Summary: Kaitou Kid hadn’t heard the person come up behind him…



It was a good thing that he was an expert at sneaking.

Kaitou Kid slipped in through the window of the darkened house and crept on silent feet through the hallway. He knew for a fact that the inhabitant of the home was asleep—a fact that, given the hour, was not at all outrageous, either. And he had been raised a gentleman, and a gentleman would not show such bad manners as to wake someone up in such a manner.

So he tiptoed out of the living room as quietly as possible and headed down the hallway towards his ultimate goal. The door was open, and he peered into the darkened room carefully. Seeing no one there, he slipped inside and made his way to the other side of the room, where the real prize was.

The whole situation was all too perfect. He was in, no one had noticed his presence, and so he was more or less free to do as he wished. And right now, he just needed a few minutes to search for exactly what it was that he needed…

Suddenly, the light flipped on.

Kid jumped a mile and whipped around, card gun in his hand, poised and ready to launch an Ace of Spades at whoever had managed to sneak up behind him. He hadn’t heard anyone approaching…

And he found himself face to face with the Creature from the Bathrobe Lagoon.

His mother stood in the doorway, arms folded across her chest. And she was giving him the kind of look that could freeze water. “What in the world do you think you’re doing?” she asked in a low voice.

He took a deep breath to make himself stop shaking and lowered his card gun. “I was just…ya know, getting a midnight snack…Mom—I mean, ma’am?” It belatedly occurred to him that he was still in full Kid regalia, right down the monocle…not that he’d ever deluded himself with the idea that his mother didn’t know what he was doing, but still…

She stared at him good and long and hard, with all the force of the Office of Mother behind it.

Kid began to sweat.

…and then she sighed. “Go to bed. You have school in the morning.” And she was gone, back up the stairs to return to her own bed and her own slumber, leaving him to stand there with his back pressed against the refrigerator door and his heart hammering against his ribcage.

Kaitou Kid stood motionless for a moment before shrugging and opening the fridge. Finding what he needed, he plopped down at his kitchen table and set about preparing a midnight snack for himself.

Sandwich first. Then bed.

But still, he couldn’t quite keep himself from chuckling and reflecting (not for the first time) that he really did have the world’s coolest mother.



PS. For [livejournal.com profile] magic_truth, who plunnied me with this. Thanks for reading, all. Much love!

LOL! I love it. XD Too cute and amusing. I'd wondered if he was sneaking through his own house. Kaitou Kid raiding the refridgerator and being caught by his mother. Priceless. It deserves fanart. I love Mrs. Kuroba's reaction, too. X3

Mom—I mean, ma’am?
--HEE!

Well, at least his Mom can go to bed knowing she's managed to teach him some manners at least... XDD

*looks down* My Kaitou Kid hand-puppet (what, you think these stories write themselves?) insists that he is a gentleman...despite what certain detectives with a tendency towards blondeness and/or shortness might imply :3

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

LOL. This was pretty cute, and terribly amusing. The image of Kaitou Kid pressed against the fridge, sweating is priceless. I like the idea of Kaito talking to his mother as Kaitou Kid even though she may know what he's doing.

XD Yo.

[livejournal.com profile] insaneladybug was telling me about the drabble and I thought it was rather amusing, so I had her link me.

The toughest opponent = mother thing never gets old for any tough guy.

X3 It's probably the icon I'm most proud of right now.

I hope I'll eventually be able to do comic Kid things like this. I've only written one fanfic about him, but it and all the ideas I get are so anngstyyyy.

Wow... o.o *makes note to thank [livejournal.com profile] insaneladybug* ^__^ Thank you, too! My Kid fics...I tend more towards either angst/drama, or more fluffy stuff (usually featuring Aoko). For some reason, I can't manage much comedy with this guy ^^;;

I'm twenty-one years old, and my mother totally pwns me =P Photoshop also pwns me, so I'm not very good at making cool icons like that--so I have to steal them from other people. But I've seen your icons around--they're awesome!

Yup, I was directed here by a friend after the interesting summary of a midnight fridge raid. *Bows* Glad of be of your acquaintance, ojousan.

And I'm afraid Kuroba-kaasan will always be one ahead of Kid. That woman is formidable.

I am pleased to meet you as well--I've seen you around the fandom in various places :D Honored to have ya.

That's a mother's job, I think--to always be one step ahead of their offspring. Heck, I'm twenty-one and my mom still dances in rings around me. I want to be just like her when I grow up!

Ah yes, I've been here and there. Got to keep tabs on the Kid fandom somehow. I believe you're more of a lurker? I've seen your name on members lists, but no so much posting on the comms.

Ehhehehe.... I'm afraid kaasan will always be dancing rings around me. And I'm sure your mother's a cool woman if you want to be just like her!

Hmmm...I hang around on some of the comms, occasionally comment, but I rarely post simply because I don't really have anything to post ^^;; I do post sometimes on [livejournal.com profile] manycases1truth. Kinda wish they'd do another fic-swap...

Hey, someone's gotta keep you in line, right? And Aoko can't be there all the time, so it must fall to somebody else ^_^ And yes, my mother is pretty much the coolest person on the planet :D

Ahh, that's one comm I actually never joined. And, surprisingly, I'm also not in the Magic Kaito one either. I think it was due to the lack of activity that turned me away from both communities. The way I saw it, one was representative of most of the members already.

*Grimaces* Aoko can be there a lot of the times though, but thankfully she no longer swings a mop. You can't always have a handy mop around either...

And I'd hate to argue with a lady, but if I allowed you to say your mother is the coolest person, it would be unfair to kaasan. *Winks* So let's settle for saying she's one of the coolest people, while my kaasan is one of the coolest as well.
