Ranpo raised an eyebrow “What are you planning, Poe?” he asked, making me grin.

Poe: grinning “Just a little treat to keep you quiet.”

Ranpo took the lollipop “What makes you think I need something to keep me quiet?” I noticed the skepticism in his expression

Poe: leaning closer “Because I know how much you love to talk, but sometimes you need to listen more.”

Ranpo mumbled as he sucks on the lollipop “I am listening…”

Poe: “Not to me, you’re not. Now, behave, or I might take this away.” I grinned teasingly.

Ranpo looked up at me with puppy eyes* “You wouldn’t do that…”

Poe: softening “Maybe I would. Now, be good, and finish it.”

Ranpo smiled mischievously “Fine..”
