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]

"Haru-san, Jonah-san, we hired a new waiter," Azusa informed.

"Hello," The man greeted. "I'm Amuro Tooru,"

'Shit, it's Bourbon,' Jonah recognized the agent. 'I need to be extra careful around him, especially since he managed to deduce Akai's fake death plan,'

"I'm Field Haru," Haru shook his new coworker's hand.

Amuro turned to Jonah. 'Judging by that facial structure, he's Cognac. But Cognac was captured by the FBI after that stunt Vermouth pulled. Gin and the others saw him at Tokyo Tower and, deeming it too dangerous to keep him alive due to there being no escape routes, attempted to kill him. Somehow Cognac managed to survive jumping off from the uppermost floor and took down the helicopter. The boss hasn't officially declared him a traitor,'

"I'm Gubat Jonah," Jonah wrapped an arm around Haru's waist and pulled him close. "I better not catch you flirting with my boyfriend,"

Now that caught Amuro off guard. "I have no intention of stealing your boyfriend," 'Is he really Cognac? Perhaps it's just a look alike? Cognac cares for no one except himself. He even sacrificed some of his own teammates when on field missions, caring only about the success of the mission,'

"Haru-san! Jonah-san!" A group of teenage boys and girls entered the café.

"Oh hey girls and guys," Jonah greeted without any malice.

"Oh? Who's the new guy?" One of the girls gasped. "Oh no, is it a love rival?"

"Love rival?" Amuro questioned. "I'm not interested in either of them. I was just recently hired,"

"They're not going to listen to you, Amuro-san," Azusa told him. "They're a group of teens that ship Haru-san and Jonah-san. They've even created doujinshi about them,"

"Are they really that popular of a couple?" Amuro sweat-dropped. 'It's hard to imagine Cognac purposely drawing attention to himself like that,'

"Yes," Azusa nodded. "The café master is fine with them dating as long as they keep their PDA under control,"

"Amuro-san, why are you here?" Ran asked when she, her father, and Conan had arrived to eat a meal at Café Poirot.

"He was hired yesterday," Haru answered.

"Mouri-san, I would like for you to take me on as your student!" Amuro requested.

"What!?" Kogoro exclaimed. "You want to become my disciple!?"

"Yes, of course!" Amuro answered. "After hearing your brilliant deduction the other day, I became painfully aware of my own inexperience. So I thought I'd start over from the beginning. I decided to take a part time job here in order to be by your side and possibly be allowed to accompany you to any cases you are involved with,"

"Yeah but as a rule I don't take disciples," Kogoro declined.

"Of course I'm prepared to pay tuition for each case," Amuro whispered a number in Kogoro's ear.

Kogoro's eyes turned into yen signs. "A-Are you serious!? Of course you can become my student! You can call me sensei, Amuro-kun!"

"Yes, Mouri-sensei!" Amuro saluted.

'Another pain in the neck,' Conan thought as he sipped his juice.

"So…you're also a detective?" Haru asked as if he didn't know that information already.

"Yes, I'm a private investigator," Amuro replied. "Though on my most recent case, I ended up coming to the wrong conclusion. Thankfully Mouri-sensei was there to reveal the truth about the case and prevent an innocent man from being imprisoned,"

Azusa had gone to celebrate her elder brother getting first place at a clay pigeon shooting tournament. Haru had left to attend college earlier that day after his morning shift had ended. It was only Jonah and Amuro. Jonah casually hummed a tune as he cleaned up the café, preparing to close it up for the day. Amuro watched his every move. 'I can't just confront him about being Cognac. There is still a high possibility that I'm mistaken. I saw on the news the Queen and Prince of Vespania who are identical to Ran-san and Haru-san, meaning that this could just be Cognac's doppelganger,'

"So," Amuro decided to strike up a conversation. "Where do you live?"

Jonah paused and turned to him. "Why the hell would I tell a guy I just recently met where I live?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry," Amuro apologized. "It just seems like you're not fond of me so I thought if we got to know each other more, you wouldn't dislike me as much,"

"And the first question was to ask where I live?" Jonah growled.

"How about I tell you about myself first?" Amuro suggested. "I like mysteries and tennis. My favorite alcoholic drink is bourbon," 'No reaction to my codename?'

'Tch, he's annoying,' Jonah rolled his eyes. "I like my boyfriend and our kids. I don't really care about alcoholic drinks. If it's cheap and tastes fine, then it's good enough for me. Happy now? I still don't like you,"

"Why don't you like me?" Amuro asked.

"Because you're obviously trying to steal Haru from me!" Jonah snapped, quickly finishing his part of the job before leaving.

'Is it possible for someone like Cognac to act like that?' Amuro pondered. 'There's the possibility that he's just pretending in order to maintain his cover. I've heard that love changes people, but can it change someone like Cognac, who's known for his brutal torturing methods?'

"Jonah, is something wrong?" Haru asked during dinner.

"I'm fine," Jonah mumbled through a mouth full of mashed potatoes.

"You're obviously not fine," Haru frowned. "Is it because of Bourbon? You can quit the café if he's bothering you,"

"That's not it," Jonah shoved another spoonful of mashed potatoes into his mouth.

"Are you perhaps jealous of Bourbon?" Subaru spoke up. 'His body language is confirming my suspicions,'

"Why would you be jealous of him?" Haru questioned.

"Because…" Jonah hesitated. "Because he's better than me. I know that he's smarter and stronger. He's been deceiving the organization for all these years. I'm nothing compared to him,"

"You're afraid that Mitsuharu's going to fall out of love with you and in love with Bourbon," Subaru deduced.

Jonah flinched. "Maybe…"

Subaru sighed. "I've felt that way before. Every single day I'm worried that Akemi will leave me, worried that she'll find someone else. I'm worried that she still resents me for using her to get close to Sherry and will eventually leave me," 'That if she leaves me, she'll take Michael with her and I'll never see either of them again…'

"Baring your heart to me, Akai?" Jonah chuckled slightly. "I thought you didn't want me to be with Haru?"

"As much as I want to tear your guts out and shove it down your throat, lock you up in a basement, and torture you for eternity," Subaru said. "I can tell that you genuinely love Haru and he loves you back. You both share also share an experience, dimensional traveling, that nobody else has been through," He grabbed Jonah by his throat with just enough strength to not leave marks. "But if you ever harm Mitsuharu, you'll be suffering worse than what the people you tortured went through!"

"I think they forgot that we're also here," Haru whispered to Cora and Bepo.

Jonah finally got Akai's approval!
