Warmth.

A feeling that Kurapika longed for. The warmth of another person.

But, at the moment, the source of the warmth was the warm water raining on him from the shower. He sighed, letting the water run down his body, dowsing his hair, it now just a yellow blanket on his head. His eyes were half lidded. Showers always calmed him down. Blood and dirt mixed together as they went down the drain. He thought he fatally wounded Shalnark, blood had seeped through his clothes. But, the other blonde boy had plans. That was, of giving Kura a nice gash across his left leg before fleeing. A phantom troupe member alone, in a city this big? Kurapika was suspicious, there could be more around.

Kurapika shook his head, trying to clear his head. That was the entire point of a shower, wasn't it? But, he was horrified that his domestic life with his boyfriend and friends might come to an abrupt end.

"I just...hope they do not injure anyone but me." He mutters. The hot water still drenching his battle worn body. With a bit of soap, every trace of today's battle was washed down the drain. Hopefully, out of memory.

In all of this, Kura thought he heard...something. Just something. Sneaking around where it shouldn't be. He was noticeably nervous.

The creak of a door. Kura tries to ignore it. Until he realizes it was the bathroom door. He sees a shadowy figure outside his shower curtain. This could be the end of his life right here, defenseless, and in the shower. How anticlimactic.

He presses his back again the shower walls, desperately trying to conceal his aura. He sees a hand, as it starts to pull back the shower curtain. Kura was frozen. Until the figure came into view.

"Ohoho, what do we have here?" A familiar voice teases. "L-leorio!" Kura feels his face go hot, as the man scans his body. "W-what are you starring at? You've seen me naked before." Kurapika glares. "Just admiring your stunning beaut-" Leo is cut off by a shampoo bottle being flung at him. He duck just in time, and laughs, starting to turn around and leave. "I-Idiot! Pervert!" Kura shouted in frustration as the door shut. "You scared me half to death!" He yells as he roughly shuts off the water, slinging a towel around his lower body.

The cold air hit him like 10 frozen sperm whales.

Frozen.
