Klavier frowned and set down his fork, staring across the table. "... Where did you go this morning?" He asked. "You left really early. Usually I have time for a hug before you run out the door, or can offer a ride." He watched as Apollo slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, staring back at Klavier.
"I just had something I needed to do before work." Apollo replied nonchalantly, before taking another bite of his food. But Klavier saw the look in his eyes he was trying to hide.
"I see..." They had gone to a nearby bar and grill to eat, since Klavier didn't have a long time before he'd be headed back. They sat in a small corner two seater, despite Apollo's argument of it being nice outside. Klavier was not going out onto the patio to question him. There were too many people walking by for him to ask what he needed to without having people speak up.
Klavier grabbed the iced tea he'd ordered, the ice clinking around the glass as he took a small sip. Of course, neither had ordered anything from the bar. Apollo didn't like alcohol, and Klavier wouldn't drink on duty, so they'd both gotten iced teas. Klavier watched Apollo from over the rim of his glasses. "It must have been pretty important for you to leave so early." He added.
Apollo simply nodded. "Yeah. But it's dealt with now, so we don't have to worry about it." He said, and frowned as Klavier reached across the table, grabbing some of his fries. "Hey! You had the chance to get your own!" He protested, and Klavier grinned, shrugging as he ate some, taking the last one and smacking Apollo's forehead with it and chuckling as Apollo gave him an 'are you serious' look.
The mood lightened after that, and Klavier found himself enjoying the time they had, even though there was a prickling in the back of his mind.
"I'll see you at home, Klavier." Apollo waved as he walked down the road, and Klavier nodded, watching the brunette until he'd turned the corner, sighing. It was time for him to get back to work, and the bottom of this case. He just hoped that the look he'd seen in Apollo's eyes wasn't what he thought it was, that'd he'd imagined the distant gaze Apollo got when thinking of Kristoph.
He wasn't sure what case he was going to work on when he got back to the office, but he knew he would get to the bottom of one of them. Either way, though, he'd find out what Apollo had been doing that morning.
He wasn't going to back down from this one.
