[Muse: Tinsel, Holly, Hot Cocoa]

Tinsel: What perfume/cologne do you wear? 

image

“Lately I’ve been favoring Classic Old Spice cologne… mostly because it’s similar to what I normally wear at home in London, but is actually obtainable in Japan. I suppose I could go through the effort of importing but… nah, I’ll just pick up anther bottle when I head home in the next few months.”

Holly: Who was the last person you sent a letter to?

image

"Ah, my dear friend Suzuki Sonoko… we’ve gotten into the habit of being sort of pen pals over the past couple of years, though neither of us are terribly diligent at keeping up with it… particularly as she has a boyfriend and all, now. I think she’s been saving her stationary for him.”

Hot Cocoa: What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

image

“About myself? Ah… perhaps it’s my uncanny ability to walk circles around just about any topic or question and not actually end up giving a straight answer whatsoever." 

“Hey Daddy, can I come with you to solve the case? Mommy is busy working in the lab.” asked the little 7 year old girl. She was half British and half Japanese. She had strawberry blonde hair like her mother and brown eyes like her father.

“Oh, you want to come with me, sweetheart?” Hakuba glanced at his wrist watch, then over toward the door to the lab. Hmm. “Well, I suppose you could, but I’m fairly certain that you don’t have your police badge yet. How about you help me make some tea for your dear darling mum, and we’ll use it to coax her from her work, hmmm~?”

“When is daddy coming home, both of you promised to watch a movie with me.” The young boy stood on his tiptoes to see over his fathers desk, his appearance mostly Japanese. Blue eyes and black hair reminiscent of his tengu father with just a bit of British features showing through from Hakuba’s own genes.

“Oh, I suspect that he’ll be along in the next hour or so. We should really get dinner ready for him though, hm~? Security is very serious business, you know. He’ll likely be very hungry. But!” He closed his current case file and pushed back from his desk to stand, walking around to take the eager boy’s hand. “Once that’s all sorted, we’ll watch whatever you’d like. Have you picked something out yet?" 

Uh uh me for the ship thing I guess or you know if you want to that is

Mun’s Theories:

who cooks normally?:  Emi. They’re both good at it, but Emi gets to cook and be brilliantly wonderful at it. Hakuba saves his cooking skills for special occasions… like Emi’s birthday, or Saturday mornings. And they cook together for guests. 

how often do they fight?: Hmm. There’s a lot of playful teasing, but not a lot of fighting. Communication is something that they have worked out pretty well. When they do fight, though, it never lasts very long. 

what do they do when they’re away from each other?: Work… think about each other… write silly emails… forward photos of cats… 

nicknames for each other?:  Honemi (like honey + emi and said like ‘mon ami’). Sugaru (sugar + roo, a play on his name). 

who is more likely to pay for dinner?: Hakuba. He would insist. 

who steals the covers at night?: No cover stealing unless one of them is ill. They usually curl up close and have so many quilts on the bed it doesn’t even matter. All bets are off when sick, though. 

what would they get each other for gifts?: Books. Postcards for places they want to go. Flowers, chocolates, eclairs, jewelry, clothing, etc… they could easily spoil each other rotten, I think. 

who remembers things?: Both. And have each other shared on their calendar and give gentle nudging for reminders. ‘Don’t forget we’re going to Cairo that week, dear; stop overbooking client appointments so much.’ and ‘do we need to reschedule our weekly out-date? You’ve got that big deadline coming up; I’d hate for you to miss it.’ etc

who cusses more?:  Emi. Mostly to shock Hakuba, I’d guess. Equal amounts when there is legitimate danger, perhaps trying to up the ante and ease the tension. It’s a painkiller, you know!  

what would they do if the other one was hurt?: Tender loving care surrounded by tough talk. ‘Pft, just a scratch; I’m all right, darling’, ‘hah this is nothing compared to that run-in with those blokes in black, is it?’, ‘naaah’

who kissed who first?: Hakuba kissed Emi first. Well, they sort of kissed each other first, after their, what, fourth date? He was so nervous because he knew it would change things for them. 

who made the first move?: Hakuba. After several more dates, AND after they became officially an item. He was even more nervous because it would REALLY change things, but then, by that point, he was too hopelessly head over heels. It was very clumsy, but ended up being great once he stopped being quite so nervous.

who started the relationship?: Hakuba. Because a kiss here and there are and casual dating just wasn’t enough. 

Hakuba’s Thoughts:

“She’s so far out of my league, it’s not even funny.” 

