Sorry that it's late since Kurapika's birthday was yesterday XP this I my first time writing a Kurapika based fanfic so it might come out bad. So, here we go and hope it's not horrible! P.S this will be a failed attempt of Kurapika POV
Disclaimer: I own nothing but this story and my OC
Getting a strange break from Light Nostradre was strange. Getting a phone call roght after from Yukiko was even stranger. The brown haired girl I hadn't seen in sometime, called me up to go out in town if I was free. Curious, I had to ask why, knowing Killua would never let it happen. Her reply was strange but made sense no matter. Killua and Gon had ditched her to have some fun doing "guy stuff", whatever that was. So, now I was waiting for Yukiko at the town square of Yorknew City.
"Kurapika!" I heardd a familiar shout. Turning my head to behind me, I saw her. Yukiko's hair was placed in a high ponytail, tied with the familiar purple ribbon she never let go of. She ditched her black cloak, probably not wanting to be centre of attention and had a pair of purple and black striped gloves covering a third of each finger. Her black bag she had through the Hunter Exam months ago was thrown over her shoulder and across her body. I turned around fully as she came to a stop, huffing.
"Sorry. I had some last minute stuff to do. Did I make you wait?" She asked through soft pants. I let out a small smile.
"No. I was only here for a few minutes." I replied simply. Yukiko beamed and we were went off, walking through the shopping district.
"How's life?" She asked casually as she turned her head to look around at the passing stores. I'm glad she's not like Neon from the shopping experiences I've heard from Melody and Basho.
"Fine. How have you been?" I questioned back as the girl swung her arms back and forth childishly.
"Great. The guys and I have been doing a lot of stuff." Was her reply.
"What are those guys doing?"She turned her head to look at some sweets and stopped too look. I trailed after her.
"Something random probably. But who cares about them, I get to hang out with the awesome Kurapika!" Yukiko exclaimed, casting me a wide grin while I gave her a blank look but the corner of my lips twitched to a smile. "Did you eat yet? Because I kinda want to buy something sweet." I shook my head.
"No, I haven't. Let's go grab a bite somewhere after you buy what you want." The girl's smile grew as she literally threw herself to the door and into the store, giddily looking at all the chocolates. I let out a sigh at her reactions. This is going to be one long day.
We had been out for hours by now, after stopping at a small restaurant to eat we went to almost every store just to look at the interesting stuff in there. The two of us were currently in a bookstore, Yukiko disappearing to who knows where. I skimmed the shelves, eyeing the books as I walked past. A simple red book caught my attention, making me freeze and take it out of its spot. Turning the book around, i looked over the summery. An evil prince engaged to a beautiful princess, but the princess knows about it and runs away. The prince take the crown and of course goes after her, and instead of those stories that look for another male character to save the day, the princess herself learns how to fight, gains allies and goes face the prince. Interesting... I thought. But I didn't have time for books, not anymore. Suddenly, Yukiko popped out of no where, smiling mischievously as she saw me tense. She got better at Zetsu.
"You done?" The girl asked, rocking on the balls of her feet. I nodded my head once before returning the book at its rightful place. I walked on and I heard Yukiko's footsteps follow after a moment. When we reach ed the door, she yelped.
"Oh wait! I think I forgot something. Stay here, I'll be right back." And he rushed back into the store, leaving me alone. I waited a few minutes, staring out at the sub that started to dip under the horizon. Yukiko came back, a gentle smile on her lips.
"Sorry." She apologized, rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly.
"It's getting late. Have Gon and Killua contacted you yet?" I asked her. She gave me a blank look before her eyes went wide. I raised an eyebrow at the reaction as she fished out her phone typed something out. She waited a moment before shoving the phone back in her bag.
"Nope. Is it ok if I go to your apartment for now? I think Killua stole my keys or something." She muttered something along the lines of 'that idiot'. I nodded my head.
"Of course. Let's go get a cab."
We were standing at the doorway of my apartment as I took out my keys and unlocked the door. It's been a while since I last heard the comforting click of returning to my living quarters. Opening the door wide, I stared into the dark, empty space. My hand moved for the light switch but they turned on before I reached them. Three loud pop sounds erupted from the room, raining paper confetti.
"Happy Birthday!" My mouth hanged slight in surprise as Leorio, Gon and Killua grinned at me happily. A large banner hung from the ceiling which read 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY KURAPIKA!' It was rare of me to lose my composure, but my head snapped back between the three males in front of me to the girl at my side. She wasn't there. There was laughter which made my head turn back to the front. Yukiko was standing there, a tray in her hands with a chocolate cake on top with the same words of the banner in beat cursive.
"You were so shocked Kurapika! I even slipped past you and I was at your side." The brown haired girl said as she grinned victoriously. I shut my still slightly opened mouth.
"How did you guys...?" I trailed off, finding it hard to chose my words.
"We've been here since this afternoon!" Gon exclaimed as he jumped up and down excitedly, party popper still in hand.
"It took a long time to get everything done and ready." Leorio stated, wiping a bead of sweat from his temple.
"I'm surprised Yukiko kept you occupied for so long." Killua added in, giving a teasing smirk to the girl who huffed.
"Lucky for you. Kurapika probably didn't even remember it was his Birthday." She gave me a glance, knowing she was right. "I didn't think I could do it after making the cake." She said in an annoyed tone.
"You made the cake?" I asked her in disbelief. She gave me a blank, simple nod in return.
"Yeah, but I'm no good at this. It took me at least 10 tries." Yukiko told me with a shrug of her shoulders, careful not to drop the cake she worked so hard on.
"14 tries to be exact." The white haired boy teased. Which earned him a kick in the shin.
"Oh shut up." I let out a tired sigh, running a hand through my hair as the corner of my lips turned upwards slightly in amusement.
"Anyhow, let's celebrate! It's Kurapika's birthday!" Leorio shouted, getting a synced 'Yeah' from the three younger ones. Gon grabbed my hand, dragging me into the the dinning room as Yukiko set the cake down. Killua returned with a candle and a lighter while the green haired boy forced me to sit in front of the large dessert. Killua plopped the candle down an lit it up as Leorio killed the lights. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Yukiko flinch but beam as she plopped something shining down on the table, but it was hard to tell what it was in the dark. They all began to sing.
"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy birthday Kurapika. Happy birthday to you." Gon leaned in to my ear right after.
"You're supposed to make a wish and blow out the candle." The boy whispered. I inwardly rolled my eyes at the childishness, blowing the single candle out with ease. They all cheered and applauded as someone flicked the light back on. Yukiko cut the cake in five even pieces, handing them out to each of us. We chattered happily, laughing at jokes and listening to story to story. As soon as it got late, did they leave. I walked through the dining room, prepared for bed when something caught my eye. Turning my head, I looked at the table and seeing a rectangle wrapped in shimmering paper. I walked up to it, swooping the object into my arms. I unwrapped the present easily, finding a familiar red book. Attached was a small letter.
"Happy Birthday Kurapika! I saw you looking at this in the book store and I hope you take some time to read it! Don't stress yourself! -Yukiko." A smile graced my lips as I brought the book with me to bed. Opening the book I read the first line and couldn't help but smile as I read it out loud.
"I have good friends."
