He sighed and scooted closer to the sleeping blond beside him, eyes opening slowly to watch the gentle rise and fall of his chest, before trailing upwards, resting on the serene expression on his face. No nightmares tonight, then. Letting out a soft breath, Kaito shifted just a little nearer, lips brushing a light kiss to the detective’s jaw, nuzzling against his neck.
A hand reached out to place itself right over Hakuba’s heart, the gentle ‘thud’ just below his palm making the softest of a smile tug at the magician’s lips, warmth and utter affection and love flooding his chest. He closed his eyes.
His.
Hakuba was his and he was Hakuba’s and there was nothing in the world he’d ever do to change that. He loved him. More than he’d thought he’d ever love anyone and if he could have him by his side, if he could stay by Hakuba’s side, then—
In a moment of sudden impulse, Kaito leaned closer, tilting his head to whisper and press a smiling kiss to the curve of his detective’s ear.
“Marry me.”
