Title: While You Were in the Bathroom
Fandom: Hunter x Hunter
Characters: Leorio, Kurapica
Genre: Humour, I guess, with a hint of Leorio/Kurapica.
Spoilers: York Shin arc
Summary: Leorio waits for Kurapica to put on his "disguise." Yeah, you know what kind of disguise I'm talking about.

While You Were in the Bathroom

While he was waiting for Kurapica to come out of the bathroom, it occurred to Leorio that some things had changed very much in their little group since coming to York Shin--

the lingering coldness in Kurapica's eyes, the chains that rattled a death knell from his fingers, the terrible fury that seeped from him like blood

--but it also occurred to Leorio that some things had changed not at all.

Things like: Hisoka was by all accounts still a bad, bad man who liked hanging around little boys way too much (Leorio hung around them too, but it was different), everyone and his dog still wanted to kill their little group (for various reasons, all valid), Gon and Killua still seemed to share one brain (a very childish brain at that), and Gon and Killua were still completely comfortable with each other, just like how Leorio was almost completely comfortable with Kurapika except that he was constantly afraid that Kurapica would punch him in the face for lack of modesty or whatever it was that had gotten him punched in the face the last time they'd roomed together (what the hell had that been about anyway?).

It didn't help Leorio's nerves that Kurapica was getting dressed up as a girl right now. Leorio had had to bite his tongue several times when Kurapica had brought up his idea of a disguise.

"That won't work, you always look like a girl anyway."

"Watch out, you might get sexually harrassed more than usual."

"Gosh, I never knew you were that way, but whatever floats your boat."

He had really, really wanted to say a lot of things that would have gotten him killed.

Then Kurapika stepped out of the bathroom, nervously adjusting his long wig and tight shirt, and asked, "Well, do I look convincing?"

Leorio was an honest man; he couldn't hold it back any longer.

"You would, if one of your boobs wasn't bigger than the other. But you're still pretty hot."

And as Kurapica's right fist came at him, nen-chains at all, Leorio decided that it was the truly important things that stayed the same.

That's so funny and all the stuff he's thinking about is completely true but "Hisoka was by all accounts still a bad, bad man who liked hanging around little boys way too much (Leorio hung around them too, but it was different)" is far too brilliant and overshadows all the serious stuff. XD

Thanks! You flatter me too much. :)

It just floors me that Hisoka is allowed to run amok in a shounen anime. Floors me.
