Prompt: Kurapika gets locked out of the dorm after having an already shitty day. Leorio allows them to open up about it and see what can make them feel better

Spring semester, 1999

Leorio was just coming home after a long day of classes. He looked and felt exhausted. As he trudged up the stairs to his dorm, he could see a familiar blonde sitting by the door. Oh boy, here we go again.

"Locked yourself out again?" He asked the blonde now with a sly smirk on his face.

"Oh, shut up and come up here." They responded sounding irritated. "Someone must've had a bad day." Leorio retorts, now picking up the pace.

Eventually, he reaches the front door and opens it. "After you 'Pika." Kurapika gets up without saying a word and walks in the dorm looking miserable as per usual. "How long have you been out there?" Leorio asks, shutting the door, concerned for his friend. "About an hour." They reply dryly.

"An hour?! You could've called me!" Leorio exclaims. "I did, idiot! Like 15 times! But it went to voicemail every time!" They shot back. "I-" Leorio takes out his phone only to see 15 missed calls and 22 text messages from Kurapika. "Oh-"

Kurapika rolls his eyes and scoffs. "You always do this shit. You always have that damn phone on silent so you don't even answer phone calls."

"Well I'm sorry that I have strict ass teachers who will literally fail me if I don't have it on silent, Kurapika!" Leorio was getting annoyed now pinching the bridge of his nose. "Anyways, who are you to even talk about not answering the phone? You don't even do it!"

"That's different! Like, totally different!" Kurapika crosses his arms, pouting like a child would when they don't get what they want. "It's a habit that I can't really get out of.. it's not my fault." They pause for a moment, looking up at their roommate with a mixture of frustration and annoyance plastered on their face. "Ugh!!" They grip their hair as that frustration turns into sadness, tears welling up in their eyes. He quickly averts his gaze from Leorio to the floor. "I don't even know why I try opening up. It's not like you're gonna listen anyways!!" Tears were falling to the ground now. They were shaking and holding themselves, trying their best to calm down.

Immediately Leorio rushed over to them and placed them on the couch. He rubs on their back gently. "Hey, it's okay." He coos. "You're okay." His hushes were occasionally combined with sniffles and hiccups from Kurapika. He knows that he can't really be touchy with him when he's in that state. Not yet at least. He has to calm down first.

It takes a bit, but after an hour or so, Kurapika has finally built up some of his composure and was coming back to his senses. Leorio had gotten up to make them some tea. Chamomile with 3 cubes of sugar. Just how they like it. (They like it when Leorio makes it bc it's made with love)

Leorio comes back handing them the cup of tea. He had also made a broad assumption that they hadn't eaten anything either so he brought them some biscuits to eat along with it. "Here you go sunshine.." he says as he sits back in the same spot, rubbing their back once more.

"Thank you.." they say with a small smile. Leorio could've sworn he saw a glint of red coming from their eyes but he dismisses it quickly by saying, "you're welcome."

They sit in silence for a while. Nothing but the comforting feeling of Leorio rubbing on Kurapika's back and the sound of the clock ticking."

"So.."

"So..?"

"You wanna talk about it..?"

"About what..?"

"Your day. You wanna talk about it?"

"Yeah.. I think I will."

Kurapika sets the tea down and leans their head on Leorio's shoulder and began to talk.

Leorio listened intently, making sure to catch some key points like how they weren't doing good mentally and how college itself was getting stressful for them to handle. They were spiraling into a deep depression once more and they honestly didn't know what to do.

"Take a mental break." He says.

Kurapika giggles a bit. "If only it were that easy..."

"I'm sure they would understand, sunshine. And plus stress isn't good for your migraines. You told me they've been getting worse lately. It's a health issue. Mentally and physically. I'm prescribing you as your own personal (almost) doctor, that you take a break for one week. If there's anything that you need help with, I'm here for you." Leorio smiles, eyes sparkling with determination and love for his roommate.

Kurapika cries again.

"Oh no! Pika!! Are you okay?! Did I make you upset?!"

"No, dummy!" He says with laughter in his voice. "I'm okay, thank you.." he hugs Leorio softly. Leorio blushes and hugs back, kissing Kurapika's cheek.

"You're welcome."
