Kurapika waited patiently after he knocked on your door exactly two times. He tapped his foot on the ground as he stared at his stuffed bag, full of his clothes. He wasn't quite sure what was going to happen from here. But he prayed with all of his heart that Rin wasn't pregnant and couldn't send him any proof of a baby growing in her tummy. He bit his bottom lip and decided to knock on your door again, thinking you might have not heard it.
''Hi,'' you groggily say as you open the door after letting Kurapika wait for a few minutes. You rub your eyes as you yawned, stepping aside and letting Kurapika inside of your home. ''I'm sorry I fell asleep, it's after midnight after all... I usually don't stay up this late.''
Kurapika chuckled as he took off his jacket, hanging it on the coat rack next to the door. He threw his hands in the air, groaning as he stretched his body, trying to let the stress flow out. He suddenly felt you wrap your arms around his body and he smiled, a blush slightly forming on his cheeks. You looked up at him, your smile dropping as you looked at the mark on his neck. You knit your brows together as you let your limbs fall to the side of your body, Kurapika's arms still wrapped around you.
''What's the matter?'' he asks, genuinely not understanding the sudden change. He tilted his head slightly, giving you even more access to look at the love bite on the skin of his neck. You sigh and let your forehead rest against his chest, too tired to get upset.
''It's not what it looks like, Y/N.''
''It's a hickey, obviously.'' You groan and wiggle yourself out of Kurapika's grip, walking to your bedroom with Kurapika following behind. You were already in your pyjama's, well, an oversized T-Shirt counted as pyjama's to you. You let yourself fall into your bed and pull the sheets over your body.
''We didn't make out or do anything. I pushed her away before she could do anything else, don't worry, please?'' he huffed as he took off his clothes, only leaving his boxers on. He got into bed, pulling you closer to his body. ''I believe you,'' you mumble as you close your eyes, starting to relax to the touch of him. He gently let his fingers go through your hair, which you adored.
''Let me take you out on a date tomorrow,'' he whispered into your ear with a raspy voice. You move your hand to his, squeezing it lovingly as you try to turn your body around. Your faces are now only a few inches away, feeling his warm breath hitting your face. You smile as you lean in, kissing him passionately. His hand moved down to your ass and he gripped it roughly. You yelp before pinching his cheek and kiss the tip of his nose. You moved one leg in between his, wanting to be closer to him and feel more of his warmth.
''What do you want to do?'' you ask him as you place one of your hands on his cheeks. You kiss his lips before letting him answer your question. Even though you didn't know what you two were going to do, you were already very excited. He and Rin were not dating anymore, technically. Which put your mind at ease a little, at least you tried.
''I was thinking of ice skating,'' he breathed out, ''since it's snowing outside and there's an ice skating rink close by. It's just a few miles away from here. We can go there on foot and get some hot chocolate on the way.''
''But I'm so bad at ice skating, though!'' you admitted and snuggled your face in the crook of his neck, closing your eyes and tried to fall asleep. It was already late at night and you wanted to have enough energy for ice skating tomorrow. You listened to Kurapika's heartbeat as you felt him wrap his arms around you, having a firm grip on you.
''It's okay,'' he whispered, ''I'll just laugh very hard when you fall.'' Your eyes shot open and looked up at him, smiling as you saw a big grin spread across his face with his eyes closed. You knew that was actually what he was going to do. He'd laugh first and then help you, but you would do the same if he fell.
''Sure, that's fine,'' you giggle as you kiss his skin. ''Kurapika?'' you call out his name as you started to overthink the whole situation again. He hummed, letting you know he has heard you. You kept quiet for a second, swallowing your words.
''What's wrong?'' he asked, kissing the top of your head and you sigh. ''Will we be able to you know... kiss in public?'' you question and Kurapika keeps silent for a second.
''That's such a weird question.''
''How? What if Rin sees us or Hayami? She will tell Rin for sure and Rin will cause a scene.''
''Rin and I aren't together, Y/N. I told her not to contact me until she has proof of her pregnancy. She isn't pregnant, so there's just no way she will ever be able to show me proof. She might try to show me a fake ultrasound, though.''
''She probably will,'' you breathe out and Kurapika chuckles, realising how bizarre Rin actually is. ''Yeah, it won't surprise me,'' he admits and he gently runs his fingers on your back. ''If she does see us, or Hayami, it won't matter. She knows where she stands, I think.''
You didn't say a word as you tried to block out your anxiety, trying to keep calm in his arms. ''You should sleep now, baby,'' Kurapika whispers into your ear and you nod. He wanted to sleep quickly as he didn't want to overthink the situation any further. He pretty much told Rin they are broken up if she can't show proof, right? So, as long as she doesn't have proof, they're not together.
He runs his fingers through his hair as he sighs. He clinches onto you and kisses you one last time before you both slowly start to fall asleep, excited for the date.
