Napping at heists seemed to be becoming a reoccurring thing for Shinichi lately, or at least coming to heists not in the best of health. This time he’d actually napped while waiting for the thief and when he woke it was to the rustling of that well known cape. Hoping the master thief hadn’t realized he had been napping, he moved to try and stand, feeling off.
He wasn’t getting sick was he? He hoped not, KID wouldn’t be pleased at all.
“Took you long enough,” he teased, the long and fluffy tail behind him swishing playfully. He had no idea it was there. Nor that there were a matching pair of ears settled in his hair.
They possibly weren’t, but he was certain KID was going to find out in the end. He seemed to very much be enjoying the change to the detective. Then again it seemed like he enjoyed any reason to invade his personal space, not that Shinichi worked too hard on stopping him.
“No, I suppose not,” he conceded. After all it was better then being a kid again, at least he was still his actual age.
There was a soft huff as the scritching to his ears stopped, eyes moving to the thief’s face before closing. The feel of those gloved fingers sliding through his hair and down his cheek, eventually resting under his chin, was really nice… He almost wanted to ask him to do it again when they started rubbing under his chin.
And that was probably where the detective was doomed, head tilting back to expose more of his chin and neck, and a heavy purring leaving him. That felt really nice.
A grin and his eyes seemed to light up. Yes, the thief was enjoying this, since it looked like Shinichi was behaving like a cat on top of having the ears and tail. That, more than anything, made him interested, even if the furry parts were adorable. Especially the purring.
He hummed and soon brought up his other hand to join the first in scratching, fingers lightly wrapping around the other’s neck on both sides as they went up and down along the neck and under the chin. And he continued that for a minute or so before one slid up from the side to work on the ears again.
His eyes were mainly focused on Shinichi’s face and the areas he was rubbing, but they did glance down some as he assessed where to pet and/or scratch to see how neko-tantei would react next.

This was going to be fun…
