#and don't even get me STARTED on shipping Fukuzawa and Ranpo

[knightpetrichor]

i have so many bsd zombie apocalypse fic ideas in my google docs folder and idk which to write so im posting them here lmao

Soukoku

Fifteen-year-old Chuuya is on the run from Arahabaki Lab---the lab that tried to perfect the ARAHABAKI Project, an experiment with the goal of creating a human immune to the zombie virus that's ravaging Earth.  Chuuya searches desperately for a place where the scientists can't get to him, even if it means crossing the Wastes, the large expanses of infested land between Suribachi City and Yokohama, where he hopes to take refuge.

However, the Wastes are hard to cross, and when Chuuya runs into a boy who offers to guide him to Yokohama, he says yes. Dazai is annoying, but he's a good shot; and best of all, he doesn't ask about Chuuya's past.

The trip is long and dangerous. Zombies, violent groups of survivors, and scavenging missions are all hazards, and if they want to survive, they have to work together. Fighting their way through the ruins of Japan, bickering, and encountering new people, the two grow closer, but Chuuya begins to wonder... just who is Dazai? And what is he hiding?

2. Ranpoe

When the apocalypse started, Poe lost all communication with his best friend, Ranpo, who lives overseas in Japan. Now five years later, Poe decides to go looking. (Or: Ranpo and Poe are long distance besties, The Guild are a smuggling ring with a giant ass boat that is actually plot relevant, the Armed Detective Agency are doing ADA things in Japan.) (Or: Poe and the rest of the Guild sail to Japan on the Moby Dick five years after the apocalypse after like 50k words and ranpoe canon)

3. Kunikidazai

Kunikida and Dazai are college roommates that don't really get along. but after the apocalypse starts, they have to work together to survive, at least until they get to the safehouse on the other side of the city. But as they fight their way through Japan, they end up getting closer. (Dazai is immune to zombie bites lol. The idea of having a scene parallel to that one in Dazai's Entrance Exam where Kunikida threatens to shoot Dazai but its because Dazai might turn into a zombie??? mmm)

4. Fukumori (ik, im suprised too. i dont even ship them, idk where this idea came from)

When Fukuzawa was 32, the world ended. Now three weeks later, the Silver Wolf travels from place to place, searching for somewhere to settle down as the chaos of the apocalypse takes Yokohama by storm. When he finds a seemingly abandoned building, he hopes to start a new life there, away from the city.

However, Fukuzawa is not the only one looking for somewhere to live. The building he had intended to make his home was actually an elementary school—and the four children left; Ranpo, Yosano, Dazai, and Kunikida, are still alive. Most interestingly, there is a man there—a children's physician who introduces himself as Mori Ougai. His leg is injured, but as a doctor, Mori is a useful asset to both Fukuzawa and the children, so the two make a compromise: Until things in Yokohama calm down, Fukuzawa will scavenge for food and protect Mori and the kids, and Mori will take care of any medical necessities. It's only meant to be a temporary arrangement, but time passes, Fukuzawa and Mori stay; more kids are rescued, friendships form, and before they know it, years have gone by. (Or: i slamdunk fukumori into the found family trope)

5. Fukuzawa + Ranpo

This is just an Untold Origins zombie au.

When the apocalypse started, Fukuzawa lost his best friend. Five years later, Fukuzawa is a powerful hunter capable of bringing a whole hoard down. And he does it all alone. But when he saves a 14-year-old boy from a zombie hoard and the child insists on staying, he finds that maybe it isn't too late to try again. And when the kid gets in danger, Fukuzawa has to choose between keeping his current life, and starting a new one.

anyways. if any of you guys want me to write one of these, pls comment. (or if u guys want to use any of these as prompts, go ahead, just tag me when ur done writing !! i want to see the finished product lol)

Bungou Stray Dogs Roleplay Request

Hello! The name's Azul. I'm an 18 year old who loves Bungou Stray Dogs. For a few days now I have been trying to find long-term roleplay partners who knows the fandom of Bungou Stray Dogs.

