“here kitty kitty!”

x

Kaito probably should have been expecting the knock, since he hadn’t gone to school that day after he’d looked at himself in the mirror that morning. Nope. Not going to mess with that.

But when he heard someone at the door, he hesitated a moment before sighing and pulling the hood of his jacket over his head to cover the ears.

…Hmm… I called the school to tell them I was sick… So… More than likely…

The magician looked through the peephole, and, yep, it was Aoko. Of course she would come over… Another sigh and he put on a small smile before opening the door some.

“Ah… Hi, Aoko…”

Here, kitty kitty!

x

He was beginning to wish he hadn’t planned these heists in Osaka. It had seemed like the best opportunity, what with two potential gems going on display within the city…

But it didn’t help when the first target decided to give him some new, furry appendages.

The magician sighed as he looked down at the streets below from the tower. This was a good place to plan routes and general things for the heists, as well as pick up on any interesting conversations. However… now he was finding it a bit too loud. It also felt a lot more crowded than yesterday…

A hand idly reached up to scratch at the area his ears were hidden underneath his cap. They and the tail didn’t like being cooped up, but he’d just have to deal with it. It wasn’t so bad that he’d cancel the second heist and he hadn’t quite finished all of the planning.

….But that didn’t mean he wouldn’t take a break, though. Kaito finally gave up and moved to sit down against the back wall, closing his eyes against a slowly growing headache. He didn’t even notice someone who approached.

“Here kitty kitty!” //-aPPEARS FROM OUT OF NOWHERE- -THROWS AT- -fleeeees-

x

Well, he’d gotten somewhat used to these kinds of things by now. But being used to them, and being willing to let others see them were two different things, so he’d been trying to get the hat over the ears, just barely setting it in place when he noticed his other self. The tail was already tucked away, but he still had to hesitate. It would be slightly embarrassing if the the additions were noticed… but then again it was himself… technically… but also not….

Oops, he was already moving. The thief had gotten used to his cuddles with the other, and with more cat in him, he couldn’t even reason a way out of putting his arms around his doppelganger, so he just went with it and grinned.

“Hello, magician-san~”

A light breeze outside brushes a branch against your window with a quiet tapping in an otherwise silent room. Curious, you walk to the window. You hadn’t realized there was a tree that close, and that realization is slightly unsettling. Relief comes when you see nothing amiss outside your window, but your eyes do catch a bouquet of flowers just on the other side of the windowsill. The collection includes amaranth, begonia, cyclamen, zinnia, mimosa, and sycamore, but no people in sight.

AMARANTH: Broken-hearted
BEGONIA: Warning
CYCLAMEN: Parting
ZINNIA: Memories
MIMOSA: Secret admirer
SYCAMORE: Curiosity

Kaito blinked a few times at the flowers, then opened the window and looked around outside the window again before actually picking them up. Certainly a strange collection to mysteriously show up…

Zinnia…. Someone I know? Or knew? And parting?

Curiosity about the sender aside, it was the amaranth and begonia that made him frown. Probably was someone who knew him that had left it… but a broken heart? And what was the warning for….?

The magician turned the bouquet around in his hands and stared at it in mild confusion before glancing around a final time and moving to get something to put the flowers in.

Aoko walked over to Kaito and handed him a bouquet with geraniums, sunflowers, violets, zinnias, dills, orange and red roses, sycamores and tuberoses, looking away with slight flushed cheeks.

GERANIUM: True friendship
SUNFLOWER: Gratitude
VIOLET: Loyalty
ZINNIA: Memories
DILL: Lust
ROSE (ORANGE): Fascination
ROSE (RED): Passionate love
SYCAMORE: Curiosity
TUBEROSE: Pleasure

Blink. Blink. And a blush.

He slowly reached out to accept the flowers and looks down at them for a minute. He was happy that she’d give flowers with these meanings… But he’s still not over everything that had happened…

After taking a moment to think, he glanced up at her and then quickly, but softly, kissed her on the lips before pulling back and smiling.

“…Thanks, Aoko….”

There’s a random bouquet of orange roses, sycamores, and unabashed mimosas laid on the thief’s doorstep, a single Zinnia hidden in the petals of pinks, oranges and green; stuck in there after moments of hesitation and hopes of it would go unnoticed.

ZINNIA: Memories
MIMOSA: Secret admirer
ROSE (ORANGE): Fascination
SYCAMORE: Curiosity

Kaito almost didn’t see the flowers when he opened the door to go check the mail. As it was, he just barely manage to pause mid-step when he caught sight of them.

Who would….

He carefully stepped back and reached down to pick up the bouquet, turning it some as he looked at the flowers. Then, a brow raised as he caught sight of something and carefully reached in to retrieve the zinnia.

After a bit of curious, contemplative staring, he twirled the flower some and turned to head back inside to set the flowers in a vase, mail being set as a lower priority at the moment.

Kaito hoped it wasn’t too late, but he was just going to hand his double a bouquet anyway. There were sunflowers, orange roses, violets, sycamores – but, after a brief moment of hesitation, the magician decided to hand over the mimosa and dill he’d been hiding behind his back with a small and more than a little embarrassed grin.

