Hey again guys! Seeing at least someone interested in my story gave me hope to continue. This probably won't be too long or anything but, we'll see wont we now? Anyway, don't forget to leave a comment please. They are much appreciated. As I said in the first chapter, this was spur of the moment so I wasn't t really happy with the last chapter /sigh/… to make up for it however I put quite a bit more thought than the last chapter into this one :) I'm trying to keep them in character as best I can so if I'm doing it wrong or anything( maybe there's something I can improve on?) just let me know.

Now, on with the show~

Disclaimer – if I owned it, I wouldn't be posting this on a fan fiction site.

When Hattori finally snapped out of his shocked stupor, he realized that the other detective had been calling his name repeatedly.

"Hattori!" Hakuba called," are you coming?" blinking a few times Heiji nodded.

"Yeah….coming" he said as he jogged to catch up to the other teen who was already standing in front of a large door. Reaching into his pocket, Hakuba pulled out his key and inserted it into the lock. Realizing that this was not Kudo's house, Hattori huffed.

"Wait 'a second... I thought we were going ta see Kudo?" Hattori asked crossing his arms in annoyance.

"well plans changed," Hakuba stated matter-of-factly" would you like to come in?" he said gesturing inside. Hattori huffed but complied none the less. Hakuba's house was nice. The entrance hall was spacious with a general color scheme of mahogany. A large crystal chandelier cast a gentle glow, just enough to be bright but not so as to hurt your eyes. "This way." The half-brit detective said motioning towards a door.

Once they were seated comfortably in the living room, a warm cup of Earl Grey in hand, Hattori decided he had waited long enough.

"A 'right now why'd ya bring me ta 'ur house? He asked with a raised eyebrow "I thought we were goin' ta see Kudo!"

Hakuba sighed "well to be honest Hattori, I thought maybe you would have had some idea of Kudo-san and Kuroba's …well…whatever it is they have, considering that your closer to Shinichi-san than I am to Kaito-kun. However when you didn't seem to know what I was talking about, I figured maybe we could come back here and discuss our plan of action." Hattori nodded although something had been bothering him.

"Okay then… Hakuba, why're ya digging' around in our friend's private lives?" suddenly a thought struck the detective "let's say they do have 'a thing going' on…'ur not against it are ya?" Hattori seriously hoped that the detective wasn't, because he was certainly not going to tell Kudo not to be with someone he cared about! And if he was, well… let's just say he would have some choice words for the Half-brit bastard.

Hakuba blinked as the other's expression turned from that of friendly inquiry to 'make one wrong move and your dead' in the span of a second.

"What? N-no of course I'm not against it!" Hakuba shook his head watching as the other teen relaxed some, "Quite the opposite actually! No, the only reason I want to confront them is because I believe that they shouldn't have to hide their relationship from us, their friends of all people! I mean Kudo-san did tell us about being Conan and Kuroba told us about being KID, not that I didn't already know." Heiji thought about it for a moment. He was right. The too shared more about their lives than anything, so it would be strange to hide a relationship, but still….

"Well what'f they have good reason ta hide it from us?" Heiji suggested "Or what if they're afraid we won't accept it? Or what'f their plannin' ta tell us soon? Or, oh I don' know, THEY ARN'T EVEN DAITIN' AT ALL!" the Osakan's voice had risen gradually until he was yelling.

Hakuba blinked a bit shocked. Heiji calmed down taking a breath. "All I'm sayin' is that ya don't have enough proof."

Hakuba sighed. Heiji was right, he was severely lacking in the proof department. … This could be a problem…

"Well…I do suppose you're right…" he conceded "but that's why I asked you to meet me. You see as I mentioned you're much closer to Kudo-kun than I am, and with your help I believe we should be able to garner sufficient 'proof'. "Hakuba raised an eyebrow, "is that quite alright with you~?" he said with a smirk. Almost as if challenging the western detective to argue with him.

"I guess so…" Said detective then smirked at his companion." Good ta see ya back ta yer old self, Hakuba. I was beginin' ta get worried~!" Hakuba chuckled.

"Yes, well I suppose I was acting a bit out of character wasn't I? Well I guess it can be attributed to the fact that I was admittedly a bit nervous about this meeting …" at Hattori's slightly confused look Hakuba sighed, " I thought that you might have already known about our friends possible relationship, and figured you would just laugh at my face and take the next train back to Osaka…" Hakuba trailed off slightly embarrassed. Hattori blinked at the other teen before smiling gently at him.

"Ya, tha's probably how it 'a gone~… but jus' for the record, I wouldn't have laughed in yer face…" It was Hakuba's turn to blink." I'd a probably jus' said somethin' like "wha' took ya so long ta figure it out huh?" or somethin' like that…"

Deciding it was probably a good idea to change the subject the half-brit cleared his throat.

"Well thank you Hattori-kun… that certainly puts my nerves at ease… So back to our plan…"

...

Hey thanks for the reviews on the last chapter! It made me want to keep writing :)

Anyway, this has basically no outline( this chapter I mean , I already know what's gonna happen next chapter) so I kind of winged it.

I seriously hope the line break things show up…

Well sorry for the random- ness school has just started up again after winter break and combined with this cold weather I'm pretty much fried lol.

Anyway please review and tell me what you think.

Thanks for reading~!
