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.

E-eh??

Yeah, seriously! They come waltzing in, after we've got things great, and then showing us how we can't be "as happy"? Forget them! We can be as happy as them, and then we can be ten times happier! So what if they were different? We're different from them, that just means we've got the potential to be happier too - they just had a head start is all!

Besides, from the same place? S'getting to the point where we're both from here, isn't it? I think that counts a little bit, right?!

... [ honestly speechless at first-- and opening her mouth, then shutting it, and then, very quietly, starting to laugh ]

I-I think it counts more that we're from different places and got this far despite that!

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Yeah! *nodnod, and starting to laugh not that she's getting him started* Damn right it does! They had it easy compared to us! We're gonna kick their asses!

[ which isn't helping her with stopping ] There you go, we were stopping ourselves.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Which just means we have to start ourselves now instead.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Start... how?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

...

Beats me.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

.....

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Uh...

Besides for the being from the same place thing, what was something they had a lot of that we don't have right now?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ tactfully skipping the YOU WENT TO SCHOOL part and actually giving this some thought-- and then turning red ]

They did a lot of... holding, I guess. Just being together without doing much else. Not that we don't do that sometimes, but...

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Holding, huh? ... *turning a bit red himself now* Want to give it a try?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I... guess so.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

No harm, right?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... Right.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Want to do it now?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Not in the hall.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Yeah, I figured. C'mon, they did it in my-- I mean, his room sometimes anyway... *awkwardly walking off down the hall*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ just as awkwardly trailing after ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*and entering his room!!* Here we go.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... [ and now it's time to STAND awkwardly! ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Where do you think we should do this?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ do not look at the bed do not do not ] Maybe against one of the walls, on the floor?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Better question, with places like that to work with, how long do you want to do it for?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... Your turn to answer.
