With Shinichi I only ship him with Kaito and vice-versa but with Ran I want her to have a chance to dip her lesbian fingers in many pies wink wink. She deserves it.
Anyway, thinking about Ran becoming smitten with Aoko when they meet at a heist. Aoko is being harassed by the more hardcore fans of KID because of her protests against the thief and it's clear she is very outnumbered and cornered and Ran comes to her rescue.
Aoko takes Ran to a cafe as thanks and shares her woes about how she is always treated like that at KID heists and Ran is upset to hear that, she shares some of her less than stellar encounters with KID and has fun hearing Aoko's anger at the thief over it (Kaito, you've knocked her out multiple times and has tried to grope her before, unlike Sonoko and Shinichi, she is not your biggest fan). They bond over more subjects and Ran is very happy to leave the cafe with a new friend (and a growing crush)
Ran is very enamoured by the passion Aoko shows towards her KID protests and so whenever she's attending a heist with Shinichi and Sonoko, she'll find Aoko and act as her bodyguard against any of the more insane fans. Aoko too is happier to have someone in her corner for a change and if Ran looks very hot when she's threatening men who are trying to intimidate Aoko, she's not going to complain.
Soon Ran and Aoko are meeting beyond KID heists, just having the time of their lives together and growing closer and closer. Aoko is the one to make the first move, placing a kiss on Ran's cheek after one such day and soon after they're introducing each other to the other's childhood friends
(Which may or may not result in Kaito and Shinichi finally admitting their feelings for each other outside of a heist).
Aoko still dislikes KID but she can be thankful for his heist, if only because it let her meet Ran.
After kaishin.... the next thing you know is Aoko and Ran being related too.
Maybe their mothers are cousins or something?... we'll probably learn that in another 20+ yrs... probably (hopefully not, and dcmk as a whole will come to an end (conclusion) before gosho dies)
I am so fed up with Gosho honestly.
This will most likely be the last dcmk post i'll be posting for a while now (until exams are over atleast) (no promises tho ^^; )
Maybe some RanAo - getting ready for date night and Ran hyping up Aoko? 👉👈
So sorry for the delay! It's not exactly to the prompt, I had a hard time fitting the vibes, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!

date night
“How am I supposed to do it, Shinichi?” Ran asks him, frantic. Ran is on video chat with him, so through the screen on her phone, she can tell he's exasperated. But honestly, she's out of ideas. Shinichi’s the oblivious type, but Kazuha and Hattori-kun aren't quite there yet, so she can’t ask Kazuha, and he's the one with a dedicated partner he’s kept somehow, so...
“Don't ask me!” Shinichi says. “I've met her what, once? Is she the kind of person that wants a big romantic gesture, or does she prefer something quiet?”
“I don't know! It doesn't seem like she minds small things, but I've seen the way her eyes light up when we watch something romantic together. Should I do it at a fancy restaurant? A date at Tokyo Tower? Or how about maybe going for ice cream and doing it in the park, next to the fountain? Though it’s really been too cold for that. I could wait until Christmas, maybe? Or take her up north and do it in the snowfall?”
Shinichi sighs. “Honestly Ran, I think she'll just be happy enough that you asked. I could tell that she really loves you.” The loud sound of a door slamming in the background, and Shinichi's face moving from indulgent to worried. “Uh-oh.”
“Is it…?”
“Yeah, and in full crisis mode. Sorry Ran, I'll have to call you back.”
“All right. Talk to you later, Shinichi.”
“See ya, Ran.”
And that leaves her back to where she was before, sitting at home alone with no idea how to propose to her girlfriend. Which she is hoping to do. On their date. Her date for which she hasn’t settled on a location.
But Ran’s also worried. Kuroba-kun being upset usually means Aoko’s not too far behind. She puts some water on for the tea, cuts up some lemon, and scrounges in the cabinet for honey.
Like clockwork, her phone lights up with a message from Aoko. I’m sorry, it says. I just can’t do it tonight.
Ran’s disappointment is immeasurable and her day is ruined. She can’t help the resentment that wells up towards Shinichi’s boyfriend. That ass. Ugh!
She sighs, then she makes herself a quiet dinner, still mulling it over, no closer to a solution that she was before.
Ran's doing dishes when she hears a knock on the door. She wipes her hands on the towel next to the sink “A client?” she says to herself. There shouldn't be anyone today.
She opens the door to find Nakamori Aoko standing there, soaking wet in a beautiful floral blue dress, now ruined. Her hair is straggly and plastered against her face, her eyes are blood-shot and red-rimmed, her mascara running down her face. She looks terrible, and even though Ran isn't a detective proper, it doesn't take her long to deduce the cause.
“Aoko!” Ran says, hand flying to her mouth. She grabs her coat from the hook and wraps it around her, guiding her to the sofa and sitting her down.
“But s-shoes!” Aoko-chan says, teeth chattering, near tripping when she tries to slide them off so she won't dirty the floor.
