A/N: So, here's chapter 4. I combined it with chapter 5 to make it better. This chapter is a little bit fluffy, so I am warning you now. Hehehehehe...

Disclaimer I don't own Detective Conan, but if I did I would have the rights to Shinichi ((fangirlism takes over)) WHEEEE!

ooooooooo

"Ran, do you want something to drink?"

"Do you have coffee?"

"Yeah, let me go make it." Shinichi went off to the kitchen. Ran sat there, completely nervous. After a few minutes he returned with two cups of coffee. He handed one to her, and sat down on his couch. Ran sat next to him in a chair.

"Ran, I need to tell you something." In her excitement, Ran spilled her coffee all over the table.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! Let me clean that up for you!" she cried. She grabbed some napkins and began cleaning up the mess. She wiped up the last few drops, and was about to sit back down. Instead, Shinichi embraced her as the napkin fell slowly to the ground. Then he pushed her back, grasping her shoulders, and told her,

"Ran, I love you. I've been trying to tell you for such a long time. And I've always been there. It was so hard seeing you every day, not being able to tell you where I was, seeing you cry... Remember when I told you I didn't like to see you cry? And I couldn't stop it when you did!"

"What?"

"Ran, I love you!"

"Shinichi?"

Shinichi was looking down, embarrassed. "What?"

"Shinichi, I...I love you too."

Once again he wrapped her in a tight embrace. She cried silently on his shoulder, trembling.

"Ran, please don't cry."

He tilted her chin up, and they kissed. She slid her arms around and stopped him long enough to pull his jacket off. In return, he slid his arms tighter around her waist. After an eternity, they stopped. Shinichi looked at his watch.

"Ran, it's past 1:00. Do you want to stay over tonight?"

"I don't want to leave, so..."

"Okay. I'm going to go change."

"Yeah..."

Shinichi went upstairs and Ran followed. After she found the guestroom and one of Yukiko's bathrobes, she went to go look for Shinichi. He had left his door open and was just putting on his pajama shirt. He saw her and dropped it. She smiled at him, and kissed him once more. God, he's so warm, Ran thought. They let go and Shinichi finished putting his shirt on.

"Good night, Ran," he whispered.

"Good night, Shinichi," she replied. She walked out and turned off the hallway light. Falling onto the guest bed, she laid awake for a little while and then drifted off. Shinichi stayed awake a while longer, but eventually fell asleep also. He had an idea.

ooooooooo

In the morning, Shinichi took Ran back to her house and kissed her goodbye.

"There's something important that I need to do today, but I want to see you tomorrow. Can I pick you up at 5:00?" he asked.

"All right. I'll see you then!" Ran smiled and walked into the house. Kogoro was still asleep, and probably didn't miss her all night. She put her dress away in the closet, and hummed to herself. Everything was happening very quickly, but since she had been trying to tell Shinichi her feelings, she was so relieved that she was finally able to. And she wondered what he was doing that was so important.

Ran got up early the next day. She drove herself crazy worrying about what Shinichi had to tell her. After a few hours of this, Shinichi rang the doorbell. Ran opened the door and he stepped in.

"Hi," Ran said.

"Hi, Ran. You look really nice today."

"Thanks."

"Ran, who's at the door?" Kogoro yelled.

"Um, it's just Shinichi, Dad!"

"WHAT? KUDO?" Kogoro yelled even louder.

"Hello, Mouri-san," Shinichi said. "How are you this afternoon?"

"Well," said Kogoro as he stepped to the door, "ok. But why are you here? To rob me of another case?"

"Dad!" Ran sounded very exasperated.

"Actually, I'm here to take your daughter out."

Kogoro's facial expression changed from one of slight annoyance to deep thought. After an awkward silence, something changed in his eyes, as if he had given something up.

"Well, you better bring her home in one piece."

"Thank you, sir," Shinichi said.

"Ran?" Kogoro asked.

"Yeah, Dad?"

"...Just don't do anything I wouldn't do. Have a good time. But I'm still expecting a good dinner!"

"Okay, bye!"

Shinichi walked out and waited for Ran. He looked down at his shoes and held out his hand. Ran grabbed it, and they went on their way.

oooooooooo
