⊹ ࣪ ˖ before you read...
pairing(s) : PM!Ranpo Edogawa x executive gn!reader
work type: headcanons
a/n: ignore if there are any grammatical errors gulp.. this is not proofread TT also, this will obviously be kinda ooc hehe... I still tried to incorporate ranpo's canon personality even in an alternate universe tho!!(♯ihopeididagoodjob)
⊹ ࣪ ˖ PM!Ranpo Edogawa ノノ 𝓦ho's often in your office more than his own. if someone looks for him and he's not found in his office, they'd know exactly where to check next. it's turned into a habit by now.
it's actually quite hilarious, actually. a subordinate would knock on your door asking for Executive Edogawa and the man is sprawled on your couch with his coat covering his face, his unfinished snacks on the coffee table next to him.
“give him a moment”, you'd say, still skimming through paperwork without looking up. ranpo would eventually wake up and very irritably address the subordinate whose come to ruin his beauty sleep.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ PM!Ranpo Edogawa ノノ 𝓦ho knows how your mission went without you even having to tell him. you didn't NEED to tell him anyways, he already knew before you even stepped foot into headquarters.
you'd walk into his office with a smile and he'd immediately deadpan you with, “you got shot on your left shoulder and you're refusing to get it checked. are you trying to bleed on my couch or something?”
you have to pause for a second, have to mentally remind yourself that this was RANPO EDOGAWA. of course, what were you even thinking? trying to hide these kinds of things from him was pointless.
he immediately drags you to the infirmary after, or he just slides a first aid kit over to you and instructs—no.. ORDERS you to get the wound dressed(lovingly). he will be watching the entire time.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ PM!Ranpo Edogawa ノノ 𝓦ho absolutely REFUSES to join combat missions unless absolutely necessary. it simply was not his thing at all. he'd rather sit back and deduct missions from his office with an open bag of candy.
but if Mori were to personally order him to go into the field due to certain circumstances, the only person he'd willingly stand beside during the whole mission is you. not because he needs your protection, God no. it's because aside from Mori, you were the only other person who knew how to translate his impossible deductions into immediate action without questioning him.
you never ask "why" when he suddenly tells you to shoot the third floor's 5th window to the left instead of immediately going for the sniper on the roof, or whenever he suddenly orders a change of route in the middle of a mission.
you trusted him and his brain more than anyone.
݁⊹ ࣪ ˖ PM!Ranpo Edogawa ノノ 𝓦hose greatest act of love isn't grand declarations or dramatic promises, It's trust. in a world where he sees through every lie, every motive, every hidden agenda, you become one of the very few people whose words he accepts without needing to analyze them first.
if you tell him “I'll come back”, then you'll come back. not because his deductions guarantee it—but because, for once, he chooses to trust your promise over his own endless calculations.
coming from the man who can see through literally everything and everyone, there is no greater proof that you've become home to him.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ PM!Ranpo Edogawa ノノ 𝓦ho doesn't—NEVER—tries to comfort you with empty words. cause every word he says is never empty. it was always simply just the truth. and who was to ever question Ranpo Edogawa.
everytime you wake up from a nightmare, breathing unevenly, shoulders shaking, he'd just roll over and wrap a lazy yet grounding arm around you.
“..go back to sleep, you know none of it was your fault. I've told you this 67 times now”, he'd mumble into his pillow before turning his head and opening his eyes to look at you.
“it wasn't your fault, none of it was”. simple words, but it was enough to ground you and get you back up on your feet.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ PM!Ranpo Edogawa ノノ 𝓦ho has absolutely no shame when it comes to using his executive privileges for ridiculous reasons. he knows damn well he can do anything, cause the mafia needs their greatest strategist to be satisfied at all times to ensure 100% success rate.
“...ranpo, why is there an invoice for 15 boxes of imported candy?”
“Mori approved it ^^”
you're not even surprised cause of fucking course he did😭😭😭😭
⊹ ࣪ ˖ PM!Ranpo Edogawa ノノ 𝓦ho refuses to let you accompany him on any missions that he'd been specifically assigned to. alone.
it's not that he doubted your capabilities or combat abilities, no of course not. never. but because he knew exactly how dangerous a mission could get whenever Mori sends him on a one-man. an unpredictable mission that can even push an executive down a peg or two.
sometimes you argued with him over it. but he'd never budge. he just silently and patiently listens to you and let's you finish before saying:
“If you're beside me, I'll spend more time calculating how to keep you alive than solving the case”. you'd stare at each other and he'd look away first, surprisingly.
“...it's inefficient”. he's not trying to downplay your feelings, that's just his silent way of telling you he didn't want to think of any scenario where he's forced to choose between you and an objective.
PM!Ranpo Edogawa ノノ 𝓦ho notices whenever you're having a hard time with yourself after work, be it mentally or physically.
work in the mafia was gruesome, everyone knew that. and surprisingly, it sometimes even takes a heavy toll on executives.
whenever these rare moments occur, ranpo always makes sure he's near you or is constantly in your space. if you're both in your office, ranpo would scoot a little closer to you while you're doing paperwork. during executive meetings, he would make sure he's always seated across from you or next to you. he's a silent, grounding presence.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ PM!Ranpo Edogawa ノノ 𝓦ho treats your presence like a guaranteed constant, and your attention like something he can demand without ever saying please.
he'd lean into your side during important conversations with other executives, unbothered by the fact that you're talking about infiltrating another organization's base and eliminating all of them.
“is it really necessary for Ranpo-san to be listening to us like this?”, an executive would ask while staring at a very distracted ranpo. (is reading a detective novel probably)
“he wouldn't listen if I told him to go away anyways, just ignore him. now where were we—”
⊹ ࣪ ˖ PM!Ranpo Edogawa ノノ 𝓦ho, despite everything, has moments of startling vulnerability that only you are allowed to witness. these moments are rare and unplanned. you never know when they could happen, but you're always prepared.
after long days, when even his mind feels heavy, he will lean against you without any commentary. no teasing, no whining, no playfulness. just silence.
and you've learned to stay absolutely still whenever he needed you during these times.
In these moments, he's not the Mafia's "greatest strategist"—he's just a boy whose brain never stops, finally choosing one place to rest even if its only for a short while.
and he trusts you not to move.
a/n: there wasnt enough ranpo works here so I decided to write PM!ranpo for my own guilty pleasure. please take note that this is my own version of PM!ranpo and he probably wasn't accurate to your own interpretations of him (≧∇≦)/
Okay so like. I adore the idea of pm!ranpo wearing an eyepatch. But here me out.
He still has his glasses. But he wants the eyepatch thing for whatever reason (why are we putting him in an eyepatch, again?) And thus wears one of these things. Boom. Eye covered and we maintain the glasses quo. And they come in all sorts of fun patterns for when he's feeling silly. Or plain but come on its Ranpo.
