    Summary

    Ouma sighs deeply to himself, shifting from his spot on his bed and turning to lay on his side. He wants to go to bed, and he wants to stop thinking about Saihara.

     

    Ouma hardly ever gets what he wants though.

    Summary

    “I don’t know,” Kokichi pretends to think it over, tapping a finger against his lips, “Maybe you’re plotting a crime against me right now.” Kokichi’s eyes narrow, and his gaze turns sly, “Maybe you’re trying to steal my heart!”

    Shuichi doesn’t understand it. These little pokes and prods in the direction of flirting. He knows he isn’t the only one reaching out. He’s watched Kokichi’s cheeks go pink and his head duck to hide it. The nicknames and brash declarations of love sound a little more honest sometimes, tinged with quiet affection. On Shuichi’s more generous days, he lets himself admit that the signs point to Kokichi wanting to reach out in the same way that Shuichi does.

    And yet, Kokichi pulls away. It’s frustrating.

    “And if I am?” It comes tumbling out of his mouth before Shuichi thinks better of it.

    Kokichi’s eyes widen, and his face goes carefully blank. The muscle in his jaw jumps when he clenches his teeth, and he swallows.

    “I’d say,” he murmurs, violet eyes flashing with something sharp and bright, “That you have to catch me first, Mr. Detective.”

    Then he’s gone.

    ~~~~~~

    In which Shuichi cracks his most fascinating case yet: Kokichi Ouma.

    “Does this count as catching you?”

    Or maybe he’s destined to ruin every good thing that comes his way. Maybe it’s just in his nature to poke and prod at things until they crack open.

    Kokichi’s face goes carefully blank, and Shuichi thinks that maybe he’s actually ruined everything. He props himself up on one elbow, hovering over Shuichi. Shuichi rolls onto his back, looking up at him. His tongue itches with the urge to apologize, to beg Kokichi not to leave, to swear that he won’t bring it up again.

    He’ll never solve another mystery in his life if it means that he gets to keep this. He won’t push any more, he won’t ask for any more answers, he won’t try to take more than he deserves. Just as long as he can keep this.

    “I think you caught me a long time ago,” Kokichi whispers, “I was just too afraid to admit it.”

    Summary

    Packing is a lot harder than it needs to be, when your boyfriend is annoyingly sentimental, bratty, and has a mild case of hoarding.

    "There were snowflakes in Ouma-kun’s hair, he realized dimly, and faint patches of ice where his breath had condensed on his scarf while they were standing here. In that moment, he looked unbearably cute.

    Ouma-kun closed the gap between them, kissing him."

    Summary

    Even if that hand reaches out to him, Ouma won't pull it, or let himself be pulled. A helping hand is useless if the person being helped spurns it. The loop continues again.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "Once, a long time ago, he had wondered to himself if noticing all the little details about someone was a symptom of falling in love. Tonight, he now knows another truth: that noticing someone else was the first step to falling in love, yes, but that being understood was the first step to truly caring.
    It’s such an incredibly, wonderfully not-boring sensation."
