As you clutched the chocolate close to your heart, lost in thought, Ranpo's voice brought you back to reality. "Like that chocolate, huh?" His eyes sparkled with amusement, and his little grin made your day.

You nodded, trying to play it cool. "Yes, my childhood favorite. Brought back memories."

Ranpo's face lit up. "No way, me too! Nostalgia is so cool, y'know?"

You smiled, feeling a connection. "Oh, well, I guess that's interesting. I love getting nostalgic."

Ranpo stacked his paperwork on the table. "Anyways, since you're new, you'll be helping with work too, right? Good!" He handed you the papers, and you hesitated for a minute, but his eyes,too pretty, almost hypnotic. "Yea, I can do it."

"Thank you These are too boring for someone so intelligent like me! But I'm feeling generous for your help! here's some snacks for you!"

He hands over some candies for you. As you sorted through the papers, you couldn't help but sneak glances at Ranpo, who was now engrossed in his snacks. You felt a flutter in your chest, and your heart raced with excitement.

No!y/n you can't fall in love! You cant give in to your temptation!
The day was over but was it?
You decided to go out and buy fresh roses with some daffodils and lavenders and turn it in a bouquet,you also stop by the candy shop and buy the best candies you could think of. You went back to the room provided lying on the futon.

As you lay on the futon, your phone buzzed, breaking the silence. "Hello? Yea, it's me," you answered, trying to sound calm. The voice on the other end was stern, a reminder of your true purpose.

"I know your dream was to be there, but don't forget why you went in the first place. I swear, if you try to run away, they'll all know you, and you'll lose both. Don't act stupidly, is that clear? Now, I want every piece of new news. I can't have you distracted there."

You nodded, even though they couldn't see you. "I'm aware. I'll give you every detail acquired!"

You cut the call, sending some files to a mysterious number before switching off your phone and  got onto preparing the bouquet, keeping it fresh for the next morning,you decide to use your ability transform a flower into a sunflower too, so it's gonna look interesting!

In your old place you barely got to use any of your ability,you depended on a gun,knife,and dual scythes. You were an assassin. Now you're a "double agent" and a girl stupidly in love.

You lay in bed interrupted by your uncomfortable dreams your fear got the best of you, being alone was a blessing for you didn't want to appear this vulnerable to any soul.

The next morning approaches as you wake to your alarm getting ready for a new day,this day you particularly found yourself dressing in bright colours, pretty of a top with a bright coloured pant your hair let loose,black yet showed so much personality,you felt rather happy and you felt free,and got ready with the flowers and give to Ranpo San, from a secret admirer, you got to the office before him(and infact anyone)so you placed the rose in a case on his desk along with the chocolates, happily,and you couldn't help organize his desk a bit,where you found more info confidential in the ADA but you promised yourself to not share this with them, because what you did was out of love,and they never told you that,you smirk as you realise you could do anything hide anything and they won't be able to blame you or realise!You blasted music in you headphones when you met with Naomi who came early

As you finished organizing Ranpo's desk, Naomi approached you, eyeing the transformed space. "Hi, Y/n right?" she asked, her voice cheerful.

You nodded, trying to play it cool. "That's me. I start my day early, awake."

Naomi noticed the flowers and chocolates on Ranpo's desk. "You're a fan of brightening up spaces, I see. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, maybe except Junichiro."

You felt a flutter in your chest, anticipating Ranpo's reaction. What if he's irritated his desk was organized? What if he doesn't like the flowers? What if he figures out it's you?What if the sunflower was gonna ruin the aesthetic, but it was your favourite.

Just then, Ranpo walked in, his eyes scanning the room. His gaze landed on his desk, and a hint of surprise crossed his face. He spotted the flowers and chocolates, and a soft smile spread across his lips.A little reddish tint on his cheek,his raised an eyebrow as he spoke in a very confident and prideful tone his eyes sparkling in amusement "Ah, a secret admirer, I see,I wonder who could have done such a thing."

You held your breath, hoping he wouldn't suspect you. Naomi glanced at you, a knowing glint in her eye, but said nothing.


Ranpo's eyes sparkled with amusement as he examined the bouquet and chocolates.

You felt your heart skip a beat as he glanced around the room, his gaze lingering on you for a moment. Naomi's knowing look made you nervous, but you tried to maintain a poker face.

"I wonder who could have done such a thing," Ranpo looked away from you,he mused, his eyes narrowing slightly as he examined the bouquet more closely.

You held your breath, hoping he wouldn't notice the sunflower you transformed using your ability. But Ranpo's eyes widened in surprise as he spotted it.

"Ah, a sunflower! My favorite," he exclaimed, his face lighting up with delight.

Your heart raced as Ranpo's eyes met yours, a hint of suspicion in his gaze. But then, his expression softened, and he smiled.

"Thank you, secret admirer," he said, his voice filled with gratitude. "You have excellent taste."

You let out a sigh of relief as Ranpo began to work, occasionally glancing at the bouquet with a smile. Naomi patted you on the back and whispered, "Good job, Y/n. You've got him hooked."

But as you smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment, you couldn't shake off the feeling that you would end up hurting them,this peaceful environment, sweet, caring, all you've ever wished for, now soon will be crumpled into pieces, you sigh, you wanted to tell someone,but would they trust you? you're just a stranger to them, and technically deceived them, none knew you worked for them, you tried to focus on work, discomforted by the situation, silently praying for someone to show you a way out of this. You wrote a poem in your diary about your hope,you wrote your feelings in poetic verses in your free time

"Am i deceiving or deceived?
A double life, a heavy feat
Is it wrong to hope to be free,
How can I love you as me?"

Show me love, show me your way,
Lets leave that place,have lots of chocolate cupcake-


What are you writing?You want to run away from that place is good. But the last line? really? Youre thinking of Ranpo again? 
You tore off that page for good
You focused on work for now,and collecting information,contempleting which is safe to share with them,and which is better off with yourself.
