As the sun began to rise over their small cabin, (Name) was already awake packing lunches and preparing breakfast.
“You’re up early.”
Kurapika sat down at the kitchen table, sending her a smile. “Oh, yeah, I needed to make sure everything was ready for today. We’ll be at the beach for quite a while, so I had to pack plenty of snacks.”
She looked cute in her matching set of pink pajamas. There wasn’t a time Kurapika could think of when he didn’t think she looked cute.
“Hmm, Kurapika, I’m brewing some coffee. Would you like a cup?”
He glanced up to see her walking forward, sitting down next to him. She seemed rather happy this morning, smiling as she leaned against his shoulder.
“We’re going to have a lot of fun today. I’m excited to spend lots of time with you!”
He pushed her away gently, looking away. She seemed just a little disappointed by this, but continued smiling. “I’ll go make you a cup of coffee.”
She hurried away to the kitchen. Kurapika caught her wiping at her eyes, his stomach twisting knowing he’d probably made her cry again.
He stood up suddenly and walked forward, unable to stop himself. She glanced up just in time to see Kurapika lift a hand and place it on her head in a gentle pat.
“… thank you.”
She blinked, looking up at him confused. He continued patting awkwardly, not able to look her in the eye.
“You’re… you’re welcome?”
(Name) also reached up and patted his head, not knowing what else she should do. They just stared at each other in confusion for a minute, neither willing to back down in fear it would make things even more awkward.
“Of course this is the first thing I see when I wake up at the buttcrack of dawn.”
Leorio stood in the doorway, scowling. He yawned loudly before pouring a cup of coffee for himself.
“Good morning Leorio! How did you sleep?”
“As good as someone can when your roommate is jer-“
Kurapika rushed forward and dragged Leorio away, leaving his cup on the table.
‘Was he about to say jerking off?’ (Name) thought, tilting her head. ‘It’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Poor Pik- I mean Kurapika.’
“Hey, what’s the big d-“
Kurapika slammed Leorio against the wall, his eyes shining red in embarrassment. “What the hell were you thinking telling her that? She’s a girl, you know?”
Leorio raised an eyebrow. “Telling her what, that you were jerking off last night? Do you think she cares what you do in the privacy of your- well actually OUR bedroom? Speaking of which, do that in the bathroom next time.”
Kurapika turned red. “I thought you were asleep, and I didn’t want to get up and disturb you.”
Leorio snickered. “You sure did disturb me. Who’s name were you muttering? You got me curious, I thought you said you didn’t have a special someone?”
‘Oh god, he heard me saying (Name)’s name?!’
Kurapika groaned loudly. “It’s none of your business, that’s such a strange question to ask someone.”
He shrugged. “Hey, you’re the one that jerked off with your friend in the room.”
“You’re acting like you didn’t when you, me, and (Name) shared a room before the 4th Phase of the Hunter Exam.”
Leorio’s jaw dropped. “You… you knew!?”
“You’re not exactly quiet.”
The two frowned at each other.
“Let’s never talk about this again.”
“Agreed.”
By the time the two had finished their awkward conversation, Killua and Gon were sat at the table with a plate of pancakes, bacon, and eggs in front of them.
“You two done making out or whatever? (Name) made breakfast.”
The two blinked. “I would rather die than make out with Leorio.”
Leorio gasped. “I’m offended. (Name), can you believe how mean he’s being to me??”
He ran to her and pulled her into a hug, sticking his tongue out at Kurapika. (Name) patted his back, rolling her eyes. “Well you did try to embarrass him earlier.”
Kurapika stiffened at this. ‘Did she hear enough to guess what he was going to say?’
He could feel the tips of his ears heat up, turning red.
“Ooo, we’re embarrassing Kurapika? I want in!”
(Name) placed Kurapika’s breakfast in front of him. “Don’t worry, you’ve got nothing to be embarrassed about. Everyone does it.”
She gave him a wink before walking away.
‘Does that mean, she…’
He shoved a pancake into his mouth so he could focus on not choking, instead of the thought of (Name) shoving her fingers into her pussy.
———————
It was still early when they arrived at the beach. (Name) set up a few towels along with a large umbrella. Kurapika and Leorio carried her cooler, the boys working on blowing up a beach ball.
“Sunscreen everyone. I don’t think I need to remind you of what happened last t-“
Killua started to sneak away while she was talking. “Gon, get him.”
Leorio and Kurapika glanced at each other before watching Gon chase Killua down the beach, kicking up sand behind them. She waited patiently, rubbing sunscreen on herself while she waited.
As Kurapika helped her rub sunscreen into her back, Gon returned with Killua in tow.
“Oh good, I was afraid I’d have to come after you myself.”
She grabbed Killua by the shoulders and sat him down on the towel to begin applying his sunscreen.
“Last time, you got so sunburned, you cried for days.”
Killua whipped his head around, his cheeks red. “Mom, don’t tell then th-“
When he realized what he said, it was much too late to take it back.
“Hmm? Don’t tell them what?”
The entire group was silent besides (Name). She didn’t seemed fazed at all, the same smile she had on before he began talking still on her face.
Killua’s face turned beet red, and he grabbed Gon’s hand before rushing into the waves.
(Name) watched as Gon asked Killua something, only for the white haired boy to throw him deeper into the ocean.
“Mom, huh?”
Kurapika snickered from his seat on (Name)’s towel. “Didn’t know you had children, (Name).”
She giggled. “Yeah, I have two actually, Gon and Killua. I don’t mind, really. They’re basically my kids already, it doesn’t matter what they call me.”
Kurapika’s eyes softened as (Name) watched the two play with a smile. ‘A mother… hmm.’
He knew she would be a good mom, from her interactions with the two boys alone.
‘She’s going to be an amazing mother, I’ll make sure of it.’
He continued to watch her for a moment before he realized what he’d just thought. Kurapika felt his entire body heat up, causing him to jump up and rush towards the water himself.
‘What am I thinking? I can’t make her a mother, not when I have my goals to complete…’
But the thought of someone else taking that role left a sour taste in his mouth.
“Kurapikaaa!”
(Name) and Leorio ran towards the waves, the former waving as she did. “We brought you your own boogie board!”
He wasn’t paying much attention to her words, his eyes were glued to her chest. She’d gotten a new bathing suit, and this one showed even more skin, if that was possible.
Kurapika was just glad his lower half was under water.
“Okay, so you get on this like…”
She laid the boogie board down in the water and climbed onto it, giggling as she road a wave. Leorio held onto the board by the rope attached to it so she wouldn’t go to far.
“You lie on your tummy and ride the waves!”
Kurapika held onto his own board, watching her with those observant brown eyes. “Hmm… seems easy enough.”
He followed her example, easily riding the wave. “It’s… pretty fun.”
The three played in the waves for a bit, laughing when Leorio got a face full of seaweed when he didn’t duck down quick enough.
Although, they weren’t laughing when a huge wave hit (Name).
“(Name)!”
Kurapika waded over to where she was swept under, his eyes scanning the water before he spotted Leorio pulling her close.
“Is she alright? She could have swallowed some water…”
He continued forward, stopping suddenly.
“Didn’t her top have a… tie in the back?”
(Name) coughed into Leorio’s chest, Kurapika tilting his head.
“Kurapika, she lost her top. Can you find it?”
The blonde paused. “Her… top?”
You could almost hear the sound of the gears turning in his head.
Kurapika’s face turned beet red. (Name) was topless right now, and her chest was pressed up against Leorio, who held her close with no visible reaction.
“Kurapika!”
The blonde snapped out of his thoughts to see Leorio staring at him, seemingly frustrated. “Find her top. We can’t move until you do.”
He nodded quickly, and using his nen he was able to find it. He held the garment up for a moment.
‘Huh. Why is holding this doing something for me?’
He stored that information away for later, making his way to the two quickly. Before, they’d been alone at the beach, but people were beginning to set up on the sand. He needed to get her top to her before some pervert(other than him and Leorio) saw her.
“Here it is.”
He handed the top to Leorio. Kurapika watched as (Name) pulled back a little, able to see a bit of side boob.
Even that was enough to get him rock hard.
“Kurapika, can you tie me up in the back?”
He stared, wide eyed for a few seconds, Leorio raising an eyebrow. “Can you hurry up? Some people are coming this way. You’re the only one that can tie good knots, right?”
Kurapika gulped, reaching down her sides to pick up the strings. “I’m going to tie it now.”
He pulled them taut, glancing down to tie it tightly. Although Kurapika wouldn’t mind her top coming off around him, this was a public beach. For some reason, the thought of anyone else seeing her naked body made him… uneasy. No, that wasn’t quite right.
‘…’
Jealous.
He finished the knot and stepped back. “It’s done.”
Leorio sighed and let (Name) go, the girl turning around to reveal she’d teared up a bit from the embarrassment.
“Thank you!”
She jumped towards him and gave him a hug. The thin fabric of her bathing suit was the only barrier between his bare chest and hers.
‘Leorio, that lucky bastard.’
But if he had been the one to pull her up, would he have been able to shield her body with his own?
‘I would have passed out.’
Kurapika did still send Leorio a suspicious look. Why wasn’t he becoming absolutely flustered from seeing (Name)’s bare chest? It didn’t make sense to him. Leorio was a pervert, that hit on any woman in his vicinity.
And that pervert didn’t so much as blush with her boobs pressed up against him.
‘If that had happened to me…’
He pictured the scenario in his mind, (Name)’s breasts pressed into his chest.
“Kurapika, you coming?”
(Name) had pulled away from the hug and walked away and joined Leorio on the boogie boards again.
“On my way.”
————————
The group gathered under her umbrella for lunch. Gon and Killua grabbed their premade sandwiches and a bag of chips each before Killua dragged him away again.
“Seems mommas boy is still embarrassed about earlier.”
(Name) smacked Kurapika’s arm playfully. “Oh stop it, don’t tease my baby.”
“Your baby?”
The image of (Name) carrying a baby on her hip, smiling in her kitchen as Kurapika returned home from work.
He shook the thought from his head. He didn’t want to think about how warm and fuzzy the thought of her carrying his child made him feel.
“Kurapika, you should eat your chips before Leorio does.”
The blonde blinked before snatching the small bag of chips from Leorio’s hands. “Just because I haven’t eaten them yet doesn’t mean you can have them.”
“You snooze you lose, bozo.”
Kurapika scowled before throwing a handful of chips into his mouth.
(Name), who thought he was acting like this because he was hangry, used her spoon to scoop a few of her strawberries onto Kurapika’s plate.
“Here, you like strawberries, right? You can have some of mine.”
