#i could totally see ranpo sending poe some cryptic messages over a device poe has placed on ranpo (initially secretly but ofc ranpo-

[irritablepoe]

do either of them get jealous when they are watching or spying on the other? if they are in the same place do they continue to stalk each other even after it is revealed or are they more direct with the other one? is it possible for either of them to act controlling (either on purpose or accident) because of the history of stalking?

OHHHH they would so get jealous. i mean poe is kind of a given i'd say, he's easily jealous, but i'm always scraping together the little evidence i have for ranpo being a jealous person as well, i think he is with the people he likes, like fukuzawa for example? kind of? and fsdhfshdkks he just HAS to get absolutely batshit crazy when poe gives other things or people attention. i mean that might be a stretch but when he reveals he's been brooding over the manuscript from mushitarou ranpo was kind of like "ugh that's so boring" which actually felt ooc? i think? bc i mean he loves mysteries right? so he's only interested in poe's mysteries apparently? or he wanted to impress poe? or compliment him? whatever it is that's going on in that brain of his i don't really know lol :3 but to get back on the topic i'd like to think they'd both get insanely jealous!

and i think they would just continue out of habit yk, and bc it's becoming their way of saying here i thought of you today :)) also a way of communicating probably like ranpo forgets his phone at home and he's jsut sending messages through gestures or sth. i'm sure ranpo would prefer that way of communicating anyways tbh

and hmmm, i think it would go to the point eventually that they just lack the communication then.. like they can't go further than what they're doing and can't tell themselves straight to the face what they're thinking yk? i don't think it'd escalate on a level of controlling the other though, i think they'd just explode at each other one day? (i want them to yell their feelings at each other anyways lmao)