I have been in the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom for almost a year now, and let me just say I really adore all of the characters except for Mori.

The problem is that I have never experienced roleplaying the fandom BUT I am now wanting to experience roleplaying the fandom and possibly explore the AUs.

I have cosplayed a character from the fandom before and that is the one and only; Chūya Nakahara.

My future cosplay would be Ranpo and I'm excited about it but at this very moment I am working on collecting all of the books.

×More about me with Roleplays×

When it comes to roleplaying, I try my best to stay in character even though sometimes it's hard to.

I'm not an advanced-lit roleplayer, but I am a semi-lit. My roleplay lines are about 5-7 lines, but it may go pass 5-7 lines or below, it all depends on my creativity/motivation.

I do a lot of Genres, so if you want an dark/angst, drama, adventurous, fantasy, romance, etc. Then you came to the right person for it. I will allow all types/gens for your interest of the roleplay.

I have a lot of ships in mind!

I do NOT roleplay with minors(apologies) the ages I feel comfortable with is 18 up to 24. If you're 17 turning 18 soon I will allow it.

×How I got into roleplaying×

I have started roleplaying since the age of 12. To be honest the very first time of roleplaying, is when I got forced to do a roleplay in a public server on Discord. Somehow in the past, I thought to myself that roleplay will never be my taste of interest because on how I got forced, but once I got used to it, I have never stopped roleplaying.

×Roleplay Rules×

I'm very sensitive to animal deaths, so i will also ask politely to not kill any animals, if we decide to roleplay.

Please do not ghost me, I do have a time limit with roleplays, and that is if you don't reply for two weeks I will stop the roleplay.

Please tell me that the roleplay is getting boring, and we'll try to discuss things out, or even try a different roleplay but still in the fandom of BSD.

I do allow ocs, and ocs x ccs but only for double-ups.

Please being kind at all times when we're talking out of roleplay, sometimes it is hard for me to understand due to having a speech disorder.

Don't be homophobic because I do ship bxb, gxg sometimes.

I do roleplay on Discord. My user is __.autumn.__ add me and we can discuss more on there. When I accept your friend request please tell me you are from here so I'd know.

Well this is it for now! I can't wait to meet you if you are interested in roleplaying with me. See you then!

[starlightshadowsworld]

Atsushi who was never saved by the Detective Agency.

No one came.

It was too much of a hassle, the President was out and didn't know so he didn't order them to find him.

Atsushi saves Kyouka and they're able to get to safety, finding a lifeboat before the whole ship went down.

They head to the Detective Agency but overhear Fukuzawa scolding them for abandoning Atsushi.

He learns that Ranpo knew where he was, that they all refused to go after him except for Junichiro and Naomi.

He stands there, heartbroken and Kyouka takes his hand leading him away.

Atsushi breaks down, the first people to care about him left him to die because it was too much of a hassle...

The Orphanage was right.

He says as much but Kyouka reminds him that he saved her.

You said people who can't save others don't deserve to live right? But you saved me, you do.

He supposes that she's right on that even if it doesn't feel true.

With nowhere to go, they both go on the run. Getting disguises and finding an abandoned apartment to stay in.

They become like siblings in all but blood.

They don't have much but they make things work.

Atsushi has several odd jobs, he doesn't have the skills for anything better and given his bounty he tends to work in shadier places.

Places that don't ask too much questions.

And Kyouka helps around their teeny flat.

At times she wonders why Atsushi won't just turn her over.

Especially with her bounty and how he can barely support them both. But Atsushi flips the question on her. Why not turn him over for his bounty?

And realising that they really do have each other, and they are all they have.

Kyouka learns to be a kid again, they both frequent the local park at night when it's empty and play together.

They stow away on trains and see places they've only heard but never been too.

Although she still hates going out on her own, constantly watching her back and afraid her phone will ring.

