The Beauty of Sol (Shinra x reader)

Chapter 7

It's been five days since their investigation started. They'd be there at the 1st for a month. That means a month of trying to avoid Rekka for [Y/n]. After the training, Shinra's been a bit protective of [Y/n] around the other rookies and Lieutenants. Especially Rekka.

Surprising, Arthur has been on Shinra's side in this. He was a bit protective, but not as much as Shinra. If someone other than Shinra got too close to [Y/n], Arthur would intervene by saying "Step away from the princess." Which kind of annoyed Shinra.

[Y/n] was woken up by the ring of her alarm. After turning it off, [Y/n] got dressed in her orange training jumpsuit, quickly fluffed out her short [h/c] hair, and put on her white eye patch.

[Y/n] looked down at her bandaged left hand. She couldn't figure out how she was able to shot fire out of her left hand. As a result, her left hand got badly burned. [Y/n] unlocked her door and was greeted by a pair of red-colored eyes.

[Y/n] smiled. "Good morning, Shinra-kun." [Y/n] greeted. "Good morning." Shinra said with his usual grin while blushing a bit. Shinra always made [Y/n] so soft on the inside. 'Why is he so cute?!' [Y/n] thought as they walked to the dining hall together.

"Are you okay?" Shinra asked. He's asked this same question yesterday, and the day before. Shinra was genuinely concerned for her. "I'm fine." [Y/n] said with a small smile and looked up at Shinra, "Did Lieutenant Hinawa come to visit again today?"

Shinra sighed. "Yeah. Him and Princess Hibana." Shinra groaned, and [Y/n] giggled, which was music to Shinra's ears.

They got their breakfast and sat with the other rookies. Shinra stared in disgusted while watching Arthur pour soy sauce on his fried egg. [Y/n] was a bit weirded out while sitting between Shinra and Arthur, but people had their weird food preference.

"U-Um, why did all of you become Fire Soldiers?" Takeru asked, trying to make conversation.

"Why, to be a hero, protecting everyone from human combustion and Infernal!" Shinra announced with a big smile.

"It's only natural that a knight would fight on the behalf of the weak." Arthur said and ate his egg. Shinra continued to give him a disgusted.

"Well, I'm a third generation, and as a Fire Solider, I'd be in with the ladies." Toru said and winked at [Y/n]. Shinra glared at Toru.

"I wanted to help people with their fear of flames and protect them from human combustion." [Y/n] said while munching on bacon.

"You're all so great. I can't really use my pyrokinesis very well. Nor do I have a grand objective like the rest of you." Takeru said.

"Forget the objective. As long as we end up helping others, that's enough, isn't it?" Shinra said, and [Y/n] nodded.

"Right. I don't have control over my abilities, either." [Y/n] said with a smile, "You shouldn't worry so much."

Takeru blushed. "Yeah. Thanks, [Y/n]-san, Shinra-kun." He said.

"How long are you going to sit around eating?! Time for the morning assembly." They heard Tamaki. [Y/n] frowned. She was beginning not to like her. "Everyone, head back to your appointed stations and--" Arthur reached to grab the tube of mayonnaise, but his hand ended up lifting Tamaki's skirt a little.

"What the hell are you doing, sicko?!" Tamaki yelled.

"Sorry. I was reaching for the mayonnaise, and you..." Arthur muttered and ducked with Tamaki tried the hit him. She missed and spun passed [Y/n] into Shinra. "Whoa, hey!" Tamaki butt landed on the back of Shinra's head.
