This is my first Song Fic, as well as my first Case Closed one. I do not own Case Closed or it's characters, nor do I own the song, which might I add is Smile Bomb (first opening of Yu Yu Hakusho) sung by Sara White.
Also... Sorry if my attempt at formatting failed. This is a Conan/Ayumi fluffy fic. I use the English names.
~Running in a crowd, in a faceless town, I need to feel the touch of a friend~
When I look back at all the memories I have with the rest of the Junior Detective League, most of them go back to her. Amy; the girl that was always so bubbly and energetic, always cheering me on, always being the cute and innocent one out of all of us. Whenever I'd get lost in thought, she'd wrap her arms around my neck or give me a peck on the cheek with a gentle affection I couldn't remember from anyone else.
~In the countryside I wander far and wide, the isolation gets me again~
I remember the day I met her. Elementary school was a foreign idea to me at that point- after all, I hadn't been a kid for years! Yet those three all came to me. And Amy didn't hesitate to try to open me up. I was stubborn as a mule, but she always responded with a similar stubborn nature that got to me. It compelled me to join the Junior Detective League, and to at least try to open up while I was stuck in a kid's body.
~I don't know where to go when I feel like crying, oh my!~I suppose you could call her my safety net. Whenever I was unsure about something or I was too nervous to talk to others, especially Rachel, I went to Amy. If she noticed me down, she didn't hesitate to poke at the subject until I came out with the problem. She threw ideas back and forth with me like an endless tennis volley. I don't know when I realized how much I depended on that.
~It's time to open myself, do something new. I want to stop- and grow up a bit~
On her. I depended on her, I had realized. Her smile made me melt sometimes. Just one simple touch made my face turn into a tomato. Her sweet voice was music to my ears, and when it sounded ready to cry, I felt like crying too. Not because crying was contagious, though- because Amy crying was contagious. Because I hated seeing her unhappy. I wanted to see her smile always. I wanted to be able to be with her as much as I could. I needed my safety net. I needed Amy.
~Then suddenly my power and confidence start swelling up, magically erupt~
~And it's all because of kindness that I feel from people I don't even know~
"At the start, we were nothing but strangers. Yet despite it, you had a faith in me that I wouldn't believe you could. The day you came up to me and talked, the day you wanted to be my friend... It changed me forever."
"What are you getting at, Conan?" The same girl I had on my mind constantly was staring at me, her short brown hair moving with her face as it fell slightly on her shoulder.
~Then suddenly my intuition and my wisdom grow, and then I know~
"I get it now." I responded quite simply. I stared at her with intent, pulling her into a tight embrace.
~That most of all I sense compassions wield thanks to strangers wherever I go!~
At the start, Amy was a stranger. She was just some kid. But now... I get it now. She's not some girl that clings onto me anymore. She's not just a stranger that was always by my side.
~Thank you for waking me up!~
"I love you, Amy."
