Chapter 25 Kurapika's Thoughts
Chapter 25 Kurapika's Thoughts
Kurapika opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. The pattern on the ceiling was not the one he was familiar with, but he was used to it.When was the last time you stayed in the same room for more than a year?Possibly before the clan was slaughtered and he was still living in that beautiful home.Kurapika frowned, now that he was in this place, traveling with a deadly enemy, but that anger seemed to be nowhere to be found.No, when he looked at Kuroro, he felt... confused ----- if Kurapika admitted it ----- confused, suspicious and a little bit lost.His mind kept going back and forth, entangled in the three questions of "why", "how" and "what".Kurapika was tired, he wished he could still feel the anger, he never thought that anger could turn into loss and sadness.But when he wanted to reach the flame that should exist in his heart, all he could find was endless emptiness.
Kurapika was tired, very, very tired.Disgusted by his own thoughts of self-pity and self-pity, he pushed aside the thoughts in his mind, and Kurapika stood up and sighed softly, letting a hand run through his hair, sweeping his bangs back from his forehead.He closed his eyes, forced himself to take a deep breath, then lowered his head, let his arms fall limply on the bed, and opened his eyes again.Kurapika stared at the hands on his thighs for a while, making sure he had the energy for today.
Kurapika needs to meditate, and he hasn't done it in a long time.He's going to find himself again, but first he needs a shower.Kurapika finally slid out of the covers and stood up.He stretched his body to relax his muscles, then sighed and walked slowly to get the suitcase from Kuroro at the airport. Fortunately, there were clothes stolen for him by the knight.It seemed like a lifetime since the last time he saw other spiders, and Kurapika grabbed a new set of clean clothes and went into the bathroom, as for some reason, taking a shower didn't help him at all.It used to make the boy feel comfortable and relaxed, but it was like a frantic fight was going on in his head, with different thoughts bouncing back and forth between Kurapika and leaving him still very tired when he got out of the tub.
He dried himself quickly, not minding the redness of the rough movement.He started to feel angry with himself.Kurapika wiped off the sweat and put on a set of baggy jeans, a shirt and a hooded sweatshirt.When he was done he brushed his teeth before going back to his room, where he sat on the bed, crossed his legs, and relaxed with his hands folded in his thighs.Kurapika took a slow breath, trying to clear his mind and all conflicting emotions.He exhaled that breath, letting worry and tension out of his body through his mouth.Breathing in and out, like the waves of the ocean, different things come and go, but nothing stays there forever.
It took him a while to feel he could stop.Kurapika opened his eyes and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was just after 9 o'clock. He tilted his head, trying to hear if the spider leader had woken up, but he couldn't hear anything ----- It was very quiet outside .Kurapika was careful not to make any noise, he quietly opened the door and looked at the living room, the living room was empty, he waited for a while, but still could not hear a sound from Kuroro's room.The door of Kuroro's room opened slightly, but Kurapika didn't have the courage to push it, he was afraid that he would wake up the sleeping man.Kurapika looked towards the bed in the room, Kuroro's back was facing the door, but he still seemed to be fast asleep.Kurapika stood there quietly, looking at the sleeping person on the bed.He wasn't sure why he did it, but something made him do it.The head spider on the bed moved suddenly, and Kurapika froze immediately, breathing heavily.Kuroro didn't wake up, and Kurapika stepped back carefully this time and walked to the coffee machine.He stood in front of the coffee machine, staring at the boiling brown liquid slowly dripping into the glass jug.The teenager frowned, wondering what forced him to go to the spider leader's room.Curious ----- must be.He didn't know that he would care about the other party.
Ah, everything is puzzling.
Even though the coffee wasn't ready yet, Kurapika took out a mug from the cupboard.The coffee dripped into the coffee pot. He poured the milk provided by the hotel into the mug, poured the coffee into the mug and stirred it with a spoon. The boy took a sip of the coffee.Instead of going to the small table in the kitchen, he sat on the sofa, bent slightly and took the booklet on the coffee table.Kurapika sat comfortably on the sofa and took another sip of coffee. He opened the brochure on his lap, and read the tourist attractions introduced in it. Kurapika was not really interested in Merenke's attractions, he just Want to focus your attention on other things.On the third page, he found that someone had made notes on it with a blue ballpoint pen, and he read the short notes. It seemed that a small museum in the city would have some exhibits, and it looked like it would be very interesting.Kurapika took a sip of his coffee and continued to turn the pages. He found another circled attraction, this time a special exhibit at the planetarium about the recently discovered mysteries of the universe, as well as showing images taken by exploration instruments. Photos and Videos ----- This sounds equally interesting, no matter which tourist spots are chosen, the man has the same interests as Kurapika.
He took another sip of coffee and glanced at the wall clock. It was almost ten o'clock. Kurapika looked back at the brochure and found two other places that were circled. One was a lecture given by a coastal biologist at the aquarium. , and the other is that the National Library claims to have a collection of ancient documents and scrolls.Kurapika finished his coffee, got up and went to the kitchen to get another cup for himself, he had no food for breakfast, it was all packed away in Kuroro's handy nian wrap.He wondered if he could go down to the hotel restaurant on the first floor -- probably not.Kurapika returned to the room with the coffee, sat in a luxurious armchair and read the book that Kuroro lent him.He couldn't even notice the time, and it was clear that Chief Spider had excellent taste in books.When Kurapika finished the book, he closed it and stretched and looked at the alarm clock, it was already noon, but there was still no sound from the other room -- it was strange.Kurapika's stomach was protesting, or he could go downstairs to the coffee shop and get some refreshments, but he wasn't sure he had the right to do so.
