Blink blink. Stare. Slow, uneasy frown. Face flushed with color.
“You… and I? Ah…” He cast a wary glance to the side, considering. “…I, ah, well. But, wait, how does Hattori fit into this? I can’t imagine how drunk i’d have had to have been to… do… /anything/ with /him/… if we’re referring to the same sorts of…?”
Hakuba’s frown deepened. To have done /things/ with Kid and not remember? After all this time and…? He bit his lip again. And /Hattori/???
“You are seriously beginning to concern me, Kaitou-san… ah, I… I wish I… ah, no, this has to be some kind of a prank. God, I would remember if I had gone out with /you/. I would. I’ve (almost) never been /that/ drunk before… surely… Ah, come off it, just… ah…” Clearly anxious, Hakuba bit his lip and fished for his pocket notebook for some answers. “Let’s see here, ah.. when was the, ah, alleged adventure in question? And what, specifically did we supposedly do?”
“… … …Ah. Is… is that so? Ah. … Really, though, I surely would remember /something/ about this! I mean, hah, this is just ridiculous, right? Why would I do… ah, what I mean to say is, there’s /no way/ I would… I mean, you’re Hattori. And.. just, no. No.”
“Good God, you can’t be serious. Why would…? I mean, I can see myself going and drinking with Hattori, certainly… and I can imagine sharing a bottle of wine with you, but the two of you and myself out and about…? And wh-what, pray tell, do you mean by…? Ah…. wh… hah, you’re just joking with me, surely. Since when did you two become partners in comedy?”
“Ah… I think I would remember /that/. No, I’ve been drinking alone, thank you… after that night of drunk texting I have been very careful. Just what are you going on about, Hattori?”

askkaitokid: “No one gets hurts during my heists (aside from Nakamori-Keibu’s rising blood pressure)! Feelings included.” ((Cue gross sobbing from Hakuba and Hakumun. Omg thank you. ;-; We are trying I promise. Things will be okay. Just been a rough patch but we are Super High School Level DETERMINED!
From the Desk of S. J. Hakuba: @askkaitokid
KID hung up the phone and sat back on his chair with arms crossed in front of his chest. ‘More sophisticated’? Ha! Just because Hakuba goes around jesting with a pocket watch and notebook in hand doesn’t mean he is sophisticated! After all, /he/ was the Magician under the Moonlight! The Gentleman Thief!
But enough of that. A mischievous smile crossed KID’s face. He casually walked to his kitchen cabinet, making sure to grab the cheapest packet of tea leaves (it must have been a freebie from school, he couldn’t remember), the bottle of vinegar that he haven’t touched for months, and a dozen sugar cubes. If tea was what that Brit wanted, then tea he will get!
Several minutes later, Baaya dropped Hakuba off (his car was still in the shop, though the mechanics were fairly certain that it was totaled and there was no hope of restoration) in front of the Kuroba residence. He brought with him not the medical field bag, but a box of chocolates, and carried these with a smug smirk right up to the door to knock. Oh ho, what a clever trick, bringing a gift for the naughty thief~!
