(Shizuo x Reader) Crossed Paths

Chapter 6: Awkward

Morning ray's illuminate the bedroom enough to wake up a person knowing the time of day. Shizuo groans staring awake. His hand searches for a missing body which cuddled him just last night now seemed to be misplaced. After patting down every part on his bed, instant fear arises. He sits up searching for you in the room.

"(Y/n)?" He calls out. He hears noises on the other side of the door. "(Y/n)?" He shouts once more making sure.

"Yeah?" You call back. He sighs in relief falling back on his mattress running a hand through his hair.

"Shit she had me worried." He mumbles. He wakes himself up heading to the bathroom first after checking the time. You hear him enter the room while you were cooking him breakfast still in your pajamas. It was an odd sight to see someone cooking for him or any body in general. You look over your shoulder greeting him with a smile.

"Morning sunshine ~!" You chirp. "I hope you're hungry. I made some traditional, American scrambled eggs and bacon." You serve him a plate and coffee and giving him a morning kiss. The odd sense of your sudden shift in mood and feeding him this early is off putting, yet he could grow accustomed to it.

You sit next to him at the table writing a few things down minding your own business. You gasp, jolting at the touch of his hand on your head.

"Are you feeling alright? You're acting weird. Too jolly in the morning."

"Um, yeah. Just a bit tired. I felt a little paranoid, but then I remembered I'm with you. I slept like a baby after that. Woke up refreshed and scared but I told myself not to be afraid of that creep and focus on what I want."

"Is that what that list is for?" He asks.

"It's more of Q & A thing. I've had a few memories come back to me and I'm writing them down ask questions until I have answers." You said. The blonde leans in to read some of your questions when his phone rings.

"Hello?" He picks up.

"Thank God you picked up. Have you seen (Y/n)? She didn't come home last night and I'm freaking out. I'm worried she got into some trouble." Shizuo turns to you unsure how to answer. You notice his disturbed expression realizing whom he is talking to. It was like a telepathy thing. Your bond with Shizuo is ridiculously close that you knew each other's thoughts. You nod giving him the ok to inform him.

"She's fine Tom. She's here with me."

"What?" He yelps baffled. "You mean she slept over?"

"Yeah why?" There was nothing but silence after that. His phone cut off or at least he believed. "Hello?" There was a knock on his door.

"Package delivery?" You ask. He shrugs shaking his head no. You head over to open the door finding Tom slamming his phone shut. His jaw drops seeing you open the door wearing Shizuo's shirt. You could tell he is misunderstanding the situation. "Tom?" You ask. He shifts over to Shizuo and scowls storming in.

"You! You're dead."

"Shit." You curse. You close the door and step in front of your cousin.

"Tom wait! Listen to me, it's not what you think." You reasoned blocking him from harming your lover not that he could. The blonde was practically like titanium.

"What that he back stabbed me and slept with you?" You roll your eyes.

You squeeze his arms standing him still to hear you out.
