Even though you both promised not to mix work and your relationship, it was hard. Sometimes Chuuya wanted to come home and hit you for causing him problems at work, and sometimes he wanted to get some privacy during work and show you all his love . But no, he had to be serious.

And even when you stuck him and yourself in Edgar's book over a disagreement at work he kept his cool. But damn, he wanted to kick your ass just because he was doing everything for you and you stuck him in a book with a hundred people, fifty of whom are criminals. Seeing you starting to surely get to the bottom of this, Nakahara decided to stop you. The original plan was to tie you up and gag you, but there was no rope around and no time. Chuuya decided that if he couldn't get out, neither could you. So Nakahara pinned you to the wall, holding you by the scruff of your neck and literally holding you breathless, tickling you and kissing you. You wouldn't get out unless you named all the criminals, would you? He'd punch anyone who called this plan a bad idea.

"Shut up, Ranpo," he muttered, eventually clamping your mouth shut to get some air himself. "You're a great detective, of course, But I'm good at shutting up great detectives. ."
