Candy Coated. (RindouXF.ReaderXIzana)

18

Rindou noticed a few things..

It has been a few weeks since you both had sex. And you didn't pull away from him-- not that you could. Izana had someone watching you all the time now and Rin just happened to be one of the lucky few to have a lot of time on their hands.

He watched you from a private table at the corner of your bakery.

But he was beginning to worry..

Your movements had turned a bit sluggish-- your eyes tired... Even your hair seemed dull and flat. You just didn't seem like your usual self.

You walked over to fill up his cup of coffee. You didn't even look at him-- you just wore a forced little smile.

"Y/n? Are you okay? You don't--" how does he say it without sounding like an ass? "You look exhausted. You should take a break.."

You shook your head. "I'm fine.."

But you really weren't.

You've been keeping all your emotions to yourself these past few weeks and it was getting to you. A scary feeling that you had no one began to form.

Yes, Shion was with you most days at the bakery but that didn't help much. Could you really confide in him if he worked for Izana? You thought you could trust your own mother but look where that got you?

Watched like a dog... Treated like property. You needed to get out, you needed to leave.

But where would you go?--

You sighed as you walked into your office to find your cellphone. You felt trapped-- you even tried to run to Yuzuha and Senju but Taiju turned you away-- even Takeomi turned you away.

Trapped. Trapped. Trapped..

You dialed a number and waited for it to ring... It rang and rang.. until.

"Hello. This is Mitsuya Takashi. Leave your name and number."

It was a quick and simple greeting... But the voice brought so much comfort...

You waited for the beep. "Hey Takashi. Just checking in... I hope you're taking care of yourself over there. Sleeping and eating when you need to.. Call me whenever you get a break? Love you."

You knew your brother was busy.. you shouldn't be running to him. But you knew Takashi wasn't head over heels for Izana the way your mother and sisters were. He'd listen-- he'd help.. But Fashion week in Milan was going on and Takashi has been there from the beginning of said week. His designs were a hit! And you couldn't be prouder. But the week was ending and he'd be returning soon. Maybe even sooner once you mention what happened..

A wave of nausea hit you--

Shion jumped when you ran past him to get to the employee restroom.

He furrowed his brows when he heard you throwing up-- for the third time today. Were you sick? Couldn't be.. You wouldn't be here if you were. Being sick around food? You knew better. Why did it seem like you wanted to tell him nothing? He was getting worried about you..

You came out of the restroom with watery eyes.

Shion grabbed you a tissue. "Are you okay Y/n? I-- You know I'm here for you right?"

You nodded but were you really okay?-- No. Not even close to being okay.

At first it started as feeling sick in the morning... You figured it was because your stomach was empty? The bakery has been busy (You just didn't want to be home) no you weren't skipping meals but most of them became unhealthy junk foods.
