Horrible mistake

✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ Five ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯

''Ugh!'' you groaned irritated as you let yourself fall onto the couch. It had been a few hours after the stupid dinner incident. Azami wasn't home tonight, which you thought was nice as you did not feel like explaining everything that happened.

You were about to grab some ice cream from the freezer, but get stopped in your tracks when you hear someone knocking on your door about a million times. You look at the clock. It was midnight already.

''Who would be here at this time?'' you whisper to yourself as you walk to the door and opening it.

''Kurapika?''

''H-Hey!'' he says and you narrow your eyes. The scent of the devil's drink was strong and you sighed.

''Come in,'' you sigh and roll your eyes ''why have you been drinking?''

''Hah....'' He sighs and let himself fall on your couch, almost falling asleep, ''Rin and I... argument... I asked her you know... why she invited your parents... she said it would be good for you... I um... Yeah...''

You cross your arms in front of your chest as you try to understand what Kurapika was telling you. You looked at him. He was laying on your couch with one leg and one arm on the ground as his other arm was resting on his forehead while he had closed his eyes.

''You know,'' he hummed and sat up straight, holding his stomach ''if I had known she invited your... parents... I would've stopped her.''

''I know,'' you sigh and sit down in front of the couch as you bring your knees up to your chest, ''I know'' you whisper one more time.

''Y/N,'' you hear him say and you feel his hand ruffle your hair before you turn your head to face him. He sits up straight and pat next to him and take the seat.

''It might be the alcohol but I'm very sad,'' he said and showed you a weak smile.

''Why?''

''Because,'' he sighed and closed his eyes ''I should have tried harder for you,''

''Kurapika...''

''No'' he interrupted you and waved his hand in front of your face ''stop. It's true. I should've done things differently and you know it.''

''It's okay now, Pika. I promise. I want you to be happy, don't let me ruin it and get in your way. Some things are just not... not meant to be.'' Your heart breaks at your own words, but you knew you had to make him feel like things were over for you as well. You didn't want your sister to have a bigger grudge on you than she already had.

''Do you really think so?''

''Think what?'' you tilt your head and look straight into his beautiful eyes. Shit, why did he have to be this mesmerizing? He was too stunning.

''We weren't meant to be?''

''Well... I... I don't know, you're marrying my sister it doesn't feel right to answer that question truthfully.''

''I think that if two people are meant to be together, eventually they'll find their way back,'' he says and bites his bottom lip, trying to fight back the tears.

You chuckle softly, ''I believe so too,'' you look up to him and smile, ''but that's not always the case.''

He slowly nods and looks at your bookshelf that was filled with all of your favourite manga. His eyes fall on the little picture frame with you and your sister in it, both smiling and looking as happy as ever.

''I think you love her Kurapika... you wouldn't have proposed to her if you didn't.''

He didn't answer and met your gaze. You gave him a sweet smile as you tried to comfort him.

''If I hadn't asked her to let me see you that day... if you hadn't seen me, you wouldn't have felt this upset, Pika.''

''So?''

''So, please don't regret the choices you made. Everything happens for a reason.''

''How is it that the second I saw you I feel this way? Doesn't that mean something special? I regret everything! I'm so confused, I wish I could go back in time.''

You shook your head and looked down at your hands. You didn't know how to handle this and didn't exactly understand what he felt.

''You're drunk, silly. That's why you're feeling so emotional right now. You'll feel different tomorrow, you just need the alcohol out of your system.''

''I may be a little drunk, but I'm not stupid, Y/n. Everything I'm telling you is the truth, it's not the alcohol. I just want to be honest about my feelings.''

You looked at him as he pursed his lips together. His brows slightly frowned and his eyes stared confidently into yours. You felt your bottom lip shake as so many emotions flew through you. You knew what he was trying to say, but you had to push him away. You needed to. You were nothing more than a bridesmaid. You wanted to see your sister happy.

You would feel like a cruel person if you stole her fiancé away from her. Your eyes softened as you thought back to the time you two were together. He was the first person you had ever met who accepted you for the way you are. Never judged you, always stood up for you and protected you with everything he had.

But that time was over. He wasn't yours anymore and all you did right now was make him feel confused and sad. But you love him so much. Even after all those years of being apart, not a day went by without thinking about him. He was too special to you.

You take in a deep breath and feel his warm hand brush your cheek. His slender fingers trailed down to your lips. His thumb slid over your bottom lip before he gently took your chin in between his pointy finger and his thumb. Your mind went blank and you didn't know how to respond to the situation. He slowly leaned in and mumbled a few words you couldn't understand before you felt his warm lips touch yours.

Your eyes widen like crazy when you realise you're kissing him. Your heart starts beating in your throat, but you don't pull away. Your mind tells you to run, but your heart tells you to stay. And since your love for him is too strong, you couldn't pull away. Your lips move perfectly in sync as if you both are made for each other and a single tear rolls down your cheek and gets wiped away quickly by Kurapika's thumb.

''It's okay,'' he whispers in between the kiss and places both of his hands on your heated cheeks. You sobbed a little every time your lips got separated. You felt so guilty. So incredibly guilty. But you enjoyed it. You had missed his touch more than anything. You had craved it for so long and for one night you had it back.

For one night you had him back.

You tried to close the door to your bedroom as quiet as possible since Kurapika was fast asleep on the couch wrapped in the blankets you gave him. You took a deep breath and sat down on your bed as you called your best friend, Azami, who luckily picked up the phone quickly. The second you hear his voice, you break into tears again.

''I made a horrible mistake.''
