Shinichi continued:
"And what about your boyfriend? And about your baby?"
Second question was barley a whisper, but she herd it and answered:
"And you are supposed to be a detective, when you can't figure out what's happening around!"
She was grinning at him. But he was feeling like a sucker:
"What!"
She continued:
"That was only a trick!"
"But how…? Wh…?" – Shinichi felt really stupid now. Of curse, he was a detective and he must know what's a trick and what's true – "But the pregnancy test…..?"
Ran blushed a little, but decided to explain it:
"Well, … um …. I used simple water paint. It made a color. And all the other was just an acting. That evening I stayed at Sonoko's. Hope you don't mind…?"
"Guess so…."
After a couple of minutes Shinichi decided to invite Ran for a walk. They were in the park. It was beautiful. Trees were shining in the sun. Faces of other people were shining from happiness and Ran's face too. Her smile was Shinichi's sun.
He tried not to stare at Ran, but he failed with misery. She was, is and always will be the most beautiful thing in the world. Like he said: she was stubborn, strong, but gentle and sensitive. She always helped everyone. From his experience she would be great housewife and mother.
The decided to sit down on a bench, since they spent all the day in the park. They were watching the golden sunset. The fight between the day and night, bad and good.
Some movement caught Shinichi's eye. He saw behind the tree a couple. They were kissing. He blushed a little bit and then looked at Ran. She was caught by the same seen. Her cheeks were rosy.
How many times he dreamed of kissing her. His eyes stopped on her lips. His heart started beating faster. His dream was sitting right besides him and he still couldn't gather all his strength, even after he was sure, that she shared the same feelings as he. He remembered the time when she lost her memory. When she asked him who is he… That time it was like a knife in his heart. And then when she described the feelings, witch came to her when she saw his photo. He knew that feeling. He understood, that it was the same feeling, that gave him his goal in life.
The boy didn't notice, that the sun was already gone. He was in his world. His world of fantasies and dreams. Ran brought him back. Shinichi decided for himself: it's now or never. Suddenly his arms went around her wais. She wasn't expecting this movement, so she almost fell. Her hands landed for support on his chest. She was blushing madly the same as he. And in the same sudden movement his lips claimed hers. She almost instinctively answered to his movement. She was waiting and wanting something like this. Their eyes closed. They enjoyed this moment.
Ran felt a cold, wet drop on her nose. Then many other drops fell all over her. Both opened their eyes. Rain was falling on them. Like every other they ran for cover and the nearest cover was Shinichi's house. There they changed. Ran was wearing one of Shinichi's shirts and trousers. Sure she felt uncomfortable because of that, but the other choice of staying in her clothes and getting a cold wasn't better.
They didn't notice how it came to their current pose from just kissing, but they were lying on his bed. Her body was partly covering his, their lips almost never went apart. Their clothes were messed up. His hands wandered over her back. His shirt was unbuttoned. The night took over them…
