Δ playing with their hair ---► ranpo to poe

＊ . Chamomile tea sets Edgar’s mind at ease. A sip of its heat softens his shoulders, relieves his throat. It’s not the plan which concerns him, of course; he has complete faith in Ranpo’s machinations. Similarly, he has faith in himself. Trust that he considered the consequences. Trust that he considered the risks. Trust that, despite all odds, he chose correctly. Ranpo is a worthy rival.

And Edgar is a good shot. He took to it well all those years ago. The military is known for many, many things, some good and some bad. They taught Edgar how to paint dirt with viscera. In that violence, he found a comfortable routine. He’s not lost his aim while in the Guild. Timing remains ingrained in his bones. He will never forget the adrenaline, nor the phantom recoil from long after the deed is done.

He is ready to repeat history, and he’ll do so in a dance with his nemesis. From the looks of things, Ranpo is also rearing to go. Their eyes meet as Edgar puts down his cup and fixes his tie. The last few buttons of his coat close in sharp precision. His hands aren’t shaking, his nerves are gone.

Then Ranpo’s hands reach his hair. Like a startled cat, Edgar shrinks. Fingers grip tight on the final closure. He fumbles with it as if it weren’t already fastened. “Oh, uh—” Dark fabric bunches worse as Ranpo pushes Edgar’s locks from his forehead. He combs them, adjusts them, and twists one strand around his finger. Edgar guesses his intent. He’s far too recognizable with his hair down. Right.

Understanding this fails to dispel the itch on his spine. Ranpo continues long after Edgar’s hair is styled, after all, with his mindless ministrations. The sensation conflicts. Repetition soothes, but proximity aches. Without thinking, Edgar releases his strangled suit and places his palms over Ranpo’s. Wrists hover just slightly. He’d rather hold his weight up than press fully down.

“If I over-comb my hair,” he begins, “it will thin.” Ranpo isn’t combing his hair. That’s not what this is. But— “I look fine, don’t I…?” It’s enough by now. It must be. Edgar worries he will go bald if this continues, though not from Ranpo’s touch. Stress is unkind like that. Better avoided entirely.
