My soul into yours

Now I see

Kurapika's POV

(TW : Self harm)

When did Leorio call me? One week ago. Only one week? Oh gosh it seemed so long! I felt like it was one month ago. I feel each day as it was an entire week. Anyway, he's been busy with studies so I'm sure he's not stressed about seeing me again. I mean, he's only under pressure because of work. Not because of me.

Duh.

Woops, again? I caught myself wanting his attention. It feels weird, I've never felt that before, but I guess I was very excited to see him again soon. But I still didn't know when though. In fact, Mr Nostrad and his daughter saw how much efforts I put in my work, protecting his precious progeny. Precious, but in which way? We all didn't know if he was really considering her as his daughter or as his money maker. Her nen was... unique. Nobody could understand how she could make her predictions. I saw her once writing down her notebook and I felt as it was another... person, or spirit. But first, it was my job to protect her, and next, I was astonished by her power. I could use specialization nen though but it made me able to use all of the other categories of it. Hers was... yeah, astonishing. That's why I tried so bad to protect her. Seeing how careful I was, the Nostrad told me that I could take some days off, even some weeks, after Miss Neon could get out of the hospital. Or, after the hospital could get out of Miss Neon's hotel room I would have said. Rich privilege. And right now my job was to.. stand. In front of her door. Without my dear friend Melody, geez. I was still feeling guilty. But yet, she was on her room next to Miss Neon. And she was feeling good, as she told me. She didn't want me to use my holy chain on her arms because that was exhausting after all we've been through that night. I was really happy that I could spend my weeks off with Leorio... maybe more that I would expect but well. He was also my dear friend. And I felt even more guilty that I had to leave Melody. Also, nobody else could take their days off, it was only for me... Mr Nostrad and her daughter were about to go home and they didn't plan to move on until some months, so after seeing how exhausted I was, and knowing about my background, they wanted me to relax. Well, they literally saw me break down in tears in front of them while discussing about the eyes of my people... That was their gift to me. I told them that it was fine... hum, and that I didn't need it but they insisted. They told me they were only going to call me to come for brief meetings on which I'll had to escort him, until they start moving for bigger projects, or some other missions that the boss could gave us sometimes. No need for me to stay in the house, they said. I think I may have said "thank you" a billions of times.

Neither Leorio nor me had called each other since that night. I just sent him a text to tell him that I could soon see him because my boss allowed it. And he seemed unready for such a fast response, but I had the feeling that he enjoyed it as much as I do. Also... something was weird when we called each other, the other night. Everytime I thought about it my face turned red as hell. I felt like a tomato. Not the big ones, the cherry ones. Duh.

I've totally forgot about the Troop that I was beating up the ass almost, like, an hour ago before his call. Even about the scarlet eyes. Just when I started hearing his voice. His beautiful voice though. I've never understood why he could have this power over me. I thought that was because I've missed him? But I've also missed Gon and Killua. Even if that moment was embarrassing, it made me forgot all of my problems, all the pain, for some minutes.

A call? Well it should be the team. Or Hisoka. Crap, I need to answer the phone, whoever it is.

- Moshi Moshi? I said quietly

A 2 second blank, barely.

- Pika I miss you.

I felt like the entire world was twisting upside down. The world was crumbling around me, not in peace though, but in silence. Was that... him? Why did I felt like that? That's a quite... nice? Sort of feeling. I couldn't describe how much I felt so relieved just by hearing his voice.
