Secrets Revealed

By MoonlightKagomeHimeko

Shinichi sits on his couch at home after reading the paper about the men they caught the other day. His mind lost in thought. He fingers the small bowtie he wore just the day before as Conan Edogawa. Looking up to the ceiling, he sighs deeply.

He didn't understand why he felt so alone. He was back to his normal body, but he didn't feel right.

'Could it be that…I miss being small?'

The doorbell rang softly, interrupting his thoughts.

"Shinichi…" a voice came from the entrance of the house. "…Can I come in…?"

His head sprang up and he turned to see Ran standing in the doorway, a wet umbrella in hand.

Shinichi nods and motions her to come in and sit down. His cheeks became flushed as he remembered what he was going to tell her when this happened.

She looked him straight in the eyes but tried to keep him from seeing her face. "Shinichi…I was right…you had never left me…Conan…he was you…you protected me all those times, and I didn't even know it was you."

He knew she had been crying. He could tell by how her body shook as she spoke.

Shinichi got up and sat down on the couch next to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder."Ran…" he spoke softly, "You must have been scared…"

"Of course I was! You were always gone! I thought I'd never see you again!" she said in a half breath, her words reducing to a whisper. "I just wish you had told me sooner that you were beside me the whole time."

"I didn't want you to get hurt." He places his free hand on hers. "If word got out that I was turned into a child, they would have come after me sooner and they would have really killed you."

She sniffled a bit and then looked up at him. Her eyes were red and puffy, filled with tears. She had been crying for a long time. "Shinichi…" her cheeks became flushed remembering what she had said to Conan when she first met him.

'I like someone'

'It's that boy you were looking for, isn't it? You like Shinichi-niichan.'

'That's right.'

"Shinichi…do you remember what I told Conan…I mean, you when I first talked to you as Conan?"

Shinichi's cheeks became flushed as well. His memory didn't fail him. She had told him that she loved him. A smile touched his face. "Ran. I love you more so than anyone in this world."

There. He said it. He followed through with his promise.

In seconds, soft skin touched his lips.

His other arm wrapped around her tightly as he kissed her back.

It seemed to last so long.

They finally pulled away and stared at each other. Ran quickly turned away and blushed. "Don't keep secrets from me anymore, okay? It's worries me."

Shinichi nodded and blushed as well.

She turned to look back at him curiously, "You know, I've never figured out how you could call me with your real voice like that?"

He holds up his little, red bowtie, "This little thing is an invention Agasa came up with that came in convenience. You turn the dial here to set the voice and gender and then speak into it. See? I'm you!" he explained, showing her the tie and imitating her through it.

She giggle at the amazing device. He turned to pick up his little shoes and glasses to show her their useful features.

Soon it became late and Ran decided to head home.

As she walked out the door, she didn't feel scared or worried about Shinichi disappearing again…



…Because he never did…
