So Close

Shinichi returned back to his residence after wandering around the streets of Beika rejoicing his return. Hearing his grumbling stomach, he headed straightly to the refrigerator.

"Oh no, there's no food." He heard the sound of his belly growling once again as a reply to his voice.

Finally, he made his decision to go to Hakase's house.

"I hope they have something edible to be eaten." he thought loudly.

"And yes, Haibara you'll pay what you did."

He rang the bell to hear—

"No, I'm the winner. Genta-kun, you're cheating!"

Clearly, it was the little Detective Boys playing at Hakase's house.

He entered the house silently, "Isn't that Kudou Shinichi; the famous detective and Ran-neechan's childhood friend?" Mitsuhiku declared, apparently amused by his deduction skills.

"Yeah! And he has a ghost house." Genta added.

"Is that true?" Ayumi exclaimed as she was trembling at the thought.

"Oi..oi. It's not a ghost house, kids." he searched for Haibara with his eyes between them.

Shinichi stepped down to see the children.

"Do you know where Haibara-san is?" he asked, hoping to get a straight answer from their mouths once.

The Detective boys exchanged looks in puzzlement.

"How did you know Ai-chan?" Ayumi asked.

"And why are you calling her Haibara-san? You're older than her, aren't you?" Mitsuhiku was confused.

Shinichi was perplexed by their consecutive questions, "I—Well, thanks kids. It was nice to meet you. Talk to you later!"

He left them, and went to Hakase while the kids started exchanging whispers as though he won't see them.

Man, they won't change.

"Shinichi, how are you?"

"Fine,"

"How was your day?"

"Not that bad." he replied, remembering Haibara's little prank.

"Can you look for Ai-chan for me? Dinner is ready."

"I was about to ask you about her—"

"..Fine, I'll look for her." he completed.

Shinichi went down to the basement where she used to spend most of her time before finishing the antidote. However, she wasn't there.

"Where is she?" he thought reaching for her room

He knocked the door twice

No Answer.

"Haibara," he called her, then opened the door slowly.

No one was there, either.

Shinichi started getting anxious. He decided to check on the roof of the house.

"But she couldn't—" He cut his word with a smile as he saw her back. Ai was standing on the edge, enjoying the scenery of the pure night sky and the glittering stars upon her. The wind blew her strawberry blonde hair, and the light of the moon reflected on it giving it a beautiful aspect.

Shinichi couldn't help but admire her beautiful peaceful figure whenever it was devoid of her everlasting sarcasm. Somehow, he had forgotten all his anger when he saw her.

It seemed like she didn't notice his presence.

He placed his hand on her shoulders.

"Haib—" Shinichi cut off his words as he saw Ai stunned by the precipitous panic losing her balance. She slipped off the edge all of a sudden.

Ai closed her eyes, waiting for the coming pain when she felt a hand held hers strongly and dragged her strongly.

She was being carried close to someone. Ai then opened her eyes to find Shinichi's face a few centimeters away from hers.

"Are you okay?" Shinichi asked in concern.

"I'm sorry for scaring you." he continued.

Ai's face flushed deeply, feeling Shinichi's breath flaming on her face.

"I-I'm okay." She stuttered, trying to control her rising heartbeats.

"Do you have a fever or something?" he asked, placing his forehead on hers checking her temperature.

"Ye—No, I'm just fine."

Shinichi placed her on the ground gently, and smiled.

"Dinner is ready." He said, pulling her with him downwards.

To Be Continued...

Thank you all for the support. I hope that I'm improving.
I can't express how much I wish Ai would end up with Conan, but what can we say? It's just my wish.
