I'm so sorry for the wait! :( I will try to make this chapter longer if possible as some sort of compensation. Now, on with chapter 8~! ;)
Killua was annoyed.
Very annoyed.
He was painfully aware of the 'sneakily' glances given by Gon. Well, if he knows then that doesn't even count as sneaky. Back to the point.
Ever since Killua exclaimed that he wouldn't want to see Gon and Jim fight, lots of changes have happened. The worried glances that Gon would keep casting his way while they are helping the townspeople to rebuild their houses, and for Jim, he's not losing any chance to hit on him. For example, like this type of scenarios:
"Killua, I think that if people were stars, you'll be the most bright and shining star ever."
"How about I give you a massage, I'm sure my skillful hands will be able to sooth your aching muscles. I'm sure God will punish me if I didn't take good care of the angel right in front of me."
"Your eyes, your eyes! They give out the most sparkling and dazzling light, blinding me. Your white hair and pale skin,oh! It's like an angel who has descended on this world, giving his holy light. Oh God, why have you created such an alluring angel?"
Killua would get the goose bumps every time Jim said that kind of words.
Enough. Killua decided to make an end to this silly play. He approached them both and asked them to stop what they are doing. They did so quite willingly. Too willingly if he must say.
Killua took the two fools to a remote place far away from the townspeople. He doesn't want them to know about their embarrassing and childish matters.
"Killua, you know I would never doubt your intentions, but to come with this…Gon…, I must say, you have made a little mistake here." Jim gave another one of his seductive smirks.
Gon winced at Jim's declaration and frowned. He didn't have to be that direct, calling him this. Gon was going to make a rebut when Killua stopped in his tracks and faced them two, anger obviously making its appearance on Killua's expression and eyes.
"Stop it, you two. Why are you both acting like kids? I repeat myself; I had have enough. How many times must I say before it could get into your nutheads?" Seeing the shocked expressions displayed on both Gon's and Jim's faces, Killua continued on.
"Let's end this, right now. Spit out everything, any grievances or unsatisfaction." Although I already know much of it, Killua added internally.
"W-What are you saying Killua? There's nothing between us! Seriously!" Gon lied.
"Hmmm… So what's this matter about winning my heart, huh?" Killua glared.
"Just as I suspected, you do know. As expected of my angel." Jim kneeled down on one of his knees and took Killua's hand, his mouth inching closer…
"Stop saying angel angel angel. It's pissing me off." Killua retreated his hand away harshly before Jim's lips could even touch it.
Killua turned towards Gon whose head was hung low, an obvious sign of being guilty. He sighed and softened his cold and harsh tone before saying, "Gon, are you even sure you like me in the first place?"
Gon's heart stopped at his words, his eyes widening in realization. Killua's right, he did not even like Killua in that way! He hadn't even organize his own feelings before he even started the match with Jim, the starting point being the first kiss he had stolen from Killua. So that makes things easier isn't it! Jim could have Killua, provided that Killua returns his feelings, and he would still be Killua's best friend, wishing him happiness that he deserved. So, if that is the way it should be, why does his heart hurt so much?
Tears uncontrollably rolled down his cheek, alerting Killua. Killua quickly rushed to his side, asking him if he was alright.
Those kind words, those kind words… Killua doesn't need to concern me! I do not deserve his kindness! I'm just a selfish bastard, snatching and obstructing his love life while in the first place I wasn't even sure of my own feelings! I'm just a hindrance!
Gon weakly pushed Killua to Jim, forcing a fake smile as he wished them happiness. "You're right, Killua. You deserve your own happiness, and that is being with the one you loved. Mito-san said that when a person feels that he or she is the most blissful and fortunate person, it is when he or she is being with the one he or she loves. Jim loves you, Killua. I'm sure he would give you the happiness that you deserve."
"Gon…" Killua stretched his hand to reach Gon, but failed to do so when Gon suddenly bolted away, leaving behind the 'new couple' that he thought has formed.
Wow, Gon's being emo! Can Gon realize his own feelings before his love of his life is being taken away? Read on to find out! Remember to review, adieu~
