Epilogue: Kiss

"You may kiss the bride now," the priest was saying.

Aoko and Kaito leaned closer together to kiss. The moment their lips touched, Kaito cupped his hands around Aoko's jaw and held it there so she couldn't break the kiss.

Everyone was saying "AWWWW......."

Shinichi and Ran were doing the same next to Aoko and Kaito. Heiji and Kazuha were just staring with red faces.

"I'm not sure we can do that, Heiji."

"Nope, you can't, I CAN," Heiji said as he followed Kaito's suit getting a surprised 'huh' from Kazuha.

The parents stood in the audience cheering and yelling.

"Our kids sure are maturing," Heizo said.

"Shin-chan looks so adorable in that suit!!!!" Yukiko was telling her husband. "Just like you did when you married me!!" Yukiko planted a kiss on Yusaku's cheek and giggled. "And you still blush when I kiss you!!!"

Nakamori-keibu was slightly smiling. "I guess they worked it out, didn't they?"

"Yes, you could say that," Kaito mother answered.

The grownups smiled as the couples finally broke apart from the kiss to breath.

~later that day~

"Can't believe you're married, huh, Kuroba?"

Kaito smiled. "It is sort of hard to believe."

The three boys were talking in the refreshments room after the room. The girls had been pulled over by some friends to take pictures in their gowns.

"By the way, are you still going after that Pandora's Gem or something?" Heiji asked, stuffing a rice ball into his mouth.

"Sure, nothing's going to stop me from getting that gem, even a wedding."

Shinichi snorted.

"Shut up, man."

Shinichi laughed.

Kaito glared, but said nothing.

"I'm just joking, man! Don't get unhappy on a wedding day, that means bad luck for the couple," Shinichi said as he slapped Kaito on the back.

Kaito smirked. "Fine, Conan-kun."

"Hey, I'm not Conan anymore, so don't call me that!"

Kaito just stuck his tongue out.

"You, how dare you!!!!"

The playful fight finally caught the girls' attention. They took a look and just shook their heads. "Boys...." Aoko turned the girls' attention back to the conversation about how they would furnish their rooms, where to live and all that girl talk.

~that evening~

"It's so great," Shinichi said.

He, Heiji and Kuroba were in the lobby waiting for the girls who were changing upstairs.

"What do you mean, Kudo? You mean getting married?" Heiji turned his attention away from the kendo tournament on TV.

"Sort of, but what I'm really thankful for is having friends who understand and are willing to forgive."

"Kudo, I never knew you to get so serious," Kaito said, lifting his eyes from his magic magazine.

"I can be when I want to be."

Kuroba smiled. "I know what you mean."

Heiji just looked from Shinichi's face to Kuroba's face. Man, they so much alike. I could easily mistake Kuroba for Kudo if they don't act differently. Wonder how neechan and Aoko tell the difference. He shook his head. No time to worry about that now, oh, look there comes the girls. Better get a move on it.

The boys stood up and hugged their wives as they walked up to them.

"What was that for, Shinichi?" Ran asked as she hugged him back.

"To make sure you'll never do that to anyone else, besides me."

Ran smiled. "You can bet on that."

"Thanks."

"Heiji, don't hug me so tightly!!! I can't breathe!" Kazuha cried.

"Sorry," Heiji said as he loosened his grip.

"What's that for?"

"To make sure that you're still mine," Heiji replied as he let go of his wife.

"Always will be."

"Love you."

"Kaito, what's the big deal?" Aoko asked as Kaito scooped her up into to a tight bear hug.

"Got to get used to it, Aoko. I love doing it," Kaito answered with a grin.

"Come on, Kaito."

"Love you, so I can't lose you."

"You never will."

"Outstanding." Kaito let the girl go and instead took her hand. "Let's go now, shall we, boys?"

Heiji and Shinichi nodded and the three couples left for their moonlight stroll on the beach.
