Hey sweets! Well... I'm a fanfic writer and this is my first DC fanfic! :D Anyways, this a collection of Drabbles and Oneshots that centered on our favorite DC Couple, Shinichi x Ran! Well actually, I haven't seen any ShinRan fics lately. Most fics about them were years ago, which by the way was AWESOME! I love all the 30 Kisses, 30 Ways, 40 Nights and Days of Romance. Oh, they are the reasons why I was inspired to write this. I wish I'll get as much as support as they had. Anyways, I hope you'll find this in your interest! So please read! ^_^

Disclaimer: Nope, no matter how much I wish that Shinichi was real and he'll be mine, it won't happen. Meaning I do not own him or anyone from the cast of DC. Mmkay?

Title: Summer Heat

Characters: Kudo Shinichi / Mouri Ran

Summary: The heat was finally getting into Shinichi's head! And it had nothing to do with the weather... ;)

The clear azure sky was bright and it didn't have any fluffy clouds dancing around. The sun was scorching hot nevertheless; a lot of people were enjoying it's warmth.

Summer: the most forward-looking season of the year. The perfect time to have some serious fun.

But for the famous Detective of the Heisei Era, it was not.

"Damn it… It's so hot…"

Shinichi Kudo, the nineteen year-old Shinichi Kudo, was leisurely laying on his back under the shade of a sakura tree with a book in one hand, using it as an improvised fan.

"Shinichi… No swearing." A female voice sternly told to him.

Ran Mouri, his best friend and girlfriend of two weeks was beside him, sitting on her legs while holding a notepad and a pen.

"Now…" she continued, "what is your answer for number three?"

"Ran! Can't we have a break?" the young lad whined.

"No! We are not here to have a break! You missed almost two years of school." her eyes narrowed at him. "You are sooooooooooooooooo lucky that they approved of you taking summer classes so you can enroll for the forth year…" she paused, "And can't you suffer a little? Call it a little repayment for the lying you had done to me.." she said whilst raising an eyebrow.

Shinichi scratch the back of his head and frowned.

Almost two months had passed since everyone knew about the secret of Shinichi Kudo or rather, Conan Edogawa. Even though a lot of people admired him for making the Syndicate fall down, not everyone was enthusiastic about the fact that he disguised himself as a cute seven year-old kid, especially Ran.

Making Ran forgive him was the toughest case he had ever done. He had to corner her, to go after her and to wait for her because she was trying her very best to avoid him. The emotional turmoil also made things worst for him because after two years of being close to her as Conan, he never knew that it would really hurt like hell to be away like this from her.

Finally, the day came when he entrapped her, with the help of Heiji and Kazuha, and forced her to listen to him. He told her the entire story and she was speechless for quite sometime. The famous detective was found nervously waiting for the reaction of his beautiful charge, so desperately wanting to lighten the mood, he offered her to punch him as poor repayment for what he had done.

The surprising thing is, she silently accepted the offer and punched him squarely in the face without any kind of preparation on his part. Shinichi flew some feet away from his original place and landed with athud. The moment he regained consciousness took twenty-five seconds, Heiji, Kazuha and Ran were already hovering above him and a sharp pain could be felt in the area around his nose and mouth.

Lifting a hand on the bruised area, Shinichi felt some sticky liquid around his mouth that he later realized that it was blood from his cut lips.

He wanted to whine, wanted to be mad at Ran for being so violent! But he knew better, and that it was not the proper time to pull that, especially for if he wanted her to forgive him. So with all the pent up frustrations of being hurt badly, Shinichi settled for a comment that neither he, Ran nor the Osakan couple expected.

"Why do you have to be so violent? Why do I have to be in love with you?"

That made everyone silent especially Ran, that stopped even before she can argue with him, and Shinichi for not expecting the big slip up.

An amount of blood, maybe 400cc, was transferred to his face making it tomato red.

He began stuttering and the Osakan couple started to giggle and snicker.

But Ran's expression was the most priceless. She laughed. Yes, laughed so hard and then tears began to fell on her pink tainted cheeks. Her charges began to feel confused until she spoke in a sobbing voice that she was so happy, so happy that the man she loves for all those years feel the same for her.

And so, they hugged and got each other's first kiss. Without letting Heiji and Kazuha watch it.

And yes, she forgave him.

Now, two weeks after that, here they are having some tutoring lesson for Shinichi to catch up with the lesson of the past two school years. He should be thankful that he took down the Syndicate and became famous because if not for that, he would never get this privilege in their school.

