Guard Dog

It wasn't his first choice but everyone has to start somewhere. Gon X Killua, with some other pairings in the mix.

12. Chapter 12

"I'm back Kurapika!" Gon cheers as he walks into his apartment, shutting the door behind him and locking it, carrying a couple bags.

"Gon! How did it go?" Kurapika's gray eyes brighten when they fall on the younger man who just came in. The vampire is sitting at the kitchen table, with a cup of something steaming in his hand. He's wearing a white fluffy robe and his hair is sticking to his cheeks. He must have just gotten out of the shower.

"Great! I got the job and I earned 500 dollars for blowing up a McDonald's!" Gon cheers as he walks closer to his friend, placing the bags on the table. "I was able to buy me some dinner and some food for the refrigerator! I got Killua a lot of chocolate too! Hopefully it will help in him forgiving me." Gon rubs his head, giving Kurapika a sheepish smile.

"I'm sure it will- Wait, you did what?" Kurapika sputters when he was taking a drink of his beverage. He chokes slightly. "You blew up a McDonald's?!"

"Yeah! That's what Knuckle does, I think. He seems really proud of it too."

Kurapika blinks. "What kind of job did Leorio set you up with? Are the police after you?"

"They were but we lost them." Gon thinks he remembers one of those siren cars having the word 'police' on them.

"I think you should have gotten more than 500 for doing all that on your first day..." Kurapika calms down a bit, taking another drink of his tea. "Really, who is Leorio associating with now a days. I've met Knuckle once and he seemed okay. He didn't mention anything about his...hobby."

"Knuckle says he's a star for destroying McDonald's and everyone wants to be him."

"I doubt that." Kurapika shakes his head. "...But I suppose it's a job. Is that all you'll be doing? Destroying McDonald's? Because if so, I can talk to Leorio. I'm sure he can find you something better than that."

"It's okay. Knuckle seems really nice. He also said I'd be working at animal shelters and I like that. He said he would call me when he has another job for me. This 500 was plenty!" Gon smiles as he starts taking his items out of the bag, keeping the bag with Killua's chocolates in the front. He got milk, beef, pork, and...mostly meat. Gon picked up some food at that place Leorio took him for dinner, he got another one of those cheeseburgers.

"I've been wondering Gon, how have you been paying your apartment bill?" Kurapika gets up from his seat and takes Gon's food and starts putting them away for him. Gon tenses at the question. He can't tell Kurapika that his employer is paying for it. What should he say? Gon bites his lip and sits down on the table, not liking he has to keep lying. It's frustrating. "You haven't had a job till now...unless you have a scholarship?" Kurapika turns, raising an eyebrow at Gon. "It is rare for someone to start school in the middle of the year."

"Scholarship?" Gon repeats, a little unsure. "No...I've just spent all my money on this place. I have none left." Gon opens up the box of food he got for dinner. Hoping that sounded believable enough.

"So you paid rent in advance." Kurapika nods to himself as he sits down at the table again, taking another sip of his drink. "You must have had a lot saved up Gon. Having your own place is pretty remarkable. Especially away from home." Kurapika smiles softly, looking down at his drink. "I think you'll be one of those people who really fits in with society. Have you thought about what job you want?"

"No, not really." Gon takes a big bite out of his cheeseburger, moaning from the sweet taste of meat and grease. Gon already has a job. "Have you thought about it Kurapika?" Gon speaks with a mouth full of food, looking over at his friend.

"A little bit." Kurapika chuckles at his friend's table manners. "But I'm not too interested in it. I'm more focused on other things." Kurapika takes another sip of his drink, those gray eyes turning serious. "The Spiders will search me out more and more. They know I go to the school and they will continue to wait for me to go in and to come out. But if we can keep doing what we're doing for the next week, I'll get my chance next weekend at the festival."

"Festival?" Gon tilts his head, his amber eyes locked on Kurapika, knowing this is important. He's waiting for his master's orders. His plans.

"Yes, the festival of spirits. It's suppose to be a day were all the towns people gather together to remember the many people who died a couple years ago from a terrible bombing. But with the gangs and the Spiders around, it's become more of a ground for them to steal the gold and silver people bring as homage. There will also be priceless paintings and works of art present. Despite how bad these things turn out, they always keep bring these items, remembering their fallen. I'm not sure how long it will last though. Humans are forgetful creatures. I think they want the Spiders to take the priceless items. Some of the humans here praise the Spiders. They believe they're keeping this city safe from the other gangs that are too afraid and smart to invade the Spiders territory. The Spiders are the humans' pawns after all. They are the humans' tool against us. Any threat they will take care of. So their thieving habits don't bother the humans that much, and they'll turn their heads when someone gets murdered in the process." Kurapika's eyes flash scarlet before he takes a deep, shaky breath.

"They'll be at the festival Gon. I've been constructing a layout of the place it will be held in. I'm almost finished with my plans and then I'll show them to you. We still have time. I have to be patient." Kurapika's hand that's holding his cup starts to shake, he has to grab his hand with the other and slowly stop his shaking. "...I'll let you know when it's complete. Then we can start preparing for it together. If you're still in Gon. You don't have to help me. I say this again, you owe me nothing. You've done more than enough for me."

"I'm with you Kurapika. You're not going in there alone." Gon smiles, those amber eyes lighting up. Kurapika stares at him a moment before he smiles, watching as Gon finishes his food up.

"I wonder sometimes if I should scold you for being so reckless or thank you for your constant kindness." Kurapika stands up from his seat, walking over to Gon. He licks his finger and starts to wipe the sauce that Gon had gotten on his face, a soft smile on his lips. Kurapika blinks when he realizes what he's doing and pulls away, his face flushing. "I-I did it again."

"I don't mind. When you do that...it reminds me of Mito. She would do the same thing. I miss her." Gon smiles up at Kurapika, not minding the shows of affection. He understands. Kurapika is wiping the face of Pairo.

"I don't think I can own up to Mito's standards." Kurapika smiles softly again, finishing wiping off Gon's face before patting him on top the head, Gon leaning into the touch happily. "You look tired Gon. You've been through a lot today." Kurapika frowns when he rubs his thumb against Gon's neck where the mark is.

"I am tired." Gon yawns, rubbing at his eyes before he smiles at Kurapika, standing up. "Have you been able to sleep on the couch Kurapika?"

"Yes I've been able to sleep fine." Kurapika nuzzles his head on top of Gon's, and it doesn't feel strange. It feels warm and Gon likes it. It's that affection again. Not of a mate, but of a friend, or a brother. Warmth like Mito's.

"If you have bad dreams, you can tell me about them And you can come to wake me up." Gon watches as Kurapika tenses in his hold. "Leorio told me you've been having nightmares. When I use to have nightmares back at my home, I would snuggle with Mito and she would play with my hair in till I fell asleep again. It always helped having someone listen to the nightmare. When I would talk about it...it wasn't so scary." Gon smiles up at Kurapika who is staring at him with those gray eyes slightly widen. Kurapika's eyes slowly slip shut, a smile turning his lips as he pulls the boy in for a warm hug. "I will remember that Gon. If I should have a nightmare."

"You'll come to me? Because I want to help you Kurapika. In anyway that I can."

"I'll come to you if I can not sleep by myself." Kurapika smiles fondly before he pulls Gon away. "Now off to bed yourself-"

"W-Wait I still have to do my homework." Gon frowns, his eyes widening when he remembers something. "And I have to start on that report! I need to prove to everyone that werewolves aren't just dumb animals. I have to prove Killua wrong..." Gon looks at Kurapika pleadingly. "Can you help me with my report on werewolves? Can you help me beat Killua?"

"...I can try but it's going to be hard." Kurapika frowns slightly. "You've picked a harder subject to prove. It will be hard to find sources to support you but I'll help in anyway I can. I was surprised to see how passionate you were about werewolves. I didn't know you were an activist."

"Yeah...I'm speaking for the werewolves." I'm speaking up for myself and my people. "They can't defend themselves right now so I'm going to do it for them. I've seen them myself Kurapika...they're not like how everyone has been talking about. They're not even like how they were in that movie. There's so much more to them then that!"

Kurapika stares at Gon a moment before he smiles. "If you see something in those werewolves Gon, then there must be something special about them. I'm sure we'll find some source to support you. We only need a few. We didn't have any homework from Brisky or Kite. So you can go to sleep. I'll start searching the internet for you, see what I can find on werewolves. This will be a learning experience for me."

"Thank you Kurapika!" Gon squeezes the other male before yawning again. "I'd really like to get started...it's due Monday...with everything going on-" Gon yawns. "I forgot."

