Ran bustled in about an hour after the client had left (after insisting they come anyway, just in case) with her heart in her eyes and smile, just like always. It was a look that made his breath hitch just a little, even now. It was starting to fade slightly, though. Shinichi had let it go, was watching it slowly slip through his fingers, but he'd kept a shard tucked away. He didn't want to loose that completely, ever.
She was, after all, his first love.
Some people might have thought he was pathetic enough to give up hope without Ran to return to. Conan rather thought he'd like to kick those people in the shin. With his super shoes.
He had more waiting for him as Shinichi than just some romantic entanglement with Ran, damn it.
His entire life for example! He sure as hell wasn't going to grow up again...
Ran was rifling through her shopping bag while Conan absently babbled to her about the case, and tried not to send Kogoro smug looks. The man was looking irately resigned, an interesting combination, as he realized that he'd be forced to take the two along again.
Okay, so there were some perks to being a little kid...
"Ehhh?" Ran's voice interrupted his flow of words and Conan realized, a bit sheepishly, that she was treating his Kaitou Kid dialogue with the same non-attention she'd always used on his Sherlock Holmes rants. "What's this?"
This, turned out to be a little heart (with little angel wings) shaped cellphone charm. Conan said as much and Ran gave him an exasperated look.
"Wonderful deduction," The girl said. She looked amused, so Conan just beamed at her and the two ended up laughing for several moments. Finally, Ran said, "I didn't buy this..."
"Maybe it was some sort of free gift," Kogoro grumbled.
"Maybe!" Ran said cheerfully. "It's so cute, isn't it Conan-kun? I think I'll use it..."
