"I will never understand why you insist on fraternizing with him."

"Wh—Haibara!" Shinichi yelped as he turned to face her, "Don't sneak up on me like that!"

She raised an eyebrow at him, "Just because you were so focused on sneaking out you didn't notice me doesn't mean I was trying to be quiet."

"I wasn't—"

"Kudo-kun, it's two in the morning, the only reason you would be leaving at this hour is because you knew we wouldn't approve."

Shinichi scowled at her, "I don't care how suspicious you think he is, I know he's a good person."


A/N: Prompt word: fraternize- to be friendly or amiable; to associate on close terms with members of a hostile group

My shipping bias is showing a bit here I think. (I just realized I didn't even name who Shinichi's meeting XD)
