A/N: This was inspired by a prompt on Tumblr.
It was dark in Kaito's apartment, and the hour was late. They should have gone to their own beds hours ago.
Kaito had to remind himself that Mizael's stay was temporary. The Barian had nowhere else to go at the moment.
"Mizael?"
Mizael couldn't hear Kaito; his gaze was fixed on the city that lay beyond the glass of the window. Searchingly, softly, he placed a hand against it.
"Mizael? Do you enjoy the view? Do you like it here?" He repeated his question.
Startled, Mizael jerked to his attention before he turned around to face him.
"I suppose it will do." Mizael's voice was cool and mellow.
As always, Mizael emotions remained in control; his feathers remained unruffled.
Kaito was still genuinely curious. "But, why were you staring?"
Kaito thought that Mizael would evade his question, however, he did not.
"Beautiful memories that I can't remember at the moment," was the Barian's intriguing reply.
Kaito allowed the honest poignancy of the answer to permeate the room.
Kaito wanted to embrace him then, but once again, he did not.
It was best not to let emotions get involved with his rival.
