Cherreads

Chapter 9 - Thing For Blonds

‎"Amuro-san's type?" everyone inside the cafe wondered.

‎"Well...you see, I went to a party a few days ago with Toru and some girls were eyeing him. I tried to cheer him on but he just glared at me. So I'm kinda curious...what about you Azusa-san?" Luna said.

‎"Me? Why me?" Azusa confusingly asked.

‎"Uhh, well I thought you were dating him that's why he got angry...", the red haired woman said while her chin rested on her hands.

‎"No, no that's not happening not in this life, not in the next, not in any universe...", Azusa answered with a straight face.

‎"Really, uhh my bad hehe...", Luna awkwardly said as she noticed Azusa's expression.

‎"I don't blame Luna-san for saying that though, they do look like they were dating but I know for sure that they aren't", Sonoko added.

‎Everyone agreed with her.

‎"Well, I do remember that Toru seemed to have a thing with blonds." Luna sighed.

‎"Oh, how unexpected...by the way can you tell us now?" Ran said.

‎"Tell you what?" Luna blinked.

‎"How did you and Amuro-san meet?" Sonoko cheerfully eyed her. Luna tried to ask for help but it was hopeless. Everyone is looking at her with excited eyes, even Haibara seemed interested. She could only sigh.

‎"It wasn't really a very nice story but...it was a rainy day. I just saw him slumped in an alley looking sad and dejected. It was weird...it felt like something was telling me to comfort him. Before I knew it, I already walked towards him, using my umbrella to shield him from the rain. I smiled at him and asked for his name. We grew closer for a year and you know, we just relied on each other. Well, you could say that I relied on him more than I should have. I was attached, so attached that it was scary...well let's just forget the rest, that was all there is to it really." She narrated as everyone looked at each other with the same conclusion in mind.

‎"You love him!" Everyone shouted, Luna blushed and panicked, gesturing for others to be quiet as Amuro walked inside the store.

‎"What's wrong?" Amuro asked as he felt a not so uncomfortable tension within the cafe.

‎"It's...n-no-nothing...", Luna said still blushing as the others giggled, Amuro stayed confused.

‎...

‎"Earlier at the cafe...did you go back to France when you felt like you can never return to being friends with him?" Haibara asked the red haired driver.

‎Luna fell silent, Conan who heard it looked outside the window as the rain poured, the three kids were sleeping soundly beside him.

‎"Let's call it a smart escape, shall we. Do you remember what I said earlier, about him having a thing with blonds?" The car went silent again.

‎"It is a fact, but him having a thing with blonds doesn't really bother me. It's the person who owns the blond locks who does. It's not the color, it's the person. Don't tell this to anyone but when Toru was little he had a little admiration for a blond doctor, he didn't have a chance of course. It was just a childhood crush. I don't know but maybe that became the first reason for him having a thing with blonds. But that's not the main point of my little escape, when I met Toru he had this picture, a beautiful blond girl with blue eyes. I didn't know who it was but looking at the frame, it was treasured. Whenever Toru looked at that image, he would wear a very warm but sad expression. I also saw love from his eyes. That is when I know that he wouldn't look at me that way. So I...disappeared." Luna uttered.

‎"You're an idiot", Haibara whispered.

‎Luna chuckled, "I won't argue with that".

The car sped up as silence engulfed the whole space. Haibara looked outside the window while the red haired woman smiled bitterly.
