(Shizuo x Reader) Crossed Paths

Chapter 7: Answers

"Eh?" You yelp. "B-but you don't have brown hair unless..." You stood up in front of him checking his roots. You suffocated the man with your bust against his face. So soft, bouncy and tempting he could nestle into them. Instead he turns away to keep appearance grabbing your waist. "Stop moving." You protest.

"What are you doing?" You dismiss his question finding the brown hidden in his hair. You pull away satisfied and lift his head.

"You really are a brunette; but why dye your beautiful hair?" You ask.

"I suggested he bleach it to stand out more so people will be alerted by him. It was an idea to get pricks who wanted to challenge Shizuo to spot him the minute they see his signature hair color. Make those punks fear him." Tom said. You wound your fingers into his blonde locks.

"I remember." You said gaining a small flashback only this one did not hurt. "I bleached your hair didn't I?" You feel the texture of his hair between your thumb and index.

"Yeah, you did." He grunts. You beam recalling the fond memory.

"You complained about how I dyed it. You chased me around the house with a bag over your head." You giggle. The blonde grumbles as you recall. "Then you whined some more when you washed your hair saying it burned and then..." You sigh wandering your hands to his chest. You eye Tom as he waits in suspense. You blush and fake a frown. "I don't remember after that." You lied. Oh, you remembered very well what happened that day. It was your first night with him, bondage wise. You lost your virginity to him and he lost his old self after dyeing his hair to be someone new.

"Whoa, so you were friends before freshman year?" Tom asks.

"No, we we're a couple. I just don't remember when we started."

"What?" Tom freaked. "You mean to tell me all this time you two have been dating?"

"Not necessarily, we broke up because of long distance. We knew that even if we tried to call each other at far distances, it wouldn't be the same and it would take three years maybe more just to see each other. Shizuo insisted the latter which is to call, but I guess my heart wouldn't take it and so I decided to let him go. Cutting all ties." You theorized. "You felt there was something more but Shizuo's agreement said other wise.

"Damn, so you came back falling back in love with him huh? That sounds kind of beautiful. Like a match made in heaven." Shizuo pulls you close wrapping his arms around your waist. He hums content.

"Right? That's what Shinra said." An idea pops up in your head. "Hey babe?" You start. He hums in reply. "Did Shinra attend school with us all the way?"

"Yeah why?" You pull away to take his hand.

"Tom I'm going to borrow your body guard to get to Shinra's. Your shifts are over right?"

"I guess so. It is late."

"Great." You said.

"Wait! Are you coming home tonight?" You stay quiet unsure how to ask to stay over to your protective cousin. "Look, I'm not your dad (Y/n). You're an adult free to do as you please. If you're going to stay with Shizuo that's fine just let me know so I won't have to worry. I personally think it's a good idea. You'll be safer with him." You sigh. "But if you ever need anything let me know. I'm only a call away." You nod and walk up to him giving him a hug.

"Thank you. I'm sorry I make you worry so much. Now my head is on the line because of Izaya."

"You get used to it. They're just threats." You chuckle.
