Kazuha witnessed something she should not have seen. But, it gave her an idea of what real love is amidst the… certain act.
Warning: Slightly mature (heavy implications)
She hated waking up in the middle of the night to attend a particular need. Especially when she knew she wouldn’t go back to sleep anytime soon. Sleeping next to Heiji was difficult if that boy slept earlier than her. It meant that she would hear an annoying snore from her boyfriend and she didn’t know when she would go back to sleep with that loud sound resonating in their entire room.
Kazuha wished that she hadn’t agreed when Ran suggested that they sleep with their significant others in separate rooms. She’s pretty sure that she wouldn’t of had this kind of problem now. But who was she to deny her? It was already considerate of Ran-chan to include her and her ahou boyrfriend on this wonderful trip in a nice ryokan provided by Sonoko-chan. If she wanted to be with Kudo-kun whom she didn’t see in almost a year, she deserved it. No one should deny that to her.
Pushing herself from the futon she shared with her boyfriend, Kazuha walked towards the sliding door and opened it to step outside. She gave one last withering glare to her obviously asleep and snoring boyfriend before sliding close their room and silently padded towards the bathroom.
She couldn’t help but to whine. They were going sightseeing tomorrow but with how loudly Heiji is snoring? She doubted she’d have enough sleep and energy for tomorrow.
Kazuha almost reached the end of the hallway where the bathroom was when she heard noises. Eyebrows furrowing, she stopped in her tracks and tried to listen more to the sound. It was a certain noise that her mind refused to acknowledge. After all, she was still sleepy and she could be imagining things.
But the noises continued and proved that it wasn’t a figment of her imagination. Her drowsy mind suddenly perked up, wanting to know where the sound came from. Her curiosity piqued more when she realized it might be coming from the other room- Ran-chan and Kudo-kun’s room.
Slowly and a bit hesitantly, she walked towards the closed sliding door, careful not to make any sound. Once situated in front of it, the noises became louder. Biting her lip, Kazuha knew what she was about to do was a gross invasion of privacy but she really couldn’t help it. She was curious by nature. Carefully, she put her left ear over the shoji.
And confirmed that the noise indeed came from inside their room. But it wasn’t the fact that the noises were coming from there that made her face flush and her heart pound in her ear. It was because of what kind of noises she was hearing.
Trying to breath normally, Kazuha’s eyes scanned the closed door despite the dimness of the room and found that the shoji had a little opening. It must be the reason why some sounds escaped the safe confines of the room.
She bit her lip harder and scolded herself not to go through with the idea her mind was teasing her to do. But she couldn’t help it. This time of night was making her mind not do rational and rightful things.
If she were to get caught, she’d kneel in front of them and grovel.
Slipping her index finger through the tiny opening, the shoji opened further without making any noise and Kazuha, despite the protest of her rational mind, kneeled in front of it and peeked.
The knowledge about the kind of noise she was hearing that her mind refused to admit earlier confirmed itself in the picture her eyes were now seeing.
Her mouth went dry. Her face heated in an unbelievable flush and her eyes bulged at the sight.
Inside the dim room with only the ray of moonlight illuminating the place, there laid Ran-chan on her back on the futon.
With Kudo-kun on top of her.
Their sleeping yukata opened giving her the sight of Ran’s bare breast.
Kazuha’s face flushed once more and she felt a little dizzy with the heat but her hand found the strength to cover her lips to prevent any sound that may come out. She didn’t trust her vocal chords to stay calm.
Then her eyes moved downwards. Ran-chan and Kudo-kun didn’t have any blankets over them and although the lapels of Kudo-kun’s yukata covered their lower bodies, Kazuha knew that they were connected by the hip.
She wasn’t innocent in this kind of area by any means. She had heard lots of stories from fellow classmates and even though she and Heiji hadn’t transcended to that level of intimacy yet, she knew what Kudo-kun was doing to Ran-chan.
It’s just baffling to her that they were already in this stage of their relationship. Kudo-kun just got back three months ago! But then again… They’ve been dating before that. They’ve been dating for six months now so it meant that they might’ve been doing that even before he came back for good. It’s plausible since they’d been longing for each other and they deserve happiness from each other so it just made sense that they were already this close.
Kudo-kun groaned and it effectively made Kazuha focus on them once more. She watched as their tempo changed. Ran-chan was mewling louder. It was obvious that she was trying to contain her moans by biting her lip. Her nails digging into Kudo-kun’s arms and he didn’t seem to mind it a bit.
Instead, he was looking at her and something about the way he looked at Ran-chan made Kazuha’s heart leap.
His eyes were half lidded but Kazuha could tell how clear he was seeing Ran-chan. His gaze unbounded, raw; yielding his emotions bare.
He was in love, very much.
He would do anything for her.
In their years of friendship, Kazuha had always knew of Ran-chan’s feelings for Kudo-kun. She saw how devoted and admiring she was for the young detective. She always believed that Ran-chan loved Kudo-kun more than he ever loved her. With the cases, and the thing about Conan-kun, Kazuha thought she was right.
But that simple gaze made her realize that no, she was wrong. She was seeing how he felt in the purest yet simplest way. It was in his gaze and how he looked at her alone that made her realize and understand that Kudo-kun loved Ran-chan just as much, if not more.
And Ran-chan, she wasn’t moaning or mewling. She was smiling up at him, her eyes holding the same intensity of passion, like she was understanding what his eyes were telling her.
