Remember Me (Kurapika X Reader)

Part Seventeen

"Just rest, (Y/N). You had a long day," Kurapika says as he pulls the blankets over your body.

You nod, and can't help but yawn, but still you wonder, "Kurapika, I have a question."

"Hmm?" Kurapika watches you curiously, "What's your question, (Y/N)? I'll tell you anything you're curious about."

"Are you sure?" You ask him, "It's a little personal."

"Anything, (Y/N)," He clutches your hand in his, Izunavi giving him a sly smirk.

You let out a deep breath before finally asking, "Have you retrieved any more of the Scarlet Eyes?"

He struggles to keep his eyes from going red, but calms down as you give his hand a gentle squeeze. "Yes, actually, I have retrieved quite a lot of my brethren's eyes. With your help a few times."

"My help..?" You pause in thought, trying to recall anything, but you come up empty.

Kurapika notices your hard concentration, and can't help but let out a chuckle, "I see you're really trying to recall this, (Y/N). Would you like me to explain?"

You agree to this, offering him a kind smile, "Yes, please."

He allows himself to sit down in the recliner by your bed, as he tells you the story, his hand never leaving yours.

"(Y/N), how are you doing?" A familiar voice comes through your cell phone speaker.

You can't help but smile at hearing his voice once more, "I'm doing well. How are you, Kurapika?"

"I'm well. Listen, (Y/N), I've called to ask you for your assistance," He says, cutting right to the point.

You listen closely, "What do you need my help with?"

"I've found out about a man who has a few pairs of my brethren's scarlet eyes in his possession. He's been involved with the mafia, so if possible I'd like to keep it a stealth mission as I retrieve the eyes. Are you interested in helping me?"

You don't answer for a second, giving Kurapika his doubts, "Of course. Should I make my way to you?"

"Yes," He starts, pulling his phone away from his ear, and pressing on the screen a few times, before putting it back to his ear, "I've just wired you the money you'll need to purchase a flight here. Keep in touch, and I'll see you shortly."

That being said, he hangs up the phone, leaving you a little surprised. "I guess that means he wants me to leave this very second.."

You use the money you were wired to quickly purchase a flight and make your way to the airport. You board your flight and pass the time on it by reading or sleeping. The pilots voice over the loud speaker wakes you up and signifies you that the airship has landed. You rub the tiredness out of your eyes, and throw your backpack over your shoulder. Once you deplane and enter the airport, you search around hoping the blonde man will be easy to spot. 

"(Y/N), it's good to see you again," A familiar voice says from behind you. 

You spin on your heels and come face-to-face with the man you were searching for. "Kurapika!" Your instinct is to pull him into a hug, "It's been too long!"

The hug catches Kurapika by surprise as he hesitates for a second, but finally he reciprocates the hug. Once you pull back, you offer him a bright smile, "How are you doing?" You wonder, noticing the dark circles that accentuate his eyes.

A tired smile makes it's way onto his face, "I'm doing well, (Y/N). Thank you for asking." He gestures to your bag, and you pass it to him for him to carry. "I've rented a hotel room, it'll be easier to talk there than in the open."
