Leopika Teacher AU

{11}

Woah, Kira is updating the story.

The students flooded out of the bus as soon as they reached the waterpark. It was no use in trying to stop them. They did wait for their teachers to get out of the bus too. Just to hear the rules.

"Alright," Kurapika said. "Obviously, we are here. And obviously, you are excited. There are some rules. First, we'll be going to the changing room. You should not leave that area until we're all together.

"Now. It isn't mandatory to stay together but its recommended. If you leave the group you must tell either Mister Paladiknight or me where you are going and you mustn't go too far. We should be able to find you within five minutes. And if you need to go to the bathroom or would like to change, tell us, go, and make your way back. If you change, you should stay with the group. Does everyone understand?"

All the students nodded. Some responded with yes. The teachers smiled. "Alright," Leorio said. "To the changing rooms!"

***

"Nice swimsuit," Leorio commented, looking at Kurapika. He and Kurapika had been the first to change. Now they were standing outside of the changing rooms waiting for the students.

"What's nice about it," Kurapika asked.

Leorio smiled. "It shows your legs," he said. "And your chest."

"And?"

"Nothing. It just makes me think of last night."

Kurapika rolled his eyes. He glanced at Leorio. Yeah, he was hot. Kurapika hadn't really had a chance to closely look at Leorio's torso. He was much more focused on other things.

Leorio was much more fit than Kurapika thought. He must have worked out a bit. Kurapika did too, but it wasn't as noticeable.

"Are you staring at my body, Kurapika," Leorio asked.

Kurapika's face turned red and he turned away. "I wasn't," he lied.

"Ah, I see, you were just admiring me."

"I wasn't."

"It's okay. I'm very attractive."

Kurapika rolled his eyes. "Whatever," he said. "At least I know that in telling the truth."

"Yeah-yeah."

Leorio tapped on his arm. There were a lot of people here. It would be hard to keep all the students together. It would be difficult to avoid people.

"Fuck," Leorio muttered, continued to tap his shoulder.

Kurapika turned to Leorio. "What's wrong," he asked.

Leorio shook his head. "Nothing," he said. "It's fine. I just noticed how difficult it'll be to keep a group together."

"We went over the rules. It'll be fine."

"Mhm."

"You sure that you're alright?"

"Yeah, I am."

It took only a few minutes before all the students were done changing. "Okay," he said. "So we have everyone? Right, okay! For now, we'll be staying in this area. With the pool. We can go to the water slides later. But I promise that we will go to them. Okay, now go have fun."

All the students ran to the pool. Kurapika and Leorio walked steadily behind them. "Are you going to go on any water slides," Leorio asked.

Kurapika shrugged. "I doubt it," he said. "I'd rather just lounge in the pool."

"Wuss."

"I'm not a wuss. Just not a big waterslide fan."

"Mhm. Sounds like a wuss to me."

"Shut up."

Leorio chuckled. "I'm just joking. Come on." He grabbed Kurapika's hand, and they began to walk.

"Shouldn't we stay with the kids," Kurapika sputtered. He tried to pull back, but Leorio had a strong grip.

"They'll be fine," Leorio said. "Waterslides aren't that long." He pulled Kurapika further away from the group.

The two made it to the waterslides in under a minute. Kurapika was still anxious about it (mostly leaving middle schoolers unattended). He still followed Leorio, though it wasn't by choice. He was still being dragged up the stairs by the bigger man.

Then they reached the top. The sound of rushing water overthrew the excited chatter. Everyone had tubes, shared and single. Leorio reached over and grabbed a shared tube sitting against the wall. "How much do you weigh," he asked.

Kurapika was flustered by the question. "Why do you need to know," he asked. "That seems like an inappropriate question."

"Just answer."

"One-thirty. I still don't understand why you care."

Leorio grinned. "Alright," he said. "I'll ride in the back." He pushed Kurapika in front of him.

Kurapika stumbled. As he stood up, he could see the line in front of him. Not many people were there. They were all adults. Kurapika felt his stomach flip as a man went down the slide. The lifeguard leaned over the side, watching him go down. Kurapika counted how long it took. Fifty-two seconds to reach the bottom. Then a couple went down.

"Are you sure about this," Kurapika turned back to Leorio. "I mean—"

"You'll be fine," Leorio said. "Just don't think about it. Think about...Me! Just think about me. I can make you feel better." He grinned and put his free arm around Kurapika's waist.

Kurapika shoved Leorio's hand away. "Don't touch me," he said. "Especially not like that, and especially not in public."

Five minutes later, Leorio and Kurapika made it to the slide. The lifeguard gave them instructions. "Put the tube down," he said. "Lightest in the front. Heavier in the back. I'll tell you when to go down."

The two listened. Kurapika sat in front, and Leorio sat behind him. "Are you ready," Leorio asked.

Kurapika took a deep breath. "Not really," he responded. His hands gripped the sides of the tube. "But I'll ignore it."

"So, you've never been on a waterslide before," Leorio teased. "That isn't v—"

"Go," the lifeguard instructed.

Leorio pushed off the back of the slide. Kurapika's grip tightened. The water pushed the tube down. There were lots of curves on the slide. It almost made Kurapika nauseous. Thank god it was over quickly. Within a matter of seconds, the two men were plunged into the water.

Kurapika scrambled to his feet. He gasped. Behind him, he heard Leorio laugh. He couldn't see him, there was hair in his eyes.

"Are you okay," Leorio's voice was closer. "Come here." He pushed Kurapika's hair back and out of his eyes.

Now Kurapika could see. He could see Leorio's face. He had a handsome smile, one where he smiled with his eyes. He had pretty eyes too. They were hazel and in the sun looked green.

"We need to get out of the water," Leorio said. 

It snapped Kurapika back to reality. He nodded and began to swim towards to stairs. He felt that his face was red. It was the first time he noticed how beautiful Leorio was. He turned. "Let's get back to the kids," he yelled to Leorio. "Before we get fired!"
