"Hey, Kurapika?" You asked your boyfriend as you pack your suitcase.

"Yeah?"

"Are you going to be spending Thanksgiving with your friends?" You tried your best not to say family. Since you knew he couldn't and why.

"No."

"Really, why not?"

"Gon and Killua left to Whale Island to visit Gon's aunt. And Leorio left to visit his own family."

"So you have no one to celebrate Thanksgiving with?"

"Yeah." There was silence for a moment.

"Pack you suitcase."

"Huh?"

"You're gonna come with me to see my family."

"Really?"

"Yeah, you are my boyfriend. And you haven't met my parents yet. So you should come along."

"But... What if they don't like me?"

"They will. Your my first friend and boyfriend. They'll have to like you."

"Okay then, guess I'm spending Thanksgiving with you and your family."

"Hey, I was wondering something."

"What is it?"

"Does the Kurta Clan celebrate Thanksgiving?"

"I guess we do, in a way."

"What do you mean?"

"We do have a feast at the end of the harvest."

"I see... I understand."

"Now you need to finish packing."

"Oh, right."

It had almost been a year since you were last home, before you moved out. You were a bit nervous. It wasn't because you left on bad terms. Or because it was a bad home environment. In fact, the only bad thing about it was that there was no privacy. The real reason why you were so nervous was because this is the first time you were bringing a boy home. And you were kinda afraid of what would happen.

You ring the doorbell, since you no longer lived there. The person that answered the door was your mother. "(F/n), welcome home." She said as she gave you a hug. She then noticed Kurapika. "Oh, and who is this?"

"Mom, this is-"

"Honey, come down! (F/n) had brought a boy over! Can you believe it? I never thought I'd see the day."

"Mom." You groan as you blush. Kurapika just laughed. You hear footsteps coming down the stairs, then your father appeared.

"Now this is something I have to see to believe." Said your father then looks at Kurapika. "You look familiar. Have I seen you somewhere kid?" He said to him. Then you remembered the day you met Kurapika. How your father pulled you away from him just because he is a Kurta.

"Nope, you haven't met at all. This is your first time meeting him." You said, hoping he wouldn't remember.

"Okay then, I guess I must be mistaking him for someone else. There are a lot of kids in this area."

Then your brother and sister come into the room. "You're (F/n)'s boyfriend?" Your sister asked Kurapika.

"Yes, I am."

Your siblings grin. "What's your name?" They both asked.

"Kurapika."

"(F/n) and Kurapika, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then there's marriage, then comes walking round a baby carriage. That's not all, that's not all. Here comes the baby playing basketball."

You blush a deep red, and Kurapika starting laughing even more. Then you yell "If you keep doing that the whole time I'll be here, you're going to need new locks!"

You got your old room, and Kurapika got the guess room. Things at home were always like what happened earlier. Since you were so shy, you never had any friends before Kurapika. Your siblings always made fun of you because of that. After the Kurta Clan massacre, you became a Hunter. But that was your secret life. A life you hid from your family. Once you had made a fortune, that was when you moved out. "Your family seems fun." Said Kurapika.

"I can't believe you thought that was funny." You said to him.

"Well aren't all families like that?"

"I wouldn't know."

"What do you mean?"

"My... my family doesn't know that I'm a Hunter and that being one was how I got all my money."

"Why did you not tell them?"

"I didn't want to see how they would react."

"What were you afraid they would react?"

"That we wouldn't believe me. That they would think I was joking around to get attention."

"(F/n), do you really believe that?"

"Yes..."

"Well I don't."

"Huh?"

"Any family... is better than none." That was the last thing Kurapika said before he left the room.

"What... What was that all about?" You asked yourself. "Any family is better than none?" Then it hit you. You suddenly remember the fact that Kurapika has no family, not any more. Your eyes were getting on knowing what you did.

"(F/n), time for Thanksgiving dinner!" Your mother called out.

"Okay, I'm coming down!" You walk down the stairs and sat down at your spot on the table, next to Kurapika. Who had a glam look on his face. Which your brother noticed.

"Wow... Are things not going so well in paradise?" Your brother said. Kurapika glared at him.

"(Your brother), behave yourself. Remember, he is our guest." Said your father. "I'm very sorry about my son, Kurapika. I hope you can forgive him."

"It's alright." Kurapika told your father.

"Okay then." Said you mother. "It's time for us to say what we're thankful for."

"Hang on, before we do that. I have something to tell you all." You say as you stood up.

"Oh, no. You're pregnant!" Your brother said, clearly joking.

"What?! No!"

"I know that. That would never happen."

"Anyway, what was it you were going to say, (F/n)?" Your mother asked.

"Oh, yes!" You said. "What I wanted to tell you is that... I'm... a-a Hunter."

There was silence for a moment, until your sister spoke. "There's no way you could be a Hunter." She said.

"But... I am!"

"You haven't taken the Hunter Exam!"

"I have!"

"When, then?"

"A few years ago."

"Well I don't remember." Your brother said.

"(F/n), explain it in detail." Your father said.

"Okay." You said. "Remember a few years ago when I said I'd be going on a school trip? Well, I lied. I was really taking the Hunter Exam."

"You do know you could have been killed, right?"

"Yeah..."

"But she didn't." Your mother said.

"Huh?"

"(F/n), we're sorry that we never believed in you. I guess... because of how shy you are, we thought we would have to help with everything. And I really hate how I only just figured that out now. I should have seen that you're better than that. When you moved out and that you were still in school."

"Mom..."

"Your mother has a point." Said your father. "I should have seen it, too. And now how you got all that money to pay your rent makes sense."

"Can we say what we're thankful for now?" Your brother asked. "Because I would be very thankful if I get to eat my food."

Your parents laugh at that comment as you sit back down. "Alright, you can now."

"I'm thankful for kittens and rainbows." Your sister says. Of course.

"I'm thankful for... for." You try to say as you blush. "For my family."

"And I'm thankful for (F/n)." Kurapika said as he gave you a kiss on the cheek. I'm also thankful for you, Kurapika
