(Shizuo x Reader) Crossed Paths

Chapter 7: Answers

"Bye, I'll message you later to bring my bag of clothes." You wave to him dragging your boyfriend to Shinra's apartment.

You knock on the door after a long walk waiting patiently for one to answer.

"Care to tell me what you have in mind?" Shizuo asks.

"Shinra's been with us for a long time, he may have a better memory carrying all the answers to my question." The door clicks open revealing Shinra complaining behind him about being thrown a book at his head. He is leaving surprised seeing the two of you.

"Hey guys! What's up?" He chirps.

"Hey!" You greet back. "You said if I needed help remembering you would help." You quote.

"Yeah, I did. Come on in." He steps aside inviting you in. You walk down the hall until you're met in the living room. Celty sat on the couch reading something on her phone. She looks over her shoulder and welcomes you.

"(Y/n), what a surprise! Please come in. Would you like anything to drink?" She wrote.

"No, I'm good thanks." You take seat.

"How are your wounds?" She asks.

"My wounds?" You look at yourself and frown. You had forgotten about them. You cover your stomach ashamed.

"Don't worry about that big bruise. It will go away eventually. Maybe some lotion or make up will help heal faster or cover it up if you feel insecure."

"Who is she trying to impress?" Shizuo asks. "You're fine just the way you are." He slouches against the couch. You smile softly at your sweetheart.

"True. So what is it that you need help remembering?" You hand the black haired gent your journal. He opens the book reading each question.

"All the memories I've gained are written in the form of a question to search for the answers. If I can get a few of them answered.

"You have a nice system here, but sure I'll help. Sounds like a great idea to me. The main question is what do you really want to know? All of these questions revolve around a boy with brown hair, that being Shizuo."

"Shizuo is apart of my memory. I know he doesn't want to remember that past and his memory is just as terrible as mine." You tease. "So yeah I want to know everything." Shinra hesitated as if thinking about your proposal thouroughly. Your eyes beady and desperately pleading for him to comply.

"My memory is foggy. It was a long time ago, but I can try by answering the ones in your journal to the best of my extent."

"Thank you! That would be enough." You chirp. Shinra adjusts his glasses taking a look at the first question. He hands it back to you ready to answer. You held your pen out for notes.

"The boy with a bouquet of flowers was Shizuo. He wanted to gift you something for the first anniversary. He wasn't great with presents so he came to me for help. I suggested a few things then ran off to a flower shop. That's all I remember from that." You scribble everything down and turn to Shizuo with a wide smile. You could see his blush growing a deeper color.

"What?" He asks with a bitterness tone.

"Nothing it's just....Awe~!" You coo. "You did that for me? That is adorable." He turns away grumbling. You giggle at his reaction. Shinra chuckles earning a scowl from the brute. Quickly he shuts his mouth before he's beaten to a pulp.