I know your not doing this anymore but had a sudden urge to see SHIPPING MEME WITH CAMIE/HAKUBA~

Mun’s Theories:

who cooks normally?: Camie cooks, Hakuba bakes. 

how often do they fight?: Only during the month of October, usually. Otherwise, it’s Hakuba whining about Camie’s little pranks. 

what do they do when they’re away from each other?: Work. As usual.

nicknames for each other?:  Camsel and Senpai.

who is more likely to pay for dinner?: Hakuba. He would insist. 

who steals the covers at night?: I’m going to say Camie. Mostly because Hakuba usually curls up on his side and doesn’t move much during the night. 

what would they get each other for gifts?: Books and flowers and candy and journals and things. 

who remembers things?: They share the responsibility, but seem to remember very different things. 

who cusses more?:  Hakuba, generally, but Camie can put him to shame when she wants to.  

what would they do if the other one was hurt?: A lot of guilt-tripping, I think. Chastise each other for getting into danger and being dumb, even for things like paper cuts. 

who kissed who first?: Camie stole a kiss on a dare, which surprised Hakuba greatly.   

who made the first move?: Camie, because Hakuba was too much of a wuss. 

who started the relationship?: Hakuba, with a bit of reassurance and peptalks. 

Hakuba’s Thoughts:

“Camie-chan is a very nice girl, but I already know that she’s taken. I enjoy our friendship as it is now, though I’m concerned about her… I don’t think she’s as happy and carefree as she claims to be.” 

Hakuba and Masumi Sera

Mun’s Theories:

who cooks normally?: Somehow, I see Sera as the one being too busy to cook, so Hakuba would happily take care of that. (Is this the answer that I write every time? Geez Hakubby likes cooking, apparently.) BUT if she wanted to, she of course could. He’s not going to doubt her ability. Actually, they could cook together. That would be really cute. 

how often do they fight?: Probably not too much, actually. Oddly enough. Bickering here and there, perhaps, but I can easily see Hakuba being whipped in this relationship. She yells sometimes and he just lets her rant it out and then calmly makes suggestions when she’s done. 

what do they do when they’re away from each other?: SOLVE ALL OF THE CASES. Hakuba drinks a lot more tea when he’s not with her, too. Something about loud Americans not understanding… 

nicknames for each other?:  Goodness. ‘Yank’ for Sera (omg) and ‘Prat’ for Hakuba. That is so mean. Guys, stop that. How about something like… Violent Violet? No wait, that’s not good, either! Wait, wait, wait, I’ve got it:  Pantheress for Sera, Sea Horse for Hakuba. omfg stop nevermind I give up they’re not allowed to have nicknames for each other

who is more likely to pay for dinner?: They’d totally fight over it every time. 

who steals the covers at night?: SERA… at first. But then Hakuba would steal them right back. And so on and so forth until they either go coverless or curl up ogether. 

what would they get each other for gifts?: Subtle jewelry (bracelets, necklaces), flowers, books… but mostly consumables like chocolate or dinner or tickets to that thing you like

who remembers things?: Hakuba. He’s so meticulous about that sort of thing.  

who cusses more?: Sera, though the longer they’re together, the more Hakuba does, too. All in good fun, though!  

what would they do if the other one was hurt?: Treat the wounds efficiently, all while laughing about how they should have seen the other guy. 

who kissed who first?: Hakuba, though he hadn’t exactly intended to. It sort of just happened!  Something about a fight and drinking and working on frustrating cases and just…! STOP SAYING YOU’RE NOT BEAUTIFUL YOU’RE VERY ATTRACTIVE, GOD! HERE I’LL PROVE IT. 

who made the first move?: Sera! Because who can resist that I mean right. It happened very quickly. 

who started the relationship?: Hakuba, when he actually called the next day. 

Hakuba’s Thoughts: 

image

“Is she going to kick me in the face? I’d really rather not be kicked in the face. Do we really need to post this? I’m nervous. She’s cute, but she’s definitely going to kick me in the face. I can just feel it.” 

He fell asleep counting the space between their breaths, and woke when there was nothing to reset. The bed was still heavy beside him, sheets pulled to the right, but silent. He held his breath. Nothing. Just cold recognition. There had been no hope. Not with a wound like that and the refusal to see a doctor. He’d done what he could and held him to wait out the night. Kaito hadn’t even lasted that long. 05:12:33. The watch draped the monocle and the detective curled closer, choking back a sob.
