"...I think that's yours..."
With a groan, the sleuth rolled over in tired frustration, the only light in the room coming from her phone vibrated erratically due to an incoming call. "Who would need my presence at this time of the night unless it's an emergency..." She wondered tiredly. Her eyes instantly snapped awake due to her thinking it might be coming from home.
"...Mmm..." Her bed partner groaned who was snuggling against her. He was barely awake but was attempting to listen in.
Naoto reached over and picked up the device making sure it's not from the Shirogane Estate and sighed with relief as it was a number she didn't recognise. She sat up drawing the covers over her body as she answered the call.
"Hello, Shirogane speaking?" She said with a tired politeness.
"Shirogane-san, sorry I'm phoning really late but we had a large change of plans in the case you're working on." She raised an eye brow but the shirtless Souji just wrapped his arms around her waist and snuggled closer to her.
"What has been the change of development?" She asked, her work tone starting to seep though.
"We have found someone for questioning but there in Tokyo, we'll be sorting out an internal flight in the morning for you to go, it will only be a day trip however." Naoto nodded tiredly as the hold Souji had tightened.
"Tell them to hurry up and piss off." Souji grumbled. The sleuth smiled, she forgot how protective Souji got of her when he was tired or sleepy. During at the middle of the night, it's one of the few occasions he ever turns off his internal filters, so he actually speaks his mind quite literally. It's not like Naoto minds; she's the same with him during the day. She stroked his hair lovingly.
"That's fine Inspector, I'll let the Estate know that I will be in another location momentarily and we will plan accordingly. Would I need any assistance because I can acquire help if necessary?" Her hand that was in Souji's hair stroked his cheek instead.
"That will not be necessary Shirogane-san, we will have people there to make sure things go smoothly, and we wouldn't hear the end of it if anything happened to you."
"Yeah" Souji interjected tiredly which finally brought out a giggle that she was trying to bite back.
"Is something wrong Shirogane-san?" She suddenly remembered she was on the phone.
"No no, is there anything else?" The person on the other side of the phone call seemed to hesitate for a second.
"Is there somebody with you?" She pondered answering that honestly for a minute. Looking down on her soul mate for the moment, she caught the glimmer of his silver engagement band on his finger. Suddenly a rush of pride influence her next decision.
"Yes, I'm just with my fiancée at the moment. I think it woke him up." She heard a small gasp down the phone.
"Damn right..." She admonished Souji with a light pinch to the cheek.
"Fiancée? I'm sorry Shirogane-san; I didn't know you were dating let alone engaged." Souji let out a noise that was half way between a groan and a sigh. Her hand tracing his face returned to his hair.
"Think nothing of it. I will be going to the airport in the morning, just send me an e-mail of my flight information then I will take it from there." The Inspector murmured in agreement of their plans. However the news that Naoto Shirogane, one of the most talented detectives in the country and within the top 10 in the world was engaged flustered him. The man that has been able to get the hand of marriage of the heir of the Shirogane family must have been very powerful indeed.
"Ok, I'll let the team know here and tell your Fiancée I'm really sorry for waking him up. I'd rather not anger Shirogane's significant other as well." Naoto chuckled lightly.
"It is fine; I will speak to you when I touch down in Tokyo. Goodbye." Not waiting for the rest of the pleasantries she swiped her phone to end the call. She turned to Souji who still had his face against her side. "I think he's scared of you."
Souji just gave her another squeeze. "Good..." He said drowsily.
Naoto placed her phone back on the bedside table and shuffled back down to be level with the former leader. She gasped as she felt one of his hands snake to along the small of her back, moving some of her long blue locks out of the way and pulling up her blue girl boxers she wore to bed.
"Sorry..." He opened one eye lazily. "I accidently pulled them down a bit earlier." She just pressed herself closer to him. The sleeveless white shirt was thin enough to feel Souji's naked chest against her, a feeling she loved. She blushed heavily as his arms wrapped around her, and nuzzled his chin against her hair.
He breathed deeply, taking in her scent as much as possible. "Love you..." He muttered.
"I love you too Souji-kun." She whispered back as she kissed his chest fondly.
