Hello? Inspector Nakamori? Hakuba Saguru here. I was just wondering if I could have a look at that case file again, there is something about it that is bothering me...

Comments

I could post hakuba on the open doors bit... XD

[awhitehorse]

[ Hakuba raises an eyebrow at him ]

You cannot seriously be telling me that if she asked you to do so you would not, at the least, try. [ So dry ]

ahahahah. that would be awesome.

[tuxedo_magician]

Try, maybe. Although I don't know why, because she'd know if I was faking it, and then she'd beam with that stupid mop. Again.

XD when I get back, remind me

[awhitehorse]

...you and her seem to have an obsession with that mop.

I will <3

[tuxedo_magician]

Wait till she threatens you with it. Or hits you.

<3

[awhitehorse]

Aoko-chan only seems to do that with you, you realise this, yes?

[tuxedo_magician]

She does now, but if you insist on being her friend, that's what your future will bring.

[awhitehorse]

I am sure she will not. She does not do so to anyone else, after all. It is apparently only you she finds that annoying.

[tuxedo_magician]

You don't know that, Hakuba.

After all, you don't hear what she says about you when it's just the two of us hanging out~

[ Kaito is having way to much fun with this. ]

[awhitehorse]

.... [ Hakuba opens and then closes his mouth and frowns ]

You talk about me?

[ SO SUSPICIOUS ]

[tuxedo_magician]

Maybe~

[awhitehorse]

[ so suspicious ]

What about?

[tuxedo_magician]

Just, you know... stuff.

[awhitehorse]

[ squinting suspiciously at continues ]

Stuff. About me. [ flatly ] Why on earth would you talk about me.

[tuxedo_magician]

Uh... why wouldn't we?

[awhitehorse]

[ that...throws him what is normal friends ]

I...did not think I was anything worth talking about.

[tuxedo_magician]

[ Okay, Kaito has the feeling that he just stepped on some sort of landmine here. ]

Well, yeah. Why wouldn't we talk about people we know?

[ He hesitates to say 'friend'. Not that he hasn't thought it, in very rare and trying times, but to acknowledge it? That seems like a line that he's not ready to cross yet. ]

You know how Aoko is, she's very attached to those she considers her friends.

[ Or he could just roundabout admit to it? ]

THINGS THAT I REALISE FAR TOO LATE

[awhitehorse]

I am very fond of Aoko-chan too. [ thete, that's more familiar territory for them both. ]

that's okay, I still love you anyway <3

[tuxedo_magician]

Yeah, she's definitely something, isn't she?

[ This is probably the closest that he'll get to admitting that he actually likes her. And considering his and Hakuba's little rivalry when the other first showed up, he figures that Hakuba understands that too. ]

<3

[awhitehorse]

[ They could brofist, but that would imply they get along, and they certainly do not what do you call this conversation then, Hakuba? ]

You are fortunate to have known her for as long as you have.

[tuxedo_magician]

[ Nope, not at all. Which is why none of this ever happened. ]

Yeah. Probably the best rash decision I ever made was introducing myself to her when we were little.

[ But she looked so lonely and bored sitting there, Kaito couldn't just leave her like that. ]

But hey, you have her as a friend now. [ And him too, although they would never ever admit that. ]

[awhitehorse]

[ Exactly ]

You have a point. And I would agree, that was probably the best decision of your life.

[tuxedo_magician]

See! Even you can admit that I make good decisions!

[awhitehorse]

One. One good decision.

[tuxedo_magician]

Still! That's high praise coming from you, Hakuba.

[awhitehorse]

Don't get used to it.
