Chapter four

Bliss


Shinichi quietly entered the room and carefully closed the door behind him. Walking across his room and over to the bed, where she slept peacefully, he came to a halt in front of it, watching her.

She was sleeping on her side, with her back turned to him, her hair was spread across the pillow, haloing her, and she had another pillow tightly pressed to her chest.

All in one she looked absolutely beautiful! He moved a hand up and gently stroked her messy hair together. After he was satisfied with his work and after simply continuing watching her sleep, he weight the ups and downs of climbing into his bed after her.

Soon he had made his mind up. He decided he would gladly take the risk of getting hit if only he could get to touch her, to be near her, to hold her close like before, again.

So he carefully pulled one corner of the blanket up and climbed in. He lay still, flat on his back next to her, not daring moving or touching her.

Suddenly he got shy. There he was now, in the same bed as that one special person he cared for the most in the world, the one he would give everything for to protect. Well, there he was and he didnt know what to do. He was unsure if it was ok to go any nearer. After all, he didnt want to abuse her and take away the opportunity for her to say no.

Debating with himself he suddenly got aware of her heartbeat and breathing.

After he had climbed into bed, her heartbeat and her breathing both had increased the tiniest bit and now, after all he IS a detective, he was sure she was not sleeping.

'So it would not be bad to try to get nearer to her because she had the chance to say no.'

He turned to his right, now facing her back and moved to lay on his right arm, holding himself up with his elbow. With his other arm he stoked her hair a little, slid nearer her, the front of his knees were at the back of hers. His left arm slipped under the cover and moved around her waist, holding her close to him and nestled loosely on her stomach. Her own left arm moved over his as she held him back, twining their fingers lovingly.

All his weight was supported on his right arm, which was trapped underneath him quite uncomfortably, but somehow she seemed to sense it for she pulled her head up a little to give him the opportunity to move his arm under her head. Of course he took the invitation with a smile and after his arm was placed correctly, her head came down again and rested on his arm.

She snuggled a leg between his and lay her other on top of their twined ones. Now this was a comfortable position and his head snuggled next to hers, brushing lovingly against her own and coming to a rest on her shoulder. She rubbed her cheek against his and he returned the gesture with a light blush and a smile.

They lay like that for a while, immensely enjoying each others company, until he broke the silence with a quiet whisper.

"Professor said hi to you!"

"Thanks. What did he want?"

'Except the sex enlightenment, you mean?' he thought sarcastically with a smirk, considering telling her but decided against it.

"Oh nothing special. Wanted to see how I am, you know, make sure I am alright. Thats all!"

"Oh, I see. Make sure youre alright makes sense, if thats what you want to call running around the garden like possessed and screaming crazy things about you know what!"

He blushed a deep red.

"You..you…could.."

"I bet the whole street could hear you two," she giggled, finding it very funny how fast her usually so strong detective could turn into a tomato.

"You .. you know its not what it sounds like..he..he meant.."

"Its ok, I understand," she held his arm on her front tighter.

"And what about you? Couldnt sleep?"

"No, not really.."

"I am sor-"

"No, its not because of that. I am just.. exited.."

"So so, exited huh?" he started teasing her.

"Shinichi?"

"Yes?"

"Why did you come to school yesterday?"

"Wha…W-well, didnt want to miss your big day, did I?"

"But you really surprised me. I would never have guessed that you were the knight."

"So?"

"Yeah! And you were really brave."

"Why is that?"

"I dont think I would have done it if I were you. You didnt know the lines but you were brave enough to go on stage. Since you didnt follow the script the play was all messed up."

"Oh?" - 'but I DID follo- hey- wait a moment! SONOKO!! This stupid chicken has told me what to do:

Sonoko: "Listen, the knight suddenly embraces the princess and kisses her. You cant talk or itll be messed up."

'That filthy little…. I should have known better than to trust her. Oh, next time I see her, I swear I will…'

"Shinichi?"

"Hm?"

"A-and.. I mean.. then… what did you think?"

"You mean on stage? Well, we did stop in the middle of the play.."

Blushing she said : "No, baka, I mean of the princess... a-actually you dont have to s.."

"Oh! Well, you looked really beautiful in that outfit!"

"R-really?"

"Yeah!"

"Thank you."

After a little phase of silence in which both didnt know what to say she started again.

"I am glad you came though."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. So glad.."

"I am glad too."

She thought about teasing him but didnt want to spoil the moment. And she really didnt feel like it, so she remained quiet with a very content little smile on her face. They lay like that for a long time, enjoying the position they were in. Here and then he would slide a little closer to her, wanting to feel her whole and she would move against him in order to get closer, too, or he would nuzzle his head on her neck, making her giggle and him smile. Right now it was just them as they lay quietly in his room.

Suddenly he felt her vibrate a little and realized that she was humming softly to herself. He found it very sweet and recognized it as a sign that she was happy and that made him happy. Even more than he already was.

