Forgotten Memories [Detective Conan Fanfic]

Puppy Doll

After finishing their dinner, the duo decided to take a break from the rides, which Shinichi was very happy about, and take a look at the carnival games placed around the park.

Shiho glanced briefly at the small puppy doll in one of the vending machine games with big round eyes and a small but pointy nose that's begging her to play with. She slowed down her pace a bit, which Shinichi didn't fail to notice, and he glimpsed at the little doll.

The detective smiled while seeing Shiho try her best to not look at the cute puppy because if she did, it'll ruin her demeanour. Instinctively, he grabbed her hand and dragged her over to the game, with little mannerisms.

He fished into his pocket to grab out a 100 dollar coin and tossed it to the manager.

'I would like to play a round please,' he said, as Shiho stared at him, confused to whether he wanted the doll, or somehow, he read her mind and thought that she wanted the doll.

Shinichi smirked and eyed the machine, calculating its position, distance, and size. He readied his hands on the controllers and started to steer, his eyes not ripping away from the doll.

Shiho was mesmerizing his features and how focused he is. She watched his every movement in admiration as her eyes got glued to him. Every time he unconsciously bites his inner lip, every time he repositions his neck, and every time that smirk of his crawls up to his face again, makes her heartbeat fasten and her cheek redden.

What are you doing Shiho? Stop staring at him like an idiot. His probably just gonna get that doll for Ran anyways. That incident back at the restaurant was nothing, he was probably just curious about it, like always.

She watched as his smirk dropped, the puppy just on the edge of the opening. He whispers a small curse under his breath, as he fishes out another coin and puts on his ambitious attitude.

The scientist watched the detective fail ten rounds, without her interrupting his concentration until he finally got it on the 11th round.

'Yes, finally!' he cheered, grabbing the doll underneath the machine and handing it to Shiho.

'For me?' she asked, seeing Shinichi handing the doll to her.

'Yes, I saw you staring at it, and I thought you might like it as a little gift,' he explained, amused by Shiho's confused, but cute face.

She immediately blushed an even deeper shade of red. She's been blushing a lot lately. Thinking that he spent 1100 dollars on a little puppy doll, just for her. She stared towards the ground before muttering, 'thank you,'

Shinichi smiled genuinely and gently grasped on her small and fragile hand. An electric shock seemed to pass through both teens body, making giddy feelings inside them.

As they walked away, Shiho stroked the ginger furs on the puppy, the thought of Shinichi popping into her head again. A smile came upon her face.

They visited a few other games before deciding it was best to go home.

'I just realized, we never finished our game of never have I ever,' Shiho remarked, still gently patting the doll, 'you didn't tell me if  you have ever reconsidered liking someone?'

Shinichi sighed 'I definitely have, I kept on telling myself that I was wrong and that I did love her,' he explained, the two stopping in the middle of the streets, 'but little did I know, I unconsciously fell in love with someone else,'

They gazed into each other's eyes, the moonlight radiating behind them, casting beams of luminous white light. Everything seemed to freeze around them, leaving only the two teenagers. Both of their heartbeats quickened, as the two slowly leaned into each other while admiring each other's refined facial features.

Closing their eyes, they both lifted their hands and placed it on each other's cheek. It all happened in an instant, their lips touched, closing the moonlight in the space between the two. Sparks surged through their bodies, as they started to relax.

Shinichi pulled Shiho to his body as they continued the kiss.

It was not a full-on french kiss, where they have their tongues sticking into each other's mouth, trying to swallow each other. It was only a lip touching kiss, but it was passionate, and they melted into each other's arms.

When they finally realised the situation they were in, they immediately pulled away, instant regret filled them as they did, missing the warm feeling. Shiho was about to shout at Shinichi, but she didn't hate the kiss, she actually liked it. She felt giddy and she was pretty sure her cheeks were beyond red now.

The two teen stared into each other's eyes and simply smiled as if they could understand each other just through the gazes.

A/N: That was a bad kiss scene, but I don't think they're ready for a french kiss. Yet. There will be one coming soon, so I didn't put that much effort in this kiss scene, bc it's not the important one, the important one is the one coming up in later chapters.

Of course, if you prefer not reading the kiss scene coming later, you can just skip it, I'll give you a warning.
