Authors note: Psycho pass may be one of my favorite anime shows ever because one: I'm a psych major, two: it's a distopia, three: CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, four: Akane's morals don't degrade despite the atrocities she sees everyday and finds practical ways to uphold them, five: KOGAMI. I think he'd give any woman the yummy shivers. Anyway . . . Ko and Akane are both far too professional to ever have a romantic relationship, but if by some blessing they did, someone else would have to act as a catalyst. Then it would develop very slowly with a lot of denial. So here's my take. Will try to update every week. Kick my butt into gear if I don't. Please. I actually want to finish this one.

The Prank

Suzume must have been in a forgiving mood tonight. That's the thought that ran through his half conscious mind when Kogami felt warmth pressing against his side. He would never admit it out loud but he cherished that warmth, and every once in a while when it was missing he would feel a dull ache. That's why he instinctively took the opportunity to wrap his fiancé into a close embrace. The coveted creature comfort lulled him back into a deep and dreamless sleep in a record breaking 32.4 seconds.

The next time Kogami woke up, it was from a shrill "EEEP!" accompanied by some annoying squirming. He grunted and tightened his hold a little to try and restrain the woman in his arms from disturbing him anymore- if it was in his power to prolong the moment then he would.

"Mr. Kogami! Please let me go," she pleaded a little desperately. Wrong woman- oops.

"Well, aren't you two just precious. I'm impressed Tsunemori, I didn't know you had it in you," Shion Karanomori walked into the recovery room smirking devilishly and placed a manicured hand on her cocked hip.

Akane finally worked herself free and got to her feet, "This isn't what it looks like, I swear! I don't even remember getting in bed with him!" Her face colored immediately which did nothing to help the incriminating appearance of her rumpled hair and cloths.

Kogami adjusted himself in bed with some difficulty given the still fresh wounds wrapped around his torso. He always put himself (and the team) in such high risk situations. When the sheet fell into his lap Akane almost groaned in frustration to see that the doctors had left him shirtless in order to access his bandages better. None of this was helping her plea of innocence

"So your'e sexually attracted to me, it's not a big deal Tsunemori. I won't hold it against you," Kogami said smoothly.

"But I'm not attracted to you! Not even a little!" The enforcer raised one sharp eyebrow. Akane scrambled to save herself, "I mean, not that you're unattractive, it's just that you're not- I wouldn't - and you're my subordinate! I'm always professional, I've never even had time for romance and-"

"Oh sweetie," Shion shook her head in pity, "you don't have to have something as tedious as romance to get in bed with a man."

"B-but that's not how it is at all! I would never- I just- it's not like-" she was getting too worked up to make any sense so she squared her shoulders and took a deep breath. "The last thing I remember is sitting in that chair-" she pointed at the rigid wooden seat beside her definitively, "and monitoring Mr. Kogami's recovery."

". . . I bet you could file a sexual harassment complaint," the blond directed her gaze at the enforcer.

"Mm, you've got a point," he mumbled around a cigarette he had yet to light.

Akane collapsed into the chair, face buried in her hands and elbows resting on her knees, "Oh, I'm so confused."

"Actually you're quite strait dear, which is a real shame by the way," Shion said eyeing her until an orange haired delinquent cackling from the door frame caught her attention. "For once, letting you drag me out of my office was worth it. I'd say this is your best work yet."

"I agree with that last bit. You can never have enough back mail material," Kagari grinned dangerously.

"Well, there's your culprit. Turns out your innocence is as untarnished as ever inspector," Kogami concluded before exhaling a steady stream of smoke.

"You're responsible for this?" the victim questioned with wide eyes.

The guilty party looked all too proud as he incriminated himself, "Yup! But I only put you in the bed, what happened after that was all you." He winked at her and she actually did groan at that. "By the way Akane-chan, you're way too light. You should probably think about putting on some weight before a criminal blows you away. You're also a freakishly deep sleeper, I almost dropped you and you didn't even flinch."

The young inspector was already spent and it was still early in the morning. She dragged herself out of the room unnoticed by the rest of the group who kept up the banter.

"Should you really be smoking in a hospital?"

"This isn't even a real hospital."

"I thought Ginoza confiscated all your smokes from this place."

"That's what I want him to think, now keep your mouth shut about it and get the hell out of my room. You're delaying my recovery."

Akane muttered under her breath, "I'm going to drink a whole pot of coffee."
