Solo Yet Together ~ Assasination Classroom x Hunter x Hunter crossover

Chapter 13: Vlady

After my talk with Koro-Sensei, I walk back into the classroom. It was the classic scolding and I got week detention for which I am not planning to show up. The moment I enter the classroom I notice everyone stops talking and looks at me. Rem is sitting in the class, she seems like she's freaking out. Everyone looks at me with blaming faces and the tension is immense. "I think it's better if I leave," I conclude before walking out again.

At the end of the hall, I can hear a pair of footsteps behind me, following me. "Hey, wait up!" I turn around and see Kurapika.

"Why did you follow me?" I ask Kurapika.

"I just wanted to know if you have a reason for doing this," Kurapika asks. My reason... Memories start coming back and a shadow falls over me. I look at the ground with tears stinging in my eyes. "What happened?"

"They killed him..." I whisper. "The wolves were the one killing him."

"They killed who?" Kurapika steps closer and lays a hand on my shoulder. I allow him to and look up at him, only now noticing our difference in length, the top of my head barely reaches his chin.

"They killed Jerome. It was centuries ago but I'll never forgive the wolves for what they did," I answer. My eyes shining red and glistening with tears.

"Did you love that boy?" Kurapika asks. I am speechless for a second because of the sudden question but nod.

"He was the first and last one," I say. I step back, making Kurapika lose his grip on my shoulder. "Wolves and vampires never were able to live in peace together and it will never happen. If I love someone the wolves will just murder that person, they've proven it before." I don't know why I'm telling him this, telling him my fear. Especially since the fear is about him.

"Rem said she wanted to be friends, right?" Kurapika remarks, looking at me. I think about it, but I can't find a reason for her to say so.

"It's always been like this, I don't- no, can't believe it," I reply. I look at his face and see, to my surprise, worry. "Don't look at me like that."

"Look at you like what?"

"Like you care for me and actually worry about me," I answer, looking down at the ground.

"Why can't I? I do actually worry about you," Kurapika asks.

"He used to look at me the same... He used to worry about me and always try to comfort me." I look back up at him. Kurapika doesn't look at all like Jerome from the outside. Jerome had long black hair and gentle brown eyes. He was muscular and pretty loud. But they're similar in some way... Maybe because they can both see beyond the glowing red eyes, pale skin and growing fangs.

"Why wouldn't someone worry about you? You're an amazing person." Suddenly I feel two arms around me and I'm being pressed against Kurapika's chest. I can hear his heartbeat and feel his body warmth. His body smell calms me down and somehow reminds me of a forest.

"I'm a killer..." I say, repeating what everyone always used to say.

"You're wrong, they made you a killer." My eyes grow big because he is the first one saying this. They fill with tears again and before I know it those tears are rolling down my cheeks. I bury my head in Kurapikas kimono and sob silently. He hugs me tighter and whispers soothing words in my ear.

"T-thank you," I whisper back, lifting my head and looking into his eyes. Our eyes lock and for a moment it seems like nothing ever happened. Until the door on the other side of the hall opens and Kurapika quickly lets go of me and takes a step back.

Rio is standing there, she looks at me with a disgusted look but doesn't say anything. "Kurapika-Sensei, Koro-Sensei asked if you could help him correct the tests of today."

"On my way, thank you, Rio," he says before walking into the classroom with Rio again. I keep looking at the door for a few seconds before walking out of the building and sit next to a tree.

~ It's time for a time skip :P ~

"Vlady? Vlady, wake up." I open my eyes to see Kurapika. I haven't slept in weeks, probably I fell asleep because of the crying. I rub my eyes and yawn. "Everyone already left, how are you feeling?" he asks, sitting next to me.

"Sleepy," I say, leaning to the side and laying my head on his shoulder. I can feel him stiffen up a bit, giving away he feels nervous.

"W-what are you doing?" Kurapika asks. I look up to him and turn towards him, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Y-you see... When we were speaking... I noticed something about myself..." I murmured.

"What exactly?" Kurapika asks, his cheeks being slightly red and not taking his eyes off of mine.

I don't answer him but instead close the space between us, pressing my lips on his. At first, nothing happens but after a few seconds, he kisses back and wraps his arms around me.

After a few seconds, he pulls back. "Didn't you say you were afraid to love someone again?" he asks, a blush spreading over his cheeks. I can feel my cheeks burn too and my heart is pounding faster than it did in ages.

"I do... But we must overcome our fears, don't we?" I reply, sitting down on his lap and snuggling my head into his chest.
