Reunion

A year had passed since Gon and Killua had parted ways. While the white-haired assassin had been travelling the world with Alluka, the spiky-haired boy had been stuck at home on Whale Island catching up on his studies. As loving as Mito-san was, she was merciless as a teacher. Gon had been at his desk almost every day being home schooled. Four semesters of catching up hadn't been easy and he still wasn't anywhere near being finished. He sighed. He missed Killua. They talked online a lot, but it wasn't the same. He wanted him close again.

"Gon!" Mito-san called from the bottom of the stairs. "I'm going to the store. When I get back, those math questions better be done!"

"Yes, Mito-san!" Gon yelled back. He turned his attention back to his paper and began smoking out his ears. It was a good thing the window was open, but he still longed to have the white-haired assassin he had spent two years with back in his company.

The ship cut through the water as it approached its destination. "Onii-chan!" Alluka called from the deck below, "We're almost there!" Killua, who had been standing on the ship's yardarm, jumped from his perch and landed safely on the deck. He was wearing his black turtleneck and purple pants combination and he could already feel the hot sun seeping through his clothes. He was going to be glad to get out of them and into something more appropriate for the tropical climate.

The ship made port and the Zoldycks disembarked. The last time Killua had come to this island, Gon had introduced him to his family. But otherwise, there was really nothing to do here. Still, it was a really nice place to come and just get away from everything. Sometimes he envied Gon for being able to live here, but at the same time he didn't. Alluka tugged on his sleeve and asked where they were going to which Killua answered, "Just follow me."

It was a bit of a walk going from the port toward the cliff on which Gon's house stood far away from the town. It looked exactly like it did the last time he had come here. Laundry was on the clothesline flapping in the wind. The door was unlocked, as he knew it would be. Gon's aunt never locked the door if the house was at least occupied by her grandmother. This just made things so much easier for Killua, With his silent footsteps, it was easy for him to get around undetected. He left Alluka in the dining room while he made his way upstairs. He remember exactly which door was Gon's. He had spent enough time to memorize the house's layout and he had spent the most time in Gon's room.

The door was ajar and he could see Gon sitting at his desk, face pressed against the surface, with clouds of smoke coming out of his ears. There were a few scorch marks on the wall just above the desk too.

Looks like he overdid it again, thought Killua as he silently opened the door a bit and slipped inside. This was perfect. He knew all of Gon's habits and it wouldn't be long before he decided to take a break. He quietly slipped his arms out of all six of his backpack straps and placed his bag underneath the bed before climbing in himself and throwing the covers over his head. He snickered mentally to himself while making a kitty face.

Sure enough, Gon eventually gave up on trying to solve his math problems and stood up out of his chair. He needed a break! He stretched his arms and legs and walked around his room. He stuck his head out the window and took in a nice deep breath of fresh air. "Just a quick nap couldn't hurt," he thought out loud to himself, "Mito-san won't notice." He went to his bed and collapsed on top of it. He sighed into his pillow and closed his eyes. He could already feel himself starting to drift off to sleep.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp jolt and that jerked him wide awake. "What was that?!" he asked nobody in particular. When nothing happened, he just shrugged and laid back down. He closed his eyes again and felt himself drift off once more.

Another shock suddenly hit him and that caused him to jump straight up into a sitting position. "Okay! Who's there? I know I'm not imagining this!" As he looked around his room, an arm slid out from under his covers and let out a small static discharge against the back of his neck.

"OW!" There was a giggle and suddenly the covers threw back only to have something tackle Gon to the floor.

"Hehehehe. Miss me?" The spiky-haired boy's eyes widened. He knew that voice.

"KILLUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"Ow! Right in my ear!"

Gon grabbed Killua and hugged him tight. "Oh my gosh! I missed you!"

Killua smiled. "I missed you too."

"I could just kiss you, right now!"

"Well why don't you?" asked Killua, "Or shall I lead?" When he didn't get an answer, he pried himself out of his arms and gave his boyfriend a long-overdue kiss. It seemed an eternity, but it had only been a couple minutes before the boys finally pulled apart.

"Where have you been?" asked Gon, "It's been a week since your last message!"

"I wanted to surprise you," Killua said with a smile.

"Okay, but did you really have to shock me?" Gon said. Killua just made a kitty face.

"Onii-chan! What's taking so long!"

Gon looked at Killua. "Is that Alluka? She's here too?"

