Kurapika POV

"Where were you?" Leorio asked as I walked inside with Alluka.

I looked up, "Um...Alluka's school."

He nodded slowly like he was disappointed, "Alluka, sweetie why don't you do to your room and watch TV. I need to talk to Kurapika." She looked up, "Did I do something wrong?" He shook his head, "No not at all, the adults just need to talk."

She nodded then skipped off to her room.

I looked at Leorio, "What did you need to talk about?" He stood slowly up and walked over to me, "Why?"

I looked down at my shoes and gulped, "Why what?"

"Why'd you go without me? You know I wanted to go, I saw the papers and I signed them, and your selfish ass didn't wake me up. That makes me look like a terrible parent. I don't want to look like some scumbag dad, I don't. I took today off just so I could go!" Leorio raised his voice on the last sentence, "And you know that or else Lucy would be at daycare. I could have been saving lives today, I could have made a huge difference in the world but I took the day off so I could go hang out with you, Alluka, and her friends, but you didn't wake me up. I got up without even looking at the clock and I took a shower, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, dressed up nice and I was about to leave when I realized that the car was gone and it was one in the afternoon. I didn't even smoke a damn cigarette before I went outside, I was worried the smoke would make me look like a bad guardian. But when I saw the car was gone I smoked a few to let out anger. So why?"

"I'll cook tonight, we can talk about this later." I pushed passed him and into the kitchen so I could start on dinner, I didn't want to talk to him about it, hopefully he'll forget.

"I'm sorry!"

"Sorry my ass!"

"You're overreacting! It isn't a big deal Leorio!"

He slammed his hands against his desk, "Yes it is! What is the reason? I want to know!"

"I don't know!"

"Kurapika I took work off! I could have been there making money so I could provide for you but nooo, I couldn't do that!" I was silent for a minuet or two before Leorio started to yell again, "ANSWER ME GOD DAMN IT!"

"I DIDN'T WANT TO BE EMBARSSED!"

He closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "About what? Because I know it's not because we're both guys. You insult so many homophobes in public that that can't be the reason. So what is it?"

"I-I don't know."

"Yes you do."

"I-I don't..."

"Oh yes you do."

"No I don't Leorio."

"Yes. You. Do."

"No I do-"

He slammed his fist on the desk, "YES YOU DO! I KNOW YOU DO! STOP FUCKING LYING AND ANSWER ME BITCH! YOU ALWAYS DO THIS SHIT WHEN IT COMES TO THE KIDS SCHOOL EVENTS! SO WHY DO YOU FUCKING DO IT?"

"Don't you ever raise your voice at me again."

"Is it because I'm a drug addict?" He yelled as he stood up and walked over to me.

"Get out."

"Because I'm an alcoholic?"

"Get out!"

"ARE YOU AFRAID I MIGHT YELL TOO MUCH?"

"GET THE FUCK OUT! DO NOT RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME! TAKE YOUR STUFF AND LEAVE I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOUR BULLSHIT!" As I finished that sentence I knew I shouldn't have said it especially in that tone. Immediately after the last words came out of my mouth he slapped me. I didn't see it coming and only knew it from the noise and the burning on my face.

I grabbed the side of my face and sighed, "Leave, now. Your stuff will be at the doorstep tomorrow morning. Find an apartment and a divorce lawyer. Come back when you fixed whatever the hell is going on with you."

He looked at me almost as if he was scarred of what he did before he straightened up, "Whatever, I need a drink anyway. Bye."

As soon as I heard the door slam shut I dropped to my knees sobbing loudly. I knew the kids heard our argument, his hand striking my face, and my crying. I didn't want him to leave, but he had to. I love him, I love him so much, and he loves me....or he at least use to.