He didn’t have the heart to tell her he in fact didn’t like strawberries that much. The seeds got stuck in his teeth and he wasn’t a huge fan of the texture.
Kurapika popped one into his mouth, giving her a small smile. “Thank you.”
The three ate their lunch in silence, Leorio occasionally attempting to steal some of Kurapika’s chips. “Try that again and I’ll be biting off a finger.”
“Seems like Killua is rubbing off on you.”
(Name) stood up and stretched, shielding her eyes from the sun.
“Anyone up for some volleyball?”
The two glanced at each other, then to her.
“What’s volleyball?”
(Name) explained volleyball to the two, mimicking the movements as she explained.
“But we’d need more players. It’s only the three of us.”
She nodded. “Yeah, so we’re going to ask around and see if anyone would like to play with us.”
She began to walk away to ask, but Kurapika grabbed her wrist. “Wait, I’ll go with you.”
“Hmm? I can handle myself, you know.”
Kurapika glanced around the area, easily spotting several men eyeing her from other spots on the beach. He shook his head. “I’m not saying you can’t, I just… want to walk with you.”
This seemed to make the girl perk up. “With me? Oh, okay!”
Leorio rolled his eyes as they walked away, hand in hand. ‘Manipulative bastard. He knows she can’t say no to him wanting to spend time with her.’
Leorio didn’t exactly love that Kurapika was using her affection for him to his advantage, but he wasn’t doing it to be cruel.
At least not now.
Kurapika had to admit, he didn’t mind walking hand in hand with (Name). She was so warm, her presence always seemed to exude warmth and comfort. It was hard to NOT relax when he was around her.
It was yet another thing he added to the list of reasons to get away as soon as possible.
But while he was here… he could indulge in her. Just a little.
“Hi!”
(Name) had stopped in front of a mixed group of men and women, who were all sitting under a tent.
A few of the people turned to look at her.
“We’re going to play some volleyball, and wanted to see if anyone here would like to join us!”
A few of the people stood up. Two women, and three men. “Sure, we’ve got nothing better to do!”
The two women warmed up to (Name) almost instantly as they walk back, chatting with her. Kurapika wasn’t sure why, but he felt… competitive at the moment.
“Your bathing suit is so cute, (Name)! Where did you get it from?” one of the women asks, looking (Name) up and down.
(Name) answered with a smile, the women nodding along as she talked. Kurapika had been subtlety pushed to the side so they two women could walk, one on each of her sides.
And he didn’t like that, not one bit.
“(Name).”
She looked back, the women stopping.
“Yes?”
Kurapika took the opportunity to lock arms with (Name), glancing between the two women. (Name) seemed happy that he was touching her all on his own.
“Is she your girlfriend or something?”
Kurapika began to answer, but noticed they were talking to (Name), not him.
‘Do they think… we are two women in a relationship?’
Kurapika blinked rapidly, now realizing the way they were looking at (Name). Their eyes were on her body, taking in her curves.
“Oh, no, he’s not my boyfriend. Just my…”
She glanced at him. “Just a friend.”
Kurapika didn’t know why, but her hesitation to call him a friend hurt his feelings. ‘Just a friend..’
The two women seemed to perk up. “Really, then you’re single?”
“Yeah!”
Kurapika noticed the three men sipping on some alcoholic beverages as they trailed behind them. It was clear they weren’t paying attention to the conversation. He wouldn’t have to worry about them, but obviously the women in front of him were interested in (Name).
The arrived at (Name)’s umbrella shortly after, Leorio jumping up to greet the two women.
“Hello, I’m Leorio, and what are you two lovely ladies names?”
The first woman, a tall blonde with sun kissed skin smiled. “I’m Mellow.”
“And I’m Tasha!” said the shorter brunette. Leorio shook both of their hands.
“You two ladies sing-“
“We’re lesbians.”
Kurapika and Leorio blinked, the two women once again standing by (Name)’s side. “Oh!”
(Name) didn’t seem surprised, smiling at the two. “So how should we split up teams?”
The teams went like this: (Name), Leorio, Mellow, and one of the men. The other team was Tasha, two of the men, and Kurapika.
The blonde scoffed as he joined the other team, watching (Name) talk with Mellow softly, occasionally giggling.
If he’d been holding the volleyball, it would have popped.
————————
After the game, (Name) exchanged numbers with Mellow and Tasha. They offered to take her out for drinks before they left town. “Just call if you’re interested! See you later, cutie.”
(Name) became flustered at that, waving as they left. Leorio glanced to Kurapika, raising an eyebrow at his irritated expression.
“What’s got your panties in a twist, Kurapika?”
The blonde huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. “I’m completely calm. Happy even.”
“Uh huh.”
(Name) ran back over, her breasts bouncing. Kurapika’s eyes followed her movements, staring at her chest.
“I think it’s about time to get back home. It’s better to leave a little early, so we don’t get caught up in the crowd.”
The blonde nodded, his irritation fading away. “That’s smart, if we were to leave later it would take much longer to get home.”
(Name) pulled her bikini top up a little, turning towards the water. “Let’s get a little more time in the water, then we’ll go!”
Without another word, the ran towards the waves, jumping in. Leorio followed right behind her. “Don’t get water in your no- oh she already did.”
Kurapika snickered from his place on their beach towel, watching as Leorio patted (Name)’s back. Her pouty face was cute, he had to admit.
“Why are you staring at (Name) like some sort of creep?”
Kurapika glanced up to see Killua and Gon walking towards him, carrying buckets of fish they’d caught. Was that a crab in Gon’s hair? Questions for later.
“(Name)? You must mean your mom, right?”
Killua turned red, dropping the bucket so water would splash onto the blonde. “Hey, you little-“
“Kurapika, watch me!”
He paused, looking out into the water as (Name) dived under, doing a handstand. She resurfaced, seeming proud of herself.
“Did… did you see me?”
Kurapika glanced to Leorio, who nodded. “… yes. It was um… cool?”
Her smile widened and she continued playing with Leorio, splashing and laughing.
‘Cute.’
Kurapika had forgotten about Killua’s actions, continuing to watch the girl with a fond smile on his face.
“Ew. He’s still watching her. Should I call the police? No, the pound.”
Gon pinched his friend’s cheek. “Oh, hush Killua. Don’t embarrass him. He’s already sitting all by himself.”
Kurapika glanced around to see he was, in fact, completely alone besides the two. “… I’m alone on purpose.”
“Sure you are. (Name) didn’t want to cuddle up with you?”
The blonde turned red, throwing a handful of sand in the boy’s face. “Shut up, you brat.”
“Oh no.”
Gon watched on as they threw sand at each other, just glad that Killua hadn’t resorted to biting off any fingers.
“And just what in the HELL do you two think you’re doing?”
Killua and Kurapika paused, the white haired boy just about to shove a handful of sand into the others mouth.
“Um… bonding?”
The two sat on their knees in front of (Name) as she chewed them out. “You god sand everywhere! Now it’s going to take twice as long to pack up!”
Kurapika didn’t want to admit how hot it was having her peer down at him, a scowl on her lips. It didn’t help that when she crossed her arms, it pushed up her breasts to show even more cleavage.
“… sorry (Name)…”
Killua stuck out at Kurapika as he apologized. “Yeah, sorry mo-“
Before he could even get the entire word out, Kurapika was laughing.
“Ugh… I’m sorry, (Name). It won’t happen a-“
“Don’t be sorry.”
Killua paused, his eyes widening ever so slightly when (Name) kneeled down in front of him. “Don’t you ever apologize for something like that. I love you, Killua, and if you wanted to call me mom, I wouldn’t mind at all. After all, if you can give me all these wrinkles, you’ve gotta be my baby, right?”
He takes a minute to process this, his eyes trained on (Name)’s face. She was being completely serious.
“…”
He didn’t respond, only sighing in contentment when she pulled him in for a hug. “It’s your choice, though. I don’t mind either way.”
She pulled away and kissed his forehead. “Though, I am honored that you think of me as a mother figure. I have a real special kid.”
She stood up, Leorio and Gon started packing up (Name)’s stuff so they wouldn’t be scolded too.
“Alright, it’s time to go. Let’s get to the car!!”
They raced off, (Name) being picked up by Leorio.
“You’re too slow, and you forgot your shoes in the car. The sand will burn your little toes.”
He held up one of her legs in the air, bending her into an awkward position.
“Leorio I think the entire beach can see my-“
He quickly pushed her leg back down. “Whoops, so-“
Kurapika snatched her out of his hands. “You probably did that on purpose, you filthy pervert.”
(Name) blinked. He’d thrown her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. ‘Well, he’s no Prince Charming but…’
She giggled, feeling his hand grip onto her thigh so she didn’t slip. ‘At least I know he cares.’
“(Name), you gonna cook these crabs for dinner?”
She glanced down a Gon, who had a crab stuck in his hair. “Sweetheart, are you aware that on of them is on your head?”
“Oh yeah, that’s Hanzo the third. He’s going to be my pet.”
‘Another Hanzo? This is getting out of hand.’
“That’s… wonderful.”
———————
“Oh no… Hanzo the third escaped!”
Killua shrugged. “I threw him in the pot.”
Gon collapsed to the floor. “NOO THAT WAS MY SECOND FAVORITE HANZO!”
“Is the real Hanzo the first?”
“Oh, no way. It’s Hanzo the Second.”
Kurapika watched this as he cut up celery and onions. If he was good at anything in the kitchen, it was slicing up vegetables.
“Killua, that was his pet. You apologize to Gon before i confiscate your chocolate robots.”
(Name) pointed a wooden spoon at the boy, a scowl on her face.
“… sorry Gon. Your friend will be delicious.”
‘Good enough, I guess.’
(Name) gave Kurapika a smile. “Thanks for helpful me out, I really appreciate it. Oh, and for carrying me earlier.”
He returned her smile, dumping the vegetables into a bowl. “It’s no trouble, you’re as light as a feather.”
She waved her hand. “Oh, you sweet talker, you!”
Leorio shrieked when a crab pinched his finger, waving it around. “SHIT! HANZO THE THIRD GOT ME!”
“HE’S STILL ALIVE!?”
Gon grabbed the crab and rushed out before Killua could take him again. The white haired boy shrugged. ��Must of been one tough crab. Gotta go see this…”
He followed Gon outside.
Leorio blew on his injured finger, (Name) holding out her hand. “Want me to make it better, Leorio?”
He nodded, placing his hand in hers.
‘Oh, I’ll get to see her nen ability up close!’
Kurapika watched as Leorio’s fingers swelling went down almost immediately, the man sitting. “Yeesh, I forget how much your nen drains me.”