He decided to check on his travel companion again, and if he was still sleeping, Kurapika would risk leaving him a note and going out.Kurapika crossed the living room to the door of Kuroro's room, this time he pushed the door lightly and stepped in silently like a cat.He quietly walked to the side where Kuroro was facing outwards, the other party was still sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, he put one hand under the pillow and the other on his chest, he looked very young, hard It is believed that this man is the most cruel and powerful brigade leader.Kurapika stood by the bed, wondering what he should do so as not to provoke him.Well, Kuroro fell asleep and Kurapika was getting hungry.He turned around to go to the door, when suddenly something warm wrapped around his waist and pulled Kurapika back, he stopped and looked back at the spider leader, and found that the other's unreadable, midnight-colored eyes had opened And look straight at yourself.Kurapika's heart was beating violently in his chest because he mistakenly thought that Kuroro was still asleep but suddenly touched him.
"Good morning," Kuroro said, looking straight into Kurapika's face.
"Good morning." Kurapika replied uncertainly, "I'm sorry if I woke you up."
"I just felt someone walk into my room, I didn't know it was you, but I woke up, what time is it?"
"12:30." Kurapika said moving his arm, trying to struggle to free Kuroro's hand around his waist, but the opponent tightened the strength of his arm even faster. "I'll see if you're awake, I'm not sure if I can go downstairs and buy breakfast without my permission."
"Are you hungry?" Kurapika nodded, the spider boss sat up and pulled him towards him as if he wanted the boy to get closer to him, Kurapika refused to move, finally Kuroro let go, Kurapika hurried back off.He wanted to wipe off the heat on his waist that didn't belong to him, he didn't know why the touch annoyed him, but Kurapika didn't want Kuroro to know what he thought about the contact just now, so he stopped himself The urge to caress my upper waist. "I'm going to take a shower, and then I'll go downstairs to buy breakfast, can you wait for me for a while?"
Kurapika nodded, then went back to the living room to sit on the sofa, and finally touched his waist obediently.Even though Kuroro wasn't in the same room as him, the boy was still upset and nervous -- and that annoyed Kurapika.Kuroro's strange actions these days are disturbing Kurapika. Kurapika doesn't want the spider leader to affect him. He has such a deep influence, but Kuruta boy is unable to stop him at the same time.Because in the end, it's all Kuroro that made Kurapika go from years ago to where he is today.The rigorous training, pushing his body, fitness and endurance to the limit, all for revenge.In other words, Kuroro had more influence on Kurapika than the boy had on Spider-Boss.Even if Kurapika captures Kuroro, the other party looks calm.
That still made him nervous.
He knew that defeating Kuroro could no longer satisfy him, he wanted to see the other party lose control, he wanted to see him feel a little uncertain, and he wanted to see him show an expression other than joy and confidence.Kurapika didn't know very well, that man certainly wouldn't have anything to fear, would he feel angry?Annoyed?Can he feel other things?
"Are you ready?"
Kurapika jumped in fright, he couldn't hear Kuroro's footsteps walking behind at all, when he turned to look at him, Kurapika frowned, "You should dry your hair."
"You're hungry, aren't you? I can come back and dry it off, we're only going out for a while."
Kurapika shrugged, "I can wait a few more minutes."
"Okay, I'm out now, and it hurts me to notice that wet hair again. Come on, let's go." Kuroro walked to the door, Kurapika sighed and followed him.They walked towards the hotel lobby and entered the small coffee shop next to the entrance.They bought some pastries for breakfast and sandwiches for dinner.Then they went back to his suite, and Kurapika wanted to walk back to his room right away, but he didn't think it was polite to just take the food that the spider leader bought and start a meeting.He turned on the coffee pot, made three cups of coffee for Kuroro and saved one for himself.They ate their brunch quietly, and Kurapika wished he could go back to his room immediately after eating, but Kuroro returned to the table after refilling a cup of coffee, and put the booklet Kurapika read this morning on the table. on the table. "We're going sightseeing tomorrow." He said to the boy, "I've circled some places that I think will be interesting. Can you see which places you want to visit?"
Kurapika blinked, "Are you saying...you're the one who circled these spots?"
Kuroro sat across from the boy: "You already watched it? I recorded it last night, so is there any place you want to go tomorrow?"
"Planetarium and library, I guess, but they both sound interesting."
Kuroro nodded, "We can visit the library in the afternoon, and then go to the planetarium in the evening."
"Okay." Kurapika said, pushing the booklet away. He stood up and put the plates and mugs in the sink for a quick wash. When he was done, he turned and walked to the table, only to find that the spider boss was staring at him again.He paused, wondering what to do next.He hated the way Kuroro stared at him, it made his nerves tense.Kurapika avoided Kuroro's gaze. "I'm going back to my room." He looked over the table, feeling the weight of the spider head's gaze on him, but Kurapika refused to look at him.He suddenly wanted to run away, but controlled himself as he walked back into the room.Only when he closed the door and separated himself from the black-haired man, did Kurapika feel calm again.He took a deep breath, held it, and let it out slowly.
The next day will be an extremely difficult day. (The next day┅was going to be hell.)
