Chapter 1: Hidden Feelings
P.O.V. : Ai Haibara/ Shiho Miyano
I lie in bed, wishing for the tears to stop. The way he looks at Ran is so different from the way he looks at Ran. When looking at her, his eyes are full of longing, worry, and care. Love. When looking at me, it's just as a friend.
I love him. I always have, ever since that first day at Teitan Elementary. He is accepting, takes responsibility for his actions, and genuinely cares for everyone around him.
"Why do the ones I love keep getting taken from me?" I scream. Everyone I care about leaves me. Mom. Dad. Akemi. Akemi. Am I being childish, neechan? I'm sorry. It's just… she has everyone. Her mom, dad, cat, friends, and now Conan. Don't I deserve someone? Don't I deserve to be happy?
Suddenly, a thought crosses my mind. I've never told him how I felt. Neither has Ran. Could I use this to my advantage? A grin slowly spreads my face as I begin to formulate a plan.
P.O.V. : Conan Edogawa/ Shinichi Kudo
I'm on the floor, next to a sleeping Ran. I feel so conflicted. I love Ran. I always have. Ever since we were young. She is pretty, smart, and popular.
Lately though, I have been self-conscious around Haibara. I try to impress her, try to be noticed by her. Am I falling in love? With Haibara? Impossible. But she is beautiful, intelligent, and mysterious. Not to mention popular with the boys. When I think about her, my pulse speeds up, and emotions swell up inside me. I want to protect her, to hold her when she cries, to be there for her. But she feels unreachable.
Anyway, I don't think she likes me that way. She has been avoiding me for a while now. I know I love Ran. But I don't know about Haibara.
Even if Haibara does like me in that way, she won't know if I do or not, and I have yet to get an answer to my confession to Ran. What do you think of me, Haibara? Why haven't you answered me Ran?
Ugh! Girls are so confusing!
