Intro
One day, specifically a Tuesday where Rampo was at a confectionary store, he had a thought.
'I want a sibling.'
It was a random thought, but one that Rampo had many times over the years. When he was younger, when he still had his parents and begged for a younger sibling, though that was never able to come true. Then, when they died, he never thought much about it, even as he grew older and sometimes wondered what would be different if he had a younger sibling.
Yes, Rampo was the second oldest of the Armed Detective Agency, which meant he could, theoretically, take one of the members as a younger sibling. Except, Rampo didn't want to share, which he'd have to do if he made one of the Agency members his sibling.
So, the better option? Find one himself! Of course, the great Rampo Edogawa already knew where to look!
The park!
... Where Rampo may had to have been dragged away from by a confused Atsushi and Doppo after Rampo accidentally weirded out a few parents. And people. Everyone, really.
Hm. Well, Rampo may be a genius, but he supposed most people wouldn't really get it. Whatever.
So, the search continued. Weeks and weeks, Rampo searched for someone who fit his criteria of a younger sibling; smart, cute, and most importantly, younger then him.
Then, when Rampo had thought he'd never find someone who fit that criteria, he saw them. It was a young adult, estimated to be at least 18 if Rampo was right — which he always was — being kicked out of a... police academy?
"—and stay out! You're expelled!!" A man yelled, before slamming the door shut on the young person, throwing their belongings into the air. Rampo instinctively reached out when a slip of card swayed over, his eyes scanning what he saw.
Their name was first, Atlas. Then, was their date of birth, residence, and— oh! Wasn't this familiar? It didn't take Rampo long to understand what had happened, the story already clear to him.
Atlas was just like Rampo. They had been kicked out of a Police Academy, just like Rampo, for most likely exposing a corrupt cop or teacher. They were smart, incredibly so, just like Rampo.
Rampo took a look at the ID card once more. Smart? Check. Cute? He looked over at Atlas who was picking their items up from the ground. Check. Younger? A glance at the ID showed that, yes, they were younger.
Looks like Rampo now had a younger sibling. Perfect.
"You know, you will eventually come down, right?" Rampo called out, looking up at the lamppost, where Atlas was clinging onto after they climbed the damned thing like a monkey.
Honestly, this kid — who was very much an adult, but Rampo was older and he was ignoring that — was very resourceful. Perfect younger sibling material. Plus, Yukichi was definitely wanting someone to dote over like a dad. Don't look at him! Yukichi would have adopted anyone he came across, like a grumpy cat herding tiny ducklings.
Speaking of ducklings...
"If you come down, I'll share my sweets, Duckling!" Rampo called out, waving a bag of gummy worms in the air like an offering, standing on his toes to be even taller. Which was basically impossible.
