Not so different (Kurapika x Chrollo)

2: library

(hello, so before this chapter begins I want to say happy holidays and I'll try to post as much as possible!! Now enjoy the chapter!!)

Chrollo POV:

I told my little 'captive' to behave before leaving just to tease him a bit. I walked into my room and breathed deeply. I slid my coat from my shoulders and plopped it onto a chain in front of a standing mirror. I looked at myself in it for way to long before moving to the bed. My room had more of a 'kings' feel to it- lots of reds, blacks, and gold colours. I laid on the bed forgetting to change, but once I was down I was down.

The morning came quickly, my body with stiff with sleep. I took a long stretch before changing into some lose pants and left my shirt the same. The first two buttons unbuttoned. I looked to the side after ignoring the slight presence of another in my room. I had woken up at the sound of my door opening awhile earlier to find Kurapika mumbling incoherently. I allowed my eyes to scan over him as a slight smile crossed my face. I left the room leaving him alone, the door slightly open.

Walking into the kitchen I grabbed out two glasses and filled them with water. I brought them into the bedroom and left one next to Kurapika. I grabbed a book from my side table and sat with my back against the backboard.

Kurapika POV (a few hours earlier)

breathing, that was all I could think of. I have to breath. My mind raced as my hands made there way up to my eyes. I knew they where there as the slight burning sensation on them being red was there. I had been going in and out of sleep for a few hours and when I finally got sleep I had a horrible nightmare.
"I'm fine" I mumbled while trying to get up. My legs wobbled under my weight. My eyes scared the room, the dark effecting my vision. I grabbed my discarded shirt and tossed it on. I walked slowly down the hallway.
Chrollo had mentioned a small library and I knew it was past his door somewhere. My mind was still foggy with sleep as I moved down the dark hallway. A small creak from down the room I was going to go into made me freeze up. I pushed the door open slightly only to hurry backwards. A pair of green eyes stared at me as I looked into the library, office combination. I opened the closes door and pushed my back to the door. My hands where still shaky and my head felt as it was inflamed. As my eyes adjusted to the slightly brighter room I noticed a figure on the bed. This room was warmer then the others and seemed almost comforting. I was still on edge but I still made my way to the bed.
My eyes where tearing but that didn't stop me from cuddling up into one of the fluffy pillows. I closed my eyes and felt a slight movement. I moved closer to the warmth, I didn't care I was basically putting myself in a position to get me hurt, that wasn't what was on my mind.. for the most part.

Third person POV

The light haired male made a small noise as his eyes slowly opened. The darker haired male looked towards him for a second before turning back to his book.
Kurapika had noticed the look but said nothing as he looked away from the other. He grabbed the small glass of water and cautiously took a small sip.
"Its not poison, just water" Chrollo said without looking up. He flipped a page in his book and started from the top again. He nodded his head a bit despite the other not looking at him, kurapika took another sip and put it down. His eyes glanced around the room. His movements were stiff but as neither made any moves of potential danger, Kurapika calmed down and soon found himself leaning against the headboard and reading over Chrollo's shoulder.

"Do you want to find your own book? I showed you where the library is." Chrollo said nonchalantly yet his eyes glanced over kurapika as he stiffened and froze up.
"I-um... It's fine, I don't need one" Kurapika stumbled over his words as he turned away from the other.
Chrollo looked at him questionable but decided it wasn't worth his time to argue with the other, but at a second thought, he thought it would be fun.
He got up and walked over to kurapika before grabbing his shoulder. "Let's get you a book," he said before grabbing Kurapika's wrist.
He dragged the other towards the library door. They pushed it open despite kurapika's weak attempts to get away. He pulled him closer and a small smile crossed his face.

Kurapika cautiously started to look around. While Chrollo kept an eye on him it wasn't obvious if you weren't looking for it. As kurapika walked down a few shelves he came to a small section that had books on the floor. He picked one up and examined it carefully. He opened the cover and started reading. After awhile the soft sound of breathing caught his ear. "Serrisly, I didn't even take that- AHHH" his sentence cut short as he turned, he expected Chrollo to be behind him but instead a furry 'monster' was. Chrollo came over quickly as he heard the scream. "Nightmare" he said loudly making the creature freeze and move it's mouth away from Kurapika.
"Nightmare this is Kurapika, kurapika, nightmare" he said like he was introducing the creature to him.
"Its okay... She's a just a cat. She may be big but she's nice" Chrollo said as the black Puma walked to Chrollo and rubbed against him. Kurapika backed away with fear in his eyes, his eyes glazed over and gave a red tint.
Chrollo got closer and crouched down "kurapika, look at me" he said while gently taking his hand. "Did she scare you that badly? It's okay, she won't hurt you" he said taking his hand away from his and whipping a tear. He then leaned closer and whispers into his ear.

"You look so cute when scared"
