L: Hakuba and Kuroba

Saguru frowned glumly as he sat in his desk at police headquarters. He had specifically taken vacation to attend the Sherlock Holmes convention with the intention of not being in the office. Though he still looked forward to having the rest of the week off, it was not a promising start to his vacation.

"I thought you were supposed to be gone?"

The blond swiveled to find Kaito staring down at him in curiosity. "I was, but there was a murder and Kudou-kun and I were brought in to give our statements." He ran a hand through his hair, the uncombed mess left behind testament to his rather tired and soured temperament.

Kaito winced. "Man, that sucks. Sorry, Hakuba," he murmured, commiserating. "That's not how anyone would want to start their vacation."

Saguru sighed. "Well, what's done is done," the Division Two detective murmured as he leaned back in his chair. "I was looking forward to attending some of today's scheduled talks, too."

The Division Three officer gazed at his coworker contemplatively for several moments before coming to a decision. "Come on, Hakuba," Kaito said, heaving him out of his chair, slinging an arm around the blond's shoulders, and hauling him towards the front of the building. "It's time to go home anyway, so we're going to go to a bar, get you drunk off your ass, and find you a gorgeous but scarily intelligent lady to talk to."

"Wait, what? Kuroba-kun—"

"And, I'll even vet them to find someone who is just as obsessed with Holmes as you are so you two can chat to your hearts' content, you nerd."

"—has bad idea written all over it and I really don't think—"

Saguru's protests went unheeded as he was manhandled out of the door, Kaito's ebullient laughter and enthusiastic chatter echoing into the evening air.

Author's Note: And so we come full circle, bringing this drabble series to an end. I had so much fun writing this, and I hope you had just as much entertainment with me. It was a great way to learn how each of the boys thought, acted, and reacted, and how they learned how to interact with each other. I am somewhat sad that it has come to an end, but at the same time I'm so pleased. So pleased. I might be persuaded to continue this, though really it depends on how badly you all want another chapter… or fifty. I hope you enjoyed it.
