((I'm submitting this a tad bit early for his birthday while I have a bit of downtime to get it done!))
After Haru’s been formally introduced to the Nostrade, Haru had found herself frequenting the mansion somewhat frequently- sometimes to deliver information and other times to check in on him. Both of which resulted in her spending time with him, so that was a win-win in her book.
Today, of course, was because it was Kurapika’s birthday, and she’d be remiss to not do something about it. Understandably, he couldn’t pull himself from work today to meet outside, so Haru decided to clear time in her schedule to make a visit. One of the maids brought her to his office, and Haru walks in after getting the okay to come in.
“Sorry, Haru was a little late,” she is fumbling through her bag to pull a few things out, a pair of glasses, a folder, and a small, wrapped package. “Haru was going over one of the reports and caught a few mistakes, and she wanted to fix them before coming over,” she then slips her coat off her shoulders and neatly folds it before setting it on the couch. Underneath her coat she was wearing a white button-up blouse and a black pencil skirt.
Did Haru know what she was doing? The glasses and the black stockings would denote: yes. The bold red lip and the red nail polish were because she noticed that he liked the color. Glasses now sitting atop the bridge of her nose, she flips through some papers in her folder, “by my estimations, though we’re still on track to meet the quarter term goals, achieving the stretch goals would be optimistic thinking.” Resting up against the arm of the couch, she crossed one leg over the other, something she could do with ease because there were slits on either side of the skirt to allow that much movement.
Of course, this would also just slightly reveal that the black stockings she was wearing were lacy thigh-highs held up with a garter belt. “If there is no delay with the ES&L project, then those sales can count towards NPS to bolster the earnings for the first half of the year, which should keep things on track.”
Her heels clicked against the floor rhythmically as she approached his desk, placing the wrapped box on his desk. “Of course, you didn’t think I forgot about your birthday, did you, sir?” She whispers into his ear. “What kind of secretary would I be if I’d forgotten?” Inside the box were two handkerchiefs. One was a red could use to decorate his suits for formal occasions. A pop of color always looked nice, and the other was a blue one that she’d embroidered red roses onto, because she’s always found herself thinking of Kurapika when she saw red roses. “Though… Haru does admit she’s in the wrong for being late today,” she leans against the edge of the desk, “will you be punishing Haru for that, sir? Haru will listen to whatever you say~”
Kurapika's birthday 2k26!
Kurapika's fingers were flying across his laptop keyboard when Haru announced her entrance. At first, he didn't turn to look at her, but a moment later, as she was already taking off her coat, he glanced at her and returned to his laptop. His return to the screen lasted only a fleeting moment, however, as he quickly turned back to look at her, noticing what she was wearing under her coat.
Kurapika saved the document without even looking at the screen; now his eyes were fixed on her, on her crossed legs, on her garter belt. Kurapika said nothing, his expression as unreadable as ever, as he removed his reading glasses and stored them in a drawer in his desk.
Leaning slightly across his desk, Kurapika listened to her words, followed her every move, a slow, deliberate sigh escaping his lungs as she whispered in his ear. His eyes took her in completely as she leaned on the desk, from her glasses to her high heels and back again. There was a soft glimmer of approval in his eyes.
Without a word, Kurapika rose from his seat and walked to his office door. His movements were precise and effortless, almost rehearsed, as he locked it.
Kurapika turned to face her, now approaching her again.
"Clever move, Miss Miura" he said in a calm, almost controlled voice, though his eyes now reflected a mixture of amusement and desire. A hand 'accidentally' brushed against the hem of her skirt, his fingers barely touching the edge of her stockings and the elastic of her garter belt, leaving a soft, ghostly trace along her thigh. "So this is your strategy to get me to stop thinking about work for a while?" His hand, not so accidentally, moved up her thigh, slowly, his fingers gently pressing into her flesh as it ascended. "Very well, then, you have my full attention now."
Kurapika moved a little closer to her, their bodies separated by mere millimeters. "Your punishment..." Kurapika's gaze flicked for a moment to ensure the window was also closed with curtains before returning to Haru. His voice was soft, yet somewhat deep, with an intimate tone, the way he would only speak to her. "...will be to make up for your lateness. You'll be staying late with me today, sorting out the paperwork." He carefully removed his hand from her thigh before resting it on her hip, over her skirt.
"Any objections?" Kurapika whispered, his breath gently brushing against her lips, as if he needed a second confirmation that they were on the same tune.