"Sleep is calling your name." Kurapika chuckles lightly as he pushes Gon towards his room, the other male letting himself be pushed. Before Gon gets into bed he takes this time to take off his shirt and to pull off his pants, letting himself be naked. Gon sighs in relief, feeling free and non itchy as he gets into the bed, pulling up the covers. "Someone seems to be texting you." Kurapika pulls Gon's phone out of his pants and gives it to the other male. "See you in the morning Gon. If you feel ill or too weak, let me know. It's okay. We can stay home from school if you need to. I took a lot of blood out of you..." Kurapika still looks Gon over with concern.

"I'll be fine. I'm sure I'll be back to normal in the morning." Gon smiles. " Don't worry."

"If you say so...good night Gon." Kurapika smiles, rubbing Gon's cheek before he turns and walks out of the room, locking the door behind him.

Once Kurapika is gone, Gon lets out his ears and tail, sighing in relief from the release. He stretches his tail and ears out, his ears moving this way and that while is tail beats against the bed. Now who could have been texting him...it's probably Alluka-

Gon blinks when he opens up his phone and reads the name. Killua. Killua has sent him two messages. Gon's eyebrows furrow. The young werewolf wasn't expecting that. He thought Killua wasn't going to talk to him at all. They're probably mean messages. Gon braces himself when he opens them up only to blink when he reads them.

"I saw you on the news! Are you fucking serious? That's your job? You're working with Knuckle, destroying McDonald's? I was cracking up when I saw you running. You looked so scared and confused. What the fuck." That was the first one.

"How much did you get paid for doing that? Or was destroying McDonald's just a part of the interview? I just can't get over it." That was the second one.

Gon rubs his eyes, reading them again. Killua is...talking to him normally? But he was so mad earlier! And Gon hasn't apologized yet or given him chocolates. Why is Killua texting him like nothing happened? Killua's eyes had gotten so dark and his voice so low. He even bit him a couple of times...Gon reaches up slowly, tracing the mark on his neck and then reaching up to feel the hole in his ear.

He bit my ear again, like that one time when Killua had first walked into his apartment. Was he angry then? Does Killua bite when he's angry? Are these his marks of anger? And... Gon reaches up and touches his lips, his body feeling warm suddenly when he thinks of how Killua forced his lips on his and how his tongue had snaked passed his lips, touching everywhere inside his mouth.

When it was happening, Gon didn't know what to think. It was such a strange sensation, having someones tongue in his mouth but at the same time, it felt good. Gon felt his body warm and he wanted more of this feeling. He felt even more defenseless by Killua's kiss then he did with Killua pinning him on the floor. It was like Gon was melting into a warm mess. It was strange and new and it excited Gon. Killua's kiss was nothing like Kurapika's. At first Killua's kiss really hurt, and it was aggressive but then it got softer and nicer. It was nice even when it hurt. Even the pain had felt good in a way, when his body was being weird, getting hypersensitive when Killua had pinned him.

Gon liked the kiss. And he wanted more but Killua was angry and wouldn't give him anymore unless he stopped being friends with Kurapika. But what did that kiss mean? Was it an angry kiss to show he was angry? It did have a lot of emotion in it...

What do Kisses mean? Do they have different meanings? Is it something friends do? Kurapika kissed him on the lips but he thought they were mates. Is it something mates do? Maybe he should clarify with someone but if it's something just that mates do, Gon doesn't know how he feels about that. He doesn't know if he thinks of Killua as someone who could be his mate. He never considered it. All Gon knows is that he likes the kiss thing. He likes Killua's kiss.

Gon stiffens when his body starts to feel weird again. He feels hot and his ears are flat against his head. Gon feels restless, and the soft blanket against his bare skin is doing something to him. It feels nice, too nice. His body is hypersensitive again. Gon's instinct is telling him he should touch himself, to make him feel better. Gon flushes when he notices the heat has traveled down, below his navel. Well that's never happened before. At least not at night.

His reproductive organ- His dick, as Killua would say, has gotten a little swollen. Gon's blush spreads. He knows what this means. He wants to mate, he learned from the older werewolves that this would happen time to time, even if Gon didn't have a mate in mind. Werewolves are very horny creatures they had said and laughed. They told him to get comfortable with himself because in till Gon finds a mate he'll have to...'take care of it himself'. Gon didn't really believe them. He's never been over come with desire or lust while on his island, even with the females presenting themselves to him. He never felt a connection so that's why Gon thought he never had the problem the other males were saying he would.

Maybe It was because he was too young? Now that he's 16...maybe it's happening now? Gon doesn't have a mate so...he has to take care of it? How? Gon starts out of his thoughts when his phone vibrates again. Killua is calling him.

Gon answers quickly. "Killua?" Gon's body gets warmer and he takes a deep breath when he hears Killua's voice on the other line.

"So now you respond to me." Killua grunts, sounding annoyed. "I was starting to get the feeling you were ignoring me."

"No, I wasn't. I just got home from work and I was surprised to see you were texting me. I thought you weren't going to talk to me...you seemed really mad earlier today. I was worried you wouldn't want to be my friend anymore." Gon fiddles with his phone.

"...You pissed me off but whatever. Be with Kurapika, I don't give a fuck." Killua's voice sounds dark again though. "I wasn't going to talk to you but I decided against it. Alluka would throw a fit after all-"

"I'm sorry, Killua. I'm sorry I hid this from you. I feel awful about it." Gon feels a whimper in the back of his throat. "You mean a lot to me. I don't like hurting you and making you angry at me."

"..." Killua is silent for a moment. "But Kurapika means more right? Since you'll stay with him rather then listen to me." Killua's voice is calm but there's a darkness to it.

"Killua...you don't understand." Gon frowns. He can't leave Kurapika. The vampire is his friend and his key to Ging.

"I understand fine." Killua growls. There's a moment of tense silence between them before Killua huffs. "Like I said. I don't give a fuck."

"So...you're not mad at me anymore?" Gon asks hopefully, turning so he's laying on his side. Gon's notice the heat hasn't left him.

"No i'm still pissed. I'm just sort of getting over it. We're cool but don't be doing this again. Keeping something like this behind our backs."

"I won't." Gon really hopes he's telling the truth, he doesn't want to lie to Killua anymore. Gon smiles after awhile, Killua being silent. "it's a relief to hear your voice and it's a bonus you're not yelling at me like I thought you would be when we talked again."

"Yeah, yeah." Killua grunts. "So tell me about your job. That's the reason I called. I want to hear this shit." Killua's voice has gotten playful.

"Okay! I need to tell Alluka too. I was thinking about texting her about it-"

"She's right here. She'll be able to hear you."

"HI Gon!" Gon can hear Alluka's voice.

"Hey Alluka!" Gon sits up in bed, his tail wagging at being able to talk to his two friends at the same time. "Okay I'll start at the beginning! So I go to the McDonald's I'm suppose to meet Knuckles at, and I wasn't really sure who I would be looking for. I didn't expect Knuckle to be so big though! And he yelled a lot and his face scrunches up but anyway! He was there and he told me the job was going to be destroying McDonald's and that I needed to get everyone out of it so they wouldn't get hurt. I was worried that we would get in trouble but he said if we ran it would be okay. He hired me because i'm an animal lover, I forgot to add that part! So I went into the McDonald's and I really didn't know what to do or to say...Knuckle starting yelling things and I misunderstood..."

Gon keeps ranting on and on, telling Alluka and Killua everything that happened. By the end of it, Killua and Alluka are busting out laughing. Even Gon laughs with them, seeing how funny it is. He thought blowing up McDonald's was a little strange. It seems the Zoldycks thought so too.

"God that's so you. Just everything you just said, wow." Killua chuckles, seeming to try to catch his breath. "And it was caught on tape."

"I can't believe you were on the news Gon!" Alluka takes a deep breath, trying to fill her lungs back up so she can laugh some more.

"Me either! Knuckle did say I was going to be a star!"

Killua and Alluka laugh more.

"Gon you're a wanted man now. Wanted for the destruction of an innocent fast food restatement. Shame on you. Tsk, tsk." Killua teases, the amusement can't he hidden from his voice.

"Knuckle doesn't think they're innocent." Gon pouts.

"And you listen to a guy with that kind of hairstyle who goes around destroying McDonald's?"

"Well...yeah." Gon flushes when Killua chuckles more.

"That's great. It's just too rich." Killua sighs happily. "Damn. It was just too perfect. You're a riot Gon." Killua laughs again, and Gon can't help to smile listening to it. It's so light and deep, a rumbling in Killua's throat. It sounds nice.

