Chapter 6 :: A So Called Date

Ranpo and the agency had finally finished up the case from the Guild. The culprit was fairly difficult,  regardless, the agency had solved it in less than a week. 

Fukuzawa walked into the main office area, and cleared his throat, making everyone in the vicinity turn to look at him. 

"As we all should all know, the case from the Guild we took in earlier last week, has been solved." Fukuzawa said sternly. "I thought that, maybe, you would all like to go to a bar tonight? I know Kyouka won't be able to drink, but we can sort something out. Drinks are on-" 

He was cut off by Yosano yelling. 

"WOOOO! Yeah, i'm definitely calling off that date I have tonight." she said, smiling and placing her hand on Atsushi's shoulder, making him wince. She squeezed it to reassure him, and he relaxed under her touch. "Free drinks, can't pass up on that."

"Alright, it's sorted. We'll meet at Bar Lupin. I'll send the address to you later. Get there for 6pm, okay?" Fukuzawa continued, sighing and leaving the room.

Ranpo sighed, remembering last night.

Laying on Poe's sofa, stroking Poe's hair. And, Poe licking his fingers like a dog. He enjoyed it, but he wasn't going to admit it. He would never. Suddenly, thoughts of the man filled his brain.

His hair, it's so soft and so long and nice. And his eyes, oh my god his eyes. I could get lost in them. And his hands, OH MY - HIS HANDS - I WANT HIM TO CHOKE ME AND HOLD ME AND -

Hold on, he's my rival. I can't fall in love with him. 

He shook his head violently, as if the force would take away his feelings as well. He felt his cheeks redden and he quickly covered his face with his hand.

What have I done? There's no hiding it.

I love him.

Ranpo turned halfway to check himself out in the mirror. He was wearing a dark green shirt, with a black waistcoat and matching suit. He looked the most attractive he'd ever been.

He quickly ran his fingers through his hair, giving it a small amount of volume. 

Wow, I haven't dressed up like this in ages. It feels nice.

Suddenly, he felt a strange urge to send a picture to Poe. He opened the camera, then hesitated and closed it.

I can't send a picture to him. We're not that close.

He sighed, and walked out of his dorm to meet all the other members. Kyouka and Yosano were wearing matching red dresses. Ranpo smiled.

They look adorable.

Dazai, Kunikida, Kenji, Tanizaki and Fukuzawa were all arguing about the cab they needed. Ranpo sighed sarcastically, and walked over. 

"Guys, just book 3 cabs. Me, Dazai and Kenji can go in one, Fukuzawa, Junichiro and Kunikida can go in another one, and then the girls can go in the last one, simple." He stated, closing his eyes and folding his arms.

Such idiots. 

"Oh, yeah you're right, Ranpo." Dazai remarked, shooting a smirk at Kunikida, who groaned in return. 

Soon, all three cabs arrived, and they were on their way there.

Little did they know, someone else was going to be there aswell.

Poe nervously wiped his hands on his trousers. He felt uneasy, probably because he had to leave Karl at his home. He couldn't take a raccoon into a bar, of course he couldn't, but he still felt upset.
