Pride and Obligation

smokebombsandmirrors:

He nodded. “Bedroom. Upstairs first door to the left. Be careful Shiori might be in there, he tends to hog pillows.”

He yawned and stretched out like a cat in one long move that brought his arms over his head and shifted the shirt up slightly. Shiori was a male Diamond dove and temperamental at best Kaito only used him for comedy cause he always did what he wanted. It caused some pretty good scenes when done right. 

“I’ll be sure to watch out for that…” Hakuba said, a little distracted as he watched the other teen stretch on the couch. It took him a couple of seconds to remember what he was doing, and he pulled away with a hard swallow, chiding himself for looking a little too long. Yes, he was tired, and yes, he was a little inebriated, but it was no excuse.

Up the stairs he went, following the directions to the aforementioned bedroom. The pathway was littered with dangerous temptation – so much to see and explore! – but he did his best to ignore it in favor of, hopefully, getting some sleep soon. That didn’t stop him from looking around the bedroom – KUROBA KAITO/KAITOU KID’S BEDROOM! – as he quietly padded barefoot to the bed, watching out for the foretold Shiori as he went for the pillows. Two would be sufficient, wouldn’t they?

No like seriously he tells me about how they need to do a low angle shot of Kirigiri, who is certainly wearing a short skirt, and he’d get her a long jacket, and assures me that he just KNOWS that her fingernails shine like justice….

Every time Cake’s ‘short skirt long jacket’ comes on the radio during morning commute, Hakuba tells me he needs to direct a music video about the badass women of his life.

Apparently, the main feature will be colleague and ‘beauty detective’ detectivephiliac – Kirigiri Kyouko.

(Others mentioned were Emi, Aki, Ran, Akako, Souda, Jeanne, Vermouth, Sonoko, Fujiko (?!), Reiko, Eri, Yukiko, Shizuka, Miyu, Mitzi, Satou, Sera, Laura, and honorable mention to Aoko and Kazuha… while Marion and Baaya ask if they’re chopped liver.)

OOC

I owe a million replies and things, and have everything in drafts – I think. Plus kisses for Kaitous and Hattoris and Kudous. I, unfortunately, have to go to sleep now (let’s hope I actually DO sleep), but will work on everything when I get home tomorrow evening.

Do I owe you a starter? Want me to start a thread? Let me know!

The sound of his laughter was endearing and she found herself relaxing a bit. The feeling of embarrassment for what she’d done was slowly seeping away with the redness from her cheeks. He’d said he liked her behavior, something she hadn’t been expecting. A short thank you tumbled from her lips as well and she leaned into his sudden caress, enjoying the contact he made with her.

“You’re welcome.” She bit her lower lip, twiddling her fingers for a moment as though she were wondering just what to do with them. Finally deciding to rest them upon his shoulders, she smiled at him. “You wouldn’t want to try that again, would you?”

Hakuba let himself look at the hands on his shoulders, movements subtle, though his smile quirked at one corner. Bemused, he tilted his head at her, searching her face for a hint of her demeanor or experience. There was no denying that Mouri Ran had several qualities about her that made her absolutely attractive, but he couldn’t help wonder if she was also just a little too naive for him. 

Then again, everyone was at some point in their lives. She was vetted around crime scenes, clearly brave enough to kiss someone who was nearly a perfect stranger, and experienced enough with her craft to defend herself whenever necessary. The things he’d heard about her held up well in person. Even so, he felt like a wolf preying on an innocent lamb.

“Try it again?” he asked, voice soft and interested, keeping his gaze locked on her face as if she were the only other person in the world. “A kiss, you mean?  I couldn’t deny such a request from you, if that is what you truly wish, Mouri-chan.”

“Oh, you’re too generous, detective,” Sylwen grinned, slyly, idly tapping his lips with a finger. “Then, if I may be so bold— ah, unless you’d prefer something other than a kiss~?”

Hakuba laughed, shaking his head as he looked the thief over, slipping a hand up to his own hip in a confident, almost posturing, pose. "I think that a kiss will do just fine, my cunning little feline; one kiss, and that’s all that you’ll get from me without having to steal it.”