“Drains?” Kurapika asked, tilting his head.
“Well, drain is a bit excessive. When I use my nen, it takes some of the stamina of the person I’m helping to make their wounds heal faster. Technically I’m not healing, just speeding up the individuals healing time.”
Kurapika’s eyes widened. “So you use time based nen? I didn’t know that was possible.”
‘She’s more talented than I thought. An ability like that would be incredibly useful.’
“Can it only be used on humans?”
She blinked. “Well, I’ve used it on inanimate objects before, like doors, but haven’t tried it on anything else.”
He nodded slowly. ‘Interesting, so she can speed up the time of anything she touches? Or her aura touches..?’
“I have to be in at least a 15 foot proximity to my target for it to work. It’s not good for long range, I’m afraid.”
“Still, it’s an interesting ability.”
She smiled. “So I’ve been told. It helps me get a lot of work.”
Kurapika paused. “Work?”
“Yeah, I take on missions as a Support Hunter. That means people hire me to provide support in battles or missions. Oftentimes it’s fellow hunters that hire me, but occasionally I get a rich guy that wants a pretty lady taking care of him.”
Kurapika scowled. “That’s… hmm.”
She waved her hands. “Don’t worry, my customers aren’t perverts, they’d just prefer a woman caring for them than a man. And if I’m getting paid, I don’t care if they’re staring at my butt.”
He stopped himself from saying that HE cared. Why should he? And why should his opinion even matter?
“Well I care. If any of them lay a finger on you, tell me.”
Leorio patted her head, giving her a smile. Kurapika cursed himself for not speaking up, seeing (Name) blush at Leorio’s words.
“Aww, my sweet Leorio!”
She pulled him down and gave him a kiss on the cheek before hugging him right.
Kurapika could only watch, his hand twitching. Had he only voiced his thoughts, that could be him. But would she do that, even if he had said something? He had been pushing all of her affection away lately…
“Kurapika? Are the vegetables ready?”
“Oh- yes!”
The three continued cooking for a while longer, though Kurapika noticed (Name) wincing and rubbing her lower back throughout the night.
———————
After dinner, the group decided to turn in early. A day spent at the beach had even worn Killua out. (Name) tucked them in for bed, kissing each of their foreheads before grabbing a snack from the kitchen.
Kurapika was already there, munching on some cookies (Name) baked after dinner. He glanced up when she walked in, pausing mid bite.
“Oh, hi (Name). These are really good.”
She giggled, taking a cookie for herself. “I’m glad you like them. Have as many as you’d like.”
The blonde shook his head. “Oh, don’t say that. I’ll end up eating all of them.”
(Name) leaned against the counter raising an eyebrow. “How can you always eat so much and barely gain any weight? I’m jealous.”
She finished her cookie before grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge.
“Well, my nen takes a lot of energy to produce, so I have to refuel by eating.”
Her expression shifted to one of concern. ‘Is that why he lost weight? His nen must be using more energy than he’s gaining back through eating…’
She walked forward, pouring some milk into a cup and handing it to him. “Here, drink up!”
“Oh, thank you.”
He sipped on his drink, watching her from the corner of his eye. She was tidying up the kitchen, putting away the dishes and wiping down the counters. Even on vacation, she was at work.
“Here, let me help.”
He grabbed the rag she’d been using to wipe down the counters, shooing her away. “I’ll finish up in here, you go get some rest.”
Usually, (Name) would protest, but she was feeling more tired than usual, and her body was aching. “Yeah, ok. Thank you.”
He watched her shuffle off to her bedroom, hissing as she rubbed her back again. ‘Did she hurt her back today? Our game of volleyball was pretty intense…’
Kurapika thought about going after her to offer to massage her back or grab her some medicine, but stopped halfway.
The Kurapika that diligently took care of her when she was hurt, rubbing soothing hands into the aching parts of her body was gone. He couldn’t let himself become that person again, not if it meant getting her hopes up that he was back, and there to stay.
He didn’t want to hurt her, he’d done enough already.
Instead, Kurapika walked to his and Leorio’s shared room. He knocked before stepping in.
“Come in.”
Kurapika sighed, plopping down onto his bed. Leorio was lying atop the covers, wearing only his boxers. “Why can’t you wear pajamas like a normal person? What if (Name) saw you?”
Leorio grunted, waving his hand. “It ain’t anything she hasn’t seen before.”
Kurapika shot up at this, his eyes wide. “She’s seen you in your underwear?!”
Leorio glanced at him, putting down the porn magazine he’d been looking at. “We lived together for a few months after the Hunter Exam, we’ve seen plenty of each other.”
‘Of each other? Does that mean…’
That made sense, considering Leorio’s reaction earlier today, or lack there of. If he’d already seen her naked, that would explain everything.
“How… how much have you seen? Of her, I mean.”
The dark haired man raised an eyebrow. “Why do you want to know? It’s really none of your business.”
“It is. She’s my friend.”
“It’s a weird question to ask about a friend, but…”
Leorio groaned as he stretched, letting a loud yawn. “Just her chest, really. She’s seen everything of me, you know that from the Hunter Exam.”
“Don’t remind me.”
Kurapika sighed, partially relieved. ‘If he’s only seen her chest, that means they haven’t…’
He’d had his suspicions the two were together, unable to really tell, but with this it made sense how close they were. They’d lived together, and had been very close since York New.
When the group parted ways after rescuing Killua, Leorio and (Name) had tickets for the same airship, so they’d left together. He hadn’t thought much about it then, but perhaps on the way there they agreed to live with each other.
(Name) got an apartment in York New around July 2nd-4th, meaning the two spent at least four months living together. That was a lot of time to be around another person, more time he’d spent with the group all together.
Actually, the fourish weeks he’d spent at (Name)’s house was the longest he’d stayed with his friends.
Kurapika turned over, staring out the window at the ocean view. Even though he didn’t want to admit it, the past few weeks had been some of the best he’d had in years. (Name) really did know how to make him feel better.
She’d always been like that. Soft, kind, considerate. He wanted to protect that pretty smile of hers, more than anything he wanted to keep her happy forever.
Maybe in a different life, in a different body, he could be the person that followed her to her room and soothed her pain.
But he couldn’t be that person right now, and wasn’t sure he could ever be what she needed. His life was one of danger, bloodshed, and revenge. A pure soul such as herself had no place by his side.
She was an angel, and he was a lowly devil. He didn’t want to dirty her with his blood soaked hands, even if all he wanted was to touch, to hold her.
Kurapika felt his heart begin to race as he thought about her. He tried to calm himself, thinking about his mission.
Eventually, he was able to sleep. Not before masturbating to the picture they’d taken together at the beach, just him and her. She’d insisted on it, sending him the picture after. He wondered if she’d noticed how her nipples poked through her thin bikini top, or how cute her smile was.
Kurapika sighed, feeling relieved before passing out.
——————
The blonde awoke to the sound of creaking floorboards. He groaned, slipping on the house shoes (Name) brought for him before sliding towards the door, rubbing his tired eyes.
Creeping down the hallway was (Name), and Kurapika quickly noticed she was wearing a different pair of pants than she’d gone to sleep in.
“(Name) what are you doing up so late? I thought I told you to rest.”
He almost sounded cranky, fumbling for the light switch. She stood with her back to him, stiffening. “Oh, um… I just woke up, I’ll be going back to bed soon, promise.”
Kurapika rubbed his temple before walking over to her. “You-“
He blinked. She was carrying her sheets, and her pair of pants. He could see the distinct color of red staining the sheet.
“Oh.”
He let her go, the girl turning to him, looking embarrassed.
“I’ll go get Leorio.”
Kurapika patted her shoulder, trying to put her at ease. He knew it couldn’t exactly be fun for someone to see she’d bled through both her pants and the sheets in her sleep.
Thankfully, a similar situation had happened during the Hunter Exam, so he knew what to do this time.
Kurapika shook Leorio’s shoulder roughly, the dark haired man swatting his hand away before rolling over.
“Leorio, it’s (Name). She’s, um…”
At the mention of (Name)’s name, he shot up, eyes wide.
“What happened? She didn’t hurt herself, did she?”
Kurapika shook his head, blinking. “No? She just… she started… her…”
Leorio sighed, holding a hand to his chest. “You woke me up because she started her period? God, don’t scare me like that, Kurapika.”
Despite his words, Leorio stood and walked to the living room, where (Name) sat after putting the clothes and sheets on to wash.
“Hey, (Name).”
He plopped down in front of her, opening his suitcase. Because (Name) had irregular and heavy periods, he carried both pads and Midol with him.
“You have pads?”
She nodded slowly, looking uncomfortable with Kurapika lingering behind the couch. Although she didn’t mind talking to Leorio about these things due to how close they’d become, Kurapika had become close to a stranger.
“Oh, um. Do you need anything?” Kurapika asked, hovering around her. Despite hesitating to help her earlier that night, he couldn’t help but feel he needed to do SOMETHING. He’d seen how much pain her period caused her first hand.
“There’s a…” she held onto her abdomen, hissing in pain before continuing, “a heating pad in the storage closet down the hall. Could you grab it?”
“On it.”
While he walked away, Leorio grabbed her a cup of juice so she could take some pain medicine. He also made sure do a quick check up using the equipment he had on hand.
“You seem alright, fortunately. You should eat something before you go back to bed, though. How about some leftovers?”
She nodded, a sigh leaving her lips. “Yeah, make me a plate, please?”
“Of course.”
Kurapika returned with the heating pad, plugging it in before wrapping it in a towel and handing it to (Name). “Here.”
She sighed softly as she rested the heating pad against her abdomen. “Thank you, this always helps. You’re so sweet to me…”
Her hand held onto his, her thumb rubbing against his knuckles gently.
He felt his cheeks heat up. “I-it’s no problem, really. I know, at least during the Hunter Exam, your… it was very painful for you.”
She nodded slowly. “Yeah, and you were there for me then, too. I love you, so much.”
He felt his entire body stiffen, his lips parting in a silent gasp. She’d told him this before, she’d said it to all of her friends, but it always caught him off guard.
He could tell she meant it, and it made his heart thump painfully against his chest.
“…”
Quietly, he sat down next to her. He kept his hand in hers, not saying anything when she leaned her head against his shoulder.
“Remember when I chewed Hanzo out when he asked if I was on my period?”
Kurapika snickered. “Yeah. I wanted to slap him.”
“I mean, the answer was yes b-“
“He still had to no right to ask that. The crude bastard.”
(Name) felt her lips curl into a smile. Leorio came around the corner, (Name) poking her head up.
