I have put this fanfic to fanfiction.net before.
Ok, so this is my first Detective Conan fic, and at the same time the first fic that I have written in English.
I hope you all will like this one and please review! Sorry if my English isn’t good enough just yet!
And i also have to say a big THANK YOU for my beta, YumeTakato.
Happily Ever After - chapter 1
It was an ordinary day at the Detective Agency, there had been no calls, no visits, and in the end, it was just plain boring. On days like these, Ran found herself lying on the sofa, listening to the radio, and thinking of Shinichi again.
'It's been two years... two horribly long years without Shinichi. Where could he have gone...? Where is he now...? For all I know, he could be living with some blond-haired, skinny wife, and a cute little child to complete the picture. Maybe he doesn't even remember me. I mean, he hasen't even bothered to call me in hald a year now! Hmph.'
Suddenly she felt her eyes burn as tears formed. She still loved that stupid mystery-loving Shinichi, and couldn't even make herself stop loving him. He'd hurt her so many times before, and yet, she still couldn't forget him.
'Shinichi left two years ago... and now Conan is doing the same.' Ran sighed and brushed the tears off of her cheeks. Conan's parents were going to finally take him away and go to America with their son. He was going to leave tonight, and so he was resting in his room. Well, of course, that's what Ran thought was going on.
In all truth, the Professor and Ai had finally made a true antidote for Conan, and he was going to be taking it this evening. The Black organization had finally been crushed, and they were finally able to get all the necessary components for the antidote.
The three of them had planned not to tell Ran, or anyone else, but Conan had decided he would tell her the truth. He was afraid though. Like any time before, there was always a chance that the antidote wouldn't work. There was also the chance he may just stay as a child. The worst case scenario, of course, was that he would die.
'Ran has to know the truth. I just can't hurt her anymore, and I have to do it now.' Conan's thoughts were brought to their final conclusion as he walked into the living room where Ran was lying on the sofa.
Conan quickly noticed that she had been crying again... all because of him.
He stared down at her, feeling torn apart inside, knowing that she hadn't a clue that he had been watching her all this time. He noticed she was deep in thought as she stared blankly at the ceiling. Slowly, Conan went over to her and sat down near her. Ran felt him sit down, and shifted her eyes to him, noticing that Conan seemed upset. He seemed sad and tired as he looked back at her beautiful eyes.
Ran took in a breath, "Conan, w-"
Conan cut her off suddenly, using his index finger to make a sign of silence, "Sshh.. Please, let me speak. I...I've something to t-tell and ask you. Just... please, listen to me and... Please forgive me, ok...?"
She nodded and sat up beside him. He sighed and looked at floor. He then opened his mouth and spoke, ”I'm really sorry for everything... all your pain is my fault...” Conan took a pause as Ran became confused, not knowing what he was talking about.
"I've lied to you Ran... I've to lie to you for two long years... I should have told you two years ago, but now I'm going to tell you. I have to tell you that my name isn't Conan Edogawa, it's a fake name that I took on. You know my real name, you've suspected it more than once before..." Conan then took off his glasses, looking her in the eyes, "I am your childhood friend, Shinichi Kudo."
Ran gasped, shocked.
Sure, she'd had her suspicions, but now to be told to openly, to be told by him, on his own willpower, it was different. All she could do was stare at him as tears started to fall down her cheeks. Yet, she couldn't help but smile, finally feeling true joy, knowing that he was alive. She then found herself hugging him closely to herself, almost crushing him before she realized it, holding him close.
“I've missed you so much. Even though when you always were here whith me... I almost can't believe it. But... how? H-how is this possible? Why are you so small? And... Oh God, you really are here!” she said with a trembling voice, hugging him.
“I've missed you too, Ran.” He said with a low voice.
Ran released him gently as she grabbed his head lightly with her hands and looked deeply into his brilliant blue eyes. She smiled, pulling him closer and closer...
Conan blushed. Their lips meeting as Conan saw only Ran’s closed eyes when she kissed him. He slowly closed his eyes as well, kissing her back. Her hands went back of his neck and pulled him closer. He put his hands right on her ears. They kissed gently...
Suddenly, the door opened and they pulled away each other, startled. Both of them blushed and looked at who came in. It was Kogoro. Luckily though, he'd had too much beer and almost passed out on the spot. Slowly, he collected himself and crawled to his room and didn't come back. Soon, loud snoring told that he had fallen asleep.
