"Finally!" Leorio cried as he went to open the knocking door. "I'm so hungry!" He opened the door to welcome his two much awaited friends. "What took you so long!? I could have starved to death!"
"Gomen ne, Leorio. We were just… walking around. Here, we bought you burgers!" Gon said sheepishly handing over the food. His eyes were still stealing glances at Kurapika.
Killua who just joined them, noticed some changes between them. Killua was good at reading people's minds and Gon was a complete oblivious fool. He had noticed Gon's behavior around Kurapika long time ago. He had just decided to wait until Gon himself tells him.
Killua had seen Gon behaving giddily around Kurapika so lately, but today Gon was looking different. Killua was sure Gon must have confessed to Kurapika and from the smile on his face, he could say Gon probably had a positive response.
'Wait. Positive response? Is that even possible…?! That means Kurapika…?!" He was in middle of his train of thoughts when Kurapika waved a hand in front of his face.
"Killua, Killua? You there?" Kurapika said waving a hand.
"Huh? Oh yea… what is it?" Killua asked snapping back from his thoughts.
"You wanted candies, right? Here." Kurapika handed over a plastic bag full of candies. Killua took the bag and looked through it.
"Ha? So few! Are you kidding me?" Killua complained. Bag had lots of candies but it was probably not enough for Killua.
"Calm down. It's not good to eat so many candies. And besides, we also bought some desserts too." Kurapika said in his usual calm tone.
"Desserts?" In instance cat ears popped up on Killua's head. "Nyah, is there something special going on that you decided to buy desserts? I didn't know you liked sweets as well…" He said in teasing tone, getting near Kurapika playfully.
'This kid…! He had noticed something for sure…!' Kurapika thought to himself. Closing his eyes, Kurapika continued pretending. "No, nothing's special. It's probably your influence that even I want to eat sweets."
"Sou ka?" Killua said still talking with neko face.
"Hai. Sou da." Kurapika said.
Killua was about to say more but an arm around his neck tackled him down. It was Gon greeting him with a knock down. "Missed me, Killua?" Gon said sitting top of Killua.
On the response, Killua twisted his leg and pulled him down toppling him. "Nope. I missed my sweets." Both teens continued their wrestling and Kurapika took his chance to escape.
"They still have same energy as before…" Leorio who was standing nearby, munching on his burger, said.
Kurapika smiled contently and replied. "Yeah, They do." Both of them watched both boys wrestling for few moments
"So, what's for dinner?" Leorio asked.
"What? You still want dinner after that burger?" Kurapika replied.
"Are you kidding? It's just a burger! I can't be filled with a measly little burger!" As Leorio was talking, Kurapika had a disapproving look on his face. "What? I'm a man and I do have appetite like that! And besides do you really think those two will as well?"
Leorio pointed thumb at both younger boys. Kurapika glanced at them and sighed. "Fine, it's my turn to cook, but I'm only going to make curry rice, got it? I'm tired today…" Kurapika headed towards the kitchen.
"Yea, staying with Gon surely requires a lot of energy, doesn't it?" Don't you think he stays with you more than ever before?" Leorio had noticed some things as well. He wasn't blind, things were too clear to be noticed. He just never had thoughts like Killua. He simply had a curious look on his face.
"I-I guess so…" Kurapika decided play dumb.
"I wonder why is he so much attached to you now… don't tell me!"As Leorio said it, Kurapika's heart skipped a beat.
Both he and Gon had decided to hide their relationship from the other two. There were some reasons for that as well. First of all, they themselves weren't sure about what kind of relationship they had. Second, they didn't know HOW their other friends are going to react. And third and most importantly was, they wanted to keep it as their own little secret.
Kurapika continued playing dumb, "What, Leorio?"
"Don't tell me, he is developing feelings for you!"
Kurapika was facing his back towards Leorio, so Leorio couldn't see his expressions change, Kurapika had his eyes widen in shock.
He gulped and turned to face Leorio with a deadpan look, "Huh?" he uttered.
"Don't tell me he thinks of you like a sister now! A little sister he wants to take care of!"
Kurapika had a what-the-heck look on his face, while on the other hand, Leorio burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, look at it, you even have characteristics of it! You're now shortest among all of us now! Hahaha!" Leorio continued his laughing trip.
Kurapika's expressions changed into dark ones, his eyebrow was twitching and a murderous aura started flowing around him.
Leorio stopped in his tracks looking at Kurapika's face and started finding ways to escape. But that was too late…
….
Leorio was sitting in living room, surfing random channels, with a swollen face.
"What're you staring at?" He scolded Gon and Killua who were sitting next to him, staring at his swollen face.
"Uh… nande mo nai.." Gon said with swear drop.
"Hai, nande mo nai… daddy beaten up by mommy…" Killua said snickering under his breath.
A vain popped up on Leorio's head, but he decided to keep his calm.
…
For dinner, Kurapika cooked curry rice. Kurapika wasn't great cook; but he was surly better than other three.