“Here you go, doll face. Eat up.”
He set the plate in front of her, (Name) happily munching away. “Mmm, I was barely able to eat dinner, but now that I’ve had some medicine I feel well enough to eat.”
‘She didn’t eat much at dinner? I didn’t even notice…’
But Leorio had. He plopped down on the other side of (Name), turning the TV on.
“I’ll stay with you until you’re ready to sleep. Wanna watch Sailor Moon or something?”
She nodded, unable to speak because her mouth was full.
“Thought so, it’s one of your favorites after all.”
Another thing Kurapika didn’t know about (Name). He stole a piece of fish from her plate, suddenly realizing he was hungry again.
“Hey!”
She sent him a glare, pulling her plate towards Leorio, who also stole a piece from her plate.
“Rude, go make your own if you’re hungry!”
Kurapika chuckled. He remembered just a few hours ago, she had no problem sharing one of her favorite fruits with him, and now she was being stingy with her food. It was cute, honestly.
“Leorio, I’m going to make myself a plate. Do you want anything?”
“I’ll come with.”
The two walked to the kitchen together, Leorio opening the fridge to take the leftovers out again.
“She’s going to be alright. I checked, nothing is out of the ordinary.”
Kurapika visibly relaxed, leaning against the counter. “Good, good. Last time, she got so… sick? I guess weak would be a better term. It was…”
“Scary?”
The blonde nodded, taking out two plates. “Yeah. I never knew a woman’s menstrual cycle could cause such symptoms.”
Leorio sighed. “Yeah, well I finally got her to see a doctor about it when she stayed with me. Now she takes medicine to regulate her period. The pain and nausea is still there, but at least it’s not as bad as… before.”
It felt a bit awkward to be discussing their female friend’s menstruation, but they’d both seen how badly it affected her during the Hunter Exam. Leorio didn’t want Kurapika to worry too much.
“I see. That’s good, I remember you were worried she might be anemic.”
Leorio nodded, pulling his heated food out of the microwave. “Thankfully she wasn’t, but having a period as heavy as hers can cause it.”
The two walked back to the living room, food in hand. They plopped down onto the couch, one on each side of (Name).
She seemed invested in her anime, barely acknowledging that they had come back.
“Hmm, guess we’ll be waking up late.” Leorio said with a yawn. (Name) shook her head.
“Actually, I’m getting up early to go collect seashells. Because I’m on my period, I probably won’t stay at the beach all day tomorrow.”
Kurapika frowned. “I can stay home with you, if-“
She shook her head again. “Actually, there’s something I wanted to do anyways. I’ll need everyone out of the house before lunch.”
The two glanced at each other. “Are you sure you should be alone all day?”
“I’ll be fine. If it makes you feel any better, I’ll send texts throughout the day.”
Leorio sighed. “Alright, but if I don’t get hourly texts I’m going to rush home, and I WILL treat you like a baby the rest of the trip.”
(Name) shivered. “Noted.”
They stayed up for a little longer, watching anime and eating leftovers before (Name) began to nod off.
“Hmm… (Name), I think it’s bedtime.”
Leorio scooped her up, only chuckling when she complained. “Hey, I let you stay up for an entire hour, it’s time to sleep.”
She pouted, but stayed quiet.
“… I can take her to bed.”
Leorio raised an eyebrow. “I’ve got it.”
And he was gone without another word. Kurapika watched, gripping onto the fabric of his shirt as Leorio entered her bedroom.
———————
(Name) woke up at around 5 am, yawning before pulling on a pair of shorts and a tshirt. She picked up a small bucket, walking down the hallway and sitting to slip on her shoes.
“(Name)? You’re up early.”
Killua stood in the doorway to his and Gon’s shared room, staring at her with this big, catlike eyes.
“Yeah, I wanted to go collect some shells before the beach got too crowded. They wash up during the night and in the mornings, then most of the pretty ones get snatched up before we would get there.”
She stretched, a small smile on her face when she glanced down at the strawberry patterned flip flops on her feet. They were a gift from Killua, and he seemed proud to see her wearing them.
“Oh, ok. Can I come with?”
“Yeah, just get dressed and meet me outside in 5 minutes.”
He tiptoed back into his room and got dressed as quickly as he could. (Name) offered him her hand when he met her outside, the boy taking it instantly.
They walked along the beach, Killua letting go of her hand to trail behind her.
He had only come to make sure she was safe, barely kicking the sand as he walked. Killua watched her pick up shell after shell, occasionally tossing some less desired ones back into the ocean.
But he noticed she’d missed a large shell, half buried in the sand. Killua caught up to her, handing (Name) the shell.
“Hey, you missed one.”
(Name) gasped, turning around the shell in her hands, beaming.
“Killua, this is the prettiest shell I’ve seen all morning! Good eye!”
She patted his head before continuing her search.
‘…’
Killua began running around the beach, finding shells she wouldn’t be able to see because of his superior eyesight. Every time, she gasped in delight, praising him for his finds.
He seemed to be having fun, making a game out of collecting bigger, shinier, prettier shells.
Within 20 minutes, the bucket she brought was full. “Wow, team work really makes the dream work. These are gorgeous, Killua!”
He blushed from her praise, kicking at the sand in embarrassment. “Thanks…”
She left her bucket on the beach, looking out at the water. “Oh, let’s wade in the waves, we might see some cool fish!”
He followed her into the water, the two crouching to watch fish swim by. They were quiet, but Killua couldn’t help but gasp when a small shark swam by, shaking (Name)’s shoulder.
“Mom, mom look!”
He paused, but this time tried not to run away in embarrassment. He didn’t want to scare the fish away, or spook the shark.
“Oh, wow! What a pretty shark.”
They continued this for a while, occasionally wading to different parts of the beach to see other creatures.
The sun was rising over the beach when (Name) stood. “Alright, it’s time to get home. If I don’t make breakfast, Gon will start chewing on the furniture again.”
He nodded, following her towards the beach. Killua enjoyed these moments with (Name), where he could have fun and enjoy what the world had to offer, without judgment. In front of her, he didn’t have to put up a front. He could be himself, completely.
“Killua, hop on!”
(Name) crouched down, looking back at him. Killua huffed. “I’m getting to big for piggyback rides.”
She tilted her head. “Now matter how big, or how small, you’ll always be my baby. Now hop on, we gotta hurry.”
She turned her head back around, and he had to clench his fist to keep himself from tearing up. Killua climbed on her back and she stood, holding onto his legs.
“See? Not too big. Still my little guy.”
He buried his face in her hair, sighing softly. She always made him feel safe, loved. It wasn’t often that Killua relaxed enough to fall asleep while being carried, but he easily dozed off as she carried him home.
(Name) held back a giggle at realization he’d fallen asleep. ‘He must if still been tired whne he agreed to come with me. My sweet Killua…’
As (Name) approached the Cabin, Kurapika was waking up. He stood and walked to the living room, noticing he felt (Name)’s aura outside, not inside.
The blonde peaked out the window to see her walking back from the beach, Killua asleep on her back. The sight made Kurapika’s heart race.
He couldn’t help but think of her carrying HIS offspring, not Killua. She really would make a great mother, and maybe she already was one.
Kurapika opened the door and ran down the stairs, meeting (Name) halfway.
“You shouldn’t be carrying anything heavy right now, (Name). Let me get him.”
She didn’t argue, allowing Kurapika to gently take Killua. “Just be careful, that’s my baby.”
Kurapika paused, his cheeks turning pink. ‘How cute.’
“… I’ll be careful.”
He took Killua to his room as (Name) began to cook breakfast, watching her when he returned.
“Kurapika, sweetheart, can you help me with breakfast?”
He hurried forward. “Yes!”
————————
After a quick breakfast, the boys all waved goodbye, carrying their beach equipment away. “Make sure Killua gets his sunscreen on, Leorio!”
“I will! Remember what I said last night, text me every hour!”
“Ugh, I will…”
She folded her arms, watching them go.
“Alright, it’s time…”
(Name) walked back in, closing the front door behind her. She snuck to her room and dug through her suitcase.
“There!”
She pulled out the package Illumi had given her, a big smile on her face. (Name) began to unwrap it slowly, giggling. “He’s going to be so surprised!”
At the beach, Kurapika and Leorio had just finished making sure the two boys were covered in sunscreen.
The blonde lied back on the towel, reading from the book (Name) had dropped at the pool. He’d already finished it a few days ago, but had begun rereading it.
It was definitely smutty, but besides that the plot was interesting. He could see why she liked it, in multiple ways.
‘I wonder if she masturbates while reading this…’
He turned the page before realizing what he’d just thought. He groaned and let the book fall onto his face, shielding his eyes.
Since she’d pretty much confirmed she masturbated, he couldn’t get his mind off of it. At night, he’d imagine how cute she’d look with her butt in the air, fingers pumping in and out of her plump cunt.
What he wouldn’t give to see her face when she orgasmed…
“Kurapika, are you aware you’re over there pitching a tent?”
Kurapika picked the book up and gave Leorio a confused look. “Pitching a hug?”
Leoruo pointed to his crotch. “You’ve got a boner.”
Kurapika looked down and turned red. He was, in fact hard. Leorio threw him a towel to cover himself. “I-I didn’t mean to-“
“It happens, don’t sweat it.”
Despite Leorio’s reassurance, Kurapika still felt incredibly embarrassed. He stood, using the large towel to wrap around himself. “I’m going to turn in early today.”
“By we’ve only been here an hour, and (Name) wanted us gone for a reason.” Leorio said, before taking a sip of the beer (Name) packed for him.
“I’m sure she won’t mind, besides I… need to take care of this.”
Leorio sighed. “Alright. I didn’t want (Name) to be by herself all day anyways.”
Kurapika grabbed a soda before leaving.
————————
(Name) hummed to herself as she began cooking. Although she couldn’t read the directions in the cookbook she’d gotten from Illumi, it had detailed drawings showing exactly what to do.
Thankfully, no one had suspected the few different ingredients she picked out. None of them were things she usually bought, but they weren’t anything she hadn’t worked with before.
She had to make a few substitutions, as she couldn’t include a vegetable only grown in the Lukso Province.
(Name) had in her hands, an official Kurtan Cookbook. It had taken her nearly a year to get it. At first, she planned on gifting it to Kurapika if he made it to Christmas, but not only did he not show up, she wasn’t able to get it on time.
The woman held her abdomen for a moment, feeling a cramp coming on. It was her body telling her she needed to take her medicine again.
She prepared herself a cup of juice and took her medicine before continuing her work.
