Kaito yawned and lifted his head from the desk, stretching his arms out in front of him as he did, ears folding back against his he-
Wait. That didn’t sound or feel right.
He blinked and moved them around more, cautiously raising a hand to touch the top if his head. And met something warm and fuzzy.
…Did Akako do something to me in my sleep or something?
The ears picked up a noise coming from the door and he turned just in time to see Hakuba coming into the room. They went flat against his skull again and he backed up slightly in his seat, only to notice something else didn’t seem right. But this time, he didn’t check. He didn’t really have to. A black tail curled around him and flicked around some, clearly visible from the front, causing the magician to stare at it for a moment before his face turned a bit pink.
What the… why ears and a tail?
…Oh, right. Hakuba. He glanced back up at the detective, hoping he hadn’t seen yet. The ears would be hard to spot if they just stayed down…. now if he could just get the tail under his shirt…
Hakuba flushed a bit when he whined and looked down at his feet, but he was also smiling. He looked up in time to see the other try to scratch behind his ear, and couldn’t help but smile when it seemed the other couldn’t get the same effect. He stretched himself, pulling his arms in front of him, watching as Kuroba bounded towards the door.
He paused for a moment, just to drag it one before walking over to the door, a bit slower then he had to. “For someone who is tired, you sure move fast.”
His ears went back a bit when he saw how slowly the detective was moving. He almost wanted to whine again, but held it back this time. The tail was moving calmly behind him as he tried to be more patient, but it didn’t work very well as he opened the door and went around the other side, pausing to look back at Hakuba.
“Well, you’re very slow for being th’ one who wanted be t’ go in th’ first place….” Yes, the sleepiness was still there, somewhat, but his impatience was starting to win over being tired now that he was up. He disappeared again before giving the other a chance to reply.
