Kid suddenly heard a noise behind him and looked down from his perch above the rooftop door. He raised an eyebrow at the outfit, smiling slightly. There were always a few who attended his heists in the costume. though, they usually weren’t allowed inside….
He blinked and looked a bit closer.
Is that….?
The thief choked back a laugh. Why on earth was she in that getup?
“Flattering though it may be, I don’t think wearing that on nights when people are searching for one in the same costume is the best idea, ojou-san. Wouldn’t want to cause you any unneeded trouble, after all.”
He moved to the edge of the section to let her notice him, his cape waving around behind him.
She looked down, her bangs covering her eyes. “No..I haven’t told him…I’m scared..that he doesn’t feel the same way…I don’t want to lose him as a friend because of my feelings..”

“Hmm… I can certainly understand not wanting to lose a friend. But if that is the case, you can’t really say for certain that he doesn’t feel the same way for you, ojou-san.”
Wait…. Come to think of it how many guy friends did Aoko have? He couldn’t really think of any besides himself and arguably Hakuba….
Great, now he kinda wanted to ask about it. But… even if he did learn who she liked, would it really change much? If she did have feelings for him, he still couldn’t do much. There was still the whole matter of Kid and Pandora to deal with. And if the person she was talking about is someone else….
“So… about that second part… regarding ‘someone’ you kissed….” The thief was partially just trying to distract himself from that train of thought, but part of him was curious as to why Aoko didn’t hate him for doing that.