Thankfully, there was just enough information in the cook book to make proper substitutions. The Lukso Province vegetable she couldn’t get could be substituted with onions and celery. One day, (Name) wanted to go there and propagate some of the plants to properly make this dish for Kurapika.
Well, that was if she ever saw him again after today.
(Name) tried not to tear up thinking about him. They’d been close, so close that up until a few weeks before York New, they’d been texting and calling constantly. Sometimes, they’d even fall asleep while on the phone.
But a few weeks leading up to their meeting, Kurapika slowly began to distance himself from her. At first it was just taking a few hours to message her with the excuse he was busy with training. Then his responses took days, and eventually, he stopped responding at all.
(Name) had been sad, but assumed it was only because of his busy schedule. After all, they would be meeting in just a few days! It shouldn’t matter that he hadn’t called her back in a week.
But even after he was supposed to call her when he arrived in York New, (Name) received nothing. No call, no text, not even an email. He’d essentially ghosted her.
Although they would meet multiple times in York New, not a single one of those meetings was a net positivite, honestly each one left her feeling drained and… useless.
She wiped a stray tear from her eye, pushing the memory of his angry and spiteful eyes out of her mind. So far, he hadn’t shown that side of him, and if he was really never going to see her again, she wanted to remember him for the sweet guy she knew he could be. Not the man who’d broken her heart.
Kurapika arrived at the cabin, blinking at the familiar scent in the air. It filled him with nostalgia, a strange ache in his chest causing him to walk into the cabin less stealthily than he had planned.
Thankfully, (Name) seemed distracted with what she was making in the kitchen.
“Kurapika?”
Or not. Sometimes he forgot she could use nen now, so no matter how sneaky, if he didn’t mask his presence she would sense him. “Sorry, I know you wanted us out of the house, but I… got too overheated.”
It was a quickly thought up lie, and he hoped she wouldn’t see though him. To his relief, she gave him a concerned look and ushered for him to sit down.
“Oh no, I’m sorry. I hope you didn’t feel pressured to stay out there because I asked for you all to be out of the house.”
She brought a wet paper towel to him, gently patting his red cheeks. “Don’t worry, I actually needed you here after all.”
He tilted his head. “For what?”
“First, sit down and I’ll bring you something cold to drink.”
He obliged, sitting at the kitchen table and saying a small thank you when she offered him a cold glass of water.
“Just a moment, I’ll bring you something to try!”
He watched her saunter off, sipping on his drink slowly. She seemed to be feeling better than last night, zooming around the kitchen, stirring pots and peeking in the oven.
Kurapika couldn’t quite tell what she was making from his position.
“Here!”
She blew on a spoon and offered it to him, that pretty smile on her face. “Tell me if you like it!”
Kurapika stared at the spoon. “What is it?”
She pouted. “It’s a surprise, now open up!”
He hesitantly opened his mouth, allowing her to feed him whatever she’d made.
It was some sort of broth, savory with a hint of sweetness.
“Mmm, it’s good. What is it?”
She quirked an eyebrow at the question, Kurapika quickly giving her a shy smile. “Oh yeah, it’s a surprise. Sorry.”
She bit her lip to hold back a laugh. “You’re awfully cute, you know that?”
“Cute?”
“Mhm.”
She ruffled his hair, giggling. He looked down, cheeks turning a light shade of pink before he pushed her hands away.
She sighed, stretching. “Alright, if you’re staying all I ask is you don’t come into the kitchen.”
“Because of the surprise?”
(Name) nodded, twirling around and heading back into the kitchen.
Unfortunately for her, he hadn’t agreed to not look in the kitchen. Kurapika was a curious man, to a fault. He peeked around a corner to see what she was doing.
(Name) had an apron on, humming softly as she moves around the kitchen. ‘If anyone’s cute, it’s her…’ he thought, watching the woman with soft eyes.
She tried a sip of the broth for herself, smiling. “If Kurapika thinks it tastes good that’s all that matters. But…”
She added a pinch of salt before walking away from the pot.
“Hmm…”
She seemed to be looking over a cookbook, but Kurapika couldn’t see what it was for.
“I don’t think I could even pronounce this… maybe Kurapika could…”
He perked up at this, a little flustered. Was it some long word she was having trouble pronouncing? Did she think he was smart?
Kurapika blushed. It wasn’t often that people recognized his intelligence, a trait he prided himself on.
(Name) tapped a finger against her chin, her eyes narrowing as she stared at the name of the dish. She began to pronounce it, Kurapika’s eyes going wide.
“Oh, I don’t think that’s quite right… I’ll have Kurapika teach me how to say it later.”
He stepped away slowly, feeling his entire body heat up.
‘Those… those words…’
He rushed to his bedroom, holding a hand over his mouth as his face went red.
‘That was the Kurtan language…’
But it was the specific words that had Kurapika so flustered.
“A dish for lovers.”
Kurapika gulped, wrapping his arms around himself. He’d heard of this dish from his mother, although she had seemed a bit flustered when explaining it.
It was a dish that consisted of a vegetable based broth, served with rice, poultry, and vegetables only found in Lukso Province. He’d smelled the dish being made for newlyweds before, but had never eaten it himself.
The newlyweds were to eat the dish after consummating their marriage. It was to be shared between the two, while they celebrated with family.
‘We both… we both…’
If two people consumed the dish together, whether married or not, it was said they would be bound together by fate.
Kurapika thought the legend was silly, but with the knowledge the two of them had shared this dish together, he couldn’t help his heart thumping against his chest painfully.
Part of him wanted to be angry she made the dish without knowing what she was doing, but he could tell she was doing it out of love. This was a surprise meant for Kurapika. Something she’d taken the time to do.
His only question was…
‘How did she get that book?’
————————
Leorio opened the front door, carrying Gon on his back. “(Name), we’re b- oh what are you making? That smells great!”
(Name) walked out of the kitchen, smiling. “Shh, come here Leorio.”
The man glanced at the two boys before following her into the kitchen. She smiled brightly before holding up the cookbook.
“Is that…”
Leorio took it from her hands, running his hand over the paper cover.
“Yep! A Kurtan cookbook! I finally got my hands on one!”
He leafed through the pages of the book, eyes wide. “How did you get it? Didn’t the lead you have a few months ago come up empty?”
She nodded, taking the book back and setting it aside. “Yes, it did, and you won’t believe who got this book for me.”
Kurapika tiptoed near the kitchen. He had heard Leorio walk in, and when he heard (Name) begin talking about the cookbook, he drew closer to hear better. Unfortunately, he didn’t get to her the name of the person that got her the book.
“Him? Wow…”
(Name) nodded. “Yeah, I didn’t get it either. Apparently he found it on a job. He killed a flesh collector, and one of the items they’d collected was a Kurtan Cookbook. It wasn’t something the flesh collector was interested in, so they planned on selling it, but thankfully he killed them before they could. I would have hated for this to end up in a collectors hands. It would be disrespectful to Kurapika.”
Could she be anymore considerate? The blonde held a hand over his chest, looking to the floor. He felt both loved and guilty. She’d done such a sweet, selfless thing for him, and in just a day he’d be leaving her for forever.
“(Name)…” Leorio said softly, putting a hand on his shoulder. “You’re too kind. He’s done nothing to deserve this from you.”
Kurapika flinched, clutching the fabric of his shirt. Leorio wasn’t wrong. What had he done for her that she hadn’t already done for him a hundred times before?
He’d been helping her clean and cook out of guilt, she did this out of love.
“He doesn’t have to do anything. I love him, and I’d do the same for any of you.”
Kurapika walked away, heading back to his room. He couldn’t listen to another word. The blonde plopped down onto his bed, sighing into his pillow.
‘She’s making this so hard for me…’ he thought, tilting his head to stare at the clock above the doorway.
It was around 8:30 pm, meaning she’d spent all day preparing dinner, made specially for him. He blinked lazily, groaning when he heard the door open.
“What?”
“Woah, no need for the attitude dude. I just came to tell you dinner is ready.”
Leorio stood in the doorway, eyebrow raised. “(Name) went through all this trouble for you, so I expect to see you there soon.”
He stood slowly, rubbing his arm. “… I’m coming.”
———————
Kurapika washed his hands before leaving his room, eyes going wide when he saw the dining room.
It was lightly decorated, with a hand written banner saying “Kurapika Going Away Party” hanging from the ceiling.
The table was covered in food, the center being a small vanilla cake with chocolate frosting.
He glanced around the room, seeing all of his friends gathered around.
“This… this is all for me?”
(Name) stepped forward, holding the cookbook in her arms. “Yes, and this is for you as well!”
He felt tears begin to fall down his cheeks, his eyes burning a soft red. (Name)’s face fell, reaching hand up to brush his tears away.
“Do you… do you not like it?”
He shook his head rapidly, leaning into her touch. “No, no it’s perfect, (Name). Thank you.”
He took the book from her arms, opening it. It wasn’t an authentic Kurtan handbook, instead a copy, but he still held it tenderly in his hands.
He leafed through it, smiling at the few recipes he recognized. Kurapika had never been a talented cook, but he had helped his mother cook some of the dishes before. Though, helped may have been an exaggeration, he just stirred the pan and dropped in ingredients she handed him.
He chucked at the memory, looking up to see (Name) smiling warmly. “(Name)?”
“Yes?”
He handed the book back, pushing it to her chest. “I want you to keep this.”
“But-“
He shushed her with a raised hand. “I would not be able to put it to proper use. Keep my clans memory alive, and cook these recipes to your hearts content. You have my blessing.”
He smiled, a real genuine smile. She stared up at him with wide eyes, holding the book to her chest. “I will! I’ll make so many of these that Killua will get sick of it!”
“Hey!”
The group laughed, before sitting down to eat.
————————
Sadly, even though they stayed up later than usually eating and watching movies, they eventually had to sleep, ending their vacation.
The next morning, (Name) was up early again getting the cabin cleaned up and packing the rest of her belongings.
Kurapika was also awake, but for different reasons.
He rubbed his eyes after answering the text, barely keeping himself from nodding off when he heard a notification.
Informant: There has been a change in plans.
Kurapika huffed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He hated when plans changed, especially as suddenly as they had now. He was supposed to be leaving at 4 am Friday, and the informant had texted him only a day before they were supposed to be meeting.
Kurapika: What changes?
Informant: We’ll be meeting Saturday evening, not Friday evening.
Kurapika sighed. It was annoying, but nothing he couldn’t plan ar-
Informant: You will also need to bring a partner with you.
“Fuck.”
That wasn’t as easy to plan around. Kurapika didn’t have many friends or acquaintances in the first place, especially ones that would be able to accompany him on a potentially dangerous mission last minute.
