#It SENDS me that he used a red mistletoe tho. Not only bc it's rarer than the rest (which means he went to lengths to get a hold of one)

Send 🌿 to accidentally get caught under the mistletoe with my muse.

@skilledsenses asked: 🌿 ( ranpo and nikolai :))) )

❛ Ranpo-kyuuun~~~! ❜ An exuberant voice makes its grand entrance before the monochromatic figure that follows suit, and it shouldn't be at all surprising to once again find the town's resident clown seeking his friend out regardless of where the other might be (it should, however, be plenty alarming for everyone involved! shouldn't the agency start investing in anti-terrorist tech soon, lest they awaken to a bomb---shell of a present in their bathroom when they least expect it?) ❛ QUI~~Z TIME! What's the object in my hand typically used fooor? ❜ Twirling around in all of his splendor, Nikolai reaches within his cloak at the most opportune of moments and finalizes his twirl with a slight bow and a hand stretched forward, holding a mistletoe towards Ranpo as if presenting him a flower.

The plant does exist all throughout the world, in Japan included, yet the specific type clutched between Nikolai's gloved fingers is the rarest kind - a red mistletoe, one whose parts are all poisonous if eaten yet harmless if left alone. What better metaphor could there be to signify the detective's gravest mistake, that of having attracted the jester's attention? ❛ Hint! ❜ He loudly exclaims, and twirls around again for good measure. But instead of a meaningless string of words leaving his mouth in the form of an explanation, Nikolai prefers to exemplify.

It's with that intention in mind (or perhaps another, hidden one) that he uses one of his hands to bring the mistletoe above their heads and the other to tilt the detective's head upwards and maintain it there, allowing Nikolai to get the preferred angle as he leans down to capture Ranpo's lips with his own. He doesn't stop there, though, and instead bites down on the other's lower lip until droplets of blood escape from his dear friend's skin and the pain pries his mouth open, granting Nikolai access to explore the insides of Ranpo's mouth to his heart's content. And he does! for what seems like a never-ending minute, before at long last the clown decides it's time to part their lips when the detective's breathing becomes erratic enough to gasp for air; yet not without first licking Ranpo's and his own lips clean of the blood he's caused to spill and smear.

It's with a grin, amused and sly, that Nikolai then swats the mistletoe around to redirect the detective's attention onto it anew, and inquires in what ought to be praised as the world's most irritating tone. Surely Ranpo has realized by now what the mistletoe is used for (if he didn't already know), but does he have the energy to say it, too? ❛ So~! Have you reached an answer yet? ❜
