Chapter Text
"Oh, man-" He laughed again. "Now that is what I call fun."
Edgar took Ranpo’s distraction to his advantage, poking Ranpo’s nose with his finger, which was covered in cream. Ranpo stopped laughing to look at him.
"Oh, you wanna play that game, huh?" Ranpo said, bending down to pick up a broken piece of tart crust. He threw it at Edgar, hitting his arm.
"You’re on." Edgar replied, taking his own ammo. They laughed as they exchanged blows, their food fight making the library more of a mess than it was before. The vellichor that once flowed throughout the room was now gone and replaced with bits of tart everywhere.
"Okay! Okay! I surrender." Edgar said, putting his hands up in defeat. Ranpo threw his fist in the air happily. Edgar stared lovingly at him.
"Come on, love. Let’s get cleaned up." He said, walking out of the library. He knew he was going to be the one to clean everything up.
Before he could get out of the room, Ranpo grabbed his arm and stood on the tips of his toes. He closed the distance, surprising Edgar. It was a short kiss, but just as enjoyable as the last. Ranpo smiled when he pulled away, being the first to exit the room. Edgar’s shocked expression soon faded as he chuckled to himself.
"Well, I’d better get started on cleaning, huh, Karl?"
