Fixer Upper

Beach Vacation

<p>As the sun began to rise over their small cabin, (Name) was already awake packing lunches and preparing breakfast.</p><div>

<p>"You're up early."</p></div><div>

<p>Kurapika sat down at the kitchen table, sending her a smile. "Oh, yeah, I needed to make sure everything was ready for today. We'll be at the beach for quite a while, so I had to pack plenty of snacks."</p></div><div>

<p>She looked cute in her matching set of pink pajamas. There wasn't a time Kurapika could think of when he didn't think she looked cute. </p></div><div>

<p>"Hmm, Kurapika, I'm brewing some coffee. Would you like a cup?"</p></div><div>

<p>He glanced up to see her walking forward, sitting down next to him. She seemed rather happy this morning, smiling as she leaned against his shoulder.</p></div><div>

<p>"We're going to have a lot of fun today. I'm excited to spend lots of time with you!"</p></div><div>

<p>He pushed her away gently, looking away. She seemed just a little disappointed by this, but continued smiling. "I'll go make you a cup of coffee."</p></div><div>

<p>She hurried away to the kitchen. Kurapika caught her wiping at her eyes, his stomach twisting knowing he'd probably made her cry again.</p></div><div>

<p>He stood up suddenly and walked forward, unable to stop himself. She glanced up just in time to see Kurapika lift a hand and place it on her head in a gentle pat.</p></div><div>

<p>"... thank you."</p></div><div>

<p>She blinked, looking up at him confused. He continued patting awkwardly, not able to look her in the eye.</p></div><div>

<p>"You're... you're welcome?"</p></div><div>

<p>(Name) also reached up and patted his head, not knowing what else she should do. They just stared at each other in confusion for a minute, neither willing to back down in fear it would make things even more awkward.</p></div><div>

<p>"Of course this is the first thing I see when I wake up at the buttcrack of dawn."</p></div><div>

<p>Leorio stood in the doorway, scowling. He yawned loudly before pouring a cup of coffee for himself. </p></div><div>

<p>"Good morning Leorio! How did you sleep?"</p></div><div>

<p>"As good as someone can when your roommate is jer-"</p></div><div>

<p>Kurapika rushed forward and dragged Leorio away, leaving his cup on the table.</p></div><div>

<p>'Was he about to say jerking off?' (Name) thought, tilting her head. 'It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Poor Pik- I mean Kurapika.'</p></div><div>

<p>"Hey, what's the big d-"</p></div><div>

<p>Kurapika slammed Leorio against the wall, his eyes shining red in embarrassment. "What the hell were you thinking telling her that? She's a girl, you know?"</p></div><div>

<p>Leorio raised an eyebrow. "Telling her what, that you were jerking off last night? Do you think she cares what you do in the privacy of your- well actually OUR bedroom? Speaking of which, do that in the bathroom next time."</p></div><div>
