Sleepover

Conan was livid that she would even think to threaten Ran like that, even as a joke it was plan wrong.

"You are the worse kind of person I have ever met!" he glared at the girl watching as she lowered her arm meeting his glare.

"I'm not stupid enough to pull that, Kudo" Haibara turned away from him upset.

"Just go, you have who you really want to be with"

She looked down brushing her hand over her red cheek as she cried silently.

Conan shut the door behind him as he went back up to Ran, contemplating on what to do. "I'll be home later alright?" he looked up at the young woman, dropping that childish act that he had, now that she knew the truth.

Ran looked him over still finding it hard to believe that the boy that had staid with her for so long was her best friend. She gave a small nod still not pleased at the sexual relationship that he shared with the young chemist, but not blaming him, from all that stress that he was going through needed a way to be released.

Ran paused at the door and looked back at him "I understand what you are going through, Shinichi" she met his eyes "I know you well enough, you will figure out all the clues and solve your own case…both of them" Ran watched him a moment before going out walking home.

Conan sighed and sat on the sofa crossing his arms as he waited to see how long it would take Haibara to come back upstairs.

Haibara opened the door hearing the silence then came out pausing, seeing him there.

"Why are you still here?"

Conan closed his eyes, not moving from his seat "You are my girlfriend remember? I'm sorry I hit you" he opened his eyes looking down "It was uncalled for, I lost myself"

Haibara approached a bit weary but sat beside him "I wouldn't hurt Ran, she saved my life from Vermouth" she looked down at her hands then at him when he reached taking hers.

"You, you were with… him?" he gave her a look that almost made her think he was jealous.

"It didn't mean anything… to me or to him. When Vermouth would go back to America to be the actress and would be away from Gin for prolonged amounts of time, he started to come to me. I was young and stupid but attention is attention regardless if it is good or bad, and I craved it."

She felt him squeeze her hand softly.

"You're no whore, Haibara"

She leaned against Conan, letting her head rest on his shoulder softly as he intertwined his fingers with hers.

"I know you still love her, I'm just selfish and it figures that the first person I want to be with already has someone. When the time comes I'll let you go, you deserve better then me anyway."

Conan looked down at her and kissed her forehead softly before leaning his head on top of hers.

"I don't want to think about when that time comes, you are all that maters to me now alright?"

Haibara gave a small smile "I love you, my great detective" she whispered to him.

"Who knows what the future will bring?"

(Perhaps in time, I'll write a sequel if people really wish it? Feedback would be great ^_~)
