The Whole World in His Arms

Disclaimer: I do not own Detective Conan or any of the characters, sadly.


Heiji kisses Kazuha while she sleeps in the hospital. Out of nowhere. He doesn't know what drove him to do it, but it felt nice. And this left him somewhat unsatisfied so he kissed her again. And again. Then he leaned back and smiled at her sleeping figure.

"What's with the weird smile?" Conan asks.

Heiji almost breaks his neck as he spins around to face the small detective. "How long have ya been there?" he demands, but Conan just walks to him and kicks his shin.

"Oi!"

"Hentai."

ooo

Since the incident in the hospital, Heiji can't control the urge that comes when he's face to face with Kazuha. It's like some invisible force is drawing him to her lips. So when Kazuha asks if she can study at his place, he instantly agrees.

"Ya, whatever. Ya probably need it."

"Ahou!"

ooo

When Kazuha yawns for the umpteenth time that afternoon, Heiji was already near his tipping point.

"Quit it. It's getting annoying."

"But today was exhausting! Don't tell me ya aren't tired at all."

"Yer probably getting unfit. Or fat."

"AHOU!"

Kazuha stopped yawning after that. And at the end of the day, she didn't fall asleep. Heiji still can't decide whether he was relieved or disappointed.

ooo

But during their monthly movie night, Heiji finds a sleeping Kazuha on his shoulder. He didn't even notice the weight of her head til after the movie ended. So he stares at her for a while, in the dark of the living room. Kazuha's face limned by the television's glare. He decides to get the DVD out later. Kazuha's lips are far more interesting, far more mesmerizing. Heiji lifts a hand towards her face.

The sudden light from his father flipping on the switch sends him rocketing off the sofa before either of his parents (or the now disgruntled and awake Kazuha) could catch what went on.

ooo

And at the end of a case when Kazuha rescues him (alright, don't rub it in) from an escaped serial killer, he can't help but sulk while she fusses over him as if he were a child. At one point, it gets infuriating enough that he actually meets her eyes (for the first time since he was rescued) and Heiji realizes that tears had been streaming down her face long before he was found.

So he grabs her. And kisses her.

He presses his lips upon hers and holds her body close to him. He does not let go even after she's responded to the kiss.

He holds her still as they break apart, arms lightly wrapped around her waist, as if he had the whole world in his arms.

ooo

End
