motzKID: So much to do, so little time! Anyway, aside from me cramming up for our incoming exams, I finally found a bit time for my story!! –throws books away and starts throwing confetti everywhere- So, let me present to you, a sweet story for my favorite couple!
(FLASHBACK)
"Hey, Shinichi!" Ran chased after the 7-year-old boy, "wait up!"
"What?" he asked coldly.
She chuckled, "no need to be cold! I just want to give you something," she smiled and took his wrist, making him blush.
"Watch it!" he whined.
She attached a bracelet on him, "it's a friendship bracelet. My aunt said it will make us friends forever!" she chuckled, "isn't that good?"
Shinichi stared at the bracelet with half-moon eyes, "looks gay to me," he said, continuing with his walk towards home.
Ran, who walked beside him, pouted, "come on! If you really want to look macho and stuff, you ought to wear that! Girls like men wearing bracelets," she finally smiled.
Shinichi grumbled, "gay, gay, gay," he said.
"Whatever, Shinichi!" she said, "look, my bracelet says 'together forever' while yours says 'friends forever'," she grinned.
"Why is it different?" he asked out of curiosity.
"I don't know…," she said, wondering, "but my aunt said it's really a friendship bracelet."
(END OF FLASHBACK)
-o-
Kudo Shinichi opened the box that he took out from the attic and sat down on the floor. He needed to find his dad's necktie for some reason. He coughed as dust spread everywhere as he rampaged through it.
Old glasses, books, pictures of people he did not know, old baby stuff…. Suddenly, he took out something that made him smile a bit, a blue bracelet that says 'Friends Forever'. He was take her to the prom and maybe if he wears this, she would be impressed, agree?
He sat on his bed and took the picture frame from his side-table. It was a picture of him and Ran with their bracelets on. He frowned, "friends FOREVER?" he mumbled, "why…?" he wondered.
-o-
Ran took out a blue halter-dress from her closet. She opened the drawer to pick out the best jewelry for the prom. She was going to the prom with the 'hottest' guy in school and probably, in their city.
But then, she smiled at the pink bracelet that laid on the jewelry box. It says 'Together Forever'. She blushed, "if I wear this… maybe he would…," she smiled and took it out anyway.

THAT NIGHT…
"Where could she be…?" he mumbled as he passed by giggling ladies over the snack table. Prom nights are supposed to be fun. By fun, meaning 'dancing-and-stuff'. But now, they were simply playing hide-and-seek. NOT fun.
Suddenly, as he was about to give up, he spotted one girl by the balcony. Her blue dress matched her figure well and that caught his attention. He did, however, recognize the simple-yet-lovely smile on her face and her soft brown hair that seemed to follow the direction of the wind.
She looked up at the round moon, making his heartbeat faster and faster by the minute. He approached her from behind, delicately hugging her from behind. She was startled by him causing her to look back, "hey," she finally said.
"You know, if you wanted your Prince Charming that badly, you didn't need to hide from him," he grinned, resting his chin, lightly, on her head.
"Whatever, Shinichi," she giggled, "I just thought that since you're a detective and all, you would figure out where I am."
"I'm a detective, not a psychic," he joked, causing her to smile.
She knew that he would let go any second now, but she realized that he wasn't planning to. Not yet.
"You look really nice tonight," he complimented.
"Thank you," she smiled.
"I mean it," he said.
"I know you did."
"No, really. I mean it."
She faced him, finally, "what are you trying to say, Shinichi?" she asked.
Suddenly, he leaned forward.
Girls have these instincts that when they are about to get kissed, they would close their eyes. As Ran did close her eyes slowly, he leaned back again. She looked at him, wondering what was wrong again.
He read her mind as he smiled, "this," he showed her the bracelet, "it says 'Friends Forever'," he grinned.
She smiled and showed her bracelet as well, "I see that you remembered I gave that to you," she took his wrist and removed the bracelet.
"What're you doing…?" he asked.
"What do you think?" she smiled as she took the bracelet off him and threw it far off the balcony, towards the pond.
"H-Hey," he said.
She took off her bracelet and attached it to his wrist, "together forever…?" she asked.
He smiled, "not friends forever?"
"Nah, I had it with being friends with you," she leaned on his shoulders, "how about moving forward?"
"It's a sure thing…," he smiled.
motzKID: if you didn't get that at all because of it's randomness, well lemme explain: Ran threw the bracelet that says 'FRIEND FOREVER' because she wanted him to be her lover.
Gets? Okay, so thanks for reading and I hope you'll review!
