Kiss Me

15. “Kiss me.”

Kaito giggled, but under his physical and emotional masks, he was anything but amused. It was just his luck that Hakuba had been invited to the same party he was investigating for a future heist. And that the detective had found his female disguise attractive.

He wouldn’t have thought that Hakuba, introverted and distanced, was this flirtatious. Well, the alcohol probably helped. The detective’s face was reddening, and his speech was becoming less coherent.

“Hakuba-san, I think you’ve had a little too much to drink. Why don’t we go find somewhere quiet to relax?” He guided the other away from the main ballroom, hiding a wince at the pain that came from a long time standing in 4-inch heels.

Then he noticed a little nook in the wall, with a cushioned bench under a window that looked out over the city, and he got an idea. An idea that would get him seriously injured if the detective ever found out.

“Let’s sit here, Hakuba-san.” He pulled Hakuba down and sat next to him. Arms went around, pulling the detective close. “Kiss me,” he whispered, lips brushing the other’s ear.

The situation was entirely dangerous for the both of them, but for very different reasons. This sort of thing was something that the detective was used to; it was always these sorts of parties that he found his conquests at, and most of his dirty little secrets stayed safe within the walls of high societal convention. And here Hakuba found himself who he believed was a beautiful woman, emanating some sort of familiar air that he couldn’t quite place, very interested in what he had to offer. 

Everything was warm and wonderful. The alcohol had been good to him, pulling out and shedding the anxieties, letting him focus on the hunt. He felt incredible, and those arms around him, the mouth to his ear, thrilled him. 

He pulled away from ‘her,’ but only enough to look at her face, gaze studying those eyes in front of him before he smiled a wicked smile. “All right,” Hakuba said, so calm and so confident as he leaned in to kiss the thief in disguise.

But it wasn’t just a simple peck, either; unless stopped, the detective moved in with a kiss that was open-mouthed and passionate. Not reckless, though, or even excessive. Brief, no more than four seconds long, but with very clear intent. 

Things could easily go very bad very quickly.

♛:Sharing a dessert

“Ooh, thank you!” Kaito studied the dish in front of them- this wasn’t what he was expecting when Hakuba invited him over- interrogation, DNA or blood tests, but not dessert. “Though, I see two spoons: Planning to share?”

“It’s far too much for me to eat myself, and you’re the only one I know that can stomach this much chocolate.” If there were ulterior motives for the invitation, the detective didn’t seem interested in letting them be known. Regardless, he slid one of the spoons over to his classmate, then looked back to the dessert in question. 

“This, Kuroba-kun, is what happens when I’m left alone in the house on the weekends with no cases. Triple chocolate sundae cake with fudge and caramel sauce. I couldn’t decide what to bake, so I made… several things and put them all together. It’s beautiful and I’m certain it will be delicious, but it would definitely kill me if I were to tackle it on my own.”

Whisper {why am I RPing during a Physics lecture?}

(Probably because that’s a GREAT time to be RPing!!! :D)

It really had been a night for bad decisions. The detective had made his deduction perfectly clear, yes, and Nakamori-keibu had actually listened to him for once, but nothing had gone right at all. Especially not, when overcome with frustration at the ‘I told you sos’ from the other Task Force members, he’d struck out on his own to try to reclaim something of his dignity. And while he found the thief again with relative ease enough to surprise him, what surprised him more was that his first impulse was to kiss the damned guy.

Which he did, the moment he slapped the handcuffs on him. 

Blushing furiously, Hakuba tore his gaze away and whispered, “You were a mistake.”

“Your Detective burned in the fire.”

“My… detective…?” There had been a fire at the heist- soot marked the white of his clothes- but everyone had gotten out okay… right?

He gasped, remembering that he’d seen a certain blond before it broke out… but not after.

Hakuba! Panic started to bubble in the thief. He didn’t consider the Brit to be ‘his detective’, but he did care about him. 

That idiot, he got himself killed- he took a deep breath. Calm, Kuroba. They only said that he burned. That doesn’t mean he’s dead. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the cellphone he used as KID.

Please be okay, please be okay. He quickly dialed Nakamori’s number. He would know about any casualties.

When he heard the inspector’s voice, he lowered his own.

“Good evening, keibu. I heard rumors that someone was hurt in the fire tonight?”

Whether or not Nakamori-keibu had all of the answers, he would at least have some. Cleanup crews and firemen were still combing through the mess, putting out the remaining fire, clearing out the debris. It had been difficult to get under control once it had really gotten underway, but the determination of those rescue workers was indomitable. People had been hurt, though most had been recovered with only minor burns and other injuries. The worst had already been sent on, save for the one or two that they were still looking for that may or may not have even been on location at the time.

One of which was, in fact, young detective Hakuba Saguru. 

Not that the inspector was going to give all of that information to a random caller on the phone– especially not someone that sounded suspiciously like the Kaitou KID who had been one of the instigators of the whole mess. “Not right now! Can’t you see I’m busy?!” He barked at the phone, agitated and tired from the events of the night. It had been bad enough to lose to KID yet again, but to also lose the Superintendent General’s son? Even if their jobs weren’t on the line, he had a certain affection for the arrogant brat, and as much as he wished he could kick him off of the task force, he had to admit that he was useful. 

Even if he wasn’t, he hadn’t wanted him to die. 

Part of the inspector wanted to hang up the phone and throw it to the ground in frustration, while another wanted to trace the call and try to –  there was no time for that. Not now. “We’re still sorting out the debris! Don’t call this line unless you have information!" 

Nakamori hung up, but managed to get the phone in his pocket before he completely lost his temper, and took it out on one of his officers instead. He yelled, they scurried, and everyone kept working, all hoping that they could find the teenager – if he was even there – in salvageable shape. 

Fortunately for them, Hakuba was alive…

…he just wasn’t doing very well. 

Being buried under drywall and cubical partitions had not been a fun experience. Not that Hakuba was really aware of it, unconscious as he was, but it had hurt at the time. Rubble from level above and subsequent furniture had torn apart the ground beneath the detective earlier, during the apex of the fire. Although it had cost him some broken ribs and serious bruises, it had very likely saved his life. The burns were minimal and the concrete had made a sort of tent, affording Hakuba a small amount of trapped air to breathe. He was still bleeding, yes, but the situation was very much ‘salvageable.’ At least, so long as they were able to find him under all of the damage soon.

“Maybe… but you’re not making much sense either.”

“When did I say that KID’s notes are mine? I said ‘the notes’!”

“…”

It took a moment for the detective to pull back the colorful language that immediately sprung to mind, and he licked his lips before continuing, expression dry, voice flat.

“Please believe me that I have prayed to be wrong about you being KID. Earnestly, even. It would give me so much pleasure to be chasing almost anyone else, because even I have difficulty believing, from time to time, that you could be the Kaitou KID. Just how is it that you can be so unbelievably obnoxious as yourself, and so incredibly suave as the phantom thief?”

“…honestly, either you’re a brilliant mastermind or I’ve completely lost it. I know that I’m right, which leaves the conclusion that you must be vastly talented, hence my respect and interest, but GOD I despise you equally as much as I admire you.”
