Saguru let out a soft hum as Tsuki elegantly flew through his study's window, a familiar ace of clubs dangling from her mouth. He'd learned the hard way that it was just easier to keep the window open, otherwise the dove would peck continuously at the glass until he gave in. The young dove was almost as stubborn as her owner.

He held out his palm to accept the card, almost smiling when Tsuki placed it in his hand "It's a lot better being the one getting gifts than to be stolen from" He gave Tsuki a good few scratches, having begrudgingly grown fond of her during these last few months. She was a sweetie once she stopped stealing from him.

Gold gleamed as he stared at the card, it suited the magician. Tsuki also wasn't the only one that his opinion of had changed. Ever since the dove had started her crime spree, Kaito had actually stopped pestering him so much. That meant that he'd been able to safely observe the magician without any fear, and what he'd found out had actually made him quite curious. Despite how flirtatious the magician often acted, Kaito was actually quite shy when it came to anything more serious than pure teasing. He also looked quite nice whenever he blushed, thankfully Tsuki had created lots of opportunities for him to see that blush.

Thinking back on it, Kaito was actually quite an attractive person, he just hadn't really payed attention since the pranks had always made him wary. He was physically attractive with his slender frame, unruly hair, and unique eyes. Paired with Kaito's obvious intellect, kindness, and countless talents, the magician may actually be someone who he could potentially see himself with.

He glanced at the dove, she'd increased their interaction rate exponentially. How could he use this to his advantage? Maybe trick the other into thinking that there was a misunderstanding? So long as he didn't try anything indecent it should be fine to trick Kaito into spending time with him.

"Here" Saguru offered a soft smile as he handed Kaito back a few cards and some more yen.

Indigos blinked "Thank you..." Kaito peered suspiciously at the other's retreating back. This was the first time that Saguru had smiled while returning his stuff. He glanced down, narrowing his gaze at the items in his hand, did the blond do something to them?

Another week went by before Saguru saw his change to potentially manipulate things in his favour. Gold gleamed at the fuzzy pink handcuffs that Tsuki had been so generous to give him, he knew that they were probably intended to be used in a prank at the next heist. But if he played things right...

"For some reason, I'm not all surprised that you're into bondage Kuroba" Saguru breathed as he handed Kaito the handcuffs, this time they were behind the school again.

Kaito's eyes widened "They're not for me!" His voice was a bit pitched, he'd been sure that he'd locked those away, how did Tsuki even get to them, let alone carry them?!

The blond raised a brow "Are you sure? I have nothing against you being into that kind of thing" Kaito in cuffs, that would be a pretty image indeed. Especially if he found a pair that even Kaito couldn't escape.

The magician spluttered, shaking his head in denial "No! they were for y-" He quickly bit his tongue to cut off the rest of his sentence. It wouldn't make any sense unless he admitted to buying them to humiliate Saguru at the next heist.

It was hard not to smirk at the other's words "For me?..." He gave a small frown "I'm sorry, but I need to get to know a person before I put them in cuffs"

Kaito's face burned "Why would I be the one in cuffs?!" He gave a small huff as he crossed his arms "I'm not Kid" He glanced away, mortified that Saguru probably now thought that he was both into bondage, and wanting to do it with him.

"I never said that you were" Saguru gave a show of looking Kaito over "Why don't we go to a cafe today after school to get to know each other better?" Gold gleamed "I'm not opposed to trying for a relationship with you" Kaito's face went red before he disappeared in a plume of white smoke.

Oh god, Kaito buried his face under his arms as he laid his head on his desk. How the hell did things come to this?! He apparently had a date with Hakuba Saguru after school! Dates didn't happen so easily did they? Weren't they supposed to be hard to get? He wasn't sure because this was going to be his first date...

Wait, why was he even thinking about it? It wasn't like he'd agreed to it or anything, he didn't have to show up. Kaito nursed his lip, did he want to go? He wasn't sure. Yes Saguru was kinda hot, but he was also a stuck up bastard who kept accusing him of being Kid.

Indigos narrowed in the darkness created by his arms, that had been true, but recently the blond had started to be less of a bastard. When was the last time that Saguru had truly accused him of being Kid?

No, bad Kaito! Don't even think about fraternizing with the enemy! Just go with him once to use his money for a chocolatey treat, then keep your distance.

Saguru inwardly smirked at the sight of Kaito with his head on his desk, only to chuckle when Tsuki came out from who knows where to yank a pretty violet handkerchief out of Kaito's pocket before flying over towards him.

The magician's reaction seemed promising enough. At the very least Kaito hadn't seemed repulsed at the idea of getting together with him. He couldn't wait until he truly got to know the person behind the mask, especially since someone like Kaito didn't seem like the kind of person who'd become a criminal just for fun.

He wanted to understand the magician, and if romance didn't pan out, maybe they could be friends.

Me: Saguru has his sights set on Kaito~ Will he succeed?

Poor Kaito is just confused~

This was fun to write, hope you enjoyed~
