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 wasn’t as early as he normally was. But that was because he’d be stopped by someone and asked for help, and of course, he couldn’t say no. Thankfully he wasn’t late, and still early enough to have his morning chat with Kuroba. This had started to become a thing, though weather he liked it or not, was yet to be known. He took his seat and turned, arm resting g on the back of his chair, to look at his schoolmate.
There was something… different.
He couldn’t quite place his finger on it, but there was something different about him. He tapped his chin, looking over him, trying to figure it out. Maybe it was a new hair style? He wasn’t quite sure, his hair did seem a bit different, but he couldn’t say how.
“Good morning Kuroba-san.”
Good… He didn’t notice…
He glanced up at the other eyes half closed in apparent sleepiness. Not that he had to fake much of it. Even though he’d just woken up, he kinda already wanted to sleep again… But he knew he shouldn’t, especially with the new additions…
The tail was just barely under the edge of his jacket, though he was trying to make it go up further. Unfortunately, it seemed to have a mind of it’s own, and the constant movement wasn’t helping much…
“Morning…” The magician yawned again. The ears were already getting uncomfortable to keep down, and they may have twitched slightly in his efforts to force them to stay in place.
