“The impression you give off certainly doesn’t make it seem that WAY." 

Attempts to soften her stern expression seemed to fade more into the neutrality she was once often known for. “Of course, there’s nothing I can do to stop YOU. Do as you WISH. The temperance of one’s indulgences, after all, can be quite a taxing MATTER…”

"Please, Miss Knox,” Hakuba laughed, lifting his chin in haughty air. “I drink tea a fair greater percentage than liquor. Consider the facts- on an average day, I have at the very least four cups of tea. Some days more, some days less. Scotch, however…”  The detective glanced down at his nails, examining them with mild interest. “A shot at best, two or three times a week… along with the occasional binge. You see, proportionally speaking, tea is king. As always.”

“Here, kitty kitty!”

themoonlightthief:

Send me “Here, kitty kitty!” and my muse will grow cat ears and a tail and adopt the mannerisms of a cat/kitten for the entirety of a thread!

The rustling sound of leaves made the tail sticking out of the waist of his pants flick nervously and Kaitou glanced around, quickly, the feline ears sitting on top of his head twitching as he listened. 

…Nothing.

Just the wind, then. 

It didn’t quite ease the uncertainty and slight paranoia bubbling in his chest though and he turned back towards the window, silently hoping Hakuba had already made it home. The heist had ended a little less than an hour ago, but who knew how pissed Nakamori had been or if he’d forced the blond to stay behind or if—

He knocked on the window, ears perking for any sound of movements from within the house.

Fortunately for the thief and the detective, Hakuba had been able to deflect most of the anger on the rest of the team with a few carefully chosen words that dripped with a sort of ‘I told you this would happen, you again refused to listen, and unless you want me to present you a detailed list of every single one of your errors, with time stamps, then I suggest you turn around and WALK AWAY’ air. The icy glare he’d used had helped, of course, but it was definitely the presence that mattered most. 

It would cost him later, but Hakuba really just wanted to get home. 

After setting his keys down on the end table near the door to his lavish bedroom, Hakuba paused and glanced toward the window. Tapping…? Kid usually just let himself in, didn’t he? Then again, it was quite soon after the heist, but… who else would come rapping at his window? 

Musing over thoughts of Poe, Hakuba made his way to the window without even removing his overcoat, far too comfortable in the layers to give it up until absolutely necessary. He’d left the lights off, but he didn’t need light to see that there was a person waiting there for him, so familiar in silhouette that even his tired eyes knew at once who it was. Without hesitation, he unlocked the windows and pulled them open with a smile. 

“Welcome, my little raven,” he said, far too amused with himself to notice, until 3.8 seconds later, that something was amiss. Then he blinked, tilting his head to one side as the smile faded into a craggy line of confusion. “…Are you cosplaying?”

Cleanba made his way towards Hakubby, taking out a handkerchief. He dabbed it with some food safe disinfectant, therefore would cause no harm if consumed, and dabbed it over his other self’s lips before leaning in to kiss him.

“…" 

Of all of the many, many experiences that Hakuba had experienced in that vein, this was a first. The detective, confused and startled as he was, could only watch, mystified, as the other approached, touched, and then kissed him. He stood there in silence for a moment after that, eyes narrowing while he regarded his doppelganger. Really, aside from a few minor differences, the other young man might have been a mirror image of himself. 

…but there were, of course, those aforementioned minor differences. These offered a sort of reassurance on one hand – someone like Kaitou Kid or those in a similar trade wouldn’t make that sort of mistake if they were attempting to replace him for some nefarious reason. On the other hand, it did raise quite a few new questions. 

The half-brit tilted his head, setting his gaze at an angle to get a better look at his counterpart, bringing a hand up to his own lips to touch the substance that had been put there. From what he could tell from touch, smell, and taste, it was nothing more than an antiseptic of some sort; nothing immediately harmful. But why…?

Oh. The gloves. Right, yes, that made sense. But was it some sort of phobia, perhaps? A symptom of an extreme obsessive compulsive disorder? Unless it was part of the disguise. Feigning that sort of thing proved a useful distraction for those who might otherwise suspect something amiss. So who was this other self? 

Even more curious was the nature of their interaction. A kiss. But not just any kiss – a pitiful excuse for a peck, almost as if it were spurred on by some unnatural force, carried through with the utmost reluctance and hesitation. Clearly, this false detective had little, if any, experience in physical affection, nor the inclination for it.

But then again… that may be just the sort of thing that a person might want him to believe in order to mislead his deduction. Hakuba took in a slow, measured breath and let it out while he counted the seconds to himself in his head. Really, despite the various theories that had begun to surface, he felt no more confident in reaching a conclusion than he had fifteen seconds ago, and the longer he delayed, the lower his chances of reaching a satisfying resolution. 

He would have to, therefore, bluff in order to buy himself some time and, with any luck, probe additional information from his assailant. 

"Well, then,” he said, lips tilting into a lopsided smirk. “I would assume that you were Kaitou Kid in another one of his ridiculous disguises, but you certainly don’t kiss the way that he does.” Hakuba chuckled, shoulders shrugging in amusement. “So who, may I ask, are you, and whoever taught you how to kiss that way~?”
