Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasin' pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasin' pavements
Even if it leads nowhere

Chapter 1
The sky suddenly darkened and after a few minutes, raindrops started to fall. Thunders roared overhead and the cold wind started howling. It is already the dismissal of the students and almost all of them got home; sipping soups, resting beside the fire or watching television.
But, a student got caught in the rain. The cold wind and raindrops almost touch him from where he stands alone now. His eyebrows furrowed and a frown is on his lips. His uniform is almost wet and he placed his bag near his chest to protect it from the rainfall.
He doesn't know what he will do just to go home so, he pulled out his phone and looked at it. What? No signal? He complained inside his mind.
What will he do now; he is stuck in the midst of a heavy rainfall. A car stopped infront of the shed he is standing at. Who is this? He asked himself but was answered when its opaque window opened and a familiar person was revealed; smiling at him.
A smile broke unto his lips because of the joy but as usual, he cut his smile out and played irritated although his not again. "You made me wait for the thousandth time…"
"Oh… sorry… Hey! What are you waiting for! Let's go?!" the other said and went out of the car; holding an umbrella to help the blonde to ride. When he reached the shed, he took his bag and pulled him closer into him. "You could catch a cold if you'll stay wet any longer Kura…." He said as they ride his black Chevrolet Corvette Coupe.
When they are inside, he took a towel at the back seat and placed it on Kurapika's shoulders. The blonde took it and wiped his face gently and he was surprised when he found out that the other was still looking at him.
"Hey, just take me home now… I'm tired" he said as he stifles a yawn which appeared too cute. Leorio, the one that fetched him caressed his face then. "Just take a nap…"
"Hey… we're here. Wake up…" He said as he pokes the blonde's nose. It looks like his slumber is deep. I'll just carry him. He said in his mind as he slowly carries the blonde out of the car.
He opened the door and stepped inside. This is a classic apartment but the thing that made it different is its inside. The furniture was well chosen and although it's simple, it is well arranged. The aura inside this place is beautiful and comforting.
It is not his first time to go here of course; so, he went straight to the bedroom and leisurely placed the sleeping blonde on his mattress.
He first take off the blonde's shirt then covered him with the thick sky blue blankets. He doesn't want the other to catch a cold of course and even feel the frigid air.
He doesn't know where Kurapika's closet is so, he slowly shake the other to wake him up. Kurapika slowly opened his eyes then rubbed it with his hands childishly. He looks like a child that only got up from a deep sleep and that made the other sent him a smile.
"Anou… Where are we…?" he asked curiously then sat up leisurely but gracefully. When he realized that he doesn't wear a top; he immediately pulled over the blanket to cover his body then raised an eyebrow at Leorio.
The other was astounded with the looks Kurapika gave at him so he raised his hand in a defensive way then… "No… I didn't do anything! I just took that off for you to avoid cold!" then after that, his expression changed into a mischievous one then spoke up again.
"What's the matter? Why are you covering yourself? I've seen that many times before… Besides, it's just your chest Kura…"
With that statement; Kurapika stood up with the blankets still covering his body and hit Leorio's head. "Baka…" he mumbled indignantly then headed for his closet and took a plain white shirt and wore it.
"There…" he said then a smile broke unto his pale but perfect shaped lips. He took his bag and realized something. "How did you opened the door?!" he asked with surprise shrouded his eyes.
"Do you want me to demonstrate it?"
"Baka?! I'm asking how? Tss…"
Leorio smirked at him then went nearer at the blonde. Kurapika placed his bag down the floor beside his closet then went infront of the brunette and stared plainly back at him. Dead air seems to eat the both of them and the seriousness that takes over them seems to get worse so; Leorio broke it. He doesn't want this kind of atmosphere.
"First, I placed the key in the knob then turned it. Then, the door opened. Yay!" he said childishly that made Kurapika annoyed. A vein popped out of his head then he started to feel like he wants to kick Leorio on the face.
