Summary
Kurapika was through with fighting this. He had paid his dues in the ring, and he was done. He tried, god, he really tried, but he was so fucking tired.
It was just so, laughably unfortunate that the only person who could make it better was the last one he ever wanted to see again.
He took a drag anyway. Let Chrollo hand-feed him his own demise. Because he wanted to be high more than he didn’t want to fall back into bed with the worst thing that had ever happened to him, and really, that was the entire fucking problem in the first place, wasn’t it?

Summary
Kurapika just wanted to celebrate his birthday in peace, away from the man he was decidedly not talking to right now. But nothing was ever easy, was it?
Unfortunately, Kurapika seemed to have a sixth sense for bullshit, or something, because he felt the pit in his stomach even before his eyes were drawn to the crowd by the door—and sure enough, stood taller than most of those around him, exuding the kind of energy that attracted certain people and repelled others, there he was. Chrollo.
His eyes were locked on to Kurapika's. They both had a sense for each other, it seemed. If Chrollo could attract anyone, Kurapika seemed to have a unique talent in that he was the only one who could attract him right back. A matching set of magnets. Opposite poles. What he wouldn't give, to have both of them set to north, and make all contact impossible.

Summary
Kurapika was determined to get sober, this time. He was willing to put in the work, go to meetings, actually try. He couldn't keep going the way he was going—clawing his way through survival, and leaving a wake of destruction in his path as he did so. He'd had enough of being miserable for ten lifetimes. And staying away from him was his best possible chance at getting anywhere close to peace. Kurapika thought he really could do it. He had his first taste of hope in what felt like years—one that wasn't brought about by a synthetic chemical, at least.
And maybe he could've done it. Achieved enlightenment. He'd never know, since there seemed to be a conspiracy against him having anything at all.
Chrollo picked up on the second ring.

You're a regular decorated emergency
The bruises and contusions will remind me what you did when you wake
You've earned your place atop the ICU's hall of fame
The camera caught you causing a commotion on the gurney again-Camisado, P!ATD
