Kiss It Better – Shinichi and Yoshie

"Where was that blasted file?" Shinichi Kudo was on his hands and knees searching for a case file under his desk. It wouldn't have normally been under his desk, but his four year old son, Conan, had decided to play detective yesterday while he was out, and as a result, he desk was now in a state of extreme disorder.

"There it is!" Grabbing the file, Shinichi sat up abruptly, hitting his head on the desk.

"Damn it!"

"Daddy?" Yoshie, his five year old daughter, peered round the desk. "Mommy will get mad if she hears you."

He smiled. "Let's just not tell her then."

She considered him with serious eyes. "Would you like me to kiss it better?"

He couldn't help remembering that over twenty years earlier, Yoshie's mother had asked him the same thing when he'd fallen off a stepstool.

"Yes please."
