Ranatsu Headcanon 3

Inspired by THIS scene in the manga. because oh my god.

Once they become a couple, Ranpo starts requesting kisses as a bribe instead of ramune. Atsushi doesn't quite understand the point since he's happy to give them away for free, but he's not complaining.

lost kitten

Summary: Halfway starts with happiness for me

Halfway house, lost kitten in the street

Characters: Ranpo Edogawa & Nakajima Atsushi

(A/N: I don’t own anything from this franchise. Respectful ownership belongs to Metric for this song and Kafka Asagiri for this manga).

Don't say yes if you can't say no

Victim of the system, say it isn't so

Squatted on the doorstep, swollen on the blow

Leaving without you, can't say no

Nothing gets past Ranpo’s keen, chartreuse irises.

So, when his line of sight grazed over Atsushi’s form the next time the other placed the stacked of papers onto his desk with an awkward smile on his lips and a pure sparkle of curiosity pooling around his amethyst eyes, he’s quick to dismissed him as a lanky male with an airheaded disposition and a terrible person who can’t say no to other people even if he doesn’t want to do it.

A doormat with no self-preservation.

Atsushi’s existence wasn’t worth thinking about so he focused on other things.

Even when the other was kidnapped back then he didn’t hold back on his own opinion of questioning the agency’s want of saving him when it’s Atsushi’s fault for falling into that kind of situation in the first place.

Because of his stupid kindness. Naivete. And didn’t have an ounce of self-regard for himself.

Even if Fukuzawa had persuaded him successfully back then to rescue the young lad, a twinge of acerbity pooled within him as he complied with his team’s wishes and successfully rescued him with his great assistance.

Ranpo had tried to dismiss it and paid attention to other important variables of their mission even though numerous emotions had arisen within him which had his mind and heart swam into pools of confoundment.

Halfway starts with happiness for me Halfway house, lost kitten in the street Hit me where it hurts, I'm coming home to lose Kitten on the catwalk, high-heeled shoes

Boarding on the train was a pain in the ass.

There were a lot of things that needed to be considered which always made Ranpo’s mind came into a screeching halt when processing more important information inside his head.

But most of all he hated it when he had to stare at the railway map at the train station like it was an object consisted of alien language.

For all his cleverness and intelligence, he had a terrible spatial awareness when it came to directions.

Most of the time he loathed some missions that required for him to take on the train.

“Ranpo-san…?” Atsushi’s hesitant voice in the background reached his line of hearing and halted his thoughts and concentration.

“Yeah?” He asked noncommittally.

“I already bought some train tickets so we’re good to go…” The other’s voice faltered slightly at the end which caught Ranpo’s attention and turned around to face him.

Ranpo saw the look of hesitation and slight embarrassment coloring the other’s face but what caught more of his attention was the other holding a bottle of—

“Ramune?” He voiced out.

“Oh. Uh, yeah. I figured that you might be bored and probably thirsty from the heat and waiting for too long because of the long lines at the booth. So, this one’s for you Ranpo-san but I’m not sure if you’d want a drink like this—.”

“Open it and give it to me.” Ranpo cut him off lightly.

Atushi blinked at him owlishly before complying to his words and twisted the cap off from the lid. The soft, sizzling sound of the soda permeated his ears as soon as Atsushi opened it and handed it to him.

Ranpo took it in silence and drank from its contents. As the other was mostly self-conscious around him to notice anything else, one of his eyes opened slightly and let his dazzling emerald orbs bored right through the other’s soul.

He guessed that lost kittens had an interesting side after all.

No more hard-headed Saturdays They got it, they want it, they give it away Tell me one thing you would never do I was looking for a hooker when I found you

Ranpo was used to it by now.

The incompetence and inefficiency of the police in this place was something that irked him in the past but he grew mostly out of it and regarded them with a cold indifference and distaste.

But this was one of those days that his backhanded comments and smart aleck remarks had made Ranpo landed himself in hot waters with one of the police officers.

He didn’t look like it but he had a basic knowledge of self-defense techniques from Fukuzawa himself which wasn’t to be trifled either as he was trained by a previous assassin.

Besides Ranpo view the other people who resorted to violence as a retaliation as a lower being than himself as he found them dull and lacking in sharpness in thinking that fists could solve everything.

Ranpo was ready to block out the other’s officer’s incoming fists when someone blocked it already much to his brief surprise.

