HAPPY FOR YOU-SDA
CHELSEA WELSH
Summary: This Was Inspired By An Episode Of Sex & The City When Big Got Married And Carrie Was A Bridesmaid. I Cried. "Kurama Attends His Best Friends Wedding. Yusuke Can't Know How Much It Hurt Him..."
I hate this, hiding in the bathroom of a cliché church with a broken lock.
I had to watch Yusuke, my ex lover, my everything, my heartache, walk down the aisle with the perfect bride Keiko Yukimora. I had to stand with Kuwabarra and Hiei, applauding and smiling...
...I am a liar...
Keiko embraced me, handing me white wine and thanking me for coming. And I congratulated her, wanting to hit her for taking him from me...
...I am a horrible person...
"Hey, Kurama!" Almost stiffly, he took my hand in his in a too-rough handshake. "Thanks for coming, fox."
He had once called me that in a hushed tone, with his hands on my hip.
He had danced with me, held me close on a porch swing, drinking cheap scotch.
"Of course, Yusuke." He walked away. ...Just like that. He wrapped those perfect arms around her perfect waist and their lips met. Hiei's hand fell to my shoulder. "Forget him, fox...he's not worth the tears." As if on cue, the liquid fell on my face. I forced a smile and touched his hand in a silent thanks. I didn't bother excusing myself.
So...here I am now, forcing myself to look at the mirror and tell myself to forget him. I splash my face with hot water and practice my smile and line over and over until it doesn't hurt. The knots in my stomach and throat have yet to smooth out.
"I'm happy for you, Yusuke." I sob through the smile. "I'm so happy for you..."
