[~1700 Words]
As Eri awoke early the following morning, she found Takuya lying beside her, his warm presence still lingering in the air.
It had been ten years since her separation from Mouri Kogoro, and Eri had grown accustomed to living alone in this quiet residence.
Despite the modern amenities at her disposal, including central heating during the winter months, a sense of coldness persisted within her.
Eri's gaze fell upon Takuya's sleeping form, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia.
His presence was reassuring, and for a moment, she felt at peace.
However, she knew that their relationship remained ambiguous, and she was still a married woman. Eri pushed these thoughts aside as she watched Takuya stir from his slumber.
Takuya sat up, wrapping his arms around Eri's shoulders before planting a tender kiss upon her lips, leaving behind a purple hickey mark. The gesture was a thoughtful gesture, one that Eri appreciated given her earlier gift of hickeys.
"I have to go now," Takuya whispered. "Time for work."
Eri quickly regained composure, pushing aside the lingering warmth of Takuya's touch as she strode out of bed with purpose.
Takuya stood in front of the dresser, carefully selecting each item of his attire to look presentable. His eyes drifted towards the doorway leading to the adjacent room, where Eri lay on the bed, her stunning figure displayed in all its glory.
Her nude upper body was a sight to behold, with full breasts that seemed to defy gravity, their curves accentuated by her slender frame. Her nipples stood out, pink and inviting, drawing Takuya's gaze inexorably towards them.
Eri's lower body, however, remained hidden beneath a white bed sheet, which only served to heighten the sense of mystery surrounding her.
As he watched, Eri's eyes met his, her loving expression piercing through him like a gentle breeze on a summer day. A soft smile played upon her lips, and Takuya felt his heart respond in kind, swelling with emotion as he took in the sight before him.
Takuya's eyes locked onto Eri's, and with a subtle smile, he began his approach towards the bed. His movements were deliberate, each step measured as if savoring the moment. As he reached the bedside, Takuya leaned in, his lips meeting Eri's in a deep, passionate kiss.
Eri's arms wrapped around him, holding him close as their mouths moved in perfect rythm.
The kiss was intense, filled with emotion and desire, but also a sense of longing that seemed to transcend mere physical intimacy. It was as if they were both searching for something more, something that went beyond the surface level of their relationship.
As they broke apart for air, Eri's eyes sparkled with tears, her gaze shining brightly with love. Takuya smiled softly, his lips still inches from hers, and whispered a gentle "goodbye" into her ear.
Eri nodded, her smile faltering for a moment before she found the strength to speak. "Be careful," she whispered back, her voice barely audible over the pounding of their hearts.
Takuya's eyes never left Eri's face as he took one last look at her. He reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, his fingers grazing her skin like a whisper. It was a fleeting moment of tenderness that spoke volumes about their love.
With one final glance, Takuya turned away from the bed, his movements deliberate as he began to dress in his police uniform. Eri watched him go, her eyes never leaving his back as he disappeared into the hallway beyond.
The door creaked softly shut behind him, plunging the room back into silence. Eri lay on the bed for a moment, lost in thought, before she finally found the strength to speak aloud. "I love you," she whispered into the empty air, her voice barely above a whisper.
As the words faded away, Eri's expression softened, a gentle smile playing upon her lips as she settled back onto the pillow, surrounded by the quiet of the bedroom.
Takuya hastily exited was a testament to his concern for maintaining appearances.
Eri understood that if he lingered, their proximity might raise suspicions among others and her neighbors who will question their relationship.
Following her shower, Eri stood before the mirror, taking in her reflection. A cluster of red hickeys adorned her face and neck. Her thoughts turned to Ran Mouri, who would undoubtedly struggle to understand this development should she become aware of it.
Eri's expression softened as she acknowledged that her charm still had an impact on those around her, including Takuya.
She felt a sense of satisfaction at having maintained her allure, even if the circumstances surrounding their relationship remained complicated.
Meanwhile, at his office, Takuya sat idle throughout the day, his mind preoccupied with the impending plot developments in their world.
