Work Text:
Late in the night, in a basement that was turned into a laboratory, a lone figure is there. A young woman focused on her work. The only sounds that can be heard is the harmonized beeping and humming of equipments and the occasional sound of typing on her computer.
She continued her work till her concentration had been broken by the shrill sound of her phone ringing. Without bothering to look at the caller, she answered and let out an exasperated sigh. “I know I’m good, but I’m not that good Kudo.”
“So you don't know how long it will take to get results?” he asked
“I’m running the analysis with the new software Professor had created for us.” she replied as she briskly types on the computer. “ I should have the results in 3-4 hours.”
“3 to 4 hours.” He mumbled to himself, before changing the subject.
“Have you eaten yet?”
Shiho paused for a moment and glanced at the corner of her computer; It is quarter past 10. “I’m not hungry. I’m still trying to fin-“
“I’m coming over.” Kudo had cut her off and hanged up the phone.
She sighed and tried to finish as much work as possible, knowing that as soon as the detective had arrived she wont get any work done.

By the time Kudo had arrived at her lab, Shiho had completed most of her work, and the only thing that is needed to be done is wait for computer to do its magic, and tell her the components of the mysterious substance. After setting her laptop to receive the reports, they quickly headed up to to enjoy the chinese food.
“You really shouldn’t skip meals Miyano.” Kudo scolded her as he helped set the table for the food that he brought over.
“Maybe Im on a diet Kudo.” She fired back, quickly falling into their playful bickering.
“You have no need for that.”
An eye roll is her only answer to his words.
“I mean it.” he approached her. “You’re perfect just the way you are.” he pulled her by the waist.
“Have you been hanging out with your CI again?” she replied, but made no resistance against him.
He left out a soft chuckle before he leans in to kiss her, and she wraps her arms around him.

An obnoxious loud beeping from her laptop woke Shiho from her sleep. She carefully tried to detangled her limbs from Kudo’s limbs to check the results from her laptop.
“Mmm… Do you have to check it now?” Shinichi groggily asked her as he tightened his hold on her.
“I thought you need it as soon as possible?” she replied.
“I changed my mind.” He placed kisses on her shoulder “ the case had been cold for 10 years, one more night wouldn't hurt.”
Shiho was about to protest when she quickly became aware of Shinichi’s growing arousal. “You’re the worst.” she moaned as he grinded his hips against hers.
“Mhmm.” He softly hummed and got on top of her to slowly worship her and finally make love to her.

Like clockwork, Shiho was already up before the sun is. She was making a fresh cups of coffee when the phone on the table started ringing. It’s Shinichi. She picked up the phone and gently woke up Shinichi. “Your wife is calling.” She told him and handed the phone.
Still not fully awake, he gave short answers to the phone. “Yes?” Okay.” “I’ll be there.” And then hung up the phone.
He glared at Shiho, who have a playful smile on her face. “Stop telling me that my wife is calling me.”
“Was that not your wife?” She asked as she poured coffee for him.
“I don’t have a wife.” He accepted the cup of joe.
“Oh?” She handed him cream and sugar. “I thought you were married to your work.”
He put the sugar and cream down and held Shiho’s hand. “You’re the one I want to marry.”
She blushed and pulled her hand away from him. “Are you proposing on a whim?”
“Shit.” He mumbled as he scrambled to look for his discarded jacket. “Aha!” He pulled out a ring.
A soft smile is on her face as Shinichi got on his knees, with no pants, and proposed to her. “Shiho Miyano, will you marry me?”
“I would still have said yes, even without the ring.”
