Hakuba frowned and pulled his hand back at the hiss. He didn’t know why KID was acting like this, like he’d hurt him. It made his heart sink into his stomach and he wanted nothing more then to hold him, to be told what was going on and why he was so nervous; why he didn’t want Hakuba near him. There was also the pain of rejection; maybe KID didn’t love him anymore, maybe he just wanted nothing to do with him; maybe this was their break up.

With a hi-

A hiss?

Hakuba tilted his head in thought for a moment before his eyes went wide and he wanted to smack himself. This time he wasn’t slow, he walked towards him with purpose and if KID backed up he would break into a run until he could grasp his shirt and hold him still. He looked up at him, could see now that it was fear in his eyes, fear of him finding out; but he already knew.

Hakuba reached up with his free hand, holding onto KID tightly as he gripped the rim of the hat and tossed it to the side, revealing what he had thought; cat ears. He frowned, wondering why he’d want to hide this from him, and thought back on the other times he’d had ears, they had been pleasurable right? Well, they had been, until Hakuba had taken off and then broken down.

That explained that.

“I’m not running this time.” and he pulled him down into a kiss.

Well, Hakuba must have had to dash, because the thief definitely started to retreat when he saw the other coming towards him, a feeling of panic come up, unbidden, when his detective grabbed his shirt. Somewhere in his mind, he knew the ears didn’t mean something bad would happen. That the problems that had occurred were caused because Hakuba had still been fighting with himself, not because of being a neko.

…It didn’t stop him from starting to shake slightly, especially when the hat was taken away, allowing the ears a brief moment of relief at no longer being confined before they fell back. He wanted to  hug his detective. Make him not worry. But he was the one afraid. Scared that something else would happen. Heck, the first time he’d had the ears, he hadn’t even been able to think entirely clearly until after Hakuba had already left. Hadn’t been able to stop things before they went to far, nor really control the situation at-

Kid barely managed to even catch what the other had said before his detective kissed him, hands raising some before they stopped, unsure of whether he wanted to push him away and run, or pull him closer and not let go. It killed most of his thoughts, but both wants still remained. Hold his detective, return the kiss, show how much he appreciated the other wanting to surprise him by coming… But at the same time, pull back, fly away, don’t let something bad happen while you’re aware enough to avoid it. Even if Hakuba said that he wouldn’t leave him again… and if that situation did ever happen again, he knew the other wouldn’t. But…

And for once, it seemed the thief was the one that had broken, arms frozen partway in the air and even the tail had stopped moving around its confinement. However, he was also still trembling a bit because he was the one with two opposite feelings fighting each other. And for silly reasons at that…
