Candy Coated. (RindouXF.ReaderXIzana)

15

A heavy hand tried its best to lay softly on your shoulder. Shion gave you a concerned look. "Are you okay Y/n? Your color is gone.."

You tried to push through it... But you woke up with a dull ache in your lower stomach. It felt very familiar to when it was close to your time of the month. It started dull but slowly turned into this burning pain that had you crying yourself to sleep. But because of your birth control you haven't felt this pain in years!

Izana tried to convince you it must have been food poisoning. He claimed he woke up a bit nauseous.. It was completely different but he still drew you a warm bath, he made you breakfast. (Crushed a pain pill or two in your food.) And suddenly the pain was gone.

But it eventually came back after lifting up a heavy tray..

You shook your head. "I'm fine.-- women problems you don't want to hear about.."

But Shion knew.. and he was against it with Kakucho. But Izana shut them both up. He rushed to you when you stepped forward and grabbed at the counter. Your face twisted in pain and you held your stomach.

He huffed and wrapped one arm around you and slowly sat you down on a chair. Shion thought of a lie. " I know what you're talking about, no need to be embarrassed. I have sisters." (He was an only child..)

You watched him walk to the stove and pull out a pink teapot with purple bellflowers. How did Shion know you wanted a set like that for the bakery? You wished you were more excited when he showed them to you this morning.(Rindou had handed it to him this morning when Shion picked you up to open the bakery.)

He didn't give you a chance to ask. "My sister drank tea for the pain. Something about the warmth helping?"

You hummed and leaned back on the chain. Closing your eyes as if it would get rid of the pain..

Good.

Shion turned as the water began to boil and the little teapot began to whistle. Izana had crushed up a bit of pain medication and portioned them in small bags for Shion to sneak into your food or drinks. He was specific on how he'd cut Shion's head off if he gave you too much or too little. He carefully opened the bag and spilled it into one of the tea cups before pouring the hot water over it and letting the tea bag steep.

"Do you like sugar or honey as a sweetener?"

You opened your eyes. "Honey, please."

He nodded and turned. Just as he was walking to bring you your tea. The chimes on the door began to sing.

Shion nearly rolled his eyes when you tried to stand. He thought about tying you down since the pain meds wouldn't kick in right away.

Instead he clicked his tongue and used one hand to hold you down. "Sit Y/n. Just for at least 10 minutes. I got this."

You seemed to relax a bit when he handed you your tea. Your hands were a bit stiff from the sweet bread you made this morning and the warmth from the cup was doing wonders for the ache.

"Are you sure? Remember to use your customer smile."

Shion rolled his eyes but gave you a sweet smile. Just like you thought him. "Shut up... But I'm sure."

He could hear you giggle as he walked away. Hopefully you'd finish all your tea--- "Hello and welcome to--" His sweet smile dropped while he locked eyes with purple annoying ones. "The fuck are you doing here Ran?-- Is something wrong with Iza-"

The older Haitani cut him off. "Why the fuck are you here?" His eyes traveled to Shion's pretty little name tag, he snorted. "Do you work here?!"

If Shion had his gun-- He waited for Ran to stop laughing. Once he wiped a tear from his eye, Shion put his hand into a fist..
