Dearest.《 Yosano Akiko X Edogawa Ranpo》

Tease.

"Yosanoooooooooo!"

Ranpo audibly called out to the female with an exuberant voice, waving to steal the other's attention, yet all of her attention was placed upon the piles of paperworks, his voice didn't reached her, reaching the other staffs and members instead.

"Yosano. Yosano!"

He tried once again. Maneuvering to catch her gaze, he ran towards the desk where she sitted.

"Let's Play mahjong! Or cards! Whatever you'd like to play!"

Adverting amethyst hues at the male, Yosano at last recognized his presence, her eyes greeted nothing but the sight of the male's rapturous mien.

"Later."

"Why?"

Asking such an obvious question, he only wanted a different answer from her since playing with other staffs seemed to be monotonous to him, besides playing with Yosano is rather stimulating.

"Paperworks."

He groaned beneath his breath, followed by the clicking of his tongue. Ranpo crossed his arms then pouted, his action never denies that he was irritated by the sight, everyone was busy except him, doing what they're doing bores him anyway.

"Do it later."

"Why don't you help me if you're really desperate to play."

"Why would I? It's tedious and seems jejune to me. You can do it by yourself."

An apathetic expression was visible upon her face, typical of him, she knew his response anyway.

"Fine. You'll get scolded by Fukuzawa if you kept on doing nothing."

Yosano stated bluntly before returning to what she was doing.

Her last statement resulted his eyes in widening, realizing what could possibly happen, Ranpo perked up suddenly, drawing the closest chair to his figure, beside Yosano he sat there.

"I-I'll help of course! I'm just joking geez."

Chuckling nervously, the male eagerly asked her what he has to do, lending his ear, making sure he didn't missed anything before screwing them up, especially when its paperworks.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miraculously he survived through the mundane activity, yawning, stretching after they finally finished all their works ahead of others, including Yosano who also gave out a short yawn before stretching her arms. Surprisingly while their activity, discerning no complaints from the male. As a reward for his patience for their task to be done, Yosano thought of something to reward the other since he would hardly be placed for an humdrum work, she was slightly bemused yet engrossed by his serene and solemn expression while working.

"Ranpo, I'm going out for a stroll, come with me."

His visage was delighted, grinning after one's offer.

"Let's go then! There's no time for waiting!"

Ranpo paced up towards her, pulling her hands all of the sudden, squeezing them tightly before exiting the room even without no permission.