He let out a deep breath. ‘I can’t ask Leorio, he has classes, and Gon is leaving for whale island the same day I am. Melody is in another country. Maybe Killua would go if I asked nicely…’
Kurapika: … is there a reason I’ll need a partner?
Informant: the place we’ll be meeting is a restaurant that serves couples only
‘Well, that rules out Killua.’
He thought about just hiring a random woman to accompany him, but knew it wouldn’t be right to put a woman with no experience in danger.
‘Wait… there is one person…’
Kurapika shook his head. ‘No, no I can’t ask her. I couldn’t put her in danger like that.’
He pushed his hair out of his face, sighing. ‘I guess I’ll have to cance-‘
Another text message appeared, this time a picture.
Informant: to make sure you know I’m legit, here is proof I know the information you need
Kurapika felt his eyes go wide, red seeping into them.
The picture was a pair of the scarlet eyes. It was blurry, obviously taken in a rush. The informant wasn’t lying, he knew where a pair of the eyes were.
Now that Kurapika knew this, he couldn’t give up. His mission always came first, after all.
Even if it would mean he’d have to ask (Name) to accompany him. He didn’t want to, but he didn’t have much of a choice.
Kurapika left his bed and walked out into the living room, spotting (Name) sweeping the floor.
‘I’ll ask her later… she’s busy right now.’
He fixed himself a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal, researching the restaurant the informant had sent him. He tried to find some kind of loophole where he could come alone, with no luck.
He sighed, only looking up when the rest of the group woke up and began packing.
——————
Kurapika waited until they were back at (Name)’s house to ask her.
“Hey, uh, (Name)?”
Leorio had left, and the boys were had left for the creek a few minutes before. They were alone, Kurapika having just sat next to her on the couch.
“Yes?”
He bit his lip, toying with his tabard. “Are you… are you busy this weekend?”
(Name) paused, turning away from the show she’d been watching. “Why do you ask?”
The blonde hesitated. “I… I have a favor to ask of you.”
She tilted her head, giving him her full attention. “Go on.”
He let out a breath. “I… I need you to accompany me on my mission.”
Silence. The two stared at each other, (Name) seeming confused, but curious. “Oh? Why’s that?”
“The informant wants to meet in a restaurant only open to couples, and…”
“And you need someone to serve as your date?”
He looked up, surprised to see a teasing smile on her lips. “… correct. He sent me confirmation today that he does in fact have solid information on the scarlet eyes.”
(Name) nodded slowly, curling a finger to her chin in thought. “While I’m not particularly busy this weekend, I will have to speak ask someone to keep an eye on Killua. Give me a moment.”
She stood, walking a way while pulling out her phone. He waited for her to close the door to the bathroom behind her before he followed. Ever curious, Kurapika wanted to know who she’d be calling.
“(Name)? Did you need something?”
It was Leorio. ‘Of course.’ Kurapika thought, pursing his lips.
“Hey, um… I have a favor to ask.”
“Go on.”
Kurapika raised an eyebrow. “Could you watch Killua this weekend? I um… I have some plans.”
Leorio made a confused sound on the other end. “Plans? You didn’t mention any plans to me when were at the beach.”
“Well, they’re a new development.”
Leorio sighed, and Kurapika could picture him pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Alright, I’ll do it, but tell me your plans.”
(Name) went quiet for a moment, the only noise the sound of her tapping her nails against the sink.
“Well… you know how Kurapika is leaving Friday?”
“Yeah?”
She twiddled her thumbs. “He… he asked if I could accompany him, because he needs someone to act as his date.”
“And you agreed to that!?”
Both (Name) and Kurapika flinched at the incredulous tone of his voice. “It’s a lead on the scarlet eyes, you know how important that is to him.”
“Yeah, more important than all of us apparently… (Name), you remember York New, right? Do you think accompanying him on a mission is good idea after everything he’s said to you? I can understand taking him in, he’s our friend, but this is too m-“
“Leorio.”
The man paused, sighing. “Sorry. I know, nothing is too much when helping friends, whatever. I’m just… I’m just worried he’ll hurt you again.”
(Name) sighed. “I appreciate your concern, but he hasn’t given me any reason to believe he’ll do it again. He’s been on his best behavior.”
“Besides storming out to chase the phantom troupe and not even bothering to call you back.”
This made (Name) pause. Kurapika looked at the floor.
“… I’m going. If I can help him, I want to.”
Leorio groaned, but didn’t protest any further. “Alright, I won’t stop you, but the moment he makes you uncomfortable you call me and I’ll come get you.”
“I will.”
Kurapika walked away at that, looking down at his phone.
‘I’m sorry, but I’ll be taking advantage of your kindness again, (Name). This is the last thing I’ll ask of you.’
—————
Killua grumbled as he helped (Name) carry her suitcase to the train. Kurapika ended up ordering tickets for late Thursday, not wanting to have (Name) wake up so early Friday.
“Can’t believe you’re doing this for that blonde tw-“
(Name) pinched Killua’s cheek. “Oh, hush. It’s only two days, I’ll be back Monday morning.”
Killua pouted, only calming down when (Name) pulled him into a tight hug.
“I’ll miss you too, Killua. I’ll call you when we get there, okay?”
He nodded, burying his face in his shoulder.
Kurapika watched, grabbing (Name)’s suitcase from the white haired boy. Killua looked up, frowning.
“If she gets hurt, I swear to g-“
Kurapika held up a hand. “Her safety will be my top priority.”
“I thought your mission came before everything?”
Kurapika’s mouth hung open slightly at Killua’s words. (Name) looked down, sighing.
“I can take care of myself. Come on, let’s get seated.”
She gave Killua one last squeeze before boarding the train, Kurapika following behind.
“Kurapika.”
The blonde turned back, seeing Killua staring at him, his eyes serious.
“I will never forgive you if you let her get hurt. She’s doing this to help you, never forget that.”
Kurapika stayed quiet for a moment before answering.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
He sat down next to (Name). They were in first class, sitting comfortably.
She sighed, leaning her head against his shoulder. “Ya know, this kind of reminds me of our Hunter Exam days.”
Kurapika leaned his head onto hers. “Yeah…”
The two rode the train in silence, on their way to York New, as (Name) thought back to the Hunter Exam…

Neo x goth! hacker!Reader
Premise: In our second chapter, reader finally meets who's been stealing all her clients, and to her dismay, he's actually really cute. That's going to make disliking him and working with him harder if she can't get her thoughts out of the gutter. Neo, on the other hand is battling his fetishes, playing peeping tom and having a little me time in the shower. Will you two be able to meet each other successfully and start an alliance, or was it doomed from the start?
Tags/CW: loser!neo, perv!neo, don't get me wrong he can still be suave, its just that his thoughts are utterly filthy for what he wants to do to you, obsessive!neo, prematrix/no matrix, y2k mall goth!reader, themes of loneliness, starts to get spicy, masturbation (neo), masturbating where you shouldn't(neo), looking into unknowing girls windows (also neo), age difference(23/35), mutual pining and hiding of said pining, mentions of aggressive oral, hair pulling, somewhat darkfic, dark topics and love likely to be discussed, dom!neo, switch!reader, brat!reader, and any other tags in the first chapter.
A/N: Neo is going to seem so much more confident and scary to reader upon first meeting, but I promise you underneath all that he's a total nerd who still hasn't had a girlfriend, though that does fuel his more aggressive and kinky nature, so still expect him to dom! In the bedroom.
First chapter here. Read part three here. AO3 link here
Words: 5.6k
Neo hates to admit it, but he left your picture up on his computer for the rest of the night. At first, your ghostly pixelated image made him feel strange, to say the least. Accompanying the fact that you were essentially proposing to watch over him, to make sure he didn't leave any back doors open when hacking, Neo began to sleep, images of you as his guardian Angel finding their way into his fleeting thoughts of restless sleep.
When he awoke late the next day, he was sweating once again. The hot Chicago summer was droning on, the early season when it's just deciding to heat up was long gone and replaced with humid, sweltering days. Neo could hardly stand it, and opted for a shower, his body sticking to his clothes as he took them off and tossed them on the bathroom floor.
As the cool water hit his body, he began to think of you again. He imaged your pretty little face, you had to be younger than him, that much was obvious. Your dark hair, pitch black as your clothes and makeup. Under the stream of the shower head, Neo found himself imagining you in ways he would feel guilty about afterwards.
He imagines you, in the shower with him, your hands gently cascading down his body, coming to rest right before his hard cock. You look up at him, your makeup starting to fall from the water, and your lipstick leaving rings on his cock when you start sucking him off. Neo practically groans out from the thought, his hand keeping pace on his own cock while he imagines that it's your mouth inside, soft, wet, and warm. He can only imagine what it would be like for you to encompass his cock with your perfect, cute mouth. Fuck. He can barely keep himself from cumming right now, the idea is so sexy.
What really gets him over the edge is imagining taking your hair in his hands and gripping it enough that you cry out, and when you do he's pumping his cock into your mouth harder than before. His muscles tense in the shower, even just the thought of being so aggressive with you igniting every muscle in his body. He continues to think of you choking in his cock, maybe even pulling you off for air, and you begging for more while your goth makeup is dripping down your cheeks. Oh God…He's going to cum.
Neo finishes in his shower, his husky groans escaping finally, and his back finding the cool tile of the shower wall for support.
"Fuck…" He whispers out to the lonely shower, a bit of clarity coming to him as he realizes with embarrassment just how lonely he has been. That along with this trance you've put him in leave him feeling totally guilty. He's just some 30 year old loser who has a kink of chicks in black makeup, he really should be able to control himself. Meeting you shouldn't have any ulterior motives of lust, but he can't hardly stop himself.
He gets out of the shower and tries to wipe off shame with a fluffy white towel, frustrated that his body doesn't feel any less hot than before but it's not the summer heat that's getting to him anymore. No, it's you. And he has to be able to contain himself tonight when he meets you at the…what was it again? Some goth club from what he researched last night, no surprise there.
God, Neo's afraid he won't be able to help himself from popping a boner when he finally sees you in person. If your profile picture has this much of a hold on him, then he's worried what will happen when he really gets to meet you. Maybe he'll get lucky, and it'll turn out you're actually a total catfish, and some other lonely loser like him. At least then he can laugh in your face and leave. Go back to his typical solitary existence.
A part of him aches at the thought all the while. If it's not what you actually look like, the fact that he just jerked off to you is all the more shameful. And, as much as he doesn't wish to admit, he would be highly disappointed.
