Sweater - Mini theater
A/N 1 - Hellooo everyone, imma back with a mini theater. Sooo it is basically my point of view of what went through when Conan received the hand-knit sweater made by Ran in chapter 237 - From the bottom of the heart.
A/N 2 - This portion was sooooooo adorable and heart warming, I just haddd to write about it!!!
Without further ado, please enjoy!! :)) <3
Conan had no idea when his walk had turned into a speed walk, then to a jog and the fact that he was now sprinting at full speed to Hakase's place.
He was running as fast as his short feet could carry him. It all began from the phone call he had recievd from Hakase.
"Aahh Shinichi-kun, Ran-chan dropped a package for you."
The distance between the Mouri detective agency and Hakase's place felt much longer today.
Is it really for me? Something for me?
Conan's muddled and insecure thoughts cleared up when Ran asked for the sweater from Araide-sensei.
Ahhh so she is into knitting these days.....
So that's the reason she is late these days....
I guess she is at Kisaki-sensei's place......
His unsettled stomach had considerably calmed down when he had deduced that Ran had not fallen in love with Araide-sensei and that was enough for Conan to find his peace but the phone call from Hakase had left him running blank and breathless, as his deduction and his heart made his emotions swing like a pendulum.
His hope and logic were constantly at the opposing ends.
"I...*huffs*... am.... *huffs*..... here.... Hakase....," said Conan.
"Here you go Shinichi-kun."
Hakase passed him the package with a grin, clearly having guessed what was inside.
However Conan was already busy with his deductions and rushed to the basement of Hakase's house and lowered the temperature of the radiator.
The lightness of the package, the compressibility of the wrapped objects, so sounds apart from the rustling of the paper packaging, Conan had his answer.
It's a hand knit sweater for me.
His throat constricted with emotion and he had to gulp several times before he could even proceed to unwrap the package.
Very slowly he took out the wrapped present from the paper bag and slowly undid the packaging to reveal a light blue coloured sweater.
Shinichi couldnt breath.
He held it up and studied the sweater in detail and in his minds eye he could picture the entire process. Ran selecting yarn of a colour which he would like. Reading up on the steps, watching tutorials and slowly giving a structure to a ball of yarn.
Conan studied every detail, including the meticulously made knits, the high neck collar, the raised block pattern, the cuffs, the shoulder length. He could sense every sincere and dedicated action Ran had done to make this sweater. Everything about this piece of knitwear was undoing his heart.
Feeling extremely overwhelmed by emotions, Shinichi hugged the sweater close to his chest and buried his face in the high-neck collar. The sweater obviously smelled of simple yarn, but even then Shinichi could feel that once the sweater was completed Ran had hugged this finished product as well. He did his best to take in even the most minuscule remnant of her.
The room had gotten colder now and Shinichi pulled it away and saw a paper fall from inside the sweater. It was Ran's handwritten note.
Remember to stay warm, it is getting colder these day - Ran
Shinichi read the note again and again and finally pressed his lips against the paper, kissing Ran's name.
How many more times must I lose my heart to you Ran?
Conan put the sweater on which was quite obviously big on him and even reached his feet. He was covered in it from head to toe, literally. He felt a little bittersweet as it would have been a perfect fit on 'Shinichi' but even then he pulled back the sleeves and gently kissed the cuffs and the high collar.
It was warm, soft and cosy, exactly like the heart of the woman he so dearly loved.
Feeling a bubbling sense of joy he looked at himself in the mirror admiring the knitwear all over again and completely failing to see his own flushed cheeks and the twinkle in his eyes.
Post his admiration he sauntered out from the basement still wearing it and walked upstairs to make a very important call.
They are soooo adorable <333
