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 paused before gently pulling the other towards him, pressing him up against his side, as he’s wearing clothes. He scratches the other behind the ears a bit more softly now, and his hand running up and down Kuroba’s back is more petting then scratching, hand gliding down his tail with each pet.
“Such a good kitty.”
An ear flick and a short hum were the only response to the comment. Kaito nuzzled the other for a moment more before curling up against the detective, tail waving a couple of times before settling. The tip moved slightly, though, to show he was still awake. Just barely. With Hakuba’s warmth, he probably wouldn’t be for much longer.
