[Accidental Video Post]

[This video, unlike most of the others, has a timestamp in the lower right corner. Right now, it's 8:35 PM, and Issei is lying on his futon in his sleeping yukata, obviously trying to get to sleep.

He closes his eyes. A few seconds after he does so, he lets out a yelp and jolts awake, breathing heavily.

The video skips to a few more times: 10:17, 11:20, 12:30. Each time, the process is repeated: Issei shuts his eyes, clearly tired, but every time he does some nightmare shocks him awake.

At the last one, he sighs and starts to speak.]

This can't go on. I need to find some way to get to sleep. Something to protect me from... from that. But I'm far too old to sleep in the room of any of the other monks, or even my family. I don't have a dog to curl up with, I won't call Haruto at this hour and for this reason, and I can't think of any other way to make my consciousness relax-

[He lifts his head, and stops. He's staring at his Christmas present from Kaito: a small Kid plushie. Blushing slightly, he continues:]

...at this point, I would try anything. If, if he were here, Kid would protect me, wouldn't he? And he shouldn't be able to take offense at that, so...

[Issei stands up and pulls the plushie off the shelf. No sooner does he lie back down and cuddle with it than he's fast asleep. The video continues for a few minutes to prove this, then dissolves into static.]

((All replies will come after he wakes up for the day. ...Which will be quite a bit later than his day should actually start (in two and a half hours).))

I'm sure that there must be merchandise of him somewhere. If there's some of me... and before you ask, I'm not very cuddly.

[Locked]

Eh? I wasn't aware it was a competition. ...Even if being told that I couldn't have a phantom thief over made me more determined to try.

Or I could always ask Kanji-kun to make one for me! Maybe...

[Locked]

N-No! I wasn't implying a competition! It's just that you appear to possess far more initiative than I do when it comes to matters of the heart. It was only after you confessed your feelings to Kid that I was able to do the same...

Wouldn't that be a tad awkward?

[Locked]

I see... I'm glad that you were able to be honest with him, and that I was able to help somehow.

But truthfully, I don't mean anything romantic in this. He is my friend. I should be able to have a friendly visit with him. Things are much easier when the person you like wouldn't notice anything awkward if you paid him to.

...Kanji could always make a plushie of himself. That way, no one gets left out.

[Locked]

I didn't think so. You're just a big fan of his work. Truth be told, I wouldn't mind introducing him to my family, though I feel that would be entirely too awkward, considering that not only am I the detective chasing after him, but my Grampa was a famous detective as well. I suppose you have an easier time socializing with Kid than I ever will...

I think that's for the best. A Tatsumi plushie could certainly chase away anything that lurks in the dark of night.

[Locked]

My family's socialization with criminals goes back before I was born. It's still a bit of a surprise to have to defend him to people - my family thinks he's a fine man. Though, my brother likes everyone, so his opinion may not count.

He'll renovate those nightmare's asses, won't he?

[Locked]

Heh. Come to think of it, my great-great-grandfather was a bit cozy with certain criminal elements. A certain phantom thief, to be precise. She eventually become my great-great-grandmother, so maybe it's not so odd after all...

Precisely!

[Locked]
There are more things that we inherit than even we are aware of. Call it part of our destiny, or what makes us who we are.

Now my Naoto plushie will have a friend! Maybe I should think about getting the rest of the Investigation Team commissioned.

[Locked]

You're right about that. Promise you'll tell me how your visit with Kid goes, won't you?

I'd love to see that line of products.

[Locked]

I promise. It would be hardly fair of me to keep it a secret from you.

Well, Kanji has a line of knit animals, you could say... Apparently, they're quite popular among the locals, even if the shop isn't officially selling them.

[Locked]

Well, you don't have to tell me everything. There are quite a number of people who stand by the policy of "don't kiss and tell."

It should branch into them, if he makes them so often. Why not profit off his hard work?

[Locked]

I'm not going to kiss him!

I think he just has a strong sense of modesty, that's all. He makes them because he enjoys the work he puts into them, not because he can make money off of them. But he should understand that it makes the person who receives his work feel better if they can repay him in some way.

[Locked]

But... what if he kisses you?

Exactly. The give and take is important to keep the cycle going.

[Locked]
Why would he do that?! He's heterosexual, and I'm a man! And I don't think he pities me that much, to do such a thing...

Maybe Kanji will finally get it...

[Locked]

I don't know? He... kissed me, even though he rejected me. I think he was trying to cheer me up, though...

I can only hope.

[Locked]

Yes, but you're a woman. He is willing to kiss women, and only women. The discussion of whether he would kiss me or not ends there.

Well... there's always the chance that you could be his exception to the rule? There are always exceptions. Nothing is absolute.

...do you really think I could possibly appeal to him?

Well, you're delightfully domestic. I think someone like him can get used to having someone able to cook delicious meals for him. Also, you're very sweet and kind-hearted. You put the needs of others before your own, sometimes more often than you should, but it's a quality which endears you to others rather than alienates you. I think those are qualities which he could appreciate in someone, even if they're male.

I really can only cook breakfasts and desserts, and comfort foods. I leave most of the important meals to the better cooks in the temple. And I'm not much sweeter than most of the people on here...

I'm fairly certain Kaitou Kid possesses a sweet-tooth, given what we know about him.

You're as sweet as apple pie, Issei-kun. I think only Nanako-chan rivals you in that department.

You really, truly flatter me too much. I can be cruel at times, like anyone else.

Generally, you're under the influence of a virus or you're being possessed when that happens.

I didn't mean that. I meant with strangers.

If you're referring to your fans at school... I can understand the sentiment.

At least someone does.
