"Big sister Asami, I know what I want for my Birthday !" He was in a store, with his sister (a rare event as he was usually with the detective boys on some case or another). He tried not to attract too much attention as he pointed to a black teddy bear shaped like a grizzly bear. "Can you get me that?"

"Aren't you a little too old for that?" She smirked as she looked at him turn red and mumble that he wanted it anyway.

"We'll see, OK. The shopping's over, let's go."

XXXXXXXXXX

Two weeks later it was finally his birthday. He got jumpers, a toy microscope and many other things, but what he really wanted to see was the grizzly bear.

His sister (finally!) came to see him with a present hidden behind her back.

He tore it open as soon as she handed it to him, thanks already halfway out, when he saw the bear. It was a panda in a tutu. He nearly cried.

When he went up to his room, with all his presents, he did not immediately notice that there were a couple more plush toys and things around than he was used to. He spent time on the computer to unwind, before finally going to bed.

He had had enough he thought, as he imagined hugging that bear as he went to sleep.

He pulled up the covers, and went to bed only to find that he was laying on a plush toy. It was the bear! He snuggled up to it, promised himself he would thank his sister again in the morning. He went to sleep saying "Good night, Haibara".

Mitsuhiko slept peacefully that night.
