Roommate Trouble pt2

{CW: f slur part 2 of roommate trouble} Leorio POV

We went grocery shopping, and Kurapika insisted that we buy fresh fruit. I wasn't a huge fan, considering how quickly it would go bad, but he got the better of me.

We spent over a hundred dollars on food today. My anxiety was through the roof while I watched the cashier scan each item. Kurapika pushed forward without much thought. I just followed him out of the store and to the bus stop.

When we finally made it back to the apartment, it was late evening. Kurapika insisted that I relax and take a shower while he unloaded the groceries

Kurapika POV

Leorio left with a smile, and I let my shoulders fall. I was exhausted. I began to put things away, utilizing the left half of the fridge and cupboards.

I turned when I heard someone enter, expecting to see Leorio. It was the roommate Tom. He quietly gathered some things and sat on the table, idly watching me as I continued my work.

After what he'd said to me earlier, I did not want that man looking at me. I did not want him anywhere near me.

"I know we started off on the wrong foot, but now I get why Leorio loves you so much." He said from the table, spinning a fork idly. "But just so you know... he's not the only fag on the floor." Tom's voice made my blood freeze.

"Excuse me?" I turned to glare at him, half of my face hidden in shadow.

"He's a lucky guy, being so in love with you and everything... I'm just sayin, if things don't work out, you can always spend the night in my room." He winked at me, and I rolled my eyes. "I could give you a demo, just to show you what I mean."

"I'm not interested." I pressed my thumb into the corner between my eyebrow and eye. Remember your promise.

"Fifteen minutes. That's all it'll take."

"No thank you, leave me alone." I took out two slices of bread and put them into the toaster. My hands were trembling. I was afraid. No I wasn't. If he attacked me, I could fight him off. Technically that wouldn't be breaking my promise to Leorio.

"Okay, thirty minutes? I can make it last an hour, going round after round." He said seductively.

"Don't make me ask a third time." I looked over and glared at him. "Either shut up or I'll make you regret ever opening your mouth."

"Ooh, you're feisty, no wonder Leorio likes you so much." He stood behind me, hands hovering over my body.

"Last chance before I stab you." My voice was laced with venom, and i eyed the knife block across the counter.

"You wouldn't." He put his hand on my hips, and before he could do anything else, I grabbed a knife and plunged it directly into the space between my arm and abdomen. He'd been expecting me to swing around and aim for the face, and this approach was much faster than he was ready for.

The knife hit him just to the left of his ab muscles, splitting his body open on that seam. It went in a good distance since the blade was so long.

He screamed and backed up, pulling the knife out with the movement. Blood gushed from the wound, and he desperately clamped a hand over it.

"You bitch!"

"I gave you several warnings and ample time to change your mind. This was the consequence you chose." I put the knife in the sink and started the water.

Leorio rushed in with panic written all over his face. "What in hell?"

"He stabbed me!"

I pointed the now clean knife at him. "He was harassing me."
