“I don’t think I’d have a problem with that.” He grinned, then spread his arms wide, giving his double an expectant look. “…You’re not gonna leave me hanging, are you?”
The thief gave a hum before mirroring the other’s grin.
“What would you do if I did?” Not that it’s going to be an option, since he moved in to hug his double, despite the words. It had been what he’d wanted to begin with, after all, and the offer was usually taken when given.
He gave the cookie a sniff. It seemed safe enough, but he was still wary. “You’re not a killer robot? Or someone in disguise who happens to be immune to something in the cookies?” He had seen The Princess Bride; he knew that trick.
The cookie was getting hard to resist.
“If I were trying to kill you with cookies, wouldn’t really matter what I said would it? Even if I said no to both, doesn’t exactly give you any more or less of a reason to trust me, now does it?”
Kaito twirled the treat he had and watched the other, still amused at all the caution over a cookie. Not that he could blame his counterpart entirely, but really now…
“It’s Cookie day, I made cookies, and if you want to be paranoid, that leaves more for me.” And with that, he finished the one in his hand and licked a few crumbs off his finger before contemplating which one to get next.
The first thing he became aware of was the light. The sky was blue, not black, and the sun was shining, rather than the pale moonlight he’d just been under in his mind. He was breathing deeply, the panic that he’d felt just a few seconds earlier already beginning to subside.
This wasn’t a heist. Those men weren’t here. He wasn’t Kid right now.
He was safe.
Well, mostly. Kaito stared at the one holding him down for a moment before slowly pulling his arms, which had been pushing at the other’s chest, back to his sides. He let his head rest back on the ground and closed his eyes until he could completely calm down. When he opened them again, the magician realised the face above him was slightly familiar…
A small blush tinted his cheeks as he fully became aware of how they probably looked and he gave a small, nervous laugh.
