Chapter Text
Yeah, you can call me lover boy
They say I throw my heart around
“Yosanoooo I just love him” You sighed as you told your female friend about yet another day, as she shook her head in disapproval. “Stop throwing your heart at every boy you see now dear, last week you were obsessed with the boy you met at the bar” she commented, as she cleaned up her medical desk.
And you can be my lover girl
I'll pick you up, drive you around
“This couldn't be” Ranpo stared at the mirror in denial while he held it out in front of him, as Atsushi came behind him to ask “Are you okay Ranpo-kun?”
Ranpo could only nod. He was thinking about Y/N, while staring at his face. He was thinking how good it would be that she was kissing his forehead, hugging him and being in his arms with him.
I'll show you how to fall in love
We'll be the talk of all the town
Now everybody wants to be like us
They're getting jealous, feel it now
“....And I guess that's why i like him” you commented as you screamed at your pillow, while Yosano handed you the juice she made. “Y/N, your crush on him is going out of hand”
“But, I just need one chance, I’ll make sure he feels love. He is so UGh, I’ll even make sure he doesnt get diabetes….Yosano this is unhealthy isn't it?”
Yosano just hummed as a response, sipping her drink before commenting “It's fun to watch grown up act like teenagers”
“HEY! AM SAME AGE AS YOU”
Oh, wow
Kill the lights
Yosano was just fed up. Her seniors were lovestruck. and of all, both of them were in love.
“YOSANO!!!” You whispered loudly, “He was looking at MY DIRECTION”
“Oh boy” Yosano was pretty sure she would age to death before anyone could.
Oh, baby, close your eyes
The way you're looking at me
You've got me mesmerised
“Yo-sa-no” Ranpo pocked Yosano’s cheek as they were sitting in the train, returning back from the mission they were assigned.
‘“What is it, lover boy?” Yosano commented, clearly looking bored, “Stop poking me”
“Lover boy?”
“It doesn't take a great mind to figure it out you know”
“You got me Yosano-san!” Ranpo laughed, as he removed his cap from his head. Yosano watched him playing with his cap.
“Seems like it's a secret between us now Yosano-san, I really like her you know?”
“Is it so? Tell me about it more, we got the whole day, it's going to be worth travelling”
Something I can't escape
Feel like I'm lost in space
You've got that good loving
Girl, if you leave me I might throw my heart away
“You need to talk about it to him Y/N! Am pretty sure everyone in the agency have figured about your little crush” Yosano spoke, pushing you towards the door of the agency, “Just go inside, its not like you can't keep up a normal convo”
“I can keep up the convo! But it wouldn't be the same as before, I like him now”
“Dear, you liked him before too”
“Yeah but it was Platonically!”
“To bad” And with that Yosano opened the door and pushed Y/N inside, and it was Y/N’s luck that she bumped into the one and only
Ranpo edogawa
You know my heart can't take the break
Nothing will ever be the same
We'll meet again some other day
Oh, yeah
It's such a shame
Ranpo was casually sitting in the newly found office as Yosano and Kunikida seemed to be working on a document. Unexpectedly, the agency door opened to reveal Fukuzawa and another girl. “Please Welcome, L/N Y/N, she is an ability user who will be aiding us with our agency” The girl nervously waved at three of them, before looking around the office to get used to it. Kunikida, being idealistic he is, went off to introduce everyone in the office. “Hello, My name is Kunikida Doppo”
“My named is Yosano Akiro and this is”
“The world’s greatest detective to ever exist! Ranpo Edogawa!” Ranpo spoke, loud enough to make the newcomer take back a few steps.
“As you know….My name is L/N Y/N, But i wouldn't mind you all calling me Y/N”
Somehow the love came to an end
You've started talking to a tool
“Ranpo! Oh sorry I didn't see you here” You spoke immediately, as you awkwardly scorched your head to pick up the candy packed Ranpo dropped because of you bumping.
“It's fine Y/N!” Ranpo immediately responded, before looking up to see Yosano smiling innocently. His hands immediately went towards the candy pack, to which by his luck, touched Y/N’s hand which seemed to touch the same candy packet.
Quickly withdrawing, you both cleared up the mess before someone from behind spoke, “Y/N can you please bring me bandages? It seems that I have a shortage of it " another shouted "Bring me some Cheesecake too!”. And in no time, you were given a list to shop for the agency.
“Oh can you please bring back some chip packets for me?” Ranpoo piped in, and as soon as he said that Yosano said, “Ranpo! Why don't you go with Y/N and help her out, it would be helpful, plus you can buy bakery stuff together”
Ranpo and Y/N both glared at her, indicating to shut her mouth, unaware the other one was sending the same message to her as well.
“No No, its fine I can-”
Yosano pushed both of them out of the door, and closed it behind them “HEY! I WASNT FINISHED”
You're telling lies to all your friends
But you know damn well it should be me
But I'm moving on, doing my best
Now everybody whispers things 'bout us
“Say Y/N who was the one you were having difficulty talking with? Ranpo asked, as he ate his chip he carried all the way.
