Better Late Than Never...? || Ino
He didn't have school or any cases that day so he was able to sleep in, something he hasn't been able to do in a long time. However, when he finally did wake up, around two in the afternoon, he found he didn't have any more coffee. Of course things just couldn't work out perfectly, something just had to be wrong.
Though he supposed things could have been worse. All he had to do was got to the cafe to get some coffee and then stock up on more on the way home. Unfortunately by the time he got to the cafe, it was overflowing with people. Sighing and getting in line, the detective prepared himself for a long wait. It was late in the afternoon and a good twenty minutes since he woke up, but he just couldn't fully function without his coffee.
While he was waiting he spotted blond hair out of the corner of his eye. Turning to the person automatically, he saw Ino, the girl who was excited about her birthday a few days ago. Shinichi felt a bit of guilt creep up on him for not wishing the girl a happy birthday on her actual birthday, but it wasn't his fault really. He didn't even make it to school that day since a case held him up for most of the day. So it really, really wasn't his fault or anything...
After watching the girl for a bit longer, he sighed before getting out of line, just two spaces before his turn, and went to talk with Ino. Why, he wasn't sure. He didn't even know the girl that well, but he still felt a bit bad for missing her birthday.
Once he reached the other, he stopped and scratched his cheek awkwardly. Why did he think this was a good idea... "Ahh, hey...so...how was your birthday?"