The other noticed it so; he shut his mouth up and just patted the blonde's head to tame him. "Of course, as your boyfriend… I should have a key in 'our' house… *chuckles*"
"Well… I also have the right to know how did you get a key to our… house…?"
The brunette chuckled then leaned over his lover. "I got it the last time I went here… I took it when you're asleep…" then a smirk broke onto his lips.
Kurapika rolled his eyes then crossed his arms slowly. "Give it back." He said as he pulls out his right hand and gesturing for Leorio to give it back.
"No… I won't…"
"Give it…"
"I won't… kiss me first…"
"I won't…"
"Then the key is mine…"
A few seconds after that statement, Leorio felt something warm over his lips that made him flush red. The blonde was about to pull out when Leorio snaked his hands over his body and pulled him closer to him.
The blonde first was shocked but when he felt the heat coming up his cheeks; he ignored the shivers and continued it. They keep on going at what they're doing until it reached a different situation.
Kurapika's POV
I cannot refuse to go along with this stuff. As I look into his eyes, I fall more with his charm. "I love you…" I mumbled dreamily as I kiss him back.
All I know now is it's so cold and everything around us is so dark. The only one clear in my mind and my sight is him… Us…
Maybe I'm scared; I felt my body shiver as our skins touches gently. My inside trembles but I can feel the frigid atmosphere fade with the warmth that we both made. I feel his soft lips over mine as he kisses me; his warm body over mine and I loved this kind of feeling.
I don't care if this is wrong. I don't want anything to stop me from loving him and devoting him every part of me. All I want to have in this world is Him…
I feel safe inside his arms… Safe and Warm indeed and I wanted it. I don't wish this to end… I wanted us to stay like this Forever…
It is the day of their Graduation… The end of the school days and Kurapika is really happy. At last, he can go on with his life and can proceed on what he wants to be.
In the midst of the crowds, his eyes spotted his boyfriend; giving him a smile. A sincere smile. So, that made his nervousness fade and he finally stepped over the stage to go on with his speech.
"To my professors, my fellow graduates, visitors and everyone here; good evening. I am very delighted that this day had come into us. This most awaited day is today…"
He gets on with his speech and after it, everyone clapped but he didn't care about them. His eyes were only fixed at Leorio who looks so happy for him.
The event has ended and both of them settled on a luxurious restaurant as a celebration for this day. The atmosphere of the surroundings is so comfortable. The chandeliers that are hanging overhead suit the place. They are on a table; staring happily at each other.
The champagne on their glass sparkled with the light that seems to dance around them. Leorio started their conversation by greeting Kurapika. The other just bowed as a sign of thanks and smiled at him. "I'm proud of you…" he said as he takes a sip from his champagne.
"Thanks dad…"
Kurapika teased that made Leorio choke out with what he is drinking. Kurapika stood up and rubbed his back in circles. "I'm just kidding…" he said when he saw Leorio glaring at him. "Nah… alright…" the brunette said bitterly.
They are in the middle of their conversation when Kurapika saw someone he doesn't know. He just caught his sight because of the looks that that person is sending at him.
He is sitting alone in a table and giving a seductive stare at the blonde which of course, startled the other. Who the heck is he?! He thought bitterly and became drowned with that question that is flooding his mind.
"Kurapika…"
Who the heck is he?!
"Kura?"
Who is that guy?!
"Kurapika? Are you okay?"
"Huh?" he was snapped out of his thoughts when Leorio finally raised his voice a little bit. The brunette was confused and curious why all of a sudden the other looked serious at what he is looking at.
He was about to look at the place the other is looking at when Kurapika stood up and kissed him just to stop him from what he'll do.
The brunette caressed his angelic face when they pulled out then smiled at him. Kurapika smiled at him first then sat back onto his chair.
Leorio was busy telling him something while the blonde is also busy in glaring the other guy on the table next to them. Leorio noticed it and finally, stopped and looked at the guy his blonde is looking at.
