I always had the same problem: Ai or Ayumi? Ayumi or Ai? Ayumi and Ai?

The curse of every man is to think about love. Ayumi and I have been friends for ages so you know I like her, right? But I can't explain it to myself with Ai: I haven't known her as long as Ayumi, but that's the feeling that attracts me. What's this? Your maturity? Your appearance? Or something else?

But that doesn't matter now. Ever since Ais and Conan's secret was revealed that she would never accept me ... because she is 20 and I am still a kid. But that's okay, so I can now devote myself entirely to Ayumi.

I'm trying to show her my feelings, but she doesn't seem to understand. I would do anything to make her satisfied and happy: buy her drinks, help her with her homework, and me and her and her friends go shopping and carry their bags without complaining. Sometimes she is really moody and screams for no reason, but I never disagree with her and I hope that she will notice something.I don't know if she really doesn't notice the hints or just pretends to be.

I read somewhere that girls like it when a boy follows her and gives presents. I mean, is Ayumi one of those girls who like that?

Shinichi told me the worst thing you can do is keep a girl waiting. He probably means the time when he had to live as Conan.

Maybe Ayumi was waiting.

Wait for me to tell her.

To see Shinichi and Ran walking down the red carpet gave me courage: If Shinichi and Ran managed to get together with their sandpit love despite so many difficulties, so can I. I went over to Ayumi.

"Hey Ayumi?"

"Hmm?" Was her reply. She looked dreamily over at Shinichi and Ran, who were kissing.

"Can I speak to you right away?"

"Hmm, yeah ... oh, aren't they cute?"

"Epilog"

The two youngsters went out into the fields and under the clear starry sky."So what's up?" Asked Ayumi.

"Uh ..." Mitsuhiko hesitated. "Um, so you know ... we're together, I mean, you know, friends for ages and ..." He looked at Ayumi. She smiled.

"Keep talking," she said.

"So, you know, we are no longer small ... I mean we are teenagers and yes ... you know ... um ... most ..."

"Going out?" She finished his sentence.

"Yes.", Mitsuhiko nodded, slightly embarrassed. "So ... I thought, uh ... I was wondering if you ... if you like ... yes."

Although Mitsuhiko hadn't said what he meant, Ayumi knew what he wanted to ask. After all, she had known him for 14 years.

She smiled again and nodded. "Yes, Mitsuhiko."

“What?” He couldn't believe his ears.

"I said 'yes'," she repeated. "That means' yes-I'll-go-out-with-you-and-am-your-girlfriend."

Mitsuhiko was speechless for a moment. "W-w-really?" Was all he managed to get out.

"Really.", Ayumi smiled.

At the festival, Heiji, Kazuha and Sonoko made jokes about what Shinichi and Ran would do that night, which embarrassed Shinichi.When Shinichi turned away, smiling, he saw two teenagers coming back hand in hand.
