A Hunter's School Life (Kurapika X Reader)

Sick

'Another Monday morning.' You thought as you turn off your alarm.After you got out of bed and stretch to wake up, you noticed there was something off this morning. You look around and see that Kurapika is still sleeping. 'He's still asleep? He's usually up by now.'You see that his face was flushed. You put your hand on his forehead to check his temperature only to find out that he was burning up extremely. "Oh no, a fever! What do I do. We have school today." You said to yourself. Shortly after you asked yourself that, your cellphone started ringing. You pick it up quickly to stop the noise. "Hello?" You said trying to keep your voice down.

"(F/n), this is Melody." Said Melody on the other line.

"Oh Melody, what is it?"

"I just wanted to let you know that Ms. Neon is sick today. So she won't be at school today. So in a way, you and Kurapika have the day off."

"Oh, well it's good to hear that I have a day off. But not about Neon. Tell her I said to get better soon."

"Okay, I will. Can you also tell Kurapika about this. I tried calling him to tell him myself, but he hasn't been picking up."

"I'll be sure to tell him, good-bye."

"Bye."

After you hang up, you called the school and said that both you and Kurapika were sick. When you were done making that call was when Kurapika started waking up. He slowly opened his eyes and moved his head to look at the time. He quickly sat up at the sudden realization of what time it was. This sudden action coming for him was what startled you.

"(F/n), why aren't you dressed. We're late for school!" Kurapika said in a panic.

"Kurapika, calm down. Neon is sick today, so we don't have to go to school today if we don't want to."Kurapika relaxed and laid back down on his bed. You walk over to him with the thermometer you got from the bathroom.

"(F/n), why do you have the-" He couldn't finish his sentence because you tried to put the thermometer in his mouth.

"Under your tongue." He gave in and had the thermometer under his tongue like you asked him. After the thermometer beeped, you took it out of his mouth to read what it said.

"Why are you taking my temperature?"

"Because you have a fever, of 106 degrees to be right." He seemed confused about what you were telling him. He put his hand on his forehead and his eyes widen at the heat.

"How... How come you're not sick?"

"Hm? What do you mean?"

"I think I got sick from being out in the rain the other day. But you were there too. So why aren't you sick?"

"It must be because I have a strong immune system. I haven't been sick in years."

"Really? Well that's lucky for you."

"I guess." You look in the medicine cabinet to try to find the right medicine to give Kurapika, with no luck. All there were was a few different kinds of pain killers, bandages, and cough drops. "We don't have the right medicine for you. So I need to go to the pharmacy to get some. Will you be okay here by yourself for a few minutes?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine." He said as he slowly fell back asleep. Once he was sleeping again you place a cold wet towel on his burning forehead and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before you left.

***********

When you came back from the pharmacy, Kurapika was still asleep. You quickly make him some chicken soup. Right when you were about finish, you heard the shuffling of his bed sheets. You turn to see that he had woken up. "How did you sleep?" You asked as you turn off the stove and pore the soup into a bowl.

"Very well." He simply answered.

You walk over the his bed with the bowl of soup in your hands. "I made you some soup."

"You didn't have to."

"No, I do. It's my job as your girlfriend to take care of you whenever you're sick." You scoop some soup with the spoon you had. "Now say ah!" Kurapika's face was all flushed, but you can tell that right now it wasn't from his fever. He then let out a sigh and opened his mouth, not making the 'ah' sound you asked of him. 'Oh come on! I know it's a bit weird knowing our age, but can you at least lighten up.' You fed him the chicken soup. Once it was all gone you pore the medicine you just bot into a small spoon and gave him the medicine the same way as the soup.

"Yuck, I thought they're suppose to make it taste a little better."

"If they did, kids would take it when they're not suppose to."

"That is a good point."

You turn on the TV and the show that was on was the news. "Good morning and welcome to today's news." Said the anchor. "Yesterday an art gallery was robbed. All the paintings were stolen and everyone that was at the gallery went missing. According to security footage, all the guess were really killed. The criminals responsible were the Phantom Troupe."

After hearing the news, Kurapika tried to get out of bed. "Kurapika, what are you doing?" You asked.

"I'm going after them." He answered.

"Wait, the Phantom Troupe?"

"Yes."

"You can't, it's too dangerous and you're still sick!"

"I have to." Before he could stand up, you pin him down on his bed.

"Why... Why do you have to."

"(F/n)... They killed my clan."

"So this is revenge?"

"Yes."

"Revenge is never a good thing. You have nothing to gain from it."

"I don't need to gain anything. I just need to avenge my people."

'He really does want this. But he can't go now, he's sick. I have no choice. I never wanted to use this trick on Kurapika, but I have to.' "Okay, but drink your tea first."

"All right."

You go to the kitchen and quickly make him a cup of jasmine tea. "Here." You said as you hand Kurapika the hot cup.

"Thanks... for supporting me." After he finish drinking the tea he gave you the now empty cup. But he was unable to get up. His eyes slowly started getting droopy and in a matter of seconds he fell fast asleep.

"Sorry, Kurapika. But... I can't have you do anything stupid while you're like this." You said as you put his covers over him. And with that, you heard a knock on the door. "Coming!" You open the door to see that it was (BFF1), (BFF2), Gon, Killua, and Leorio.

"Hey, (F/n)!" Said (BFF2).

"Why weren't you and Kurapika at school?" Asked Gon.

"Kurapika is sick." You answer.

"And Neon?" Asked (BFF1).

"Also sick."

"I figure as much, a virus has been going around. That's why I came here today." Said Leorio.

"Huh... What do you mean?"

"Leorio is studying to become a doctor." Said Gon.

"Really?! If I've known that I would have called you."

"It's okay, I'm here now aren't I." Said Leorio.

"I suppose you're right."

"Kurapika... Kurapika, wake up." Leorio attempted to wake the sleeping Kurta.

"It's no use, he's out cold."

"What do you mean?" Gon asked confused, but your friends knew you so long to understand what's going on.

"You spiked his tea with codeine, didn't you?" Asked (BFF1).

"Yep." You answered.

"Wait... You did what?!" Said Leorio.

"I didn't expect you to do something like that (F/n)." Said Killua.

"She often used this trick on her brother(s) whenever they're sick and won't stop bugging her. But I never would have guessed you would use this trick on Kurapika." Said (BFF2).

"I had no choice, I would have done something crazy if I didn't." You said.

"What do you mean? What was he going to do?" Asked Killua.

"He wanted to go after the Phantom Troupe."

"The Phantom Troupe?! Why would he want to go after those monsters?" Asked (BFF2).

"I rather not say." Then you feel a gentle pat on you shoulder, it was Leorio.

"You made a smart choice. I know how badly Kurapika wants to take down the Phantom Troupe. But going after them while he's in this state would be meaningless. Thanks, for keeping his feet to the ground." Said Leorio.

"S-Sure... No problem."