Her footsteps are so light they can't be heard, she has to teach herself to walk like anyone else would.

Demon snow she refuses to use but if Atsushi can use his ability to protect, the once rampaging tiger... What if she could...

Atsushi says he'll support her whatever she chooses and she hugs him.

It's been so long since she's felt unconditional love. This, this is what she wants. To not stay in the shadows when light like this exists.

She wants to protect, doesn't want to kill.... She wants to protect, Atsushi in particular and herself.

Atsushi changes too, his eyes more often than not are empty. He smiles but only rarely does it reach his eyes.

He has nightmares, they both do but while Kyouka remains silent, Atsushi wakes up screaming.

It hurts seeing him look afraid and hurt.

Sometimes it's about the Orphanage, other times it's the agency. Her heart breaks seeing him sob over not being enough.

Especially because it's not true.

Atsushi works himself ragged to look after them both, and even than always gives her the bigger portion of food.

He's kind hearted and caring, he saved her as a complete stranger and even more so as her brother.

Kyouka enjoys the moments she manages to get him to smile. Like when he taught her how to cook and she made him Chazuke on her own.

He'd said it was the best he had.

She teaches Atsushi how to to steal and sense danger, they sparr with kitchen knifes and slowly but surely he starts to get better at fighting without relying on his ability.

He keeps a gun on him even if doesn't like using it, he'd do anything to protect Kyouka.

He did wonder about his ability but given that Atsushi never officially left the agency he's still affected by Fukuzawa's ability, giving him more control over his tiger.

It's this and some other clues that lead to Atsushi coming home one morning and finding Dazai sat at the table.

Dazai had been taken prisoner by the Port Mafia and hadn't been happy to learn about what happened to Atsushi.

He was his superior after all, Atsushi was his responsibility.

So naturally he tracked him down.

Atsushi just stands there looking at Dazai with empty eyes.

He loves Kyouka, she's the sister he never had but what the agency did hurt Atsushi a lot.

He had trusted them only for them to leave him to die.

"Is that anyway to treat a house guest?"

"... Why are you here?"

"I wanted to see how you were doing, you did go awol on us. I'd have at least liked a goodbye."

"... Goodbye."

Dazai, frowns his humour fading. "Atsushi if you leave the agency you'll lose the Presidents ability and lose control over again."

Atsushi shrugs "than I guess I'll go back to bring a monster."

"Even if it means you could hurt Kyouka?"

That.

That got him to pause, that's right of he turned back into that... He could go on another rampage and hurt Kyouka.

He couldn't do that... Not ever.

"If he goes I'm coming with." Says Kyouka, having woken up and stood in front of Atsushi with her sword unsheathed.

Dazai nods approvingly "I'd expect nothing less."

He looks down with a sigh "Atsushi... I am truly sorry for everything, I had no idea until I escaped. But I will make this up to you, I promise."

Afterall Dazai remembers those empty eyes, how callously Atsushi talked about himself.

That he deserved death just for existing, and Dazai had decided to take him under his wing.

What had Odasaku said? Protect the orphans and all that.

And what can he say, the kid had grown on him.

The same kid who looked like death itself, it was clear he'd been barely scrapping by.

"... Alright. But I've got a job first" said Atsushi, he looked down at Kyouka "you okay for the next hour?" He'd drop it if she said the word, she knew he would.

She nodded handing him his lunch with yesterday's leftovers. Atsushi hugged her and gave Dazai a nod before leaving.

Kyouka faced him "if you hurt him I'll kill you."

"Fair enough. Oh and the Mafia should be leaving you alone, though Kouyou asked to see you when you return. Atsushi and I can do with you if you want."

Kyouka nodded, it was better than she expected.

"Do you want leftovers?"

"Sure!"

When Atsushi he returned Kyouka had long since finished packing their things, they'd be moving to Atsushi's old Agency dorm.