"I like it when you laugh." Gon smiles into his pillow, his body warming up and his heart beating faster. Killua stops laughing immediately. Gon frowns. "Why'd you stop?"

"Because you're being weird!" Killua sputters. Gon can picture him with his face flushed right now.

"I'm just speaking the truth. When you laugh it makes me smile. It makes me happy and your laugh is nice. I like it."

"Damn you're embarrassing." Killua growls but his voice isn't sharp. Gon giggles, rolling around in his bed talking to Killua, his tail banging against the bed, his smile soft.

"I guess I am."

"The most embarrassing person I know. Seriously." Killua sounds like he's smiling. The two share a laugh soon after and Gon's chest feels light. He really likes this. He was tired a minute ago but now that he's talking with Killua, hearing his deep, silky voice, Gon is wide awake. "How much money did you get for destroying that thing?" Killua musses.

"I got 500 dollars." Gon beams.

"That's it? That guy ripped you off. You should have gotten at least 1000."

"But I didn't really do anything. The people started leaving after they saw Knuckle's face."

"Still. You could have gone to jail if they caught you." Killua grunts. "What are you going to spend your money on?"

"I bought food and I also bought a little something for you." Gon smiles, closing his eyes, picturing Killua's blue eyes brighten in interest on the other line.

"Oh?" Killua can't hide his curiosity. "What you get me?"

"That's a secret." Gon says in a sing song voice. "You'll get it tomorrow."

"Come on, just tell me."

"Nope. You got to be patient Killua."

"Bastard."

Gon chuckles at Killua's anger, knowing it's not true. He can picture Killua smirking on the other line, that amusement shinning in his eyes.

"I'm going to go to bed brother, Gon. I'll see you in the morning, Good night." Alluka calls out in the back ground.

"Goodnight Alluka! See you tomorrow."

"Night sis."

"Tomorrow is going to be interesting Gon~" Alluka sounds like she's smiling before Gon hears a door open and close. Killua sputters into the phone and he's quiet for a minute.

"How is tomorrow going to be interesting?" Gon's eyes light up in excitement, his tail wagging and his ears perking up.

"Ignore her. I don't know what she was talking about." Killua grunts but his voice sounds strained.

"Oh." Gon thinks for a moment before he smiles. "How was your hot dog night?"

"Hm? Oh it was good. I ate like 10 hot dogs while Alluka ate two. Like always. We watched a couple of movies. It was cool." Killua sounds like he's moving, Gon can hear shuffling of sheets.

" I liked watching that one movie with you guys. Even though everyone died in it." Gon smiles as he turns on his back again, the covers are off him and forgotten.

"The movies when everyone dies are the best."

"I don't think so. I wanted that one guy to live." Gon pouts.

"If you like them in a movie, they'll probably kill them off. Adds to the 'what the fuck' factor." Killua snickers.

"Well that's mean. So they make you like them on purpose just to kill them?"

"Yup."

It goes on like this for a while. Gon and Killua talking about this and that. They end up talking about school and Alluka and what they're planning on doing Sunday when they hang out. Most the time they just talk about anything that seems to pop into their heads. It's nice.

"I had this dream once that the world was being taken over by aliens that turned people strange colors. Everyone around me was purple and they had big noses because of the aliens. I was the last human left and I kept running from the aliens. I didn't want to be purple and have a big nose!"

"Did they end up getting you?" Killua chuckles, his voice smooth and it's comforting in the dark. It's like Gon isn't alone in this room, the other male is in here with him. "What the hell kind of dreams are you having?"

"They did get me! And I turned purple and It was horrible. I woke up with my heart beating fast."

"You get frighten over the weirdest things." Killua snickers.

"Have you had any strange dreams Killua?"

"I don't have dreams." Killua's voice goes back to being blank, the amusement taken out of his voice.

"Really? No dreams? That's no fun." Gon frowns, staring up at the ceiling. "No dreams at all?"

"Well, I guess I've had dreams before. But they were only dreams about my training or work. It was like I woke up and lived it and then I went to sleep and dreamed it." Killua grunts. "So I call those nightmares."

"Do you still have nightmares?" Gon's voice shows his concern, his eyebrows furrowing.

"Not really. Then again, I don't sleep that much. When I have been sleeping it's just darkness. Which i'm fine with."

"Mito use to tell me that if you start dreaming about work that you're too stress out." Gon's tail moves slowly as he thinks. "Maybe you're stressed out." Gon smiles when he gets an idea. "Killua would you like me to help you relieve some stress?"

"...Eh?" Killua questions but there's a sort of interest in his voice. "Relieve some of my stress how exactly? And I'm not that stressed. It's just a thing that happens. I've always had sleeping patterns like this."

"I could give you a massage!" Gon's ears perk up to the sound of Killua dropping the phone. When he knows Killua picked it back up, he continues. "I've become really good at it! A massage from me and you'll be asleep and relaxed in no time! I use to give massages all the time once I was taught by our home's health person. They told me that it's important to keep everyone as stress free as possible. Stress can make you sick and if you don't get good sleep it can mess with you mentally. Good sleep equals good mental health is what he use to say."

"I-I don't need a massage from you. My mental health is just fine, thank you. So what, you just went around giving a bunch of people massages?" Killua's voice is a mix between irritated and flustered.

"Anyone who needed it. Most the time it was the females that would come to me saying they needed help going to sleep. I must have done a good job because they kept coming back." Gon beams, rolling on his stomach, his tail swishing. He's been restless while talking to Killua.

"I'm sure they did come back." Killua grumbles. "I don't see any other reason why they would be coming back to you for a massage." Killua's voice is strained. "Tell me Gon, do centaurs sleep around a lot? Do you guys even get mates?"

"Sleep around?"

"Have you mated with a bunch of people?"

"I haven't mated with anyone." Gon tilts his head at the change in conversation.

"Really?" Killua's speaks quickly only to cough. "Seriously? I would think someone who had all these females' attention would have mated already." Killua is quiet for a moment. "...I would expect someone as hot as you would have fucked with a lot of people already." Killua's voice gets deeper. Gon feels a shiver go through his body, his arms getting covered in goosebumps.

"I haven't mated with anyone. I've had plenty of offers but I didn't feel a connection with them." Gon feels heat rush to his face and his body starts feeling strange again. The soft sheets are cool against his hot chest and it makes Gon sigh.

"No one's had you yet..." Killua mumbles, Gon barely hearing it. There's this hint of something that Gon makes out. Hope? Happiness? Something in between?

"Killua, have you mated with anyone?" Gon tilts his head, he can't help to be curious about his friend. Killua started asking him these questions and it just brought to his attention that Gon doesn't' know if Killua's already found a mate. Gon's ears are perked up and his heart is beating faster. Is he afraid? He's not sure he likes this feeling as he waits for Killua to answer.

"Nah, I haven't. Trust me when I say though I've gotten a shit ton of offers. Those annoying girls just throw themselves at me. None of them have reached my standards, I wouldn't so much as touch them, and I certainly wouldn't mate with them. Yuck."

"What are your standards Killua? What do you look for in a mate?" Gon finds his tail wagging a mile a minute after Killua told him he hasn't mated with anyone. Gon feels happy. There's this warmth spreading in his chest that is affecting his body once again. The young werewolf finds he's very interested to know what Killua wants in a mate.

"I haven't really thought about it honestly. I've never been interested in finding a mate, I wanted to put that off till the very end. But I guess if I could have a mate, what I would want is someone who's fun to be around. Someone who can keep up with me, they have to be interesting, someone who cares, someone who is real. Someone who's the exact opposite of me. With black hair and an amazing smile-" Killua stops talking suddenly. He takes a sharp intake of breath, letting it out. "with huge tits and a nice ass too. A girl that has the whole package. Someone who can cook too."

"you shouldn't base your mate off of physical appearance." Gon frowns at the end of Killua's list. He couldn't help to note that Gon doesn't have the breast Killua seeks, and Gon can't cook. He thinks he may fit the other things though, and just that fact gets Gon's tail to wag again. "When looking for a mate you should look into their heart and look into yours. If you feel happy with them and all you want to do is get closer then that's someone who is mate material." Gon smiles to himself. "I don't care if my mate is male or female. It just depends on how I feel about the person."

"How you feel about them huh?" Killua is quiet again. "If there's someone who is mate material, when you look into your heart, what would you find?"

"Happiness." Gon closes his eyes, his ears perking up. " A warmth spreads when you're with this person, and you'd find that a smile is always close on your lips. I think you would find a want to get closer. Mito told me when you find your mate, it will be an overwhelming feeling. It builds and builds till you can't control your feelings anymore and you'll do anything to get this person."

