Title: A Different Kind of Closet Case
Fandom: Rain Code
Character: Vivia
Rating: G (nothing objectionable)
Summary: Vivia hides in a nice comfortable closet for his current investigation, but his peace and quiet doesn't last.

Vivia always liked to spend his time in enclosed or out-of-the-way spaces, be they the fireplace in the Nocturnal Detective Agency or under the piano in the hotel, so it stood to reason that the closet he was hiding in while carrying out his current investigation was also a very comfortable place for him; it was somewhere safe for his body to be while he used his Forte, too.

It was too bad, then, that some very rude intruder -- because clearly the other person was the intruder, not Vivia for "borrowing" someone else’s closet in the first place -- opened the closet while Vivia happened to be leaning against the door of it, sending him tumbling out of it in a heap while the other person stood and stared at him in wordless bemusement.

He didn't much appreciate the interruption to him actually doing his job as a detective for a change, but more to the point, he wished he didn't have to have his beloved peace and quiet disrupted like this.