Even after the Shinigami case, Kazuha always believed that her two friends were bonded by a connection the Almighty one had orchestrated, and what she was witnessing right now was the proof of it.
Kudo-kun leaned down the same time Ran-chan moved her head up to catch his lips. Their kiss, slow and sensual, a contrast to their tempo but it radiated of too much love that Kazuha finally looked away.
She didn’t know why watching them kiss like this made her embarrassed, like she was disturbing a sacred place, despite the fact that she had just witnessed the most intimate action these two could ever do.
Deciding that she had enough of her silent intrusion, Kazuha silently and gently stood up, keeping her gaze on the ground while doing so. She wanted to talk to Ran-chan about it tomorrow. She would apologize first and if she wasn’t upset and cool enough to converse with her, she would ask for advice. She wanted to move things along with Heiji but that ahou was a little childish and always distracted. Kazuha never had doubts that Heiji loved her but something about what she witnessed today made her want to see that look in Heiji’s eyes too. It was just in there, inside him and Kazuha wanted to know how to extract that.
Smiling to herself, business already forgotten, the young lady slid the shoji close with a soft click.
His lips separated from her with a soft smacking sound and Ran felt the sudden absence of moist and warmth. Not only that but his movements stopped as well.
“Shinichi?” Ran called, breathless and dazed as she opened her eyes that she didn’t know had closed.
But her boyfriend didn’t respond. His eyes were no longer hazy, it was focused and unfortunately, it wasn’t directed at her. He was glancing sideways and like the way his nose moved when he was smelling something, his right ear was twitching as if he was trying to listen to something.
Ran bit her swollen bottom lip. She suddenly felt conscious that she was bare underneath him, in the middle of… something and he was in detective mode. She opened her mouth to ask him what was bothering him when he suddenly sighed and brushed his fingers through his hair, mussing his already tangled hair that she caused.
Finally looking at her, there was a weird expression on his face that she couldn’t put a finger on. But she didn’t need to figure that out, his next words were the answer.
“I think Kazuha-chan saw us.” He whispered.
At first the words didn’t register to her. Admittedly, she was still sluggish from the sensations she was feeling earlier. But when her slow mind processed what he meant, her already red face turned darker as her heart pounded.
“W-what?” she stammered, wanting so desperately for Shinichi to retract his words and tell her he was just joking. But the apologetic smile in the crease of his eyebrows told her otherwise.
“I heard her. I think she saw us.”
Her mind was racing and she suddenly felt self-conscious. Kazuha-chan had seen them? Doing… doing-! But what if it wasn’t Kazuha-chan, what if it was Hattori-kun? And he saw them in a compromising situation. Her upper body was bare! Shinichi should be the only male to see her like this!
Suddenly Shinichi’s expression changed into panic. Well, she was on the verge of crying and she pretty much felt her blood draining with the prospect of Hattori-kun seeing them so given that he was a great detective, she knew he likely deduced her thoughts.
“I swear to you, Ran. It was Kazuha-chan. Not Hattori.”
“How do you know?” she asked, hating how her voice were cracking as tears collected in the corner of her eyes.
“Footstep pattern. I heard the shoji click and the padding of the foot on the floor. No matter how careful you are, you’ll always have a certain pattern on how to walk. And I can tell. Trust me, Ran. If ever I had even a little doubt that it was Hattori and not Kazuha-chan, I would kick him in the face. I’d never compromise your modesty.”
It was the seriousness in his voice and the intensity of his gaze that convinced her. The fear in her heart disappeared just like that. She was really thankful for it.
Still, Kazuha-chan seeing them? Embarrassing.
Sighing, Ran put her hands over his bare chest and pushed.
“Okay. But I have to talk to Kazuha-chan tomorrow. I hope we didn’t offend her.”
A humorous and a mocking incredulous expression crossed his features.
“Offended her? She’s the one who peeped at us! I dunno, Ran. But your friend’s getting curious. I can pick up from Hattori that they haven’t slept together so if anything, she might be curious and ask you about these things.“
It was obvious that he was not offended but his teasing was not appreciated so she smacked his chest and pushed him.
But he would not budge. It also made her flustered to be aware that they were still connected.
She once again pushed him but Shinichi just raised an eyebrow at her.
“What are you doing?” he asked, as if he didn’t know what she was trying to accomplish.
“I really don’t want to continue, Shinichi.” She explained and once again tried to push him off but he would just not budge.
“What? No! I’ll die if we stop.”
Ran rolled her eyes from his exaggeration. He was always saying that when he was being ‘neglected’.
“You’re overacting. And I don’t really want to continue anymore.”
A feral smiled formed on his lips and Ran felt the familiar warmth starting to brew in her belly.
“Really?” he drawled and without a warning, moved, making her hyper aware of him being inside her.
But her words were lodged in her throat as he moved again.
“Give it up, Ran. I know your body well enough to know if you really don’t want to and if you really want to. And right now…” he moved again, faster, deeper. “you really really want me.”
Whatever she was going to say was swallowed by his lips and tongue. She wanted to protest because he was teasing her and being unfair by overwhelming her.
But then again, she didn’t mind.
After all, this was what she wanted.
She just had to talk to Kazuha-chan tomorrow.
I wanted to thank my girl @purplellamanator for proof reading this drabble. SBIB’s on its way. I was just getting distracted by some one shots that I want to write. But, I will never abandon it. :)