Killua is silent for a moment. "Dude you're so lame." Killua chuckles but it sounds strange. "You're a hopeless romantic, I wouldn't expect you to be that type. 'Look into their heart and yours'. Sounds like something right out of a hallmark card."

"I'm not lame! It's true! You should look into your heart! And theirs! You don't want to get a mate who doesn't love you back."

"Funny you would say that." Killua chuckles but it's humorless. "Maybe you should take your own advice Gon."

"Huh?" Gon blinks, his ears flattening on top of his head when Killua's tone changes into something not so nice.

"You have shitty judgment."

"How?" Gon sits up on the bed, his ears twitching. When did he make a bad choice? Why is Killua talking about his judgment now?

"You staying with Kurapika is a shitty judgment on your part. You're obviously not looking into his heart. You'd find that he certainly does not love you."

"Staying with Kurapika isn't bad judgment! He means a lot to me and Kurapika does love me! He's not bad like you think Killua-"

"you're such a dumb ass." Killua snarls. Gon finds himself glaring and he grips his fist. He's getting angry, his face getting red from Killua calling him stupid. Gon opens his mouth, only to stop when an image of Killua flashes through his mind. He remembers Killua's expression as he pinned Gon to the ground, that hidden hurt in those icy blue eyes.

It wasn't too long ago that Gon hurt Killua. Kurapika is still a sore subject. Killua is just lashing out because he's hurt.

"Killua, when Sunday comes around, I'm going to give you a really nice massage."

"H-Huh? I told you I don't want a massage! And don't change the subject!" Killua flusters.

"I want to take away your stress. I want to help you sleep better. You're really dear to me so if you're having trouble sleeping, I want to help in any way I can." Gon smiles, feeling the air between them shift. "So I'm giving you a massage Sunday, whether you want it or not! It'll put you right to sleep and It will feel really good."

"I don't need a massage..." Killua's dark tone has left him. His voice is strained again.

"I want to help you Killua." Gon wishes he could see Killua's face. Just hearing his voice isn't enough.

"...Do whatever you want. If you do anything weird I'll kill you though." Killua gives in, his voice sounding a little strange. "Why are you still being kind to me? I attacked you today. I'm sure you still have the marks to prove it. Why do you care if I have trouble sleeping? If I was you, I would be like 'ha, fuck you, that's what you get'. So why aren't you like that?"

"I know you attacked me because you were hurt about me and Kurapika. I understood. You can attack me all you want, it's not going to stop me from being your friend and caring about you. There's something special about you Killua. I feel it in my chest when I'm around you and I love just talking to you, like we are now. When I'm with you, I have so much fun and I just love seeing you smile and laugh. I don't think there's anything you could do that would change how I feel about you. It's like I've already made up my mind, I made it up when I first say you, that I wanted you to be my friend. And I plan on keeping it that way." Gon smiles, his chest feeling warm.

"You're..." Killua swallows. Gon wonders how his face looks right now. "...So fucking embarrassing. Who says the stuff you do? How am I even suppose to react to that? You're pretty much saying I could do anything and you would still care about me?"

"That's right." Gon beams.

"...You're really stupid. Seriously." Killua's voice is light though, something airy and warm about it. "What should I do? With someone like you?" Killua mumbles to himself but Gon hears it.

"That's easy!" Gon smiles. " Talk to me, play with me, be my friend and just stay with me. Let's watch movies and race and train and eat together! Everything I do with you is fun."

"Yeah..." Killua sounds like he's smiling. Gon pictures his lips coming up, ever so slightly and it gets his heart to skip a beat. The reactions Killua causes in him... "I guess hanging out with you isn't too bad."

"You have a lot of fun Killua." Gon whines, getting the other male to chuckle.

"Nah, not really." He muses.

"Liar." Gon sticks out his tongue only to yawn soon after, rubbing at his eyes.

"Aw is someone tired?" Killua sounds like he's smirking. "Does little Gon need his beddy bye time?"

Gon glances over at the clock. It's three in the morning and Gon is tired but the challenge in Killua's voice gets a fire to burn in his eyes.

"No. I can stay up. I don't need to sleep." Gon glares at the phone.

"Says the guy who said you need sleep for good mental health. Tsk, tsk Gon."

"One day isn't too bad." Gon crosses his arms, frowning slightly.

"If you're trying to stay up later than me, you won't be able to do it. I don't have to sleep for days. You'll be asleep soon enough."

"I will not be." Gon sits up in bed to help himself wake up. "I can stay up with you Killua."

"We'll see." Killua is smirking.

Gon has a feeling that he'll lose if they keep on going like this. Gon knows Killua wasn't lying about being able to stay up for days on end. Gon could sense it. The young werewolf likes to sleep so this will be a challenge for him. He's really tired from being weak from Kurapika feeding off of him too...

So Gon thinks of a dirty trick.

"Hey Killua~" Gon can't help his smile. "I have a song to sing for you. Mito would always sing it to me before I went to bed." Once he hears Mito's song he'll fall asleep right away!

"Do it then." Killua shifts, Gon realizing that he's just getting into his bed.

Gon lays his head down, trying to remember how the song went...his eyes feel really heavy. All of today seems to catch up to him as he thinks of Mito and her song. Gon falls asleep before he can utter the first word of the song.

Gon really is exhausted. Once his head touched the pillow, he was out for the count. The confusion, the stress, and the worry of today settling in, his aching muscles aching one last time before he lets himself get consumed by darkness.

Gon knows he'll feel a hell of a lot better in the morning, despite having lost to Killua so easily. He'll be angry when he wakes up in the morning and he'll whine but it's for the best.

The poor boy really is exhausted.

---

Killua's lips turn in a soft smile as his sensitive ears pick up on the change in Gon on the other line. He can hear the quiet breathing that's coming out of parted lips, whatever Gon was saying was left forgotten. Killua knows Gon has fallen asleep. As Killua knew he would, but the other man had to be tired if he fell asleep mid sentence. That's a shame. Killua was a little interested to know what Gon was going to sing. He wonders if Gon is a good singer...

Now that Gon is asleep this is the time for Killua to hang up right? That's what a normal person would do but Killua finds himself just laying in bed, listening to Gon breathing on the other line. His sensitive ears being able to pick it up as if Gon was right here with him. Killua's finger is over the end button but he doesn't push it in, the assassin finding that he can't get rid of the smile on his lips or this feeling in his chest. There's something comforting about listening to Gon sleep. Killua knows that what he's doing is creepy as shit but he can't help it.

He's been on the phone with Gon for four hours. They've been talking non stop and Killua hasn't gotten bored. No, he's had fun. Just sitting around, talking to Gon. The other male made him smile, made him angry and made him flush. So many emotions in so little time. Killua tried flirting with Gon a bit at the end when they were talking about mates, trying to ease his way into his role that he's going to be putting on tomorrow.

He wasn't expecting to learn that Gon hasn't mated with anyone...or how happy that made him. It filled him with this light, this hope, this relief. Gon hasn't been claimed by anyone. Killua can still be his first- Not that he is going to be his first...just...The assassin doesn't know. He's confused. These feelings are strange and he doesn't understand it. He wasn't even planning on talking to Gon like he did. He was just going to call him because his sister was pressuring him to do so and the fact that he thought Gon was ignoring him...and that made him feel anxious. He started to worry about the damage he may have caused but of course Gon was fine. Nothing gets him down. As Gon kept talking, so did Killua, and he just didn't want to stop.

Now Gon is asleep, and Killua is still on the phone. The assassin isn't tired. He's too hyped up to go to sleep and as he told Gon, he can go for days without sleep. Listening to Gon's soft breathing, Killua doesn't want to sleep. The assassin's ears twitch on the top of his head as he picks up the shifting of the sheets, Gon must be moving in his sleep.

Killua's eyes become half lidded, and if Killua could see his smile, he would be embarrassed by how he looks. Killua closes his eyes, wondering how Gon looks right now. Is he curled into a ball? Under the covers? How does his face look? Does he take up all the bed? In Killua's mind he pictures Gon laying on his side, his legs curled up, his lips slightly parted and that bright face calmed into a peaceful glow. Cute...Laying here, being able to hear Gon, it feels like the other male is with him. This large bed doesn't feel so big anymore. After Gon said something about him feeling lonely sleeping alone in such a big bed, Killua has noticed it. It is a big bed and yesterday, after he did...the deed, all he could do was lay their and stare at the ceiling, thinking about what he done and why he had done it...and all he could think about is that...