When his sight caught a guy looking back at Kurapika; he turned to the blonde, placed down his glass angrily at the table then sent him a suspicious stare. "Looks like your busy…" he said irritatingly that made the blonde look at him.
Kurapika met his stare and felt a shiver ran to his spine. He was surprised at what he heard the other told him. "Leorio… I'm just…"
"Looks like you're really busy with 'someone' so, I'll go home… Good luck to the both of you…" he said with jealousy in his tone as he stands up and walks away from the blonde.
Kurapika stood from his seat and followed him out of the restaurant. "Hey… what's the problem?" he asked with a worry in his tone.
The other turned to him with a smile on his face. "I don't want to interrupt your staring session so I'll just go…" that statement stunned the blonde. He felt the coldness over his body and that really struck him and felt his eyes started to water. Tears will fall anytime now…
"Leo…rio…" he mumbled as he stares at Leorio while he fades among the crowd. He finally woke up from his senses then followed him; but it's too late. His car was gone as well as him.
He fell on his feet and his eyes widened. Leorio… he is mad at me… This is the first time they had an argument so, Kurapika felt terrible and scared. Because of a random person, they had this first fight in their relationship.
"Leorio… I'm sorry…"
He said as he cries over his phone. He was inside his bedroom, under his blankets and crying badly. He just can't take what is happening anymore. The other answered the phone of course but didn't spoke up. It is as if he is not there.
Maybe it's better if he's really not there instead of this. Listening to how his blonde cries.
"Hey… *sob* why don't you speak? Hey… *sob*"
He heard the other heaved a depressed sigh and that surprised him. He isn't sure what the other will do or what will happen to the both of them and the worst thing that came in his confused mind is… Will we break up? That thought that made him feel disheartened.
Tears slipped in his face again then he felt his chest ache. He can't take it if that will happen; besides, he's his first.
"Will we end up… like… this?"
He asked with his voice trembling. He was beneath his thick blanket but the coldness seems to have a chance to still touch him. He feels his body tremble and he asked childishly again at Leorio who is still quiet. But now, his sobs were worse and he cries more.
"Hey! *sob* will we… end up… like *sob* this?" he asked but then received another sigh.
Kurapika didn't want or even wished what is happening now. He didn't even yearn to see the guy that became the cause of all of this fighting. Because of him, their wonderful and almost perfect relationship will be ruined?
"Why don't you answer me? Please don't leave a query in my mind Leorio! If you don't like what's happening, I don't like it more! I-I *sob* love you… so much!" he said with a tinge of anger in his tone.
His left fist was clenched and his mind seems to shut down. That statement made the other speak at last. "I love you too…" he said seriously over the phone.
That gave a little comfort to the blonde's heart but little is not enough. He cannot even ponder what Leorio does now until that statement was added by another one.
"Sorry if I became shallow-minded… I'm very sorry… I just felt the jealousy for the first time in our relationship. I'm hurt that's why I told you those… I love you but, it's all up to you if you'll still accept me after what I did…" he said sincerely and after that… nothing came from him anymore.
Kurapika took a deep breath then gave a quick answer. "If you really love me, you will also decide. What if I said no and you'll be the one who will be not happy anymore." As he uttered those words, he started to feel like killing himself because what if the other really want to stop this. He really should try to control his mouth sometimes.
"If you'll ask me… I'll say no. I want to be with you Kura…"
"Leorio… I want to continue this too… I'm *sob* sorry!"
The other shushed him and tried to comfort him over his phone but, the blonde still cried so. "Want me to go there?" he asked anxiously but the blonde refused and told him that it's already late.
Leorio agreed then told him for the last time to stop crying or he'll really go there. So, the other stopped a little bit and told him Good night. The other answered back too before hanging the phone up.
Kurapika went out of the blankets and felt that the atmosphere became hot and beads of sweat covered his wonderful face so, he stood up and wiped himself. A minuscule smile broke onto his pale lips.
He was just glad that their relationship didn't end up like that… He really loves him and he knows the other does too.
