Mk, so this is kinda sad. I don't think this one was written very well. It seems rushed, a bit too short for my tastes as well. Sorry for such sadness on a new year. But it seems like this could be Ran's resolution for the new year. Anyway hope its not to OC, i also (unfortunately) don't own DC. Have a nice New Year everyone!
-Kaida-chan
Day in and day out. She was alone. Sure she had Sonoko and Conan and Kazuha and her parents. Shinichi… He was nowhere to be found. Only through texts and the sound of his voice did she find the weight in her heart lifted. And every time the call ended. The weight would come back, it was always so painful. It hurt so much, after each call she fought to stop from crying. She would head to her room after she finished her chores and lock the door, although sometimes she would forget. Her knees would fail her and she'd fall to the floor, leaning against her bed or the wall or the door, whichever was closest, to keep from falling any further, a single tear would fall. It'd roll down her cheek. And then… And then the rest would follow. Like falling stars in the night sky, twinkling as they watch from above to fall at a moment's notice. And so the tears would pour out, she would never notice him silently crying inside daily. She would never notice the look of sadness that passed his face when he stood at her door. He fought so hard to stop the tears that prickled in his eyes. One day, when he passed by her room after he called Ran as Shinichi, he heard nothing.
"Oh Conan-kun, are you alright?"
"Ran-nee-chan. I'm fine." He jumped internally; he didn't realize she had opened the door to find him standing there with a pained look.
"Ok. I have to go get some ingredients from the store, tell tou-san I'll be back in a little bit."
"Hai." He said with faux cheer. "She… She looks like she's ready to cry. Is it my fault? Has she finally given up on me?" He thought as he watched her leave.
"Gomen na sai Conan-kun. I don't mean to worry you. I've finally decided... To save my tears for when Shinichi comes home... They'll be happy tears. I can't waste them now. But I'm afraid. So afraid, that I'll cry in my sleep. I worry Conan too much. If I cried anymore, I think it'll pain Conan even more… But more likely, Shinichi… Wherever he is… Please come home soon. My heart can't take it much more…" she thought sadly as she leaned on the door of her father's detective agency.
