(It takes place just after this)

After the crowned city of Junon, the calm atmosphere of Ekoda's afternoon was something welcome. There was no one on the street to notice their arrival.

Hakuba wasn't quite sure how this meeting was going to be played. It was a sensation he should be used to, the uncertainty. He was never certain when it came to the Phantom Thief. But he usually didn't leave butterflies wiggling in the pit of his belly like today.

The detective had very little qualms about admitting that he was a bit of a control freak. But sometimes you had to give up some control to gain control. He wanted to know more about the other man, so he was able to tell him about himself too. After all, Tyki already knew that he was trying to defeat a secret organization, what he didn't know yet is how far the (K)id and he were going to reach that goal.

Tyki was still holding him close, Hakuba tuned his head to him to see a pair of golden eyes staring at his own from scant millimeters away.

“My house is that way.” He murmured. “If you don’t mind to walk a bit...”*

"He's not exactly a foe, but he's not definitely my friend either." His grin turned a little bit sharper. Upside down piranha would have friendlier smiles. "But he certainly made me do some things that I never imagined."

At Tyki curious gaze he quickly clarified. "I'm talking about the heists. I don't feel nothing romantic for him, even if a lot of people thinks I do."

Tyki's eyebrows had been rising and his lips twisting with curiosity, and Hakuba's hasty clarification didn't necessarily convince him. "Oh really?" he purred. "So he brings you excitement, but not carnally."

He leered at the other man, setting his tea cup aside. "Have you done illegal things? Participated in any of these heists? Or is it purely the battle of wits between you and the Kid, as he tries to pull off the heists and you try to stop him?" he asked curiously.

"He bring me head aches." The young man replied sharply. "And I know that he's already in love with someone, that's his worse weakness." Hakuba's expression got softer. "She's part of the reason we are allies too."

"I participate in his heist as the detective that I am. My final goal is to catch him. But the latest heist was..something we planned, to try to defeat a worse criminal." Hakuba was telling all this to Tyki because he was sure that the other man could keep the secret, after all, Tyki had worse secrets than him.

"I don't do illegal things, I 'm not going to break that line. Curve it, though..."

Tyki considered what Hakuba was telling him, nodding slowly. Interesting that he wouldn't break the line - bend it, but not break it - and yet he didn't seem to have an issue with becoming close to people who trampled all over it without a second thought.

"I wonder," he said softly. "If you truly had a chance to catch him, finally, if you would be able to bring yourself to do it."

Hakuba gave him a cold gaze, even if he was able to help a thief, there's some actions he wasn't disposed to do. the detective will never do a thing like that. It will destroy all he believe in, if he ever do that.

"The future is unknown, Tyki."He muttered, finally. Saguru took a sip of his tea and looked at Tyki's eyes again. "Golden is a beautiful color."

He smiled, blushing slightly. "the rest of your family have those eyes too?"

Tyki smiled wryly, though he didn't push the matter, allowing Hakuba to change the subject and steer them into less volatile territory. He was right, the future was unknown. Perhaps Hakuba himself didn't know what he'd do.

"Yes, we do," he said, moving closer to the other man. He lifted a hand and caught a lock of blond hair between his fingertips, rolling it and watching as it caught the light. "You're right, gold is a beautiful colour," he purred.

What was it with him and blonds lately?

He was not complaining about the attention, but he wondered if Tyki was always flirting like that with everyone, just like Johnny when he saw a woman. Hakuba watched silently as Tyki played with his hair. Damn that aura he had about him, that feeling he gave off that made you want to tell him everything, share all your dark secrets. He had to resist that, if only to protect his sanity, there’s was some things he did that was better not to think about.

“I am surprised. Being as charming as you are..and you’re not with someone?” He finally said lamely after grappling for a few seconds.
