Here it is, chapter 4...hope you enjoy it!
Haibara's POV
"I can't believe it, I wasted nearly two hours just to find something nice to wear and I still didn't find anything nice to wear..." I said to myself with my tone started to increase. After a moment or two, I decided to just drop everything and lay there in bed.
While I relax, I started to think rationally again. After a deep sign, I starts to put all of my scattered clothes away. Soon after I completed my objective, Kudo came into my room and presented me two tickets to see a Gomera film in my hands. I look at him questionably.
"What your deal Kudo? Asking me to the movies with you? Well sadly, I have to decline your offer." I said as I hands him his tickets. One thing for sure, I don't take pity from no one, especially someone like Kudo.
"Oi Oi... That's too bad Haibara. I meant to give you these tickets so you could invite Masudo-san older brother but since you decline, I guess I can give it to someone else." Kudo said as he attempts to retract his hand back but before he could, I quickly grab his arm. "Hold it!" I yelled. "I take it back." I said as I grab the tickets and turn around holding them dearly. "Just to let you know, these tickets are good up until this weekend so you better ask him ASAP. He said cautiously. I then place them inside one of my drawers and made my way to sit down on my bed. "So may I ask why you are helping me?" I ask, surprise by his actions. "To put it simple, I just want you to live happy and a more normal life than your previous one. Plus I enjoy seeing your face red like a tomato and seeing you fidgeting." He said with a smile. As he finish with his reasons, I walk toward him and whack him yet again like Mr. Moore. "Arh... oi Haibara you better not make it a habit." He said hold his head with both of his hands. "Same goes for you Kudo, oh and thanks" I said smiling at him as I left my room to get something to eat.
Next Day
"Oi, Haibara are you coming with us to check out the new games that came out?" Said Ayumi as she with Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Conan waited in the living room. "Sure, why not since I don't got anything better to do at the moment." Said Haibara as they left Dr. Agasa's house. "So Conan, did you met with Masudo-kun yesterday to tell him about today?" Said Ayumi while holding onto one of his arms. "Yep, he said he might come but would only window shop. " Conan said while continuing to walk, a bit uncomfortable by Ayumi clinging on to him. "It must be hard on Masudo-kun and his older brother, especially since Masudo-kun older brother works more than one job just to have ends meet." Mitsuhiko said, analyzing their financial lifestyle. "Hey, Masudo-kun older brother works most if not all of the days with little rest. Maybe we should do something about it." Said Ayumi as she let go of Conan's arm.
"Maybe bringing in some rice and eel once in a while." suggests Genta while holding onto his stomach. "Genta-kun, you always think about food, don't you?" Said Ayumi with a smile. "But he might be right, at least we could do is invite them over to some dinner once and a while." Suggests Haibara with a faint blush. "That's sound fun, I'm sure they would enjoy it." Ayumi said excited by the very idea. "Yeah, it definitely does." Said Mitsuhiko. "Yay, free food!" Genta yells raising his hand up in the air. "Ok, it settle, Haibara will ask Masudo-kun older brother to come over sometime this week." Conan said with a hidden smirk. "Nani!" Haibara reply, upon hearing what Kudo said. "Why must I be the one to ask?" She said nervously. "Well since it's your idea and your doing pretty much doing the cooking." Replies Conan, with no hesitation. "Yeah, Conan-kun is right you should be the one to ask, since you are doing the cooking and it will give us the chance to know them better." Ayumi said.
But before Haibara could reply, they children arrives at the mall and went into a game store. "inviting him for dinner..." Haibara murmurs while looking down but stop thinking about it after hearing Conan voice. "Do you see Masudo-san yet?" Conan said looking around. "Nope, maybe he's not coming." Said Genta. "I'm sure if we wait a bit, he bound to show up. If you need me, I'll be at the bookstore." Haibara said as she walks out of the game store and to the bookstore which is located across from the game store. "K..." Said Ayumi.
"Maybe, I can find something interesting to read to take my mind out of that." Haibara said as she enter the bookstore. As she walks down the mystery aisle she bumps into someone she did not expect to see. "You're the girl who is living with Dr. Agasa." Said a voice. Haibara quickly turn around to see Subaru Okiya behind her. "What are you doing here by yourself." He ask as he walks closer to her. Haibara still don't trust him and tries to walk backward. She feels scare whenever he's around, especially when she thinks he might be a member of the Black Organization. Before Okiya could get any closer, a voice haibara knows is heard. "Haibara-chan?" Haibara quickly turn to the direction of the voice, only to see Masudo-san older brother. "Oh, so you know her?" Okiya said now facing Masudo-san older brother. "yes, she's a classmate and friend of my little brother." Masudo-san older brother replies, walking closer to Haibara. "Is that so, then would it be fine if you could accompany her since she seems to be more comfortable with you than with me." Okiya said unexpectedly, well unexpected for Haibara that is. "Yeah, it's no problem if she's fine with it." Masudo-san older brother replies back, now looking at Haibara.
"uh...yeah...I'm f-fine with that." She said as her heart starts to beat faster. "Then it's settle then, oh and tell Dr. Agasa I said Hi." Okiya said with a slight smile. Haibara merely nodded with caution.
LATER AT A BAKERY STORE...
