Hakuba didn’t know what he’d been expecting, but well, nothing wasn’t really it. Leave it to the thief to leave him feeling both overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time. A slight pink tinged his cheeks and he debated leaving to change. Instead he made his way over to KID and stopped before him, tilting his head, eyes scanning a second time, trying to see if he’d missed anything, but he couldn’t see a thing.

“Of course. I pride myself on being punctual."

"And it’s very much appreciated,” he stated, straightening, with the smile turning into a slight smirk when he saw the other looking around.

A good magician never lets you see anything until he wants it to be seen, tantei…

“Now, then…”

Kid turned to walk over to the edge of the roof, lightly hopping up onto the ledge. He stared out at the tower, the streets, the lights… the city in general, before turning back to Hakuba. His hands went behind his back and he leaned forward some, cape waving around him in the wind, and the grin never leaving his face.

“…I’ve a question for you, tantei.”

Hakuba pulled the trench coat tighter around himself as he made his way to the top of the stairs. The trench coat itself was a bit heavy, which would help against the cold. He leaned back against the wall of the elevator and let out a sigh. He was starting to regret his own decision, but he was also a bit nervous. He had no idea what KID had in store for him either.

Once at the top floor it was just the stairs up to the rooftop and he pushed open the door, trench coat securely buttoned against what ever chill would come, and prying eyes. He was also exactly on time, punctual as usual.

“KID?” Hakuba called out, and looked in the direction of what KID had done.

The thief smiled when he saw the door open and his detective stepped out, the urge to touch pulling even harder. However, rather then approaching Hakuba, he simply brought a hand to his chest and bowed.

“Thank you for coming, tantei. Right on time, as expected~”

Kid resisted the urge to show why he’d asked Hakuba to come here specifically just yet. Share a few words, and then show off what he’d done. For now, though, the area seemed bare, but for the white clothed thief and his detective.

britishhsdetectivehakuba:

Hakuba let out a breath when he was gone, and looked at the place where he had been. He walked over to it and reached forward towards where his chest would have been before pulling back and heading home. He needed to get changed.

And about five minutes shy of an hour later, the thief nodded to himself as he went through one last inspection and made sure that everything was set. If he hadn’t done this as a spur of the moment decision, he probably would have been able to do more, but as it was, he’d been pushing just to even get the half completed project finished.

And now all Kid had to do was wait for his detective to arrive. While he didn’t usually get restless often while in costume, he couldn’t help but shift his weight from one leg to another, his monocle charm spinning some in the wind. He was nervous. For many reasons.

And starting to realise he may have gotten somewhat addicted to being in contact with his detective, considering he’d taken the opportunity every chance he’d gotten since he was given permission to lean against, hug, kiss, or just touch the other in general. That… probably wasn’t good… because his own self-inflicted rule of no touch for his ‘game’ was making him feel like he was going through withdrawal, though not so bad that he’d let it show. Keeping himself busy had helped, but with the prospect of seeing Hakuba again… it was starting to hurt.

But the thief was still going to remain stubborn, hiding his discomfort as he stood, waiting for the other to arrive. He did glance around, but from his current position in the middle of the rooftop, there wasn’t much to see beyond sky, the tower standing a ways beyond the only structure able to stand taller than the one he’d invited his detective to.

Well, hopefully Hakuba didn’t have anything against heights…

britishhsdetectivehakuba:

“I’m sure I’ll be quite alright.” Hakuba wiggled a finger. “Your hour is ticking away, my thief. I suppose you wouldn’t want me to arrive early, now would you?” He grinned and oh, he had plans of his own, but those could wait a bit.

Indeed he wouldn’t, though it wasn’t getting what was needed that would take so long. Just the set-up…

“Right…. Guess I’ll be off, then. See you soon, tantei~”

And with the tip of the hat and a puff of smoke, he’s gone.

britishhsdetectivehakuba:

Hakuba took the card and looked it over before looking up at him. “Alright, I can do that; the rooftop?” He tilted his head, but he would still go, though he was rather curious. “In an hour then.” Hakuba paused. “There anything special I should wear?”

So easy to catch interest….

After the card was taken, he smirked and pulled back completely. No need to stay close after getting a promise of a reunion, after all. They could continue the close proximity game later.

“Hmm… Could get a bit windy, so if you’re prone to wind chill, you might want to dress a bit warmer….” He paused and turned his head back to his detective and winked.

