(Shizuo x Reader) Crossed Paths

Chapter 5: Safe

You hear a voice from afar. The words unclear almost muffled. The only thing you hear accompanying the voices is the endless ringing in your ears getting louder and louder as you come to, but not before getting an abundant amount of memories flooding through your head being displayed before you. Whenever one plays it's only briefly with an annoying static noise. Your head throbbed. You couldn't process any more memories. You hiss over the pain instantly waking you up. You gasp prying your eyes wide open. The light above you blinding your sight. You turn away and examine the room you are in. You sat on a bench with medical supplies, yet it mostly seemed like an at home office. You slowly sit yourself wincing in pain. You let out a few grunts when you rise. You could feel the pain striking you from your stomach. You look at your hands discovering them bandaged up. You touch your face instantly retracting at the slight pain. You tried to remember what happened before you blacked out. Were you kidnapped? That was your main concern for some reason. If so it would make sense that you did not know this place. You had to get out. You begin to panic starting to shift to hop off the examining bench when to your relief you see your boyfriend followed by a man in a lab coat wearing glasses and Celty.

Shizuo rushes to your side rubbing your back in a comforting manner. "Hey, relax you're safe now. You're at a friend's house." On cue, mentioned man steps into view with a small smile. "This is Shinra, he's an old friend and a doctor. He helped patch you up." You relaxed knowing who everyone is. You nod your head too stricken to speak.

"Nice to meet you (Y/n). Shizuo told me all about you." You raise a brow and turn to the blonde. "Well, almost. J-just about who you are and your condition. Had to bring up your medical file in case you weren't allergic to anything or if you needed blood. I need to do a few rounds before I can discharge you." Shinra takes a flashlight from his breast pocket of his lab coat flashing the light into your eye checking for a response. He hums every now and then while updating your status. "I was surprised to see you back in town after your break up with Shizuo." You furrow your brows and pull away. He scribbles a few things into a note pad.

"Break up?" You switch from Shizuo to Shinra searching for an answer to what you just heard. The blonde seemed clenched his jaw as if to hint to the doc to shut up. He completely ignored all the signs and nods.

"Yes that's right. You guys broke up in high school before you moved. It was sad to see a perfect relationship end after years of being together." He scoffs.

"Whoa, that sounds pretty crazy. I barely met Shizuo last month. H-how is that even possible and how do you even know I went to the same school as you did here?" Shinra tilts his head just as puzzled as you. He shifts to Shizuo seeming to be annoyed yet hurt at the same time. He didn't know whether to yell at the doc or not. One thing was for sure that deep down he truly wanted to know why you have no recollection of them so he stays quiet. "Does she...really not remember?" An heavy sigh escapes your lips.

"No, she doesn't. Ever since we met she has no idea who we are. Nothing." His tone saddened you. You didn't want to make him upset, but all of this was mind blowing. You were missing something and you had an idea why. You step away from everyone freaked out.

"What the hell is going on? What do you mean I don't remember any of you?" Celty wrote something on her phone,

"Calm down (Y/n). We'll explain everything but you should take a seat please." Your chest heaves, you could only feel anxiety rising but you listened anyways. You needed answers fast. "Let's take a seat in the living room. I'll make us some tea." The biker shuffles out of the office slowly guiding you to the living room with everyone else behind.

A hot cup of tea is placed on the coffee table for each one of you. You thank the woman for her hospitality. You stare at the colored drink. So warm and tempting. You take a sip after a few blows soothing your body.