His bed is too big for just himself.

The day just went by and he thought that if he would not talk to Gon that these weird feelings would go away but if anything it just made him anxious and annoyed. He doesn't want to ignore Gon and he doesn't want to be ignored. There's a want in him, a desire and it burns.

Like right now, listening to Gon's calm breathing while he lays in bed with his own eyes closed, picturing the other male next to him in those bed...Killua burns. He feels warm and his body is moving without him thinking about it. He reaches out, as if to touch the boy that isn't really here, wanting to feel him and bring him closer. Killua's body is hot and he knows what's going on down below. He won't act on it. He refuses. He focuses just on Gon's soft breathing, trying to keep his thoughts from turning into something strange. The fact he's still listening is strange but he doesn't think about that.

His mind is being flooded with images of Gon and he still can't help to wonder what he looks right now. Is he smiling, is his hair disheveled? Is he wearing anything? Killua's breath hitches and his eyes snap open. That's a dangerous train of thought but the idea has already rooted itself in his brain. Gon thinks clothes are troublesome, Killua doubts he would sleep in them. Killua feels hot, his ears flattening on top of his head as he bites his lip hard enough to draw blood. He grips his sheets and he grinds his teeth.

"How pathetic." Killua mumbles, laughing to himself but it's a humorless chuckle. This desire and how severe it is. It's made him sick and his body wantonly reacts to it. In this darkened room, all alone, with nothing but Gon's breathing, Killua is able to realize how desperately...he wants the other male. Killua's boxers have become tight and he knows if this continues he'll end up giving into these strange desires. With a shaky hand Killua ends the phone call, getting rid of Gon's soft breathing, leaving Killua alone in this large bed.

Killua lays very still, very stiff, trying to wipe his mind of all thoughts as he just stares at the ceiling. He'll ignore his problem. He'll ignore how warm he is...but as he stares at the ceiling, alone in this room, without Gon on the phone...

He can't help to think to himself that his bed is too big.

---

"Should we go over it again?" Alluka smiles excitedly over at her brother, the two Zoldcyks standing in front of the school, waiting in their normal spot for the spiky haired male.

"I think I got it. You didn't stop talking about it last night." Killua grumbles, shifting from foot to foot every once in awhile. He feels restless, knowing what he's about to do, how he's about to act. It shouldn't bother at him all. Killua has been raised to be an actor. The better you're able to lie, the more likely you are to survive in this world. Killua was taught this at a young age. He knows how to fit the part. He knows how to act like he's into someone, he knows how to seduce someone. He's done it before. So this isn't different. It's just Gon. Only Gon.

Killua glares at a couple of girls who have stopped to gawk at him, their mouths open and a bit of drool falling out. They squeak and run off. Killua rolls his eyes, his eyebrows furrowing in annoyance. "I know I look good but damn, do they have to stare like that?"

"This just comes to show that you look really good brother! I'm sure Gon won't be able to resist you." Alluka smiles knowingly as she looks over at her brother. Killua's cheeks flare up and he looks away from his sister. Why the hell his heart beating faster? Why did he feel excited when Alluka said that? He's playing an act. Be professional. Killua knew what he was doing when him and Alluka picked out this outfit. This outfit is only used when Killua needs to seduce others. He would never wear it for any other reason than work.

The outfit itself is simple. It's a blue button up shirt with baggy jeans. The button up shirt is unbutton to about the level of his nipples, showing just a bit of his pale, muscular chest. The button up shirt is also short sleeved so his arm muscles are displayed and his jeans are low on his waist, so low that anyone can see the dip of his hips. The outfit is too showy for Killua's liking but there's another factor added into this outfit. Alluka fixed his hair this morning, brushing and teasing his hair, making his white locks look even more puffy. She even put a little make up on his eyes, saying that it would add to their pop factor or something. When Killua looked in the mirror, he realized she put some eye liner on his upper lid, making his eyes look sharp. Killua didn't admit it, but his sister knows what she's doing. The make up looks good on him surprisingly.

The thought of Gon seeing him like this though made this shiver go down his spine and he felt anxious, he still does. He can't help to wonder if Gon will gawk at him like all these stupid girls are. There's something gnawing at him in the back of his mind...what if he's not enough? What if Gon doesn't even react to this?...and what if he does? Killua swallows and he shifts from foot to foot, this sharp eyes looking around for Gon.

"It'll work." Killua tenses, looking over at his sister who is smiling so gently. "Trust me." Could she sense he was getting worried about it?

"I know." Killua grunts, looking forward, glaring ahead. "I will get Gon to fall in love with me easily. The poor bastard isn't going to know what hit him once I'm done with him." Killua grins but it feels strange on his face. He makes sure it doesn't look strange. "I'll show you how good I am at acting sis." Killua winks. "We'll have Gon away from Kurapika in no time." He smirks but on the inside his heart is beating way too fast. He still can't calm his body down. This is an act. This isn't something to worry about. It's a prank. It's not real. Killua knows how to act, he knows how to lie. This won't be anything different.

"Killua, Alluka!" Killua perks up at the voice, picking Gon out pretty quickly. The other male just ran out of some bushes, and he's running straight for them, a big smile on his face. "Damn I lost last night didn't I Killua? I fell asleep. I was pretty tired." Gon whines as he stops right in front of them. Those amber eyes finally lock on Killua, and only Killua. Blue orbs stare into amber. Killua watches Gon's body tense up, a soft blush covering those tan cheeks before he glances away, shifting slightly.

Killua feels his mouth go dry. He caused that blush on Gon's face. Does he like it? Does he like seeing him like this?

"Wow Killua...you look amazing." Gon looks back at him, a large, kind, smile on his lips, those amber eyes so bright. "Did you do something different? Your hair and eyes seem a little different...I really like it. Killua looks really good."

Killua opens his mouth, only to choke on whatever words that were going to come out. He finds his face flare up and he can't stop his blush. He opens and clenches his fist, his mind going into a panic. He's suppose to be saying how good Gon looks. He's suppose to be reeling Gon in but all he's doing is staring at Gon like a gaping fist. His heart is hammering in his chest and all he can think about is that Gon is looking at him. Gon called him amazing...Gon really likes how he looks and Killua is causing a reaction in the other male. Just that fact alone threatens to snap something in Killua's brain.

"Hm? Killua are you okay?" Gon tilts his head when Killua just keeps staring at him with a blank expression.

"Big brother?" Alluka frowns slightly.

"I-I'm fine..." Killua licks his dry lips but his heart won't calm down. What is he suppose to be doing again? Right...seducing Gon. He's doing an awful job. His grandfather would be disappointed. This is pathetic. Killua has always been able to fill out all the roles he's had to play. So why is he standing here like a deer caught in headlights? Why does he feel like running?...Killua takes a deep breath but when he locks eyes with amber, he holds back a whimper. Gon's bright eyes are staring at him with confusion and concern. It's enough to make Killua's heart to skip a beat. And once again he's frozen. Killua feels his face heat up even more, the tips of his ears getting warm. He must look like a fucking idiot right now, just gaping at Gon. Why is he so weird? why can't he act right when it comes to Gon?

Gon stares at him for a moment longer before his eyes light up. "Oh let me give you this before I forget!" Gon hands Killua a plastic bag, his panic being forgotten now that he has something else to focus on.

"What's this?" Killua digs into the bag, his eyes widening slightly as he pulls out a box, an all too familiar box. "Chocolate robots!" Killua looks at Gon, his eyebrow raising in confusion but his chest feels tight and warm and...

"They're your favorite right?" Gon smiles and it's so... "When we went to the candy store you bought so many of them but I didn't make enough to get you a whole bag full. It may not be too much right now but don't worry, I'll be getting you more. I wanted to get something as a token of my apology. I felt awful yesterday. I hope they make you happy Killua."

Gon bought me chocolate? A whole plastic bag full of chocolate robots...these things aren't the cheapest thing either. Killua's sure Gon spent about 100 dollars on this chocolate for him. He spent the money he just earned to get him chocolate and he remembered his favorite snack. Even after what Killua did to him yesterday...Gon did this for him. He was never angry with him, even after he bit him.

Killua swallows the lump in his throat, his muscles in his neck doing a spasm. The warmth has spread from his fingers, throughout his body. He finds his blue eyes lighting up and he can't hide how he feels right now.

He's...happy.

"Thanks... You didn't have to do this though idiot." Killua mumbles but his voice is too soft. "I could buy myself chocolate. You didn't have to spend your money. I already forgave you..." Killua looks up from the chocolate to see Gon smiling so largely, a relief in his eyes.

