[He doesn't expect that to cause a little twinge in his chest, but it does. Who called him "Ranpo" regularly outside of Fukuzawa-san? Yosano let it slip on occasion, especially now that they've become so close. And a few people here who likely didn't speak Japanese in their own world naturally won't use honorifics at all.]
[But there really was something special about making that change intentionally like this.]
I think I'd be more offended if you didn't! ...Atsushi.
[There really was, wasn't it? Atsushi doesn't know anyone who has just called him 'Atsushi' regularly, so hearing Ranpo call him that makes his stomach flutter happily. Someone close enough to call him that.... it was nice in a way he couldn't quite put into words.]
Ranpo, then. [His smile is wide and bright, like Ranpo's just given him a gift of some sort.]
It's worse during Sanguis -- she gets really possessive and can tell wherever I've been based on my smell...
[Which, uh]
[Since their little encounter was during the three moons, she probably already knows. She certainly already knows about Kunikida, even if he's pointedly made sure it never comes up.]

Now, he's beaming at Ranpo, surprise clear on his face alongside delight.]
Really?! I'd love to--

[Oh no.
That plus the apology cake would make for a very, very painful time, wouldn't it?]
no subject
[Ranpo is very good at distracting her with other more important things like how cute he looks during Cordis.]
But I don't want her to get the wrong idea, so let's at least eat the words!
[They're gonna be those weirdos who take a slice out of the center of the cake now.]
