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

Chapter 17.

Kurapika/Outside POV

Y/N was fast asleep. 

I must have followed Melody's instructions correctly then.

While Y/N was out

I walked into the Nostrade estate, greeted by Melody.

"Are you alright Kurapika?"

She asked, with concern and curiosity written on her face.

"Well, Y/N has been acting strangely this morning"

"How so?"

Rubbing my chin in thought, as we walked down the long hall.

"This morning Y/N seemed agitated and concerned about something. Even cleaning the sheets when they didn't need cleaning."

Her face lit with slight amusement to how clueless the boy's face was.

"Kurapika"

She said closing her eyes with a small smile on her lips. 

I looked down to see her with a notepad and a pen.

"What's that for?"

"I will tell you what, I'll give you some suggestions to what may help her caus-"

The boy cut her off, with a stern face, though not on purpose, more as though instinct.

"Their. Their cause"

Melody stopped in her tracks with wide eyes and mouth agape.

The boy's expression turned apologetic and soft.

"I apologize, that was rude of me"

Bowing his head he waited for her acceptance.

She came to the conclusion as to what he meant by his sudden words and smiled.

"No, it was my mistake, I should've asked first"

Giving each other a friendly smile they continue to walk.

"So, what must I know to help Y/N?"

Present

Looking down at the sleeping one.

He feels pity, yet not only for the fact that all women had to go through such things.

But because you had to go through such things even when you're not.

He wasn't one to be very affectionate, not because he didn't want to be, more like he doesn't know how to express it.

Though Melody made it much easier, giving him a list of options of how to care for Y/N.

It makes him feel quite pathetic in a way, not being able to show how he may feel.

Y/N sturred in their sleep, making the boy jump a little at the sudden movement from the cacoon.

Their sleepy eyes make their way to the boys, blinking at them.

"Hiii~"

Y/N said sleepily with a tired smile, waving lazily at the boy.

"Why hello there, I like your cacoon"

"Thank you, it's very comfy indeed, would you like to be indulged by the buddle of blankets?"

Unraveling from their cacoon Y/N welcomes the boy with open arms.

Y/N seeing as though the boy didn't know what do to, quite flustered.

They grabbed the boy and wrapped him in the trap that is the cacoon of blankets. 

"Gah-"

Letting out a surprised sound, Y/N laughs.

The boy hesitantly set his head on Y/N's chest.

Wait, how is it so-

The boy felt Y/N's side.

Oh, that's it.

"Y/N"

"Yes"

They said stroking the boy's gold locks.

"You have to do this, to feel like you?"

He said, lightly brushing his hand along the outline of Y/N's binding.

Y/N stayed silent, which made the boy worriedly shooting his head up to face them.

Their eyes were dull and somewhat sorrowful, guilty.

"Do you think it's shameful, or repulsive?"

The boy was struck with Y/N's words, for he hadn't thought that for not even a second of knowing them.

"No, of course not. I never thought that of you"

Staring back at the boy's eyes, noticing the guilt in them, the reassurance. 

Realizing that he was the one to not judge you, but to hold your hand, to guide you through the misty dark society.

"I never should've thought of you thinking of me that way, I'm sorry"

His face now at ease he smiles softly, taking a hold of your hand, showing forgiveness.

"Is it alright if we meet some friends tomorrow?"

"You mean, Killua, Gon, and Leorio"

"Ah, you know of them too do you"

"Of course I do! I love them all too much!"

"That's good to hear"

Setting his head back comfortably onto your chest.

"But Killua really needs to step up his game and just confess to Gon already, it's going wayyy too far"

"Yes, that is accurate"

Closing his heavy eyes, his breaths in sync with the pattern of yours.

Drifting off to the sound of your heartbeat, slow and steady yet offbeat.

To the feeling of your chilling touch on his scalp as you brushed your fingers through his hair.

It was all so,

safe.
