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 was having the first good nights sleep he’d had in a while.
There was no death or murder in his dreams. No blood, no victim he couldn’t save. There was peace. He was in a field, the wind blowing the grass, and his mysophobia was not bugging him, it wasn’t screaming about the dirt and bacteria and contaminants. He was also warm, so very warm, someone curled up beside him, he could feel them rise and fall with each of his breaths. It was a comfortable weight, and he was happy.
He knew who was beside him, and it was just so peaceful, he was content with his life. The struggle was over, and they could just be, just live together. He could tell they were in the country side, maybe a vacation home, a little cottage out in the middle of nowhere; just them. Yes, this was what he wanted, this was the life he’d dreamed about. Still working, still doing his job, but also having time with the one he loved.
Then the person laying on him started to nuzzle his chest, rubbing against him and his eyes slowly peeked open; and he was no longer asleep. He blinked a few times, letting out a shiver was he felt warm, soft ears rub against his neck, sending little waves of heat towards his abdomen. There was also the tail, the tail that was brushing against him.
Right, he was in the hospital bed with Kaito.
His eyes snapped open and his cheeks went red as he realized the statement he just made.
Kaito didn’t notice the other had woken up at first. He turned his head down even more to rub his ears against the detective, trying to ease the itch that had come from the other’s hair brushing against them earlier, a soft hum running through his throat. After a moment, he stopped.
…His breathing isn’t the same…
Slowly, the magician tilted his head to look at Hakuba, ears going back slightly in embarrassment when he saw that the other was indeed awake, his own face turning dark as well as he averted his eyes. The tail, however, did not stop or move away from the other, though it did slow down.
“Umm…..”
He wasn’t really sure what to say. Please ignore the fact that I was just rubbing against you while you were sleeping? Of course, there was also the fact that they had been asleep like this in the first place…
