Love

Hisoka was empathic, able to feel what others were feeling, whether he wanted to or not. Much of the time he'd rather not be forced to experience the emotions of others, often he wished that he had never been born with this gifted curse. It usually just hindered him, made him weak and useless. Sometimes the emotions of those around him would fill him, suffocate and choke him, causing him to lose consciousness at the worst. How could he prove to everyone he was strong when he had so little control?

However, there was one tiny sliver of light that came with this curse. Looking out from the protective embrace of Tsuzuki, from inside the cocoon his partner formed around him, Hisoka could find one blessing because of his ability.

Love. He was surrounded by the emotion, it filled him, warming him; body and soul. And Tsuzuki knew this; he could tell from the sincere smile on his lover's lips, the blissful sparkle in those green eyes, even from how tightly Hisoka had his arms wrapped around him and how closely their bodies pressed together. Tsuzuki didn't need to be empathic to understand he was loved.
