Boredom. Fatigue. Pain. Those were all things I currently felt as I lied awake in bed, coughing harshly, practically hacking up my lungs. How excruciating this all was. I hated to be in bed, for any amount of time. I could be outside training my Hatsu, dammit! But cause I trained the day before, in the rain, I fell terribly ill, and I am forced to be confined to my bed. How lonely and annoying it all was. Especially without the presence of my best friend, Killua. He had gone off for a week to visit his younger sister Alluka, and he had no idea I was in this condition. If he knew, without a doubt, he'd come rushing back to scold me before insisting on taking care of me.
Wait...what day was it again? I lost all track of time, and seem to have forgotten when Killua was supposed to return. Surely it couldn't be today? It can't be. For sure he'd give me an earful. I'm fine honestly! Me, sick? That's a laugh. Though as I coughed up again, I realized, no matter how much I told myself I really wasn't sick, I was too weak to even get out of bed. I would lay back with a groan, throwing an arm over my face, my head throbbing painfully, as I let my mind drift off to a certain albino-haired best friend of mine.
A knock at the door to my hotel room would jolt me from my slumber. I must have fallen asleep without realizing it. I sat up, though it caused me pain and I would be forced to just lie back in annoyance. Since I didn't hear the knock again, I assumed whoever it was had left. But then I heard the doorknob turn and my gaze would return to the door, holding my breathe, not knowing who to expect.
Standing at the now open doorway was none other then my best friend, Killua Zoldyck. My eyes would immediately lighten up, and though it would cause me pain, I sat up, wishing I could jump up to give him a hug, but my legs would give out on me before I even made it to him, so I opted to just verbally express my delight in his return.
"Killua! I missed you!"
I would chirp as happily as I could. I must be a sight to him now, considering I was paler than a ghost and I looked awfully tired. Not that I realized that, because I was fine! Completely fine.
Killua would shut the door behind him, his mouth agape as he gazed at me.
"What on earth happened to you?" He asked, his voice having a disbelieving tone.
I, of course, would act innocent. "What do you mean?" My voice was laced with confusion. I could honestly be an actor.
His blue eyes would narrow at my response. "Don't play dumb with me, Gon. Like no offense, I'm pretty sure you realized you look like shit right now."
Or...maybe not an actor.
I would huff in indignation. "I was just training my Hatsu yesterday when suddenly, it started raining!" I would cross my arms in annoyance as I recalled it. "I knocked down so many trees, easily! They snapped like twigs!" I would throw him a triumphant smile. "You should've seen me!"
Killua would then sigh and run a hand over his face. "Honestly, Gon. You don't take care of yourself, do you?"
I look almost offended at this. "Yes, I do! I keep telling you I'm fine!"
He would shake his head, his snowy white hair falling over his eyes as he does so. "You don't think before you do things. That's your problem."
I would frown. I honestly was not a fan of Killua scolding or hassling me. But at the same time, I didn't mind it. It was inevitable after all.
"Hmph." I would turn my head, a pout replacing my frown. "I guess you didn't miss me."
His blue eyes would then widen, like saucers. "Of course I did!" He would reply, almost frantically. It was honestly cute, I almost laughed.
A bright smile would cross my face until I ended up in a fit of coughs. "Ugh...it hurts!" I whined, and laid back into the pillows, my head beginning to throb.
Killua was at my side in almost an instant. I didn't even see him approach me.
"That'll teach me to leave you alone again." He grumbles under his breathe, placing a hand on my cheeks, then my forehead, his brows furrowing. I found myself gazing at him in wonder, admiring this close up I had of him.
When he pulled away, I was pulled out of my analyzation.
"You have a fever."
This was no news to me of course. I knew I was sick, however much I tried to deny it.
"I need to go get you some medicine. And tea. And healthy foods." Killua had begun to pace, verbally mumbling a list of what he'd need to take care of me.
I would instantly whine. He just got here! I wanted him to myself just a little longer before he left. I know he'd come back, but still! It wasn't fair. Why did I have to get sick the day before his return?
"Can't it wait?" I'd complain, sitting up again and reaching out for him, ignoring the soreness it caused my arms.
He would stop pacing and glare at me. I would shrink back from his cold gaze.
"Well, gosh. Sorry I just wanted to spend time with you when you just got back." I would huff.
His gaze would instantly soften and he would sigh. "I know, Gon. I missed you terribly while I was away."
His words sent a warmth through me, and I felt a swirling in my stomach, like butterflies flapping around in a frenzy.
"But as your best friend, it's my job to take care of you. We can catch up when I come back with your things."
I knew there was no arguing with him, so I would throw an arm over my face dramatically. "Fine. Leave me here to die." Of boredom, honestly. Cause seriously, staying in bed for any length of time agonized me.
Killua would roll his blue eyes, the ones that I loved so much.
"Don't be dumb. I'll be back before you know it." He would give me a warm smile. The one that would send warm shivers down my spine, as if someone was throwing sweet smelling petals down on me and I was being engulfed in their scent.
I would nod reluctantly, and he would give me a wave as once again, he would leave, shutting the door behind him.
Already missing him, his presence drifting away, I would sigh.
"Killua..."
