''Well, you're in a lot of trouble,'' Azami said as he frustratingly looked at Kurapika who was sleeping on the couch, ''he's laying on my spot! I can't play games this way!'' he whined.
''Is that really the biggest problem here?'' you sigh annoyed as you looked at your best friend who tried his best to move Kurapika without waking him up.
''Yeah, isn't it?''
''Ugh! You're no help AGAIN'' you frown and let yourself fall onto the chair at the dining table.
''We kissed, Azami... I kissed my sister's fiancé''
''He kissed you first didn't-''
You jumped up slightly as you saw your door handle moving rapidly as if someone was desperate to get in. You frowned at Azami who didn't care about anything but finding a good spot on the couch to feed his gaming addiction.
You shook your head and laughed as you opened the door and met your sisters piercing eyes. You two had a staring contest for at least five seconds before she pushed you away and walked into your apartment, uninvited as usual.
She looked around with her arms crossed in front of her chest as she looked annoyed. She observed the room careful before her orbs landed on the person she had been missing since last night. Kurapika.
''What is he doing here?'' she glanced at you as discomfort and insecurities were seen obviously on her face.
''The guy said he could beat me in a game so I invited him over to play games, he passed out though. Mind you, he did not win not even once!'' Azami haughtily said as he saved you with a lie he made up on the spot. Kurapika's head was on Azami's lap while he was aggressively playing his favourite game as he cursed under his breath a few times.
''Hmm,'' Rin hummed, barely believing the lie the black-haired man told her, ''tell him to come home right after he wakes up.''
Your eyes met her icy cold ones as she walked past you and left your apartment. She closed the door and you stood there whilst staring at Azami who didn't look bothered by the situation. You fiddled with your fingers as you stared at the blonde-haired boy who was still asleep.
You took in a deep breath and went to take a shower. You knew once Kurapika woke up, you had to talk to him about what happened last night. An icky feeling was lingering in your body as you let the warm water hit your skin.

''Let me take you out for breakfast,'' Kurapika said when he saw you walk back into the living room, eyes focused on your phone. You looked up from your device and locked eyes with Kurapika.
''Lunch,'' you corrected him.
''Lunch,'' he chuckled ''let's go. We have stuff to talk about,''
You nodded slowly and huffed, ''yes we do,'' you said under your breath.
Both of you took your coat and scarf and walked out of the apartment. Leaving Azami to his games, who didn't even say goodbye because he was too focused. You two awkwardly walked next to each other until Kurapika took your arm and dragged you into a restaurant.
You sat down and looked around you. It was a cute looking place with not too many people around you. You looked at the man who sat in front of you. He was scanning the menu carefully and ordered two coffees and a sandwich for both of you.
''So, how's your job at the café going?'' he suddenly asked and you frown your eyes. Not recalling ever getting a job at a café. You tilted your head slightly as your hair lightly fell into your face.
''What do you mean? I've never had a job at a café,'' you tell him and he nods whilst chuckling awkwardly.
''Rin told me so,'' he whispers loud enough for you to hear him. You scoff and look to the side.
''Let me guess,'' you speak and Kurapika looks into your eyes ''she told you she writes, moved to Tokyo for writing and studies literature.''
Kurapika's eyes widen as he starts to understand what's going on, ''pretty much so. So, she lied to me?''
You raise your brows and nod, ''I didn't know she was so insecure about herself,'' you laugh and rest your head on your hand. Kurapika looks at you with a face sadder than before. ''Hey what's wrong?'' you ask him but he shakes his head quickly, trying to reassure you that nothing's wrong.
''Pika... we need to talk about last night...''
''I don't regret it,'' he states and looks at you with a serious face. His gaze meets yours and you almost get lost in his beautiful orbs as he doesn't blink and doesn't break the eye contact. But the feeling of guilt fills you again and you exhale.
''You know, I have feelings for you. I've always had them. They never faded away, even when I started to date Rin.''
''Then why did you propose to her, Kurapika? It doesn't make any sense. You keep saying these things but it doesn't add up. Why didn't you try harder for me? Why didn't you try harder to get in touch with me... and the fact that you started dating my sister. She knew where I was. All you had to do is ask her where I am. Things could've been so much different.''
Kurapika nods and looks away, ''I don't know. I was afraid, I guess. Something in that direction. I was scared... we were still young and my feelings were already so strong I didn't know what to do with them. When the letters stopped coming in, I thought you didn't want to keep in touch with me anymore. When Rin and I started dating she said such weird things about you, which are probably lies considering she lied about other stuff too apparently. It made me change the way I saw you that time, but even then I didn't lose feelings for you.''
You frown and narrow your eyes at him. You were confused and wanted to believe his story so bad, but it was difficult. You fight for people you love. You don't just let them go. But you could say that to yourself also. You should've fought for Kurapika the second you stopped receiving letters.
''I think it says a lot if we never tried to fight for each other.''

Kurapika unlocked the door to his home. He took off his coat and jacket before walking into the living room as he saw Rin sitting at the dining table all alone. The food in front of her was still steaming and her head was resting on hand with a long face.
''Kurapika?'' she said and a smile appeared on her face. Kurapika looked at her and nodded before he gathered all of his courage together and spoke.
