[Detective Conan is not mine nor any other characters the pertake in my story]
The day was nice and brisk. Conan Edagowa shivered and held his oversized coat close to him while Rachel window shopped. She seemed like she wasn't cold at all. He tugged on her vibrant blue coat as he always did to get her attention.
Rachel's eyes fell from the hats onto Conan, "Sorry, Conan let me just buy this hat real quick then we can go home." Conan tried to smile but his face was almost completely numb from the winter air. She grabbed Conan by the hand gently as they walked into the store.
"Her hand...is so warm.", thought Conan as he felt the warm air come out of the small store.
Rachel turned away from the store clerk who was scanning her hat and smiled at Conan., "You behaved today Conan so go ahead and pick out a candy."
Conan smiled warmly and jumped down from a waiting room chair., "Ooh they got Skittles!."
Rachel laughed but her smile turned into a mixed feeling smile., "Jimmy loved Skittles."
"And Ill always will." ,thought Conan. Conan took Rachel by the hand with a firm grip and led her out of the store.
"Well Conan" ,sighed Rachel, "Dad will be out of town for a month."
"Wow is he on a hard case like Jimmy?" ,replied Conan chewing on an orange skittle.
"Y-yeah." ,sighed Rachel looking suddenly sad. Her eyes began to water.
Conan frowned feeling guilty for saying that., "Rachel don't cry he'll be back you said so yourself!" "Your right Conan he will come back I know it." ,whispered Rachel her eyes gleaming with high hopes of his safe return.
"Come on Rachel, let's go home." ,sighed Conan shivering, "It's getting to cold for me out here."
Rachel smile, "Conan I don't know what it would be like without you around....." Conan lightly blushed from the praise., "Do you mean that?" Rachel leaned down to Conan's height and gave him a hug., "You're a good friend Conan you're always there when I'm upset."
They entered the house and shutout the cold air quickly. Conan slipped off his super powered shoes that let him kick as hard as when he was seventeen. Rachel walked into the kitchen and began making hot coco. Conan laid on the couch and yawned. He had stayed up all night thinking of thinks he could tell Rachel when he called her as Jimmy Kudo.
"It's so hard to lie to you Rachel." ,thought Conan, "but, it's for the best you don't know...."
"Conan, come get your hot coco." ,Rachel called out from the kitchen.
"Coming" ,answered Conan walking into the kitchen.
Rachel turned around and saw Conan looking at the chipped kitchen tile floor. "Conan what's wrong?"
"Rachel I-I'm sorry" "For what Conan you did nothing wrong....." "You don't understand I did" "What?" "Well it just seems that sometimes what I say makes you hurt and miss him more" Rachel looked away., "Conan if anything you make me strong and determined." "Thanks Rachel", replied Conan sitting at the dining room table with his drink.
Rachel sighed, "Its times like these I wish I was at the beach....." "Just watch "Jaws" it will make you glad you stayed home." ,suggested Conan. Rachel laughed, "Your funny Conan." Conan smiled happy to make her laugh. Rachel looked at the clock., "Yikes Conan it's almost eleven." She stood up from the couch, "time for bed."
Conan groaned when he was seventeen he could have went to bed at noon. "O.K Rachel goodnight" They walked up the stairs and went to there rooms. Conan yawned he was tired. He knew that he would have a month off from case solving since Richard, Rachel's Dad was his only ticket
"A vacation from it all will be nice", sighed Conan, "Christmas is almost here what should I get Rachel?"
He shook his head, "Ill think about it tomorrow."
He took his glasses off and fell asleep.
