Wild Blue Moon Chase

Chapter 3

Ranpos pov- I wake up to the sound of a beeping noise in my ear. I slowly open my eyes and look at the time.. it was 10 Am The time where work usually starts. I groan at the thought of going to work this early "I don't wanna gooo" I say to myself complaining I smile "no one will notice if I'm like 10 minutes late" I say and slowly start to close my eyes... As I drift off to a nice peaceful slumber.... images of Poe start to pop in my head. Wait Poe? Oh, that's right! He goes to work today! So, I'll be able to see him. I slowly start to open my eyes and look at the time it "it's only been ten minutes I'm fine" I say and get up I put on my usual outfit and grab some snacks I look around seeing where I can put all these snacks. "There's a little backpack right there I'm so lucky" I grab it and put all the snacks in it.

I walk to the bar I own.

I walk inside and see none other than the adorable racoon lover himself "Poe!" I exclaim and hug him from the back I feel him jump a little "Ranpo? What are you doing here so early? Your usually hours late" "well I came to see you my lovable racoon lover" I say proudly I see a small smile from the tall man "and I have a favor to ask for you" I say, and he tilts his head "what do you need?" He asks, "well I kind of set you up with a go fish battle with a police member" I explain "What?!" He says not loud, but you could still tell in his voice that he wasn't expecting this out of all the other stupid things I do "why couldn't you do it?" He asks "well I tried but me and him end in a tie Soo we decided to pick our most trusted partners to see who wins and get this! If we win, then we'll be able to explain why the ying and yang killers are Atsushi and Akutagawa! "I say "Ranpo I don't think-" "pleaaseeeeeee my most beautiful precious best friend" I beg Poe hesitates for a minute then sighs "fine" he says. "Yay thank you so much Poe your amazing!" I say hugging him more tightly. I look up at him and see a faint small blush from embarrassment form on his pale soft cheeks He coughs and looks away changing the subject "l-lets just getting ready for work" he says with a little stutter which was cute but when I heard work I got drained completely "do we have to" I groan He nods I sigh and don't complain anymore besides I shouldn't be complaining he's doing something really brave by going to have a challenge with the police I get he has social anxiety so I'll be with him all the way so he doesn't get lonely!

"I'm going to start cleaning up" He says which snaps me out of zoning out "wait for me! Ill help I don't want my precious best friend doing this all alone "I swear I could hear a faint chuckle coming from him "Hey Poe could you take the orders today while I greet the customers?" I ask and he nods I finally open the doors for the customers and people come rushing in "HI, hello, welcome" I say to all the customers. After a few minutes I think to myself ...Wait am I really that stupid to let Poe of all people order the customers I swear it's been a long day and it's only been an hour! I walk in and see a dude yelling at Poe and Karl

"What is wrong with this place?! I came for food! Not some worker with a pet why do you even have a pet here?! It's unsanitary how do I know that you didn't get flees in my food!" He says talking about Karl. Karl starts sharpening his claws He tries to jump at the dude but luckily Poe stops him I walk over to them "may I ask what's happening?" The dude looks at me "well you see this worker isn't being sanitary and bought a wild racoon into this bar!" "Well sir if you have a problem with our workers at our establishment your always free to leave no one forced you to come here" I say not trying to sound agitated even though I obviously was I mean who wouldn't he comes in here decides to yell at my workers not just any worker he's also my best friend! He acts like yelling at someone is a everyday thing and it's stupid "Well I came here to eat not having a problem until I realized your BoYfRiEnD here had a wild animal in the bar! it's wild it hasn't been trained I have every right to be upset!!!"

He complains and complains but I slowly zone out, huh? Boyfriend? Poe? Poe being my boyfriend? Oh no no no no no Poe is my BEST FRIEND and best friend ONLY "Ranpo are you okay-" I hear Poe's voice and soon snap out of zoning out "sir leave" "NO! I want this guy to get rid of his ratchet racoon!" He says "I don't care what you want your making a scene In MY bar not yours so leave" "well he should-" I cut him off before continuing "I said goodbye" I take Karl from Poe and put him down. Chasing the dude out of the bar. Karl comes back and we all get back to our jobs, but I can't help but wonder why would he assume something like that? We're only friends!! Oh well.
