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 hated it. He hated how he had to torture and sometimes murder people once more. He hated how he was almost always under the constant watch of the organization. He hated how he had to keep the Cognac façade up. He had no freedom. He was just a shark trapped in an aquarium tank, yearning to return to the ocean.

Jonah missed Haru. He missed his warmth, his presence, and his loving words. He missed his smile and his cooking. He missed making VidTube videos together and reading the comments. Hell, he even missed Haru's overprotective older brother! He would take being in a room with Akai Shuichi trying to murder him any day over being constantly under surveillance in the crows' nest.

Haru did his best to continue on with life as if everything were normal. Subaru was out doing who knows what so he had asked Haru if he could bring Bepo to the vet for his shots. Cora had decided to tag along. Once they reached the vet, Haru filled out the form for Bepo as they sat down in the waiting room. The Samoyed laid in Haru's lap while the snow furred cat sat on Haru's shoulder.

"I'd like to get some vaccinations done,"

'That voice sounds familiar,' Haru looked in the direction and recognized the source of the voice. 'Bourbon!?'

"Please fill out this medical questionnaire," The receptionist requested, giving him a form.

Cora sniffed the air. "This scent…it's my human's coworker!"

"Hi!" The energetic Hokkaido breed dog that was in Amuro's arms squirmed and happily jump in front of Haru, Cora, and Bepo.

"Hello," Bepo greeted back.

"What is this place?" The dog asked. "It smells so weird and there's lots of other dogs and cats,"

"Hey, you can't go running off like that," Amuro scolded and he picked the dog back up.

"I'm surprised to see you here Amuro-san," Haru greeted. "I didn't know that you had a dog," 'I believe you got one in Zero's Tea Time, the spin off series. I actually enjoyed that manga. Now I'm interested in a spinoff for other characters like Gin. Heh, that's a funny thought. Gin's Tea Time,'

"I just recently started caring for him," Amuro replied as he decided to take a seat beside his coworker. He looked down at the form to fill out. "Name…"

"Odaka Chocolate-san, come in!"

"Honda Marron-san, come in!"

"What's wrong?" Haru noted that Amuro wasn't filling out the form. "Wait, you didn't even give him a name yet? Seriously, we gave Taii a name and he's a stray,"

Amuro chuckled, slightly embarrassed. "Do you have any name suggestions?"

'What was the name he had in Zero's Tea Time?' Haru thought for a moment. "Haro?"

Amuro gave him an unamused look. "Are you trying to get me to name my dog after you?"

"Okiya Bepo-san, come in!"

"Oh look at that," Haru quickly stood up. "Come on Bepo, Cora, let's not keep the doctor waiting!"

"He didn't deny it," Amuro mused as the three entered the exam room.

Bepo was calm when he received his vaccination shot. He was given a treat for his good behavior. Right after Bepo's appointment was Haro's. As they were passing by each other, Haro panicked at the sight of a needle and tried to run away. He chaotically ran down the hallway. However, Cora was standing in between him and the waiting room.

"I don't like needles!" Haro shouted. "They're sharp and pointy and scary!"

Cora managed to jump onto Haro and dragged him to the waiting room where the doctor was waiting. It was quite a comedic sight, a cat treating the dog like a misbehaving kitten. "Good job Cora," The veterinarian, Tobe, praised, giving her a cat treat.

"I think she was influenced by Jonah," Haru whispered to Amuro as the Hokkaido breed dog got vaccinated.

It was a pretty slow day for Café Poirot. There had only been a handful of the usual customers. Azusa wasn't working that day so it was only Haru and Amuro. The door chimed as it opened. 'The fragrant smell of crushed coffee beans, pleasant background music, comfortable controlled temperature and humidity…' Andre Camel thought as he entered. 'A little old, but well-maintained furniture…It's perfect. Having taken just one step into this café, I know this is the right one,'

"Welcome," Amuro greeted before Haru could. "Did you come by car?"

"Yes, I parked it nearby—eh!?" Camel exclaimed at the sight of who the waiter was.

"May I have your order?" Amuro asked coldly. "Your order, please!"

"Ah! I'll decide now!" Camel started flipping through the menu.

"If you don't intend on ordering something, why don't you just hurry up and get out of here?" Amuro snapped. "Out of Café Poirot!"

"That's no way to talk to customers!" Haru scolded. "Sorry about that sir. Please take your time," He dragged Amuro to the side. "Be nice. Are you trying to get yourself fired? Listen Amuro-san, I don't want you to bring your personal problems with the customer into your work life. Also, if we provide good service he might give us a big tip! Do it for the money, Amuro!"

"Yeah…" Amuro sweat dropped at Haru's reasoning. 'Well, he is a waiter while also a college student. College isn't cheap,'

Camel ordered an American coffee and Haru prepared it. "What a delicious coffee!" Camel commented after taking a sip. "The richness and sourness works well,"

"I'm glad you like it," Haru smiled.

"I was a little surprised when I came here to find out that a lightly roasted, so-called regular coffee is specifically known as American coffee in Japan. It's as though they named it to imitate our American way of drinking coffee,"

"Yeah but not all Americans drink it that way," Haru reminded. "I know someone who drinks straight black coffee," He shivered at the memory of trying the canned coffee.

'Haru-kun still hasn't forgotten about that time,' Camel thought, noticing Haru's shivering. 'He must really hate black coffee now,'

"Haru-san, can you go to the store to buy some milk?" Amuro requested. "It looks like we're just about out,"

"Sure," Haru agreed.

By the time Haru returned, Camel was already gone. The streets were flooded with people crowding for the fireworks festival.

Zero's Tea Time is canon to the Detective Conan storyline. Amuro does own a Hokkaido breed dog named Haro that he encountered in the streets. Camel did visit Café Poirot and Amuro was his waiter.

Tobe is a canon veterinarian. He appears in Episode 474/Chapters 574-575.
