His eyes were decorated with crows feet and he had smile lines on his cheeks, years and years of expressions of joy leaving their mark.
And still, he was beautiful.
His body had grown soft, the by-product of retiring from heists and something called ‘no longer having the metabolism of a teenager.’ A body that was still strong, though with a little more to hold.
And still, he was attractive.
His hair was just as wild as ever, but his temples now had flecks of gray, more than a few of which were probably from Shinichi himself after a few close calls during a case.
And still, he was handsome.
He still loved to bring magic and wonder to everyone around him. He was still quick with a joke, sometimes at the expense of his loved ones, but he was never cruel. He still had the biggest heart of anyone Shinichi knew. His kisses still made Shinichi’s knees go weak, his words could still bring a blush to his face. The way he wrapped his arms around Shinichi’s waist, holding tightly and possessively, still made his heart race. And when he would hold Shinichi’s hand across the table, admiring their rings with a soft look, smiling like he was the happiest man in the world, Shinichi would feel his heart swell.
And still, for all of these reasons, and so many more, Shinichi loved him.
