TW: Mention of drug use, depression, abuse, and written violence

Kurapika POV

Leorio sighed, "Sunshine, hand it over. It's not yours." I scoffed, "And? You're my fiancé, I should be allowed to see your stuff."

"It's just a medication."

"What for then?"

He sighed heavily and put his hand on his head, "My anxiety, I'm telling the truth so get off the counter and give it back. I need to take my medication or my tics might act up and that's not good if you have to do a surgery or change an IV bag."

I looked at the pill bottle in my hand, "Are you sure you aren't lying to me?"

"Yes, I'm sure babe." He said with a hint of annoyance.

"I think you're lying. Give me proof they're meds or you aren't getting them back."

"Kurapika," he said trying to stay calm, "I really need those. I know you know how important medication is because we both take depression medication!"

I shook my head, "No proof, no pills."

"God damn you. Can't do shit." He grumbled before looking up at me, "Give me my meds Kurapika, I'm not kidding."

"How do I know you aren't lying?"

"You don't but I'm not fucking lying, give me the bottle."

I hopped off the counter and began to walk away, "No. I don't know if you're being truthful and-"

Leorio grabbed my wrist tightly and aggressively pulled me toward him.

"Ow, Leorio let go that hurts!"

"Give me the pills." He growled.

I gripped the bottle tighter, "Please let go of me, please Leorio."

He gripped my wrist tighter, "I need them Kurapika."

"Leorio I'm serious, it really hurts!"

He looked at me for a second or two before grabbing the hand with the pill, he didn't even loosen his grip, "Look, I love you but give me them! They're actually my medication!"

"Leorio! Let go of me! Please! You're hurting me! Stop!"

He only tightened his grip, "Give me the meds. Give them to me god damnit!"

By this point I was crying, not only because of the grip he had on my wrist but because of all his yelling, I didn't like it.

"Leorio please, it hurts!"

His expression changed as if he realized what he was doing.

"Kurapika," he let go of me, "I'm sorry baby. I-I don't know why I did that." He reached out to wipe my tears

I stepped back, "Don't touch me." I slowly held out my hand with the pills, "H-here, take them."

He grabbed the pills and set them on the table, "Kurapika, I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you."

"You didn't let go when I asked you to you bastard."

"I know baby, I don't know what came over me." He said with his voice cracking.

"Whatever it was, don't do it again or I'll leave."

"Kurapika please don't leave me."

"I'm already thinking about it considering what the hell you just did. Imagine if the kids saw that? What would they do then Leorio?"

"I-I don't know."

I wiped my eyes, "What's going on with you? You're acting like, like I don't even know! I have never seen you like this before, it worries me, I'm scared. Leorio, I don't want to be afraid of you."

He nodded, "I know baby, I know."

"Never in my life has anyone ever touched me like that. Do you know what that felt like? It hurts Leorio."

"I know it hurts baby, I know it hurts." He rubbed the back of his neck before he glanced at his arm.

"It hurts."

Leorio looked at my wrist, "Is it bruised?"

I looked at my wrist, "Thankfully not. If it was I would have called the police."

He scoffed, "They won't do shit about it."

"About what? Abuse?"

"I wasn't trying to ab-"

"How do you know they won't help? They definitely will, it's their job."

"They didn't help me." He mumbled.

"What?"

He looked up, "I said that they didn't help me."

I stepped a bit closer to him, "Help you with what?"

"Just something that happened a long time ago, but it's over now so doesn't matter."

"Is it about your dad? Did your dad hurt you?" I asked hesitantly.

He shook his head nervously, "N-no. No, he didn't. I'm going to call off work today, I'll be right back." He walked out of the kitchen and into our bedroom to call off work.

Leorio had a protective arm wrapped around me while his free hand was petting my hair. I wasn't scared anymore just worried. I know he didn't want to hurt me but I don't know why he still did.

"Leorio."

"What is it Sunshine?"

"A-are you lying? Do we need to talk about our conversation earlier? I'm worried." I glanced up at him to see his reaction.

He shook his head again, "No, I-I'm not. And it's nothing to worry about."

I snuggled closer into his chest. I could tell by his reaction that he was lying and I should worry about it. Not lying about the pills but something else:

He was abused.

(A/N: The author aka Leorio_Is_Hot does not see Leorio as abusive)
