How much he had missed holding her in his arms, until now it had been rather rare, but if he ever had such an opportunity, then he had enjoyed it too. Shinichi vowed not to break his promise under any circumstances, no matter what happened this time, he would talk to Ran about it and he would not leave her alone for so long again because of a case."I love you, Shinichi," Ran said with a slight stutter. The girl just felt comfortable in his arms, she already suspected that it was not a dream and yet she was not entirely sure about it.
"Ran", Shinichi softly breathed the name of his girlfriend into his ear. She shouldn't cry anymore, decisive, but still gently, he pulled Ran's child up a little. Then he bothered to wipe her tears away and to make sure that she would not cry anymore.
Slowly and hesitantly Shinichi put his lips on Ran's. She should know that he was being honest with her and that he was ready for anything. His and her lips on each other were the sign of a common beginning of their love.
