Chapter Seven: Alone Inside
To be alone is to be different, to be different is to be alone.
-Suzanne Gordon
Saguru stepped closer to the milky white mirror, watching the black figure sliding round and round on the shining surface. Metal blades cut into the ice as he stepped onto it, eyes never leaving Kaito, drinking in each movement the boy made.
Kaito's movements were slow, graceful. He pushed his leg back into an arabesque, sliding easily around the rink as his right foot moved forward, wrapping around his left to touch the ice, body spinning gracefully before leaning forward as his left leg moved back into a second arabesque.
Saguru moved slowly forward, barley pushing, simply gliding, turning his feet to follow Kaito as the boy started picking up speed, skating a backwards U around Saguru before suddenly taking to the air, a black raven spinning.
The detective watched, turning along with the other boy, counting the rotations or 'axles'. Three. A triple.
Kaito landed and white flared out behind him. In between one blink and the next, Kaito was gone and Kid was standing there, sliding towards the detective, taking Saguru's hand as he passed, pulling him along.
“You can't ice skate,” Saguru breathed and pulled on the hand around his.
Kid smiled, turning smoothly, falling back as Saguru pulled. He wrapped an arm around the blond's waist, skating easily backwards, feet falling in rhythm to his partner's. “I know,”
Saguru wrapped an arm around Kid's waist, staring down into those violet eyes, pushing his partner across the ice, their movements both slow and quick, alternating as needed. Each turn, each spin sent the world around them into a blur, colouring the air as he continued his staring contest.
“Why do you do this to me?” Saguru asked, turning them to the left, opposite the direction they had been moving, using their speed to adjust to the abrupt change of direction.
Kid closed his eyes to block out the nausea surfacing from the constant changing background. “Do what, Tantei-san?” he asked softly, opening his eyes again and instead of the background, focusing on Saguru's nose.
“Confuse me.” Saguru said before leaning Kid backwards. The thief's leg moved upwards, still following Saguru's, which was now in an arabesque. He would have awnsered, except his lips were suddenly stilled, Saguru's sliding over them easily.
To be alone is to be different, to be different is to be alone.
