“Uh…” Was it really that weird to hide it? After all, C-ta had said so blatantly that this sort of agreement was under tentative reasoning, so announcing it to the public only to fall back on it… wouldn’t that be bad for both of them? Work would be awkward, and people would regard them strangely, therefore…
“I think… with these grounds, I want to make sure I really like you before we tell anyone… does that make sense?”
Somehow that made Shinichi’s heart pound with excitement. How.. cute. C-ta never ceased to be adorable. It took Shinichi a moment to recover from that, his gaze elsewhere as he took a breath and calmed down.
“Yeah, it does.” He answered, although it didn’t. Pretty much the whole force figured something romantic was going on between them. Heck, Haibara even put condoms in his office’s drawer. Not… that he was aware of that for future purposes or anything. “That is fine by me. Whatever makes you feel comfortable.”
