Well, he probably got closer than most people?
He almost killed Yosano-san, and it's because of him that I learned my ability wasn't an ability after all.

But the information he gave us helped us save Yokohama, so it worked out in the end!

[tigerpoet]

This should surprise me more than it does, but okay. As long as you're happy with him.

He really is a good guy. Even back then. I'm sure he always was.
He just had some things he had to work through.

[Some people keep journals, and some people join evil organizations so they can confront their rival across the planet for a final duel to the death. Different strokes.]

[sweetsleuth]

And you know, Tiger is on that list too!
He threatened to stab me when we first met!

[tigerpoet]

That's why I brought it up.

[Apparently Ranpo didn't mind it so much if that Prismr profile was anything to go by.]

[sweetsleuth]

You know that does happen
a lot





Do I have a type?

[tigerpoet]

You might, but then neither me nor Atsushi fit into that type, and I'm sure Kunikida doesn't either...

[sweetsleuth]

[................................]

Well, not unless it was Sanguis.

I still have a scar on my neck from where he bit me.

[Which Atsushi most definitely would have seen by now, since it's pretty obvious on the back of his neck.]

[tigerpoet]

That's not the same. Even I can bite sometimes, though hopefully not hard enough to scar.

[sweetsleuth]

...well, I for one wouldn't mind if you wanted to bite me that hard.

[tigerpoet]

Ranpo, why.

[sweetsleuth]

[Wow don't kinkshame!!]

What? It's not that weird.

[tigerpoet]

It is when we're texting and I can't kiss you!

[sweetsleuth]

Then should I come over
and let you bite me?

[tigerpoet]

I'm still grading coursework.

[sweetsleuth]

Ahh, I guess it is a school night, huh.
That's a shame.

[.......]

[Atsushi totally knows what's coming right?]

[Because now he's getting a selfie. Of Ranpo, laying in bed with his shirt just barely undone.]

Should I keep you company while you work?

[tigerpoet]

Blocked.

[sweetsleuth]

Come on! I didn't even call you sensei that time!

[WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOW]

[HE'S GONNA]

[...]

[Take a nap, actually. But at some point, around 6pm, Atsushi gets a video call from Ranpo??]

[(Spoilers it will not be Ranpo on the other side, but someone smaller and squeakier and very much sniffing the camera.)]

[tigerpoet]

[Coincidentally, that's also about when Atsushi finishes his grading. So when he sees that it's Ranpo's ID, of course he picks up.]

Sorry to keep you waiti- oh, hello there.

[Too small and adorable to be Ranpo.]

[sweetsleuth]

[The smol fox chirps and pulls back to look down at the screen, his tail twitching behind him. But then--]

[He flaps his little wings and waves his front paws, letting out a very distinct: "Hi! Asucchi!"]

[HE SPEAKS. Compared to the last time he saw him (icly just a few days ago because future-dating), his speech is already notably better, having only just been able to babble or poorly parrot words.]

[Of course, he's also very loud, and in the background, Atsushi will be able to hear Ranpo mumble in his sleep as he shifts around.]

[tigerpoet]

[Atsushi would die for this fox.]

Shhh, don't wake up Papa. He's resting.

[sweetsleuth]

[The little fox immediately starts to mimic Atsushi, making a soft ssshhhhiii noise, before echoing some of his words. Ranpo lets out a tiny snore, and the fox is back at it, hoping on the screen with his front paws. Through sheer luck, he misses the hang-up button every time.]

"Asucchi... tiny! Very tiny!"

[He gives the phone a very authoritative sniff and nod. Yep, there's a tiny Atsushi in there. That's how these devices work.]

"Play! Come play!"

[tigerpoet]

[oh no this is the cutest goddamn thing]

I can't, you're all the way over there and I'm over here.
