Shifting For You//Kurapika X Nonbinary Reader ONE-SHOTS

Chapter 7.

"Awhile"

"But, it's not like I need to be told"

Was all the boy could mudder up, putting on a small smile.

It was,

Heartbreaking.

Your heart filled with such pity for the young boy, more like so much empathy.

Relation, but differently.

With that empathy came a heavy feeling in your gut, like you had swallowed an ocean.

"Stop"

Why, why would you ever say such a thing?

"Don't, you ever, say that you don't NEED to be told that you are loved, ever."

It's so,

"Because everyone needs to be told that"

So,

"Even the ones who are used to being alone"

Sickening.

Dropping your head, letting your hair fall over your shadowed face.

You hated whenever anyone thought that they don't deserve something, though, you were a hypocrite in that statement.

"Thank you (Y/N)"

Flinching to his words, lifting your head slowly, revealing a touched boy.

His eyes are so soft now.

I feel, so small 

Like the world revolves around you

I know mine does.

I love you too much, it's almost unbearable.

Time Skip                                                                      

Steam traveling its way up to every corner of the petite bathroom.

Feeling the tingling sensation as the burning water falls onto my bareback.

Staring at the poorly tiled shower walls, thinking about absolutely, nothing.

It was one of those moments when you have taken in so much in one day that you are just too mentally drained.

But, even when you thought of nothing, you smiled to yourself.

I did it

After months of failing, I finally did it

Mini Time Skip = --------------------------------------------------------------

Walking out of the shower to see the steam filled room.

Facing the smokey mirror, staring at yourself.

I knew I had forgotten to write something in my script.

Shooing the thought you take out your finger, writing something onto the mirror.

Leaving the room after getting changed into the clothes you borrowed.

Bringing the collar of the shirt to your nose

It smelt like,

You didn't really know what it smelt like, you didn't know how to describe it.

It was a significant smell, a smell that one only possessed.

-------------------------------------------------------

As you headed out of the bathroom

Kurapika was actually getting ready to go to work, to the Nostrade family as a bodyguard, saying it was already 4 in the morning.

After getting the eyes of his people, he wanted to kill the rest of those six-legged scoundrels.

But, he needed more information, thinking just maybe, that family knows, even the slightest detail.

Walking into the bathroom after you had come out

He turned to the still smoked up mirror, words were written upon it, reading

"Pretty girl"

Hmm

She must have a lot of confidence

The boy thought, wiping the mirror clean.

 If only he knew, what went on in your head to make you write such simple, yet delicate words.
