Eight snapshots of what could be, what couldn't be, and what should never be in Shinichi and Kaito's relationship. Shuffle challenge. /ShinKai, oneshot-y, complete/

"Shinichi hated how pretentious this whole setup was. An independently wealthy, unemployed twentysomething man letting a grubby, possibly homeless artist into his three-story mansion and serving him tea out of imported cups? It felt so condescending that he wanted to growl in frustration." /Shinichi x painter!Kaito, AU, oneshot, complete/

Someday, Shinichi thought, he would tell Kaito everything - tell Kaito how he was the reason Shinichi's heart beat, the reason Shinichi's breath caught, the reason Shinichi couldn't sleep at night. Someday, when Shinichi wasn't on a plane to New York with a duffel bag and a recommendation to the NYPD. /ShinKai, oneshot, complete/

"We'll talk about this when you're not drunk." - Not the reaction anyone hopes for when confessing to their love interest. While completely sober. /ShinKai, oneshot, complete/

When a heist goes every kind of wrong and Kaito ends up dying in the hospital, he's given a choice. He'll be resurrected for seven days, and if he can get Shinichi to return his feelings during that time, he'll be given a second chance at life. The problem? He's wearing the face of a stranger. /ShinKai/

"I think my birthday should be the day we met. After all, that's the day my life really began." Shinichi doesn't understand what's so significant about his birthday. Kaito is confused... until he explains. /ShinKai, oneshot, complete/

Shinichi, Kaito, and a kitten. It goes about as well as you can imagine. /ShinKai, oneshot, complete/

Shinichi is a firm believer in logic - for every effect, there's a cause. But, um, it's kind of difficult to explain how he ended up in bed with Kaito. Naked. /ShinKai, oneshot, complete/

Because in Shinichi's mind, Kaito is (and always will be) seven kinds of beautiful. /ShinKai, oneshot, complete/

Shinichi is annoyed. And a little jealous. Because Kaito won't stop talking about how amazing the Kaitou Kid is, and seriously? It's as if Kid's his celebrity crush or something. /ShinKai, oneshot, complete/

Shinichi and Kaito question the appeal of kissing in the rain and decide to try it out. Together, that is. /ShinKai, oneshot, complete/

Kaito's not sure why, but he's finding anonymous notes everywhere. Who's the culprit...? /ShinKai, oneshot, complete/

"And I'd love you even if you were an insufferable phantom thief who stalked me for four days and needlessly tried to save me from three yakuza and instead just agitated his bullet wound." /ShinKai, oneshot, complete/

Of all the times and places, there HAD to be a power outage while Kaito was taking a bath at Shinichi's house. /ShinKai, [quick] oneshot, complete/

Despite his protests, Shinichi is forced into replacing Sonoko as a radio talk show host, taking questions on "Sonoko-sama's Love and Beauty Advice." Problem is, the questions are about (obviously) love and beauty, neither of which Shinichi knows anything about. Fortunately, Kid - er, the control board operator - is willing to teach him a few things. /ShinKai, oneshot, complete/
