HxH One Shots

Kurapika

Kinda angsty, so if you don't like angst, I'd suggest you skip this chapter. Other then that there are no warnings, hope you enjoy!

It was Kurapika's last day in YorkCity and instead of spending it with him, i sat ontop of the roof top, sulking as I watched the sky fade slowly from a bright yellow hue, to pink red tones, and finally, the cool and crisp purple and black. The only thing lighting the area was the stars and the moon above me.

I stayed there for a long time.. I couldn't tell if it was a few minutes or a few hours, but I sat there and watched the serene like sky while a battle of many emotions formed inside my mind, body, and soul. If subconscious was anything but what the world depicted around me at the moment, and if anything I think that's why i stayed for so long. I was just so captivated.

The thoughts that kept me up this late where about Kurapika. I met him only a short while ago, and yet I fell in love with him.. maybe 'love' was too strong of a word, if anything I should call this a petty crush that ended up breaking me in the end. I knew nothing would come from having these feelings, I knew that a stronger relationship wouldn't form or grow, and yet I still aloud myself to imagine and get infatuated with the idea of the blonde male.

At some point during my contemplation I heard the door behind me creep quietly, indicating that someone else was here. I didn't have to turn around to identify who the person was, because by the shuffling of tiny footsteps it was obvious to me. "Hey Melody, What are you doing up so late?" I questioned quietly. Although my voice was as soft as a whisper, I knew she could hear me without even trying.

"I could ask you the same thing," she started, her voice as light and soft as ever. "Just admiring the sky." I told her, not once looking away from the stars. "Your heartbeat doesn't lie, something is bothering you. If I where to take a guess, I'd say it's heartbreak." Melody started walking forward, and by the end of her speech she was standing right beside me.

It was obvious she was waiting for any sort of verbal confirmation, and when she didn't get one that within itself was proof enough to her that she was indeed right. Melody didn't press, nor did she ask questions. We stood in silence for what felt like a short few seconds, but in reality was a lot longer than that.

It wasn't an awkward silence, it was more or so a sign of respect. Melody was patiently waiting for me to open up to her when I felt the need to, she wasn't going to try and comfort me with words or empty promises, she respected me enough to where she would sit here with me for however long it took until I wanted to open up, and eventually i found myself speaking without a second thought.

"I like him.. Kurapika I mean." Another brief moment of silence continued before I spoke again. "I knew eventually he was going to leave, which is why I wanted to push away my feelings. But in the end I let them consume me.. and now it's your guys last day."

"I understand texting and calling isn't the same as a face to face interaction, but you can't let something go that you never had.. i hear the way your heart beats when you hear his name or when you see him. And his heart just doesn't beat the same..." Melody trailed off sadly, and although I just had the bitter truth thrown at me, I couldn't help but smile.

"You're a great friend Melody.. thank you for not filling me with false hope." Even through the pain I managed to face the female and give her a real, truthful smile. Melody gave me a pitiful smile, and told me she'd give me some time to myself before leaving.

I waited until I heard the large metal door shut, and then I let a shaky sob escape my body, my vision started to blur from the tears. The once beautifully clear night sky, turned into a pitch black void with dots of light shining through.

I thought the sunset would be the perfect representation of my emotions. I had a bright and shining hope, and then slowly it disappeared into a dark despair. The only difference in the sky and my emotions is that the night sky had the stars and moon. Even through the darkness they still had hope, it might be just tiny lights of hope but it's there nonetheless.

I didn't have that.. I had no hope.