She would be speaking to the President about joining the agency once they'd settled in.

But for now Kyouka took Atsushi's trembling hand in hers. He smiled great fully and took a deep breathe as the trio left for Yokohama.

Atsushi didn't look anyone in the eye when he walked in, his head was low as the whole office went silent.

He missed Kunikida's relieved sigh of relief, Junichiro's and Naomi's smile. Kenji waving at him, Yosano scanning from afar if he had any injuries.

Ranpo's shocked than happy expression, even he wasn't sure if they'd ever see Atsushi again.

Dazai stood beside him like a guard as Fukuzuwa smiled warmly "welcome back Atsushi."

Atsushi nodded, he didn't say anything. He didn't speak much these days unless it was to Kyouka.

They'd missed him that much was obvious.

But they had a long to go, and Kyouka wouldn't let them hurt Atsushi ever again.

BSD S5 EP 9

I have not finished the episode yet but I've just gotten to the Fukufuku backstory (specifically the part where they just met and its night and they're lying on the floor together) and, these two are fucking dark timeline Renga from sk8! 'The way of the sword is enjoyable!' and 'I'm going to master the sword alongside you' vs 'skating is fun!' and 'I want to skate with you infinitely' I swear Fukuchi even did the same hand movement that Reki did at some point. Energetic sunshine (at least at the moment) x calm and collected. I am getting such strong Renga vibes from that scene and it's driving me insane.

OK I JUST WATCHED TWO (2) SECONDS FURTHER AND NOW WE'RE IN A FUCKING SHOJO ANIME! BONES LOVES OLD MAN YAOI SO MUCH! THIS IS SO GAY! WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CHERRY BLOSSOMS!!? A CHERRY BLOSSOM PETAL IN THE SHAPE OF A HEART JUST FELL INTO FUKUZAWAS SAKE(?) AND THEN BROKE INTO TWO. THEY'RE NOT EVEN BEING SUBTLE WITH THE 'THIS (ROMANTIC) RELATIONSHIP IS ABOUT TO GO O SHIT' -NESS

DONT DO SYMBOLISM WITH THE FUCKING BIRDS YOU DUMB SHOW! I SEE WHAT YOU'RE FUCKING DOING! For context, they were having a conversation but the focus was on these two egrets? herons? anyways, and then one of them just flew off when Fukuchi said that he was gonna be promoted and sent to the battlefield , which is what separated these two. I'm going to die, I'm not entirely sure why but I am. /pos

Fuck it, I'm committing to the live blog. enjoy seeing my live uncut reactions folks!

The animation is so pretty bro, bones adores their old man yaoi.

Ok, old man yaoi backstory is over , and before I move on to the next thing I just wanna say, young Fukuzawa was so fucking cute! He was an old man even when he was a baby! he was adorable! and honestly so was Fukuchi! I'm very sad that he became the way he is now, war really does stuff to people, huh?

Ok I'm a little bit confused, I didn't realize that he had told that United Nations guy the half-truth. But whatever, that's on me I guess.

OK! JESUS FUCK THE MORE I HERE ABOUT THE WAR THE WORSE IT GETS. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE SOLDIERS HAD TO EAT EACHOTHER AND WERE SHOT FOR TRYING TO DESERT! MAYBE I SHOUD HAVE EXPECTED THAT IT IS WAR BUT JESUS CHRIST!

God, Fukufuku are so gay. I know that stabbing someone isn't exactly romantic but he Fukuzawa did the thing where you grab onto the other persons clothes and after Fukuchi stabbed him his head ended up resting on his chest. This is PEAK romantic tradgedy.

Teruko, I love you. She looks so pretty and she is so hecking smart and I just adore her. She let Atsushi go! Woohoo!! Also, Atsushi's hallucinations are really coming in full force, huh? He is seeing so many people.

