saguru rappped on the magician's door sharply )
Especially when they happened to show up without calling first.
The magician's morning was further ruined when he opened the door to find one smug, blond and British detective standing there with a confident smirk decorating his features. What the heck was Hakuba up to now?
"What?" he asked flatly.

"... Are you the Kaitou Kid?"

Kaito gave the detective a flat, deadpan glare. "You idiot," he grumbled groggily, "How many times do I have to tell you--"
He stopped short. The word that was on the tip of his tongue was definitely not the answer he wanted to give. Why the heck would he say 'yes' to a question like that, especially one asked by Hakuba? That would just be giving everything away! Hadn't he tried so very hard to make sure the blond detective didn't figure out who he was?
He tried to say no again, but for some reason, he couldn't. What the heck was going on?
"Why are you asking a stupid question like that?" he magician grumbled as he purposely avoided answering the question. He'd have to figure out why he couldn't answer with a no before he even tried to address it.

Ignoring Kaito's question, opting to press forward, the detective rephrased, "Who is the Kaitou Kid, Kuroba-kun?"

Kaito's poker face had slammed down at this point, expression blank and unreadable despite the internal struggle. If he couldn't say no... did that mean he couldn't lie?
It was ridiculous. Kaito's life was built off of lies. He was a magician, an expert in the art of deception. He did nothing but lie. What was left of him if Ichihara-san had taken away that one, defining trait?
He leaned against the doorframe casually, arms crossed over his chest, mind racing. How could he get around this one...
"A phantom," he stated firmly. It was the truth, after all. And it answered Hakuba's question.

Time to try again, Kid. "Who is the person that stole the Esaki Crystal on the 23rd of May?"
Just as he asked that he saw the loophole -

"Wasn't that Kaitou Kid? I think I remember reading about it in the papers!"

"Civilian identity, Kuroba," the British detective corrected.

Saguru was going to be deathly patient with this. Never again would he get such an opportunity.

Tell the truth, as vague as possible. Dodge his questions. It was the only way he was going to get out this encounter with his mask in place. Suspicious... maybe. But with his identity in tact.

"Do you even know what the Kid's civilian identity is?"
Reply
"That's a secret."
Reply
"Correct me if I'm wrong: you know the name of KID's civilian identity."
Why was there no gap in Kuroba's defence? This was ridiculous.

"Secret," he responded again as he pushed away from the doorframe. "Are you done? I want to shower and get some breakfast before class."
((lmao, sorry, I didn't even think of Kaito's dad when I wrote this XD For the record, every question he can't dodge he's just gonna answer with 'it's a secret.' :P WHICH IS A TRUTH however suspicious it makes him look))
