Hakuba finished about half his steak before pushing it gently forward, finished. He tabbed his mouth with his napkin, before grabbing his glass and raising it to his lips to take a sip. He then placed it down and took the napkin from his lap and placed it over his plate before taking yet another sip of the wine, he needed the extra boost to help him do what he planned. It was different when the other was a neko, that was out of the blue.

Now he was going to ask him to wear them.

There were also the rules, only two, but neither were really that bad, they were both just to make this go smoothly, at least one of them was, the other was more for his own sake.

Hakuba let out a soft sigh and looked up at Kuroba, waiting for him to finish; but there was no rush.

Watching the other push his plate away over the edge of the glass, he waited another moment to debate about whether to continue himself. Neither the potatoes nor the steak were completely finished and it felt strange to not eat everything put in front of him… but it would feel just as strange to have the detective watch with just him eating and it wasn’t as though he were hungry to need to eat the rest…

He swirled the wine around some before setting it down, bringing his own napkin up to wipe his mouth off a bit and placing it next to his plate. A quick glance was sent to the box on the ground, but he wasn’t sure if dinner was quite considered ‘over’ yet, so he didn’t move to pick it up, instead looking back at Hakuba. He straightened as he leaned his back against the chair as he lightly crossed his arms.

“So… what do you have planned next?”
