Disclaimer: Detective Conan is not mine. The series belongs to its creator, Gosho Aoyama, and I'm just borrowing the characters and scenery to create these short tales.

Drabble 4: Haibara, Aren't you Taking your Job a Bit too Seriously?
Premise: In a future where the antidote's formula eluded Haibara for so long that it wasn't worth developing anymore.

The teachers hit upon an excellent strategy for keeping two of their students awake and within school.
Let the two teach from time to time and grant them the power to assign homework. The students were surprised. None moreso than the two in question. They proved to be capable teachers however, and the complaints soon slowed to a trickle. Today was Ai's turn.
It wasn't that she was boring, but habit soon had Conan napping at his desk while Ai was up front teaching the material to the class. Moments later, he almost leapt from his seat when she slammed a large stack of papers in front of him.
"Homework for the slacker," she loudly proclaimed, before smirking and returning to the front.
He groaned before laying back down to continue his interrupted nap.
Later that night, while the two were working on that stack of homework together, Conan on solving the problems and Ai on grading them, Conan wondered why his friend usually assigned such large stacks of homework when he usually avoided giving out homework on his day.
Ai hummed lightly. It seemed like she was being cheerful at his expense, however it was nothing of the sort. Really.
Lately, Conan had been the only friendly face in the crowd. When he faded, all that was left were ill-concealed expressions of lust and hostility from the other students. She couldn't figure out how Conan managed to deal with it, but this was her way to control her classmates. She also thought it was rather clever that, in addition to instilling some fear into the crowd, it was a subtle way to find some quiet time with her detective.

A/N: I prefer stories...but...there's a reason for these drabbles. If you think that a character wouldn't do that, please let me know. I'm trying to get a feel for the characters so that my eventual stories would be more believable.
