Declaimer: I don´t own Detective Conan
A/N: I´ve been trying to update this for two days already... and it kept showing me some kind of error every time I clicked on my account! I so hate internet right now... Enjoy... *cries silently in a corner*
Blue eyes opened in the darkness of a room their owner didn´t remember entering… only to close right away, deciding not to worry for now. If she remembered well, or at least well enough not to worry, she had fell unconscious the day before when Kaito´s prank went wrong and she inhaled… sleeping gas, right? She really should have listened to him before entering the room…
Opening her eyes once again, the sleepiness still there, Shinichi rubbed her eyes. Where was she again? Not home for sure, taking in account her bed was much bigger and the room had more books… "Oh wait…" Sighing, she tried to stand up. Yes, now she remembered… She had given in Kaito´s pleas and had gone with him on a trip. Currently she was in a house his mother owned in Paris… and it was Christmas Eve.
Leaving the dark room, Shinichi´s eyes searched the apartment. It was unusually silent and cold and it made her wonder where had Kaito gone that time. The day before he disappeared to check out the building where his heist would be held… Oh… his heist…
Checking the clock, the blue eyes girl frowned. It was already five in the afternoon… what meant Kaito was already gone to prepare and execute his heist… Frowning even more, the girl wondered why was she feeling so gloomy all of sudden. It wasn´t like she was feeling sad because…
"I am hungry!" Shinichi stated all of sudden, not wanting her thoughts to continue in that direction. "Yes, that must be it…" She usually didn´t get all dark when she was hungry, unlike Kaito, but maybe his habit was rubbing out on her.
Opening the fridge eagerly, she grabbed the first thing she saw, watching the TV as she ate last night´s dinner. For a moment there she felt better, staring at the foreign TV shows and new programs like it was normal, thanking god she insisted on learning French. Otherwise, she would have lost interest in it the moment she heard them talk.
"Joyeux Noël!" Said the announcer, smiling a little bit. "Et maintenant sur la société…" Turning the TV off, Shinichi stared at the black screen for a moment, before walking to the fridge again and taking out the pudding. Screw the fact she didn´t like sweet, she was starting to get depressed.
However, there was no reason to be depressed… She was in Paris, the Christmas was around the corner and… the reason she came there was nowhere to be seen. "Damn it." Finishing the pudding quickly, she jumped up. "I´m going out!"
Changing into a warm outfit, her face dark for some reason she still couldn´t understand, Shinichi left the cold lonely apartment without thinking twice. She was getting depressed for some reason she couldn't understand… and honestly, staying there alone at such a time was the last thing she wanted. Maybe if she went out to the cold air something would chance…
The temperatures were low, but there was no snow in Paris. Only the cold freezing air reminded the people December was there, that and the dark clouds.
Shinichi walked around Paris for hours, walking, walking and walking. And with each hours she just got more and more sad, blue eyes losing their sparkle with each moment. Something was wrong with her… She was used to being all alone at Christmas, New Year… sometimes even her birthday! So why was she so sad all of sudden? She couldn´t understand… and the walk did nothing to make her feel better.
"I´m a fool." She stated all of nowhere, watching the huge screen which was displaying Kid´s heist near an artificial ice ring. She could see Kaito there, grinning like a mad man and playing with the police. Even in the ring people cheered for him, even thou he was a thief. Then again, she was the detective who was going out with him…
"Stupid…" Shinichi mumbled turning around and walking away. Looking at the screen made it worse. And as she walked pass by couples holding hands and kissing in public like it was totally normal, she only felt sadder. Weren´t they ashamed? Or more like, couldn´t they just disappear? There she was, all alone in one of the most romantic nights of all while her boyfriend played tags…
Freezing all of sudden, her blue eyes blinked a few time before realization hit her. She was jealous of them! She was totally and completely jealous of the happy couples around her! "When did this happen?" And it was all Kaito´s fault for leaving her all alone at such an important day!
"Stupid Kaito…" She murmured into the wind, tears threatening to fall. How could he do that to her? Even she had her girlish moments… Why hadn´t he realized she was really looking forward to that day, considering it was all she had been talking for the last days? So that´s why she had been so depressed… Because he left her. "I guess he likes his job more than me…"
"Who liked what more than who?" A voice ringed right into her ear and Shinichi jumped up startled. There, in front of her with a huge present under his arm and red cheeks, stood her boyfriend, also startled, for other reasons of course. "I have been looking for you! Why did you leave the apartment?"
Pouting, irritated, annoyed; Shinichi turned around and stormed away. He made her suffer all that time, left her all alone… and now he dared to ask questions? "Screw you, idiot!" She stated angry, her eyes scanning the streets looking for the way back. She would go back, get her stuff and fly back to Japan. She had enough money with her to pay the trip back.
"Shinichi!" Kaito ran after her, confused. First, she was almost crying for some reason, and now she was running away. "Shin-chan, wait up!" The girl suddenly turned around and glared at him, promising to hit him.
"Don´t call me that, Bakaito!" Urg, when did she learn that nickname? Kaito needs to keep her away from Aoko before that idiot ruined his relationship. "Go back to your annoying heist! I don´t care anymore!"
"Shinichi?" Now she was confusing him… But before he had the chance to say a thing, he ran towards her panicking. His girlfriend started crying all of sudden, and he cursed himself even thou he didn´t know what triggered it. By her previous statements, he could tell it was his fault. "I´m sorry, Shinichi. I´m sorry…"
Hugging her, Kaito was ready to be hit or kicked… so when she hugged him back, called him an idiot and stopped crying, he was more than shocked. "Next time you leave me all alone, I will rat you out to police."
Nodding, thou he still wasn´t sure what happened, Kaito smiled. "Merry Christmas, Shinichi." The girl stared at him for a moment, erased any trace of tears… and smiled back. It was at that moment that Kaito noticed something right upon them, smirking evilly. "Hey, Shinichi… guess what is on top of us?"
The blue eyes teen looked at him confused, before blushing the moment her eyes met the green adornment called Holly. "You put it there, didn´t you?" She asked him a little bit irritated, before sighing. "You won this time…"
Grinning, Kaito leaned forward, placing his lips on top of hers. He could feel her face heating up, but he didn´t care. Later he would think about everything that just happened. However, that would come later. Now all he did was enjoy that kiss.
A/N: Merry Christmas Everyone! Even if it is late... Please, someone explain me what error 503 means, otherwise I will kill someone. Two stupid days! It´s not normal!
Plus, my dad started changing our kitchen, so I am pissed and had almost no sleep the last few days...
