Chapter 2: Sketch

Killua X Reader

Genre: Tsundere Romance


I just really don't know how a simple and ordinary girl like me ended up into the hunter exam.

The moment i realized where I was, I was already running through a narrow tunnel that was dark and smelled of sweat and desperation of winning. the people behind me were already falling behind and cried out of the failure they just achieved, the mass hysteria was enough to frighten even a strong-willed person. I was hollowed within by then fear of the unknown... hell I thought I will die of exhaustion and bleed my guts out. At that very moment I desperately craved for water, my thirst was killing me, but I needed hope and confidence that moment from everything else.

Heaven granted my wish and sent a white haired angel with almond-shaped liquid sapphire eyes, soothing and cool like the azure soil in the Garden of Eden.

"run faster, or you'll never catch up." He said and went on.

That might be world's simplest words at the moment but they imprinted on my mind like some sweet melody, his face had something encouraging and alight with confidence and hope which seeped successfully into me and i found my feet again on the ground. After all life is all about running and not losing hope.

I will win this challenge.

...

After all my hard toil I could not pass the hunter exam and I was not unhappy. May be I did not have enough potential, I did not give that up and went to the heaven's arena for earning some good money with my fist. i may not passed the hunter exam but I still got some potential to win some money from the Heaven's arena.

One morning in the arena I was going out for some snack from the vending machine downstairs. But I did not expected that I will find him here also. And he was with some other kid with spiky black hair. I hid myself behind the pillar down the corridor to hide myself from their gaze. They were still in pajamas and yawning loudly. Clearly he is not a early bird like his friend beside him... but his yawn sounded so sweet.

By the way apart from fighting I had another piece of talent. I could draw. Sometimes I thought the drawing gave me the hope and stamina for going on and pushing myself further when I am down. This was only the thing apart from the marshal talents which I adored and afraid to lose.

When an artist finds an inspiration his inside bursts out with the imagination which scratches through the canvas and comes out alive. I ran towards my room, rummaged my trunk and got out my paper, some bread and charcoal. I closed my eyes and let my hand do the work. My inspiration and the flowing imagination swayed with my hand on the paper. I was really startled to death when the phone on the desk rang with a metallic sound.

I tried to calm my pounding heart with my left hand on my chest and picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"eh... You are not Gon! who are you?"

I knew that voice, it didn't changed a bit from that time... the sweetest melody embedded on my ears down to the heart. "Sorry who are you... there is no Gon here." I said with my free hand clasped on my lap. "I am (y/n)" "Oh warry na..." He chuckled at his mistake "Ore wa Killua... Okay ja na!" he disconnected the phone. So his name was Killua... Cute name... suits the angelic feats of his.

My mind again filled with joy. I couldn't concentrate anymore on my job, I was so happy that everytime I touched the charcoal stick, my hand would shake and it slipped out of fingers and guess what it did not bothered me at all. That was really surprising. Suddenly I heard muffled voices right out of my door and i left my sketchbook and went towards its way. I gently placed my ears at the cold wood. "Eh... You did that Killua? Sugoi!" that voice was unfamiliar, "Yeah, but I spend all the money at my snacks... hahaha!" My heart fluttered so hard at his voice that I almost collapsed on the floor, panting hard... That feeling was almost killing me. I don't know how, but my inspiration automatically came back to me and I rushed through the windows, opened the curtains and breathed in the clean and bright sunlight of the 50th floor of the heaven's arena. Such a merry day! than I picked up my equipment and scratched through the piece of paper...

I let my hand do the work and my mind thought of the angelic face of the heavenly being. The almond shaped eyes... small angular nose and the perfect pair of lips... the crease in the left shoulder on the dainty cotton t-shirt... The noise and the rustles of the street below seemed to be a pre-historic age at the moment I was sitting, the small flesh colored dots and the hustles of the market nearby, the random passers-by seemed a part of some different dimension to me. The most real part was the headstrong wind of the higher sky, chirps of the birds and the feeling of my heart... indomitable and irrevocably true.

...

