His eyes followed the other’s hand as it got close, though he made no move to knock the other’s hand away, relaxed as he was around his double… Or, knda former double? …Yeah… still felt more than a little weird, though he’s gotten a little more used to things.
“Yes. If you want proof…” Kaito grinned, which likely looked very out of place on someone who’s smiles were more along the lines of smirks. “Does anyone else you know know about our little game of ‘tag’?”
Well, if the grin wasn’t enough to convince him, then that certainly was.
“Oh my god.” The magician slapped a hand over his mouth, lips stretching into a grin that was eerily similar to the one on…Spider? The thief? This was just so weird and strangely funny and all kinds of unexpected and Kaito only barely managed to choke back an astonished laugh, amazed eyes locked on his other self.
…Could he still call him that, though? Since, technically…
“How–? Doesn’t seem like something Akako would do, but–” It was difficult to hold still and keep his hands to himself and he couldn’t help but reach out again, fingers curiously brushing against the other’s cheek. “Holy crap.”
The other’s reaction only made him grin wider, and really, the magician being around and mostly treating him like usual helped put him at ease, even with all of this. Kinda hard to see most people like this in the first place, when most didn’t know Spider, and the ones that did might not be happy to see him.
“Still not sure about that, actually…” Kaito replied, absently smoothing out his hair. One good thing about disguising, looking entirely different and all the various, though usually faked, changes along with it felt halfway natural. Just… more odd when he knows he can’t take things off and go back to his usual self.
“I’m starting to think it may have to do with the last heist I did… Hope not, though, since the gem’s already been sent to be returned…”
