Kurapika POV

"You made a joke about my rape and abuse." Leorio said putting a hand on his chest.

"After you made a joke my parents."

"Okay, well, those are three different things, both can be insanely mentally draining but come on babe, I have PTSD and I was and still kind of am hyper-sexual from those things."

I sighed and shook my head, "Okay fair enough, but I was sobbing in your arms the other night because of it. Leorio, I miss my family a lot. Your parents are still alive plus have two kids, that we know of, that are both with different women."

"Also both from when I was in high school, and one from my stepmom, when I was basically passed out."

"Yeah but still, I don't like thinking about how those kids aren't mine. You only talk to Lillian though, not your son which I also don't like because he's still your kid."

"No because-"

"Okay!" The therapist clicked her pen, "It's great that you two are able to talk to each other about your situation and remain slightly calm."

"Well that's only because we're in public," I said, "if we were at home he would've slapped me by now-"

"Okay? Woah, I wouldn't have-"

"Yes you would, your fits of anger come out of nowhere-"

"The most I've ever hurt you is when you got a minor concussion when I slammed you into a wall." He look at the therapist in panic , "By accident, we were having sex. But point being, I don't hit him...a lot...to the point where it would be abuse. I have punched the wall, the counter, the table, etcetera. I hit him once, but that's because he compared me to my dad, who was an alcoholic and abused me, so that set me off. Oh I also recall hitting him because he once again compared me to my dad, but in a different way. Okay you know this sounds really bad so I'll just shut up."

I looked at the therapist, "Okay, he isn't abusive. I know that much."

"Okay," She smiled, "It's great you guys can talk, and I know I already said that but it's true. The question was 'why are you here' and you went on a bit of a spiral but that's okay."

She wrote something down quickly then looked back up, "So, when did you guys meet?"

"On a boat, heading to the hunter's exam." I replied.

"He insulted me wanting money so then I threatened to kill him which would 'end his bloodline' since he's an orphan. Then we almost fought to death in a category four storm." Leorio shook his head, "Damn. Was that for real the first thing I said to you?"

I nodded? "Yeah, yeah it was."

"Wow. Nineteen year old me was an asshole."

"You still are."

"Thanks, right back at ya Sunshine."

"So you guys have known each other for awhile..." The therapist jotted something down, "What exactly is the background of your relationship? Stuff that happened when you were friends, dating, all the way up to now."

Leorio sat back, "He ignored me for let's say...three years? No two, maybe one. Yeah, probably two actually, you didn't call on my birthday. I called you on yours, but guess who picked up, no one. Nada ni nadie respondió."

"I see you speak Spanish Dr. Paladinknight?" The therapist leaned forward, "I do too, did you learn that in high school or are you from a Spanish speaking country?"

"Es mi idioma nativo, nací en España, pero mis padres eran mexicanos con solo un pequeño patrimonio de español." He replied proudly, "When I studied for medical school I read a shit ton of books all in different languages, Spanish is my first language though, then English."

"Very interesting." She turned to me, "What about you Mr. Paladinknight? Do you speak any other languages."

"Oh...well, um, no." I lied, "I have been studying the Kurta Clan though, and I've been attempting to learn their language."

Leorio chuckled.

"Ah very nice." Our therapist wrote another thing down then looked back up at us, "Well, we've gone over the basics but I do have one more question to ask you two."

"Shoot." Leorio smiled.

"How's your sex life?"

"Oh." Leorio glanced at me, "Probably the only thing in our marriage that isn't fucked. Metaphorically not literally, because technically it is-"

I kicked Leorio in the ankle before responding to our therapist, "It's good, no complaints that aren't personal."

She nodded, "Okay."

Leorio looked at me with a slightly offended look, "Personal." He mouthed as our therapist wrote more things down."

I shrugged.

"Okay." Our therapist looked up at us with a serious look. I grabbed Leorio's hand and inhaled shakily.

Our therapist looked over at the clock, "We're running short on time, and we only have roughly three minutes left so I'm going to end on this. You two have a lot of problems, you even stayed from the day you met how you had issues. But, you guys also seem to bring out the best in each other, honesty is what I noticed most. But another thing I took note of is how both of you are trying to work things out, even though it's difficult with your conflicting childhoods and such. I'm willing to help you solve your issues, though it make take some time. If you guys are up to it, I have an opening next Wednesday at noon."

Leorio and I looked at each other. Leorio shrugged at me and nodded slightly.

I looked back over at our therapist, "That sounds great actually. Thank you."

"Of course, see you two next week." She smiled at us and stood up, soon walking out of the room.

I looked over at Leorio with a smile, "That went surprisingly well!"

He nodded, "It did, didn't it."

Leorio shook his head, "I do have one question though. Why did she leave the room? Isn't that our job, doesn't she have more couples to deal with."

I laughed, "Oh my god Leo, you're ridiculous."
