Seventeenth Case

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ it's a beautiful day! The sun is shining, the monkeys are screeching, there's free cake at the inn and a giant banner that says (more or less) HAPPY BELATED ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY TEAR AND HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY KAITO. Because with Kaito's luck with birthdays, Kazuha isn't taking any chances this time. ]

Okay, so that's two cakes and presents, and the food's done, so that should take care of everything! I'm definitely gonna make sure nothing goes wrong this time! No crazy events, no... love nesting, and no fish in sight! This'll be the best birthday ever!!

... Wait, if we're celebrating Kaito-kun's again, then-- I skipped mine, didn't I?

((Yeah, Tear's anniversary present sucked, and Kaito has the worst luck with birthdays, so Kazuha's combining things. Go ahead and threadhop whoever you so wish. Or just show up to snag some cake.))

Hm?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Honestly, you worry too much. [ lifting herself to grab a towel off the counter to start drying herself ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

I don't worry-- *just shoving off his vest*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Okay fine, you mission too much-- [ no Crow we mustn't-- I mean ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

I ain't worried--! *don't be like that--*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Really.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Well then, time to go clean up the rest of the inn!

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*YOINK* Not funny!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

And yet I feel like laughing.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

'Cause you're a sadist, that's why.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

.........

Oh, really?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*not looking at her and grumbling and annoyed and pouting and probably about to be filled with regret--* Yeah, really.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ well, since he already removed his vest, going to slip her fingers under his arms and wriggle.

Without mercy. ]

Looks like you're still not thinking before you open your mouth.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

-- Gck!! *straightening immediately and gasping and will not give her a laugh, will not* S-Sadist! I told you!!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Sadists don't make people laugh, now do they? [ alternating tickling strokes ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

F-First time for everything!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

You're the one who started this. [ leaning closer ] Spiky-han.

[ UPPING THE WRIGGLING. ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

M-Me!? Bulls-shit!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ just staring at him flatly ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

How did I start it?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

You're-- you're so stubborn! You're ten times more stubborn than I ever was! You're even more stubborn than Heiji!

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Wha-- How am I stubborn!? You're the one who's being stubborn!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

How'm I being stubborn?! You're the one who can't even say he's worried like a normal person--

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

'Cause, whatever I am, if you weren't bein' so stubborn, it wouldn't come up in the first place!
