Hello out there all you fellow Takagi and Sato fans! 3 This is my first fanfiction so hopefully it doesn't turn out too bad. I'm sure I'm going to make errors so hopefully that won't get in the way of the story. Lol. Anyways, here it is! Enjoy! :D

(Obviously, I do not own Detective Conan and all related characters. I'm just a fan)

It was her first day off in a few weeks so naturally, Miwako Sato decided it was time for some well deserved R&R in front of the TV at her mothers home. It had been a little over a month since the incident where she almost lost the life of her co-worker and secret boyfriend, Wataru Takagi. The two of them were now open about their feelings for each other and no longer had to hide it awkwardly or be shy around one another anymore. The romance between Takagi and Sato was finally beginning to blossom. Sato began to smile as she remembered the day after work where they finally became an official couple.

(Flashback)

"Uhm.. Sato-san? Hold on a moment!" Takagi yelled as he ran to catch up with her.

Sato looked back at him with a look of curiosity. "What is it Takagi-kun?"

He cleared his throat for a moment and looked her in the eyes. "I uhm.. Well.. i have something I've been meaning to talk to you about for a while now.."

Sato blushed a little as she looked him in the eyes. She had a feeling where this was going. "Y-yes?"

Takagi stood in silence for a short moment but finally found the courage to speak. "We.. we've kissed a couple times now.. once back in the hospital, and twice when you saved me from the bomb explosion. Because of our work as police officers, I understand that we have to put our profession before our personal lives but how come we haven't discussed the kisses with each other yet? I don't want to pretend they never happened, Sato-san." Takagi looked at her with a look of despair.

Sato smiled warmly at him. She walked closer to him and put her hand on his cheek. "Takagi-kun, Of course they happened. I would not ever forget the kisses we've shared. I was a little shy to confront you about it because I wasn't sure if it meant our relationship would go to the next level or not."

Takagi placed his hand where hers rested on his cheek. "Sato-san, do you want to take it to the next level?" he asked sincerely.

Sato felt her face grow a very hot shade of pink. She looked up lovingly at him. "Takagi-kun, that would make me very happy." She said with a smile.

Takagi felt his face grow a deep shade of pink as well. He smiled lovingly back at her and placed his hands on her cheeks, kissing her very passionately. After a few moments, Takagi spoke. "I love you so much, Sato-san." he smiled.

Sato looked up at him and smiled back. "I love you so very much too, Takagi-kun."

(End Flashback)

Sato smiled as she reflected on these thoughts. That day was exactly a week ago. The two of them hadn't told anybody about their relationship just yet but they were both pretty sure that Yumi more that likely found out somehow knowing her. However, the fact that nobody around the office was giving Takagi a hard time was a good sign that she didn't spread the news to the fellow police officers yet.

"Miwako!"

The loud call startled Sato from her thoughts as she slowly turned her head to see her mother who was holding the infamous giant stack of papers as usual.

"Miwako, just because it's your day off doesn't mean you should be laying around watching TV all day don't you think?" her mother said with a displeased look on her face.

Sato sighed as she realized what her mother was trying to do yet again. Anytime she carried those papers, it meant she was trying to find her a husband. Just then the thought dawned on her. She hadn't told her mother about her relationship with Takagi.

"Now honey, if you have time to watch TV, you have time to look through all these papers. I found some nice new looking men who-"

"Mom, I really wish you wouldn't try to force me to get married to men I don't even know." Sato cut her off quite bluntly.

Her mother, (lets just call her Mrs. Sato), began to perform the guilt trip act again. "Miwako, that's why you meet them and give them a chance! Then you'll get to know them! For crying out loud, what would I tell your poor deceased father his one and only child has no interest in marriage?"

Sato let out another loud sigh as she realized perhaps now she should tell her mother the truth. She wasn't quite sure how her mother would react to Takagi since he wasn't as rich or elegant as men like Shiratori for example. That didn't matter at all to Sato. Her mother had been persisting her to get married for several years now and never seemed to take her own daughters feelings into account if she was actually happy or not.

Finally, Sato decided now was the time to tell her mother the truth. "Mom, there's something I have to tell-"

In that instance, Sato was interrupted by the sound of her cellphone. She looked down into her pocket and pulled her phone out to answer it.

"Hello? This is Sato speaking."

"Oh, Sato-san! It's me!"
