~Choke~ (ranpo x poe) Singer AU

| Chapter 5 |

Ranpo slightly opened his eyes, blinking away the drowsiness. He reached his hand up to his face, wiping the eyes roughly, they were really itchy for some reason. When the itchiness calmed down, the shorter reached his arms around the bed, searching for his brunette companion, saddened to not find his warmth there.

Wait.

What?

The ravenette's emerald eyes shot wide open as he realized what happened last night.

"SHIT!" 

Ranpo yelled at himself. Poe probably thought he was some weirdo who has attachment issues now. He probably hates him. How could the shorter face the taller now? Maybe he could talk to Fukuzawa to switch their rooms again so they weren't sharing, that seems like the most reasonable thing to do..

"Ranpo! Breakfast!!"

The ravenette looked up, snapped out of his thoughts by the angelic voice he grew to enjoy so much. He sighed before slowly getting out of his bed, scratching his head of black hair accidentally making it much more messy than normal.

The shorter boy stepped out of his room and into the kitchen drowsily, sitting down at the counter, resting his head in his hands. Ranpo was about to fall back asleep again, until the scent of French Toast reached his nose. He perked his head up, forgetting about the embarrassment he felt from last night, now only focusing on the delicious dish Poe was plating.

Poe turned around with the two plates of Toast in his hands, along with some napkins. He sat one in front of Ranpo as he slipped into the stool diagonal to the ravenette.

The brunette watched as the shorter's eyes began to sparkle from the sight of the delicious food in front of him. Ranpo quickly looked up to Poe, eyes still sparkling in all their emerald glory, with a large smile.

"Thank you Poe!!" He exclaimed loudly, digging in to the food before Poe had a chance to even say anything. 

The brunette only smiled a bit, before starting the gulp down his own portion of the meal. 

They sat in comfortable silence for a bit, enjoying their food, until the duo heard the ringing of the apartment landline. The ravenette swallowed the last bit of his toast, and got up from his stool. He quickly skipped over to the intercom, happy from the food he enjoyed, and answered the call.

"Yello? This is Ranpo you are speaking too."

"Ranpo, it's Kunikida."

"Oh! Hey Kunikida. What's on the agenda for today?"

"Both of your schedules are quite packed today. Until noon, Poe will be in training and artistry so we can prepare him for the rest of the day, where you too are to go on a 'date' to one of the most popular cafes on instagram. All you need to do is grab a few pictures, eat, and answer some questions to the public."

"Oh okay. When does Poe need to be in training and such?"

"About 15 minutes, you can lead him down."

"Alright got it. Bye Kunikida!"

"See you soon."

There was a loud beep, indicating the call had ended. Ranpo turned to look at Poe, who was walking over to the sink with both of their dishes in hand.

"Did you hear all of that?" The shorter asked his tall companion. Who looked over and nodded slightly. 

"I-I'll go g-get ready." The brunette said, as he made his way over to his room.

Ranpo sighed and smiled to himself, 

'He's gonna hate training.'