Even though he definitely IS tone dead, he recognized the song she was humming immediately and slowly rose his head a little bit from his comfortable position on the joining of her shoulder and neck, and started quietly chanting the first lines of the song into her ear, in time with the rhythm she was still summing. His words were making her smile warmly, knowing the truth behind them, as if made only for those two.

How could I put it,

So that Id be able to tell you?

Ever since then, countless seasons

Have passed us by

But you are smiling by my side

It was a somewhat funny mix of quiet talking and silent singing but he knew he was not the best singer and he preferred it that way, thinking it might be less harming and wouldnt spoil the mood.

Ran continued smiling at his choice of words and action, thinking it was very sweet how he tried to sing for her. It actually was not that bad at all and she really enjoyed it. He didnt sing loud and strong which is destroying if you cant sing even with your life depending on it, but quiet and loving, with all his heart in it and that made his voice sound to her like a message of angels.

Maybe it was because she was hearing him with the ears of love?! But maybe she only had a bad taste? Or maybe, and most likely, it was because his breath was playing across her ear and neck, driving her crazy for it felt so good it send shivers up and down her skin….

She started singing quietly along with him and smiled as she felt his smile at her reaction.

Theres still one thing left I cant say

The secret of my heart, I dont doubt you at all

So long as we always have a bit of a future

I should be able to make it reality

I can't say, just a little longer, I'm waiting for a chance

Such quiet times

I want to be more connected to you

They were holding each other closer, their entwined hands were gently held to her front and the couple quietly resumed singing the love song.

I was just afraid of showing you everything

Walking slightly apart

For some reason, looking at your form from the side

you seem about to crumble,

and I want to protect, and be closer to you

As if needing to make the point clearer, Shinichi tightened his hold on her a little bit, wrapping her in a protective embrace. She only smiled at his action but returned the gesture.

The Secret of my heart, you'll understand, won't you?

Everyone has times when they want to run away

But if we do that, nothing gets started

I can't say, I know I'm calling for a chance

Can I tell the truth?

I just keep going round and round, unable to say that

Feeling in my heart

I can't hide it any more, 'cause I love you

I will be with you, wherever you are,

can you feel my heart?

They rubbed their cheeks against each others lovingly, absolutely unconscious of their actions. It was as if the spell of the song took over their actions

Can't you see, you're my dream, I don't wanna lose

Those precious times I spent with you

If you're about to give up, trust me

I just wanna say, I won't hesitate any longer

Can't you see, you're my heart, anything artificial

Will someday be easily destroyed

But we still won't ever change

The secret of my heart, our future is forever.

The secret of my heart

The secret of my heart

The secret of my heart

Our future is forever

They stopped singing and remained unmoving in their current position, cheek on cheek, hugging each other closely and twined hands held each other on her front. In the end of the song they practically sang for the other and felt really close. It was as intimate together as they have ever been with each other or with any other for that matter.

Their heads turned a little, so that not only their cheeks were touching but also the corner of their lips. Soon they had turned their heads the tiniest bit more and before they really thought about what they where doing, caught each others lips in a brief kiss. They pulled away quickly and looked at each other, both were blushing madly now and unsure of what to say or do.

Looking really confused and uncertain, they remained in the current position, hoping that one of them got a clue of what should happen next. After a while he simply smiled at her, and after she smiled, to his big relief, back at him, he lay his head back on the spot on her shoulder and hugged her close to him from behind again, since it felt only too right, sighing contently. Ran smiled at his action and also snuggled back to him, imitating their former position and as she was comfortable, she sighed as well.

After some time he just had to speak up, make things clear before he lost courage.

"Ran.. about that, I…"

No reaction came and he raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look at her. She was smiling but had her eyes closed and he soon discovered her asleep.

He couldnt blame her for being tired. After all, the precious week had been a troubled one for her. First he was in hospital, almost dead and she had given him lots of her blood, and as Uncle Kogoro had told him she never went away from his side while he was the hospital. He didnt think she had had much sleep. Then, after that there was that thing with the school play and she had been really exited about that already days before it and couldnt sleep much either. And yesterday, as she found out he had come back, he really really doubted that she had slept much either.

He could say for sure that Ran didnt sleep lots last night and that only by looking at her. Not because she looked bad, would never dare to claim that, but because he knew her just too well. He knew that she would always put the pain of others above her own and him returning is something that moved her deeply, for sure, and he knew it very well. Not to mention that his detective eyes had seen her eyes as she came to pick him up and he could tell by the look in them, that she hadnt slept much, that she had been crying and that she is tired and needs rest, by the first look. Thats why, after all, he had let her sleep for as long as she wanted.

But Shinichi didnt feel much better himself. The transformation had cost him lots of energy even though he would never admit it and the amazing and comfortable feeling of her in his arms, feeling her whole body against his, was simply too pleasant as though he even would think of fighting the overcoming sleep.
