If Hakuba will ever find out about the Apotoxin 4869.

I’ve had several timelines in mind where Hakuba does discover who Conan is (indeed, this Hakuba’s ‘official’ storyline will include knowing the truth behind Conan at some point), and often teams up with Haibara to work on the antidote. He being a scientist and all, himself…  not to the level of Shiho, of course, but he definitely has good resources available and makes a fantastic assistant.

He shook his head sleepily and buried his nose in the neck. Just to get a good whiff of the man scent. That was comforting to him. Calm , familiar scents. Smiling against the soft skin he felt sleep finally start to take him over.

“I’m happy your here, Hakuba. So happy.” He mumbled and drifted deeper into sleep.

Hakuba tucked his chin so that he could watch him as he fell asleep, concern for the moment outweighing the logic trains his mind took in the background. Arms held round with fingers laced to keep them there, he leaned back a little, attempting to get comfortable so that he, too, could get some much-needed rest.

“I’m… happy, too,” he offered in a whisper, and sleepily wondered how this whole thing had come about. It was so vastly different than what he’d expected. But then, this was Kuroba Kaito he was talking about, and he was anything but predictable. 

Before long, Hakuba was asleep, too.

☆; I’m really sad they got rid of the red quality to Akako’s hair…. and the slight change in eye shape… and the hair shape– ithinkIlikedtheoriginalstylebetter

((So do I. I think we’re all in agreement. But, promotional/concept art is often a million times worse than the actual production stuff, so we can hope… after all, the stuff they have there is really inconsistent as-is, and looks like it would be hella annoying to animate. We’re also seeing huge variances in color between the same drawings of official art in different publications… Another magazine had Hakuba’s hair this really ugly NEON YELLOW color… so who knows what we’ll end up getting in the end?))

Hakuba stepped off of the curb and into the street, barely acknowledging the bus as it sped past him, leaving his long coat to flutter in its wake behind him. He gave a cursory glance to the left, then right, then continued through the traffic without so much as a flinch. His gaze was trained on one thing from that point; the brown paper package in the exact center of the six lane road. Rush hour. The blaring horns and screeching tires did little to deter him from continuing his pursuit. Indeed, if this was a test of his bravery, determination, or stupidity, he would pass with flying colors. He would not show fear, not for this Moriarty or any other to come.

The stern and reserved expression did not betray his wildly beating heart or sweaty palms as he bent to retrieve the package, though he paled somewhat at its weight. It could contain anything. But he did not have time to examine it now, turning to make his way through skidding cars to the other side of the busy street.

Kaito grinned and climbed in after. He stretched out fully against the other and nestled his head in the crook or Hakuba’s neck. Sighing he relaxed and wound he legs with the other’s as his hand slipped under and around Hakubas chest and waist. “Perfect~”

Well then. This was rather… intimate.  Hakuba blinked several times as Kaito made himself comfortable, looking down at him with an expression that was a mix between morbid curiosity and confusion. But… at least Kaito looked comfortable, which was important for recovering from that sort of thing. 

“Not too much pressure on your leg, I hope?” was all he could think of to ask, loosely draping his arms over his back to hold him there. 

((Yes, that was yet another post brought to you by the wonders of ambien. Also, although my typing becomes terrible while on ambien, it is nothing compared to trying to use the swipe keyboard on my phone with auto-correct. OMG.))
