| I'm Sorry |
It had only been a few days since I was released from the hospital and already I was eying the liquor in my cabinet. You were even more distant than ever, which didn't help my current state one bit. With a sniff and a cloudy mind, I reached for the small, tempting bottle and made my way to the couch. That same couch...
A knock on the door made me get to my feet again. It was probably Uruha, or Aoi, or Kai coming to check on me. I would just pull on the most realistic smile I could and tell them I was perfectly fine, like I always did. "Whoever it is this time, I'm serious when I say I'm..." After unlocking the door and opening it, I felt my fake smile immediately leave my pale features. "...O-Oh, it's y-you, R-Rei..." My voice was trembling.
You merely nodded. There was so much sadness in your eyes... "We've been holding this off for too long, ne..?" I'd never heard you speak so softly to me before; my heart fluttered.
I nodded, not trusting my voice to speak again, as I stepped aside and watched you enter. I took my time closing the front door back up and locking it, then headed over to the couch. I seated myself on the opposite side and kept a good distance between us. You liked distance...
"What the hell, Ruki. Are you trying to kill yourself?"
I flinched at the sudden anger in his voice, eyes shifting over to the bottle of alcohol I'd left on the table. I slowly shook my head. I was grateful to hear you release a frustrated sigh rather than lecture me. I was so sick of the talks.
"Ruki..."
I couldn't help but finally make eye contact when you used such a voice on me. Unexpectedly, I watched you scoot closer.
"I've been a complete ass to you... I've been a horrible friend, I've been a horrible person in general. I'm really sorry for what I said... I never would've said it if I were thinking clearly, but..." You faltered in your words, seeing the tears that rolled down my pale cheeks, but I pulled on the best encouraging smile I could. "...But after finding out something so shocking..."
I could feel more tears sting my eyes. "...You're still disgusted..."
"No, Ruki, I was never disgusted with you... I just couldn't... pull myself together... until now."
Fingers were at my chin, lifting my head so our eyes could meet. You were smiling... It felt like it had been years since I'd seen you smile. I loved it. My cheeks flushed when your thumb wiped at my tears, eventually ridding of the salty substance. And so soon you pulled away.
"...We're still friends?" I questioned quietly, uncertainly. At a time like this, I really didn't care if I came off as adorable to you. As long as you continued to smile at me like that.
"If you forgive me?"
I nodded continuously like a small child eager to play outside, pulling a laugh from your lips.
There was something in the back of my mind that made me think that was only thing we could be; friends. But I smiled anyway. As long as we were still close, I was happy...
A/N: O.M.G. I hated the way this turned out. xD I'm so sorry it's crap, but it was the best I could do, hun~