Even though he knew better than to challenge the thief, the detective couldn’t resist. Something about Sylwen seemed to make everyone just a tad bit crazy. He stepped forward, reaching his other hand for the thief’s chin, and leaned in to give the requested kiss. Assuming the criminal didn’t flee, he hoped that it would leave quite the impression; open-mouthed, heated, and with just a little bit of a bite to his lower lip. Short, yes, but by no means chaste.

   ”I don’t know about a water source, but there’s an alley where a bunch of strays gather.” He wasn’t about to admit that he had sneaked into the alley more than once just to pet the homeless hounds — he couldn’t help it, he was just as much of a sucker for dogs as Hakuba was.

   Skipping back a few steps, he tugged at the taller detective’s sleeve.

   ”Come on. It’s this way. If it’s not there, we can look at the park.”

Oh, god, Edogawa-kun was cute.

Hakuba’s smile only broadened as he nodded, allowing the boy to lead him wherever he wanted to take him. “That sounds like the perfect place to begin looking, yes… brilliant idea, Conan-kun! It’s no wonder that you’re so well-spoken of. I imagine we’ll have this mystery solved in no time at all.”

To say that this was one of the foreign detective’s dreams would be an understatement; he could think of nothing better than to spend the afternoon with such a bright and helpful young detective.

“…"  He was about to protest, but realised that he actually was thinking just that and started grinning. "You know what, I think I actually do and I found it rather amusing. I think Kaitou KID will be amused as well. But Hakuba-kun, what are you going to do if he actually takes you up on it?” He kept back the chuckle that tried to escape, but he didn’t fully hide his amusement.

“What, do you suppose that I shouldn’t wish to enjoy such a thing for myself? I’ve heard such wonderful things from his fanclub…”  Hakuba laughed, brow quirking as he regarded Kaito with a challenging smirk. “If he’s really all that good at kissing, I certainly want to know.”

Ai had been yelling at Agasa again for sneaking sweets into his laboratory so he could eat them while working. She noticed the lack of food inside the cupboards. She made a mental reminder to buy ingredients for stew later,

But for now she just needed to go on a walk,

She had ensured that ‘Agasa’s Secret Stash’ was hidden where he couldn’t find it…for now. She let out a huff as she got outside the gate.
She looked left and right, you never know when someone is just going to pop out of nowhere. But instead of Gin, Vodka, Vermouth, she just saw a blonde man standing in front of the Kudou Residence. She walked up to him,

“Oh, if you’re looking for Kudou-kun he’s out on a case.” She said in her usual monotone voice.

The little voice caught Hakuba’s attention, drawing him out of his concentrated train of thought. “Ah- what? Pardon?” Blinking, he glanced down at her and hesitated for approximately 2.333- seconds before his mouth broke out into a wide and pleasant smile. 

“Oh! You’re Haibara Ai, aren’t you? One of the infamous Detective Boys. You’re staying with Agasa-Hakase, if I’m not mistaken…” He then bowed, formal and polite. “A pleasure to finally meet you in person. I’m Hakuba Saguru, a detective not unlike Kudou-kun himself.”

The thief managed to hold back a laugh of his own at the other turning away. Colours might not be well seen at night, but it’s hard to ignore a darkening face.

“Hadn’t been planning on it,” he answered, shrugging slightly, “Just wanted to check in with you. But it’s not like I have any particular reason to have to leave either, so if you wanted me to… I wouldn’t mind staying.”

He tilted his head and grinned, tone becoming more teasing.

“Just so long as you wouldn’t try to catch me while I’m here, tantei-san.~”

“Well…”  Hakuba said, laughing with wincing smile. “Considering that I find myself to be quite naked, I can’t imagine where I’d be handing handcuffs; I do believe that you’re safe, Kaitou-san." 

He cleared his throat with a tiny cough into his fist, and glanced to his closet. "Though, if… if you do wish to stay- and it would be welcomed, I assure you -I should really get dressed. I wouldn’t want to make things any more awkward than they already are. And, incidentally…” He turned back to him, biting his lower lip hopefully. “…if you could avoid mentioning this little incident, I would… appreciate it."
