For the prompts, Aoko x Shinichi? :)
Maybe she shouldnāt put him up on a pedestal. Aoko had done so for years with Kaito and only opened herself up for heartbreak, knows now that she should never throw that kind of power out to someone else.
And yet she canāt help herself.
Aoko canāt. Just the thought of Kudo Shinichiās smile leaves warmth on her cheeks. Imagining his dimples leaves her faint, cheeks burning hotter and hotter.
He is, after all, the one whoās gotten closest to catching KID. Closer than her father even, no matter how difficult it can be sometimes to admit, and Aoko canāt help but be impressed, to have a crush on him.
(It also doesnāt help that heās stunning. Please, those legs? The way his lips quirk upwards into what can only be described as a perfect smile? Heās got a jawline of a god and just⦠Aoko needs to stop thinking.)
āNakamori-san,ā Shinichi says now,Ā ādid you hear me?ā
He looks almost nervous, and Aoko flushes, because really she should be listening to him, rather than daydreaming about him shirtless.
āOh, Iām sorry,ā she says, offering an apologetic smile.Ā āI was off in a daydream. Would you repeat that?ā
Now his nervousness intensifies.
āI was just, uh.ā Shinichi takes a moment to swallow his nervousness down. āJust wondering if you wanted to catch a movie some time?ā
Oh - Aoko really shouldnāt be putting him on that pedestal. But she does.