SUNFLOWER: Gratitude
VIOLET: Loyalty
DILL: Lust
MIMOSA: Secret admirer
ROSE (ORANGE): Fascination
SYCAMORE: Curiosity

Well, he couldn’t say he wasn’t happy to see the magician. Especially not if he’d brought flowers~

The thief grinned and opened his mouth to thank the other, but was stopped when the other two flowers were added to the bouquet, face quickly turning pink as the meanings set in.

Aaaand he stared between the flowers and his counterpart for a while, before the smile came back and Kid moved to kiss the other lightly on the cheek as he took them.

“I would say I should be the only one allowed to be cute… but that argument kinda falls apart in this situation, doesn’t it?~”

2, 10, 22, 43, 54?

2. What drew you to rping this character?

image

(Well, I was (am?) a (lazy) fanfiction writer. Didn’t write too often, but I had/still have a lot of random ideas. And Kid went a bit out of my control even in the few one-shots I wrote, going into stories where he wasn’t supposed to be, and kinda stuck around. Spider came after I started to get interested in his character, and a head!OC kinda got dragged into seeing what he was like in my mind… And after certain things happened to that OC (Pity him. He gets thrown into many series I like in my head and usually gets into more trouble than he can deal with), Spider actually didn’t seem as bad as I thought. Granted, we don’t know much to begin with, but I got attached to him, and Kai just sorta clung and wouldn’t let go… So when I finally got a tumblr account, on top of following random people I knew, I found some DC/MK RP blogs, and they looked like fun. I actually made Spider’s blog first, since he didn’t exist in the RP community that I could see, but wanted to wait until a Hakuba was available to actually have him jump in (before Cleanba was made and while Gab’s was on hiatus), so I let Kai out in the meantime. So to answer…  it wasn’t so much what drew me to RP them, it was just them wanting to come out and play, really, since I wasn’t writing much by way of fanfiction… And wow this got long….)

10. What’s the hardest thing for you to write?

image

(Category-wise? Probably the stuff like violence and torture. Not because I particularly mind them, but more because I tend to over-think things and want have things happen as realistically as possible (Kai’s magic not always included and Spider’s illusions excluded too) and I’m not well versed enough to know how much pain something could cause or when something is taken too far. I have general ideas, but I don’t think I’m descriptive or creative enough to come up those kinds of things. Which is strange to say, considering Spider… but that’s also why he’s more of a mental torturer than a physical one…)

22. Do you like lots of headcanons or few?

image

(Hmm…. this might be a bit contradictory. I like lots of headcanons, but at the same time, about 80 percent of the headcanons I do myself are made up on the spot as a situation demands one. Or a situation brings up one at random, but they still just happen sporadically. So long as they don’t go against character, I love more headcanons, though.)

43. Do you usually prefer chat/short replies, or long/para/novella replies?

image

(Prefer? Ha…. well, it’s probably fairly obvious that I get to shorter replies a lot faster, but then, more often than not, they start growing… It just takes so long to write longer replies, but I love getting them myself, so… Ahaha…. *reads and re-reads other people’s reponses a lot more often than actually writing*)

54. What’s a trope or plot you love but you’ve never gotten to roleplay or never gotten to roleplay in completion?

image

(That would have to be… (watch as the more evil side comes out) a mind break of sorts, actually. I’d like to see someone try and rein in an insane Kid or something. Despite how much he tries to hide it, he is very much not stable. I mean, unless something really scarring happened, he still wouldn’t be hurting people. Just probably end up scaring people to near-death. plot/trope for Spider… Hmm… Nothing really specific comes to mind right now, since he’s still very much new and a lot of situations with him right now are outside of what he normally does…)

(*thinks for a looong time and looks around in random places*)

(…)

image

(Body swapped or stuck in someone’s mind… those actually sound like a lot of fun… and he messes with people’s head anyway, the possibility is…)

image

“…Okay, I think someone needs to be pulled away from this… The darker side of her mind may not be… evil per se… But she likes putting people in situations they don’t really like, to see what they do… I’ll just… she’ll be watching cat videos. Yes. That should help.”

image

(Hmm? No, Kai- wai-)

(*is dragged off*)

britishhsdetectivehakuba:

Hakuba wrapped an arm around his waist to support him, holding him steady and nodded. “If you ever feel uneasy at anytime, I can carry you, and let me know if you start slipping and we’ll stop, alright?” He smiled softly. “I’ll stay with you till what ever this is goes away. I’ll be your legs.”

Well, his feet did still want to slide, but at least now he had a hold that would move with him, rather than having to rely on walls and such. But even if he still felt somewhat unsteady, he was not going to have Hakuba carry him all the way home.

“…Thanks.”

Kaito hugged his detective briefly before shifting so that it would be easier for them to walk, while still keeping a good hold on the other and trying not to put much weight on him.

…Okay, he’d be lying if he said that this didn’t feel silly, since the ground looked the same and was normal for Hakuba… Just not for him. Did feel better to have the support, though.
