Toushiro hated how this turned out. He hated having to watch as the one who was meant to be his, was holding hands with the man who would soon become her husband.
He thought back to those wonderful moments where he had her in his arms and she was giving him a smile full of love and care. Now, she was giving that smile towards another man that wasn't him...
"I do."
Those words will continue to haunt him for as long as he lives and he knows that he will never be able to forget or forgive his actions that pushed her straight into the arms of that man.
It started 5 years ago. Karin was out visiting her brother and her sister while he had stayed home. Usually, he would tag along with Karin, but since he had a lot of paperwork to finish, he decided to stay behind.
On that day, Momo also came over to keep him company and to help him with his paperwork as well. Toushiro brought over tea as they worked, chatting idly as the day went by.
When it was around noon, Momo accidentally spilled some tea on herself. She changed into some of Karin's clothes that Toushiro lent her. Once she was done, she walked back to her place but then slipped, causing her to crash into Toushiro.
The position that they were in was very.. interesting. His leg was in between her thighs, her arms were on his chest, and their faces were inches away from one another.
Toushiro's breath hitched as his eyes began to wander down to Momo's lips. She was doing the same. Slowly, they began to move closer until their lips touched. Her tongue licked his bottom lip, as if asking permission to enter, to which he allowed.
They began to ravish one another for around five minutes before they heard a loud gasp. They quickly got off each other and looked straight up to see Karin and Yuzu, both of them looking down with wide eyes and gaping mouths.
"K-karin, it's not what-"
"Toushiro... why?"
She looked down at him with immense sadness in her eyes. He could tell she was holding back her tears. She was being strong for herself, and he hated that he was the cause of her pain.
He looked down at the floor.
"I-I don't know, I'm so sorry Karin."
Yuzu huffed and glared at him, then walked up to him, slapping him hard across the face. Momo gasped, quickly bending down to check if he was ok. Another slap was heard. Momo clutched her face as she stared at Yuzu.
Yuzu put her hands on her hips, then began to scream, "What is wrong with you two?!?? How could you do something like this?!? You should be ASHAMED of yourselves!!!"
She looked into Toushiro's eyes.
"You're the worst.. I really thought that you were better than this, never did the thought of you cheating cross my mind. You're so disappointing."
He didn't say anything, his eyes looking down at the ground. Slightly raising his head, he could see something glistening on Karin's face.
"Karin.."
He got up steadily, wanting to wrap his arms around her. Seeing her sad, just broke his heart and tore his soul.
From his peripheral vision, he could see Momo walking towards him. He could feel her present behind him, making him feel more disgusting than ever.
Karin spoke softly, "Toushiro, please.. tell me why. I really just want to know. Please, you owe me that at least.
"I'm so sorry Karin, but I really don't know what happened. I-I don't want to make excuses but from the bottom of my heart, I never meant to hurt you."
Gritting her teeth, Karin punched him in the stomach. He was pushed backwards onto Momo, who catched him before he fell completely.
Tears were streaming from Karin's eyes, both from sadness and anger.
"What do you mean you didn't mean to hurt me?!? If that was true, than you wouldn't have done this! You wouldn't have kissed HER!!"
She pointed at Momo, who flinched from fright, the color fading from her face.
"I thought, I-I thought you loved me.."
At this point, he really didn't know what to else to say or do. He was stuck. He wasn't sure what to do for once.
"Toushiro, I don't ever want to see you again. Thank you for the memories, I hope you find happiness with the one you truly love. Hinamori, keep the clothes, I don't ever want them back nor do I want to see you ever again either. Good bye."
She turned around and left, Yuzu following behind her. Momo laid her hand on his shoulder.
"Shiro-chan, I'm so sorry."
He moved away from her and sighed deeply.
"Momo, I think it's best if you leave for now, I need some time alone to think."
She hesitated for a moment then nodded her head slowly.
"Ok."
She left the room, glancing once more at him, before exiting.
Toushiro sighed again, feeling a headache coming on. He sat down and began filling out paperwork. Without paying attention to what he was writing, he looked back at his work, only to see that he had written 'Karin.'
He suddenly felt like crying. A tear gently began to fall down his cheek, the drop landing on top of Karin's name. More tears began to fall, and he couldn't stop them any longer.
Today was the day. Toushiro stared at the dark-haired beauty that was smiling straight ahead at her soon-to- be husband. She was wearing a gorgeous, strapless wedding gown with her hair in a bun. In his eyes, she simply looked angelic.
After their break up, Toushiro went to find her and pestered her whenever he got the chance to tell her how sorry he was and that he truly regretted his actions.
She didn't believe him and she would hit him whenever he got too close or he overstepped her boundaries.
Momo did the same, but she was doing it to Toushiro. She followed him everywhere he went. It got to the point where he got tired of it and he yelled at her to leave him alone.
She didn't, of course. She cried that she was sorry for what happened and that she had fallen in love with him, begging him to not leave her.
After a few months, Momo began to respect his wishes, thinking that if she was patient, he would probably give their relationship a chance. He never did.
It took Karin two years to forgive him, but by then, she was already taking to him. Inosuki Hiju. Not even three months later, they started dating. The days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and months turned into years, and now here they are.
Toushiro wasn't glad that things were going so well between them. Even though he felt bad, he was hoping that they would break up soon so that he could have another chance with Karin because he still loved her.
Her smile and voice was something he missed every day. They hung out once she forgave him but only as friends, though the time spent together wasn't much since she would always be around Hiju.
As he stood there, watching the woman of his dreams exchange vows with another man, kissing him with so much love and passion, his heart continued to break.
He longed to go back to fix his horrible mistake. He longed to change the fate that he was destined with. He longed to be in Hiju's place. He longed for her eyes to look at him so that she could see the love that was only for her.
He longed for her. He longed for her love and now, now he can't ever have it.
He will live with it. He'll forever live with the regret, the pain, the sorrow, and the fact that she is no longer his. A single tear escaped his eye, watching the love of his life, leaving happily with her husband.
