NEEEED YOUR HCS ON BEAST SOUHEKI IMMEDIATELY THEY MAKE ME SO MISERABLE /pos (Sorry I've been trying to write a fic of them for Ages and now they're taking over my brain I hope you don't mind </3)
AAAA IT WOULD BE MY PLEASURE SWEET ANON!!
(these hcs are sorta ooc since I also had a whole AU in mind)
How they met: Yknow how Beast! Dazai has knowledge of the OG universe? Yeah, so does Beast! Ranpo because why wouldn't he, he knows everything after all!! So, no one knows who the PM boss is but the ADA wants to send someone in for a meeting to gather information, and who better to send than their genius?
B! Dazai is a real flirty guy, just like his OG self, but obviously our beloved detective falls for none of that:
B! Dazai: oh what an adorable guy they sent! B! Ranpo: *ignores him.* B! Dazai: got a name pretty boy? B! Ranpo: Ranpo Edogawa. B! Dazai: I'll call ya Sherly, since you're like Sherlock Holmes!! B! Ranpo: (omg why did I agree to this...)
Eventually, B! Ranpo reveals he knows about the OG universe and his tampering with the Book to the let Oda live, instead of being angry that his plan was ruined he... was relieved? Of course B! Ranpo knew why, he was glad he didn't have to shoulder this burden alone: more flirting continued and, the detective bit back out of annoyance and pure interest: not only did this make the PM boss a flustered mess, but he also pleaded for him to visit as often as he could.
Curiousity got the best of the detective and, he went.
Lots of "B! Ranpo just reading while B! Dazai glances over his shoulder" kinda thing.
B! Ranpo is really physically affectionate while B! Dazai is very deprived of it, once the detective saw his reaction, hugs and ruffling hair became a regular.
Feelings began to stir up but no one admitted anything.
Until B! Dazai asked him out, while drinking tea.
Normal date?? NOPE! They set fire to a rich guy's mansion and ran on the rooftops like robin hood.
Rumor has it they kissed!
The rest is up to you dear:)
(I AM SORRY FOR THE ASK GLITCH I EDITED THIS)
