Detective's trouble| R. Edogawa

Prologue

He rushed to it only to see a woman in police outfit picked it up. Anxiety began to rush over him. She noticed Atsushi and walked towards him, smiling "is this yours?" She asked already handing the cookie box to him "Y-yes, thank you very much" Atsushi smiled as he took the candies. He headed towards the shelf, once again, didn't know what to choose. The police woman noticed and walked towards him, stopped once she was two feet away.

"Is there something wrong?" She asked smiling but formally "h-huh? Oh nothing, it's just...I don't know which ones to buy..." the albino felt stressed and embarrassed at the same time. He used to always buy based on the list, it was his first time he had to buy things based on his taste. Other than crepes, poor boy didn't even know if the candies are delicious or not.

"No problem, i can help" she smiled as she walked towards the shelf "R-really!? Thank you so much but...you don't have to..." He said in happy yet stressed tone. Didn't expect a police to help him buy candies "it's fine, i'm helping as a police, don't worry about it. So, are you buying for someone?" The woman asked. Atsushi raised an eyebrow "yeah....my superior" he said.

"I see, were you told any kind of special snacks?" She asked as she was searching among the candies, Atsushi joined as well "N-no, he didn't give me the list this time" he said. The woman paused for a moment "hmm...well...buy the ones you think are the most tasty among all. For example, this" she grabbed a pocky and held it in front of Atsushi.

"Oh i understood, thank you so much!" He smiled happily as he took the pocky. The cover was red and a few pocky pictures on it but various tastes. "No problem, i hope it was useful. Have a nice day" she waved as she passed the albino. He stood for a moment, before going back to pick up the candies.

"You are late, Atsushi!" Said the greatest detective as he saw the albino coming his way with two full plastics on his hands "sorry, Ranpo-san" he then placed the plastics on his desks "ooh, let's see what do we have here~" he cooed as he pulled the snacks out of the plastics one by one and placed them all on his desk. "Very well, you're good at choosing snacks" he gave Atsushi a thumb up "thank you, Ranpo-san. It wasn't just me though" he smiled sheepishly, almost mumbled the last part

"Did you say something, Atsushi?"  Asked the spiky haired detective as he munched on his snack "o-oh, do you need anything else, Ranpo-San?" He asked "Hmm....Nope, you can go now" he smiled while bitting on his candies "understood, thank you Ranpo-san" and then he walked away.

The spiky haired detective finished his first snack in less than five minutes. Didn't know where to start, he just observed his candies then one caught his attention, he reached for the red cover and pulled it out of the rest candies. Pokies with various tastes. Not just that, he already knew the whole reason why Atsushi was late. Looking at the pocky cover with various colored chocolates on it, he opened his emerald eyes.

______________flashback, twenty years ago____________

"Found you!" Yelled a little boy with spiky black hair and emerald eyes "no fair! You found me too fast, you probably saw where i was hiding" pouted a little girl with (h/l) (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes as she stood up and stepped out of her hiding place.

"I didn't see where you were hiding. But of course i knew, because i'm the best detective! And when i grow up, i'll be the greatest detective in the whole word!" He yelled in joyous as he raised his hands up to the sky "I'll be the best detective too!" The girl added, smiling at her friend's behavior

"hmm? Nope! There can't be two best detectives in the world, besides even if you'll be a detective you can never pass me. You still have long way to reach me" though his words were somehow offensive, he meant no offense.

The girl pouted "th-then...i'll be a police, i'll be the best police in Japan!" The girl said in excited tone "very well, you can be my right hand. But I don't think i'll need one because i'm the best detective!" He added. The girl chuckled in defeat "fine, oh by the way, since you found me, i give you rewards, this is for you" she said as she handed him a pocky.

"What's this?" He asked curiosity as he took the pocky "it's called pocky" she showed it's box to the boy "by the way, aren't you the best detective? So you should have known what it's called" she teased "of course i knew! I wanted to test if you knew too!" He pouted. The girl chuckled.

_______________end of flashback_________________

The crimson pocky box was exactly like the one he saw couple decades ago. He smiled

"You still have good tastes in sweets, (Y/n)-Chan"
