The thief jerked and his eyes slowly regained their focus. His mind was still clouded, but it was quickly fading, and it wasn’t too long before he became aware of what was going on around him again.
And to have the detective’s face not to far from his own was surprising to see, to say the least.
“…T-tan..tei?”
Kid tried to raise a hand, blinking when he found resistance. His eyes glanced up and he noticed the other’s hands on his wrists, suddenly becoming very aware that there was quite a bit of weight on him as well. He didn’t push the other away, however. Confusion was the only thing really going through his head right now, and he was trying to figure out what had happened, not even aware that he was relaxing as his mind was returning.
“Why….”
When KID finally started to wake, Hakuba let out a sigh of relief. He was panting himself, the thief was strong, and he’d had to put all of his weight on him just to keep him still. He’d also taken an elbow to the cheek, which was probably red with irritation. He was going to have to clean it thoroughly later, but that didn’t matter at the moment. The adrenaline and fear for his safety and KID’s had kept his mysophobia in check.
“KID.” He replied, trying to even out his breaths. “You’ve finally snapped out of it I see.” He could feel him trying to lift his arms, but he kept them down, wanting to be sure he wouldn’t slip back into what ever had happened before again.
“You became violent. I don;t know why, but you were a danger to yourself, and me. I had to struggle to get you to the floor, you elbowed me in the face, and I had to pin you down with all my weight just to keep you from hurting me or yourself anymore.” Hakuba sighed and slacked his grip a bit, shifting his weight so it wasn’t fully on the other. “Are you yourself again?”
“I think so…”
The thief breathed a little easier after the other shifted, though his heart still raced in his chest. He’d been violent? Really, all he could remember right now was feeling afraid and trapped… Though, now that he’d woken up and actually had some restriction on him… Kid couldn’t really feel the fear. Maybe a slight wariness returning, with the detective this close, but he didn’t fight against the hold again right now. Whatever had happened, he wanted to get calm just as much as Hakuba likely wanted him to. It… hadn’t been the most pleasing feeling to have, so he was fine with the other holding him down to keep it in check at the moment.
Kid did look up at the detective’s face, though, focusing on the reddened area before his eyes flicked down slightly.
“…I suppose I should thank you for stopping me, if I was that out of hand. And I apologise for hurting you, tantei.”
