Mind The Medicine ~ LeoPika

The door to Leorio's small office swung open.

Without looking up from his measly lunch of a ham and cheese sandwich and apple he called out to the person who had just huffed their way in.

"Sorry bud, nurses office is clllloooosssed for lunch."

A scoff made the bespectacled man look up.

"The nurse is closed? Are you kidding me? How do you still have your job?" Kurapika snickered.

"Maybe the principal thinks I'm hot?" Leorio offered.

"Fat chance," Kurapika dispelled, "Mr. Netero?"

"Who knows? Nevermind that, what can I do for you?" Leorio asked.

Kurapika let out a groan and sunk into one of the chairs usually reserved for sick or injured students. He ran his hands over his face and threw his blonde hair.

"If you can physically restrain me from murdering Chrollo that would be fantastic. I really don't think the kids need to see that kind of bloodbath while their young minds are still developing," he grumbled.

Leorio laughed, a jolly rumble that shook his whole body.

"Covering for Mr. Lucilfer again?"

"Always," Kurapika seethed, "I know he does it on purpose. He knows I don't believe in a god so why the hell would our world religion teacher always request for me to be his sub?! I can't stand that motherf-"

"Hey Gon! Killua! What can I do for you two?" Leorio cut Kurapika off with an overly happy sounding greeting, shooting the angry substitute a sharp split second glare before turning his attention back to the boys.

"Well the thing is-" Gon started.

"He fell out of the tree in the courtyard," Killua interrupted.

"KILLUAAAAAA!!" Gon wailed.

"Wha- How? It's the middle of the day and the only door to the courtyard is right next to my office and I didn't see you go by. The only other way is... Oh my god, did you climb out the window?!"

Gon blushed and let out an awkward chuckle.

Kurapika's eyes went wide, "Gon your classroom this period is on the second floor! What were you thinking?! And why the hell are you here, Killua?"

"We got bored..." Gon said looking down at his shoes.

"Wow, Kurapika, you've memorised his schedule? How sweet of you," Killua jeered.

"You. You're lucky I don't send you right to Netero for cutting class right now," Kurapika threatened.

"Yeah okay, you wouldn't though," Killua stretched his arms over his head, "Because if you did, I'd tell Mr. Lucilfer that it was you that switched the sugar and salt for his beloved morning coffee."

"That was you?!" Leorio bemused.

"Shut up," Kurapika hissed.

Leorio dressed Gon's wounds (all very minor), gave him a bag of ice for his elbow and sent them on their merry way. Hopefully back to class...

But probably not.

"Those kids are gonna be the death of me one of these days," Leorio sighed.

"That's what? The fourth time this week?" Kurapika asked.

Leorio nodded, "And it's only Wednesday."

"You've really got your work cut out for y- HEY! What the hell was that for?" Kurapika shouted, fishing an ice cube out of their shirt as another hit them in the side of the head.