Kurapika had mastered few simple dished where no one was match for him, he was excellent at few things like curry rice or omurice.
They had dinner like always and of course much to Killua's delight, they had strawberry shortcakes for desserts.
The house they were staying in, had only two rooms. Gon and Killua were sharing one while Kurapika and Leorio were sharing another.
After dinner, Leorio went to sleep; he was too tired for studying today. Gon and Killua were in their room, chatting and then falling asleep. Kurapika was sitting downstairs, reading a book.
"Kurapika? You still awake?" Kurapika startled a bit but then he turned towards the sound. It was Gon who was walking down the stairs, rubbing his eyes.
"Oh, it's you Gon… Yea, I'm reading."
"Again? You're really making me hate books now." Gon took a glass of water & sat besides Kurapika.
Kurapika simply giggled on response and silence fell between them. Both of them just stared into each other's eyes.
Moonlight reflecting from Kurapika's face made him look like an angel. Those big blue eyes of him; were even more beautiful than the legendary Kurta's Scarlet Eyes. Gon was mesmerized.
Both of them were staring into each other's eyes as if they were doing all the talk through their eyes.
"Go sleep, Gon… tomorrow you've plans, right?" Kurapika said as he flashed a smile.
Gon was confused for brief moment, and then he realized what Kurapika was talking about. He grinned wide then stood up.
"Hai, we promised, right? Kurapika you'll see, I'm going to make sure it'll be best you'll ever have Kurapika!" Gon said cheerfully.
Kurapika instantly blushed and turned pink; he stared at Gon for a while then let out a cute smile. "Hai, I'll be looking forward to it, ne." He closed his closed his eyes in smile.
Kurapika was smiling, Gon took that instant opportunity to plant a sweet lingering kiss, he rested a hand on the sofa's back and the other on Kurapika's cheek and kissed Kurapika lovingly.
Kurapika at first was too stunned; he was still not used to these things, but then he kissed Gon back with equal sweetness and passion.
They kissed for few seconds then Gon started pushing Kurapika backwards, Kurapika decided to stop and pushed Gon away.
"Gon, go to sleep." It was Kurapika's indirect order.
Gon pouted childishly but then smiled again and got up. Before leaving, he turned towards Kurapika.
"Be ready at 11 am!" He gave a naughty wink and went to his room.
…
Next morning, Kurapika woke up rather late. He was reading all night, which made him tired. Lying on bed, Kurapika sought for his cell phone.
When he found his phone, he saw a note stuck on its screen. There was a message written on it saying,
'Ohayou, Kurapika! Hurry up, get up and get ready! You have got a date today!
I've made you breakfast, hurry up for it! Gomen ne, I'm not a good cook but I did my best!
Hope you like it!
- Love you Kurapika! '
Kurapika smiled gently at the note as if he could see Gon's smiling face in it.
He got up and freshened up himself, got ready and went down stairs. No one was at home.
Leorio was outside; probably at the library. He was on his last year, it was necessary for him to study even on vacations. He usually leaves for library in early mornings these days.
Only Killua was at home, playing with his PSP while lying on the couch. He simply greeted "Yo," at Kurapika when he noticed him.
Kurapika greeted back and headed towards kitchen. He saw a covered plate on kitchen countertop. When he uncovered the plate, there was again a note saying, 'Enjoy!'
There was a simple breakfast arranged nicely and cutely in it. There were some toasted sandwiches cut in triangular shape, some cherry tomatoes and lettuce and boiled heart shape eggs cut in half.
It was a perfect breakfast for Kurapika. He took it and sat on table, while eating; he looked at Killua. "Na, Killua where's Gon?" He asked.
"Huh? I don't know. He made breakfast for us earlier and then went outside. When I asked him, he gave me a wink and playful 'hi~mi~tsu~', Darn that jerk, where did he learned that from?!" He answered or rather complained, without looking away from screen.
Kurapika sweat dropped nervously at Killua. He finished his food and washed dishes. He checked the time, it was almost 11 am.
He quickly went to his room and fixed himself, grabbed wallet and phone; and paced towards the door.
As he was walking downstairs, he met Killua who was heading upwards. Before he could reach down, Killua said something,
"Na, Leorio told me about something, something that he saw... You see, when you're going to show that you're a homosexual, do it in private. Not somewhere someone could see you doing 'things'."
Kurapika's jaw nearly dropped to the floor, he immediately decided to ask Killua who was now almost at the end of stairs.
"W-w-w-what? Y-you? And Leorio, he saw?!" He could only stutter out due to utter shock.
"Yes, he did." Kurapika's heart pounded more as Killua said. He continued, "We told this to Gon as well… You guys are morons…" And with that he went to his room.
Even after Killua left, Kurapika stared him for a while. Then a smile formed up on his face.
Kurapika knew Killua very well, it was his way of saying both he and Leorio know everything and support it.
A little blush crept on his face. Covering his face, he headed out again.
