This story is incredibly old, and I forgot about it. I soon hope to revive it on my AO3, ofc with better writing... yeesh Ranpo can be stubborn, especially when it comes to love. He doesn't like what he can't understand, and a simple feeling that he couldn't deduce can get on his nerves. Poe on the other hand, accepting his hopeless fate. He's almost as dense as Ranpo, but he's more nervous.