Dazai and Sigma are so silly, I love them, Dazai stop flirting for two fucking seconds challenge. Also, it's fun to hear that Dazai is screwing around with Sigma while thinking of Kunikida! Truly every ship is being fed this season! Except sskk, but we did get Aku in Atsushi's hallucinations doing a thing so that's kinda a win for the gays!

Wow! What a nice elevator! I'm sure nothing bad will happen here!

Oh catgirl, you left us too soon.

I must say, I don't really have much to say on the Meursault section. It was good! The animation was great as it usually is for the Meursault sections, Sigma was so pretty I love him and! Dazai did the thing where he played with Sigma's hair! Woo! Fyodor was his usual level of kinda ugly in anime form, Dazai is showing emotions! more of the sillies, Dazai fucking stood on Sigma, which is delightful, aaaaaaand it's started to flood! Fuck!

Anyways, back to the very start of this episode before I was overcome by the homosexual-ness of Fukufuku, Aya Bram Kunikida and Tanizaki got yoinked! Fuck! I still have a theory that Tanizaki could be doing an illusion and I will make a post about it one day. And also, please excuse me for saying this because while I am still upset about Ranpo being hurt... watching Fukuchi pick him up by the scruff of his neck like a cat was kinda hilarious. Also, Teruko I love you. You're the only hunting dog that heard about Fukuchi's real identity and didn't immediately die. Girlboss fr. Also also, where are Lucy Kyouka and Yosano :D? W-where did they go? Asagiri please I need to see my girls.

And to once again revisit the old gays, Holy Shit that was so gay. Nobody told me that the Fukufuku backstory was a Sports Anime tm that turned into a war drama in the second season! I knew we said they were divorced but I never realized just how married they were before the separation! Wow! Fukuzawa smiled so softly at Fukuchi! They were such sweet kids! Aagh!

This was a good episode! I liked this! Excited for next Wungo Wednesday!

[lnkedmyheart]

To be honest, I feel like Oda is more of a mentor type of figure to Dazai. He is someone he looks up to and respects a lot (and even loves because surprise surprise we can love more than one person that too in different ways). It is like having a senior in college. He is someone Dazai cares a lot about and wants to keep safe and sound.

The only reason we don't see him being like that with Chuuya (people actually pointed out him not caring about Chuuya getting hurt) is because he knows of Chuuyas strength. We know that Dazai is flawless. For some reason there is a deep belief in him that Chuuya can overcome whatever is thrown at him. He believes in Chuuyas' physical and mental strength as much as he believes in his humanity. For him I feel like Chuuya is someone indestructible especially physically.

Why do people compare them I have absolutely no idea.

On that note thought normally as a curiosity what do you think about Odazai ship like would they work (if Oda was alive)?

I sort or struggle to fully put Oda in a mentor position for Dazai. Still for me they do fit several mentor parallels. They fit the Fukuzawa and Ranpo parallel cause of the intensity with which Dazai latched onto Oda is similar.

They fit the Adam and Chuuya parallels in that there is obvious affection there. And their final words and opinions on Chuuya/Dazai matter to them a lot. The difference being that Adam reaffirmed that he was gladly willing to die for someone like Chuuya and Oda reaffirming Dazai's belief of never being worthy of being happy.

They fit the Kouyo and Kyoka parallels a LOT because both Kouyo and Oda heavily project their own experiences onto the kids and sort of refuse to accept that they have a future actually doing good or getting out.

They fit the parallels with Dazai and Atsushi as well except that in Atsushi's case he is idealistic like Dazai, sort of puts him on a pedestal but is not above calling out Dazai's bs while Dazai was very blinded by his idealistic view of Oda to the point that he refused to acknowledge Oda's faults.

Oda can be seen as a mentor figure yea, but I think he is more of an ideal that Dazai views as untouchable and perfect.

