The teen blinked wearily as the door opened, eyes going wide as he saw the detective. He turned so that his back was to the Hakuba, hoping the other hadn’t seen the wetness on his face…. Though he most likely had…
“…I had nightmare,” he said, wincing at the hoarseness in his voice.
Hakuba shifted when he felt the other move, wondering what he was doing; even with his eyes adjusted, it was hard to see him amidst the darkness. When he felt him finally settle he relaxed a little himself. The pondered some things over in his head before he started to hum. It was a soft, almost like a lullaby. It was something his mother used to sing to him when he went to sleep. He always found it relaxing when he was younger, and he hoped it would help Kuroba fall asleep.
Kaito hadn’t really moved much from where he had been. Maybe a bit closer to Hakuba, but it wasn’t by much, since he’d just been trying to get comfortable when he’d been settling. The covers had pulled down slightly when the other sat down, but the brunet hadn’t really cared, too busy being taken aback when the detective had complied with his request in the first place.
And he was surprised again when the other started humming, since he’d just been expecting the detective to sit in silence, or at most, start telling more stories again.
But it was a pleasant surprise.
The magician gave a soft, short hum and smiled. It really didn’t take nearly as long as he’d been thinking it might for him to fall asleep, breath evening out and muscles he hadn’t even been aware were still tense relaxing as he did.
