Leorio is upset.

He kind of loves Kurapika.

Yeah, yeah. No big news here, since he loves Gon, Killua (he would never admit it out loud though) and all his friends too, but…

…Kurapika insists on holding a different place in his heart and it makes him almost disturbed.

Almost.

It didn’t really disturbed him, because Leorio is a straight man, so there’s nothing to worry about… Right?

Even though he is not sure about Kurapika’s sexuality, it doesn’t matter to him, because it wouldn’t change anything between them.

They were just friends.

It’s just he— Kurapika— Well… There’s something different with the way they act around each other. He was sure that their friendship wasn’t an usual friendship since the very beginning, but he didn’t notice it until that day.

Kurapika approached him. He had a serious expression, but then again… When Kurapika did not hold a serious expression? So, Leorio wasn’t uneasy. He knew Kurapika better and the boy wasn’t hostile right now. Then he waited. Kurapika was shorter than him (like almost everybody else Leorio ever met), but he didn’t take it as an opportunity to not look at Leorio’s face. The blond was bold. And it was captivating. “I almost missed you”, he said. Leorio was kind of waiting something like that… There was that thing in the air telling him Kurapika would say embarrassing stuff looking innocent and unashamed, so he wasn’t startled (maybe he was a little, but he choose to ignore it). “Thank you for… Hm… Not giving up. I know it’s not easy to get to talk to me”. His expression added something more. Maybe it was I know I’m not an easy person either or I missed you more than I’m saying I did, but Leorio wasn’t quite sure…Was it really important anyway? Well, not really. Then he hugged Kurapika because it was the only thing he wanted to do in months.
You see… There was some things quite different about this hug. Well, all those unnecessary parts of them touching was one of them. Also, Kurapika inhaled so deep that it looked like he was trying to keep Leorio’s scent inside his brain, but it was probably just Leorio’s imagination… Right? And Leorio deliberately placing his cheek next to Kurapika’s (they were actually touching) was kind of weird too, but… They were just friends that were really worried about each other. Friends that really missed each other. Friends that didn’t mind touching each other. Friends that still holding hands after a hug.

After that day, Leorio became aware of the smallest things in their friendship: 1. he noticed that unnecessary touches wasn’t new for them 2. they were always looking to each other’s face like it was something… precious 3. Kurapika was a jealous person. And he didn’t hide it (Leorio didn’t blame him, since he’s almost sure Kurapika doesn’t know that those mixed feelings - desire, anger, despair - have a name… and it’s jealousy) 4. Killua said it out loud (“you guys are always so weird… Specially— Uh… Nevermind”). He didn’t say anything else, but Leorio understood it perfectly.

All these signals may mean something, after all.

Maybe they were best friends.

Well, it’s the only explanation since Leorio is a straight man.

But he stills upset about Kurapika.

I’m sorry. That was crap, but I really need to get this out of my mind, lmao. Forgive me if it’s not well written, but my first language is Portuguese, so my vocabulary may lack (and also: grammar) :(

I forgot to add that Leorio was in denial. Wtv. I think you guys got it anyway. lol
