Kyle arrived

"Hi, I came as you asked" - Kyle smiled embarrassedly.

"Thanks, please come in" - you smiled back and invited him inside.

Kyle entered, and you closed the door behind him. Undressing, he entered the living room and began to look around.

"You're the same, and I don't even remember the last time I was at your place."

"Maybe when we were still at the academy?" - you asked with a chuckle.

Kyle wondered.

"Really, it's been a long time."

He kept looking around and you noticed that he often tried to take an extra look at you. Perhaps putting on tights and a light tank top wasn't the best way to have a serious conversation with a man. To break the awkward pause you invited him for tea. You didn't immediately show him what was on your bed.

You could see that Kyle was a little nervous, and you couldn't believe you were the cause. As you sat him down at the table you poured the tea into mugs that hadn't changed since you were at the academy. Kyle put his palms around the mug and brought it to his mouth.

"Brings back memories... when we were kids" - Kyle dreamily stretched out and tried to take a sip.

"Pfft, you're still a kid yet" - you chuckled.

Kyle choked a little, but held the mug in his hand.

"And you! It's been years and you haven't grown an inch."

Now you gasped at this insolence and kicked him under the table with your foot. You both rolled with laughter, and it was as if you had returned briefly to the carefree past you had spent together. You had been good friends, and even after your studies, fate had brought you together in the same precinct.

After a warm discussion about stuff, and reminiscing about the past, you still had to come down from heaven to earth when Kyle asked.

"So, what did you call me over for? Not to have tea and cookies?" - Kyle purposely finished the rest of his tea loudly and tapped his cup on the table.

You exhaled languidly.

"It has to do with the maniac case I'm on. And I have a clue, and I have a plan... and I need your help. But I thought maybe you dont want to..."

Suddenly Kyle put his hand on yours.

"It's okay! I'll help you in any case!"

Whereupon you both blushed and simultaneously pulled your hands away.

"Sorry, I don't know what came over me..."

"Hahaha it's okay... We used to hold hands a lot when we were kids too."

But your heart began to beat too hard, some warm feeling began to rise from around your stomach reaching your brain.

"Maybe it's after recent events... I'm sure I've never felt anything like this about him before... We were just friends, but why do I feel so... happy? Maybe the bodysuit has that effect on me? Why do I want to wear this more every second..."

"May? Are you okay" - Kyle's voice brought you out of your trance.

"Ah! Ah... AH! Sorry just remembered something... Let's go to my bedroom, there's a clue in there, I'll tell you the plan later."

You got up and slowly walked to your room leading him. As you approached the door you grabbed the handle and stopped.

"Just don't be too surprised, okay? I think you'll understand."

"What are you hiding in there? A dead body?" - Kyle asked with a sneer.

"You'll see" - you hummed and opened the door.
