“Wasn’t exactly handcuffs that I was worried about…”

It was a silly paranoia, really. He was more worried about the possibility of being unmasked more than being physically captured. Even if Hakuba knew the thief was his classmate, and wasn’t likely to do anything like that outside of a heist, …if he would even do it then…, Kid couldn’t help but be wary. He held the detective in high regard, but the caution that had built up wasn’t going to disappear anytime soon.

“…But thank you. I think I will stay.”

He smiled at the other a moment before before he shifted, moving his arms back to lean on as he closed his eyes.

“And it’s not like a thief has many people he can tell, so no worries about that, tantei-san.~”

“Again, it’s appreciated, regardless.”  Hakuba laughed, voice still nervous in tone as he sat up again. It wasn’t as though he mistrusted the thief, either, but as flirtatious as they were, there had never really been any sort of define the relationship discussion.

He reached for the duvet at the end of the bed, exposing his naked back briefly, then dragged it around himself to preserve some sense of modesty as he slipped from the bed, heading for the closet. 

“Now be a gentleman and turn around."

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."

The smile only grew wider as Hakuba stirred. Though he hadn’t meant to wake the other, Kid couldn’t deny that seeing the sleepy detective tugged at his snuggle urges… Might not be the best feeling to act on right now…

“…I’m not exactly the easiest to kill, tantei-san.”

A small, silent sigh and a pause. Then, the thief moved to sit on the corner of the bed, resting an elbow on his knee, head propped up on his fingers as he continued to look at the other.

“Apologies for not coming sooner. Some people decided to play tag for longer than I expected.”

“Really? I wouldn’t have guessed… You are rather fun to chase, you know.” Hakuba laughed, shifting in the blankets to roll onto his side, head propped up on his elbow so he could watch Kid in leisure. Of course, it was then that he remembered his lack of clothing. Oh. And Kid had pulled up the covers, clearly, as he never slept with them quite so high on his shoulders…

Oh. 

He blushed, turning his head away to glance toward his nightstand, feigning the need to look at the time. It served as some sort of reassurance, anyway, but did not ease the color on his cheeks. What to do? 

“Are you… planning to stay?”

moonlightmajutsushi:

"…Is it perhaps because you enjoy the idea of there being TWO of your favorite detective, my dear Kaitou-san~?”

“Hmm… I won’t deny that thought may have crossed my mind… But just imagine what would happen if all the Kaitous were in one place as well. Doesn’t that just sound like it would be fun, tantei-san.~”

”…all of the Kaitous in… … one… .. place?“

The thief quietly opened the window and stepped down into the room, not surprised to find the other asleep. He’d come a lot later than he’d intended, after all. The lack of clothes did cause a blush to rise up, much as he tried to fight it. Kid gave a brief thought to leaving and coming back another night… which he might still follow through with. But for the now, he simply walked to the bed and pulled the covers over the sleeping detective, then took a few steps back and smiled softly.

It was the lack of cold that woke the detective, who rolled over sleepily at the sudden presence of warmth. “Mm…?” Hakuba asked of the dark, vision slowly coming into focus after blinking, then stifled a yawn.

He’d spent most of the night running, as he often did during Kaitou Kid heists, but it was the waiting up afterward that had really sapped the energy from him. It was so difficult to wait and worry, wondering if he’d receive any word that his friend and classmate had made it back safely. Even after having his safety confirmed, there was always that little chance that he might come to pay him a visit… 

…but on nights like this, when the moon dipped behind the cityscape, Hakuba admitted defeat, showered, and crawled into bed. After all, the lack of visitors meant that he could dry off and sleep at the same time, without worry for modesty or the secret of the scars that marred his back.

So it was a surprise to find Kid there, smiling, body framed by the evening light in the window. He managed a smile in return, lifting a hand to rub the sleep from his eyes, and carefully pushed up onto his elbows while staying covered.

“Still alive, I see…” Hakuba said, voice soft. “I waited for you." 

“Hello?”

17. They have a computer question.

“Kuroba-kun, it’s Hakuba Saguru… from school, you remember?” A pause. “Ah, I mean, of course you remember. Well, ah, anyway, the reason for my phonecall – and for disturbing you so late in the evening, apologies for that, incidentally – is that I’m having a little bit of trouble navigating this auction site… You see, it’s a connection with an internet black market and I’m trying to find a specific gem. What… key words do I need to put in? ‘Stolen property’ brings up far too many listings, it’s getting frustrating. Please help?”

“Otanjoubi omedetou, tantei-san.~”

This figurine was left during the night, a rose balanced from its head to its tail.

“It’s a little dragon! …which is stating the obvious, yes, but that’s fantastic! I’ll add it to my growing collection. Who knows? Perhaps I’ll have a dragon army again soon~ Thank you, Kaitou-san.”