"I wanted to spend my money on you Killua! I wanted to buy you chocolate! You've been so kind to me, buying me food and letting me into your home. I wanted to give you something that you like."Gon looks so pleased with the idea that he made Killua happy. He lets out this cute little laugh, his nose crinkling up. Killua feels his arms get covered in goosebumps. That warmth, that itch, that desire grows...along with the fond smile on Killua's face. The assassin was doom from the start but the poor boy doesn't even know it.

"Aww that was so nice Gon." Alluka covers her face, her cheeks getting flushed and there's this smile on her face that is wide. She gives Killua a nudge and he feels himself freeze up again. He knows what she's pushing him for. Killua needs to do more then just thank him.

"I'll have to...get you something in return for this." Killua swallows down what ever nervousness he feels and takes a step forward, making his voice lower. As he walks closer he subtlety flexes his muscles, his heart beating faster when he sees Gon has noticed it.

"O-Oh you don't have to Killua." Gon smiles brightly, that soft blush coming back to his cheeks that makes Killua just want to throw him on the ground and..."You've gotten me enough." Gon starts to look Killua up and down with no shame, the assassin feels his mouth go dry and he freezes again. "I really like your clothes. They show off your muscles Killua!"

"You like what you see?" Killua gives him his most charming smile, brushing his hair back, his eyes half lidded. On the inside he's flipping out. Talking to Gon like this, all low and sensual. It's embarrassing. Killua has said things more lewd and sexual then this to complete strangers but Gon is making him nervous.

"Yeah I do!" Gon beams and those amber eyes are too innocence. Can't he tell in his voice that he's flirting with him? Or is Gon just super dense? This is going to be harder than he thought.

"Do you want to touch me?" Killua leans in, whispering huskily into Gon's ears, feeling his own cheeks heat up from his own words. Killua licks the shell of Gon's ear, not really thinking about it. When he saw that Gon's ear has healed, he couldn't help himself. He feels Gon's ear get warm with blood.

"Can I?" Gon turns his head to look at Killua, those amber eyes are bright with an excitement and those cheeks are flushed.

"Go ahead." Killua finds himself saying, swallowing thickly, his heart beating faster. He's forgotten where he is, what he's doing. Now all he can think about is where Gon is going to touch him. Killua's eyes widen when Gon hugs Killua, burying his head into his chest, sighing happily. Killua tenses up, taking a sharp intake of breath at the warmth that is Gon. With Killua's chest being exposed, Gon's hot cheek is pressed against Killua's flesh. He can feel Gon's breathing on his warming skin. Killua's heart is beating so rapidly. His fingers twitch, frozen on the spot for a moment but when his sister makes a sound, he remembers what he's suppose to do.

Slowly, ever so slowly, Killua warps his arms around Gon's waist, for the first time, hugging the other male back. Killua's breath hitches in his throat when Gon looks up, beaming at him, looking so happy. The assassin feels like he's done something, by hugging Gon back for the first time, by returning Gon's show of affection, he feels like he's gotten closer to Gon. He feels like something is breaking down inside of him and he shouldn't feel like this. Killua is only acting. This isn't real...so why the hell is his heart beating like this and his stomach feels like it's fluttering just from Gon tightening his grip on him.

"Wow! Killua you're hugging me back!" Gon giggles, nuzzling his head into Killua's chest. "And you haven't pushed me off yet-"

Killua pushes Gon off, his face getting too hot for his liking. "W-We're going to be late for class." Killua turns to start walking only to stop when he sees his sister giving him this sly smile. Killua raises his eyebrow at her, hoping she doesn't notice the slight panic he felt at such a look. It's not like his sister can see what he's feeling right? This was all her idea anyway! He only hugged Gon back because of her and her stupid plan.

"Yeah you're right!" Gon's eyes widen like he forgot about school, he skips up to Killua, this smile too big. "That was the first time we hugged! We should hug more often Killua! I liked it!"

"Don't go shouting stuff out like that!" Killua snaps, that warm feeling spreading through his chest.

"I think you two should hug more often too Gon." Alluka smiles, handing Killua the bag of chocolate Gon had gotten him.

"Oh Alluka!" Gon moves so he's walking in between the two Zoldycks, his eyes wide with merriment. "Now I remember what I wanted to tell you guys! I had a crazy dream last night and you both were in it!" Gon looks between Alluka and Killua, the two zoldycks both look interested.

"Really what was it about?" Alluka can't help to smile at how excited Gon looks.

"Okay so in my dream we were all at McDonald's for some reason and Killua was angry at me because I was wearing a shirt made of chocolate. Alluka, you were sitting on top of the counter and you had a crown on your head. You were the queen of McDonald's in my dream and all of a sudden there were a bunch of people in McDonald's and Killua was bring me closer to you and I was in hand cuffs."

"I was the queen of McDonald's?" Alluka can't help to giggle.

"Sounds like me. I would be pissed if you were wearing chocolate. What a waste." Killua chuckles, seeming to enjoy this weird little story of Gon's. "Keep going. Did I cuff you for your crimes against chocolate?"

"No, you cuffed me because Alluka was angry that I destroyed a McDonald's. She sentence me to be flushed down the toilet. In the dream, I was really scared because I didn't understand how I would have flushed down the toilet." By this time Alluka and Killua are both chuckling but Gon keeps going. "Killua was about to put me in the toilet when Leorio came out of no where and was like 'I'll save you Gon!' but he tripped over his feet and he fell into the toilet instead. He got flushed down the toilet." Gon frowns at that part but Killua is cracking up. "Then Alluka said something like, the toilet has been appeased. McDonald's has been avenged. And then everyone went back to eating their food and I was left staring at the toilet and then I woke up."

"What the fuck." Killua wipes at his eye. "What kind of dreams do you have?"

"I can't believe Leorio got flushed down the toilet. "Alluka giggles not able to help it.

"The toilet has been appeased?" Killua sputters into laughter after he had stopped. "God, I have to tell that old man about this. He'd have a fit."

"I'm sure you had that weird dream because of what you did yesterday with McDonald's." Alluka smiles as the three walk into their math class.

"Yeah that's what I was thinking. It was really weird though." Gon chuckles.

"I should get you a crown sis, I didn't know you were royalty." Killua chuckles. "My queen of McDonald's."

"And what a graceful queen I am." Alluka giggles. The three share a laugh as they sit down in their regular spot, Gon sitting between Alluka and Killua. The assassin has once again forgotten about his plan and what he's suppose to be doing. Gon is too distracting.

Killua finds the smile wiping off his face when he feels that they're being watched. Killua slowly glances over to see Hisoka is staring at Gon with this strange smile on his face and Illumi is staring at him with those blank eyes.

They're both no good. Killua glares at Hisoka, his blue eyes getting dark in warning. Hisoka notices this and only smirks. Only then does he realize that Kurapika is also looking at Gon. Killua snarls, the hairs on the back of his neck prickling up. Kurapika sees this and looks forward. Back the fuck up Vampire.

"Good morning class. I bet you all enjoyed not having any homework to do." Brisky walks into the classroom, her fists on her hips as she grins at her students. "Enjoy it while it lasts. Today we're going to be breaking up into pairs to do some work. I'll be picking the groups so don't even ask."

"Ohh Brisky can I be paired with Gon?" Hisoka speaks up, licking his lips, giving Brisky this look that would make most either cringe or bite their lip with desire.

"No." Killua speaks up before Brisky does.

"We'll see if you get him. In this hat I have everyone's names, I'm going to pick two and they will be partners-"

"I'm with my sis." Killua's expression gets dark.

"Yes I know Killua. You two aren't a part of this." She rolls her eyes before she digs into the hat. Killua can't help to be tense as she keeps calling out names, pairing people together. So far she hasn't called Gon, Kurapika or Hisoka. Gon could get paired with them-

"Kurapika and Hisoka." Brisky calls out. Killua can't help to grin, a relief washing over him. The two people he was worried Gon would be paired up with ended up getting paired together. Ha. Serves the vampire right-

"Gon and Illumi."

The smirk Killua had on his face gets wiped off, his chest getting tight in a sort of panic. Alluka's face gets pale too. She must be thinking the same thing.

"Illumi?" Gon's eyes flash as if he recognizes that name, his eyebrows furrowing to something close to a glare. "Who's illumi?"

The man in question stands up, his tall, thin appearance casting a dark shadow on everyone under him. "That's me." His voice is blank and his expression doesn't change. Killua wants to grab Gon and tell him stay with them. He almost does if not for Gon rushing over to Illumi, Killua not able to see his face or to gauge what he's thinking.

