Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya

Relationship analysis

Mitsuhiko develops heavy romantic feelings for Ai, and Ai is aware of this. Ai uses his feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also does admire his courage during missions the Detective Boys must perform and respects his feelings. Ai hasn't shown any romantic feelings for him, but she slightly admires his knowledge. Haibara seems to like tempting Mitsuhiko or making fun of him. She also in some episodes showed more confidence with Mitsuhiko than with Ayumi or Genta. Their "love" could be called "puppy love". This pairing has a deep connection with Ayumi and Conan relationship.

Moments

Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys (Manga Volume 27 file 10 and 28 Files 1-2, Episode 212-213)

This is the first episode that Mitsuhiko shows affection for Ai. While she goes into one of her adult-like rants about something very random, such as Adam and Eve and the forbiden apple, he watches her and blushes as he does. Conan notices this and asks "What's wrong? Why are you making that face?" and he gets defensive at first but then says "Haibara-san's words are harsh but deep down she's kind, smart, mature and...very mysterious, don't you think?" Conan becomes serious and says "No, Mitsuhiko, don't choose her." Haibara hears him say this and tilts her head in confusion. (It's assumed that Conan-kun says this because he knows the REAL truth about Ai, that she's an adult and will never be interested in him. However, he could have also said it because he is also attracted to Ai and doesn't want Mitsuhiko to get in his way. Either way, he says it to spare Mitsuhiko's feelings.)
