Shifting For You//Kurapika X Nonbinary Reader ONE-SHOTS

Chapter 27.

The rising sun projected into the dimly lited room, leaving its warm hue. A ray of its beauty had shone on the locks of blonde that had become aureate. Reaching out to the blonde's mane you retract as you see the being stir in their sleep.

Gently, the borders of the boy's eyes had opened slightly. Leaving the color of a lovely grey filled with fatigue. He nuzzled his head into the crease of his pillow avoiding the blinding morning sun. Sighing deeply into the soft fabric he takes a glance at you, who had been perched on their side leaning on their elbow smiling at the boy. 

"What are you looking at." the boy said light-heartedly. 

"Oh, nothing. Nothing at all," you said, as you lowered yourself until you were laying on your side facing the boy. 

Tucking a strand of gold behind his ear and adjusting the locks of his fringes. Wiping the sleepy-seeds off the boy's tired eyes as gently as possible, for him not to be in any discomfort. He's just as astonishing first thing in the morning, stunning. 

Ugh, you're being too touchy, c'mon Y/N give him some space.

With that, you pulled away and sighed closing your weary orbs as well. Grinning slightly you feel the boy's soft gaze on you. This is all you could've wanted. To wake up to the one you hold dear, to be beside them, this is enough of a birthday gift. 

Feeling the bed shift underneath you, you sit up as well. Stretching your limbs to their full extent. Arising from the cloud you make your way to the exit at a slow pace. 

"Is there anything in particular that you want to e- are you okay?"

Cutting yourself off you turn to see a stiff being with his gaze to anything that wasn't you. Waving in front of his face with a puzzled look he just dodges your curious stare. He looked timid and uncomfortable, well that's all you could gather.

Instead of facing you for some time, the boy had just walked past you to the dresser. Slipping out the lower half of his training suit from the dresser and gently handing them to you. Making his way to the door, though before he could leave, he spoke without facing you. 

"I wouldn't want you to die of hypothermia now would I."

With that, he left the room. That left you with tinted cheeks and leaving you immobile. 

Oh, I guess I forgot to buy sweatpants I had to stick with shorts for awhile.

Then upon noticing that your shirt covered the majority of your shorts you facepalm, sighing.

Whispering curses under your breath you slide on the comfy cloth. 

"Fuck, he must've thought I wasn't wearing any pants."

Once done you do a twirl in the pants. No matter how embarrassing that encounter was, these pants were really damn comfy.

Like every other afternoon, you sat bored in the living room awaiting the busy boy to come home. Swinging your legs back and forth as the gentle breeze weaves through them. 

"What should I do to pass the time?"

Upon sitting for a few long minutes you've finally come up with a decent plan. Arising from the dining table you skip to the itty bitty closet. One side held your jackets and some shirts, while the other had Kurapika's extra suit and his other tabards. 

Plucking the blue and gold tabard from the hanger you rush to close the door. Was this idea of yours an invasion of privacy? Not exactly, unless wearing someone else's clothes without their consent is an invasion of privacy. Which, in your book depended on who you'd ask.

Changing completely into the boy's striking tabard, you run to the bathroom mirror to see the fit. And to your surprise wasn't so distasteful while on you. But, Kurapika pulls the look much better than you. Still, you felt giddy and excited. 

It had been much comfier than what the cosplay looks like. Baggy, yes but just by a little. The sleeves draped to your palms in a lazy manner. The best part, it smelt like the sun and moon. For some odd reason, he smells like the sun and the moon, not literally of course but metaphorically. 

What a great birthday,

but you were alone again.

ᴋɴᴏᴄᴋ* ᴋɴᴏᴄᴋ*

"Y/N? I'm bac-"

"...erm"

"..."

"Hi.." you said with a small wave, though internally you wanted to crawl into a hole and die.

"Pfft, well don't you look stunning," he said while covering his mouth to prevent the laughs that were now very noticeable.

"Hey, would you stop that I know I look ridiculous but don't rub it in!"

"I-I'm sorry but I- can't HAHA!"

"Hmph, fine laugh all you want." crossing your arms to the boy that's now practically losing his balance from laughter. 

"Oh Y/N don't be like that, though it is quite ridiculous haha."

"Yes yes, I know, I'll go change now." walking past him you make your way to the bedroom to change. 

Before you could though, the boy grabbed at your sleeve which made you face him. He was smiling and a little red from the past fit of giggles. He then pulled out a letter from his suit's pocket and a white chrysanthemum. 

"I wish you had told me it was your birthday, would've saved me time from using my hunter's license to research it."

Handing you the two items the boy rests his forehead atop your own. Feeling one another's body heat from the small interaction. 

"A white chrysanthemum; loyalty, happiness, and love. You're quite the romantic aren't you Kurapika."

"Oh hardly, to be blunt I had to ask for advice from a colleague."

"Well, I think that's even more romantic and shows your man enough to ask for advice." 

"I suppose, nice to know you are knowledgable about flowers. Otherwise, I would have picked that particular one for nothing." the boy said light-heartedly with a quiet chuckle at the end.

"Don't be silly, I would've loved anything you gave me even if it was just a mug of tea."

"Hm, and it seems to me you're more of the romantic than I."

"Perhaps, why, does that bother you?" you giggled in a playful tone.

"No, not at all."

Lifting his chin towards you, you share a tender and fragile kiss. Lips just about hovering over each other in pressure, like you would when kissing a lady's hand. And yet it stopped the ticking of the clock on the wall, the sound of cars passing the highway, all that was heard was the quiet breathing of the two young lovers. 

"Happy birthday, Y/N."

A/N: Ok, that one made me blush ngl 🙈.
