"Fragile Flower" {Detective Conan x Reader}

Chapter 3 *❃The Weather Lady Abduction Case❃*

Aurora's POV

I sat quietly on the couch, here in Mouri-san's agency and manage to master some hand techniques in self-defense. "And done. We're done for today..."

"I still can't get the knot technique right. Thank you by the way, Akari-san! I owe you one. I just feel like everywhere I go, something happens..." I muttered, but she heard me.

"Danger instincts? Wow, girl~ It seems like you are getting way too serious about this. Any reason behind all this sudden training with me?" Akari, from the phone, finally asked before a sigh escape from my lips.

"Nothing special. Just don't want anyone jumping in front of me just to save my gut all the time..." I grumbled.

~Flashback~

"I told you not to run around so suddenly, Conan-kun. You worry me and Aurora-chan so much!" Ran scolded as I bend on the kid's level to raise my arm for a high-five, to which he giggle and gladly granted my wish in return. Even if I'm worried, I'm still proud.

"Aurora! Don't support him! He is just a kid!" The karate girl added before I sweat awkwardly. "Gomene~ But admit it, he did a great job heping Mouri-san on the case~ Isn't that right, Conan-kun?" I defended between my laugh and heard him hum in agreement, making Ran sigh and facepalm, followed by the murderer tripping out of the blue.

"Hey, you alright?" I thought it was really clumsy of him, but to what I didn't expect to happen next, everything went blurry when I saw him running to me with a maniac smile and a sharp knife.

"Move!!!" He ordered before I saw red everywhere. I scream at his attack before Conan unexpectedly move in front of me, taking the hit instead. My mind went back to my worst nightmare as I heard him grunted in pain. I kick that bastard away out of terror from us and caught the kid before he even hit the ground.

"Namabuchi!" Ran and Kazuha used their karate skills to twist the murderer's arms and pinned him down straight at the floor. "Conan-kun!" I cried as I cautiously lay him down. "C-Conan-kun, just h-hold on right t-there--C-Conan-kun!" I pleaded as I watch him hold his stomach.

"I-I'm fine, o-o... n-nee-chan..." he winced painfully. Do you know... the feeling of getting attach so easily, then they suddenly get hurt for protecting you? It was my literal nightmare of everyone falling on the floor because of me. My view began the shake and all I could hear was my rapid heart beating again.

"S-Someone... call an ambulance! Hurry!" Ran ordered.

"D-Daijobou... It's just a s-scratch..." Conan insisted as he carefully sit up.

"EXCUSE ME?!? That knife--"

"Heiji-niichan's amulet! He let me borrow it so it protected me! Look! It must be this key inside! That's why the knife didn't go through! So please breathe! I'm okay!" He mention before Ran could even finish. Mouri-san sigh in relief after that. "Good grief..." the girls reminded before his nervousness faltered at my silence and blank glare.

It was not funny anymore... What if that key was never there... What if it actually create a hole from that spot...What could have happen to him...

"Onee-chan..." he called, catching me off my thoughts before I slowly lift my head to him, still upset at his 3 seconds life-risking decision. The boy just release a small apologetic smile and muffled the word 'Gomene' like how Coral did. Feeling nostalgic at the dejá vu scenario, I pull him close to my embrace and sob silently for the second time at his shoulder.

"You k-kids are t-terrible... Scaring me like that..."

"Onee-chan... did you know... I... I didn't mean to?"