Conan and Ran were still embarrassed as they looked at each other and smiled.
”Well, um... You haven't told me yet why you're a child now. Please, tell me.” Ran said and looked at Conan.
“It’s gonna be looong story”, he thought.
He then told everything about the BO and their drug. He told everything he knew. He told why he couldn't tell her and who did know it before her.
It took about half an hour to tell everything and answer her questions.
”So, will you ever forgive me that I hurt you, and that I wasn't there when you most wanted it?” he asked quietly with a sad smile on his face.
“But Shinichi, you were there when I wanted it most. I just didn't know it, but you've made me feel better. So, of course I can forgive you, because you're here now.” she said and gave him a kiss on his cheek.
Conan blushed and stood up.
"I need to go now so I can take the cure, so that I can be with you in my own body. Bye, Ran." Conan then started to walk to the door, only to stop when Ran said, "I'll come with you." She then went over to him and took him sand, "You need someone to give you strength, I can be there with you, Shinichi."
--------------------
It took a few minutes to walk to Agasa’s house, even though it felt like forever. They both were silent on the way there. Finally, they were there in front of Agasa’s door and rang the bell.
A few moments later, Agasa opened the door and was little surprised of seeing Ran. ”So, he told you?”
Ran just nodded and let go of Conan’s hand as they went inside.
”Where’s Ai?” Conan asked when he didn't see her.
“She’s getting everything ready.” Agasa said as he sat down on a nearby chair, Conan and Ran doing the same.
Ai came to the room and looked at Ran for a few moments before speaking, “So, are you ready Kudo?”
Conan nodded, stood up, and walked after Ai with Ran.
They then went into Agasa’s room. Ai held a glass of water and the pill in her hands. She than placed them on the table near the bed. Conan then sat down on the bed and sighed.
Ran sat beside him and gave a hug. ”You can do it, I'm right here.” she whispered.
Conan took glass and the pill and took it. Soon he felt the horrible pain that always went along with the transformation. It burned his skin and bones. Ran was taken out by Ai as he lay down on the bed and screamed, his becoming unbearable. Then he passed out.
---------------------
A week later, Shinichi and Ran walked hand in hand to the park. Shinichi was in his real body again and smiled all the time. She smiled too. They sat down on a bench and sighed. He then slowly put his arm around her shoulders and she put her head on his shoulder. It was midday, so the sun was high.
”Can I ask you something?” he said.
”Sure!”
”Um... I just thought... What do you think about a date in Central Kyoto tower’s sight seeing restaurant at 8 o'clock tonight?” he asked
”That sounds great! But you have to promise that you don't leave me again”, she said and wrapped her arms around his waist.
“Of course I won't!” he said, giving her a kiss on her forehead. “I'll pick you up at 7:40 PM.”
Time passed, and soon it was 7:30 when Shinichi left his house with a very special box in his pocket.
“It’s gonna be hard. I have to tell her. Maybe she already knows about what I feel about her. But... I have to tell her on my own that... that I... love her. She maybe just laugh at me and tell me that she already has a boyfriend. Hmm... Has she?”
He was so deep into his thoughts that he almost passed her house. He returned and went up the stairs and rang the bell.
”Coming! Please wait a moment!” Shinichi heard a voice coming from inside.
Soon Ran opened the door. Shinichi found him self breathless. She looked really... beautiful.
He just stared at her and she blushed too. She had a nice light-blue dress, pretty neck-lace, her hair was just like it was usually, and she also had very beautiful, natural make up on her face.
”Whoa, um... Well, you look nice..” he said and blushed more.
“Thanks, you look nice too... Shall we go?” she said and smiled at him.
--------------------
Ran very quickly realized that they had the same table from the last time they were there. Then she just remembered the story which the waitress had told her. She had no idea why Shinichi took this table a second time when he invited her there. She blushed, she had an idea... But no, Shinichi wouldn't do that... Would he...?
“So, why did you want to invite me here again?” Ran asked suddenly and made Shinichi blush.
“Uh, well... I-I still haven't told you that thing that I was supposed to tell you last time” he said smiling nervously and finished his meal and she finished her own as well.
”And what is that thing?” she asked and grinned.
He was going to answer when somebody screamed and yelled, “Dead man! Oh, my GOD, there’s a DEAD man!”
Shinichi stood up. “Uhm, can I go? I promise I'll be back soon...” Ran nodded knowingly, and smiled as she hugged him gently. “Just do what you have to.” She then let him go.
