Slightly short and slightly silly, but I hope you enjoy it!
He was staring.
And Eri was getting nervous.
It wasn’t even so much that her estranged husband was staring at her-far from it. It was more that his eyes kept drifting to a certain place. A place where his eyes should certainly not be so fixated. His scrutiny was getting a bit uncomfortable.
“What are you looking at?” she finally snapped.
He jerked back as though he’d been stung. “Well, I…you…”
“Anata-“ her tone turned warning.
Kogoro swallowed hard and turned away. “You have a stain…on your shirt.”
Eri blinked once, twice, three times a lady before looking down at herself. Sure enough, she’d somehow managed to spill coffee on herself at some point and not notice it. Even worse, the stain was at just the right spot to draw attention to…
Oh dear.
Suddenly self-conscious, she tugged at the lapels of her blazer to pull them over the offending spot. “Thank you for telling me. I didn’t know,” she said carefully. A nice, safe reply.

Yay! This was great. XD I love how Eri managed to reel herself in at the end; after all, if she scolded him she'd have to admit feeling weird about it! And this was true drabble glory. "Eri blinked once, twice, three times [a lady]"--that won the Internet.

Kogoro grunted, but said nothing else.
