Pakunoda
"Get up."
"What?" You drawled, slowly becoming aware of your surroundings.
"I said get up." You didn't even register a bundle of clothes hitting you square in the face until impact. You squeaked, feeling more awake, scowling as you pulled the clothes away to free your vision.
"Why I ought to- Paku?" Your threat died instantly upon seeing her with her hands on her hips staring at you expectantly.
"Well? Get up, those clothes aren't going to wear themselves." She folded her arms across her chest and waited.
"I don't want you." You huffed.
"I don't care." She countered.
"Why are you making me get up and get dressed." You whined.
"Because I am going to show you that you don't need a man to make you happy, Y/N. Especially someone like Chrollo. Stop letting him dictate your life and get off your ass. We're going out." She turned to leave and you opened your mouth to protest.
"No buts! If you're not in this hallway in three minutes I will come back." She paused by the door.
"And believe me you don't want to find out what happens if you're not in the hallway." She left after that, allowing you some privacy to get changed as you couldn't help the heat that crept up your cheeks.
Since when did Pakunoda get so demanding and feisty... and why was it so damn attractive?
You cursed her, brushing your hair out and dressing yourself before moving to go out into the hallway. She was waiting for you, carrying a backpack on her as she turned to look at you.
"Ah good, you had ten more seconds before I was coming back in there." She hummed before leading you outside. You stumbled after her without another word, letting her guide the way.
Soon, you found yourself back at the waterfall where she told you to strip.
"You just told me to get dressed!" You whined, but doing what she said nonetheless.
"Wash your worries away, Y/N." She hummed, moving to sink into the water, enjoying the ambient sounds of the waterfall.
You moved next to her, sitting on a slab of smooth stone that jutted out from the pool of water, letting the running water flow over your skin.
"I still don't understand why we're here." You sighed and she took a moment to pause before grabbing your hands in her own.
"I know what happened with Chrollo is difficult. He's a massive asshole for dropping things like that. But you losing your job isn't the end for you. You will bounce back and get back on your feet again. I know you will. And I want to be there to help you. I want to see you succeed." She gave a small smile, brushing your hair from your flushed cheeks.
"Even if I'm a mess?" You laughed lightly and she grinned.
"Yes, even if you're a mess. In fact, we can be a mess together." She chuckled and you tilted your head.
"What do you mean?" Pakunoda paused for a moment.
"I mean, I quit. I don't want to be part of this lifestyle anymore. Chrollo has done so much for me but I can't ignore my feelings for you any longer... and I hope that you are also feeling the same as me?" She admitted shyly and your eyes widened before you pounced on her, kissing her deeply. She was taken back for a moment before returning the kiss, laughing against your lips.
"I shall take that as a yes?" She grinned and you nodded quickly.
"Yes! God, you're perfect." You bit your lip, closing your eyes as she pressed your foreheads together.
"No, the perfect one would be you."
