Hurt/Revenge
Title: Hurt/Revenge
Fandom: Bungou Stray Dogs
Character(s): Ranpo, Oda, Oda's kids
Pairing(s): None
Genre: Hurt/Comfort-ish
Word Count: 805
Rating: PG
Warnings: Bullying
Summary: Ranpo doesn't mind being an uncle to Oda's kids, in his own Ranpo way.
Notes: AU where Fukuzawa adopts Oda after the events of The Untold Story of the Founding of the Detective Agency, but Oda still adopts his kids. They're good kids.
Ranpo is not qualified to take care of children, but he doesn’t mind being an uncle.
Oda’s kids like him. And why wouldn’t they? He’s amazing. Ranpo likes them too, as long as he doesn’t have to provide for them or discipline them or keep track of them around the clock or do any of the parenting things that Oda takes care of.
Shinji, who clearly has the best taste in role models, says he wants to be a great detective like Uncle Ranpo when he grows up. Ranpo laughs at this and says that he’ll never be better than Ranpo, but he can try to be almost as good as him.
Sakura tries to steal his candy, coming up with more and more elaborate plans to get it from him without him noticing. So far she hasn’t been successful, but if she comes up with something incredibly inventive (for a four-year-old) Ranpo may reward her with a lollipop.
Katsumi wants to learn how to be so good at martial arts that he can even beat Fukuzawa, and asks Ranpo for tips. Ranpo always tells him that he’s never going to win, but this never dissuades Katsumi one bit. It’s good to have goals, even if they’re totally impossible ones.
Yu likes to try to come up with trivia that Ranpo doesn’t already know, most of which he gets from the internet. Occasionally he actually does find something Ranpo wasn’t aware of beforehand, and for this he gets a pat on the head.
Kousuke, who thinks he’s practically a grown-up at nine years old, likes him the least. He says Ranpo’s “mean to Odasaku” and “better be careful if he picks on him too much”. Oda always reassures him that Ranpo’s being positively nice.
He’s not wrong. Ranpo hadn’t been thrilled about Fukuzawa taking in an assassin, and had spent most of their early years suspicious of Oda, convinced that he might have to warn Fukuzawa about an attempt on his life at any moment. Now he knows that Oda wouldn’t kill Fukuzawa, or kill anyone unless he had absolutely no other choice, so he’s relaxed some.
Anyway, Fukuzawa likes having unofficial grandkids, so Ranpo’s sure he’d be unhappy if Ranpo tried to run Oda and company out of the detective agency.
Ranpo likes Oda’s kids, but he doesn’t realize how much he likes them until Kousuke comes home from school with mud on his clothes as well as his backpack, and a few smears on his face that show he did his best to clean it off with only a school bathroom available.
“One of the boys in my class stole my backpack and dropped it in the mud,” Kousuke says, with a sour expression. “When I tried to pick it up, another one pushed me into the mud too.”
Oda inhales deeply, an action Ranpo has learned to interpret as ‘I am angry but I don’t want to show that in front of my kids’. “Did anyone else see this happen?”
“Most of the class,” Kousuke says as he pulls his mud-stained shirt off over his head. “A couple of them laughed, but mostly they just ignored it.”
“And the teacher?”
“Ignored it. I’m gonna go wash up.”
When Kousuke leaves the room, Oda looks to Ranpo. “Is that normal for schoolchildren?”
Right, he’s never been in school. “More so every year.” The rising numbers of kids being bullied in school isn’t something Ranpo has ever been concerned about, not until a minute or two ago.
Shinji comes to Ranpo an hour later, while Oda and the other kids are attempting to cheer Kousuke up, with a piece of paper covered in his own messy handwriting. “These are the names of the kids who pushed Kousuke-nii into the mud, and this is the teacher’s name, and here are their phone numbers,” he says.
Already hard at work at becoming a great detective, huh. Ranpo didn’t even have to ask. He could have found out that information by himself in a second, obviously, but it’s even easier just to accept the paper before ruffling Shinji’s hair.
Even that affection can’t completely wipe the worry off Shinji’s face. “You’ll make them stop bullying him, right?”
Ranpo gives him a grin. “Of course I will. Who do you think I am?”
When Kousuke reports the next day that somebody filled the teacher’s desk with mud and ruined his lesson plan for the day, Ranpo says, “Must’ve been those kids again!”
“They said they didn’t do it. They looked pretty scared about it, too.”
“Huh, really? Weird!”
Ranpo doesn’t mention those kids waking up this morning to find ‘last warning’ written on their windows in sealed-over mud.
Shinji gives him a grateful look, and that’s just as good as verbal praise.