Neo finishes up redressing, opening the window to his apartment to let some air in. He looks back out and sees the same little apartment he saw the last intriguing girl in. She's in there now, and from the looks of it, he thinks she's…trying on different clothes? He can barely see what she's wearing from here, but he can definitely tell when her body is bare of anything, becoming all one color besides a splash of dark hair. Just the idea of making out this unknowing neighbor's curves and ass has Neo hard again. He really is a pervert, huh?
He can hardly tear his eyes away, and the only reason he isn't throwing his left hand into his pants again is he knows that he likely won't be able to finish after doing it again so soon. He's almost jealous that he didn't get to sit here, staring out his window at the unsuspecting woman, freely looking at her in such a vulnerable state, pleasuring himself. He has a secret hope that maybe some other time, he'll be able to.
For now, he turns from the window and begins to psyche himself up for meeting you tonight.
✧✧✧
It's late, but it's the time you asked to see Neo. Everything works better under nights mask. You can imagine more. A fairytale can become real under the night sky if told to the right person. You hope you can actually get to work with this Neo guy. You know that your work has been so little lately. so this would really help you out. But you also know that you've dreamed of Neo all this morning, the image of his striking brown eyes drifting through your mind. The worst part was that some of those dreams were less than innocent in nature. The most vivid is seeing his eyes look up at you from between your thighs…
No, you don't need to think of that right now. He's late and could be escorted to your booth any minute. You currently sit in the red velvet lined booth, large dark curtains enclosing it, making it a safe zone for a meeting. You spent a chunk of the afternoon, worrying about what you would wear, dressing and undressing for well over an hour. You finally decided on a sleeveless dress, its top corseted, embellished with fancy black and purple lace. You chose a short black mini skirt to go along with it, and of course one of your favorite pairs of platform chunky heels. You fit in well with the rest of the club goers of Club Hel. You wonder how Neo will feel, seeing you are so much like his dirty little hidden porn folder. That shouldn't matter, this should be a business deal, but it does matter. Somehow, you know in your heart, and your occasionally aching pussy, that you want Neo to want you. It would be so satisfying to know that this nerdy hacker is thirsting after you. Plus it would be less embarrassing that you want him…
Just as you think he's not coming, black manicured nails playing with some drink named after 'bloody' this or that, the heavy curtain is pulled back. The familiar face of one of the usual workers dips in, nodding in another party member.
It's him.
You're breath catches, and you're surprised. He has on a long, black trench coat. Black clothes underneath that you can't see very well. His hair looks darker, actually, it's gelled back you notice. He isn't someone who looks as goth as the rest of the patrons here, but he doesn't stand out either. You're really taken back by how sexy he is, not like the computer dork you thought he would turn out to be.
From the look on his face, he's surprised to see you too. You can see his dark eyes looking over your body, he even pauses on your breasts, which are accentuated by the low cut and tight corset. You can feel heat rising to you cheeks even though you curse yourself internally for it. You open your glossy. black lipsticked mouth to speak, but he beats you to it.
"NightShade, I presume?" His voice is more masculine than you thought it would be. You're stunned for a second by him, , and realize how childish it makes you seem that you're just staring at him. You also realize you never told him your real name, so you begin to blabber it out, before he stops you.
"We better stick to our code names. As you know, I go by Neo." He says and sits across from you at the booth. You feel stupid for blurting half of your real name out like that, and know he's right. It's dangerous to even be meeting in person like this. A tiny voice in your head is disappointed you couldn't be known by him as your true self. Not just an alter ego…
"You're right, I'm sorry. NightShade it is." You say with a nervous nod. Neo is so hard to read. Besides the initial surprise when he first walked in, he now seems as expressionless as a statue. Adding all the more allure to your already dirty mind about him.
"Well, it's good to finally meet you." Neo responds, and for some reason, you get the oddest feeling from the way his eyes look at you. It's as if he's trying to communicate something wordlessly straight to your soul. You can't tell if it's want that fuels it, or something else, but from the way he looked over your body earlier, you wonder if he liked what he saw.
"You as well. Have you thought any more about what I had proposed?" You gently lift your cocktail to your lips, and softly sip the blood red liquid, your lipstick leaving an imprint of your lips. You wonder what your kisses would look like trailing up Neo's pale neck…
"Yes, I have. And as much as it pains me to say it," Neo says with a chuckle, the way he talks and his age advantage over you seems like he's in much more control here than you are. Somehow the idea of him dominating this conversation turns you on, you glance at his large hands on the table, and wonder what those hands would look like on your body, especially around your pretty little throat. You're distracted from what he's saying, he says something stronger in tone and you snap back to those endless seas of black that are his eyes right now.
"I think it would be advantageous for us to work together. It's clearly not safe for me to continue to work alone if I can't keep my own ass covered. I'd like it if you could help with that." Despite Neo's words clearly asking for your help, you didn't feel as if you were the one with any power here. Somehow, you feel like the fly who's wandered into the spider's web. The question now is how far will you dip your little legs into it, dear fly?
"I…would very much like that." You say, your voice feeling small, hoping you're heard over the loud club music downstairs. "I would like to split the profits however…"
You add the last part, taking some great confidence that you only seem to find when you're talking online. Neo laughs a little and you worry he is unimpressed by you worrying about money.
"That will be no issue, I don't mind paying you for your…services…" When he says that last word, those dark eyes trail over your body once more, and you can't help but wonder the implications of what he's saying. "I think we could really start to corner this part of town for black market information…"
Something about Neo's attitude puts a chill up your spine, and a heat between your thighs. You can't help yourself, the thought of going back to your apartment after this, alone once more, is too much for you to bear. You want to be acquainted with Neo, the little voice in your head knows you've tossed the thought of something more around a few times in just this conversation. There's something dangerous about Neo, you can't tell what it is about him, but it makes you want to uncover it, find out what his code is hiding, so to say.
"I have to agree. How do you want to go about this? We can work mainly from our own stations, or…?" You begin, trying to drive your thoughts to stay on topic, work out the kinks of this budding relationship between you two.
"I think that will happen for some of the time, but I'm still going to need to give you physical copies of some of the files, and I don't trust much besides meeting up to exchange those hand to hand." Neo seems to have thought over this enough, he's also very cautious. His reserved, quiet, and dark demeanor is so hard for you to understand. If he was as cool as he seems right now, shouldn't he be able to handle himself? It's interesting to you that he needs help from someone ten years younger like you.
"That…makes sense." You nod along. "Maybe a weekly coffee date is in store…?" You say nonchalantly, not realizing you've used the word 'date'. Neo's eyes light up with something, was that a hint of desperation? It's as if you've looked past this cool exterior of a mask he has on and glimpsed into the want that he's hiding. So it's not just you who feels this pull?
"A date…?" Neo's voice has lost the suaveness from before, now husky with need. You wonder briefly when the last time he has a date was based on this. Is he really, secretly the computer nerd you envisioned him to be? His cold and calculated behavior is slipping.
"Why…?" Your voice comes out slyly, you can't help yourself. "Would you like that?"
You tease him, your brattiness coming out, your dark makeup giving you a more sinister glance his way.
"N-No…" He starts, clearing his throat and glancing away. There's the dork inside of him. "I mean, we should definitely have meetings, yes. I just don't want the wrong idea…"
He says the last sentence softly, almost as if he doesn't want you to hear, or perhaps mention it. But you're suddenly in a mood, the little fly who likes to fight back.
"The wrong idea about what?" You lean over the table with a grin, your breasts pressing out of your top as you do so. Of course, Neo's eyes flash there and he is obviously kicking himself for it. "Has something transpired within you that I don't know about, Neo?"
You can't believe how bold you're being, but the way he's now clearly squirming from your questions makes you feel more in control at the moment.
"Nothing, but an interest in…" Neo drags his eyes away from your chest and continues. "In working together."
You laugh a little, but back off.
"Alright, well. Why don't you inform me on what you're working on now?" You smile, eager to begin working with this fascinating man. You feel more alive than you have in a long time, your suffocating bedroom being much of your world lately. This is exciting, and the pull you feel for Neo is undeniable. You wonder if he feels the same. Maybe you could come up with something mutually beneficial, besides working together.
"Well, currently I have some local gang members who want info from rivals who have been using an online chatroom to communicate." Neo seems relieved to get back to work talk, the stoic, quiet side of him settling back in.
"That's not very smart of the rival gang…" You mention, but nod for him to continue.
"It's not, no. But I think they have a resident coder because the chatrooms are locked up pretty tight. I wonder if any of them are secretly government…but who knows." Neo is being very kind to share this information, he must trust you enough right now to let you in, as well as coming to a commitment to your partnership. You almost bite your lip with glee over that revelation, but stop yourself.
"Interesting, I should probably work alongside you to keep you covered then. If any of them are undercovers, we don't want them noticing us in the process." Neo seems impressed by your words.
"Exactly. You're uh, pretty good at this for your age." He comments, acknowledging your age differences with caution.
"Yeah, I've been doing this for a while, and was taught by some pretty good hackers…" You shrug, as if it's no big deal. You want to be mature for him, even though 23 is plenty old, you feel quite immature half the time, hence your bratty behavior. Neo seems a bit skeptical.
"Sure…well. I hope you can do a good job of watching over me while I do the rest of the hacking. I've never had a…I don't know what to call it, an assistant?" He says trying to find the right word for you.
"Hey! I am not going to be your assistant!" You reject the notion, a bit childish of you despite your previous worry of maturity.
"Alright, alright…" Neo chuckles, raising those big hands in defeat. "What should I say instead? Colleague? Partner? Guardian Angel who looks after me?"
He jokes about the last one, but something inside you kind of likes the ring of that. You laugh along with him, you two are getting comfortable, and you notice he's leaned over the table towards you as well.
"We'll work on that one…" You say, looking into his eyes, his eyes searching yours just the same. The flash of the idea of closing the foot of space between you two and trying those soft looking lips floats by in your mind. You can just imagine what he would look like when you're done, his lips smudged with your lipstick. You can't help but want to mark your territory.
The two of you continue to discuss the details, both of you surprising the other with how much tech knowledge you both possess. Somehow, you feel as if he just gets you, it's so strange. You have felt so lonely this summer, it feels as if a fire has been ignited in you, bringing you back to life, your body buzzing. You don't know if it's the liquor you've had, which hasn't been that much really, but you feel like you could get addicted to Neo's energy. He's just so interesting.
When he asks to walk you home, you don't even think twice.
✧✧✧
The night has brought rain while the two of you were in Club Hel, and Neo's mind is racing. He's absolutely obsessed with you. He couldn't take his eyes off you all night, even though he tried to act aloof and maybe even use his maturity to seem as if he has control over the situation. But the truth is, you could have him wrapped around your finger in no time.
