Chapter 43: (Y/N)'s Birthday

~ March 22nd, 11:49 pm ~

It was only minutes before (Y/N) officially turned nineteen years old. During this time of year, the weather is beginning to warm up due to the new season. And yet once again, the two lovers were having another sleepover. Tonight, it was held in Kurapika's room. Though the fireplace wasn't as practical due to the temperature increase of the weather, the two of them enjoyed to stay close together around it.

"We're not doing anything important early in the morning, right?", (Y/N) asked with a slightly nervous tone.

"If we did, it would be a shock to us at this point. Besides, even then, I would've made both of us fall asleep by now", Kurapika chuckled.

"I suppose you're right", she replied with a small smile. "I guess we should be thankful that we don't get much action these days. Especially in the type of work we do".

"Mhm, and at our current status, it appears that no news is good news", he replied with a soft smile.

The two were laying side by side, with their heads facing the opposite side of the headboard in order to lie closer towards the warm presence of the fire. Kurapika had noticed (Y/N) appeared to be lost in her thoughts, staring upon the ceiling.

"Is everything alright?", he asked her in concerned voice.

No answer.

"Love?", he question before slightly tapping her shoulder.

"Hm?", she responded with.

"Is everything alright?", he asked her once more.

"Yeah, why do you ask?", she answered.

"You zoned out for a little bit. What's on your mind?", he asked out of pure curiosity.

"Nothing much really. I just happen think about them from time to time. I become anxious at first, but knowing them, I'm confident they're doing just fine", she replied with a smile of assurance.

"Your parents?", he questioned.

"Mainly, but Gon & Killua too. My parents got each other, and the boys are with Bisky. I miss them, my parents especially. I'm typically quite a patient person, but that's starting to thin out", she confessed with a sigh, later then following a yawn.

"I'm sure it'll be soon", he replied with confidence.

"When is that then?", she questioned his statement with.

"I'm not sure exactly when, but I know they'll come when the time is just right", he reassured her as he held her hand in bed.

"I hope so..", she replied.

The moment was interrupted once Kurapika's cell phone vibrated nearby him. Silencing the noise without paying much attention to it, he had brushed himself closer to his lover, and eventually, into a warm embrace. This sudden motion had surprised the girl, who was typically the one to embrace him first.

"Was that important?", she questioned him, still confused from his sudden actions. Nonetheless, she still responded to them by following back, lying on his chest.

"It's just an alarm", he replied.

"Why do you have an alarm set this late?", she asked in a tired, groggy voice.

"It's midnight now, happy birthday Darling", he replied with a smile. Once that was said, he then gave her a soft kiss on the top of her head. "So, what do you want to do in the morning?".

...

"Sweetheart?", he questioned due to no response.

Then, he quickly noticed. She had fell sound asleep, though he couldn't blame her, especially after a long day of work.
