"Then why are you blushing? Oh don't tell me you have a crush on her?" Killua teased.
"N-No!"
"Kurapika has a crush on Neon!" said the two boys in a sing-song voice. Kurapika put Neon's food at the try.
"I'll go to her room now".
"And tell her your feelings!" Killua added which made the Prince blush some more.
Impossible…for a Prince like Kurapika to like an ordinary girl. But…very possible. The first time he met her he wanted to know more about her. He was fascinated about her. Then it made a habit for him to escape to the palace and telling his best friend Leorio to keep it as a secret. Because he's excited to see her…again. Over and over again. Kurapika had reached her door as he knocked. "Come in", Neon said. Her voice was like fading away. And that made Kurapika's heart broke into pieces. He came in. And Neon was shock to see him. "Chester?"
"Hi Neon! I, Gon and Killua paid you a visit. Your step mom told us you're not feeling well so we decided to cook for their lunch and dinner. But after lunch Gon and Killua will go home. So I'll be the one to cook for dinner", Kurapika explained as he sat by her. She sat up on her bed.
"You shouldn't worry…too much", Neon said, cheeks flushed.
"Shouldn't worry?!" he put his hand on top of her forehead. "Yeah right to think you have a high fever".
"It's nothing", she said as she shoved his hand away. There was something about his touch.
"If it's nothing then you are down there and not here". He began to feed her. "I hope it's all right with you".
"Its fine", Neon replied as she opened her mouth as Kurapika feed her. "I can do it by myself Chester, thanks anyway", she added as she took the bowl from him.
"Suit yourself", Kurapika said as he hid a smile from his lips.
"It really tastes so delicious!" Kurapika had to chuckle to that. He had bought a napkin as he wiped the corners of her mouth.
"Really? I'm really glad you like it".
"Chester…"she was flushing again. How come a simple touch from him can send shiver to her body and also letting her blush this hard? "Here thank you". And she did finish the food as she gave the bowl back to him. He gave her the glass of water.
"Rest now so that you'll get well", Kurapika advice as Neon return the empty glass.
"Okay then", Neon said as she lied down. Kurapika smiled before he left. One that is reserved only for her. Then went downstairs to check on Gon and Killua.
After Gon, Killua and Kurapika finished washing the dishes Gon and Killua needs to go home. "Are you sure you'll be fine Chester?" Gon asked. Kurapika nods in reply.
"I will be. I'll take care of Neon", Kurapika replied.
"Don't do anything stupid!" Killua warned.
"Ah come on Killua don't be malicious!" Kurapika said as he gave a slight laugh.
"We're leaving! Take care Chester!" Gon said.
"Bye you two and take care", Kurapika also said. Then Alberta and her two daughters came to the kitchen.
"Oh Mother is that Neon's friend?" Bernadette said.
"Yes dear".
"He looks cute and…he looks very familiar", Catherine added.
"Your right about that sister", her elder sister also said.
"Anyways dear can you clean the house? We're going out for a while until night", Alberta favored. Kurapika knew why Killua disliked her too much. She's just bossy.
"Umm…sure Madame. Are you going to eat dinner here?" Kurapika politely asked.
"No we'll eat outside. Thank you…your name again?"
"Chester".
"Thank you Chester. Please take care of my stepdaughter for me".
'I will', Kurapika thought as he nods his head. The three ladies left.
Kurapika cleaned the house. The big house. He sweeps the floor and mops them, dust the things, arranged the things and even scrub the floor. Feeling all tired coz' it will turn night soon he had fallen asleep in the kitchen. That 6:00p.m. Neon went down to check on how Kurapika was doing. But she found him sleeping. Smiling to herself and knowing that her step mom and stepsisters left she cooks for the both of them.
"Chester…wake up", Neon said, softly. Kurapika opened his eyes and saw Neon smiling sweetly at him. "Why did you fall asleep? You we're really tired?" Kurapika stretched his arms.
