"oi, shinra. we're out of groceries." (y/n) called out inside her kitchen, slightly raising her voice so that she was sure that his male companion heard her loud and clear. however, she didn't hear a single reply from him at all, which caused the (h/c)nette to raise an eyebrow towards the living room, where shinra was currently in.
oh, he did not just ignore me. she mentally said to herself and clenched her hands into fists before making her way to the said location to see what was up with the black-haired male, and upon seeing shinra comfortably lying on the couch with the television playing a film in maximum volume, she heaved out a deep sigh, giving shinra's exposed forehead a flick to somehow get his attention, which was a success.
"ow! what was that for!?" he asked, obviously pissed because of the female's action, jolting back up before turning his head to face (y/n), but his irritated demeanor immediately went away when he saw how terrifying her expression is as of the moment, making him gulp.
"you dare raise your voice on me?" (y/n) asked back as a response as her arms slowly cross and her eyebrows knitting together as her enchanting (e/c) hues turned awfully dark, her sharp glare piercing right through shinra's very soul. one thing for sure, he didn't like seeing her in a mood like this. oh god. special fire force company 8 flashbacks. he thought.
however, his thoughts were interrupted when he heard the female sigh once more, removing her scary expression out of her features, but of course, (y/n)'s glare was still visible. "look, shinra. you're living here now, and without any rental fees. at least help me with doing the chores, you idiot." the (h/c)nette muttered under her breath and shinra swore that as soon as he gulped his saliva back down his throat, he felt a million shivers run down his spine.
"i know. it's just that... the t.v. was loud so i didn't hear you that much." he replied, pressing his forefingers together as he turned his head away, his crimson hues not wanting to meet her (e/c) ones.
she was hella scary as of the moment, so who would even want to stare right back at those threatening eyes? well, not shinra, to say the least.
"as i was saying, since we're out of groceries, do you mind fetching the things written on this list? my adoptive father sent me some cash for living expenses, so i guess we can go on and buy our necessities and make them last for a whole month." (y/n) informed whilst checking her wallet that was filled with money, which in fact surprised the male. if her foster parents are this rich, then why the hell is she even in here? man, i can never understand this woman.
once (y/n) handed shinra the list of groceries that he has to buy, he groaned after reading its contents. "i hate you." the black-haired male said with a glare.
meanwhile, the female only gave out a wide grin of victory before replying. "i mean, i did say that those items can last with us for a month, right? you should've expected that the quantity would be larger than usual." (y/n) smiled.
shinra groaned once more, but did he have any other choice but to comply? of course not. he is a part of the household, after all.
going to the grocery store shouldn't bother shinra at all, but something felt off for the male the moment (y/n) turned her figure and walk away from shinra to go and fetch a grocery bag. "u-uh, (y/n)? do you think it's a good idea for me to go alone?" he asked, voice slightly quivering, which caused the (h/c)nette to stop dead on her tracks and look back at his direction.
"why? are you scared? geez. i didn't know you needed me this much, shin-kun." (y/n) teased as she cupped her own cheeks, trying so hard to hind the visible blush the crept up her face.
nevertheless, shinra remained serious as his brows started to furrow. "this is not the time to joke around, (y/n). are you sure that you don't wanna come with?" he asked once more as his crimson orbs exchanged stares with (y/n)'s eyes and suddenly, her teasing demeanor disappeared.
she didn't respond, though. instead, she started closing their gap between each other, taking a few steps before she finally had shinra just a few centimeters away in front of her. with that, she tiptoed slightly and planted a kiss on shinra's forehead, a smile on her face when she was now looking right back at shinra's eyes. "i told you, i'll be fine by myself. it's not like i can't protect myself, you know? i've been alone for three long years, shinra. you don't need to worry." she assured whilst giving shinra's shoulder a pat, and heck did her actions make shinra's heart run laps, yet he disregarded the feeling and gave her a smile as well to finally end the discussion.
"alright. i'll be quick. wait for me, alright? bye!" he replied before dashing off to the grocery store, which caused (y/n)'s smile to grow wider. however, it was instantly wiped out when a thought came inside her head.
