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 swallowed and fiddled with his sleeves a bit, turning away from the sight before him. His cheeks flushed a darker red and he could already feel the heat in his chest sinking lower, as the blood rushed to an appendage he liked to ignore. Hakuba had always had, well, a thing for humans with ears or tails, not just cats but dogs or foxes or wolves. There was just something about it that always made him hot and bothered, a pretty girl or a good looking guy.
It was something he was rather ashamed of.
“I see.” Hakuba cleared his throat, and wished he had some water, as his mouth felt dry. “Are you… sure you wish to be in school with your current… new additions?"
"Hmm… well, not really.”
Kaito put his head on the desk and sighed, covering his face with his arms and closing his eyes. The tail and ears were still as they were, though the former might be slowing down slightly.
“But I can always pass it off as a new trick I’m testing.. And… I’m just really tired right now…” His voice started to trail off and his ears relaxed. The tail still waved, however.