"A-Actually your step mom favored me to clean the house and it was so tiring", the Prince replied. Coz' in his palace he never do the chores. And he just realized Neon's job was tiresome everyday.
"Sorry about what my step mom did".
"No need. I volunteer to look after you anyway", he said as he smiled. And Neon blushed to that.
"Anyway I cook some food let's eat", she said.
"Okay". Coz' he is very hungry.
After eating they washed the dishes together. And also it's time for Kurapika to go. Neon led him to the door. "Take care okay? And thank you for coming over", Neon began. Kurapika went to her and kissed her cheek. He saw her blushing.
"You take care of yourself Neon. Hell, I was worried about you", Kurapika said instead.
"I…know". Actually she didn't really know…only now.
"Bye…see you again my Princess!" Kurapika kidded as Neon gave a slight laugh. She waved goodbye.
"See you…my Prince". Before she knew it she was shock on what she said.
The next day Kurapika was being called by his Father Alban as he went to the court. "You call me dear Father?"
"Ah yes son! I was wondering…when are you going to marry?" Alban asked. Kurapika blinked his eyes, shocked.
"I…don't know".
"Dear you haven't found the right girl?" his mom, Elizabeth added. He had found already who that girl is. But he just wonders if his parents will accept her.
"Not yet Mother".
"Then how about you'll marry Denise? She is lovely!" the King suggested. Then in came Denise and her Father Benjamin.
"You're Highness!" Denise exclaimed as she went to him and clung at his arm.
"Aw isn't it cute?" the Queen began. But they didn't see their son's irritated reaction towards the girl.
"But Father I have no intentions in marrying yet. I-I'll tell you sooner or later", Kurapika said as he finally free his arm from the tag of Denise.
"Okay son", Alban replied.
"I'll leave now", the Prince replied as he made a small bow then exited the court. Denise was near to tears.
"Am I not beautiful?" Elizabeth went near to the girl.
"You are dear. Wait for that day he'll finally notice you".
"Be patient my dear", Benjamin, Denise's Dad said.
"Okay". Was the girl's reply.
"What? The King and Queen requested you to marry Denise? Eww!" Leorio said. Kurapika told him the news. And he's planning to see Neon again.
"I rather choose Neon over her".
"You really like her don't you?" his best friend asked. Kurapika couldn't help but smile.
"Yeah I'm seeing her again", said the smiling Prince.
"I take it back Kura maybe you don't only like her but LOVE her too", added Leorio. Emphasizing the word love. Kurapika chuckled.
"Maybe. Maybe not. I'm figuring that out". Kurapika was about to exit going through the window when Leorio added something.
"Does she know you're the Prince?" he heard a sigh from his best friend.
"No Leorio. I gave her my made up name which is Chester. But I'll tell the truth soon…even if she'll be angry at me. Later!" then Kurapika left Leorio as Leorio closed the windows.
Kurapika decided to visit her at her house. Concerned if her fever is now gone. He was about to go farther when a voice called. "Hey Chester! Wait up!" The voice was familiar to him as he looked up at the tree. Neon was sitting on the branch smiling and waving at him. "Where are you going?" It took him sometime to swallow his saliva and answer her.
"T-To your house. I was supposed to visit you and check on you", Kurapika replied. Neon was standing on the branch. "N-Neon careful! You'll fall!" She just chuckled.
"I'm fine already! Lucky I found you. My step mom went to go to a party until this night! A-And-Aaahhh!" the branch she was standing break as she falls down. She shut her eyes tight so that she doesn't want to think the pain will be hurtful for her butt. But she couldn't hear a thud. She opened her green eyes as she met sapphire eyes. It was Kurapika…who catch her. She began to blush. It's like her Prince charming is carrying her. He looked at her worriedly.
"You're not hurt…are you?" Kurapika began. She couldn't be hurt. He catches her!
"N-No Chester! T-Thanks!" Neon replied as he placed her down. She cleared her throat and tries her best not to blush. "S-So what now?"
