[In the cell]

It had been 4 days, 17 hours, 37 minutes and 23 seconds since he had been invited to the Fire Nation. The distance between walls were less than 5.5 meters, and there were 157 bricks on the wall, 12 of them broken. Saguru Hakuba counted them. Not just because he was really bored, but because he liked to count things to keep his mind busy.

He had tried to practice some fencing too, it was not the same without a real opponent, or a real sword- but he could practice the steps, and it kept him from freezing.

They called that cells Coolers. It was an adequate name.

The coldness of the cell permeated the blond to the bone, while he wait, listening, hoping against hope that Akako wasn't going to try anything drastic. Hakuba knew that to survive, he had to adapt- to keep cool, learn to give and take pain as it comes. Sometimes he got scared, too. In fact, he was scared often, more for the other than himself, but he couldn''t show it - in a place like this, if you admit weakness, you're a dead man. It's as simple as that, as sure as a wounded fish is a meal for hungry sharks. Mercy doesn't exist. Second chances are about as rare.

So, here, in the coldness dark, he waited.

[On the palace]

Akako was not a happy witch. Between having her boyfriend kidnapped (no matter how many times the princess insisted it was an arrest, she'd never believe her) and being bested by the mousy girl (it had taken all night to heal the bruises!) she was in a horrid mood. All she wanted to do was rescue Hakuba, take him home with her, and go to sleep... preferably with him lying next to her, but eh. Minor details!

Akako approached the prison again, a bit more weary this time, and kept her eyes open for Ty Lee. She wouldn't be taken off guard and beaten up like that again.

The bruises really did hurt.

Akako frowned. "Don't ask such questions if you don't mean them," she retorted curtly. She pulled away and spun around to walk towards the kitchen. "Let me know when you're done then."

"I mean it, it's just...not now" Hakuba murmured to the empty corridor, confused. He really wanted to be with her, but he was afraid that they were going a bit too fast. They been dating for less than a week after all, and he was...and old fashioned guy.

Saguru shacked his head an entered the bathroom hoping that Akako's bathtub don't have snake-shapes designs.

Unfortunately, Akako's bathtub had snake-shaped faucets. She was a fan of the snake motif, after all.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Akako sat at her dining room table blowing on her own cup of tea, lost in her own thoughts.

As tired as he was, Sakuba couldn't think of an occasion where he bathed faster. He just couldn't stand at the reptiles, even if they weren't real. His mid section was covered with a towel, but he couldn't find the pajamas Akako promised him.

She will probably conjured them in the kitchen, just to torture him. With a discontent sigh, the blond teenager went to the kitchen and knocked at the door, opening it a bit to see where Akako was, but trying to not show much of himself.

"Uhm, Akako, my love...you forgot something."

occ he told Tyki about the piercing prank, but he really didn't' tell him if he still has it or not, so your choice. >:3

Akako glanced up from her tea to see Hakuba peeking through the kitchen door. She chuckled to herself and waved a hand, and suddenly a nice pair flannel pajamas appeared on the chair next to her.

Then she went back to sipping her tea.

Why yes, she did expect him to come into the kitchen to fetch the pajamas himself.

((I-I think he would have taken it out XD So... not there anymore?))

"Akako..." Hakuba frowned. The girl keep sipping her tea. He frowned more. She smiled. Hakuba sighed as he entered the kitchen, and went near her. He took the pajamas and blushed a bit.

"Thanks."

(OOC: it's gone :3)

Akako watched as Hakuba entered the kitchen to retrieve his pajamas.

For a detective... he really was in shape. And he was so cute when he blushed.

"Are you going to change in here?" She teased with one eyebrow arched in amusement.

Hakuba blushed even more. He knew that the answer If you want me wasn't a good idea, Because Akako was probably serious again. He really didn't felt like opening his mouth, he will cave his own grave if he do it, so he shacked his head and ran away from the kitchen.

He returned less than five minutes later, still embarrassed, but feeling much better now that he was decent. he offered a hand to Akako.
"Aren't you tired? Do you want to catch some sleep?"

By the time he was done, Akako had finished her tea. She reached up, took the detective's hand, and allowed him to help her out of her seat. Sleep sounded like a good thing right now, particularly since she was still exhausted.

... even though she still wasn't having decent thoughts.

"Yes," she responded, "I haven't slept well since you were kidnapped."

Hakuba put an arm around Akako's waist and pulled her close to him. As they walked, he found himself searching for her contact in every occasion that he had.

"My either, my love." the blonde boy kissed her forehead. "I couldn't stop thinking about you, I will never forgive myself if something happens to you because of me. I'm surprised that you forgive me."

They where now in front of Akako's bedroom

Akako frowned. "There really isn't anything for you to apologize for," she responded.

"I need to be more careful." He murmured in a soft voice, a bit angry with himself. He looked at the door for a moment and then smiled back at her.

"So uhm...I should let you rest."

The witch hesitated for a moment, before she tugged lightly on Hakuba's hand. "Come to bed with me," she said, the tone of her voice conveying that the request was purely innocent in nature... despite earlier thoughts to the contrary.

Uh?. Hakuba's brain stopped for a moment and she blushed furiously.

"If that's what you want, my love." He followed her into the chamber like a nervous puppy and sat down on the bed directly next to her.

Akako didn't waste any time wrapping her arms around Hakuba and burying her face into his neck. She could tell he was nervous... but it was incredibly adorable at the same time.

Besides, it's not like she would try anything. Maybe.

Hakuba sighed and gently shifted his grip so that he was holding Akako better, her body curled up against his, his hands gently stroking her hair. He moved them so they were lying on the bed and curled against her.

"I'm still cold...." The young detective murmured, enjoying the simple contact.

"Mmmph..." was Akako's response, although she had tried to say 'use the covers.'

But by this time, as she curled up next to the detective, she was already half asleep.

Saguru sighed happily and he could tell that she was nearly sleep. He reached up and took his hand, he ran her fingers over is palm then her fingers. He played with her hand, not saying and word, enjoying the simple contact, until he fell sleep.
