But everyone falls in love with you"

Facts About Shinichi

I let my forehead fall against his. But he hated people and was letting me do this. So I let myself. You're so stupid, I said with my lips held tight between my teeth. Out of Ran, Hattori, Yoshida, and probably more, I deserved him the least. I was the reason he was like this.

His eyes flicked back up to mine, and a thick tear of blood fell from one. "You're changing back," I told him, and he pulled me into his shaking frame. He was so big and so warm and he smelled like sleep.

"You really don't know, do you," I whispered as he screamed and clutched at me, at the couch, at nothing. Then suddenly he couldn't breathe. I kissed him.