I don't know where I lost my rational mind, because from that day on I almost followed Killua everywhere... Sometimes I wondered in my mind that what did I see in him, he barely talked to me for a couple of times and heck he enchanted me and kept enchanting me. But I did not do anything to him. I just followed him at placed and made sketches... countless sketches of him.I never wanted sketching someone so bad, I wanted to capture each and every moment of him... I don't know why, I never felt this way before. was he really just a pristine sketch model or something... I tried to copy his words, I tried to understand him but more I analyzed him, the more complicated he got. The labyrinth was so deep and never ending that I got lost everytime I look into the sapphire eyes of his.

Dear God please tell me what is happening to me... please tell me what to do with myself now... I was never this helpless, not in the hunter exam, where my life was on the steak... Please show me any sign ... I don't know what to do.

Just when I thought I had enough losing my mind it had to happen! I crashed with someone and all my sketches when to the nearby water fountain near the arena... all my hard work had gone down the drain. Heck! I hurt myself on the head after I fell on my ass.

"Oh sorry, I didn't see you... but hey, you should also watch your way!"

I was going to answer something rude at the person who spoke to me, because hello! I was here, lying on the ground, hurt badly and my sketches all the way to the water but my words and voice just struck at my throat. the person spoke to me was none other than him!

Killua!

"I...I am sorry." I mumbled instead. 'No problem... here, let me help ya." He grabbed me by my elbow and raised me from the ground. "Are you hurt?" I was just looking at him with the stupor without even realising. I thought his mouth was opening and shut way too fast but... why didn't he raise the volume?

"miss... hello, can you hear me?" Killua waved his hand in front of my face. "mmm?" I mumbled; "are you hurt?" he asked again. "no... I am fine... but-"

the realization finally dawned on me when I saw Killua picking up the papers from the ground and the fountain water, I was going to stop him but he spoke first; much to my annoyance and surprise. "Whoa... did you draw all of these?" he asked which I responded with a shy nod.

"and are they really... Me? he went through both of the wet and dry pages, not caring for an answer. I was really afraid, I was afraid he would be angry and will think me as a bad person.

"they are... they are... awesome!" He exclaimed. It was really incredulous; his action. I raised my head and saw his face. No, there was no trace of mockery, instead there was a pure delight and joy. He looked at me; "(y/n) isn't it?" I was really surprised. "How did you-" "easy... I talked to you in the phone... remember, the day I thought I was calling Gon."

He remembered me? He remembered a simple, non-rustic, featureless, hopelessly timid... girl like me? That is so kind... that is so sweet; none will understand except who had experienced such situation. Wait! what is that feeling brewing inside me.

What is that feeling inside me? What's with that pleasant warmth in my heart and the fluttering feeling in the stomach as if it is full with butterflies... why my body got numb all of a sudden? why... do I... no this can't be... but isn't it obvious?

"_-san, will you tell me something honestly..." Killua asked out of the blue. "What?" I shortly answered; "Do you... like me?"I seriously didn't know the answer, why did he have to ask it all of a sudden?

"I... I don't like you... no... no... no." I screeched at him but he chuckled at my face, which made me furious. "what was that?" I said; "I got it, you're shy!" I was angry even more. That. Little. Vile.

"hey, don't need to be angry... It's okay if you don't like me... but it does not mean that I cannot like you!"

I don't know how but his words perfectly got harmonized with the feeling inside me and then I was standing before him, not helpless like before; a happy bubble swelled inside me and it keep growing and growing and growing...

"Hey, since I like you, does that mean that I can invite you in the dinner... tonight at the arena diner?" Killua asked with the hands ion his pocket, and he wore a smug and content smile in his face. "Yeah, I can go, It's not like I like you, and I am not busy after all-"

But I was interrupted what felt like a pair of soft sweet lips on mine. I blushed tomato red at that.

"Haha... so tempting to embarrass a tsundere girl." Killua said and smugly smirked. "so see you at 8, okay." he turned around and waved at me while climbing the stairs, leaving me feeling stupid and blushing at embarrassment.

"Baka Killua!" and I did not realized when I feel in love with the sweet and arrogant brat and also wet myself in the droplets flying from the fountain, which stood there as the monument of my love.
