Kurapika x Reader One-Shot Collection

Fragile* Part Two Kurapika's POV

"A...Arisu?" I stood there in complete shock. What was she doing here? More importantly, why did I let go of (Y/N)'s hand?

"Kurapika! It's been such a long time since we've seen each other!"

Arisu embraced me...as if (Y/N) was not there. My arms involuntarily wrapped themselves around her small frame. Her scent brought me back to when we were a couple. All of the painful memories I had of her suddenly disappeared.

"Want to get out of here to talk? We have a lot of catching up to do." Arisu asked while pulling away from me.
"Uh...sure. Where would you like to go?"
"It doesn't matter."

Arisu grabbed my hand. She started running...leaving me no choice but to follow her. I briefly looked back at (Y/N). I noticed her melancholy expression...her misty eyes...the corners of her tiny mouth drawn downwards. It saddened me. Nevertheless, I was still running after Arisu. Why?

Arisu stopped running after a few blocks. She looked back at me, breathing heavily.

"Whew. Finally...alone."
"Arisu? What do you want to talk about?"
"No...not here." She answered while waving down a taxi.

We hopped in the taxi. She gave the driver my address. She remembered.

She fell back onto the seat while offering me a soft smile. Yes...I recall her smile. It used to brighten my day. I smiled back.

It was nightfall by the time we arrived at my apartment. We removed our shoes and jackets before entering the living room.

"Does Leorio still live here?"
"Yes. However, he is still at work."
"Good."

She ran into my bedroom as if it was her own.

"Umm...may I offer you something to drink?"
"No...just come here before Leorio comes home."

Arisu and Leorio never got along. In fact, he was rather happy when he learned she was no longer a part of my life. Of course, he wouldn't admit it at the time. Especially while I was getting over my heartbreak. He took great care of me, as always.

I walked into my bedroom. Arisu was sitting on my bed with a big smile on her face. I closed the door behind me before walking over to sit beside her.

"I missed you, Kurapika."
"Arisu, what did you want to talk about?"
"Oh, c'mon. Talking isn't fun." She answered while pulling my tie.
"What are you doing?"
"What does it look like I'm doing?" She asked with a mischievous smile on her face.

She managed to pull off my tie. I gently grabbed her hand before she had the chance to unbutton my shirt.

"Arisu, I am serious."

She pouted as she sat on her knees.

"I just wanted to tell you how much I've missed you...and...I'm sorry."
"Oh...you're sorry? Almost two years have passed and now...you're sorry?"
"Yes, Kurapika! We all make mistakes!"

I understand that more than anyone, as I have made my fair share of mistakes. Even so, I cannot allow her to manipulate me the way she used to.

"Arisu, if that's all you have to say, then I think it's best you leave now."
"What? Why? We haven't had any fun yet!"

She grabbed my right hand.

"Can your chains come out to play?" She asked while shaking my hand.
"No." I pulled my hand away. She pouted again.
"Fine...this is more than enough anyway." She said while unbuckling my belt.
"No, Arisu. Please...stop." I gently pushed her away.
"Why? I just want to experience what we had again. Our last night together was amazing."
"That's because I thought you were in love with me."
"Let's get back together."
"No."
"Why? Wait...don't tell me that girl you were with is your new girlfriend!" She shouted before bursting into laughter.
