Hello everybody! After 4 years of not being online over here, I'm finally back. YAY! So this is my first Takagi x Sato fanfic (or Detective Conan in general). I hope I didn't went OOC... To explain where I want to go with this story: It's supposed to be like a little Advent calendar, so I'll be updating this story until Christmas, however, I can't make sure that you'll get a chapter every day since there are day I have to stay at university until late evening and there's also my birthday on December 20. But you'll get all 24 chapters by Christmas. Enough talk! I hope you like the story. Leave me a comment if you like it or if you want to criticize me.

Countdown to Christmas – Day 1

It was December 1, Wataru Takagi sat at his desk, working on the reports of his last cases. He looked at his watch. It was already 5:37 pm, meaning he would still have 30 minutes until his shift will finally end.

He sighed as he turned around in his chair, looked out of the window and realized that it was already dark outside.

"It's nerve-racking to start your shift when it's still dark in the morning and to end it, only to realize that it's already dark again, isn't it?" Takagi turned around and looked into the face of his girlfriend.

"It feels like I've been working the whole day." he answered.

"Well, basically you have." Sato said.

"I can't believe it's Christmas in a bit more than three weeks. I feel like I'm working so much, I'm not even getting into the mood." Takagi said, leaning back into his chair. "I didn't even buy a single present until now."

"Well, most of the men are getting their presents around December 23, so I would have been surprised, if you had your presents this early." she teased him.

"Hey, you were the one who wasn't prepared for the headquarters' Christmas party last year." he answered, smirking at her.

Sato rolled her eyes. "Please don't mention this one again. It was so embarrassing. By the way, I'll meet you in the underground parking lot by the end of your shift."

Takagi nodded in surprise. "Sure, but why?"

"I need to discuss something important with you." she said before going back to her desk, focusing on her work.

Did I do something wrong? Have I forgotten something? Wataru asked himself until he finally finished all the work he had to do this day.

At 6 pm, Takagi walked into the underground parking lot and saw that Sato was already waiting for him to arrive. He walked towards her.

"Hey Sato, so what do you want to discuss with me?" he asked in a nervous tone.

"I hope you have nothing planned for this evening." Miwako answered.

"Eh, why? I don't understand... I thought you had something to discuss with me." Takagi, who was completely confused by now, asked.

"Well, I do, but I don't think we should talk about this in public, especially when these freaks are around." Sato said, looking at the three police men who followed Takagi and were now hiding behind a corner.

Wataru looked at the corner in shock. I didn't even realize that these guys were following me, he thought.

"So, I'll come to your place tonight. Is 8 pm okay for you?" Sato asked as she was getting into her car.

"Sure, umm..., but why is it so important?" Takagi asked, standing at her car door.

"I told you, I can't talk about it now. Don't worry, it's nothing bad." She started the engine. "See you later."

Takagi closed the door and Sato drove home. He walked over to his car and drove home as well, being really confused.

To be continued...
