#//HE'S SO SWEET!!!

[gorescreamingshow]

he's listening and learning

[despairs-memorial]

"Ah, Sayaka-senpai!" Shuichi waves her down to catch her attention. He asked her earlier if she wouldn't mind meeting in the dorm commons area, as it usually was pretty empty around this time of day. When she comes closer to sit down, his smile brightens.

"Thank you for coming, I know I had asked you so suddenly... but yes, Merry Christmas! I hope you've been having a nice one so far! Ah, s-so um...! I wanted to give you a couple of gifts I thought you might like... and, if it's not too much trouble... some I wanted to give to Kyoko-senpai as well, but I know she's been very busy with work, so I was not sure when I would have the chance to give her them.. I thought maybe you'll most likely see her soon, since you're classmates. I truly hope it won't be any trouble...!" With how kind his senior detective always was to him, never allowing him to compare himself to her as a means of downplaying his own skills; he wanted to express his gratitude in the form of gifts he hopes she will like... and of course, wanting to give Sayaka some nice things because of how much of a sweet and wonderful friend she is, too!

"Here you go... ! The blue gift bag is for you, and the purple will be for her. I don't mind if you want to see what I got her, too, hehe. But yes, I hope you'll love your gifts...!" In Sayaka's bag, she will first have a light blue, cableknit cardigan sweater with white heart-shaped buttons and a blue beret-shaped hat, along with a mini purse with a pink bow on it to match with the sweater! That, and there was also a mini dessert box inside, containing a big, fluffy vanilla cupcake, topped with vanilla bean frosting and a strawberry slice. "U-Um, when I was shopping, I saw that sweater, hat, and purse and thought.. maybe it's something you might like to wear altogether? A-At least, I hope I got your sense of style right! You always wear nice clothes, s-so I wanted to give you something I thought would look great on you, too, h-hehe... and then I wanted to make you a little something, too. I hope you'll like the cupcake...!"

Then in Kyoko's bag, if Sayaka does want to see: it's three special edition books from Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot series, a bag of civet coffee and a coffee mug with a black bow wrapped around it.. and then for her, Shuichi made a chocolate cupcake with milk chocolate frosting, topped with a raspberry. "I thought, maybe, when she actually has time to rest, she can unwind with some books and this coffee.. and then I wanted to make her a little something, too.. She always works so hard, she deserves it. And so do you, Sayaka-senpai; I'm sure you'll probably be super busy with idol work again, soon, but until then, I hope you can continue to just relax yourself and have fun.." He tells her, smiling softly.. (sORRY THIS IS A BIT LATE, BUT SHUICHI HAD TO GIVE SMTH TO HIS WONDERFUL SENPAIS, TOOO!!!)

While she had a feeling about what this was about given the season and how generous Shuichi always was, Sayaka would have came even if she didn't have any clue. He was such a sweet person, it was difficult to say no to him, especially when he just asked her to come visit him.

"Of course, Merry Christmas to you, too. I've been doing great, though it's even better after getting a chance to talk to you." Even if he wasn't currently giving her a gift, she would have thought that his company made it better. He was always such a good friend to her. It really warmed her heart. "Of course, I'll be sure to give it to her the moment that she gets back. Hehe, I suspect that the moment that she gets it, she'll be hunting you down to thank you in person, so you better prepare for that."

Taking the two bags, she smiles as she looks at the blue one. "Aw, thanks so much! I appreciate this a lot." Opening it, she can't help but gasp a bit in surprise by how thoughtful the gifts in it were. The sweater looked so soft, and with the beret and purse along with a pink skirt that she had? She could easily coordinate something cute to just enjoy wearing rather than for any shoot, and the cupcake? How often did she get to just have sweets on her diet again? It wasn't often, but something that looked that delicious and was made by one of her kohai? There was no way that she could possibly not savor every bite of it.

"This all looks incredible! Thank you so much, Shuichi. Hehe, this will go perfectly with the hair clips you got me, too. I think they'd really tie it all together! And I'm sure I'll love the cupcake. It's not everyday I can have sweets and it being from you will make it all the more special." She does look in Kyoko's bag, curious about what it is, before grinning a bit. Sayaka can tell just how much Kyoko would enjoy getting it.

"Oh definitely. You picked out everything perfectly. Hehe, I'm sure she's going to be so happy to get this and actually relax a bit for a change of pace with this."

Sure enough, when Kyoko did get the gift, she was eager to start brewing a cup of the coffee to have in her new mug while eating the cupcake and reading one of the books, but first, she went to go find Shuichi, eager to tell him just how much she appreciated the gift in person along with invite him to share the batch of coffee with her. While it would be relaxing to have it alone, getting to have coffee with her kohai and share stories of their cases together sounded rather nice to her.

Can you imagine Simon finding out he’s going to be a dad?

He’d be gone on a mission when you realize, your period is late. You’d pass it off as stress related until you start feeling sick, getting these weird cravings of things you detested.

So you’d take a test and gasp five minutes later when it comes back positive. Now, you know Simon didn’t want kids just yet. He wanted to wait just a little longer. Wanted to buy you your dream house so he could fill it with little angels.

You’d spend your days in his clothes, stressing how you’d break the news to him. Even thinking of keeping it hidden for a while. That is, until he came home.

See, when he was on his mission, he had such a close call with death and it was different than the other times. Usually he’d stare death in the face and tell him to piss off but he was too close to breaking his promise of coming back to you.

You’d always make him promise to come back to you. In one piece preferably. His last run in with the shadowy figure made him open his eyes.

So when he’d come home, he dropped his bags and immediately went to seek you out, beginning to panic when he didn’t see you anywhere in the house. He’d call out your name, waiting for a response but got nothing in return.

He pull out his phone to call you but he heard the front door open, your cursing as you struggle with the many bags. He’d sigh in relief and immediately help you, chuckling as he startled you.

You’d jump and shriek because why is there a man in your house but then- oh.. it’s your husband.. oh okay.

Wait-

It’s your husband!

You’d gasp and drop the bags, hugging him tightly and he’d hug you back even tighter. You both mutter how much you both missed each other before he’d pull away, looking down at you.

Something was different.

He’d hug you again just to see what it was but couldn’t for the life of him figure it out. He pushed it to the back of his mind as you began recapping your day and asking about his mission as you both put the groceries away.

You were putting away the dairy when he stopped responding so you turned to him, freezing when he saw a few baby items. He picked up a pacifier and looked at you.

…

…

It was silent before you sighed softly and looked away nervously, not knowing how to just say ‘I’m pregnant’

He stared at you, waiting for an explanation but when you were silent, he approached you “sweetheart…” he’d mumble softly in his grumbly voice.

You’d look up at him, nervousness clear in your eyes as he asked “you’re carrying..?”

You’d nod your head and look away, not seeing his eyes light up. True he did want to wait but he’s always wanted kids with you. That just meant he’d have to do things sooner but that’s okay. Anything for his wife.

He’d take you in his arms and hold you tightly as he asked “how far along?”

You’d bury your face in his chest for a moment before speaking “two months…”

He’d be shocked but he’d be happy. His arms would tighten around you and he’d be smiling as his chin rested on your head. He was excited that he would be a father. Worried he wouldn’t be a good one but he had you. And you two could conquer the world together let alone parenthood.

He’d pull away when you ask “you’re not mad?” He’d look at you and kiss you in response. He wasn’t mad at all. He’d do anything for you and his baby.
