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

Chapter 20.

Oh shit.

Watching as the three make their way to your booth with wide eyes filled with fear and excitement.

You can do this Y/N, Kurapika is with you too, and plus you already know quite a bit about them so it should be okay. Right?

The tall man had made eye contact with you for a brief second, before examining you out of curiosity. The boy with the curls also looked at you with the same wonder in his eyes. 

Kurapika stood out of the booth to greet his comrades. 

"It's nice to see you guys"

"Ya!" 

The three said in sync, it made you flinch a tad. 

Then all their eyes came upon you, all you saw was that same wonder and confusion in all their eyes, except for Kurapika's of course. 

The boy looked at you with amusement, taking slight enjoyment from seeing you flustered. 

"This is Y/N, Y/N this is Leorio, Killua, and Gon"

"H-Hi"

You felt the heat rising to your face, wanting to hide away in a hole from being so nervous. 

"Hi! I'm Gon!"

"Killua"

"It's Mr. Leorio"

You stood stiff like a plank and nodded profusely,

"O-Ok!"

The blonde next to you chuckled and grazed his thumb on the back of your hand, making you less stressed about the situation you were in. 

The five of you sat at the booth, you next to Kurapika and the three others across from you.

Killua getting a little smushed against the wall by Gon, as Leorio took up most of the seat. 

You smiled at the sight, it was really cute.

"So, Y/N"

The man in the blue suit spoke, to which you respond,

"Uh yes?"

"How old are you?"

A little taken aback from his sudden question you answer,

"I'm 18"

The man's eyes widened and mouth agaped,

"But, you look so young!"

Kurapika chuckled at the observation covering his mouth with a smile behind it. 

"Ah, I suppose I do look quite young don't I?"

You could say that you had quite the, well, baby face. You've been told that ever since you reached the 8th grade. Not particularly an insult, it depends on who says it.

The five of you heard the clacking of heals quickly approach the table.

"Hello, what would you five like today?"

Oh, we hadn't even looked at the menus.

You stared down at the closed menu that was placed in front of you, no words being able to form. 

"I'll like the cheese burger and fries, and these two kiddos will have the same-"

Leorio had said gesturing to the two talkative boys beside him, only to be interrupted by the ball of silver hair.

"No tomatos."

"Yeah, yeah, no tomatoes for his"

The man rolled his eyes at the young boy, giving him a side eye.

In response the boy had just stuck out his tongue. 

"Alrighty, and for you miss?"

The waitress's kind eyes made their way to your panicked ones. 

Words were caught at your throat as your legs went limp. It was such a simple thing to do, yet you couldn't make that small interaction. 

In a state of compressed panic, you had been interrupted by your thoughts from a firm yet polite voice beside you. 

"THEY, will have the same as the others"

Giving the women a kind smile, handing back the poorly made menus. 

She looked at the boy in confusion and back to you, soon she had given up on the thought, and strolled back to the kitchen.

"Are you alright?"

You felt two eyes pierce yours with pure concern and confusion. 

Swallowing the lump in your throat you nod,

"Yeah, I'm okay, thanks"

Giving the boy a reassuring smile.

The moment had only lasted for a split second, for it was interrupted by the ball of silver.

"So, Kurapika, is she like your girlfriend or something?"

The boy asked, carelessly putting his hands behind his neck, and yet curiously lifting a brow. The question had drawn the attention of the other two as well. With their gazes set on the boy and yourself. 

"I- Um actually, I- uh"

Your words were scrambled and jumbled, as if words had been filled into your mouth and you were to spit out which ever one came to mind first.

"Actually, Y/N is my partner, not my girlfriend"

You felt your pulse in your ears and the heat rise from your neck to your cheeks. As you took a glance at their faces. 

Shock. That's what was written all over their faces.

I could see why, Kurapika doesn't seem the type to get into a relationship. Especially before his mission had been completed. 

Then the bright eyed boy spoke,

"Wait, but Killua asked if she was your girlfriend, right? So, doesn't partner and girlfriend have the same meaning in this situation, so why correct him?"

It was a silly and unnecessary question, but the wonders of a child's mind can go beyond those silly questions. 

The blond beside you had given you a glance, as if he needed permission for something. In response you just nodded, trusting the boy's choice of words.

"You see Gon, a girlfriend and a partner are different meanings in this context. A girlfriend is someone who you date that is female. A partner is someone you date or are married too."

"Hold on but isn't Y/N a girl?"

The taller figure had figured out by now that you weren't exactly a "girlfriend", so did the ball of silver. Although the one with bright eyes had been quite lost. Which caused the other two to mentally facepalm themselves. 

The blond looked at you and smiled, he wanted you to tell him.

Ok, Y/N you can do it.

"Well Gon, I-I'm actually not a girl-, or a boy"

Confusion had been written on now both the silver boy's face and the bright eyes.

"Sooo, you're not a girl, or a guy? So, what are you exactly?"

The fluff spoke.

Once again a lump got caught in your throat, though this time you pushed through it and spoke with all the confidence you've mustered up. 

"I'm- well, neither"