"So Haibara-san, are you alright?" Masudo-san older brother said. "Haibara-san?" Haibara reply quickly by the sudden change in suffix. "Oh, gomen I only address you Haibara-chan because you look frighten when you saw Okiya-san so I tried to make it seems I am somewhat familiar with you in hope to get you away. I apologies if it's a bother to you." He said. "N-no, it's fine you can call me haibara-chan." She said, somewhat took a liking to that name and it's a lot cuter than Haibara-san. "Well that's good, it definitely sounds cuter." He said causing Haibara to look down at her plate. "Arigato." She said blushing madly. "Still nervous huh? I figure going out to eat at a bakery would calm you down but I guess not." Masudo-san older brother said a bit sad. Haibara noticing this reacts quickly. "Y-your wrong, it just that I was surprises to see you there is all." She said as she yet again look down. "Is that so? Well if it helps, I was looking for a job and went in to see if there a opening in the bookstore." He started. "Another job? Why? I-If y-you don't me asking." Haibara said realizing how quickly she replied.
"Well the thing is, at one of my job, the manager told me he may have to drop some workers and since he have some understanding of my situations, he told me that I might be one of them so to be prepare, I went on my day off to look for a job just in case." He said. "That must be tough, working three jobs at the same time, that is..." Haibara said who then starts to eat the small cake he bought for her.
"I guess, but I am somewhat used to it, and it helps with my resume. Plus, I acquire skills I would never thought possible." He said happily. "L-like what?" Haibara blushing by his sudden smile. "Like making a cake, especially for Masudo's birthdays, preparing pretty good food, and also repairing wooden furniture and parts of a house." He said still thinking of more skills he acquire. "What about you? If I remember correctly, you live with Dr. Agasa and how mature you are as well as other things." He said. "What other things?" She said curious on what he heard about her. "Well during one of the meet the parents day, I overheard some of the students saying how Haibara is known in the class as the Ice Princess, a bit scary, smart, cute and so on." He said as he look up to see Haibara's shaking. "U-uh, I'm sorry if I somehow offended you." He said to her. "N-no, it just that I was surprised that someone said I am cute." Haibara said continuing to look down. "Really? Well I would also agree, you are definitely cute." He said. This cause Haibara to blush madly. "T-Thank You..." Is all she could say.
After she finishes eating, they went back to the game store. "So what are you planning to buy in the game store?" Masudo-san brother said. "Well, honestly nothing but the others wanted to buy a new game that came out recently and I thought since there's a bookstore nearby, I might as well go." she aid "Oh, there they are." Masudo-san older brother said as the rest of the detective league are seen with Masudo leaving the game store. "I guess this is where we split up." He said as he begins to make his way to his little brother but before he could, he felt a small tug from his shirt. "Wait! There is something I want to ask you." He said as she look at him straight in the eye. W-would you and your brother like to come over f-for dinner some time this w-week?" She said. "Sure, I think we both would like that. Is Thursday a good day for you?" He ask. "Y-yes, Thursday is fine." She said as she starts to look down. A habit she been doing a lot lately. "Well then see you Thursday." He said as he starts to walk toward Masudo again but yet again felt a tug. "Is there something else you would like to ask?" He said. "Yes, w-would you like t-to...g-g-gg" Before she could finish, she felt dizzy and lean forward but before she hit the floor, she felt someone embracing her. "Haibara-chan!"
Before she completely pass out, she heard footsteps coming toward her location. And before she knew, everything turns dark. The next time she wakes up, she finds herself in her room, her body pretty tire. "Oh Haibara-chan, your wake..." Said a familiar. She turns to the source of the voice and sees Dr. Agasa bringing in some breakfast. "What happened?" She said as she lift herself up, only lean forward and using one of her arm for support. "It seems you lost conscious when you were with Masudo-san older bother. Luckily he carried you on his back all the way home and stayed all night." Said Dr. Agasa. Upon, hearing his name, Haibara look up. "Whe-" "He left around 4 in the morning to go to work." Said Conan coming into Haibara's room. "He stayed as long as he could but left since he can't afford to miss work." He said. "Oh..." She said while looking down. Feeling she's only troubling him, making him sleepless but still go to work. "Although, he did left a message for you." Conan said as he made his way toward one of her drawers. "When he was looking for your pajamas, he found the tickets." He said while opening up the a drawer and taking out the tickets.
"I can only say that after you attempt to ask him out and the fact one of this tickets is a adult ticket, he put the two together and figure out that you tried to ask him out to see a movie." Conan said. "His message?" She ask in a low tone. "His message is, I'll be waiting for you to ask me. He also said to not try to hard for him." He said. "I-is that so..." She said while seems to be in deep thought. "Wait, he went to my room?" She said blushing. "Yeah, where else would he take you to rest? And how else would he discover the tickets?" He said a bit surprised. "You gave us quite a shock, I had Ran-neechan change you while you were unconscious." He said. "He went inside my room..." She said. "Yes, we already established that." He said getting a bit annoyed. "He been to my room." She said while blushing in shocked. "Oi Dr. Agasa, I think Haibara is losing it." He said. "Let her try to work this one out on her own. It her first time she has a crush, and having said crush in her room." He said. "Yeah I know, but I didn't expect this from her." He said looking at Haibara current state.
"He been in my room."
"He been in my room."
"In my room, carrying me."
"And I wasn't awake for it!" Haibara yelled.
