Hakuba swallowed as he got closer and now he was starting to think this was a bad idea. He gripped his trench coat with his hands, but if the other moved to open it, he would let it drop. He still refused to look at him, ears turning red and adding to the blush on his face, it was slowly making it’s way to his neck as well. He knew as soon as the trench coat was removed he would be laughed at.

“Nothing.”

Kid stared for a few moments, but when it seemed like Hakuba wasn’t going to budge, he slowly straightened. The only things stopping him from going ahead and opening the coat was his own rule and his stubbornness at following it.

He let out a quiet sigh before bringing his hands up in front of himself, and started removing one of his gloves. Yes, a quite literal ‘the gloves were off’. And once one of them was, he tucked it away in a pocket before reaching across Hakuba to cup the air just a hairsbreadth away from the other’s cheek, a smirk beginning to play on his lips as he leaned in closer.

“…Is that supposed to be you saying I don’t get a hint… or is that the hint itself?~”

Hakuba finished his glass of wine and picked up his plate, walked around and picked up Kuroba’s as well. He left the question hanging as he headed back to the kitchen, placing them on the table where the maid would get to it in the morning. He paused for a second, grabbing himself a glass of wine that was here in the kitchen, drank that before heading back out to stand beside Kuroba. He knelt down and picked up the box, handing it to the other, smiling a little.

“Next you open your present.” Hakuba waited for him to take the box before he leaned against the table slightly, watching intently.

When the detective didn’t answer and started moving to collect the plates, he got a feeling he knew what was coming. Another glance was sent to the box before the other came back and, sure enough, picked it up and held it out. He sighed inwardly as he took it and set it down on the now empty spot in front of him.

He lightly took hold of the ribbon close to the base, letting it slide through his fingers before actually pulling it from the ends. Once undone, it fell around the box and he removed the lid, raising an eyebrow at finding three more.

“…Looks more like presents, to me…” he commented as he removed them, pushing the larger box back slightly. He opened the smallest box first, flushing slightly as he heard the bell and pulled out the collar.

…He really did get one…

He set it out and put the box back where it had come from. After taking a second to decide, the looked in the longer box next, not too surprised at seeing the tail. And, yep, the last one had the ears.

A finger absently rubbed the fake fur as he held the band in front of him, then turned towards Hakuba.

“…And I suppose you want me to put them all on now.” A resigned statement. Not questioning. Kaito had guessed these would show up and didn’t really mind at this point. The detective had gone out of his way to make him feel more comfortable, so if Hakuba really wanted him to wear them, he would.
