Uki sipped his tea on the balcony. The cards never lie. He couldn't believe that Shu had formed some sort of relationship with a ghost, but then again, he was in love with a cyborg from the future. Make it make sense.
Speaking of said cyborg, Fulgur appeared with a tray in his hand. "More coffee for my lord?"
Uki stifled a giggle. "What in the world are you doing?"
"Serving coffee, obviously."
"Come here you!" He wrapped his arms around the cyborg's neck, peppering kisses on his cheeks. And how could Fulgur resist?
After a light session of showing their love to each other, Fulgur pulled away. "So, have you figured out what to do with the little phantom thief that keeps taking your jewellery?"
Uki shook his head. "Not yet. Sonny came round last week to look for clues and said he'd look into it, but I think he's hiding something."
"Huh, that's strange. Sonny's usually pretty good at solving cases."
"I know, and that's why he knows something. And I'm not the only victim. Several other people in the neighbourhood are also reporting missing valuable items. With that many victims, Sonny would have found something out by now."
"Well," the cyborg grinned. "You know what to do?"
"Invite him over, drug his tea, hold him captive in the basement until he confesses?"
"No!" He lightly pushed the psychic. "Do a tarot reading! Or look into your crystal ball or something! You are psychic after all."
"Oh yeah, I can do that." He slowly got off the balcony to fetch his tarot cards.
"Wait!" He yelled after Uki. The purple-haired man paused and looked back at his lover. "Uki, were you trying to tell me something? You wanted a little more spice in our lives?"
Uki simply grinned and continued walking to find his apparatus.
"Uki! Wait! At least tell me!"
