Disclaimer: The usual... I Do Not Own Detective Conan / Case Closed.

(Shiho's POV)

This day ended differently from any other one. When we were dismissed and I and Shinichi were walking down the hall to our lockers, I swear I could see death glares being thrown to me and Shinichi. 'So Shinichi is this popular with the girls huh?' I thought to myself and smirked. All girls were throwing the best death glare they could manage and the guys to Shinichi. I could tell that with this he was nervous.

"Oi, Shiho! What did you do to these guys? Yesterday it was all fine and now they glare at me like there is no tomorrow! Are you really that pretty?" He whispered to me, leaning to my ear, and saying the last sentence in a joking tone.

"Look who's talking. Can't you see the girls glaring at me like they want to jump on me and kill me for taking you as a date on the prom? Women are more dangerous when they get angry and jealous than men you know." I said in a matter of fact tone.

We reached our lockers and got our stuffs and went out the campus. We were walking on the sidewalk silently until Shinichi talked,

"Oi Shiho."

"What?"

"When are you planning to buy your outfit for Monday?" he asked looking at me.

"Are you really serious about this Kudo?" I said looking at him to meet his eyes.

"Of course I am!" he shouted.

"Okay, okay. You don't have to destroy my eardrums. I am going to do that on… I don't know, how about you?"

"Tomorrow, 10 am sharp, okay?"

"What okay?"

"You and I are going to buy our clothes tomorrow 10 am sharp."

"And what made you so sure that I would go with you?"

""It's because it's gonna be all on me." He said grinning.

I smirked to myself and said, "Fair enough. And to make sure that it's all on you and I won't spend a single thing I would leave my purse at Hakase's."

"Sure! Go ahead!"

I just smirked and realized that we reached his house.

"You're here tantei-san." I pointed out.

"Yeah, wait for me here Shiho. I'll just go get something." Without waiting for my reply, he dashed into his house.

After a few minutes he reappeared already clothes changed with a small bag over his shoulders. "And where are you going Ku-Shinichi?"

"I am going to sleep at Hakase's to make sure you wake up in time and you don't sleep late for some kind of research again. And besides Hakase left this morning right? So I will stay with you tonight!" he exclaimed.

"Seriously, what is happening to you Kudo? First the prom, then the buying of the outfit, and now this? Sleeping in Hakase's house because you don't want me to stay awake all night doing some research? Are you feeling okay?" I asked him in a curious tone.

"Why? Is it bad to be worried about a girl that is my best friend?" he said grinning at me. Before I could reply he held my arm and dragged me to Hakase's house while saying, "Now, let's go! You're still gonna cook dinner for the both of us! Unless you want me to cook and end up having a burnt house."

"You forgot to ask me if I wanted to die because of eating something not edible." I said in a teasing tone.

"Hai, hai. Yes I am not a good cook, that's why you're good at it!"

I can't help but smile to myself. 'This baka.'

We entered Hakase's house and he placed his bag on the couch and proceeded to push me into the kitchen.

"Are you really that hungry?" I asked him.

"Yes! I'm soo hungry! Now, please cook something! I'm dying here!" he cried.

"Hai, hai, Kudo-sama." I said and pulled out some ingredients from the refrigerator.

"What did you call me?" he asked while cocking his eyebrow.

"Ku- I mean Shinichi-sama."

He grinned and said, "Good."

I put on my apron and threw another to Kudo- I mean Shinichi.

He catched it and said, "You want to have Hakase's house burned?"

"Who said you're gonna touch fire? You're just going to chop everything I say and how I say it. Okay?"

"As if I have a choice." He said rolling his eyes and placing the apron on.

"Here. Peel it. I assume that The Great Savior of The Metropolitan Police Department knows how to peel a carrot?" I said sarcastically.

"Of course I do! Sheesh, I am not that bad at cooking. And this is not cooking anyway!" he said and grabbed a knife and the carrot and started to peel it.

I looked at how he did it for a while and assumed that he could handle it well. I turned to the sink and washed some ingredients.

"Curry alright Sh-Shinichi?"

"Sure. Shiho, I have a question."

"What is it?"

"Why do you find it hard to call me by my name?"

I was taken a back by his question but got to my senses fast enough for it not to seem too weird. "I just… I just got used to calling you Kudo-kun. That's all."

"Ohhh…"

After the said conversation we cooked in silence and finished after a few minutes. I placed two servings of curry on two plates and placed it on the table.

"Food is ready Ku- Shinichi."

"Finally! It took years to make this curry! It better be tasty!" I let him take his first bite and looked at his reaction. He chewed, gulped, and didn't talk but took his second bite, third, fourth, and so on and so on. And he said "Shiho! My curry disappeared!" while grinning.

"You just ate it! I take that as it is delicious?"

"Delicious? More like heaven! I never knew curry could taste this good Shiho! You even surpassed Ran's cooking!" he exclaimed as I got him his second plate.

"Here. Eat, and after you eat you are going to wash the plates."

"Hai, hai."

I ate two serving while he finished what remained.

"I'm stuffed." He said while throwing his self to the sit beside me.

"I would be amazed if you weren't after eating curry that was almost good enough for 10 people." I said exaggeratingly.

"I can't help it! It was so delicious! Where did you learn to cook like that?"

"I learned it from… onee-chan."

"Oh… well… you're sister is one hell of a cook." He said obviously trying to cheer up the atmosphere.

"Yeah… she used to cook for me everyday and I would always eat up everything that she would show me and she would just smile at me…" I forced myself not to shed a tear. 'No. Not here. Not now. Not in front of him.'

I saw Shinichi smile at me and suddenly he held me in his arms.

"Wha-"

"Shhh… I know you want to cry… you don't need to keep it all in… you don't have to carry everything by yourself… remember, Hakase's here, Ran, Oka-san, Otou-san, and Me. I'm your best friend right? We're partners! What you carry I'll carry. Shed a tear I'll be there to give you a shoulder. Want to talk to somebody ill be right here. When it hurts to look at the past and you're afraid to look ahead, just look by your side and I'll be always there."

His last sentence shocked me.

"Ku-" I paused and smiled to myself and said, "Thank you… Shinichi"
