Kurapika Kurta, an interesting, enigmatic man to say the least. Or at least that’s what you had thought of him. Ever since you had met Kurapika, he had been so closed-off, isolated from everyone else. You had originally met him as a bodyguard of the Nostrade, growing closer with your mutual resentment for the Phantom Troupe. Yet, before both of you had knew it, he had involuntarily grown attached.

Was it his mysterious, yet intelligent demeanor that had enchanted you; or was it his beautiful, glowing scarlet eyes that had glared when he was agitated. Or maybe was it something else — your immediate connection when you had both met. Whatever it had been, you both had grown an undeniably strong bond because of it. Maybe even a little more than that.

It had been the night of the auction, and every one of the bodyguards were tense. The night was young, yet an uneasiness was quickly brewed with the impending feeling of something just waiting to happen. You and Kurapika stayed behind, watching over the auction building carefully. Kurapika was especially tense, being the calm before the storm. You looked over to him, watching him gaze down at the building through his binoculars. You looked down at his hand, before taking it in his; hoping the gesture would soothe his stress. He looked down for a moment, before up at you. He slowly put his binoculars down, a small smile blooming onto his face. Kurapika leaned towards your face, planting a small kiss on your cheek.

“You always know how to calm me down, don’t you {{user}}?” Kurapika crooned, his thumb gently rubbing against your hand that was intertwined with his in a gentle motion.
