She didn't want to bother him so late at night, especially since Niwa-kun had school in the morning, but deep in the cover of night was the only time to successfully pull this off! She also feels a little bad because all she'd said before dragging her boyfriend off was 'I need your help with something.'
But it's fine, she'll make it up to him later. "I know it's like your thing and all, but I just wanted to make sure..." Neya had lead them to an abandoned house in a secluded area with a high wall that was eight-bricks tall, the main entrance had been sealed up, most likely to deter intruders like herself but Neya was a woman on a mission.
"You're ok with breaking and entering for personal reasons, right?" Neya had asked, sparing only the slightest thoughtful glance his way before she scaled the privacy wall covering the house she'd been scoping out for the past couple of months. Carefully clinging to the wall from the other side, she offers her hand for him to take so she could pull the boy up. "Cause I've finally found a house...surprise?"
' please don't call it that ... ! ' he can hardly tell whether he sounds more frustrated or embarrassed over the sound of dark's boisterous laughter roaring in his head --- the ever-present flush of his cheeks burns into an even deeper red regardless .
( how's that , daisuke ? it's great that you're getting relied on ! )
' i mean , even if it is my thing , it's more like --- d-dark's thing , my family's thing , ' it was --- ooh , what in the world was neya going to make him do aside from embarrass himself over and over again ?
for all his frantic stammering his steps are still steady , the kick of his legs trailing behind neya's as his eyes wander and crawl up towards the full moon . rabbits supposedly on it , rabbits certainly down below it ; burrowing with no shame to the crimes they were about to commit . he hasn't even given neya a proper answer when wiz starts kyuu-kyuu-kyuu'ing his way , one spirited fling of dirt after the other , beneath the brick wall with no less vigor than a fugitive trying to dig their way out of prison with nothing more than tiny teaspoons for hands .
the truth was : being so suddenly woken up then serendipitously brought outside to be asked for a favor by neya couldn't have made him happier . wiz had been the one to shake off sleep first and to tug and stomp on just about every inch of him to drag him out of any dream , and now here they were , breaking and entering for the sake of ... err , reclaiming some abandoned real estate ?
' oh , i remember this place ... ' staring through the enormous rusted gates before catching sight of her slender fingers , daisuke's expression briefly flashes through palettes of surprise to an apologetic decline . at first he thinks to say that it was fine , even a wall like this was pretty much nothing , but then he hears it sharp and dissatisfied interrupting of his thoughts : ( what the heck are you doing ? hurry up and grab her hand ! she is your girlfriend , right ? )
when he wants to cover his face , dark fast takes hold of neya's grasp instead . ever the opportunist he walks without the first sign of any sweat up the wall before shifting neya's weight into his arms . when she falls into them he bares his teeth in his usual bold grin , glancing the needle - pricks of his eyes from her face to her supposed newfound abode . a nod seemingly affirms her decision , and it isn't long before wiz too , giving up on any stubborn dig , manages to squeeze himself through the unfriendly bars to meet master on the other side . ' great honeymoon spot . i can finally tell emiko i'm moving out to be with the one i'm going to someday make my beautiful bride . '
the great phantom thief's laughter echoes above the faint rustle of the trees around them . a princess and a castle and here he was , azumano's wretched beast breaking open the door so they could settle inside , comfortable and away from the elements and so many people sticking their noses into their business . ' once upon a time , this place used to be owned by an old guy with tons of money . though , he just so happened to be deaf , too . daisuke could probably tell you all about it . ' ( h-hey , i don't really know all that much either ! ) only that a long , long time ago , he had helped fetch something important to the harada twins from the interior until years passed , the old man vanished , and the house subtly hunched and aged into its own quiet neglect .
now , there was the occasional rumor that it was haunted ...
( we're absolutely not telling her that --- !! )
' you could have always come inside to stay with daisuke and i at the mansion . ' he speaks the offer warmly , though maybe this was about neya proving both her capability and independence to herself , as if it hadn't been proved already after weeks and months of her being practically fugitive . ' ... well , either way , getting into a place like this is practically a walk in the park for me . ignore the front entrance --- it'd be a shame to break the door down . around the back there should be a cellar , and i bet they've only thought to lock it up instead of board it . even if it's not , it won't be letting any wind or poor weather into the main hall if the wood gets broken . '
... more than " okay " with breaking and entering , he'd readily remind her that azumano's one and only was nothing short of a master .
