"I'm home"

Leorio declared as he entered apartment. Nightfall began to arrive, and the smell of greasy burgers was wafting throughout the air. Kurapika looked over from his spot on the couch, inserting a bookmark to remember the page of his novel. Leorio set the paper bag on the kitchen counter, then noticed a medium, unopened box on the other side.

"Hey babe, what's the box for?"
Leorio called as the blonde approached.

"Not sure, Gon came by and said it was on the doorstep"

"Oh, Gon came over, huh?" Leorio said, suddenly concerned.

"Uh, yes," Kurapika answered "He was about to tell me something, but then Killua burst in and said they had to go, and then I heard something about it being a secret. Weird, huh?" Kurapika added.

Leorio then looked away to hide his frustration. If Kurapika found out he was about to propose, he'd be doomed, and not just because he didn't know how he'd do it yet...

Meanwhile, Kurapika's suspicions began to rise. First, Gon comes by, and almost tells a secret. Then Leorio won't even look at him. He didn't realize, but he unknowingly knitted his eyebrows into a frown.

"What's wrong, sunshine?" Leorio asked, grabbing the burgers and fries from the bag.

"Nothing" Kurapika said, sitting down.

"So.. that QnA thing we went on sure was fun, huh?" Leorio said in an attempt to start a conversation.

"Yeah," Kurapika acknowledged. "That host really was something"

"Eh, I liked him. Nice energy. And those questions. I didn't know you played any instruments"

"And I didn't know I sneezed like a girl." Kurapika flushed

"Oh c'mon, I think it's cute! Besides, you're the one who calls me beanpole!"

"It's just a joke, Leorio!"

"Yeah, we'll you take too long in the bathroom!" Leorio yelled

"What does that have to do with anything?!" Kurapika stood up, denying himself of his food.

"Sleep on the couch tonight."

Kurapika then walked calmly towards his shared bedroom,(only, it wasn't going to be shared tonight)  and slammed the door.

Leorio sat there, still trying to contemplate what just happened. Suddenly, he felt a vibration coming from his pocket. A call from Zepile lit up his phone. With a sigh, he held the phone up to his ear, and accepted the call.

"Hey, Zepile"

"Leorio!" Zepile exclaimed from the other end of the line. "I found something that you might be interested in. I'm sending a video now"

Zepile then hung up, and then a video popped up on their recent messages.

It was a zoomed in video, pretty poor quality, but you could tell that it was two men. Leorio squinted as one man pointed over at something in the sky. The camera was then jerked towards the sky, and the words Will you share my life with me, Abe? Drawn with a sky written and a heart at the end. That's all that was seen, because the camera was turned around to Zepile's face.

Yeah, did you see that man? Try something like tha- oh sh-

The video ended with a blurry shot of the phone falling somewhere. Possibly stairs.

Leorio set his phone down on the table, and began to set up his makeshift bed. Luckily, Kurapika had chosen a pull out couch for movie nights. It was unfortunate that tonight, there will be no movies. Hours passed, and Leorio had been switching the channels on the tv, and had found nothing amusing enough to make him forget. His mind swirled with regret, he couldn't believe he tried to pick a fight over something so insignificant. Regretting his choice already, leorio got up, walked over to the kitchen cupboards, picked up the key from under the toaster, and unlocked the liquor cabinet. He grabbed a bottle, which he assumed was wine, and poured himself a glass in the light of the tv.

Kurapika on the other hand, was swimming in his own regret. He too couldn't believe he fought over something so inferior. He tossed and turn in a desperate attempt to fall asleep, but failed. Hours passed, and he realized that the living room light was off. Was Leorio asleep? Of course, he thought. It was nearly one in the morning. Still, Kurapika decided it was best to check. To.. turn off the tv.

What awaited him, however, he did not expect. A half empty bottle of wine sat still on the counter, and leorio had some of its contents in a glass on the couch. Kurapika could not tell if had had drank that much all by himself, but just to be sure, he put the cork back on the bottle, and set it back in the liquor cabinet.

"Hey," Leorio called " I wasn't done with that, y'know"

"How much wine did you drink, Leorio?"

"How'm I supposed to know?"

"I think you had enough"

Kurapika walked over to leorio in an attempt to retrace the wine gloss, but Leorio, as drunk as he was, was able to pull the wine glass far enough for Kurapika to lean over and fall over him. Kurapika rolled his eyes at Leorio's mundane attempt at romance. However, despite his annoyance, felt himself blush.

"Leorio" Kurapika got up off his stomach. "Are you still upset at me?" Leorio put his arm around Kurapika.

"Nah, I can never stay mad at you, Sunshine" Leorio tried to mask his slurring.

"Okay" Kurapika shifted closer to the taller man.

"Y'know...." Leorio started "We've been together for quite some time, huh?"

"Yes. We've been through quite a lot"

"I uh, never thought I'd say this but... Mi amor, te casarias conmigo?"

Kurapika spaced out for a second, then remembered that leorio had a tendency to switch to Spanish whenever he was drunk. So for such occasions, Kurapika had been taking Spanish lessons so he could understand what Leorio says.

Okay, he thought. I know that amor means love... te casarias conmigo... oh, I'm not that advanced yet...

Kurapikas thought train was interrupted by the tv suddenly playing a trailer for some Telenovela. Women in beautiful dresses were yelling at each other, then a cut shot to a man and a woman on a breathtaking patio set up behind a sunset. Underneath, the subtitles read Eliza, my love. Will you make me the happiest man alive by sharing my life with me.. Will you marry me?

Te casarias conmigo?

wait....
