A/N: Sorry for the shortness of this chapter.
Bright blue eyes flickered, a yawn escaping it's owner's lips. As his eyes adjusted itself to the dimmed lighting of the room, they trailed towards a certain sleeping woman, stark naked on the bed next to him. The teenager's eyes instantly snapped wide open as realization dawned upon him.
'Oh no...no no no no. What the hell was I thinking!' Shinichi thought frantically as he scrambled away from the woman, falling off the bed in the process. He had remembered it all. Everything. Including what had happened a few days ago. What he didn't know was why in the world he was driven to force such a thing upon her.
Shinichi's face turned red when his eyes fell upon her softened face once again, her entire lower half covered in the blanket. 'T...This is real...We actually...'
The nude detective's breath caught in his throat when a groan suddenly escaped Shiho's lips, as she shifted into a sitting position, the blanket sliding off of her chest, leaving it completely exposed, causing the man to quickly avert his eyes in embarrassment.
It didn't take long before chaos ensued.
"K-Kudo-kun!" She breathed out, too shocked to remember they had agreed to call themselves by their first names. The woman nearly died of embarrassment when she also recalled the events of the previous passionate night. Realizing he wasn't wearing anything, she averted her eyes, face red.
All Shinichi could do was look away in shame. "I-I'm...I didn't mean..." His jumbled words were difficult to decipher. The detective's eyes shut tightly when Shiho suddenly stood up, thinking she was about to slap him.
When nothing came, however, he opened them, realizing she had only walked passed him to get a new change of clothes from her dresser. He was horrified at what he had done to her. He'd violated her in such a way that was unforgivable. Their relationship would never be the same.
Shiho's eyes narrowed, her cheeks turning red. "W-What are you looking at?"
As a blush made it's way to his cheeks, his eyes tore themselves away from the woman to the floor, realizing he'd been staring at her. Having no idea what to say, both of the embarrassed teens remained silent, as Shinichi had also begun to put on clothes. Neither of them so much as glanced as each other, not even once. After Shiho changed into her red tank top and gray pants, she turned to the shirtless Shinichi, who had only managed to put his pants on, breaking the silence.
"It's okay, Kudo-kun, I know you didn't mean it." She suddenly said, causing the boy to appear confused. 'Shouldn't she be trying to kill me?' After what he did, knowing Haibara's character, he was so sure that she would be furious. Though, when it came to predicting how others felt, Shinichi wasn't exactly the smartest tool in the shed.
"The new antidote I made contains a new ingredient, unlike the previous ones you took." The scientist started to explain. Despite her calm tone, she was trying her best to keep from losing her cool. "Since ingesting baijiu while also having a fever seemed to turn us back into our original bodies, I had thought that the key to creating a permanent antidote involved our body temperature. Hence, I tried adding a different alcohol, Tequila, which makes your body sear up."
"Wait..." Said Shinichi, as he realized what the woman's point was. "Alcohol is known for stimulating our hormones, resulting in arousal... and, with the combination of both of those alcohol, overtime, it will result in–"
"Correct, it will result in a clingy lustful detective." She cut through, a faint playful smirk on her features. "And it actually did affect me, as well. The effects just weren't as intense because it takes longer for a woman's body to heat up than a man's." (A/N: Not all of this is true. Too lazy to research so I'm making this up to fit with my story)
"I see..." Shinichi sighed, his face fixed on the floor as he sat on her bed, still shirtless.
"Though, I'm not certain why we are still in these forms." Shiho wondered aloud as her eyes were unable to make eye contact with him. After what they did, they'd never be the same...
It quickly become quiet again, an air of tension lingering through the room. The usual playful and teasing mannerisms of the two were completely absent. In its place was now two teenagers lost in what to do or say. Shinichi's expression softened, as his eyes drifted over to the troubled scientist, whom in which was now sitting in her computer chair a ways from him, her eyes transfixed to the ground.
A realization suddenly came to mind, causing Shinichi's eyes widen in fear at the possible consequences of their actions. "W-Wait a minute...Won't you be...?"
"No," Shiho quickly replied, knowing full well what he was thinking. "Normally, yes, I could become pregnant, but when we turn back into our younger selves, I won't have the ability to reproduce anymore, since I'll be a child."
"Oh, right..." Shinichi should be feeling relieved at this... but why was he feeling like he had just been shot through the heart?
"If I don't transform back soon, though, then it I do become pregnant and turn back into a child, the unborn child will die..." Shiho's tone was grim, hoping that it didn't have to come to that.
Shinichi but his lip at this. Sure, they didn't exactly mean for all this to happen...but this was still his...no, their possible child's life at risk. Of course he wouldn't want the unborn child to die.
"S-Shiho," He suddenly began, causing her head to snap up at him, still not accustomed to him using her name. "I should've told you sooner, but now, after all that's happened, I can't keep it in any longer."
"What are you talking about?" She quieted as he stood up, walking over to her. Shinichi placed his hand on hers, surprising the scientist at his boldness.
"I want you to know that whatever happens," His honest and kind eyes locked into hers, never once leaving. "We're in this together."
Shiho's eyes softened at his warm words. "No matter what, if you do become pregnant, I won't let our child die." A blush made it's way onto her face, as well as his face, since every time the word child was mentioned, it was a constant reminder of what they did.
The scientist's blush soon faded at her next thoughts. "...And Mouri-san? What about her?" Her attempt at hiding her jealously failed to work, judging by Shinichi's somewhat taken aback expression.
"What about her?" Shinichi responded, much to the surprise of Shiho. Didn't he like Ran? "Ran isn't involved in this... You're more important." He suddenly wrapped his arms around her in an attempt to comfort the troubled woman. Shiho felt at ease in his embrace, all of her negative thoughts instantly diminishing.
Hearing him say those words felt like a huge weight was lifted off of her shoulders. She'd always thought that he was just being friendly with her and cared about her just so could finish the Antidote so he could go on living happily ever after with his precious Ran...
Perhaps... she had been wrong?
