!D! PROLONGED YEARNING *ೃ hxh

✧･13: PELLUCIDLY LUMINOUS

[ Second Point of View ]

"O-okay Ms. L/N" was all Meryl could say.

"Before we get into the introduction" they both gazed eyes on you. "we should find a place to converse properly"

"Uhm.. I already put a reservation at XXX restaurant. Is that fine?", the male informed the two.

"Yes! That would be wondrous! Right F/N-nee-san?", your younger sister solicited.

"Absolutely. It would save us more time." Jaiya just smiled it off then offered Meryl to lead the way. You can help but be happy that someone will protect her. Meryl had a reserved yet calming aura about him, and he seems to know a little bit of nen.

"You coming onee?" she inquired you then you proceed to hum in response.

︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

After the interrogation with Meryl, you made your decision that he is harmless to your sister. But you wanted to make sure he can protect her, so you all were in a field to test Meryl.

"F/N-nee-san, why are we here? Isn't the interrogating Meryl thing finished?"

"Almost, just sit at the bench", you pointed to the farthest bench. "right there and wait for us, okay?"

"Okay.. but don't kill him or anything like that!"

"Of course."

He looked at you while sweat rolls down at his cheek. Until he finally noticed the nen forcefield. "What.. is this..?"

"You know nen, hm?"

"Yes.. it seems like you do too... but what is this forcefield thingamabob?"

"This 'thingamabob' is one of my nen abilities. Display Cam!" you shouted as the forcefield finished. "Display Cam, turns my current location, specifically this very field into an illusion. How, you think? Using the application 'En', you should know en by now."

"Wait.. so.. what does Jaiya see at the moment?"

"Us conversing, it'll be like that but a bit more.. action" He gulped, he became more nervous and nervous each second passes, will he die? Will he be dust or still flesh? He contemplates all the possible theories while you snicker at his expression.

"Don't worry, I'll be looking at your strength, stamina, and strategy. So whenever you and Jaiya have something or someone wanting to hurt you both, I can see whether you're able to defend you and my sister."

"Understood?"

"Yes."

"Without further ado, let's start!"

︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

After the test, Meryl was utterly tired and was faced flat on the ground. And you were calculating the percentage of each category. You decided to turn off your Display Cam, to see an impatient Jaiya.

"Why did you both take so long? You both just talked!"

"Not necessarily. But you should check up on Meryl if he's still breathing." and quickly did your sister check Meryl's pulse and feel relieved.

"So.. miss L-".

You cut him off by saying, "F/N. Just call me F/N, you've passed after all."

"I.. did?"

"Yes, I've calculated every step you've made in this short span of time. In short, you passed." He fell to the ground again, muttering his victory words. You chuckled at his behavior meanwhile Jaiya fidgeted and panicked on what to do.

You all heard a ringing noise from Meryl's phone, making him stand up. "I need to take this, pardon me." He excused himself and talked on the phone.

Your sister was looking at her phone, it was getting late. The lights in the street were starting to turn on. Footsteps to break the silence, you both looked up to Meryl. "I'm really sorry.. I have to go to my grandpa's workshop."

"It's alright" you pat his shoulder, "we're done after all. Take care." He then nods and waves. Jaiya retorts Meryl's farewell and you both go home.

You were outside of your home. The moon was covered by the cloudy sky. This point of view made you nostalgic. You realize that the moon kind of resembles you, a beaming light. Although the cloudy sky was just like a facade you put on. What an astonishing analogy.

But it was not only you. You were also thinking of Him. Kurapika is very much alike to the moon in many ways. Mysterious and Beautiful.

At the thought that you believe he was beautiful, you finally made a conclusion. You were indeed in love with him. Although, what difference will it make for him? His life is occupied and planned out. How could you ever make him happy or be something to him? You start overthinking the many possibilities, but nothing seems to match.

You just reminisce the many memories you had with him, the day when you met him at Neon's house. His mission was to get his revenge on the troupe. Far from what your mission was. But something feels glistening. Like you know how to help him now.

But it's at your fingertips, what is it.. you ponder and ponder for many moments until you've got it.

"His brethren's eyes."