They stare at each other for a moment before they sit down, aways from Killua, in the corner. Gon's back is to him so all he can see is Illumi's face. Killua bites his lip, his stomach twisting... Illumi won't do anything. Not here. He doesn't have anything to worry about. Killua looks at Alluka and can see that she's starting to sweat.

"I have a bad feeling about this brother..." Alluka glances up at Killua, the frown on her lips making Killua's blood boil. Illumi has put his sister through enough shit. Of course she's worried about Gon being with Illumi. The bastard could do anything, even if not physically, mentally. Killua puts a hand on his sister's shoulder, giving her a reassuring smile.

"It's okay. He'll be fine." Killua hopes he sounds more reassuring than he feels. Hisoka and Kurapika are also looking over at Gon and Illumi. If Kurapika is Gon's mate he must be worried. If Kurapika is Gon's mate why isn't he doing anything about this? The blonde just looks away like it's not happening. Hisoka just keeps watching, this smirk on his lips.

Killua should do something. Gon is his sister's friend and she's worried...Gon is his friend. He needs to protect him from his brother.

He won't let Illumi do anything to Gon.

---

"So you're Illumi." Gon locks eyes with those blank orbs of the man sitting in front of him. Gon feels a growl in the back of his throat from just looking at him. There's something that Gon doesn't like about him, his instinct telling him that this guy is bad news. This Illumi was who Alluka was afraid of back when Hisoka was threatening Alluka so he could come in and hang out with them at Kurapika's dorm. Alluka got pale and she started to sweat. She was terrified of the idea of this guy. Gon wants to growl at this man, he wants to show aggression because this man is a threat to Alluka in some way. And Gon's going to find out how.

"So you're Gon." Illumi hums, his face not changing even when Gon is outwardly glaring at him. Those black eyes just keep staring, and staring. Gon keeps staring back.

"What did you do to Alluka?" Gon doesn't look away from Illumi when Brisky puts a piece of paper between them.

"What do you mean? I haven't done anything to it."

"I know you're lying." Gon's eyes narrow. "Just from hearing your name, Alluka got really pale and nervous. Why is Alluka scared of you? What did you do?"

"Nothing. I've only done what's needed to be done." Illumi puts his hand up as if showing he's innocent. "Why do you care about it?"

"It?" Gon questions, his eyebrows furrowing at this strange man. It's like his face doesn't move, as if his flesh is made of plastic. No emotion crosses his expression.

"Yes it. The thing that you have been spending your time with." Illumi points behind Gon, getting him to turn his head. The young werewolf feels his stomach twist when he sees Illumi is pointing at Alluka. His friend is looking over at them, tensing when Illumi points at her, those blue eyes shaking. Killua's expression is so dark and he looks like he's about to get up.

"Don't call her that." Gon turns his attention back on Ilumi, growling. His amber eyes set on fire. "She's not a thing. Alluka is really nice and cute and she makes really nice clothes and she likes stuffed animals and she knows how to heal others. She's great-"

"You don't know anything about It do you?" Illumi leans closer, those blank eyes not changing. "The thing has you fooled. You believe it's female. I'm sure Kil hasn't told you the truth-"

"Illumi." Killua snarls from across the room. Gon can hear the other male get up from his seat. "Say anything more-"

"What will you do Kil?" Illumi looks up calmly. Gon doesn't turn around but the air In the room has become so thick that it feels like the room is closing in on them. All the students are working quietly, their faces pale. Hisoka and Kurapika are watching, Gon can sense it.

"Killua sit down and get to work. Illumi, I don't see that you've started working on the questions with Gon. Don't make me get angry with you two." Brisky's voice gets low. Gon hears Killua sit back down but he still hasn't looked away from Illumi who is just staring at him now.

"Why are you so mean to Alluka. Who are you?" Gon leans in, glaring at this man.

"I'm Kil's older brother. I would think he would tell you that. I suppose you two aren't as close as I thought." Illumi hums, those blank eyes finally looking away from Gon to look down at the math paper that Brisky gave them.

"Wait your Killua's big brother? Then you're Alluka's brother too!" Gon's eyes widen. His two friends really haven't said anything about Illumi or that he's their brother. The only other sibling Gon knows about is the guy Killua was making fun of for being big.

"I am not its brother. It is not a part of our family."

"What are you saying?" Gon feels his body heat up from his anger. He doesn't like him. He doesn't like how his face doesn't change. He doesn't like how he's saying this like it's nothing. "If you're Killua's brother then your Alluka's brother too! She's not an it! She's your sister, why are you being mean to her?-"

"you know nothing about our family Gon." Illumi eyes mechanically lock with Gon's again. "You don't know what Alluka is do you?"

"She's...um..." Gon falters a little when he realizes he doesn't know what creature Alluka is. She never said when he thinks about it. "She hasn't told me but she doesn't have to-"

"You have good instinct. Your eyes are pure." Illumi moves in closer. "But i'm telling you that you do not want to get involved with it. That thing is not female. It's a male. It can give you no offspring. There is no reason to make it your mate."

"Alluka isn't a boy. She's a girl. What are you talking about?" Gon tilts his head, now he's just getting confused. "I'm not looking to make Alluka my mate. She's a really good friend of mine."

"Friend?" Illumi clicks his tongue. "It has killed countless people, so much so that Kil has to be right by its side unless he wants someone to kill it. It's hated, why would you be friends with such a thing? It thinks it's a girl but it is a boy. Lift that dress and you'll see what it's hiding. Kil wants to trick you into mating with it, but being the kind person I am, I wanted to make sure that you knew what it is."

"If you're their brother then that means you're an assassin too. So you've killed a lot of people too." Gon glares, his blood boiling at the way he's speaking. "I don't get what you're saying about Alluka being a boy but stop calling her an it. She's your sister! And I know you've done something to her for her to be scared of you. Killua isn't trying to trick me to do anything. I wanted to be Alluka's friend before I even knew Killua."

"I don't understand. If you don't know what it is, why would you even want to be around the thing?-"

"Don't call her that!" Gon growls, standing up from his seat, his body feeling hot. Gon grabs Illumi's arm, ripping him up from his seat, his grip strong enough he knows he's broken his Humor bone. Illumi just stares at him, not flinching, not showing an anger or pain.

The student's gasp and Brisky looks up from the magazine she was reading.

"Gon!" Killua and Alluka stand up from their seat, both looking over at Gon with wide eyes, and a little bit of worry.

"If you hurt Alluka, I'll make you regret it." Gon's voice is low, his eyes becoming close to black. He tightens his grip, hearing the bone crack and grate.

"Really?" Illumi doesn't say much else. "If you're not going to heed my warning then maybe I should get rid of you." Illumi expression doesn't change. Gon hears Alluka gasp and the air behind them has gotten so thick.

Kurapika and Hisoka stand up now. The magician's yellow eyes narrow at Illumi, his arms crossed. Gon doesn't show any fear, he continues to glare at Illumi, ready to fight this man. There's something in his head telling him that this man will continue to be an issue. Illumi has done something to Alluka and he speaks about her so meanly...Gon almost feels like turning and showing this guy who he's messing with. But he can't.

"Illumi." Brisky's eyes narrow.

"Gon get over here." There's no room in Killua's voice. That was an order. Gon's suppose to work with this guy but he knows he can't.

"I'm sorry Brisky. I can't work with him. I'll have to take a zero on this assignment." Gon lets go of Illumi, turning his attention to Brisky, putting his hands together as if in prayer. The darkness in his eyes has completely left him.

"No that's alright Gon. Why don't you finish up with Alluka and Killua? Illumi you can work by yourself. I don't even know why I try." Brisky sits back on her desk when Illumi sits down, his face staying blank. He makes no move to attack Gon.

"Thank you." Gon smiles, glad Brisky is an understanding teacher as he turns on his heel and walks back to Killua and Alluka who are staring at him with wide eyes. Hisoka has sat back down and so has Kurapika. All the students are staring at Gon.

"He's so bad ass..."

"Did you see that? He broke Illumi's arm. Illumi's arm!"

"He's too awesome. I can't even..."

"Does anyone else have a boner? No? It's just me? Well that's great."

"Shh guys you know what happened to those other group of students. Illumi slaughtered them for whispering about them."

"I can't stop looking at him."

"Gon..." Alluka fiddles with her fingers when Gon gets over to them, sitting in his seat and smiling brightly like none of that just happened. "W-What did he say to you? I've never seen you get so mad before."

