Rei Furuya | Qing You

Detective Conan fanfiction, BG romance

A school story about Rei Furuya

++++++Oh no, oh no! My dad teaches Japanese in this school's high school division. He used his status as a senior teacher to get me placed in the honors class, insisted that I give a speech as the student representative at the entrance ceremony, and even got the top student in our grade assigned as my desk mate!

++++++My desk mate is Rei Furuya. I tug on his arm and ask him to teach me how to solve problems, but when we first met, he was so polite. As we got to know each other, he started getting a little shameless. Once, he told me to wait for him at the tennis courts while he trained. I sat on a bench with a blank expression as I watched him play, handing him water and a towel from time to time. The outdoor court was so wide open there wasn't a single patch of shade. After just over an hour, my thighs, covered by my uniform skirt, and my exposed calves had tanned to different shades. If I'd stayed out any longer, I might have ended up with the same skin tone as Rei Furuya. Later, Hiromitsu saw me and laughed at me for it. Rei and I gave each other the cold shoulder for a whole week over that.

++++++...

++++++After a long, unrequited crush, I finally confessed. But our relationship really isn't like those of other teenage couples. My dad is my high school's Japanese teacher, which means at least eighty percent of the staff know me. Wherever I go, I run into people I used to warmly call "Uncle" or "Auntie," and now I have to smile, bow, and say, "Good morning, teacher."

++++++So Rei and I have to be pretty cunning about our relationship.

++++++For example, when we're secretly holding hands at school, Rei Furuya, with his incredible ability to detect anyone approaching, immediately lets go and keeps his distance from me as soon as he spots someone who looks like a teacher coming from a hundred meters away.

++++++After school, Hiromitsu, Rei, and I all head home in the same direction. At the fork in the road, when it's time to split up, we linger and keep Hiromitsu talking. Once we see no one is nearby, I quickly rise onto my tiptoes and steal a kiss from Rei.

++++++On rainy days, I always pretend I forgot my umbrella, then deliberately squeeze in beside Rei and cling to his sturdy arm as we step around puddle after puddle.

++++++...

++++++Even years later, I keep looking back and sighing. If only time could have stood still back then...

Please note:

* This is a self-indulgent story, with both bitter and sweet moments.

* The teenage Rei Furuya in my story has a rather awkward personality. In some ways, he's not very likable and is out of character. He's not the all-capable, mature, highly intelligent and handsome undercover agent who's 29 in the manga! This story follows his and the heroine's bumpy journey as they grow up.

* There is smut. The complete first release is on a certain old site, that one starting with F, as well as Sakurai, Fish Ball, Zhi Zhi, and Gu Gu.

* 40,000 words are already written, but the story isn't finished. Updates will be irregular, so please leave comments and interact with me!

* The Police Academy crew and Shuichi Akai will show up later to help out~
