Sixteenth Case

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ this is probably about as predatory as you will ever see Kazuha look.

But when it involves certain teenage boy detectives who - for once - aren't her childhood friend, it's probably understandable.

Never mind the fact that she's soaked, sacrifices must be made. ]

Kudo Shinichi. I don't know how long you've been hiding out here, but I'm gonna find you.

[ LIGHTNING CRACKLE ]

And then we're going to have a nice, long talk.

*noticing that* ...

*okay we're done with word time, time for a hug*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ very stubbornly biting her lip so she doesn't cry, but returning that hug almost immediately ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*wrapping his arms all the way around, pulling her close, and he won't be letting go*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I'll wait. [ closing her eyes briefly ] I-I'll wait for you, so you'd better do your best.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

My best? *a little laugh* My best won't have anything on me then. Gonna have to invent a new word for what I'll be doing, because I'll find a way, and I won't stop looking until I find it.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

R-right... [ yeeeeaaah kinda losing the fight not to cry ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*giving her a squeeze, then pulling back to kiss at some of those tears :(* I promise-- No, I swear-- No, I'm just flat out telling you a fact. I'm going to find you again.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ closing her eyes at that and taking a shaky breath-- and managing a nod after a couple of minutes ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Good. *and then he'll take a breath himself and resume hugging*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ kind of burrowing closer at that and resuming the holding on ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*kissing head head again and will continue holding and hugging her* Just you wait. You'll see.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Never doubted you for a second.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

I know.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ and all the tension will be leaving her at that ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*and will probably just stay like this for a little while*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ fair enough, she's fine with that ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*a long, long while later*

... Hey.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ a little groggily ] Hm?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

I think we're pretty good at this holding thing after all.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... You're right.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Pleasure workin' with ya.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ still looking a little worn out, but then smiling at him ] Yeah. Same here.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Let's do it again real soon.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I've gotta get back, you know...

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... It still sounds pretty bad out there.
