The Bomb That Broke Through a Steel Wall

AN: This fic is an expansion of a Tumblr RP between myself (ponytailedaikidoka) and osakapride. The original RP is between the *s. I added context at the beginning, and continued it the way I would've if the RP had, with what I thought Heiji would do or say. Thank you, Heiji-mun, for letting me turn it into a story.

"Heiji?"

Heiji looked up from the book he was reading to see Kazuha standing in front of him.

"What?"

"I have somethin' t' tell y'…" she responded nervously. Her next words were so soft, Heiji just barely heard them. *"I'm pregnant."

Heiji's jaw dropped and his eyes widened. Kazuha waved a hand in front of his face. "Heiji? Heiji? Y' in there?"*

The Osakan detective snapped back to reality with his usual, hot-blooded fervor. "What? Who's th' father?" He started muttering threats to this unknown male.

"Heiji!" Kazuha placed a hand on his shoulder. "Yer not gonna crack his skull, or break his nose, or pulverize his balls."

"Whaddya mean I'm not, aho! This guy got y' pregnant, which means that he was touchin' y', an'…" He gestured what else Kazuha and the guy had been doing. "An' that's just not right. So, yes, I am gonna beat him up."

"Aho! Why d' y' care so much about this anyway?"

"Be-because…" Heiji stuttered. "Because yer like my sister!"

"My father didn't threaten anybody when I told him, an' he's related t' me," Kazuha pointed out.

"Now, listen," she said. "Remember that party we were invited to four months ago? Th' one y' missed 'cause y' had a case? That's where I met him- Keisuke Ogata." She sighed. "I think it was love at first sight. We've been… Heiji, are y' listenin'? Don't tell me yer thinkin' o' how yer gonna injure Keisuke."

The detective was staring at a point over his friend's shoulder, with a look on his face that she knew well. It was the face he had while investigating, just before he would find the clue that cinched the noose around the culprit.

Then, his eyes glittered with realization. Heiji stepped forward and pulled Kazuha into a tight hug. He put his lips near her ear and whispered three words she never thought she'd hear him speak.

"I love y'."

She smiled. "I love y', too," she said, turning her head and pressing her lips to his cheek.

Heiji stepped back. "But y' just said… Ogata-kun…"

She looked surprised. "Y' really fell for it?"

"Fell for it… wait, this was a joke?" Heiji yelled. "Yer not in love with a Keisuke Ogata?"

She nodded.

"An' yer not pregnant?"

She nodded again.

"Aho, that's not funny!"

Kazuha looked guiltily at the floor. "I thought you'd figure it out, bein' a detective. I'm sorry… I had t' find out how y' felt about me, an' I thought this'd be a good way to get y' t' say." She looked up at him. "Forgive me?"

Heiji hugged her again. "O' course, aho."

THE END

AN: I apologize for any awkward dialogue and OOC-ness.
