[ POE POV ]

Ranpo had somehow convinced Poe to join him to go shopping for sweets, for he had almost ate his whole stack already. Poe hadnt been too hard to convince tho, even if Ranpo was regardless very persistent with it.

' ' Why do I have to join you?? Karl must already be wondering where I dissappeared, oh... My poor Karl.. , , Poe whined about his pet raccoon while getting pulled to the store with Ranpo, who seemed rather cheerful even if his so called rival was being whiny.

' ' I thought you would enjoy some time out once in a while. , , Ranpo shrugged.

Just as they were about to enter the candy shop, Ranpo got a call from god knows who, for he didnt exactly tell Poe before already starting to speak on the call.

Poe just let out a sigh, taking the chance and glancing around while Ranpo was still focused on something else. Poe wasnt really the most focused on the way he looked, but he took the chance to grab something nice looking if he did find something. And right beside the candy shop sat a piercing shop.

it seems Ranpo had ended the call without telling Poe, because the next thing Poe heard Ranpo say was right next to his ear as Ranpo whisper-talked, ' ' You want to get a piercing, dont you? , , Poe jumped slightly in surprise.
