Sixteenth Case

[ 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.

[ pushing herself onto her elbows, then ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

You're not giving up, are you?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

You oughtta know me better than that.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

I could say the same thing.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

You're gonna have to do a lot better than pinning me to keep me here, Spiky-han.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Don't suppose you're going to share any hints, are you? I've been trying pretty damn hard and you just keep beating me down.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ not bothering to answer, just trying to squirm her way out from under him ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*arms on her shoulders now* You know I know how you feel. Probably better than you do. *leaning down now*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ whyyy is he coming closer-- and looking more than a little frustrated right now ] Then why are you--??

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*because he is going to give her a quick kiss... and then promptly start getting off her*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

...! [ didn't see that one coming at all ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Go on. I wouldn't let something get in the way of me and mine either. Just... maybe come back when it clears up, if you're going to be this stubborn, okay?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ still... blinking and trying to take this in, but slowly sitting up ] Come back?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*moving to the side a little to lean against something* If you want to-- But if they need you more by the time that happens, forget about it.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

...

[ not actually looking forward to another dash in the rain, but responsibility takes priority right now, so she's glancing at him and giving him a smile that's a mix of apologetic and grateful ]

Sorry. I know you were saying all of that for my sake, but I...

... [ and now that smile is turning rueful ] I'm not the kind of girl who takes care of herself first.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*shakes his head and waves a hand at her, mirroring her smile now* Forget about it. I've known that ever since we started practicing.

You just better watch out, because I'm the kind of guy who takes care of the people he cares about. Next time, it won't be so easy.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I'll remember that. [ pausing, then moving in closer for a slightly-longer-than-quick kiss before she's pulling back and getting to her feet to head for the door for changing time /o/ ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

You'd better. *and he will just watch her go and continue to lean here and ponder things and wait*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ and gradually poking her head back in-- and her clothes aren't completely dry, but they're better than they were ]

I'm heading off now...

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Can I give you something to cover up?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... Sure you can.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Let me just find something-- *and now he's breaking into his closet of various things he's found here to look*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ leaning in the doorway and just watching ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*eventually pulling out a parka-like... thing* Here's this. Never used it, but I was hanging onto it just in case - looks like I made a good call.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ heading on over ] Thanks-- looks like that'll work great.
