Kaito stared.
Hakuba did his best to ignore the violet gaze on him as he focused his attention on the book in front of him.
Aoko rolled her eyes, shook her head and wondered what insanity was going to come out of it -this- time. If the 2 boys weren't having a clash of will over the Kaitou Kid, it was over something else. Kaito usually won, but she had to admire Hakuba for his sheer tenacity . He'd yet to give up, even when the odds were against him.
Kaito continued staring, leaning forward slightly, his eyes never leaving the blonde detective.
Hakuba turned a page.
It was spring time, Aoko realised, doing a quick mental calculation. Kaito usually did a themed prank about this time of year.
Kaito's eyes narrowed.
A small bead of sweat began to trickle down the back of Hakuba's neck.
Last year he had somehow managed to convince everyone in the class to have a mini-race, rolling dyed eggs down a hill in the park. It had been a lot of fun, and several elementary school kids hand joined in, adding to the fun.
Kaito made a thoughtful sound.
Hakuba shifted slightly in his seat.
The year before that had been the colourful egg hunt in the classroom, plastic eggs filled with small candies. Of course, the trick had been finding the egg with your name on it before it exploded in a cloud of confetti and sparkles.
Kaito scrunched up his face, looking like he was trying to pull something from the detective's brain through telepathy.
Hakuba shut his book. "Can I help you?" He asked in brisk tones.
Her best friend straightened, his face relaxing into a not-quite smile. "You're from Britain, right?"
"Yes." The blond managed to make the simple answer sound like he was having teeth pulled.
Kaito grinned. "You celebrate Easter then, right?"
A suspicious look flitted over Hakuba's face and Aoko -knew- that something was about to happen. "Yes..."
"Great!" With that, Kaito -bounced- out of his seat, towards Hakuba. Hakuba had just enough time to flinch backwards before he was engulfed in a cloud of pink smoke.
The cloud dissipated within seconds, leaving Aoko with her jaw dropping.
Pink bows.
Pastel coloured basket.
Bunny Ears.
"Who wants their picture taken with the Easter Bunny?!" Kaito crowed.
Hakuba, white rabbit ears crowning his blond hair, a pink bow around his neck and holding a basket of colourful eggs in his lap, twitched.
Immediately, the majority of the girls in the class swarmed around him, cooing over how cute he was while Kaito grinned and snapped pictures.
Aoko wasn't sure if she should laugh, feel sorry for Hakuba who was completely out of his league, or try to get one of the candy eggs for herself.
Meanwhile, in the background Akako pouted. "That's not how you make a bunny."
-fin-
Happy Easter everyone!
The Akako/Bunny joke shows up prominently in the third part of 'Night Dreams' (it got so big we had to split it into 3 parts instead of 2).
The second part was just finished last night (early this morning?) and will be out in a day or two, as soon as it gets double-checked. ^_^
