Conan-kun. After everything had been spilled, that was his nickname. Whenever she used it in public, she got a few weird glances. You could tell what they were thinking. 'Wasn't Conan-kun that kid who used to live with her?' They then would look at him. 'Isn't that Kudo Shinichi?'
They never asked though and so they were left to wonder what he done to get that nickname. He would smirk. Even if he told them, he bet they wouldn't believe him. After all, him being sweet, innocent Conan-kun? Not likely.
He had given her his own nickname. He didn't use it too often but it got far less glances even when he did use it. When he used his nickname for her, the people looking were thinking more along the lines of, 'Isn't young love sweet?'
She had given him parameters for her nickname.
It had to carry a meaning of all they had been through.
It couldn't be common like 'Honey' or 'Dear'. Those showed nothing about how much he cared.
It couldn't be three or more words. She didn't even like two but he had persuaded her.
It couldn't be in a reference to Sherlock Holmes. There had been no debate on that one.
It couldn't use her name.
It definitely couldn't be any type of alcohol. Shinichi had passionately agreed. Even though it was supposed to be a reminder, it didn't have to be that close to it.
Shinichi had thought for a while on it. The parameters weren't the problem. He would've been inside them anyways. He wanted it to really mean something. That was when he had remembered their trip to New York. The trip she had forgotten and had had to relive because she had passed out in a restaurant right after the completion of a case.
He smiled.
He knew neither of them were perfect. Far from it. They had been through too much to come out without bumps and bruises. That was why he had adjusted it a little.
The day he had told her it, she smiled and said she loved it.
From that day on, she was his abstract angel.

I kind of like this one. My favorite so far is R or U though.
This one spawned from my indecisiveness. I couldn't decide whether to use Abstract or Angel so I just used both.
If you don't get what I am doing, I am making a ShinichiXSomeone (Ran or Kaito, Mostly Kaito Probably) story for every letter of the alphabet. I'll label each chapter with the couple that it has inside and the name of the chapter. They are probably all going to be one-shots though I may make other stories to elaborate if I feel like it.
Anyways, I made a list of all of my words and then I just let plot bunnies come from them. It is interesting to see where my stories will lead me…
Ja ne!