“Don't worry about them,” Ran says. They're muddy, but, “It's nothing that a good little bit of scrubbing won't get up. Besides, your comfort is more important than a clean floor. Let me make you some tea to warm you up, all right?” She’ll have to reheat the water, but that’s nothing, really.
“You don't have—”
“Let me, all right?” Ran says sweetly, but it's clear that she will not tolerate any response other than yes.
“All right,” Aoko says. Ran kneels down, slides Aoko's heels off, sets them down in the entry way.
Ran busies herself in the kitchen while Aoko looks around. They've been dating for a while now, but this is the first time she's ever come inside her home proper. Ran comes out in a moment with some towels, looking Aoko over. “Why don't you go take a shower? If you leave the door cracked a little, I'll put out some clothes for you.”
Aoko takes her up on her offer, water hot enough to near scald her skin, and she has to admit that she does feel a little better afterward. Ran has a cute little boat neck top and a pale blue skirt out for her as she steps out. Aoko didn't even hear her come in. She squeezes the water from her hair and then braids it, still wet, pulling it over her shoulder.
A short while later, she sits back down on the sofa, and Ran presses a steaming cup of tea into her hands, sitting down next to her, knees touching Aoko's.
“You don't have to talk about it,” Ran says. “I can just keep you company if you'd like.”
Aoko bites her lip. She can't talk about this to Keiko because Keiko doesn't know the whole story, and Akako-chan intimidates her just a little. She'd met Ran at Police Headquarters after a case that had involved...Kaito, and Ran has truly proven to be an amazing person in the time she's known her. Aoko can't believe Ran asked her out. And Ran knows, if not all of it, then enough to understand.
She's heard a little about Kudō-kun, and Aoko thinks—Aoko thinks she would understand. Kudō-kun and Ran are very close still, for all Kaito has moved on from Ran with him, and well—
“Bakaito’s an idiot,” she says, redundant.
Ran nods sagely, taking a sip of her tea. “I’ll drink to that.”
Aoko sips her own tea. It heats her down to her toes. “It’s stupid.”
“Not if it hurts your feelings,” Ran says. “It was obviously significant enough for you to end up on my doorstep in tears.”
"It's just, he was just teasing, but he said I dressed like a grandma. I liked that dress." Aoko sniffles, holding on to her cup. "It was a small argument and it escalated and we argued about different things, old things, and I don't know, I felt too ugly to leave the house." She spins the cup around. "I still feel too ugly to be here," she says.
"I always thought I was plain," Ran says, sending a furious message through her phone.
"You're kidding!" Aoko blurts out.
"Still do, actually. My mother said I'd grow into it, but honestly, I'm average and okay with it."
"Well I think you're beautiful," Aoko says.
Ran smiles. "I think the same about you." But then she tilts her head, thoughtful. "Well, maybe beautiful isn't the word I'd use." Before Aoko can even feel hurt, Ran adds, "Sexy is more like it."
Aoko blinks. "What?"
"You are the sexiest thing alive," Ran says. "When I saw you giving the task force a piece of your mind, I knew I had to get to know you better." Ran's phone pings. She looks at it and smiles.
"O-oh," Aoko says, blushing furiously.
"I think I like you best like this," Ran muses, staring at Aoko with such warmth it takes her breath away. "No make-up. Skin hot from the bath." Ran's voice grew husky. "In my clothes."
Aoko swallows.
Ran laughs, still husky. "In fact," she says, bringing out a box from her bag and opening it. "I want to marry you."
"Ran—"
"I know, I know, it's not legal yet. But when we're able—"
Aoko throws her arms around Ran, knocking her back against the sofa. "Yes!"
"Not exactly how I was planning to ask you," Ran says. Aoko's eyes are sparkling, and she wants to kiss her.
So she does. They kiss long and languid, Aoko wedging a knee between Ran's thighs.
"Date night here isn't so bad," Aoko says, resting her head on Ran's large, soft breast.
"I'll take you somewhere special," Ran says, playing with some drying strands of hair that had fallen from her braid. "Propose to you properly."
"I'd like that," Aoko says.
They lay in silence a few minutes together, Ran still stroking Aoko's scalp.
"There's still time to go out," Ran says. "I can help you get ready."
Aoko sits up. "It's really okay! You don't have to go through all that trouble—"
"Imagine Kuroba-kun's look when I let you borrow what Sonoko calls my man-eater dress and post our pictures together."
Aoko giggles. "He's not going to know what hits him."
Ran smiles, demure. "What do you think? Good revenge?"
"It's a start," Aoko says.
Ran wiggles her phone. "I've already guaranteed he's getting the couch tonight~"
"Oh, you are devious. I knew there was a reason I loved you," Aoko says.
"Just one?" Ran asks.
"A lot more than one," Aoko says, giving her a very slow once over, eyeing her very fit body. "two, three, four…"
"Dessert after dinner?" Ran asks, giving her a once over in turn. She really does look good in her clothes.
"We could have dessert first," Aoko says.
"I really like the way you think," Ran says, and she links their fingers together, pulling her into the bedroom, and shuts the door.
