Leopika Teacher AU

{2}

Kurapika's alarm went off at four a.m. He groaned as he turned to turn it off. In the other bed, Leorio groaned too. "You want to get in the shower first this morning," he asked. Kurapika looked over, "Sure." He slowly climbed out of bed and walked over to the dresser. He bent over to the third drawer from the floor. From his bed, Leorio watched his friend. More specifically, a certain part of him.

Kurapika pulled out a red sweater and black jeans. He walked into the bathroom to take a shower. He turned on the shower to hot water and climbed in. As he was soaking himself he heard the door open. "Get out," he said.

Leorio sighed. "I'm just using the bathroom," he said. "Don't worry." Kurapika frowned. "I am worried," he said. "I can see your outline. Which means you can see mine. So get out." Leorio chuckled. "I won't look at the shower," he replied. "And you don't look at me." Kurapika gulped. "Whatever," he said.

After Leorio left the room Kurapika climbed out of the shower. He dried himself and went to get his clothes. But realized they weren't where he left them.

"Leorio," Kurapika called. "Where are my clothes?" He could hear Leorio laugh from the other room. "I don't know," he replied jokingly. "Find 'em." Kurapika let out a distressed sigh. Reluctantly, he wrapped his towel around his whole body and walked out of the bathroom.

Leorio laughed. "Look at you," he said. "All wrapped up in your towel like a girl. With your hair all pretty and soaked." Kurapika was not amused. He would've crossed his arms but one of his hands was holding the towel up. "Where are my clothes, Leorio," he asked. "I need them." "I don't know," Leorio sarcastically said. "Weren't they in the bathroom?" "You took them," Kurapika huffed.

Leorio gave him a puzzled look. "Did I?" he asked. Kurapika stomped his foot. "Yes," he yelled but not loud enough to wake anyone. "And I need them so you can get in the shower! And when it's time we can wake up our group!"

Leorio set down the book he was "reading". "Fine," he said, reaching behind the pillow he was leaning on."Come and get them." He waved the red sweater and black jeans in the air.

Kurapika huffed and ran to Leorio. Leorio was now standing, holding the clothing up in the air. Kurapika felt awkward getting so close to Leorio, especially since he was only in a towel. He jumped up, trying to grab the clothes but he couldn't reach. He was so close to getting them.

"I bet you've done this before," Kurapika said. "On a bunch of women. But jokes on you, I just look like a girl, I don't have a tits!" Leorio laughed. "I know," he said with a smirk. "It's just entertaining to watch you struggle. And to hear you whining."

Kurapika jumped up again. "Leorio," he whined. "Please give me my clothes! Stop acting like this, you're an adult!" Leorio smiled. "Nope," he replied. "This is fun to watch." "My towel is going to fall off!" "Then fix it. Or continue to jump and let it fall off."

Kurapika sighed and jumped into his bed. "Whatever," he mumbled. Leorio walked to the bathroom and threw the clothes at Kurapika. "Get dressed Sunshine," he said. "It's almost seven-thirty."

Kurapika knocked on the last room. "Get up," he said. "It's time to get dressed." He walked away when he could hear rustling from inside the room.

"You got to the last room?" Leorio walked up to Kurapika and asked. Kurapika crossed his arms and walked away. "I take that as a yes," Leorio said as he followed them. "Look Kurapika, I get that you're still mad at me for this morning. But I'm sorry. And it was kind of funny." Kurapika turned to him. "It was not funny," he replied. "It was embarrassing."

Leorio smirked. "It was kind of funny," he said. "You're just so short. And I took advantage of it for my entertainment." Kurapika let out a deep breath. "Is that an apology or are you trying to defend yourself," he asked. Leorio fell silent. "I don't know," he mumbled. Kurapika nodded. "Exactly."

Breakfast was boring. Barely anyone was talking. They were eating in silence, most likely because they had to wake up early. Kurapika didn't understand why, he woke up at four and then had to fight over some clothes for twenty minutes.

To break the silence, Gon looked over at Kurapika and Leorio. "Hey, Mr. Kurta," he said, gaining attention. "What are we doing today?" "Oh, uhm," Kurapika started in a tired voice. "I believe we are going to the aquarium. So if you want any souvenirs I expect you to bring your own money. Today counts as day one by the way. So you won't be getting back until Monday."

As more time passed, the kids began to wake up. And by the end of breakfast, everyone was talking excitedly. The aquarium was stirring up some conversation.

"Okay, everyone," Leorio said as he stood. "If you need to get anything before we leave, go now. Everyone else go out to the bus with Mr. Kurta." Kurapika stood and walked outside with fifteen out of twenty kids following him.

Leorio stayed inside, waiting for the rest of the kids. When they came back, everyone else walked out to the bus.

"Kids," Kurapika said. "Please calm down! I need you to calm down. The aquarium is twenty minutes away. You can talk when we get there!" This time, the group listened and became quiet, though they were still talking.

Kurapika sat in the seat across from Leorio. He was still mad at him. For such a little joke. A joke that included nudity but it was still a joke. It didn't matter if they were on a work trip. It was a harmless joke.

The bus pulled up at the aquarium making the kids cheer. Kurapika, who decided to take a nap, jolted awake at the noise. "We're here already," he asked with a yawn. "Yeah, we are," Leorio replied. "Now get up Sleeping Beauty." The kids who heard this comment laughed. Kurapika glared at Leorio again.

Everyone lined up against the side of the bus for a headcount. "...Twenty!" Kurapika finished counting. "Okay, everyone! Let's go on in. We don't have a specific tour as the interactive set up is educational itself." "Good," Leorio said. "I guess that means everyone can go off with their partners!" "What no-" "Just find a map and meet in the cafeteria at lunchtime! Which is twelve by the way."

Before Kurapika could say anything, the students ran off. Kurapika looked up at Leorio. "Are you serious!" he exclaimed. "You can't let them run off by themselves! That's terrible! What if someone gets kidnapped or something? Pedophiles! Sex trafficking!"

Leorio rolled his eyes. "Yeah, whatever," he said. "I'm sure they'll be fine." Kurapika stared at him in disbelief. How did he still have this job?