"I thought… You don't mind it now…" he mumbled and a little insecure.

Ran looked at him and giggled. It's really pleasurable to see that the ever calm and composed, not to mention egoistical boyfriend, became insecure whenever it comes to her.

"Silly! I'm just teasing you!" she smiled and playfully pet his head. "Still, you should listen to me…"

"But it's so hot." He said while fanning himself with his book once again.

"You're right. It is summer after all." Then she narrowed her eyes once again, "it is actually your fault that we are here in the park. Dad won't let you in the house yet and you said that your Mom will just bother us. And you picked this place. So it's your fault."

"Yes. I know. Can't you stop making me feel more bad and hot?" he huffed.

Ran grinned, looked back at the notes in her hand and began thinking about the questions she had noted down to help him study.

Shinichi looked at her with serene blue eyes. He lied. He didn't need a tutor because he was confident that he would pass the whole exam even without studying. It was just an excuse to spend the day with her. Even though she had said that she forgave him, Shinichi still wanted to make it up to her even if… it will… take…a… lifetime.

The normally fast paced thinking of Shinichi Kudo suddenly slowed down then totally blacked out. The only thing that he could focus to is the white column of Ran's neck.

Just like as he was, Ran must've felt the abnormal heat of the sun and decided to place all of her hair to the other side of her shoulder to somehow cool the skin at the back of her neck. And she didn't have any idea that the flesh she was exposing was making Shinichi's hormones to explode.

It also didn't help, but made things much worst, when she put a hand on that exposed flesh and gently ran her long fingers over it like she was sensuously caressing it.

Shinichi's eyes grew wide and it became inhumanly wider when she craned her neck upward and stroke the white column that was covered with thin layer of sweat that made the flesh seemed like it was glowing.

Oh… GOD!

The recently exploded hormones mutate and doubled its number and go for a run, attacking the brain thus making the logical mind of Shinichi Kudo to shut down.

All that was left was the image of Ran's hand and her neck and the pleasant and pleasurablethingsthat he can do if his hands and lips were also concerned.

As for Ran, she was just making herself, especially the back of her neck, cool because of the hot weather. She wanted to ask Shinichi if the heat was as hot as she felt it but the question was set aside when she gave him a look.

He was staring but his eyes were not focused. They were misted with something she couldn't quite put a finger on. One thing was for sure, he was out of this world.

"Shinichi!"

With one stern call, the oh-so-hot images became blurred and revealed the reality that he was in the park, under the shade of the sakura tree and with Ran. So, he was not in the big bed full of fluffy pillows with Ran, doing something… productive?

"Y-yeah?" he breathed trying to control the madly beating of his heart.

"Are you alright? You seemed so flushed. Is the heat getting on you?" She asked, concerned lacing her words as she leaned closer to him.

He might've been delighted at the genuine concern of his beloved if not only for the crazy hormones that were threatening to block out his mind.

"Of course I am… What made you think I'm not?" he mumbled not looking at her.

"Because your face is all red and you looked like something was bothering you." She asked again with equal concern.

"You're thinking too much…" was his only reply.

He hadn't recuperated from his little dream yet so to hide his flushed face he kept his gaze at the grass beneath his feet, that was until he heard a rustling that he looked to her. She had stood up and looking down at him with a cute smile plastered on her face.

"Stay here, okay. I'll get something to make us cool."

And with that, she sprinted away somewhere.

Shinichi heaved a sigh. He didn't want her to do the errand but his not-so-cooperating mind made his response slow. Well, while she was away from him, it might give him some time to come back to his normal thinking.

Ten minutes had passed and his being seemed to come back to normal. Now, he was gazing at the clear azure sky and waiting for Ran.

In the midst of his peacefulness, a freezing thing made contact with his cheek that made him jerk in surprise. He turned his back to look at what was that, only to see Ran grinning at him while clutching the ice cold canned soda that had recently made contact with his cheek.

"Isn't that supposed to be my thing?" he asked with half lidded eyes. Ran just grinned and sat next to him.

Shinichi get the soda from her hand and opened it. Then he realized that she didn't have any soda for herself.

"Where's yours? If you don't have enough money, you should have let me get it…"

Ran laughed at him and playfully slapped his shoulder.

"Baka! I intend to not buy a soda, Mr. Rich Boy." Then she raised a plastic pack to let him see. "I'm not thirsty, so I picked a Popsicle."

