✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ Two ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯
Bridesmaid... the bridesmaid was all you were to both of them. You didn't even know why you agreed to her offer. It was very clear she wanted to mess with you one way or another, you could see it in her eyes.
You stepped back into your apartment and let yourself fall onto the soft, beige couch. You hid your face in a pillow and let the sad feeling take over your mind. Of course, you were sad, but it was still your sister and you loved her. You wanted to be happy for her.
But Kurapika. He was the first man in your life who truly loved you for who you were. Your father hated you. He always told you how much of a mistake you were. When you told him you were going to move out, he was happy, to say the least. He was thrilled. He even helped you pack your stuff and helped you find an affordable apartment.
He sends you money every month so you can stay away from him and your mother. You knew your sister had moved to Tokyo as well a few months after you moved, but you didn't meet up her much. Everything started to make sense. Her and Kurapika probably moved in together, which is why you weren't invited, like ever, and she would always come to you uninvited. Avoiding you wanting to visit her.
You sighed and walked over to your kitchen wanting to grab some comfort food, but you didn't have anything.
''Guess I'll have to go to the grocery store,'' you whisper to yourself and grabbed your coat and scarf as you walked out of your apartment.

You leaned on your cart as you walked through the cramped grocery store. Your cart was filled with all sorts of snacks, mochi, pocky, ice cream and a lot of instant ramen. You sighed as you walked over to the cash register until you heard a familiar voice.
You turned around and saw the blonde man talking to one of the people who work there. Once he was done, he turned around and met your gaze.
''Shit,'' I whisper and quickly turn my head, an obvious blush coating my cheeks.
''Hey! Y/N!'' he called and he stood next to you ''what a coincidence!''
''Yeah...'' you say, shooting him a fake smile, ''a-anyway, I need to pay, so I can't talk right now,''
''Ah...'' he nodded his head ''another time then! We should grab a coffee sometime, we have to catch up.
''Mhm,'' I mumble '' maybe someday,''
I handed all of my groceries over to the lady in front of me, ''that'll be 6.244,70 yen'' she says with a smile. I fiddle in my pockets, trying to find either some cash or my credit card, but I forgot both at home.
''E-Eh... I'm sorry I for-''
''I'll pay for her,'' he broke me off and handed the money to the woman, ''that's very sweet!'' she smiles ''what a lovely couple, you two look very good together.''
Stop.
''Ah... no'' Kurapika chuckled ''I'm engaged to someone else actually''
You didn't have to say that.
''Yeah, anyway, I have to go now'' I say hastily, grabbing all of my stuff and wanting to leave the store but I get stopped in my tracks when I feel someone grab my arm.
''Y/N, you don't have to avoid me... at least let me walk you home.''
You nod before sighing loudly walking out of the grocery store. The wet raindrops hit your face as you look up at the sky. You hadn't even noticed it started raining until you went outside. Only a few seconds passed and it started raining like crazy.
''Let's run,'' I mumble and Kurapika chuckles, ''alright''
°•. ✿ .•°
''Waah!'' Kurapika sighs and he walks into your apartment with his hands behind his head ''did you know it was going to rain?''
You nod your head no. You stare at him in awe. He was soaked. His coat was wet and his damp hair was sticking against his forehead. You walked over to your bathroom and grabbed a towel which you threw into his face.
''Hey!'' he chuckled as he caught the right on time, ''watch out!''
You giggled quietly but stopped when you saw him smile warmheartedly at you, seeing you smile because of him. He had missed you more than you would ever be able to believe and imagine. It was never his choice to be apart for so long. Even he would do everything all over again if he could.
But the mistakes were already made and nothing could be done to save you two. Right? Your sister was his fiancé and you were nothing more than a bridesmaid to them. You didn't mean much in their perfect 'picture'.
You sighed to yourself and let yourself fall onto your couch and he took the seat next to you. He looked at you, taking all of your features in as if he forgot what you looked like and didn't want to forget again. He stared at you, studying your face, trying to understand why you were avoiding him earlier.
Of course, he knew and he didn't think it was weird. He didn't judge you. He felt the same.
''If I could do it all over again, I would do it in a heartbeat,'' he whispered as he gave you the saddest smile you had ever seen.
''I'm sorry''