I personally don't care if people ship Oda and Dazai, it's just not for me. I personally think they lack that spicey toxicity that makes ships work deliciously while also lacking the core understanding that makes skk click for me. I do see it as a one sided crush on Dazai's side but more on the platonic side. Dazai's little shippy jokes about Gide and Oda sort of cement in my head that he wasn't particularly interested in Oda romantically but he did love him, or rather the idea of him. Oda shows absolutely no romantic interest in Dazai whatsoever, often viewing him in a light similar to the kids he took in while simultaneously denying him the benefit of the doubt of being an innocent stuck in a bad place. Like...Oda doesn't view Dazai as a good person, he thinks Dazai is meant for bad things and that he needs to supress that bad side when in actuality Dazai was just a child being influenced by his negative circumstances and failing mental health.

For me personally, oda and dazai would be a ship that sort of starts strong in that both have this flawed idea of each other and then soon after it just fizzles out cause of the realisation that they never actually knew who the other was.

Dazai's feelings on Chuuya are far more complicated than Oda so honestly comparing the two feels pointless cause those two dynamics are not comparable. But I agree that Dazai genuinely sees Chuuya as untouchable too. Atleast until sb when they find out about corruption, the one thing that can take Chuuya out, logically speaking nothing can touch Chuuya. He is smart, agile, strong and insanely powerful and he doesn't need Dazai to get him out of things. That being said, Dazai not caring that Chuuya got hurt is such a weird take cause when did he not care about Chuuya getting hurt? Is it the torture thing? Dazai explicitly says he knows Chuuya won't break but he also is obviously stressed about the torture going on too long. That man never tells the truth when it comes to his fears so obviously he made up some bullshit about deliberately waiting after. As for him claiming that he found Chuuya struggling under corruption entertaining in the lovecraft fight, Dazai said that TO CHUUYA. The entire time he kept talking about how Chuuya didn't have much time left, never took his eyes off the guy and they couldn't really stop corruption till lovecraft was taken care of which was taking a while till Dazai found out about Lovecraft's weakness and set off the bomb inside. And it's not like getting captured and tortured is not SKK strategy 101. Bro has done it multiple time.

Bungo Stray Dogs Season 1 Anime Review

Does Include Spoilers....

Ok so I started watching Bungo Stray Dogs and like most I started because of Dazai. He was sexy and even with his wish for suicide he just got to me. Then I watched the first season and was so happy I did it pulled me in fast. Dazai quickly lost the main reason for the show for me it honestly became my favorite character in first season being Atsushi Nakajima. He had so much heart and compassion that the rest lost so long ago. He made me feel as he learned who he was and who he could help. I grew a strong liking to the character and even shipped him with Kyōka Izumi the way he saved her and even the fact he took her on a date they were just too adorable not to love. Ranpo Edogawa caught my interest mainly cause the voice actor Hiroshi Kamiya who played Baldr Hringhorni in Kamigami No Asobi. I was really surprised that Doppo Kunikida even grew on me and his comedian side to him of how he was with Dazai and always knocking the crap out of him but I could tell he was a good man. Anyways Kunikida's power is pretty cool "The Matchless Poet". I love how he can throw the cards out and whatever it is appears. I also think him and Dazai work so great together.

Now don't get me wrong Osamu Dazai is still a big part of the show and I found it funny how he was about the whole suicide with a beautiful woman. It left me wondering why he wanted to die so much but I know its shown as the seasons go on cause I started season 2 already and already starting to understand but I will leave that in season 2 review of it. So the relationship between Jun'ichirō Tanizaki & Naomi Tanizaki was so weird at first but fuck it I didn't even care they were siblings because not only do you easily forget but they don't look alike at all I feel like maybe there is like an adoption kinda story to them maybe. Anyways you know early on their is not only a relationship with them but its also sexual. However when she almost gets killed the way he responds to losing her and later as well he doesn't get even as a brother he gets even as a lover so I'm gonna treat them just as that fuck it, its not like sibling loves bother me much in anime/otome world. Plus not gonna lie Jun'ichiro his power "Light Snow" is pretty damn neat.

