t sure who he was or what he was doing entering his room from the window, but he was not in the mood, especially since he had just taken off half of his weapons!

“N-niichan, this is my room!” Tried his best to act the part of a confused child as he edged towards his shoes. Hoping to get to them without seeming too suspicious, before he noticed the card gun in the other’s hand. His hammering heart slowed instantaneously.

An intruder, yes, but not necessarily a danger. Still didn’t know what he was doing here, maybe to return the jewel he stole tonight? Now that he placed a name to the intruder–as much of a name as he knew the other by, anyway, he noticed the faint presence he could feel whenever he was nearby. “K-KID? What the hell?”

The for-once-black clad thief simply gave a teasing smile to the chibi as he lightly closed the window some (not all the way, just in case), then took the few steps to take a seat on the bed. The card gun went into a pocket, hopefully not to be used again until he left. ‘Hopefully’ hinging on the other’s reaction to him being here.

“Aww, I think I preferred the ‘niichan’, if you’re going to curse at me tantei-kun~ Should I be worried, that some random intruder gets the cute treatment?”

Not as though said treatment worked on him, when he did know what the detective was capable of. Trust him, the aiming for the shoes didn’t go unnoticed. Tsk, tsk, tantei-kun, you knows those don’t belong in here… Though speaking of weapons, his ‘reason’ for dropping in…

A quick glance told him he’d been right that the smaller didn’t keep any of his usual on him. Hmm… not sure whether he should be relieved or worried about that, really. On the one hand, means he’s not going to be knocked out for bugging the smaller at random like this. On the other… the detective did have a tendency to attract crimes. …Not that many would try and break in a third story window to an older detective’s room though. Or mess with the martial artists if they were aware. …Pretty safe even without weapons on, now that Kid thought about it…

“And isn’t it way past your bedtime by now?”

Send a symbol and my muse will show up in your’s house at 3AM…
✯ – with a sudden urge to cuddle

He hadn’t really noticed it wasn’t his house (well, technically it was… okay, replace ‘house’ with ‘universe’) until he saw the extra shoes at the entrance. Didn’t worry about it much, though, or at all really as he grinned and went on ahead inside. He did at least know about the twins, even if he’s only spoken a couple of sentences between the two of them.

But the relative lack of direct contact didn’t stop him from hugging his double when he saw him. Working late on something? Or who knows, while he didn’t see the uniform, maybe he’d gotten back from a late heist.

“Hey~ Hope you don’t mind the surprise visit.”

It might have been considered slightly creepy to have staked out the agency after the heist. …Or, well, very creepy. Especially considering he had no clear reason to, when the others hadn’t even come to this one. Outside of their range. For the best they hadn’t come, really. Another confrontation with guns and still no red in the gem for his troubles.

Movement below disturbed the silence, and Kid glanced down at the stairs entrance to see Mouri-san leaving, chatting fairly loudly on the phone. Couldn’t imagine what could be so important that he had to leave at this time of night… But soon enough, he’s already gone down the road and the voice faded into quiet again.

Jeez… and what if someone did sneak i-… actually, nevermind. Mouri-chan is almost as good a ‘security system’ as that one guy. And not like tantei-kun can’t defend himself either.

…Well, wait, that might not be true… His ‘weapons’ weren’t really the type he could sleep with after all. Unless he felt really paranoid. Still, the thought of the chibi staring someone down with his watch held up brought a small smile. A funny image to have… even better if he had bedhead~

The thief’s grin faded as he considered, then moved from his spot. It… might be nice to know if the other does keep anything on standby. While he’s here and the ‘roommate’ out.

Not a target, currently, instead wrapped in the shadows of a plain shirt and jacket with a hat, the teen silently went around the building until he saw the window on the third floor he knew the detective should be in.

Seeing lights on in the bedroom did surprise him a moment, but didn’t take long for him to consider it might be more surprising if the other hadn’t been woken up by the older man leaving. Should be lucky the other bedroom light wasn’t on as well…

Well, I’m already here, so

Only a minute (with his card gun) to get up the right level and unlock the window, pushing it open with all the casualness in the world and stepping in the room with his poker face in place.

Totally not a creep, no, who would think that?
