Summary: Conan kissed Ai right? Will she find out that Conan kissed her? Furthermore, is Conan possibly falling for her?
(7 am, Haibara's POV)
I woke up and I felt warmer than ever before. I looked at Conan and noticed he was embracing me tightly, his arms wrapped around me. Moreover, his face was barely an inch apart from mine. I smiled softly and carressed his hair. However, I have to get up to check his temperature. I reluctantly pushed him so that I could get up and take the termometer to check his temparature. I gently put it in his mouth and waited for the 'beep'. Soon, i read his temperature and it was only 36 degrees.
"It's good that you are not sick anymore, Kudo-kun." I whispered to him. I went out of his room to grab some breakfast when I saw Hakase in the dining room eating his breakfast.
"Ohayou, Ai-kun," he greeted me. I ignored him and grabbed a slice of bread on the table and ate it.
Being ignored, Hakase spoke up, " How's Shinichi? Is he feeling any better?"
"Yes, a lot better Hakase. In fact, his temperature is only 36 degrees. Therefore, he no longer has fever." I replied coolly.
I thought that by replying to Hakase would make him satisfied and continued eating. However, he seemed to be deep in thought. I simply ignored it and rolled my eyes and resumed eating my breakfast.
"Where were you last night anyway? It seems that you weren't in your room, I saw you coming out from Shinichi's room. Masaka, have you been sleeping with him lately?" he asked that awkward question with his eyebrows raised. Upon hearing his question, I nearly choked my food but I was able to handle it.
"Fine, I did slept with him on the same bed to take care of him throughout the night," I explained. Hakase raised his eyebrows higher, suspecting something. "What? It's not as if that Kudo-kun and I make out..." I answered sarcastically, hoping that Hakase would lose.
He just shooked his head and spoke once more, "Aren't you suppose to go to school? You didn't come to school for two days already," he informed me.
I folded my arms and smirked, "Why would I go to school where there are lots of imbeciles there?" I answered coolly. It is true that I would be stuck in this body and go to school everyday and just to learn the basic things which I had already learnt. Furthermore, I would be stuck baby sitting some childish brats.
"You have to go or you'll be late and Shinichi's okay now, I'll keep an eye on him." Hakase reassured me. I sighed and got ready for school.
(At school, Haibara's POV)
I was walking to the hallway alone when Tsuburaya-kun (Mitsuhiko) came up to me. "Haibara!" he called out. I just shot him a cold glare and folded my arms.
"What do you want, Tsuburaya-kun?" I replied coldly.
"Well, I just... Err..." he stammered, but soon, he tried talking to me again. "Well, I just wanted to ask you why didn't you come to school lately?" he asked me.
"None of your business. I wasn't sick anyway," I answered, hoping that he would just go away so that I could have some time to think peacefully.
"Can I ask you a question?" he asked me nicely inspite of my cold attitude towards him. "Just ask anyway," I told him, rolling my eyes.
"Well... Erm... Tomorrow's Valentine's Day so would you go out on a date with me? Tomorrow after school." he asked nervously, biting his lips, hoping that I would say "Yes".
"Sorry, I'm occupied for today and tomorrow," I answered again.
"Is it because of Conan? Why is it always Conan?" he questioned me loudly, his fists clenched tightly and his eyes were watery. I did not even bother to answer the question. I just closed my eyes and turned around, hoping that he would just go away.
Not hearing any answer from me, he walked away with a broken heart. "Sorry Tsuburaya-kun, but I could only be with Kudo-kun and nobody else," I apologised softly, but perhaps he wouldn't be able to hear it.
I felt a little guilty rejecting Tsuburaya-kun, however, Kudo-kun is the only one for me and I would not fall in love with anyone else. I did not give up in loving Kudo-kun inspite of him being oblivious to the affections I had for him. I would wait for him even if it takes forever. Many people would say that if your love is unrequited, you should give up because you'll find someone else who is much better. However, Kudo-kun is the only one for me.
( 30 mins later)
I was preparing to go to Science Class when Yoshida-san (Ayumi) came up to me.
"Ai-chan! How are you and how's Conan-kun?" she greeted me.
"Well, I'm fine. As for Conan, I think he's getting better," I replied.
"Are you sure? Because I think he seems depressed about something. Do you have any idea why he's depressed?" she asked me once more.