Neo's aware of this, but the lonely loser inside him is so desperate for this connection. He feels as if he needs you. If he loses you, scares you off, that would crush him at this point. If he thought he was in trouble just from seeing your picture, coming in and seeing your real life form has absolutely blown his mind. He has no idea how he scored talking to someone as sexy as you, but knows he can't screw up and show you how much of a nerdy perv he actually is. He's so glad the table hid how hard he was for you, and when you two stand up so he can show you home when you're all done, he keeps his trench coat closed tight.
He quickly helps you into a cab, the rain just beginning, but by the time you're both inside the hot backseat of the cab, you're drenched. God, he can't believe how gorgeous you look with your black hair soaking wet, he watches the city lights glint off your now slippery breasts. He really can't believe you wore something so promiscuous to your first meeting with him.
He wonders if you want him as much as he wants you, but he almost can't let himself believe it. He wouldn't be able to live from another let down like that. He is pretty old to still be a virgin, one of his biggest secrets, and the fact that he's barely talked to girls, let alone never really had a girlfriend doesn't help. He's always felt like such a freak, and the stuff he's into, hobbies like hacking, kinks, or otherwise, have never been something women have been interested in.
But you?
Here you are, this gothic beauty who has the same passion as him. It's too good to be true. He can barely speak to you. He's so wrapped up in his own thoughts and nervous in the cab.
He wishes this were a real date, that taking you home meant he got to follow behind you. His thoughts tumble into going into your bedroom with you, pinning you to the bed, and him finally having his way with you. He's been picturing it all night. He wants you to moan out his name, tell him how much you want him, and take as much of his cock as physically possible.
God, he can't even hardly look at you right now his thoughts are so dirty.
"She probably thinks I'm such a huge freak I can't believe I haven't run her off yet." He finds himself thinking.
Neo wishes he could find a balance between this desperate horniess he feels for you, and being a normal man who has very good intentions with you. He can't help it, he's already lost to the thought of you tied up and willing. He can just picture his hands moving all over your body, tightening the rope where need be. He bets you even want the rope to be black.
"We're almost here…" Your angelic voice whispers to him. He's snapped out of his daydream, and he realizes the two of you are super close to his apartment. For a moment he worries he gave the driver the wrong address, but no, there you are, stepping out and leading him to your apartment.
Neo lets you take his hand, and run through the rain towards your apartment building. It's as if an electrical current is running between where you two meet, hands touching skin to skin, a need so bad that Neo wonders if he can control himself. The urge to pull you to him and smash his lips against yours, uncaring from the rain, is strong enough he has to stop himself. When you two finally get inside the building, you're shivering, your little bit of clothing soaked and not offering much heat.
"Here…" Neo says, taking his trench coat off, the leather allowing most of the water to glide off, the inside dry and warm.
"Oh! Thank you…" Your soft voice says, and Neo feels so good to be able to help you like this. When you turn to go up the stairs, Neo adjusts hIs cock in his pants, now that the trench coats gone, he doesn't want you to see his hardness. He hopes you don't notice.
The two of you walk up the stairs to your apartment, and Neo is almost angry with you that he can see up your skirt, spotting red lacy panties on your ample ass. Fuck. He has to keep it together, but it's so hard to keep his brain from fogging over with lustful thoughts of you. You two haven't even discussed anything romantic, he can't be acting like this, besides how much younger you are, you probably aren't interested, and, and…
Neo doesn't even notice you two are at your apartment before you're opening the door and turning to him. He feels entirely caught off guard by your big, innocent eyes looking up at him.
"Well, would you like to come in and dry off? I have a spare umbrella you can use when you go…?" The way you're speaking and looking at him right now, he could just grab you and push you inside, taking as much of your flesh in his mouth as possible. Besides the fact, that there's no fucking way you really invited him in.
"I-Yeah…I would like that." Neo finds his voice. It would be nice, his hair is soaking wet, now dark and in his face, the gel no longer keeping it as slicked back as he would like. He doesn't like feeling so disheveled, so out of control.
"Good, come in. You can sit on the couch…" You say to him, pointing out the couch and bouncing off the the bathroom to get a towel.
Neo sits as told, and takes in your apartment. It's small, has more rooms than his however, and the decor matches your style, a bit toned down in the living room and kitchen, but has he leans he can see into your bedroom from the couch.
He leans a bit more, and realizes he can see something else too. His cock aches when he notices that he's looking into the bathroom, the door isn't shut fully and he can see your form moving about in there. It looks like you are taking care of yourself first, stripping down from the skimpy goth outfit you had on.
Neo clutches the side of the couch, his breath stuck in his chest as he sees those lacey red panties, and now gets a glimpse of the matching bra as well. He wonders if you put those on on purpose tonight, or if that's how you always dress.
Soon, he knows he absolutely should look away as your back is now bare, your bra slipping down your shoulders, from this angle not revealing anything quite yet. Neo can't help himself, his hand is pressed to his cock over his pants, just tiny bits of well placed pressure exciting him even more. He knows he can't look, this isn't right, he isn't supposed to see this, but god, he could cum in his pants right now if he keeps staring.
You continue to undress, your bare ass now facing Neo, your panties on the floor of the bathroom, you seem to semi kick them towards a pile of clothes. Neo is totally entranced by you, rubbing on himself more and more, getting off on the fact that he shouldn't be looking, the forbidden intrigue becoming an obsession for him. He's so fucked.
He jumps when you begin to turn, and scrambles when you come out of the bathroom and into your bedroom naked. He moves back to his original position on the couch like his life depends on it, his heart beating hard. He tries to adjust to seem nonchalant when you come out, this time sporting a Bauhaus band T-shirt that's way too big for you, along with a pair of black sporty shorts. He isn't sure if this is hotter than seeing you naked to be honest, your hair is still wet, and your make up has been washed off. He feels as if he should only see this version of you if you only allowed him to be that intimate with you.
You toss him a towel and point into the bedroom.
"The bathrooms in there if you need to use it." You say with a smile, coming to sit on the couch yourself now. Neo nods and quickly stands, trying to hide his hot and hard cock. This might be his chance to help himself out, though the guilt of that is already starting as he thinks it.
He goes to the bathroom, and makes sure the door is shut. He can't let you see this. His pants are down before he do anything else. His cock is freed, and the night air sticks to it. Fuck, he's so hard for you.
Neo is stroking himself off in your tiny little bathroom, trying to cover his mouth from heavy breathing. He's so scared you'll hear him or he'll take too much time and be suspicious. Honestly the nerves are making it hard to get off, then he sees something laying on the floor and groans.
He snatches your discarded red panties, not even questioning the morals of pressing them against his face and getting a smell of you. God, you smell so fucking sweet and musky, Neo could scream. He imagines fucking you like no other right now. He wants you against this bathroom counter, looking at your own reflection, watching yourself desperately need his cock.
He thinks about tying your hands behind your back, and pressing your face into the counter as he gets forceful with your tiny body. He's so much bigger than you by comparison, height alone gives him all the advantage he needs over keeping you in place and fuckable. He would easily be able to get what he wants from you.
The smell of your pussy on these panties Is making his head spin, he keeps using his hand, harder and harder, getting to climax thinking about shooting off a load inside of you. He aims for your sink as he finishes, his disgusting actions leaving a mess there. Once again, fuck…
Neo has to just lean against the wall for a moment can catch his breath. This is the second time he's jerked off to thinking of you, he's such a loser. He briefly wonders if he made a mistake, if he goes back out there and by some miracle you actually brought him up here to fuck him, did he just both metaphorically and physically blow it? No, there's no way.
Neo shamefully cleans up after himself. He even makes sure to rinse his hands and the sink with soap, it wouldn't be fair to leave any evidence.
As he finishes up, and actually starts to dry himself off like he was supposed to, he sees the panties where he had set them next to the sink. He doesn't have time to think twice, he has been in here too long, so he swipes them and puts them into his pants pocket as deep as they can go. He hopes you don't notice, my god, does he hope. He composes himself, then finds the confidence to stride back out there and look at you after what he's done.
You're lounging on the couch, flipping through channels on a tiny CRTV. You stop on a late night black and white horror movie. As Neo comes back out, he thinks he sees Bella Lugosi coming for his female victim, and he can't help but chuckle.
"I didn't know you liked the classics." Neo says, your attention turning to him. If he just focuses on teasing you, then maybe he won't have to think about what he just did.
"Of course, Dracula is the best." You say with a smirk, as if he's the dumb one for suggesting anything else. "He's just so powerful and mysterious…"
"Powerful and mysterious, huh?" Neo responds, still standing by the couch, unsure if he's invited to join you.
"Why don't you come sit and see? It's still raining down pretty hard, maybe you should stay until it lets up…?" Neo can't believe his luck, but now he is really worried he came too soon in the bathroom. He slowly sits down next to you.
"Alright, I'll stay for a bit," Neo tries to sound like this isn't his wildest dream right now.
The two of you continue to watch the movie as the rain gets worse outside. And somewhere between that and now, Neo realizes he may have just had that date with you anyways. His typically heavy heart feels like skyrocketing when at some point you move and lay your head into his shoulder.
The small movement shouldn't have him this flustered, but it does. The rain makes whatever perfume you're wearing smell so much better, it smells like vanilla, musk, and fresh cotton mixed with the earthy scent of rain. Neo takes a deep inhale and hopes you don't notice.
There's something about how good your body heat feels that makes Neo's heart swell. The connection you two have is just so strong for him. He feels as if he's been so alone for so long that something as simple as you putting your head on his shoulder is almost too much. He wants this so bad, he can't believe how far he's gotten into his own isolation that he feels this way from something so simple.
He almost wishes he could be at home, with his computers. Not in anyways that takes you for granted, no, of course not that. Just in the sense that computers aren't warm like you, they listen to him, he builds the code and they do what he says. With you, he has no idea what you're thinking right now. In fact, he has no clue as to why you're allowing any of this. It makes him so nervous just to think about what might be going on in your head right now.
Neo will take what you give him in any capacity however, even if it drives him nuts that your into him.
Eventually, the night wanes on, the storm still gently raging and the movie playing out. Somewhere amongst all of that, Neo finds his eyelids getting heavier. His body relaxes as you snuggle closer, and he can tell you are close to sleeping too. He feels like he absolutely should not fall asleep, this is so strange to him, he has never felt this sort of intimacy before. But he somehow feels so safe right now to do so, and it's not like he really has the willpower to deny you.
He lets you snuggle half into his lap, and finds himself falling into a peaceful, dreamless sleep…
