Kaito smiled at her and crossed to her.
“This looks amazing and don’t worry about us anymore tonight, Baaya-chan. I think we can handle ourselves for at least a little while. So go enjoy your show. I heard tonight’s episode was one you didn’t want to miss anything of” He leaned towards her just a bit and whispered just loud enough for Hakuba to hear. “and besides I think you deserve a break taking care of him all the time.” He winked at her.
The detective blushed, both from the compliment on the cake, and for the comment about his need for care. It was true enough that Baaya did much for him; without her, he would be missing much of whatever emotional stability he had. But while he appreciated his governess, Hakuba was quite convinced that he could take care of himself, thank you.
Nevertheless, rubbing the back of his neck, he didn’t complain as Baaya chuckled, reaching to squeeze Kaito’s shoulder with a smile.
“I think you might be right, Kuroba-kun,” she said, voice warm like sun-baked leather. “You’ll take care of him for me, then, won’t you?”
Hakuba grimaced. “Baaya…”
But it only made her laugh again. "Gordon Ramsay is waiting, Young Master! I’ll check on you later.“ The old woman gave Kaito a wink and made for the door.
