"Pikapika ?" You rapped your knuckles on your boyfriend's door. It was nearing the end of the year, and you wanted to spend a little time with him before the holiday season was in full blast. His constant inner turmoil was taking a huge toll on him emotionally, and you wanted to be there for him as much as possible. You knocked again. Usually you would hear his quiet footsteps, and be greeted with a smile and a sweet kiss on the forehead, but no such thing happened. You tried the handle. To your surprise, it swung open.
"Pika you know better than this !" You pinched the bridge of your nose in false annoyance and looked to the couch expecting to see the blonde smiling back at you. Instead, you were met with silence, aside from occasional electrical hums or footsteps from the other patrons in the complex. You closed the door behind you, your brow furrowing in worry and confusion.
"Kurapika ? Don't tell me you forgot I was coming..." You trailed off, straightening out your skirt and fiddling with your hair. Was he playing a prank on you ? No, he isn't the type to do that. Did he leave to go get something ? You checked your phone for any messages, but your notifications were drier than a desert. You ventured into the tidy apartment, growing restless with each step.
"Pika, cmon. Did I do something wrong?" Nothing. You rolled your eyes and began to search the rooms. When you reached his bedroom, you lightly knocked, and pushed open the door. Immediately, a smile bloomed across your face, as you were met with a sight that made your heart melt.
Kurapika was curled up under a fluffy light blue blanket that you gave him last year, surrounded by a plethora of pillows in varying sizes. His soft blonde locks were splayed around his face, and his expression was free of any worries or stress. He looked absolutely ethereal, as the setting sun reflected on his golden hair, creating an angelic glow on his peaceful features. The part that made you almost squeal in pure delight and love was the giant white stuffed bunny nestled in his grasp. You recognized it after a second- it was your favorite plush he won for you at a fair on one of your first dates. You had instantly fallen in love with the fluffy white rabbit that had a little strawberry on its tummy. You must've left it at his apartment and forgotten about it. You crouched next to his sleeping frame, and brushed a couple golden strands away from his face, but froze when he snuffled in a deep breath and curled up tighter, the rabbit plush almost strangled in his strong grip. His eyes fluttered open, and a sleepy smile grew on his face when he saw the person which he had fallen in love with smiling back at him.
"Hey sleepyhead. Cute bunny." You tucked a lock of hair behind his ear and chuckled when you saw his eyes widen at the mention of the stuffed rabbit. He quickly scrambled to sit up, and rubbed his eyes.
"Ah, (Y/N)- I'm sorry I you caught me in such a state, I was just really ti-tired..." He stifled a yawn as he began to throw the blankets off of his thin frame. You gently laid your hand on his shoulder, and he paused.
"Pika, it's fine. I know how messed up your sleep schedule is. You should go back to sleep." He opened his mouth to protest, but you pressed a finger against his soft lips, effectively silencing him. "No ifs ands or buts, I'm gonna change out of my clothes and you better be lying down, or else." He chuckled at that. He knew you would never do anything to hurt him, but he complied. He leaned against the pillows as you rummaged through a drawer, pulling out a sweatshirt and sweatpants, careful not to mess up the rest of the contents. You held them up, as if to ask for permission if it was okay to wear, and he nodded. You grinned at him, and began to strip out of your clothes. Kurapika's eyes widened, and he pulled the blanket up over his flushed face.
"(Y/N)! G-give me a warning first!"
"What? It's nothing you haven't seen before, silly." You snickered at your boyfriend's reaction, but grabbed the pile of clothes and finished changing in the bathroom. Kurapika let out a sigh, and flopped back onto his bed. You returned to the room a couple minutes later, after putting your hair up, and washing your face. Kurapika blushed as he looked at you. It didn't matter what you were wearing, or how you looked, Kurapika was always stunned when he saw you. You gave a him a soft smile and climbed into bed next to him. He covered you with the blanket and wrapped his arms around your torso, pulling you into his body. You nestled your head into his chest, and his chin found its place on the top of your head. You began to plant sweet kisses on his collarbone, and you felt one of his hands come up to run through your hair, pulling out the tie. Your (h/l) (h/c) locks tumbled onto the pillow and Kurapika combed through them gently. You placed your hands on his strong chest, and pulled back to look at him. Your boyfriend smiled down at you, his grey eyes held nothing but love and adoration for you, and yours mirrored his.
"I love you Pika." You curled up in his arms, breathing in his scent. He lifted your chin and placed a gentle kiss on your forehead.
"I love you too, (Y/N)."

Your eyes snapped open as you woke with a jolt. You struggled to remember where you were, and tensed up. You immediately relaxed when the beams of light cast its glare on the sleeping face beside you. You gently pushed out of Kurapika's arms, and glanced at your phone.
2:47am
You sighed, and ran a hand through your hair. Quietly padding out of the room, you went to the kitchen, and poured a glass of water. Leaning against the counter, you sipped it leisurely while staring at the beautiful landscape from your boyfriends window. Finishing the water, you slipped back into the room. You froze as you were getting back into bed, as soft whimpers filled the room.
"Pika ?" You whispered almost inaudibly. Your eyes were beginning to adjust as you looked at the blonde's silhouette. He was facing away from you, and you watched his diaphram move as his breaths became labored. The whimpers grew louder, and you watched his form begin to shake and twitch. You ran around to his side of the bed, and crouched down next to him. You watched his eyebrows furrow, his face contorting into a worried expression. Mumbles slipped past his lips, but you couldn't make out any words.
"Pika ?" You gently called out again, reaching your hand out. His small whimpers turned into heaving breaths, and the small twitches grew into jolts. You were frozen, until you noticed the tears leaking from his eyes.
"Kurapika !" He shot up with a gasp, his eyes wide in fear. You placed a hand on his knee, and gently rubbed random shapes with your thumb. "Hey, it's okay. You were having a nightmare." He turned to look at you, still heaving heavy breaths, the tears never halting. He clutched the blankets in his fists, his knuckles turning white. You continued to murmur reassurances and soothing words, as you watched him calm down enough to stop shaking. He suddenly pulled you into a tight embrace, burying his face in the crook of your neck. You hugged back immediately, rocking gently side to side. He gripped onto you even tighter, his tears staining your shirt. He began to speak, but all you could hear were incoherent garbles. "Shhh. It's okay love, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere." You continued to soothe the young man until he had noticeably calmed. You gently pulled away from his tight embrace, and cupped his tear-stained cheeks. "What happened, Pika ?" He grasped your wrists, and opened his mouth, but no sound came out. "It's okay. Take your time. I'm here for you." Your thumbs stroked his cheeks, and you felt him relax under your touch.
"T-the spiders..." He finally managed to choke out. "They... they killed you right in front of me, a-a-and I couldn't move, I could only wa-watch." Your heart dropped as more tears began to spill down his cheeks. "They took everyone f-from me. Everyone I ever loved... They're all gone.." You watched him crumble as sobs racked his body. Tears of your own were streaming down your face, as he hugged you close to him. "Please... don't leave me..." He rasped into your hair. You rubbed circles on his back, hugging him just as tightly.
"I'm still here, Pika. I'll always be here." You murmured into his chest. You two stayed locked in each others embrace until you had both calmed down. As Kurapika pulled away, he cupped your face in his soft hands.
"Thank you, (Y/N). You mean so much to me and I don't know what I would do without you." You smiled at him through glossy eyes. His gaze darted to your lips, and back to your eyes. He smiled sweetly and leaned in, planting the sweetest of kisses on your lips. You wrapped your arms around his neck, and returned the kiss. You pulled apart after a few moments, just looking at each other. "I love you, (Y/N). So much."
"I love you more, Pika."