Yukichi Fukuzawa seems like a stickler in the beginning but you find he truly believes in his team and he grew on me. I felt like he cares about each and everyone of them and will fight for them at any cost. He is practically Daddy to them all and I think they would fall apart sometimes if he wasn't the lead of it all. Chūya Nakahara seems to be a cool character but of course I feel like he isn't really a main in the first season however I find him actually pretty attractive as well but I swear its how he dresses more than anything its so damn sharp looking. He gives me that true mafia/yakuza feel to how he looks and dresses. He seems to have anger issues but I love his banter between him and Dazai however I don't see this romance so many want and like. I will pass for now both men are hot and I would gladly be in between these men could make a very interesting smut story thats for sure... lol.

Michizō Tachihara seems like a crazy fuck but still pretty cool character so far based on the first season at least, look forward to seeing him more later he has my attention at least. Even though Ryūnosuke Akutagawa is an asshole in the first season he has one of the coolest powers by far his Rashōmon power like a dragon like creature that he can cut people down easily with. I feel bad for Ichiyō Higuchi because you find fast she is so damn in love with that man and he treats her like pure crap however doesn't stop her from taking on the enemies to bring him back when he is captured. The one sentimental moment where he grabs her hand after she saves him I really wanted after he told her he was sorry I wanted her to tell him she loved him I wonder if it would have changed. I feel like his issue is he doesn't even see her following to him is because she loves him. However its a very toxic relationship at least first season, I just hope it gets better because I think they would be good together plus bad guy or not he is fuckin hot too. Speaking of Ichiyō Higuchi honestly girl has some balls and she will do anything even die for that man I can respect her because she probably could have gotten out from what you get from her but she refuses to leave his side. Gin Akutagawa I still don't know much about him but still seems mysterious and attractive cause of that.

After breaking down the people that all made it interesting for me, yes I know there is more these just happen to be my list of favorites. Still amazes me a show with alot of hot bad guys kinda reminds me of Piofiore in that sense. Anyways I feel like it brings a decent amount of action however every part doesn't have to have it which I really like since I normally don't watch ones that are too heavy on it. I love Dazai's power and how he can hush any of the others with his power practically neutralizing even some of the worst bad guys. I still don't see anyone being gay and I will stand by that and I'm ok because seriously too many hot guys for me to even think about them together I would rather think about them being straight makes it easier to fantasize about them then. Overall I would gladly recommend this to anyone whether your into otome and shoujo the most I think you could still like this if nothing but the comedy side of things. I look forward to the next upcoming seasons as I catch up I will write my review on each season.

Ranpo Edogawa

Bungou stray dogs

☆There was one case this precious cinnamon roll couldn't solve.

☆You. It was you. Why you ALWAYS made his heart pound when you give him snacks (lmao obviously) or why he feels so giddy when you smile at him or why he feels like he just one some kind of spelling bee when he impresses you.

☆He was no fool, of course. He knew he liked you. He was just in denial because he wasn't sure if you liked him.

☆It bothered him the most when you marvel at his intelligence and then he goes all 'yeah she definitely likes me' and then a few hours later you're actively flirting with Dazai and making suicide plans together.

☆Sometimes he even questioned if you actually liked guys after seeing you hold hands with Yosano.

☆He hated being inlove. And being inlove with you wasn't making it easier.

☆Perhaps being flirty was just your personality and you treated him no sweeter than how you treated the others.

☆Maybe He just needed some alone time with you to figure things out.

☆All of these conclusions were running rampant in his head one day at the ADA until Fukuzawa entered the room.

☆"A small gang of ability users have been causing havoc on Yokohama's docks and won't let any of the ships set sail. They're abilities don't seem dangerous but just to be sure I want all of you to check it out since we have our hands free for the rest of the day" Fukuzawa spoke.

☆Most of you lazily stood up from your seats and obliged. Only you, Dazai and Ranpo were left in the room. Both of you were going to leave as well.