The timeline was stable for now, but he harboured concerns about potential disruptions once the story progressed.
Conan's (Kudo Shinichi) current predicament, having been transported back to elementary school, added another layer of complexity to their situation.
Takuya leaned against his desk, eyes closed as if lost in contemplation. In actuality, he had become exhausted and was napping, not knowing that others may perceive his behaviors as him in meditation.
Following his promotion to Inspector and following numerous high-profile case resolutions, Takuya no longer needed to personally handle minor matters.
His coworkers, notably Miwako, were frequently swamped with work, making the Metropolitan Police Department exceptionally busy.
If circumstances permitted, Takuya would have liked to pursue a romantic relationship with Miwako.
However, he was aware that such an approach would be considered as unprofessional, so he chose to be subtle in his dealings with her.
After a brief respite, Takuya accessed Miyano Akemi's system and issued a new task to the her System.
Eri's problem had been largely resolved, and he planned to stay at her house more often as long as she was amiable.
Within a couple of weeks or this month, their relationship was bound to result in pregnancy.
Pregnancy, of course, brought its own set of rewards.
At this point, Takuya turned his attention to Miyano Akemi in an attempt to persuade her to conceive for him.
Given his family dynamics, having children would be a significant boon.
In order to facilitate this goal, Takuya needed Miyano Akemi to visit him at home first.
The next day, following a night's rest, Miyano Akemi logged onto her computer and began browsing job listings online.
Because of her particular situation, she frequently found herself leaving positions too soon, requiring frequent job changes. Thankfully, she was able to maintain her academic credentials because of her affiliation with Professor Hirota using her Alias as Hirota Masami.
Akemi's educational background wasn't on par with that of her sister Shiho, but it was still respectable, having certificate from a prestigious university. Her extensive work experience also made it easier for her to secure ordinary positions, even if she did change jobs frequently.
[Ding, your lover Fujiwara Takuya is concerned about the size of his Manor and its maintenance, so he wants to apply for a maid position. The monthly salary is generous, at 5 million yen.]
The proposed salary was naturally set by Takuya with Akemi in mind. Given her current circumstances, this offer was certainly enticing.
However, Akemi felt a surge of anger upon receiving the notification. Why was she still haunted by Takuya? Her system appeared to have been compromised.
The generous salary and promise of mission rewards proved too great for Miyano Akemi to resist.
Despite her initial hesitation, she eventually decided to become Officer Fujiwara's maid.
In the evening, following her work hours, Miyano Akemi stood by his Manor's entrance, waiting for Takuya's arrival in his Porsche. When he pulled up, she quickly approached the window and greeted him. "I'm here to apply for the maid position," she stated matter-of-factly.
Takuya smiled as he opened the car door, envisioning various ways to embarrass Akemi during her interview.
However, it was clear that his intentions were far from genuine; his target had always been Akemi herself. Many individuals would gladly accept this lucrative job offer, and he had no qualms about choosing her specifically.
Miyano Akemi couldn't help but take in the sumptuous furnishings as soon as she walked into the villa. "This is quite amazing," she said, admiring the size of his Manor.
Takuya nodded in agreement as he gently led Akemi inside.
The idea of employing a maid had not been advertised on any housekeeping websites; it was only an excuse to get her on his property. Everything else was irrelevant as long as she agreed to come to him.
As they walked through the mansion, Miyano Akemi found herself intrigued by its size and luxury. It wasn't quite comparable to those majestic manors she had seen in the past, but this residence was undoubtedly a symbol of wealth and status.
She couldn't help but think that would be an excellent backdrop for her future if she can also become a police officer.
Are the Police Officers so Rich nowadays?
Takuya's wealth didn't appear to go with his work as a police officer. Miyano Akemi began to question whether she, too, could hope for such success in the future—possibly by joining the police force. Takuya's offer of a spot of tea and invitation to sit down for their talk was the only thing that broke her reverie.
[That's all for Now]
