The sound of Hakuba’s voice was Kaito’s first indication that he might have trouble that night. He blinked, turning his head to look up at his classmate in surprise, automatically scooting to the side as Hakuba had anticipated- though from Kaito’s viewpoint it was more to avoid getting sat on and having to deal with a detective in his lap than to give him permission to commandeer his seat.

“H..Hakuba?” The teen half stuttered as the detective lowered himself to the bench, blinking again before his eyes narrowed suspiciously. What was he doing here?

Once comfortably seated, Hakuba took a moment to adjust his suit before turning his attention to the piano in front of them. “Don’t tell me that you’re surprised to see me here, as well. After all, with my work in the force and my father being who he is, of course I’d be invited to attend such a function.”

The half-brit detective flexed his fingers, gently slipping them onto the keys with practiced finesse. Such feather-light touches produced no sound, but Hakuba moved his fingers as if they would, turning his head to look at the other boy with a tilted smirk. It was then that he began to play; something light and classic, high notes trilling one after another in an effortless cascade. 

“Am I to assume that you’re here as Nakamori-chan’s date?”

“Just passing by Senpai, heard you were sick recently, you should take care of yourself.” Camie smiled, nodding in thanks to the elderly woman who had walked her to his office and stepping up to his desk. “Busy as always i see?”

“Just reading this time, Camie-chan…” Hakuba pulled back from his desk and offered a smile, lifting a hardbound copy of A Christmas Carol. “I should be in bed, but wanted a bit of a change of scenery… and I know that my desk gets lonely when I don’t visit it at least once a day. And, look, I’m even wearing casual." 

…as casual as dress slacks, house slippers, and a sweatervest over collared shirt could be. At least he was lacking a tie.

"How are you doing?”

(Meme) I love you.

“Ah, Yamashita-chan… I appreciate the sentiments, believe me I do, but am unfortunately unable to return them. After all, I barely know you and, well… to be honest, I’m… ah, already interested in someone else. Please understand that it’s nothing personal, and that I wish you the best of luck in your en devours.”

Munday Post – Another Tumblr!

For Munday (it’s still monday somewhere, right?), I wanted to mention that I’ve… started another tumblr.

It’s not really an RP tumblr, though… more of a writing/ask one based on the novel that I’ve been working on. My writing group thinks that this might be the only way that I’m going to meet my deadline, since I am… quite literally addicted to tumblr and haven’t been giving it nearly enough attention lately. 

It’ll have drabbles, chapter snippets, photos for inspiration, novel progress, casting, character studies… blah blah blah. Uhm. So if you have enjoyed my writing thus far, and are interested in my original works, please click the link below!

The novel is YA, paranormal/urban fantasy. The is about 16 year-old Salmon Coal who is trying to protect/save the ghost of his (almost) girlfriend who is… haunting him. It’s something I’ve been working on for a while, and will be my 4th novel when it’s done. Clearly, I’m not published, but I’m working on that. 🙂

((Also, WhiteKnightHakuba and AskConan will not be going away or anything like that; you probably won’t even notice a difference in activity. So no worries there!))
