A Hunter's School Life (Kurapika X Reader)

Cruise of feelings

"I can't believe we only have three weeks of school left!" Neon yelled with excitement as you all walk to first hour.

"But before that we have finals." Kurapika pointed out.

"Please don't mention finals, Kurapika! It'll stress me out."

"I'm sure you'll do fine, right (F/n)?" You didn't answer. You were too busy having your soul come out of your body. And Kurapika sweat drooped seeing you like that.

"Oh, I know! I'll have daddy hire me a tutor." Neon pulled out her phone to make a call.

"Hey (F/n), are you okay?" Kurapika placed his hand on your shoulder, snapping you out of your dying moment.

"I... I just... I just completely forgot all about the finals. I'm gonna fail for sure." You said with glum look.

"I'm sure you'll do fine. I'll make sure of that."

You were a bit confused on what he said. "What do you mean?"

"I'll help you study."

"Really?! Y-you'll do that?"

"Of course."

'Wow, he's so nice offering to help me study.' You thought. 'But of course that's how he is. He's nice, kind, caring, smart, strong, cute... Wait! Why am I thinking about that? And why is my heart betting so fast? Oh crap, I have a crush on Kurapika! Great, what am I gonna do you?'

*********

The three weeks past by fast, and you were able to pass all your finals. Even though it was hard to study with your little crush on Kurapika. You tried really hard to forget about it, but it just wouldn't stop. In fact, it even started to grow. Now you loved just whatever he did. You loved how he looked when he reads. How he did his work. Even how he slept. It was getting hard for you to focus when he was around. Now that summer was finally here, you no longer had homework or assignments to worry about. You were completely free. But there was just one problem. It was the same problem Kurapika had during spring break. And it was now a problem you both shared. You both had to work. Sure spending time with Neon and getting paid was fun. But you wanted to hang out with your other friends (Bff1), (Bff2), and (Bff3). Or maybe just spending a day relaxing at home.

Today you were having a meeting with Mr. Nostrade, Neon's dad. "Daddy, I want t go on vacation." Said Neon.

"But... You're already on summer vacation, Neon." Said her dad.

"No, not summer vacation, vacation. You know, go somewhere and have some have fun. All the kids at school said they'd be traveling, going to amusement parks, camping, or visiting relatives. I want to do something fun too."

"Well then, were do you want to go?"

Neon took a moment to think about it. "Oh, I know! How about a cruise to Hawaii?"

"That's a great idea. But unfortunately I won't be able to come with you because I have a lot of business I need to do."

"You always say that."

"Come now, don't be like that. Look at the bright side."

"What bright side?"

"You can go to the cruise with (F/n). You'll at least have a friend with you to have fun." 'Well the idea of me asking for a day off just jump out a fifty story window to commit suicide.' You thought.

"I guess, but I still want you to be there with me."

"I'll tell you what. As soon as I have some free time, we'll do something together."

"You promise?"

"Promise."

Kurapika's POV

A few days after the meeting, we boarded the cruise. As expected Mr. Nostrade wasn't able to make it. "It's too bad daddy wasn't able to come." Said Neon with a depress look as she watched the ocean.

"I'm sure you'll have tons of fun without him. Sure it can't be a father-daughter cruise trip. But it can be a fun BFF cruise trip!" Said (F/n) as she tried to cheer Neon up.

Neon's expression brightened as she said, "You're right, (F/n)! Why should I sit here moping around. When I can go and have fun with my friend. Come on, (F/n)! Let's go to stores and see what kind of clothes they have on this ship."

As Neon grabbed (F/n)'s wrist and dragged her to the ships stores. A look of fear came to Basho and (F/n). I understood why Basho was scared, since he would be the one carrying the shopping bags. But I didn't get why (F/n) was scared until we were inside the first shop. When Neon forced (F/n) into to changing room with as many clothes as she can grab. After (F/n) tried on what seemed like thousands of clothes. We left the stores with Neon and (F/n) wearing matching sailor dresses and Basho carrying over a hundred shopping bags.

"Isn't this great? We're both wearing matching dresses." Said Neon. "Now let's go to the pool and make sure no one has the same swimsuit as us."

"Said by the girl who's wearing matching dress." Basho said in a whisper.

*********

The pool was suppose to be the time I use to relax. But I just couldn't focus. My eyes would always find themselves drifting away from my book and go to (F/n). Seeing her screaming from Neon splashing her or going down the water slide. I smiled as I saw her having fun. I was happy seeing that she was enjoying herself.

"So... Are you happy that we're here?" Basho asked as he was sun bathing.

"Even though this cruise isn't really my idea of a way to spend my vacation. As long as I get some peace I'm okay with it."

"That's not what I meant."

"Huh?"

"What I meant is are you happy that you get a chance to see (F/n) in a swimsuit." He said with a mischievous grin.

My face inevitably turned bright red. "What?! N-no! (F/n) and I are just friends." I knew I had to leave or Basho would keep pushing and teasing me. "Anyway, I have to go now." As I was leaving the pool I took a quick glance at (F/n) and my heart suddenly started betting rapidly. I look over to the ocean trying to calm myself. 'Damn it, what is wrong with me? What am I feeling?' I thought to myself.

"You okay?" Asked a voice. I turn around to see that it was Melody.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine."

"You seem confused."

"I am."

"Confused about feelings maybe?" She hit the nail right at the head. "For (F/n)? Do you like her?"

I didn't know what to say. "Uh... well... I don't know, do I?"

Melody just laughed at my question. "I see, I understand now."

"You do?"

"This is the first time you've even felt anything like this, so you're confused. But I recognize the tune your heart is playing right now. It's the melody of someone in love."

I placed my hand over my heart. 'This feeling, am I really developing feeling for (F/n).' That's when I truly started to think about it. I thought about everything. When and how we met. How she acted. All the stuff she did for me. "I guess I do have feelings for her."