I closed my eyes and explained to her, "Well, Edogawa-kun had been dumped by his first love. He felt remorseful about it greatly. I tried to make him feel better. However, my efforts seemed to be futile. Moreover, this affair is confidential, don't tell Edogawa-kun I told you about this and I can't tell you who the girl is. I bet this information will be enough for you and I can't elaborate."
Yoshida-san simply nodded her head with a smile on her face. "You love him too, don't you?" Yoshida-san asked me in a serious voice. Her question bothered me. I simply ignored it and tried to change the topic. But Yoshida-san's face was so serios that I was unable to neglect the issue.
"Alright, fine, I do, so what?" I broke down and confessed my hidden affections that I had for him. Instead of seeing Yoshida-san teary-eyed, I saw her smiling. Her unexpected reaction made me confused. "Aren't you suppose to be worried that I have feelings for him?" I questioned her.
"Well, I love Conan-kun as well. However, this would not break our friendship. Actually, I would sometimes notice that you are much more closer to him. That's why it bothered me at first because I was unable to get Conan's attention. Since you love him and closer to him, please do me a favor, Ai-chan," she explained to me.
I simply nodded my head and therefore she continued, "If I'm unable to win his heart, would you please make him happy? Please Ai-chan? If your not doing it for me, would you please do it for Conan? I don't want to see him so depressed anymore."
I was stunned by her words that I couldn't say anything. I thought that she wasn't mature enough to understand anything about love. But I was wrong. Yoshida-san's forgiving, she even let Kudo-kun to be mine. I thought that it would be hard for her to understand and would hate me. But I guess my thoughts are not always right.
"I will, you can count on me," I vowed to her. She really was a friend despite that she was only 10. She smiled at me and turned around to walk to her class.
"Oh wait!" I called out to her, hoping I would be able to talk to her a little more. "Yes Ai-chan?" she asked me.
"Thanks you," I thanked her gratefully, "thanks for letting me have Edogawa-kun. Hope that you would find a boy who has potential, Ayumi-chan." She smiled again when she heard me call her by her first name. She turned around once more, and waved good-bye to me.
I really felt grateful towards her. Now, I knew the true meaning of friendship. There are times where best friends broke their friendship just because they fell for the same person. However, Yoshida-san is a selfless child and is willing to make Kudo-kun and I happy. In fact, every friend should be forgiving and selfless. I smiled softly and kept her favor in in my mind. Don't worry Ayumi, I'll make sure he's happy.

(Hakase's residence, Conan's POV)
I woke up and found that Haibara isn't by my side. Oh, how I miss her. I could still remember what I did last night. I just shrugged my shoulders and come out of my room. At the living room, I saw Hakase watching television. I looked around and Haibara wasn't there.
"Hakase, have you seen Haibara? " I asked Hakase. Hakase turned around and replied, "Well, she's at school and she'll come home later."
I nodded my head and headed to the dining room to eat. "Demo, Shinichi," Hakase called out which made me stopped and turned around. "What?" I asked Hakase if something was up.
"Well, you should really thank Haibara. She took care of you when you were sick non-stop, she even slept beside you just to ensure that you are alright. I suggest that you do something nice for her to show your gratitude," Hakase suggested.
"Alright, but don't tell her what I'm planning," I told Hakase. He just gave me a reassuring smile and I headed to the dining room to grab something to eat.
After eating my breakfast, I dialled Hattori's number to tell him what had happened last night. "Oi! Kudo! What made you call the great detective of the West?" Hattori answered the phone.
"Okay, look, I need your help," I said to Hattori on the phone.
"Oohh, for once the "great" Kudo is desperate for my help. Pinch me if I'm dreaming!" Hattori said sarcastically.
"Don't try to be sarcastic. Anyway, I was about to tell you a hot news that no one knows except for me but I guess you're not interested. I'm hanging up right now." I informed Hattori.
"Oi! Chotto Matte Yo! Don't hang up the phone! I'm interested to know," Hattori yelled on the phone, agitated to know what was the "hot news".
"Okay, I fell sick a few days ago and was unconcious. Therefore, Haibara nursed me for 2 days and even slept with me to ensure that I was alright," I paused for a moment, I was about to continue when Hattori interrupted me.
