Kurapika had been your close friend for years now, and the two of you had even shared a few soft kisses before parting ways.

It was clear you both loved each other dearly, but Kurapika’s mission to take back the scarlet eyes of his people and to have his revenge against the phantom troupe always came before you… and it broke your heart.

You were just friends… that’s all he could allow you to be. If the two of you got any closer, he might not be able to leave your side for even a second.

He came to you often, bloodied and broken after fights with the mafia or battles to obtain the scarlet eyes, longing for your care and comfort. It was all you could do to not cry seeing him in such a state.

Kurapika was so kind that it hurt, but so angry and violent at times that you forgot the sweet boy under all that heartache and fear. He would yell, cry, distance himself from you during fits of depression… yet you had stayed by his side despite it all.

He knew you were too good for him, that you deserved a someone that could treat you right and give you the world…

But that didn’t stop him from making his way to your home after an intense battle, a trail of blood following him as he struggled to reach your door.
