"Sae-san I have a question."
"Sigh, What is it Akechi this is the fifth time you've said that."
"Are you free tonight?" Sae turned around in her chair to stare at Akechi with a confused look.
"Why do you want to know?" Sae asked.
"Well this case is pretty hard and I'd like to discuss it at a time where I'm not disturbing your work."
"Why can't you just text me?"
"Well I thought that it would be more plesent if we dicussed it in person, I'll pay for the food."
"No I'm not free today." -Damn- Akechi had to build up all of his courage to do this and it was just rejected.
"Maybe on Friday night? I'm free then." This made Akechi feel as though his courage hadn't gone to waste. His face lit up.
"Ok! That's completely fine with me. Any recommendations on where to go?"
"Why're you so keen to invite me to dinner to discuss a case?" Akechi didn't want to say that it was because he wanted to know more about her or he wanted to spend more time with her, he had to choose wisely. She is a detective after all.
"Well, I feel a lot more comfortable when discussing something in person rather then over text or a phone call, and it'll be fun so what do you say, you wanna go on Friday?"
"Yeah sure, so where are we going to go?"
"Where ever you want."
"Ok then, how about sushi." Akechi gave a little smirk and Sae had just realise what she had just said.
"Oh no, Akechi-" but she was cut off by a very amused Akechi.
"Convayer belt only." he said with a mocking tone, and he burst out laughing while Sae was struggling to hold back her own, so she decided to play along.
"Aw..." She said in a mocking of her own.
"My pancake dreams were ruined that day you know!" That was enough to make Sae start laughing until tears fell out of their eyes.
"See what I mean about the fun part of talking face to face."
"Yeah I see where your coming from. Crap it's lunch all ready."
"Want to get some coffee from lablanc, or do you want to get convayer belt sushi."
"Akechi don't start, I was struggling to stop laughing."
"Ok, Ok lets go lablanc then."
At Lablanc
The bell rang as Sae and Akechi entered Lablanc.
"Afternoon, Akechi, Sae."
"Good afternoon to you to Akira. I'll be having one coffee please and what about you Sae."
"I'll have the same." Akira turned to look at the two to see signs that they had been crying.
"Um, are you two alright." Akira asked concerned "You seem to have been, crying?" Thats when the two had started sniggering until Sae finnaly answered with a 'yeah were fine'. Akira put the sniggering aside and asumed that it was just and inside joke that they shared.
AFTER LUNCH
"Good thing we didn't get any convayer belt sushi." Akechi remarked.
"At least you got to live your pancake dreams there." Sae tagged along and they started sniggering again until there was a knock at the door making them stop their laughter and in stead trying to stop it from coming out.
"Come in!" Sae shouted while Akechi pretended to be interested in his work.
"Ah, Sae-san , we have found a case you may be particularly interested in."
"What is it?" Sae asked as Akechi perked his head up in interest.
"A polotic, using tax money to go on a holiday with his wife, here is the report." as the officer gave the report to Sae he swiftly left and Akechi walked over to Sae wanting to read the report with her.
"A polotic and his wife were being caught using tax money to not just go on holidays but for jewllary as well and were arrested in a ...sushi resturant." Sae and Akechi slowly went to look at eachother before bursting into laughter at their inside joke and Sae put the report a side to read later as there shift was over.
OUTSIDE
"Hey Akechi." Akechi turned his head around to see Sae.
"What is it Sae-san, be quick cause I have to take the train soon."
"Would you like a lift?" Sae asked.
"Y-yes if you don't mind." Akechi managed to get out, Sae nodded her head towards the car indicateing for him to get in the car. Their stomachs started rumbeling and they had rememered that they only managed to have coffee before their break was over.
"Do you want me to drop you off home or do you want to go somewhere quickly I haven't got much time so it has to be somewhere quick." Sae said
"How about convayer belt sushi." Sae gave him a look. "Really Sae-san I'm being serious, It's not that far away and you can get it quickly to."
"Ok then let's go." Sae put the key in the ignition and they were off.
AT AKECHI'S HOUSE
for some reson he was looking forward to Friday, they had also agreed to do this next Friday if they had the time that is. He decided to text Sae to see what was going on, and maybe get to know her a bit more so that when they went to get sushi it wouldn't be as awkward.
SAE'S POV
Buzz Buzz
Sae was starteled by the sudden movement emited by her phone. At the moment she wasn't in the mood hence the amount of work she had. So she turned on the phone to see the following nonification.
One Message Recived: Goro Akechi
She tapped on the nonification.
Goro Akechi:
'Hey Sae.'
AKECHI'S POV
Akechi had his eye's glued on the screen waiting for a reply and he felt relived when he saw 'Sae Nijima Is Typing' Icon pop up.
Sae Nijima:
'Hi Akechi is everything ok?'
You:
'Yes and you?'
Sae Nijima:
'Im fine so why'd you text me?'
He took time with his reasponse
You:
'I want to know more about you, so our convosation won't be awkward when it comes to friday'
Sae Nijima:
'Ok what do you want to know?'
You:
'whats your favorite colour?'
Sae Nijima:
'Purple whats yours?'
You:
'Red ok so what is your fav food?'
Sae Nijima:
'Udon'
You:
'Im suprised i thought you had more of a sweet tooth'
Sae Niijima:
'Really. What makes you think that?'
You:
'Well you do put quite a lot of sugar in your coffee'
Sae Niijima:
'Wait how do you know that?'
Akechi has let it slip. How could he let his gaurd down so easily around Sae. But luckily he had a good exuse up his sleeve.
SAE'S POV
Sae was at the moment confused by Akechi's remark about how she had liked to have sweet things and how he had said that she had put a lot of sugar in her coffee. After all the thinking she had done she saw that Akechi had texted back to her.
Goro Akechi:
'I saw how much sugar you put in your coffee at lablanc'
You:
'Really now'
Goro Akechi:
'So what about Friday'
You:
'Didn't we agree on sushi?'
Goro Akechi:
'Yeah but what place there's nowhere called sushi'
This had made Sae laugh slightly. She had to admit that Akechi had some sense of humor for a detective.
Knock Knock
Sae immediately turned off the phone and buried it in her pocket
and pretended to be doing her paper work.
''Come in!'' She shouted. Makoto sheepishly poked her head around the door.
''Sorry if I'm disturbing you sis, but dinner's made so if you want you could-''
''Sure I'll be right over.'' Sae said as Makoto nodded and closed the door.
Sae signed the few remaining papers and went to the dinner table where Makoto was setting the table.
To Sae this had felt weird as she had not had food in this kitchen for a while now and she could for some reason she felt as though Makoto was enjoying having this moment with her elder sister instead of by herself.
So that night Sae and Makoto had spent dinner together with a comfortable aura sitting around them.
A/N:
Sorry for not uploading for a long time guys but as a comment said this fanfic was a little rushed so I tried to make it more interesting for you guys and tried to make it make more sense. Speaking of rushing I'm thinking of redoing my latest chapter and make it less rushed.
Thank you to the person who had given me feedback in the comments it was very helpful.
