Bahh I'm only uploading this here because I don't like having an account barren. :/


There's a flash of red hooded beneath two eyelids, and Leorio is pretty sure he's about to get hit.

Red. Kurapika was angry, and since there was no one else around-no one else currently kissing the only Kurata in existence-that meant that Kurapika was angry with Leorio. He wonders if perhaps he was moving too fast for the Kurata, and so Leorio begins to panic.

Swallowing back a yelp, he releases his hold on Kurapika's hips and throws his hands up in a defensive manner. Glowing red eyes stare back at him incredulously. Leorio has come to associate the Kurata's red eyes with fury and violence, but it's very rare that Kurapika's rage is focused on him, no matter how much the two annoyed each other at times. Leorio leans back with his hands still up in hopes of pacifying Kurapika.

This doesn't work because Kurapika looks even more upset now, panting with an open-mouthed grimace. His cheeks are still flushed, making his eyes stand out in the dark even more than usual.

"Wh-what's wrong…?" Kurapika manages gasp out. Leorio just shakes his head.

"I should be the one asking you that," he mumbles in retort. Leorio's mouth twists uncomfortably as he frowns and shifts to move away further, propping a hand against the floor for support. Kurapika doesn't move from where he straddling Leorio's waist and is practically vibrating, unbearably hot where their two bodies touching. The Kurata blinks in confusion.

Kurapika opens his mouth to say something before snapping it shut as realization dawns on him. He moves a quivering hand up to his eyes while Leorio watches him cautiously.

"Are they-?"

"Yeah. Um. I-Look, I'm really sorry if I made you mad, and we can stop if you want to, I-I just would really appreciate if you would punch me or something because I honestly didn't mean to piss you off-" Leorio's ramblings were cut off by a long, embarrassed groan. Kurapika's face had gone completely red from blush and he covers his eyes shamefully.

"I-I'm not mad, you dolt," Kurapika bites out, letting his head sink down. Leorio stares at him, letting this information sink in. If Kurapika wasn't angry, then why were his eyes now glowing the signature red of a furious Kurata? Wait. Leorio thinks back to the first time Kurapika had explained his clan's unique eyes and remembers that Kurapika didn't say that his eyes only turned red when he was angry. Just…excited.

"Oh." Leorio scratched his neck. Kurapika's head was down and he was fidgeting up a storm right there on Leorio's lap. It was amusing and adorable the same time and Leorio felt a rush of affection for Kurapika as he moved forward to cup the boy's face in his hands.

"Don't-"Kurapika began, but Leorio ignored him and brushed aside the Kurata's hands. Kurapika's eyes were still a bright red and he averted his gaze. The blond tried to scowl, but the effect was lost in his flushed face and furrowed eyebrows. Kurapika glanced back to see Leorio staring back at him and so he closed his eyes tightly, as if trying to will Leorio away by sheer willpower.

Leorio decided not to say anything. Saying something stupid might cause Kurapika to actually get angry, and that wasn't the mood Leorio was trying to go for here. So instead he leaned into the blond and dropped a kiss onto both of Kurapika's eyelids.

Kurapika almost instantly relaxed and sighed into the kisses. Red eyes opened slowly and he graced Leorio with a small, shy smile.

By the end of the night, Leorio was considerably less guarded around red eyes.