“Unless of course you’d rather use me as a heat source, of course.~”

Not even going to try and hide the suggestiveness that time.

britishhsdetectivehakuba:

“Hmm, that is a very good question, my thief.” Hakuba raised a hand, fingers brushing the air by his cheek, but not touching. “You know this area much better then I do, why don’t you pick somewhere.”

The thief didn’t even bat an eye at the closeness of the hand, just focusing on the other’s face. Regardless of just how much he wanted to grab Hakuba or do something to him, he wouldn’t. And though he’d pushed the touch boundaries with his detective until there practically were none, from after he’d learned about the other’s phobia, he’d gotten quite good at reeling in the urges.

Not that he’d had to use the restraint much recently…

Kid moved around to the open side, stopping beside his detective’s shoulder, playful smile dancing on his face as though he could care less that there was no contact.

“Very well… I do have a place in mind, though I’d need to get a few things before going there. Mind meeting me…” A snap of his fingers and a card appeared, with an address written on it, which he held out to where the arm was circling Hakuba to hold it directly in front of his chest. “…here? In an hour, and preferably on the rooftop.~”

britishhsdetectivehakuba:

Hakuba sucked in a breath as KID returned to his spot behind him and it took all of his willpower not to just turn around and pull him in. No, this was a game, this was a test; who could out last the other. Hakuba would not loose this, he’d make his thief work for it, turn this around on him and make him crave the touch, make him make the first move.

He turned around to face him, stepping just a bit closer, so they were almost touching, so they were just a breath away from each other and smiled sweetly.

“But it’s such a wonderful night out tonight, my thief.” Hakuba reached forward and trails his fingers in the air, just above the others hand. “It would be a waste to spend it in such a foolish way, don’t you think?”

Well, now the thief gave a sharp intake of breath himself, eyes widening some as Hakuba stood directly in front of him, looking much too innocent. This was going to make the game so much harder….

A glance down at the hand before looking back at his detective.

….But also so much more fun.

“….I suppose… Would you like to go somewhere, tantei?~”

britishhsdetectivehakuba:

Hakuba let out a soft sound when he felt him move back, and he was getting frustrated. He felt like he was being played with, and really this was KID it should be expected. He just wasn’t used to his advances, no matter how small, not being returned. He bit his lip and then took a step forward himself, stubborn.

“Your right.” Though this isn;t what he wanted, and he hadn’t moved all that far.

Kid really had to keep a tight hold on himself when Hakuba did step away. Even if his detective was stubborn, the thief was just as stubborn, if not more so, when it came to what he considered ‘games’. He was not going to reach out, or touch at all, until Hakuba acted himself. More than a leaning to ask to be touched; a purposeful act of contact.

However, even if the other had stepped away, that was all it was. A step. So he simply hummed and took one himself, positioning right behind his detective, though slightly wary in case Hakuba just tried leaning back again.

“….That’s not exactly leaving, now is it? Unless you changed your mind, of course~”

britishhsdetectivehakuba:

Hakuba shivered as the cape brushed his arm and he wasn’t able to quite hide the soft sound that escaped his lips. He swallowed thickly and his eyes fluttered closed for a second, itching, wanting, waiting for touch that never came. “Y-You’re still a cheater.” he breathed out, leaning back almost unknowingly to try and close more of the gap between them.

Unknowingly or not, the thief wasn’t about to let him end the ‘game’ like that. He took a small step back when he noticed the other getting closer, grin widening.

Come now, nothing so subtle as that if you’re going to act, tantei. If you want more, you’re going to have to actually get it yourself~

“Well, I am a criminal, after all~” He blew gently, not on Hakuba’s ears, but the back of his neck. “And I’m no longer in your way, you know~”

britishhsdetectivehakuba:

Hakuba shuddered again and squirmed; why wasn’t he touching him. By now he should have hands or lips on his body, but he doesn’t, and he’s… he’s actually disappointed. He wanted to be touch, to be loved by the one before him and he could feel his cheeks blush bright then before. His gloved fingers curled into fists as he fought back the urge to reach forward and touch him himself.

“You’re… in my way…”

“Is that so? Then I suppose I should move, shouldn’t I?”

The thief pulled back from the other for a minute, but stuck close beside him as he took a few steps around to stand behind his detective, cape brushing up against Hakuba’s arm as he passed by on the side. There wasn’t a lot of space between them, but Kid still wasn’t doing anything more. Then he returned to his position over Hakuba’s shoulder.

“Does that help, tantei?~”