That made his eyes grew wide again.

Oh no…

He watched her unwrapped the plastic to reveal the red colored Popsicle.

Must be strawberry… he thought.

The hormones that had been put into sleep a little while ago were awake again and were threatening to take over his body. So until he had still some logical thinking left in his mind, he immediately turn his gaze away before Ran started to consummate the lucky Ice Popsicle.

It was so hard to keep him occupied with his canned soda when he can hear Ran's mewl as a sign that she was indeed very satisfied with the food's taste.

Lucky Popsicle!

A minute had passed but for him, it seemed like eternity. All he wanted to happen is for Ran to stop making noises that leave creative images inside his half-hormone-driven mind. What does it looked like anyway? Surely, way better than it sounds. So with a curiosity of a naturally curious teenage, he dared to take a look.

And the saying curiosity killed the cat suit it well, especially if you replaced the cat with his name.

Ran was currently lapping on her Popsicle and Shinichi swear that that thing stiffened. While she enjoyed eating, an amount of her ice-delight had already melt because of the heat around but Ran made no waste to it as she lick the droplets that were sliding over the length of her food.

Slowly. surely and sensually she licked over the length of her Popsicle and slid it entirely inside her mouth.

Oh my God… Oh my God… Oh. My. GOD!

She then pulled it out and bit the top.

With all her innocence, Ran giggled at the refreshing coolness that spread all over her mouth with no idea how she looked like at the eyes of a hormone-driven detective.

She was about to do the same thing again when Shinichi stood up.

"That. Is. It." he sternly said under hooded eyes.

Ran looked up at him, gaping and clearly confused.

He trembled as he tried to compose himself and think of an excuse for his sudden attack.

Ran was looking at him expectantly, looking for a valid reason for his sudden outburst. But he found none. If only he can tell her the truth without her breaking his neck.

"Shinichi?"

Still no response. His mind was still hanged and he desperately searched for some normal words inside his swimming-in-desire head.

He was really taking his time and Ran noticed that her Popsicle was already melting, drips falling on to the grass.

She was about to lap it again but Shinichi dreadfully clutch on to the last sanity of his mind and snatched the remaining food and toss it on the trash can.

"Shinichi! I am eating those!" she retorted, arms crossing over her chest.

Yes and you are tormenting me!

"Shinichi?" She called and she was now standing up.

"I… I'm in… heat."

Shinichi felt like an utter fool. He knew how ridiculous and perverted it sounds like.

"L-Let's go to the mall! Its air-contioned there and I will treat you lunch. How does it sound?" He desperately offered and prayed to the Gods that he will catch her with his bribery.

To his luck, Ran smiled and gave her an enthusiastic nod.

They started to pick up their things but Ran stopped and looked at him.

"What about you lessons?" she inquired to him.

He stopped picking the opened books and looked at her for a second before resuming his deed.

"You know that I don't need tutoring to pass, right?"

Ran smiled and nod. "I was actually wondering if you already loose your guts because you needed my help. It seems not… So, what the real reason?"

Shinichi's face turned in to a lovely shade of pink. He was still not used at things like this but, she is worth it.

"An excuse…" he said, barely audible but she heard it, "to be with you…"

Red painted Ran's cheeks and nose. She felt warm all over. It is really, really, really nice to have him because she never felt this happy with anyone else.

They finished picking their things and on their way to the bus stop. Holding each other hand, neither one was speaking. The silence was comforting and they were satisfied.

When they were at the bus, Shinichi silently thanked the Gods that the torments of his little karate champ had come to an end. All he had to do is to prevent her from doing something that will cause his nose to bleed and his mind to explode because of graphical and physical images of Ran in a very sensual sense.

"You know…" she said breaking the silence.

Shinichi looked at her and gave her a nod as an indication to continue.

"Since we will be at the mall, and since Sonoko's beach party was getting close…-"

Shinichi eyes widened and pray that the inevitable will not come.

"Would you mind to coming with me to shop for swimsuit that I can wear for the party?"

The hormones were already running down.

"I can let you choose…"

Now… Shinichi was officially lost in the paradise were there are hundreds of Ran wearing various bikinis, various little, short, sexy bikinis.

"Shinichi," she cried, "your nose is bleeding!"

P.S. Hope you liked it! I love it when Shinichi gets frustrated.. ehem.. sexually when it comes to Ran. Hahaha! I hope to see some review from you guys!

Until next time!
