“Well…”  Hakuba said, laughing with wincing smile. “Considering that I find myself to be quite naked, I can’t imagine where I’d be handing handcuffs; I do believe that you’re safe, Kaitou-san.” 

He cleared his throat with a tiny cough into his fist, and glanced to his closet. “Though, if… if you do wish to stay- and it would be welcomed, I assure you -I should really get dressed. I wouldn’t want to make things any more awkward than they already are. And, incidentally…” He turned back to him, biting his lower lip hopefully. “…if you could avoid mentioning this little incident, I would… appreciate it.” 

"Wasn’t exactly handcuffs that I was worried about…”

It was a silly paranoia, really. He was more worried about the possibility of being unmasked more than being physically captured. Even if Hakuba knew the thief was his classmate, and wasn’t likely to do anything like that outside of a heist, …if he would even do it then…, Kid couldn’t help but be wary. He held the detective in high regard, but the caution that had built up wasn’t going to disappear anytime soon.

“…But thank you. I think I will stay.”

He smiled at the other a moment before before he shifted, moving his arms back to lean on as he closed his eyes.

“And it’s not like a thief has many people he can tell, so no worries about that, tantei-san.~”
