Mitsuharu
Title: Mitsuharu
Rating: T
Fandom: Detective Conan
Summary: There were only three kids of the Akai Family, right? There was no way that Masumi had a third older brother. So why the hell were these people calling him Akai Mitsuharu? More importantly, how the hell was he even alive!? [OC Insert as Akai Sibling]
Jonah was laying on the couch, lightly dozing with his head on Haru's lap. Haru gently ran his fingers through his boyfriend's hair. "I wanted to be the one to deal with Irish, but he chose to fight in my place,"
"If you knew that Irish was up there, why did the two of you go to Touto Tower?" Subaru inquired. 'Their expressions are the same ones that Akemi and I shared whenever I got injured. They really do love each other,'
"Because if we didn't, then Irish would've beaten Ran up and Conan would've been the one to jump off the top floor," Haru answered. "At least that's how the canon version of the Raven Chaser played out,"
"Canon version of the Raven Chaser?" Subaru raised a brow. 'Does he think that this is some kind of anime? I've heard Haru use that term before,'
"You asked how I knew that the crows were coming," Haru took a deep breath. "The truth is that I've been keeping a secret ever since I became Akai Mitsuharu. For the past nineteen years, I've been hiding the fact that I know some future events,"
'Know some future events?' Subaru decided that it would be better for him to sit down rather than stand. "Your first word was Silver Bullet, directed at me. It turned out to be my nickname in the FBI. The same goes for Pierrot when Kudo Shinichi-kun made a wrong deduction about me. You also knew that the crows were the enemies,"
"I'm from another world," Haru confessed. "In my world, I was just your average otaku. My house caught on fire and killed my parents. I rushed in and before I died, I wished to be reborn into another world. I expected to die and I did, but I managed to open my eyes once again. The difference was that I was a baby that was given the name Akai Mitsuharu,"
"Did Jonah tell you to say this?" Subaru asked. 'I swear if they are both on drugs—'
"I'm not making this up," Haru shook his head. "He just said that I'll eventually have to tell you the truth. Just like Shin-kun's catchphrase, one truth will prevail," 'Will he just think I'm on drugs like how he reacted to Jonah?'
'He's not lying,' Subaru noted. 'I can tell that he's being honest. He's…he's from another world,' "What have you been doing with this knowledge?"
"I tried to change some events," Haru claimed. "That's why I befriended Shin-kun and Ran. That's why I stayed in Japan rather than moving to England with Masumi and Mary. I…" Tears started to fall. "I tried to stop Tsutomu…I told him not to go to the US to investigate Kohji's death. He just brushed me off and said that it'll be fine. I should've tried harder!"
"You don't have to try by yourself anymore," Jonah sat up. "You're only one person. Now that I'm not part of the organization anymore, I'll lift some of that burden,"
"I couldn't save Dad or Kohji!" Haru argued. "I can't save anyone!"
"In the canon timeline, Miyano Akemi made a deal with Gin that if she completed a billion yen heist, then she and Sherry would be able to leave the organization," Jonah reminded. "Akemi completed the task but Gin didn't keep his end of the bargain; he shot her in the stomach and she died right in front of Conan's eyes,"
Subaru's eyes were wide with shock. "Akemi…died?" He couldn't imagine himself in a world where Akemi was killed and, by the words that it was a deal only for her and Sherry to escape, assumed that Michael didn't exist. It was a terrifying scenario.
"Yes," Jonah nodded. "And the two of you didn't have a son. She was never pregnant. I have no idea how Haru's presence led to the two of you making a baby, but it somehow happened," He put his hands to Haru's shoulders. "You can't save everyone. What matters is that you actually tried to save people. You could've left Akemi to die, but you didn't. You also told me yourself that you prevented Asoh Seiji's suicide,"
"It's because of me that the FBI Agent that replaced Akemi was killed!" Haru pointed out. "Her blood is on my hands!"
"Mitsuharu, you aren't the only one with blood on your hands here," Subaru turned off his voice changer to use his real voice. "While I was infiltrating the organization, I had to kill many people," He walked over to his brother and shoved Jonah away. He then brought Haru into a comforting hug. "It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself,"
'That bastard separated me from Haru!' Jonah glared at Subaru. 'As much as I want to punch him right now, I should focus on continuing to comfort my boyfriend. Heh, I never thought that I'd ever be calling someone my boyfriend,'
"You said that you were also from another world," Subaru looked to Jonah. "You were telling the truth, weren't you?"
"I told you that I'm not on drugs," Jonah stuck his tongue out.
"Haru already told us his story," Subaru said. "What's yours?"
"Chewy, how long are you going to hug me for?" Haru interrupted. "Also, I already heard Jonah's story. It's sad and I don't want him to have to relive those memories again,"
"It's fine," Jonah reassured him. "I don't mind telling my brother-in-law about my past,"
Subaru's eye twitched. 'You son of a bitch!'
Jonah's expression changed when he started to retell his previous life. "My little sister and I were abandoned by our mother and lived with our abusive father. We'd get beaten up every single ****ing day, whether he was drunk or sober. A fire erupted in our house during one of his beatings but I was too injured to flee. I died and was reborn into another abusive family before being taken in by the organization,"
Subaru didn't know how to react. 'I still do can't comprehend how a parent can harm their own child. Well, Mom did fight me but I was already an adult. For a parent to harm them when they are young and helpless…it makes my blood boil!' In an awkward attempt to comfort him, he brought Jonah into the hug.
"Hey," Jonah smirked smugly. "Haru didn't deny the brother-in-law part,"
Jonah was ejected from the hug.
So Akaiya Shuubaru now knows.
