Façade

Stay with me

Normal POV
Killua stared at the white ceiling and tightened his grip on Lynn's waist. He couldn't believe what he was doing.

He shouldn't want this. This warm feeling inside his heart when she truly smiles at him with nothing but happiness. Her gentle and heart warming words that come out of her mouth, her gentle hands that caress his hair, he shouldn't want her. He leant back against the sofa and shut his eyes, blinking the tears away.

He looked down at Lynn and caressed her hair, asking silent questions. Will you accept my demons Lynn? Will you love me even after you know? Lynn's breath evened out and she had a small smile on her lips, her blue hair falling around her face and her right cheek pressed against his chest. He smiled and shifted her in such a way the she was lying on the couch. He lied down beside her and buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling her comforting scent. He closed his eyes hoping he could forget the words that she'd whispered him.

Do I really deserve you Lynn? He hugged her closer and buried his face deeper, wanting to close his eyes and have a good sleep.

Kurapika's POV
Leorio and me sat across each other sipping on wine. I leaned back on my leather chair and observed the middle aged man. It was easy to tell that he was on Lynn's side.... But how far will he go? Can I trust him?
"Well Kurapika. You look troubled"
"Really? I'm just thinking about that talk you had with Lynn."
"Well. She is an impressive girl. I can tell that the school thing is both helping her and burdening her. On one hand she's not completely broken and on the other hand she doesn't want to hide anymore. Well it could either be a good thing or a bad thing really. Depending on the outcome that is. But about the case. Do you have any suspects?"
I placed the wine on the desk and contemplated my answer. It would be bad to reveal our suspicions now before we have confirmed it.

I slowly shook my head. "Well Lauren and Ryo did have a lot of business rivals. Could be anyone of them" Leorio placed his fingers on his chin and stared at nothing in paticular analyzing the various possibilities. "It's not that it's not possible. But.. During their last days, were they ok?" I frowned. Lauren and Ryo..."Well no. Actually ever since the death of their other daughter they've been really bad"
"Any of their personal belongings I could look into? You know just to be sure nothing is up" I nodded. "I'll ask Sienna to clear up a little of their belongings" Leorio leaned forward, placing his hands on the desk. "And how is the company? Going well?" On the inside my heart was pounding with nervousness. But I kept up my emotionless facade and nodded nonchalantly. I can't trust him yet. "Yes everything is fine. Should be fine anyway. Nothing I can't handle. And are you planing to stay here sipping wine all day? I have work to do you know?"

Leorio grinned and drowned the rest of his wine in a single gulp. "Well. I can't pass up a good conversation with one of my old time friends" I rolled my eyes and gestured for him to leave. "And just so you know" Leorio continued chuckling as he got up. "You can't keep secrets with me" just before I could react Leorio waved and exited my office.

Oh god. What did he know? Damn Leorio. I leaned back in the chair and ruffled through my already messy blonde hair in an effort to cease my frustration. This is all so messed up. I got up from my overly comfortable swiveling chair and looked out of the window. It's not going to be long before the entire ship goes down in the pool of blood that it created. Question is. Who'll drown and who will survive?

I sighed and gathered some of my papers. Whoever goes down with the ship.,. I don't intend Lynn to be one of them. Nor will I dishonor Ryo and Lauren in any way. I took a few breath and calmed down, putting on a cool facade once again. I've got work to do.

Normal POV
Sienna and Hisoka sat on the couch together glaring at each other. Well Sienna was doing most of the glaring. "You haven't been up to anything good" she said in a matter of fact voice. Hisoka grinned and kept up his innocent act. "Oh I don't know what your talking about Anna" Sienna sighed and rubbed her temples. This guy was just too difficult.
