BSD Scenarios

Ranpo vs Kenji (part 3)

(A/N: eyyyyyy! It's been a minute since I revisited this particular scenario. Yes, I'm writing another part almost a whole year later. The reason? I got inspired by a comment from Goubilicious. Without further ado, enjoy!)

Ranpo: *scowls* Kenji Miyazawa...I will defeat you if it's the last thing I ever do...

Kenji: *scowls back* Edogawa Ranpo...no, you won't.

Ranpo: Oh yes, I will. And I just got the most perfect idea ever.

Kenji: ...What is it?

Ranpo: *just grins in response*

Kenji: I should definitely be concerned.

Ranpo: Shhh...it's ok. It'll all be fine... *typing on his phone*

Kenji: That sounds ominous and by extension, only makes me more worried.

Ranpo: *looks back at Kenji and stops typing* Oh, please. Nothing bad will happen. I just need to know who stole my marble. And I'd also like to challenge you again.

Kenji: Your marble's missing?

Ranpo: Yes. And maybe you took it because you're mad at me for challenging you.

Kenji: I DID NOT!

Ranpo: Ok, ok!

Kenji: *goes back to smiling*

A knock is heard on the door

Ranpo: Come in~!

Poe: *walks into the room with Karl on his shoulders like usual*

Ranpo: *smiles* Hello, my dear Poe!

Poe: *blushes a little* ...Hi.

Ranpo: Alrighty. I need you to be our test subject.

Poe: I feel like I should be concerned.

Ranpo: Nah. Kenji and I are just trying to settle something.

Poe: And what might that be?

Kenji: We're arguing over the best method to interrogate people! I'm saying it's better to ask nicely.

Ranpo: And I know it's better to use whatever means possible, because the point of an interrogation is to ask for information.

Poe: *listening and nodding to himself* Got it, got it...

Kenji: So! Can we try our methods on you?

Poe: I guess.

Ranpo: great! I'll go first. Sorry in advance, dear. *glares* Edgar Allen Poe...did you steal my marble?

Poe: *instinctively backs away* N-no, of course not! I would never!

Kenji: *sighs* Now look what you've done. You scared your boyfriend.

Poe: *shocked by the boyfriend comment*

Ranpo: He knows I don't mean it. And I'd like to see you do better. Also, we're not dating.

Kenji: Bet. *looks at Poe* Hey Poe, have you seen Yamanashi anywhere? *looks at Ranpo* Not yet, you guys aren't.

Poe: Who's Yamanashi again?

Kenji: My bull.

Poe: Oh....no, I haven't.

Kenji: Thanks anyway.

Ranpo: Alright, who wins?

Poe: *falls silent, thinking*

Ranpo: Poooooeeeeeee... *makes puppy eyes*

Kenji: Let him think.

Poe: *looks at Kenji and Ranpo* Alright so...I can see both sides here. Both make sense. And also, we're going to ignore the way I reacted to Ranpo's method.

Ranpo: *feels bad* I'm sorry, Poe...

Poe: It's ok.

Ranpo: *makes more puppy eyes*

Poe: I mean it.

Ranpo: Does that mean you agree with me more?

Poe: I said both make sense.

Ranpo: But do you agree with me more?

Poe: ...Yes.

Ranpo: Yay!

Kenji: Ranpo, he probably only agreed because he loves you.

Poe: KENJI! *looks away as his face turns red and thinks: well...he's not wrong, but I haven't actually told Ranpo that yet...*

Ranpo: Don't embarrass him like that.

Kenji: Well, you scared him.

Ranpo: And I apologized. Plus, he knows it's impossible for me to stay mad at him.

Kenji: Alright then.

Karl: *holding Ranpo's marble*

Ranpo: ...Aha! So that's where my marble is!

Poe: Yeah, that's actually why I came here. I noticed Karl had your marble.

Ranpo: Huh, weird. *holds out his hand for the marble*

Karl: *doesn't give Ranpo his marble back*

Poe: Come on, Karl. Give it back.

Karl: *reluctantly does so*

Ranpo: *grins* Many thanks! *puts the marble on his desk*

Poe: Sorry about that. I'm not sure why he took it.

Karl: *thinks: oh, you poor fool. I did it so you would have a reason to go see Ranpo...*

(A/N: Karl the matchmaker! We stan him.)

Ranpo: Maybe he was trying to get you to come see me.

Poe: Why, though?

Ranpo: Because perhaps you have something you'd like to tell me.

Poe: W-what?! *instantly gets flustered*

Kenji: *watches them* Alright Ranpo, we'll settle this later. Have your moment with Poe. *walks away*

Ranpo: Kenji, wait!- *looks at Poe*

Poe: *averts his gaze*

Ranpo: Poe?

Poe: ...What Kenji said earlier is true.

Ranpo: You mean-

Poe: When he mentioned me loving you? Yes.

Ranpo: *face heats up a little*

Poe: But I mean, don't feel pressured to feel the same!

Ranpo: *looks at Poe* Ed...

Poe: *flustered by the use of his first name* Yeah?

Ranpo: *smiles* I love you, too. *walks over to Poe and kisses him*

Poe: *kisses back*

Kenji: *returns after a few minutes and sees Ranpo and Poe* Alright, lover boys. Break it up.

Poe: *immediately pulls away from Ranpo, embarrassed out of his mind*

Ranpo: Kenji, go away. The adults are having a moment.

Kenji: *shrugs* Alright. I guess we'll continue our argument some other time. *walks away again*

Poe: *steals a glance at Ranpo, still embarrassed*

Ranpo: *pats Poe's arm* Don't worry about him.

Poe: Ok...

Ranpo: *smiles*

Poe: *smiles back*