Killua nodded. "Yep!"

"I wanna go say hi!" Gon got up and ran towards the door.

"Hey Gon!" Killua called.

"Yeah?"

Killua smirked. "You actually changed your clothes for once." Gon looked down at his ensemble of long pants, a plain white T-shirt, and a dark vest.

"Well at least I keep a fashion sense."

Killua's face suddenly changed. "What's wrong with my fashion sense?" Gon just smiled and disappeared through the door. "Gon! Get the hell back here!"

The boys raced downstairs where Alluka was waiting for them. Grandma was out there now, making tea for all of them. Apparently the noise had caused her to come out and investigate and that's when she met Alluka.

"It's nice to see your friend came back, Gon," she said when she saw him come downstairs with Killua, "And you've got a new one too. A cute little girl."

"She's my sister," Killua pointed out.

Grandma served tea and everybody sat down and began to catch up. Gon's life had been pretty monotonous and unadventurous, unlike Killua's which had been filled with all sorts of adventures and travels with Alluka. Gon was actually beginning to jealously pout at his boyfriend's life for the past year.

Another hour passed before the door opened and Mito-sand returned home. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Gon sitting at the table with Killua and a girl she'd never seen before. "Ah! Mito-san! Look! Killua came to visit!"

"Yes, I can see that," said Mito-san, "Now what about the math homework I asked you to do?"

"Oh…." Gon trailed off. "I...didn't finish those."

"I told you I wanted those done when I got back."

"I'm sorry! But I got distracted."

"No excuses! Now you march right back up there and finish your homework."

"Um, question," Killua interjected, "Is it homework if you're being home schooled? Because you're being school at home, so the work you do is done at home. But that also means your home is also your school." Gon's ears started smoking again. "Why don't I help you with your homework?" Killua offered.

Gon gasped hopefully. "Would you?"

"Of course!"

"YAY! Thank you Killua!" Gon wrapped his arms around Killua and then ran upstairs. The white-haired boy followed and together they were able to finish up the homework in no time. Afterwards, they hung out with Alluka until it was almost dinner time. The boys went to go take a bath together while Alluka helped with dinner.

Gon sighed happily as he leaned against the edge of the tub. "I'm soooooo happy right now."

Killua came up behind him and hugged him tight. "Me too. I missed this so much."

The boys sighed, happy to be reunited after a year. They had missed each other so much. Killua was happy to feel his boyfriend's skin against his again. He was just so warm. Almost on instinct, he squirted some shampoo into his hand and began lathering up Gon's hair with it. The spiky-haired boy couldn't help but giggle. It kind of tickled.

"Stay still!" said Killua.

"I can't help it," Gon giggled, "It tickles."

The boys finished their bath and then got dressed for dinner. Both of them came downstairs wearing tank tops and comfy shorts. Alluka was just finishing helping setting the table when they arrived. She waved when they came down and everybody sat down together. Once Gon, Mito-san, and grandma had given their thanks, everybody began eating.

After dinner ended, they went to the living to relax with some tea. Killua and Alluka talked about their travels together, which made Gon very jealous. However, once he finished his boyfriend turned to him and made a promise to take him on all sorts of fun adventures together. That made Gon smile. As they conversation drew on, it got later until Alluka finally started nodding off. It was agreed then that it was time for bed. Mito-san and grandma let her use the guest room on the first floor while Gon and Killua retired to Gon's room upstairs.

The boys got comfortable and soon the two of them were cuddling in Gon's bed together. They pushed themselves close to each other until they were both sharing a single pillow. "I missed you so much, Killua."

"I missed you too, Gon. But now I promise that I'll never leave you ever again."

"I'm glad." Gon reached up and took Killua's hand in his own. "Killua, I-"

"Gon, I know I've never said this before, because I've always felt like I never needed to." Killua's cold blue eyes looked into Gon's honest ones. "I love you."

"I love you too, Killua." They pressed their lips together and shared a passionate kiss before breaking away and closing their eyes.

"Good night, Gon."

"Good night, Killua."

They snuggled up closer to each other and Gon and Killua soon fell asleep, their hands still locked together between them.

As you know, the 2011 Hunter x Hunter anime recently came to an "end", leaving things quite open-ended. In much the same way I took advantage of the way Digimon Xros Wars: The Boy Hunters Who Leapt Through Time, we are doing the same thing here.
