Terrible Memories

(TW: Drinking, Mentions and memories of SA/Rape)
Kurapika POV

I sat up and yawned, I had a long stressful night but for the first time in days Leorio wasn't by my side when I woke up.

"Baby?" I said in a confused mumble.

I rubbed my eyes and yawned again. I swung my legs over the side of my bed and stretched before standing up.

I looked at the clock, it was three in the morning. I never wake up at three, jeez what's wrong.

I opened the bedroom door and began to walk down the hall, I checked every room that I passed hoping he would be in it. I finally reached the last room in the hallway, the bathroom. Every time Leorio isn't in bed with me I pray he isn't hunched over the toilet barfing his brains out, it's always a scary thought.

I knocked on the door, "Leorio? Are you in there baby?"

Through the door I could hear him gagging, coughing, and barfing so I really had no need to ask if he was there, and if he was barfing he wouldn't be able to answer anyway.

"I'm coming in, okay?" I opened the door.

Not to my surprise, but much to my displeasure, Leorio was on his knees bent over the toilet barfing his brains out.

"Leorio, what's wrong?" I reached out to touch his shoulder only for him to flinch in response.

I pulled my hand back and cleared my throat, "Baby, are you okay?"

Leorio shook his head and sat back. He looked tired, I could tell something was wrong.

I kneeled down beside him and looked around at the mess on the floor. The floor wasn't a super big mess just a half drunk bottle of beer and a letter from his stepmom, Ashley.

"The entire night, the only dream I had was about her, and what she-she did. Then I woke up and-and your hands were on me and I freaked out because you-you look like her, same hair color, skin too, her-her eyes are darker though. Sunshine, I was so scared that I didn't even finish my bottle of beer and I'm a fucking alcoholic."

Leorio lifted up the letter on the floor, "So I went to check the mail and-"

Leorio started to cry, "She sent me something. I want to but just can't fucking open it! It could be important like something about my dad! But I'm scared it's gonna be about that fucking kid! She always said he's my dad's but I know better, she told us only a few weeks after she- she did those things and..."

He shook his head and wiped his mouth.

"Leorio, baby-"

Before I could finish my sentence I heard footsteps and a yawn.

"¿Papá?" Lily said softly, "Papá what's wrong?"

I looked behind me and sighed.

I slide over trying to block Leorio from view of his daughter. She never knew about her father's issues and this would be a terrible way to find out. And I know Leorio would hate to let her know.

"Hey hunny, why are you awake?" I asked.

"I heard Papá get up, is he okay?" She tried you look behind me.

"Your dad's just feeling a bit under the weather, but he'll be okay. Just head back to bed okay? You have to wake up for school in a few hours. Goodnight Lily me and your dad love you."

"Goodnight Kurapika." She yawned, "Goodnight Papá."

I waited till I heard the sound of her bedroom door shut. I turned around and looked at Leorio, "Baby, I know you're looking for comfort right now but I don't know how to comfort you. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No. No I'm sorry, you should just go back to bed. I'm so sorry for worrying you." He smiled at me, "But can you hand me that letter please."

I nodded and handed him the letter, "Here baby."

"Thanks," he smiled at me, "Go back to bed, I'm going to head to work-"

"Leorio it's five in the morning-"

"The hospital never closes so therefore it never opens. Goodnight I love you."

I sighed, "I love you too..."
