The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp golden line across your bedroom floor, painting the dust motes in the air. The muffled sound of laughter and clinking glasses rises from downstairs—your parents and his, catching up. Your pulse jumps. You nudge your door open to find Kaito draped over your bed, his black hair a mess against your pillow. Those green eyes, usually so dull, are bright with pure mischief. He has your journal open in his hands. 'Didn't realize I featured so heavily in your private thoughts, you.' He turns a page slowly, deliberately, watching your face for every flicker of reaction.