"Oh god! Don't tell me that you two...," Hattori exclaimed but I immediately interrupted him, "Moron! Listen to me, we didn't, okay? I was unconscious remember? Actually, I woke up last night and found her sleeping beside me. She was so beautiful that I... I... kissed her," I hesitated for a moment, half of me wanted to tell my best friend while the other told me not to.
"Well, do you love her?" Hattori asked me a very short question but a tough one. I froze for a moment and though of it for a moment.
"I...I... think so...," I answered hesitantly. In fact, I was confused whether I love her or not.
"Dude! Wake up and smell the love in the air! You can't be confused! You must be sure whether you love her or not!" Hattori lectured me. His yelling almost made my ears deaf. I tried to think about it but I was still confuse. Not hearing any answer from me, Hattori spoke again and this time, it was rather a serious tone, "Think about it deeply. If you love her, ask her out," Hattori suggested.
I tried to think of it again but Hattori said, "Well, take my advice Kudo, I got to go now, I need to plan for my date with Kazuha tomorrow."
With that, he hung up the phone while I lied on my bed, thinking about it all over again.
I was in my room, reflecting if I really love her. I really feel like an idiot right now. She's been with me for the whole time and I get to reveal her true personality. Her smile, beauty, care, everything.
She taught me things in this world that nobody else would. I love her rare smile, her sarcasms, her intelligence, her attitude, everything's perfect. She cared for me like I was the last person that she loves. She was there for me when I needed someone. After all this time, I was oblivious Haibara, her care for me. I was so focused on cases and Ran that I didn't know that I was neglecting Haibara.
I had always wanted her to be happy and safe. But I could not do it without loving her. I also cared for her as much as she does to me. If I wanted her to be happy and safe, that means I cared for her. And if I did, I love her. But in what way do I love her? Is it romantically? I'm such an idiot, why can't I get a straight answer?
I tried to dig deep about the whole thing and I had finally made up my mind. She cared for me whenever I needed someone there for me and when everything's seemed wrong. I protected her and tried to make her smile everyday because she was special to me. She became my parthner when it comes to cases and a friend. She tried comforting me when I'm depressed. There were many things Haibara and I went through together. When I kissed her, the feeling was great that I couldn't find any words to describe it.
Actually, I didn't made up my mind, my heart did. And my heart chosen her to be with me, to love and care for her and live forever with her. And only her. I love her. Now, I am looking forward for her to come home from school and ask her out on a date for Valentine's.
(2 hours later)
I was bored out of my mind while I was waiting for her. Soon, I heard the gate's sound and I confirmed that it was definitely her. I smiled and ran quickly to approach her.
"Hey, Haibara, how's school?" I greeted her and grabbed her school bag so that I could carry it. My unusual act made her suspicious and she raised her eyebrows and observed me.
"What has gotten into you? Anyway, I could see that you're feeling better," she said.
"Well, this happened thanks to you," I praised in a "Casanova" style.
"Whatever," she rolled her eyes. Her ignorant reply made me annoyed but I liked it anyway.
As we headed inside the house, I popped the question that was in my mind, "Haibara, are you free tomorrow? Because tomorrow's Valentine's and I want to take you somewhere," I asked nervously and I mentally hoped that she would say "Yes".
"Are you asking me out? On a date?" she gasped in surprise, but she didn't really give me a straight answer. She never gave me a straight answer.
Hence, I replied, "Awkward, but yes. I want to take you out on a date tomorrow after school."
She blinked her eyes once, twice, she opened her mouth to say something, "I don't know what to say, I...," she paused for a moment but continued, "Okay, fine."
I smiled cheerfully and hugged her immediately, carried her that her feet was a few inches above the ground and spun her around quickly. It was so fast that it was only for about a few seconds and after doing so, I went to my room, leaving Haibara stunned.
I closed the door and rejoyed. It was weird but I really felt jubilant when she said "Yes". I really was falling for her.
(End of Conan's POV)
(Haibara's POV)
I was too stunned to say anything. Kudo-kun had been acting weird since I came here. Just what happened? The fact that he's acting weird, asking me out on a date and feeling overjoyed when I said "Yes". I was confused but I just shrugged my shoulders and went to my room.
I opened my drawer and took the picture I had with Kudo-kun. I smiled and I was glad that he asked me out. I was pessimistic that that would never happen. I just couldn't wait for tomorrow. However, I was also confused what to wear or where he would take me. Most importantly, I am planning when should I confess to him...
(End of Haibara's POV)
