01: Kiss on Forehead
Things had been even more hectic at SPK ever since one of Near's puzzle pieces had mysteriously 'disappeared'. Everyone had been searching all day, yet with no avail.
Being the closest to the white haired detective, you were the one who had to break the news. It didn't take you long to find him, crouched over the puzzle upon the floor of his room.
You crouched down to his level, about to tell him the news, only to be haltered in your tracks when you caught sight of his face.
Near was a man whom barely showed his emotions, so you were more than shocked at the sadness you saw etched upon it.
You couldn't stand it.
"Hey, Near?"
He titled his head towards you, only to have the grief in his eyes replaced with minor shock as you gently pressed your lips against his forehead.
"We couldn't find the piece, but I can get you a new puzzle if you want."
Your eyes met with his as you witnessed his lips twitch upward slightly.
"Thank you, [Name]."
You smiled.
If comforting Near resulted in him giving this sort of response.
"No problem, Nate."
Then perhaps you should lose his puzzle pieces more often.
