Edogawa ranpo

Ranpo was one man who most people knew, didn't share what was his. Sharing is caring? What the fuck is that? Yeah, no. He didn't share and he didn't care. That's why no one at the agency bothered to ask him for something. One because that exact reason and two because they were his of course. But they were snacks, right? That didn't apply to anything else? Wrong. He did not want you going out with that old school friend of yours. Especially when they were a boy.

It was when you and Ranpo were both going to a close by store for a stock on snacks before heading to the agency. And it so happened that as soon as you exited out, you ran into a old friend of yours. And with Ranpo not noticing since he was still walking while opening a lollipop, it wasn't until he looked at his side to see you weren't with him. To which he stopped and looked behind him just to see that you were talking with another not far from Ranpo. And with that, he felt jealousy. To see you were actually smiling and laughing at whatever he said. He didn't even need his thinking skills to find out you guys were gonna go out tonight.

He waited until you too catched up from where he stopped before you accepted a little note from him and nodded, walking off then after and putting it in your bag. Catching up with where Ranpo stood, he gently took the bags of snacks from your hands which you usually did in one hand and held your hand with the other. Unusual is what you thought but didn't mind. Well, him holding the bags. Holding hands was something you guys always did. Let's just say the walk to the agency was a..bit quiet than usual.

You were filling out a report since Atsushi had to go to a mission. And you volunteered to do it for him so he wasn't so behind on work which he accepted on a rush. You sat beside Ranpo on his desk as he slacked off on his chips and usual drink. You both didn't really exchange words since the bump in, which was a bit odd to you. But Ranpo had his full reasons to why he was quiet when he was jealous. And while your focused, he was acting like he wasn't staring at you as he ate. How was he gonna tell you about that little go out your having when he wants cuddles? Just be forward? Or wait?

"His basket is right there."

Your now turning in atsushi's work inside his basket where all the turned in reports belonged with a little help of Yosano and when walking back, Ranpo randomly placed you on his lap instead of letting you go to your own chair. Without a word too. So you just kinda sat there akwardly and stared at your lap. After all, it kinda had you thinking why he'd been silent after the walk back from the store. Was it about your friend? Something you said? Something you bought? It just didn't leave your head. Nobody of course minded this since it happened on a usual with 2 other veryyyyy close people.

His arm wrapped perfectly around your waist, and he couldn't stand the thought if that other man did the same. But right now, he didn't put a single thought to him. Who's he against the greatest detective in the world? Exactly. He's just another one of those so called boring cases Ranpo dislikes. He's just hoping you wouldn't end up going.

Your both in your shared homes, Ranpo laying beside you as you texted and he had like his 7th lollipop of the day. Maybe even more, but the things are so small he finishes them in a minute. Well, that's how it looked like to you. But he was clearly distracting himself with something so he wouldn't notice the fact you were already making plans with this dude. And of course bringing some of your friends. But a bar? A stupid bar? Why go to a bar instead of sleeping with your boyfriend. Maybe share some kissys too but Ranpo reallyyyy needed those cuddles before sleeping. And without that, he'd become so clingy until he got it. But he hasn't shown that the entire day. And you were becoming concerned. The silence etched, feeling like forever. Becoming akward even until Ranpo broke that.

"Uhm..going to sleep soon, yet..?"

An even more concerning question am I right? Questioning about it, he simply put it as wanting to already get to sleep. Indicating of course shared kissys and cuddles. You pretended to totally agree until you got up and began looking for clothes in your drawers since plans were already made. For like a couple minutes, Ranpo stared. Just simply admiring you and he didn't even try to hide it. Eventually, audios were coming from your phone and it seemed as if Ranpo was watching some videos until you can hear silence from while you were in the bathroom and doing your stuff, including changing so you could get everything done at once. You didn't think much until you walked out and checked yourself from a long mirror you had in a small portion of your room. He walked up from behind you and wrapped his arms around your waist gently. His usually closed eyes, opened just so those beautiful green eyes you rarely saw stared at yours from the mirror when he finally spoke.

"Your going out?"

Probably that silence that served when he had your phone meant he was going through your phone. Of course you had to reassure it'd be for a bit, but you definitely caught that small frown he got when it meant you wouldn't be with him.

"So...no cuddles tonight?"