☆until Ranpo spoke up in a slightly unintentionally high pitched voice.

☆"I.. I can't go. My abilities aren't even fit for fighting." He said nervously and then continued. "Annnd... I want (Name) to stay here as well. We have some important reports and uhh... important things to attend to."

☆Everyone knew him enough to come to the conclusion that he was just slacking off... but then why did you need to be with him?

☆The cogs slowly started turning in Dazai's brain as he figured out what the ADA's great detective was trying to do.

☆Slyly, Dazai placed an arm around your shoulder. "But (Name) and I are gonna have some quality time together in this mission." He smirked and looked at Ranpo tauntingly.

☆Ranpo sighed and with a slight pout, gave a quiet "Okay. Some other time maybe." as he sat back in his chair in defeat.

☆Both you and Dazai arched your eyebrows. Ranpo was never one to give up this easily.

☆Dazai took his hand off of you suddenly feeling guilty for cock-blocking(can i use that word?)Ranpo.

"On second thought, I don't need (Name) anyways.They can stay here with you while you confess to them." Dazai said and abruptly left the office, slamming the door shut and possibly even locking Ranpo and yourself in.

☆The room was quiet and both of you were red, Ranpo from embarrassment and you from well... Ranpo.

☆God knows how much you loved this boy and would jump out the window if he told you so. (simp)

☆"C...Confess?" You stammered out. Did he like you? Was that what this was all about? Or... maybe he was going to tell you how much he hated you or how he found you annoying or how he thought you were a dumbass for always asking him for help on cases.

☆You're overthinking was cut short when he called your attention.

☆"Don't listen to Dazai. He's just messing with you, (Name)." He managed to blurt out. "So the reports..."

☆"The reports." You repeated awkwardly. You absolute God-forsaken dumbass.

☆Now, Ranpo hadn't thought this far into his alone time with you plan and handed you a random folder from his desk on a whim. "I need you to read this and tell me what you think about it." He said confidently.

☆You sat next to him and opened the folder.

☆only to find that it was filled with candid pictures of you, facts about you which all seemed to be hand-written by Ranpo and had little drawings of hearts at the sides.

☆It was unbelievably quiet as you stared at him, and he stared at the folder, not wanting to meet your gaze. A blush creeping at both of your faces.

☆Ranpo was absolutely mortified. His mind felt like it was going to short circuit as he observed all the small 'Ranpo x (Name)' he had childishly written the other day. Why would He leave this folder in plain sight? That wasn't like him.He could have sworn he hid this in his safe. Someone else definitely left this here on purpose. (*cough* dazai *cough*)

☆He felt as if the quiet was going to last forever until you spoke up. "I... I think its lovely."

☆"You do?" He asked, surprised. "I mean of course you do... I made it."

☆"Why?" You questioned, not wanting to jump to conclusions even though it was right there in front of you.

☆It took Ranpo all the pride he had gained over the years of being Japan's best detective (self-proclaimed) to say the next few words. "I love you."

☆Yet another silence made it's way between the two of you

☆Ranpo, fearing that this quiet was your way of rejecting him, was contemplating on taking that confession back and ruling it as a joke. (It's just a prank, bro)

☆Until you lept into his arms and gave him a peck on the cheek. "I love you too." You smiled.

☆Ranpo thought for a moment, happy that you reciprocated his feelings but no way was he having that half-assed sorry excuse of a kiss.

☆You yelped as he pulled you back and wrapped his arms around you. "Can I... kiss you? Properly?"

☆You chuckle and nod and just like that, you two were making out.

☆

☆

☆

☆you both pull away to catch your breath. "We should get going and help the others with the ability users on the dock." You say.

☆"No need. They already let one ship sail." He smirks and pulls you back into a hug.

☆"Huh which one?" You ask with your eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

☆"Ours."

A/N: Yea i get it. Cheesy. But i like em fluff
