“Leave me alone,” he growled.

“No,” she growled right back.

Now, that was not a particularly unusual scene for Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha. After all, with them being.. well, them, they were constantly screaming at each other for the pettiest things, hurling insults towards each other so easily that it was like throwing chalk.

Which had happened, once, but had ended unhappily for both of them because they had been forced to stay after school to clean up the large chalk spill that had littered the classroom floor. But anyhow.

“For crying out loud, ‘zuha,” he said, teeth gritted in that way that revealed that he was trying, trying, trying, to convince her to go away and stay home and be a good girl. “It’s really none of your business, okay? Guy stuff.”

Kazuha frowned. “Guy stuff?” she echoed.

“Yes. Guy stuff.”

“With whom?” Kazuha crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him, silently demanding an answer.

“With Kudo.”

Kazuha stared at him. Why on earth was he spending so much time with Kudo, anyway? And why on earth hadn’t she seen Kudo face to face yet? She decided to ask him.

“Well, then, why can’t I come along? I want to meet him for myself. See what all the hype’s about.”

“NO!” Heiji practically screeched, and Kazuha blinked back in amazement. “I mean –“ He calmed down, forcibly, “there’s not much to see. He’s just a regular guy.”

“Why don’t you want me coming with?” She glared. “I’ve been with you on the most gruesome murder cases, but you won’t let me come with you to see a guy?”

“It’s just –“ He was growing frustrated. “Kazuha, just – just stay here!”

“No!” she yelled back. “I’m sick of this! You’re always doing this, always! Constantly going to Tokyo and ditching me to see Kudo-kun! I mean, come on! Kudo, Kudo, Kudo! You know what, Heiji, I’m seriously starting to think that you’re in love with the guy!”

To say that Heiji was stunned would have been the understatement of the entire century.

“I’m not in love with him,” he finally managed. “And the stuff – seriously, it’s just – it’s just detective stuff.”

Kazuha’s glare hadn’t relented.

He sighed and rolled his eyes. Took a couple of steps closer to her.

Kissed her on the forehead.

“Just stay here and be good, okay?” he called, as he effectively escaped the wrath of her temper. Kazuha gaped like a fish. She had a feeling she was supposed to chase after him and curse him to the ends of the earth. But in the end, by the time she’d regained control of her limbs, she was barely able to stumble across the street, onto a bench and collapse on top of it.

“Idiot,” she murmured.
