[Halfway between Red and White]

[moptothehead]

[Hey there, mansion residents! Today there are some... rather curious noises coming from the kitchen, for those inclined to investigate such things (or get themselves some dinner). Low voices, heated arguing, sudden silences -- followed by longer silences, and then more of the arguing. Then a gasp, and a grunt -- it almost, almost sounds like an escalating fight.


Except if you open the door, what you will find is one Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori -- and while they're probably the most likely ones in the dressing room to be having an escalating fight, that isn't quite what's going on.

On the contrary, Aoko has her back against the counter, Kaito's hand up her shirt, and her hands down the back of his jeans. No clothes are missing, so nothing important is really visible, but it's pretty obvious what's going on, especially given the heated kissing, wandering hands, and not-particularly-subtle groping. There's the beginnings of a lasagna dinner on the counter, but the ingredients have long since been abandoned in favour of the more immediate activities.

Um.


Oops?]

[His daughter is innocent and damn it, that's not gonna change in his mind.]

That's because you weren't home at the time!

[sheepishly; though he is wary to challenge the inspector's word]

T-to be fair, sir, I don't remember getting a warning!

[moptothehead]

We're sorry, okay?

[silvercatchkid.livejournal.com]

What do you MEAN you don't remember?1 I made myself very clear to you Kaito! And it SHOULD have been mortifying enough for you to remember!

[No, it doesn't seem sorry is enough.]

[pandorabox]

I think I'd remember something like that! [if it was as mortifying as the good inspector was hinting at, of course]

[moptothehead]

[just kind of... cringing at all the yelling. She's going to be hearing about this for a while, she just knows it]

[silvercatchkid.livejournal.com]

Don't try that poker face trick with me! I know you remember!

[Yes. Yes you will Aoko.]

[pandorabox]

B-but I don't--!

[r-really, he's not lying]

[moptothehead]

[still not moving, in any case, though she does glance over her shoulder to give Kaito a penetrating look. Apparently she believes him, since she turns back around and retorts]

Dad, he isn't lying!

[silvercatchkid.livejournal.com]

You and I both know how good of a liar he is!

[pandorabox]

[w-wait what makes him say that] H-hey!

[moptothehead]

[what huh?]

What are you talking about?

[silvercatchkid.livejournal.com]

You know what I'm talking about! I made sure he had told you after I found out! There was no way I'd let him date you and not tell you about it! He said you knew for months beforehand!

[pandorabox]

Found ou-- [ohcrap he knew?!] W-when did you-- [Kaito was dead. So very dead] How did you-- [no one would be able to identify the remains]

... when did this happen?!

[moptothehead]

[Unfortunately for him Aoko is a bit slow on the uptake -- namely because she can't at all imagine her father knowing about Kid without managing to be apoplectic 24/7]

Knew for months beforehand about what?