His eyes grew wide for a moment as he stared at Atsushi’s paws effectively caught the other’s fist and blocked his attack.

“I’d appreciate it if we don’t resort to violence sir. Especially not hitting on Ranpo-san who’s currently lending his hand and skill as a detective in solving this case.” Atsushi’s firm voice rang out.

It was rare to see and hear Atsushi being like that.

He knew that he got some hidden claws but it’s usually overshadowed by his meekness and insecure behavior most of the time.

“Tch. Whatever. Don’t think that both of you are some hotshots just because your talented people.” The officer sneered as he withdrew his fists and walked away grumbling to himself.

And just like that.

Everything went back to normal.

You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes You'll never be mine, ah, but you've got my eyes

“I can defend myself earlier.” Ranpo’s casual voice shattered the deafening silence as they’re both walked back to the train station after Ranpo solved the case at the pier.

Orangey hues spread out through the sky as the sun was already setting down in the late afternoon.

“I know Ranpo-san… But deducing something from a complicated crime such as this in just less than a few minutes is a great talent itself even greater than my own honestly… And people such as the police officers should learn to respect and appreciate that…” Atsushi paused and looked at him with a serenely downcast expression on his face, a fragile yet smile of understanding marring his features.

It made Ranpo paused gazed at him with a brief expression of being taken aback for a few seconds.

And that’s when Ranpo knew.

Atsushi was one of the genuinely accepting and selfless people he had met in his lifetime.

When you lie, I cover it up When you hide, I cover it up When you cry, I cover it up When you come undone, I cover it up

Ranpo had realized his initial lukewarm reception towards him.

Because he saw his younger self in him.

Naïve. Accepting. Kind.

It disgusted him.

But he was more disgusted at himself.

He had turned into some jaded, cynical being disguised in the faux sweetness of his confectionaries and quick remarks to other people.

Emotions hadn’t been his strong suit and Ranpo knew that his sharp tongue and disposition with other people had always got him into trouble rather out of it.

But an unknown, niggling feeling within him had urged to take a good look at Atsushi and pay more attention to him.

And his intrigue grew with each moment passed them by.

So pent-up, I was coming home to you Happy in the nighttime, howlin' at the moon Sippin' on a cocktail, drinking in the loo There's something about you I hold on to

Days trickled by that turned into weeks.

They both found themselves in being partnered often in missions together.

Mostly because aside Atsushi being too kind in refusing tasks and partners being assigned to him, he was one of the few people who possessed a genuine patience that can rival a saint when it came to dealing with Ranpo’s fractious personality.

Their silence inside the train rides slowly turned into occasional small talks: mostly with Ranpo commenting idly on his observations about other people and ranting about everything else. Until it turned into a two-way street of conversation between the two of them.

Ranpo found out even with their stark differences, they have oblique similarities.

They’re fiercely protective of people they care about even if it’s in the form of different entire beings.

Opinions of the people they greatly respected and admire about were both important to them.

When the train ride was over, Ranpo had looked over the horizon where the sun was setting peacefully.

A maelstrom of emotions was awakening within him as he stayed longer by Atsushi side.

And he didn’t want it to end.

When you lie, I cover it up When you hide, I cover it up When you cry, I cover it up When you're blind, I cover it up

(A/N: Yeah, pretty damn late getting into this fandom. But what can I say? Ranatsu is the first rare ship that caught my attention in this franchise, and I just had to get this out of my system. Reviews are amusing so let me hear them from you).

64. Violet bruised eyes // Ranatsu

—

��You are an idiot,” Ranpo snorts, staring at his bruised eyes. “Who did Dazai piss off this time?”

Atsushi sighs and leans back in his seat. “Some thugs that were causing problems in a nearby shopping district. I wasn’t allowed to seriously harm them.”

Ranpo shakes his head as he wraps a cloth around the ice pack before gently pressing it against his lover’s right eye. “You should have ignored the orders. Or be at least smarter at holding them in. Just look at you? Both your eyes a bruised. That’s just annoying, A-tsu-shi-kun.”

Atsushi frowns at Ranpo and sighs once again. “Yes, yes, next time I’ll just come back with a few broken bones and jobless.”

“Idiot, the president won’t fire you. He likes you too much to do that, besides…,” Ranpo speaks, pressing the icepack against the left eye now, “… I won’t let him do that.”

