"This meeting is now adjourned. You are dismissed." Matsuri spoke, and (First Name) watched their subordinates pack up their things to leave for the evening.
From the corner of their eye, they spotted their friend (and crush) Juuzou Suzuya by the door, resting a pale hand on his forehead.
"Suzuya?" (First Name) inquired, shyly nudging the raven-haired boy's hand.
"What's up?" He turned to face them and grinned, white teeth flashing.
"Could you.. Could you teach me to use throwing knives?" The soft-spoken investigator blushed, and Suzuya clasped their shoulders excitedly.
"Of course, (First Name)!" He grabbed the other's hand and guided them up the steps, out into the rooftop.

"Okay, so first you have to flip one like this," Suzuya expertly tossed a knife into the air, and (First Name) watched as it spiralled, sharp blade glinting in the light.
"Second, make sure you're always armed." He twirled another one around his slender fingers.
"Like this?" (First Name) grasped one of the knives' clumsily, and flung it towards the target Suzuya had set up. They winced as it clattered to the floor, missing the target completely.
"Yep!" He nodded, and grinned, red eyes glittering.
"I missed, though," (First Name) frowned, picking the knife up once again. They attempted to toss it into the air, but let out a small yelp as the blade sliced across their palm.
A few droplets of crimson bloomed from the wound, splattering against the ground as they fell, drop by drop.
Suzuya slowly looked over at the (Hair Colour)-haired investigator.
"Um.. Red means pain, right?" He asked, and pulled a white handkerchief from his pocket. Taking the (Hair Colour)-haired human's hand in his, Suzuya wrapped the cloth around their palm, double-knotting it.
(First Name) felt their face heat up at the close proximity of their faces, and turned to face the side.
"T-thank you, Suzuya.."
Their (Eye Colour) eyes widened when the black-haired boy suddenly dipped his head to press a kiss onto their upturned palm. "W-wha-?"
He hopped back and grinned, red eyes full of mischief.
"Let's go get ice cream!" He bounded towards the door without waiting for (First Name). Smiling lightly, the (Hair Colour)-haired human followed him off the rooftop.

(First Name) shyly glanced over at the black-haired investigator reclining back in the wicker chair, casually picking the nuts off his sundae.
They looked down at their own (Favourite Flavour) ice cream. "Thank you so much," They spoke up, nodding their head.
Suzuya looked over at them. "You're welcome, (First Name)! It's no problem at all!"
Later as they left the ice cream parlour, (First Name) gathered up the courage to lean over to kiss the black-haired boy on the cheek gently before dashing away.
"Goodnight, Suzuya!" They called back shyly as they turned the corner, leaving him standing alone at the door to the shop.
