There are no mirrors in Shuichi’s apartment.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first thing Kaito notices. That honor goes to Shuichi’s mother, hovering over a pot in the kitchen and greeting them sincerely as they walk in. Her voice is a bit weak, but Kaito doesn’t comment on it-he’s trying to play nice, after all. Shuichi grabs a bag of fruit from the counter and leads him away.

It’s well-known gossip at school that the Minamino family is rich, particularly after his mother’s remarriage. Shuichi’s room is simple (mirror-less), but Kaito doesn’t miss the laptop and telephone lying on his bed. “Are those yours?” he asks.

Shuichi nods. “The laptop’s for class.” He walks to his desk, pulling out a chair. “Go ahead and sit, you want some fruit?” he holds the bag out, and Kaito takes a strawberry. He chews silently, and Shuichi sits on the bed, squirming a bit. “Why did you want to come here?”

“What do you mean?”

“You’re number two in the class, right after me.” Yes, Shuichi, that’s the point, he thinks. It’s amazing how someone so intelligent can be so dim. “You don’t need any help. Oh! There’s a seed on your cheek.” Kaito brushes his thumb across the left side of his face. “No, the right. No, further-“

“Do you have a mirror?” he snaps. Shuichi’s mouth closes instantly, his whole body tensing up like he’s said some sort of taboo word. Well, this is interesting. Kaito relaxes.

“The only mirror is in my mother’s bedroom,” he says. “Down the hallway, to the left.”

Kaito raises an eyebrow. “Don’t you need one to, you know-“

“I don’t like looking at myself,” Shuichi says, his voice cold and cutting. Kaito wonders how the most sought-after second-year doesn’t look at his own face, but doesn’t ask. He could use this. “Go ahead, though.” Kaito does, and calls Kido from the bathroom.