Atsushi raises an eyebrow at those words and Ranpo smirks at him.

“After all, you’re a great assistant for someone as amazing as me.”

But Atsushi sees the words for what they are: Ranpo doesn’t want him gone because he cares. 

He smiles warmly at the other. “I’d forever lead you to any train you want, Ranpo-san.”

Emerald-colored eyes gaze at the black-ish bruises around his lover’s eyes. They shine a peculiar shade of purple in the light and Ranpo wonders how many times Atsushi’ll come back with bruises littering his skin, unhealed by the tiger in him, and tight smiles hiding the pain. 

“… Would you come with me to my destination even if it means we might get so lost that we won’t make it back?”

He knows it’s an unfair question—Atsushi has many people that he cherishes and would loathe to leave behind and never see again. Ranpo knows he’s being an insecure asshole but it’s just—

Atsushi’s smile widens, eyes wearing a kind gleam.

“I’d follow you to the end of the world without any regrets.”

—Ranpo’s in love and love does not follow any logical explanations and terms.

[bbyboogz]

Cold but sweet kisses (Ranatsu)

It was a rainy day. and Atsushi looked out of the agency window then looked at his paper work that he was doing. He sighed before going back into his work. Dazai and Kunikida was on a mission in this weather. Atsushi felt sorry for them and he hoped Dazai wasn't causing Kunikida to much trouble. Atsushi looked up to see Kyoka and Kenji playing a board game. He smiled at them having fun. Kyoka noticed that Atsushi was looking at them so she looked at him. "Would you like to join Atsushi?” Atsushi smiled. but shook his head "I have to finish this paper work but maybe later.” Kyoka nodded and continued to play the game. Ranpo was sitting on his chair with his legs folded on his desk. he hummed while likcking his lolly. Ranpo looked at Atsushi, at first he didn't like him but hes grown to like him. Ranpo had a strage feeling that Atsushi was giving him. He didn't know what it was. He knew that Atsushi was normally thinks about him. Ranpo never realy ceared that Atsushi was thinking about him that much becase he was the world gratest detective. Atsushi knew that someone was stearing at him so he looked up and saw Ranpo. Atsushi blushed alot then smiled nervously while rubbing the back of his head then quickly looked back at his work. His heart was thumping hard he thought it was going to explode in his chest. Atsushi had a big crush on Ranpo. He loved him from the first mission he had with Ranpo but he wasn't aware at first he thought he was just hot he only knew he had a crush on Ranpo because he asked Dazai what those feeling were. Dazai was shooked when he got asked that. but he explaned that he was in love. ever sice then Dazai has been nagging him to tell him who he has a crush on but Atsushi tells him nothing. Ranpo gasped he figered it out!!!

comment for part 2...

[bungou-stray-butterfly]

Ranatsu Headcanon 2

Ranpo ABSOLUTELY knew about Atsushi's crush on him before Atsushi himself knew.

Actually the entirety of the ADA knew about Atsushi's crush before he did rip tiger boy

Once he figures it out, Ranpo would drop hints that he likes Atsushi too.

The problem is that he's too subtle about it. He'll praise Atsushi a little more often and get a tiny bit more physical with him, but that's about it. Atsushi does not catch on and he's internally dying the entire time.

Yosano gets tired just watching them.

Yosano: why not just make things easier and tell him?

Ranpo: where's the fun in that?

[fy-soukoku]

What's your opinion on Ranatsu??(A rare-pair, I know ;_;) (I want to write some hcs but I'm not sure if I should + I've never posted any content or writing before so)

Hmmm. I’ve never thought of it before, but I’d definitely be interested!!!!! I’ll gladly read whatever you write for it! Rarepairs are the best thing in this wretched world! 

(plus it’d be hella cute lbr)

[beedok]

For the ship meme, Ryoga/Kasumi, Akane/Akari, Ranma/Konatsu?

Ryosumi: B(+). Apart for the love of pigs, she fits Ryoga as well as Akari does, and I think his outdoorsiness is a good way to help Kasumi get out of her shell.

Kanekari: C, I think. They’re fairly cute, but don’t draw me in too much. Unless it’s boykane. Then it bumps up to a B. (I kind of lean towards thinking of Akari as having straight energy, so that option feels more natural to me.)

Ranatsu: Probably a D? I like them as besties/adoptive siblings (Nodoka adopting Konatsu makes my heart warm).
