He fell asleep counting the space between their breaths, and woke when there was nothing to reset. The bed was still heavy beside him, sheets pulled to the right, but silent. He held his breath. Nothing. Just cold recognition. There had been no hope. Not with a wound like that and the refusal to see a doctor. He’d done what he could and held him to wait out the night. Kaito hadn’t even lasted that long. 05:12:33. The watch draped the monocle and the detective curled closer, choking back a sob.

“Kuroba-kun?” Hakuba asked for he third time, brows creased with concern as he shook the other boy’s shoulder. There was no response. Vitals were checked, confirmed, time of death noted through a blurred veil of tears. He wanted to scream. To make demands. To try any and everything to bring him back. But he knew that it was too late. All of his training confirmed that. There was nothing he could do but pull the other boy into his arms and weep, waiting for their promised backup to arrive.

“…Hakuba.” Kaito states, not knowing what else to do.

The thief grinned, swooping down on Hakuba the moment the blonde returned home. Hands grasped the detective’s cheeks and before he had a chance to protest or move away, lips descended upon lips, softly, firmly, gently, for but a few moments, before they pulled away, just slightly, breath ghosting over Hakuba’s mouth. “I just thought I’d drop by for a quick visit,” KID snickered quietly and winked. And then he stepped back as pink smoke covered his form and not even a second later, he was gone.

The detective practically swooned where he stood in the wake of that phantom thief, letting out a long, contented sigh. There was never a way to really predict when he’d strike; apparently, heist notes were only stealing precious stones, not hearts.
