The Lost Art of Having a Relationship
I do not own Detective Conan, but I love it!
Sometimes people tend to be so slow (like me), it´s just like that in my story...
Chapter2: Melting
He was so proud of himself. He hadn´t been that proud in years, last when he caught a thieve before his father could.
His plan was working. Not only did Kazuha believe his story - it even worked - his crazy fan girls hadn´t really bothered him all day and even better, he would win his bet.
Heiji felt great. Stretching he walked on through the school corridor, one arm hanging lazily around Kazuha´s slender shoulder.
Wait. Had he just referred to Kazuha as slender? Such a thought had never before appeared in his mind.
Looking down at her he recognized she was glancing around the room. Following her gaze he saw most of their fellow students were watching them, trying to hide it though it was obvious.
Heiji sighed and tightened his grip around Kazuha just like he would have done with any of his former girlfriends, too.
The girl tensed immediately, but seemed to relax after some seconds, melting into his form.
That was the moment Heiji realized it…
Kazuha felt doomed. Her day had been a disaster. Now that Heiji was left alone by most girls of their school they seemed to concentrate on bullying her.
But, Kazuha had to admit that, they did it in a more subtile way than she´d have thought. By this way Kazuha had not only been assaulted all day but the jealous girls even managed to persuade some of her teachers she´d try to disturb class.
And right now she was walking through the school corridor with Heiji who played his role quite well, right now with a goofy grin spread across his face. Kazuha sighed and watched him for some seconds. What on earth could he be thinking about that made him smile that brightly? Not about her, for sure.
Sighing again she gazed around the room, suddenly realizing that still all eyes were on them.
Her breath caught in her throat. Why had she agreed to this stupid act that destroyed her whole day?
She could feel the gazes of the people they had passed on her back and she heard them mumble, but could not understand a word.
And then, all of sudden, Heiji´s grip around her tightened. Not daring to look up she felt her body go stiff at the increase of his touch on her and her heart started to race.
Nothing´s wrong, Kazuha. This is just Heiji! She reassured herself. Remember, it´s just an act. Just go with the flow, like he told you!
Slowly Kazuha´s body seemed to get smoother again, until it rested at Heiji´s side.
Actually it felt quite nice, she had to admit that.
It felt different from his former girlfriends, he had to admit that.
Somehow even better.
He realized Kazuha seemed to fit to his side perfectly, leaving no spaces. Not like some of his girlfriends whom he just could not get comfortable with in this position. Something always seemed to be in the way. Her arm, his arm, her shoulder… But this time nothing bothered Heiji.
He could have walked on like this forever.
Leaving the school building he looked at Kazuha, who was miles away with her thoughts.
"Kazuha?" he asked, trying not to startle her.
"Hmmm?" She blinked and stared at him, somehow coming back to reality.
He grinned slightly at her confused expression. "Did I tell you we´ve been invited to a party?"
She shook her head, her ponytail slightly striping his shoulder that she still leaned next to.
"We´ve been invited to Eliza´s birthday party!" Kazuha´s face eclipsed right away and she turned her face to the side.
"No, Heiji, not her party. I won´t go, you just go alone!"Heiji frowned. Shaking his head he took his arm from her shoulder.
She immediately missed his warmth. Looking into his direction she shook her head again, this time more vigorously. "Are you nuts? She hates me! Why on earth should I go to her party!"
"But you are my GIIIIRLFRIIIIEEEEND!" He purposely drew the word in his length to put emphasis on it. "As my girlfriend you should not give Eliza any chance to hit on me!"
Kazuha frowned irritatedly.
"As if I care…"
"So, you are coming to my party, Toyama-chan?" Eliza smiled a wicked smile at Kazuha and her lipstick shimmered in the light of the sun that floated through the open window in the classroom. Another day of horror at school was nearly over and all Kazuha wanted was to go home.
"Of course, Heiji and I were invited, weren´t we?"
She smiled innocently at Eliza.
Something looked different about the girl. Her blond locks were in a huge ponytail that Kazuha had never seen on her before.
"New hair style?" she asked and Eliza turned red.
"I still won´t believe he´s fallen for you, you clutz!" she hissed, turning on her very expensive looking heel to exit the room.
Kazuha sighed. Heiji had really gotten her to agree to the party. She could not even tell how. And what was even worse she had approved to act as a proper couple, just without kissing.
Even worse, Heiji had told her to practice her amorous glances.