“No one you should get familiar with Ranpo!” You said, nervously as you walked beside him hoping he didn't figure it out.
“Humm, is it a crush perhaps?” Ranpo enquired to which Y/N almost lost her breath.
“Crush? Pfff no…” “You are bad at lying, you know?”
“You tell me Ranpo, you're 26 and still single?”
“Hey!” Ranpo said, throwing the chips packet in the dustbin nearby and throwing his arms in protest “Says the one who is also going to turn 26 soon”
“Sorry Sorry” Y/N laughed, as they reached the store to buy stuff.
You're hearing voices in your head
Can't forget
Kill the lights
Oh, baby, close your eyes
The way you're looking at me
Ranpo looked at Y/N, Who seemed to be laughing at the drawing created by Dazai. It was a drawing of Dazai himself drowning in water, but it more of looked like Dazai was falling from the sky with wings instead of arms.
Her voice, and her smile amused him, no one ever made him this lovestruck. Everything around him reminded him of her. He would look at the plant near his chair, it would remind him the time she instead to keep that plant and make it grow because ‘Ranpo needs to be responsible’
Unexpectedly, You turn around to see Ranpo staring at you, intensely as if he was reading you. Did he think you had a crush on Dazai? No, you were pretty sure Ranpo could never go wrong then, Did he figured it out?
You've got me mesmerized
Something I can't escape
Feel like I'm lost in space
You've got that good loving
“Here” You commented, passing on the pastry packet you bought for him and yourself to eat. He looks at it and without a thought hugs you making you almost fall on the ground. You could do nothing but blush at the sudden gesture from him, your crush
“Thanks Y/N!” He practically shouted, “Your welcome, we should go back to the agency, its getting late”
Girl, if you leave me I might throw my heart away
You know my heart can't take the break
Nothing will ever be the same
We'll meet again some other day
“Oh look lovermates are back” Dazai commented looking at you two holding hands, Ranpo didn't seem to listen to him, but you on the other hand, “HEY! We just went shopping for you people” before removing your hand from his, realising and regretting making that move. His hands were warm and you missed his warmth.
“Sure”
“Y/N if you can please help me out,” Dazai says as if held you hand, getting on his knees, “Are you willing to commit double suicide with me?”
Kunikida, seeing it, pulled Dazai’s ear and scolded him while knocking him unconscious.
“Was that necessary Kunikida-san? I am pretty sure he is happy to be dead with that”
“That waste of human potential deserves it, Thank you for getting things for the agency Y/N”
“No problem”
“Me and Y/N will be going now” Yosano commented, dragging her out of the office just before making sure, her and Ranpo’s shoulder bump.
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Kill the lights
Oh, baby, close your eyes
“How did your little date go?” Yosano asked Pocking , a blushing Y/N who was busy processing the things that happened throughout the day.
“IT WASN'T A DATE”
“Are you sure? You two were pretty much eating pastry cakes together” Yosano smirked, as you blushed remembering the hug you had.
“Umm we just hugged okay!” Yosano raised her eyebrow, listening to you “And maybe hold hands, IT WAS NOTHING I SWEAR-”
“Sure”
“WAIT, we were holding hands…HOLDING HANDS OH MY GOD-”
“Calm down Y/N will you now”
“Yeah I am pretty sure it was a friendly gesture”
The way you're looking at me
You've got me mesmerized
Something I can't escape
Feel like I'm lost in space
“Yosano I need help,” Ranpo said over the call, as Yosano reached her home to listen to the other one again. She doesn't even know what her profession is anymore.
“Sure tell me, you both kissed or something?”
“Now-now, dont assume that Yosano-san, but we did hold hands” Ranpo said over the call
“Congratulations Ranpo, confess already will you?”
“No, I am pretty sure she doesn't feel the same way”
“How can you be sure? Did you use your ability or something?”
“No yosano-kun” Ranpo said almost laughing, “Love makes even the greatest abilities blind, and I Ranpo Edogawa have seem to fall in love with Y/N L/N”
You've got that good loving
Girl, if you leave me I might throw my heart away
Another day passed by, and the agency was calmly working well, except Dazai, who was busy listening to music on the couch.
“Ranpo and Y/N, there is a murder case near the Yokohama port, Mr president has requested you two to take over it” Yosano said, from the agency door winking at both of them.
You know my heart can't take the break
Nothing will ever be the same
We'll meet again some other day
“Well, Ranpo seems like we both need to work now” you said, and taking a bold move, you held his hand to pull him down from the table , out the door to the elevator. Howling could be heard behind the agency door, which quickly seemed to die down. Ranpo seemed to stare at his hand before he closed his eyes smiling “Let's go shall we? There is no case this detective can't solve”
And just like that, two idiots, in love, intertwined their hands, to solve another case in the city.
Who says love is only expressed through words? Actions are enough.
