(a/n headcanon is that ranpo is demi and yosano is lesbian even though in reality I headcanon her bi but for this to work she is lesbian which works to)

Ranpo pov ( Yup! Finally bringing ranpo back for his own pov yay!!!! Finally)

Nope, not great at all. These two have been sitting here for the past hour!?!?! I'm gonna go insane

"Hey atsushi! You think maybe you and aku can awkwardly stare at each other's sockets somewhere else besides the agency?" I smiled fakely trying my best here to have patience. They both looked at me till they stood up

"We're sorry ranpo you probably are 'busy' so we'll take our leave" they bowed then walked out how dare he mock his superior! I am busy though. I have a date with akiko later then I have to meet poe at the library. Strange how she and I have been going on dates yet we never do anything except act as close friends. I feel a close bond and a strong connection with her but not in a romantic way. Am I pushing it in spare of her own feelings? No. There's no way I know I like her and her only. I shook my thoughts and took off. Thank god it was the cafe. I knew my way there easily. I stepped in quickly to spot her holding the menu.

"Hey! Akiko!" I waved and she smiled waving at me as I walked to sit right across from her grabbing the other menu looking through to the sweets right away. Lucy came by to greet us as usual

"hey you two back again pretending you're into each-other?what can I get yea" I was shocked by her choice of words. What does she mean pretend? I really do like akiko I wouldn't kiss her though. Shut it stupid head! Of course I would? She's my girlfriend after all. While I'm fighting my inner thoughts akiko answered first

"We are just trying dating out to see if we are made for each-other . Lucy, I don't understand how you can tell we don't like one another by staring?" she gave a questionable look as did I back as lucy breathed heavy slamming her notepad on the table

"Ok listen here I am gonna say this once so you guys get over yourselves also answer me honestly how do you identify? Hmm??"

"I am demisexual," I answered quickly. It was true I already knew for a long time.

"I don't know to be honest" akiko answered figures again she said were only trying nothings set in stone.

"Ok well ranpo your fine, but yosano I'm sorry I seem judgmental but I don't think you even like guys. Ranpo and you come here being like besties nothing more you seem more into women. I say lesbian if anything" she walked away after that shouting she get our usuals as I turned back to akiko her eyes were widened I waved my hand to snap her back to reality. Didn't work so I snapped my fingers instead then she finally returned.

"Y-you ok? Do you think she's telling the truth? If it is I don't mind I love yea no matter what to be honest akiko we do act better as besties than these dates I been thinking about them a lot latel-"

"kiss me.." she said I froze. She wants me to do what!?!?

"Ummm akiko I respect you but may I ask why???" she sighed

"it's simple ranpo if I feel nothing since your male then I kiss a woman maybe I can analyze if it is true or not!" she said in a thinking position I chuckled at her
"What's funny? I'm serious!" I laughed more

"I know that's what makes it funny! You're thinking so hard into this but sure quickly though" I stood up walking to her and touched her cheek gently.

"Are you sure?" I asked softly. She nodded and I did as she asked. I pulled her in and kissed her softly. It wasn't much as I pulled away after a few seconds and I didn't feel anything. Maybe my inner thoughts were right. I wasn't into her romantically. If not then who?

"Anything?" I asked knowing the answer already

"nothing..sorry ranpo I guess we're back to being best friends?" I smiled chuckling happy with that

"Of course! Best friends always!" We both chuckled after that as we stood up walking out the cafe saying bye to lucy so she knew to cancel our orders.

"So were you off too?"

"To visit poe at the library I am excited for his new novel honestly" I smiled thinking about the last time then snapped out of it seeing her chuckle at me weird?

"What's so funny!"

"You look more lovestruck mentioning him rather than me" she kept giggling as I froze feeling my face burn up a bit but shook it off. No! Poe was a dear friend my rival nothing else

"you got it all wrong! He is my rival! Nothing more! Jeez '' I sighed, stomping away as she kept laughing. I ignored making my way to the library ridiculous. Why out of all people does she think of him?

Yosano pov

Poor ranpo he has no idea I knew this whole time that he never liked me. More like he just said yes out of curiosity I know by his tone he treasures poe a lot. If anything he should be with him but his mind is so clouded of wanting to stay in denial I hope he comes to terms soon. I then made my way back to the agency.

Ranpo pov

I finally made it! It took forever to find it! I swear I come here so often you think I know where it is but I don't. I had to ask over 5 people for help. At least it was less than last time I chuckled softly making my way inside. I scanned the room looking for the anti social fellow

"BINGO! Target acquired" I ran and back hugged the guy smiling as he tensed up but saw me and relaxed a bit after

"oh! Ranpo it's you. I have the new novel almost ready for you" I sat right next to him grabbing a book of my own to read

"great! I'm excited to read it! I'll just sit here till your finish ok?" he smiled softly. I got happy at his smile since he rarely does so. I sat there in peace with my hard-working f-friend yea I mean I'll consider us friends at this point right?
