Frowned at sound of the agency door opening, Kogoro no doubt sneaking out to check out that new pachinko parlor now that Ran was asleep. While he silently judged the Sleeping Detective’s life choices, he shut the book in front of him. It was probably time for him to get some sleep himself.
Leaving the book on his desk for now–so that he could access it quickly when he woke up, he started heading over to his bed. He often kept his shoes on indoors despite it seeming rude because he felt vulnerable without them, especially on days where cases happened. Today’s case had been pretty bad, so he hadn’t taken them off since coming home. Well, until now, since he was going to bed.
Placed the shoes by the edge of his bed, put his watch and bowtie on his nightstand, and went to turn off the light. Heard a click just as his hand reached for the switch. Immediately turned around, seeing the intruder.
“W-what the–” Wasn’t sure who he was or what he was doing entering his room from the window, but he was not in the mood, especially since he had just taken off half of his weapons!
“N-niichan, this is my room!” Tried his best to act the part of a confused child as he edged towards his shoes. Hoping to get to them without seeming too suspicious, before he noticed the card gun in the other’s hand. His hammering heart slowed instantaneously.
An intruder, yes, but not necessarily a danger. Still didn’t know what he was doing here, maybe to return the jewel he stole tonight? Now that he placed a name to the intruder–as much of a name as he knew the other by, anyway, he noticed the faint presence he could feel whenever he was nearby. “K-KID? What the hell?”
The for-once-black clad thief simply gave a teasing smile to the chibi as he lightly closed the window some (not all the way, just in case), then took the few steps to take a seat on the bed. The card gun went into a pocket, hopefully not to be used again until he left. ‘Hopefully’ hinging on the other’s reaction to him being here.
“Aww, I think I preferred the ‘niichan’, if you’re going to curse at me tantei-kun~ Should I be worried, that some random intruder gets the cute treatment?”
Not as though said treatment worked on him, when he did know what the detective was capable of. Trust him, the aiming for the shoes didn’t go unnoticed. Tsk, tsk, tantei-kun, you knows those don’t belong in here… Though speaking of weapons, his ‘reason’ for dropping in…
A quick glance told him he’d been right that the smaller didn’t keep any of his usual on him. Hmm… not sure whether he should be relieved or worried about that, really. On the one hand, means he’s not going to be knocked out for bugging the smaller at random like this. On the other… the detective did have a tendency to attract crimes. …Not that many would try and break in a third story window to an older detective’s room though. Or mess with the martial artists if they were aware. …Pretty safe even without weapons on, now that Kid thought about it…
It might have been considered slightly creepy to have staked out the agency after the heist. …Or, well, very creepy. Especially considering he had no clear reason to, when the others hadn’t even come to this one. Outside of their range. For the best they hadn’t come, really. Another confrontation with guns and still no red in the gem for his troubles.
Movement below disturbed the silence, and Kid glanced down at the stairs entrance to see Mouri-san leaving, chatting fairly loudly on the phone. Couldn’t imagine what could be so important that he had to leave at this time of night… But soon enough, he’s already gone down the road and the voice faded into quiet again.
Jeez… and what if someone did sneak i-… actually, nevermind. Mouri-chan is almost as good a ‘security system’ as that one guy. And not like tantei-kun can’t defend himself either.
…Well, wait, that might not be true… His ‘weapons’ weren’t really the type he could sleep with after all. Unless he felt really paranoid. Still, the thought of the chibi staring someone down with his watch held up brought a small smile. A funny image to have… even better if he had bedhead~
The thief’s grin faded as he considered, then moved from his spot. It… might be nice to know if the other does keep anything on standby. While he’s here and the ‘roommate’ out.
Not a target, currently, instead wrapped in the shadows of a plain shirt and jacket with a hat, the teen silently went around the building until he saw the window on the third floor he knew the detective should be in.
Seeing lights on in the bedroom did surprise him a moment, but didn’t take long for him to consider it might be more surprising if the other hadn’t been woken up by the older man leaving. Should be lucky the other bedroom light wasn’t on as well…
Well, I’m already here, so…
Only a minute (with his card gun) to get up the right level and unlock the window, pushing it open with all the casualness in the world and stepping in the room with his poker face in place.

Favorite Canon: That above OT3 totally exists in canon Outside of that… eh, AriannaxLuke
Favorite Crack: Antole. (Technically most M/M pairings for Layton, but that one is a fun if impossible idea)
Guilty Pleasure: DescoLay, LayClive
Pairing I Hate: Anything with Bill Hawks, and I know some exist. (People can try and make him likable and sympathetic, but my dislike of him is too strong to make any pairing not feel wrong.)
(detectivebarou) Cone: “I know, I’m sorry.” -Wasn’t sure if he could apologize to /one/ of the KIDs, just because he was messing with him back so much, but he really should. It wasn’t okay, even if it was an accident.-
He’ll pause a bit, then grin and ruffle the smaller’s hair.
“Hey, so long as you don’t use that to call me a pedo again, it’s fine. We were both a little too distracted at the time to pay it much mind anyway.” Not to mention it would have been more awkward. Easier to stick to what they needed to check on the blimp.
“Well, since there’s not much that can be done about it, I suppose I can acept that apology. …But that doesn’t apply to my other selves, as I’m sure you know.”
‘Teleiophilia – ‘attraction’ to those significantly older.’
“Even if society doesn’t have that as a crime, you also can’t turn the blame on the person who’s getting that unwanted attraction, tantei-kun. We’ll just be not so silently judging you instead. Don’t make your pass an excuse to say we’re the pedophile.”
(detectivebarou) “It was a/door/able. I had a crush on it because it was adorable.” ((haha omg you put so much thought into this, i’m sorry xD)) ((also omg kai yes technically that is a loophole))
“I’ll take that loophole, then~ Clearly I don’t find doors nearly as cute as the little tantei, to not jump to complimenting them.”
“A lamp? Not the electric ones, ones that use oil. The bird being the flame, ‘serpent’ being the mechanism, and urn containing oil? And assuming ‘drinking water’ means using up the oil,not actually getting doused in water, else the ‘bird’ would die before the ‘serpent’ stopped working. I don’t have any intention of quitting my job anytime soon, tantei-kun.”
“’If I can’t answer?’ So if I answer, but get it wrong, then I guess that means I keep my ring~ Regardless, might want to be careful for things having more than one answer. Made of heartwood came to mind first. Crush as in a type of drink that could have been placed on top…? No, wait, guess you’re a bit vertically challenged to do that. Or broken down by a mob and run over, or Mouri-chan kicking one down and doing the same. Or even less of an answer, but makes for a fun image, you ran into it? It had the ke- No, wait, need to save that comment, sorry.
If you try puns, even if they should be simple, hey can be so open-ended if you don’t set them up properly…”
