It had been a long day.
Basil was stuck under a bus stop, scowling, a late afternoon shower having started and him without an umbrella. He tapped his foot in irritation, chin resting in his palm as he watched the rain.
The evidence they’d been counting on had been too damaged to ascertain anything from it, and their only lead was lost.
But if he’d been a bit more careful in preserving it—!
He was expecting anything but the slightly rough brush of his hair. The scientist initially glanced up in confusion, though he wasn’t going to stop the other— it was the distraction he wanted. And it felt good.
“…Why’d you do that?”
Kaito didn’t answer right away. He continued running his fingers purposefully through the other’s hair until he managed to find what he had caught sight of a few seconds before. Pausing, the magician carefully picked it up and took a small step back.
“Ah, sorry about that.” He held up his hand, where a small ladybird was now standing, and grinned. “Didn’t think you’d want this little guy hitching a ride for too long.”
