My heart's beating so fast, his touch is so exhilarating

"Y/n." the blonde whispered, his hand still hesitantly resting on your lower back, bunching the fabric.

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Can I get closer to you?"

Y E S yes yes, a million times yes

You look down at your feet and notice you're farther away than you thought. The position you both were in made this feel like an awkward middle school dance.

"Of course you can," you reply, inching toward him.

You sway to the music with the blonde still lightly holding your back; your arms sloppily draped around his shoulders. Your head was pointed to the floor. There was still more distance between the two of you than you wanted.

Out of nowhere, he stops moving.

You angle your head, so your eyes meet his neck. He moves the hand that was on your back up to your chin, placing his pointer finger under it. He tilts your head to lock your eyes with his.

He smiles at you sweetly

"You're so cute y/n," he whispers, this time, putting his hand at one side of your waist, right above the hip

"You're so cute y/n," he whispers, this time, putting his hand at one side of your waist, right above the hip.

Oh my God, what do I say?

You break your stare into his eyes and look down at his mouth. You want to kiss him so badly and feel his soft lips against yours.

You respond to his compliment by digging your head into his shoulder in a loving way, wrapping your arms tightly around his neck. Hopefully, he takes this gesture as a 'thank you.'

You hear him quietly laugh with his mouth closed, his nose releasing a little air between each hum while doing so. He sounds relieved that you didn't think his compliment was weird.

Abruptly, he clashes your body against his, wrapping his arm around your entire lower back. You feel the warmth of his body seeping into the thin material of your dress, and his bulge is lightly pressed against your hip.

Is he making a move?

You try to ignore it and enjoy the moment your having without letting intrusive thoughts creep into your mind. You push your skepticism aside, and bask in his warmth.

You both resume swaying to the music. Matching your movements to the rhythm was a bit of a struggle at first, but your steps start to sync after a while.

"I really like you Kurapika. Like I said many times, when I first met you, I thought you were kind of an ass, but now I see that you're just a big sarcastic softie," you confess, burying your nose into the crook of his neck. A small smile crept its way onto your face. You weren't sure if he could understand anything that you were saying since your voice was muffled by the thick material of subtle shoulder pads in his suit.

"All I heard was 'You were kind of an ass' and 'sfjdnftie,' and I'm a little confused as to why you're smiling." the blonde responds with a slight giggle.

You lift your head from his neck and turn to look at him. "I saaaid, 'like I said many times, when I first met you, I thought you were kind of an ass, but now I see that you're just a big sarcastic softie,' Kay?" You ramble. "And how'd you know I was smiling?

"I could feel the movement on my shoulder a little. And on my neck, I felt that little gust of air that comes from your nose every time you smile with your mouth closed."

The sweet things he says like that are why I'm falling for this guy so fast. Well, that and his beautiful androgynous features. How could anyone not like him? He's literal perfection. A little bit of a downer sometimes, yeah, but who isn't?

"You're a great guy you know." You whisper

"Why are you giving me all these compliments all of a sudden?" he whispers back, mocking you

Your heart starts beating rapidly. You know what you're about to do. You want to tell him, and it could change everything between the two of you. If he doesn't reciprocate your feelings... everything goes to shit. You're both also mildly drunk, so who knows how this could go down. You take a deep breath and release the courage you've been storing.

"Because...I dunno... Blah, sorry, I don't mean that; I do think I know...I think I have feelings for you."

That was not real.  I did not just say that. God, I sounded like an idiot

He stops dancing again and goes silent. You can only imagine what he'll say next.

(Kurapika POV)

:)

...She feels the same way

(Y/n POV)

He's thinking bad things; I just know it. Ahhhh, God, I'd give everything to know what's going through his head right now.

"That's good, because I feel the same way y/n" Kurapika says confidently. He then pulls you closer and starts to move to the elegant tune once again, holding you. Your cheeks turn beet red, and you're not sure if it's from relief or nerves.

Holy shit. We just confessed...
