something 'bout the strangers and the noise

Title: something 'bout the strangers and the noise
Fandom: Bungou Stray Dogs
Character(s): Poe, Ranpo, Kunikida
Pairing(s): Ranpo/Poe
Genre: Fluff
Word Count: 555
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None
Summary: Poe gets distracted by text messages.
Notes: For Season of Kink, "phonesex/sexting". I wrote this both because there's no Ranpoe and because Ranpo needed to text like a douche.


The jingle chiming on Poe’s phone lets him know that he’s gotten a text. As he pulls his phone out of his pocket, he mentally goes over who could possibly be texting him. Not his publisher, they usually prefer emails. It’s probably something automated like his phone bill…

It’s Ranpo.

hey ;)

That winking emoticon instantly garners Poe’s distrust. At the same time - it’s Ranpo, so Poe can’t do anything but drop everything he’s doing to answer him.

Hello.

what r u up 2

If Poe ever writes a novel in which a self-absorbed prick sends a text message, they will type exactly like that, based on personal research.

Working on a short story. What about you?

trying not 2 work. bored!!!

Maybe you wouldn’t be bored if you were working?

not that desperate

Poe is still considering his reply when another message from Ranpo comes, and he nearly chokes when he reads it.

what r u wearing ;)

WHAT.

still pretty desperate tho!

This is not flattering, it’s just embarrassing. Poe should really lecture Ranpo about getting back to work for once in his life, or just take his phone and throw it in the trash can, then burn the trash.

Instead, he looks around, despite the fact that he’s in his own home with no chance of anyone else being in there without his notice.

Pajamas.

its 2 pm

I live in a house by myself and I rarely get visitors. I can wear pajamas however long I want to.

hehe i wont judge

Poe feels pretty judged. It’s sad when Edogawa Ranpo is the one commenting on your lifestyle choices.

What are you wearing?

usual stuff

That’s helpful. If it were anyone other than Poe, they might not be able to picture Ranpo clearly in their mind’s eye. Hat, poncho, tie… Ah.

Have I ever told you that I really want to pull on your tie?

nope never

Well now I have. It’s such an easy target to drag you in with.

i could go 4 that. what would u do next

Kiss you, obviously.

There’s a long, long pause, and Poe panics. Has he overstepped the unspoken bounds of this conversation? He and Ranpo aren’t really in a relationship, so maybe Ranpo was just messing with him?

He’s about to send an apology text when his phone buzzes again.

Don’t encourage him to slack off by sexting. -Kunikida

Oh. Okay. He wants to shrivel up and die now.

Yes, sir.

Poe tries to get back to concentrating on writing, mostly failing for the rest of the afternoon. Several hours later, he receives another text.

im off work + have my phone back

Shouldn’t you be no longer bored and desperate then?

dont have 2 be desperate

Poe’s glad Ranpo can’t see how red his face is right now. He can probably deduce it from how long it takes him to answer anyway, but there’s some comfort in him not actually seeing it.

Should we pick up where we left off?
