[ patience ] from mushi jdghkdj
❛ AH - AH - AH , mushi - kun . ❜ pointer finger ticks side - to - side like the loll of a clock’s pendulum , specifically and purposely that of the one mirroring their booth —– in which the two movements are not - so - coincidentally synced . ranpo breeds pettiness only where ranpo sees fit , and this particular moment of chastising his company’s restiveness is snug as a bug in that regard .
( afterall , this is his hour of need , of course —– though not to be confused for every other hour of every single day . )
elbows come up to slide along the table , palms carrying the weight of his head as if it were melting beneath that honeyglazed daze . one might diagnose such an expression as a symptom for the illness of love , and their only mistake in that would be assuming such a position could only ever be filled by another human being and not the delicious smell of honey and vanilla wafting throughout the bakery around them.
for a carefully - prepared dessert , ranpo would gladly watch the rest of the world burn . ❛ if you’re all loud n’ rowdy like that , the souffle will fall flat as a pancake , and then i’ll have you arrested for ruining my lunch . ❜ the rarity of direct threat sits on a lackadaisical hum . ❛ i can only help you once my belly is full . without me , you’re outta luck , so you might as well sit tight and stop fussing . business garble comes later —– after lunch and after a nap . ❜