"He was saying mean things about you and I didn't like it. I remember you got scared when you heard his name before, I just wanted to know what he did to you. He wouldn't answer that, but he kept calling you an it and it was really pissing me off." Gon can't help to curse, he still feels overheated. He had to get away from that guy or he would have done something he would have regretted.

"O-Oh well don't get to worked up Gon. That was dangerous doing that to Illumi. I was really worried." Alluka's eyebrows furrow. "I'm use to him calling me that so-"

"But it's not right. I don't like it. He was being mean Alluka." Gon grips his fist. "And he's your brother! I didn't even know that in till now! He kept saying you weren't family either and I just..." Gon locks eyes with Alluka, those blue eyes getting glossed over.

"I didn't tell you that he was our brother because he's a dick as you can see." Killua glares over towards Illumi before he looks at Gon, those blue eyes too different. Killua is studying him and then looking at Alluka. "...Stay away from him Gon."

"Y-Yes please." Alluka swallows, reaching over to pat Gon on the hand.

"There's no reason for you to get involved in our family issues." Killua watches Gon carefully, still glancing over at Illumi every once in a while.

"Has he tried to hurt you Alluka?" Gon frowns, looking at his friend in concern.

"I just told you. There's no reason for you to get involved in our family issues." Killua snaps when Alluka shifts in her seat. "There's a reason we have our own place, separate from the other members of the family stupid-"

"Your other family members want to hurt you?" Gon picks up on that, when he sees Alluka's shoulders slump, he bites his lip. "I really don't like that Alluka. You're great! Why would they be so mean? You're one of the nicest, smartest, and talented person that I know!"Alluka's eyes widen and she looks up to see Gon giving her the brightest of smiles, those amber eyes so honest. Alluka looks down, and she covers her face with her hands.

"There's no reason for it." Killua's voice is so low.

"Gon...Can you promise me something?" Alluka puts her hands down, those blue eyes are a bit watery as she looks at her friend. "If Illumi ever tries to talk to you alone...run away. Don't fight him. I don't want him to hurt you."

"I won't try to fight him Alluka, but if he tries to hurt you, I can't promise that I won't defend you." Gon gives her this determined look.

"...You really broke his fucking arm." Killua glances back to see that Illumi's arm is twisted oddly, the older man not doing much about it though.

"Will he come after Gon brother?" Alluka still can't calm down.

"I don't know." Killua answers honestly, the assassin looks a bit restless as well. "Damn I should have just told Brisky to suck it and brought you over here. Of course he would try to start something."

"Did he...say anything else?" Alluka bites her lip, looking at Gon with those big blue eyes. Killua locks eyes with Gon, they're both staring at him, wondering, worrying. Gon can feel it.

"He kept calling you a boy." Gon's eyebrows furrow when Alluka stiffens and Killua growls, gripping into his seat. "I kept telling him you're a girl but he kept saying it. It was really weird. He also said that you killed a lot of people." Alluka looks close to hyperventilating.

"Alluka is a girl." Killua's eyes narrow, his voice so dark. "He has no right talking to you about that-"

"So h-he told you huh?" Alluka's face is so red with shame, she kicks her feet, looking up at Gon who is staring at her with those big confused orbs. "About the people I've killed...that's why I'm hated around here. That's why before you, I've had no friends. I don't have control of it most of the time. And after word got out of what I am, Brother had to keep everyone away, not knowing if they just wanted to use me for my abilities. You're my first real friend and you don't even know what I am. I haven't been honest with you." Alluka wipes at her eyes that's starting to pour with tears.

"H-Hey sis you don't have to talk to him about this-"

"Gon I've killed thousands of people. I'm a dangerous being. And i'm...I may have been born male but I feel like a girl. I-I've been called a freak since day one. I don't want to lose you as a friend, but I don't want Illumi being the one to tell you all this." Alluka sniffles, wiping at her eyes. "And I don't want you to be hurt by Illumi. Why can't he just leave us alone?"

"Sis..." Killua's lips turn in a frown, those blue eyes dulling.

"I don't care what you've done Alluka. I know you." Alluka tenses, looking up at Gon with wide, watery eyes. "You just said you don't have control of this power and if that's the case I know you didn't want to hurt those people. I'm a little surprised to find out that you were born male but if you feel like a female then that's what you are! If I felt in my heart of hearts I was a girl, then that's what I would be. Life is about following your heart, that's what Mito always taught me. I like Alluka like this, dressed all nice and cute. I like Alluka just the way she is. Don't be worried, you'll never lose me as a friend! I've decided that I like you Alluka and that's not going to change." Gon beams. "And don't worry about Illumi. I won't let him hurt you and he won't hurt me either. I'm going to get really strong Alluka and then you won't have to worry about anything."

Alluka stares at Gon, her cheeks flushed from her crying, and once Gon is finished with his speech...The tears fall more. But those blue eyes are so bright as she grips the fabric above her heart. "Me and my brother have been blessed..."She wipes her nose before she leans over, hugging Gon tightly, burying her head into his chest. "Some times I still can't believe you're a real person, that you're really my friend and that all these fun times are happening. I really can't believe this, but i'm so happy."

Killua watches this with his eyes slightly widen, even the assassin seems taken aback by Gon's speech but when he sees his sister pull away, a bright smile on her lips... Killua's blue eyes get deep.

"Of course I'm a real person!" Gon grins. "It would be weird if I wasn't."

"Yes a real person who dreams of me being the McDonald's queen." Alluka chuckles, getting herself together, those blue eyes seem lighter, a weight off her shoulders.

"A real person who blew up McDonald's last night." Killua grins, the air becoming lighter between them.

"Hey, Knuckle said it was a justice."

"You believe him?"

Alluka smiles, watching Gon and Killua going back and forth...Soon Killua is playful pushing Gon on the shoulder, a smile gracing those pale lips.

Gon...I want you for my brother. I want you to stay. I want us all to be together.

---

"Hey Gon."

Gon glances over at Killua, the two of them just sitting down for Kite's class. Alluka is talking up front with Kite about something and Gon has noticed that Kurapika still isn't in the class yet. Killua is staring at him intently, those blue eyes intense. Gon feels his heart beat faster, and he swallows down this feeling. He hopes his body stops acting weird. He had trouble hiding his ears and tail again today and when Gon saw Killua dressed in the outfit he is in...Gon got really warm and his stomach felt strange.

Gon's still having trouble not touching Killua's chest. Since the pale flesh is exposed, Gon has the urge to touch it and lick it. He's licked his people before but he's never had such an urge to do so like he does with Killua. And the way Killua looks with his puffy hair and his muscles is just...wow. Killua is really attractive. Gon can't help to look at Killua's lips, remembering the feel of them on his own...Gon wants to do that again. He really does. Now that it's just him and Killua sitting next to each other, Gon really has the urge to just lean over and kiss him. But Killua said he wouldn't kiss Gon till he stopped being friends with Kurapika. And Gon can't do that.

"...Thanks for what you did back there." Killua looks forward, his cheeks getting flushed, snapping Gon out of his thoughts. "My sis was really scared Illumi would have said something that would have scared you away. But you didn't let him bother you. You handled learning about my sister's secret well too. I was worried at first. I didn't know how you would react. When people find out she's a transgender they get this disgusted look on their faces, a look of disapproval. It pisses me off." Killua tightens his fist only to loosen it. "But you didn't do that. Not once did you look at my sister any differently so...thanks. You really calmed her down."

"You don't have to thank me Killua. It's how I really felt. I wouldn't be disgusted of Alluka. How she feels makes Alluka who she is." Gon smiles, his amber eyes seem to sparkle to the assassin. "And I like Alluka."

"Yeah." Killua looks forward, scratching his cheek. "As a friend right?"

"Right!" Gon beams. "As a friend!" Gon blinks. "that reminds me. That Illumi guy kept talking like he thought I was trying to mate with Alluka."

"Really?" Killua raises his eyebrow before shaking his head. "Just ignore him Gon. Really, don't talk to him anymore. Illumi's dangerous and if you make him an enemy, I won't be there all the time to protect you."

"I don't need protection from him. If he does anything to hurt you or Alluka, he'll need protection from me." Gon's eyes get darker. He notices it with Killua too, the slight tensing of his shoulders when they talk about Illumi or when he was around Illumi. Gon could smell his sweat. Killua was worried, he was frighten by Illumi. Gon doesn't trust this guy. Killua doesn't want to answer his questions and he doesn't want Gon getting involved with their family but it's hard not to. He cares about these two Zoldycks too much.

Illumi might be strong but Gon will be stronger for his friends. He won't let them down.

Killua's eyes widen at Gon's voice getting lower and those darkening of his eyes. Killua licks his lips, staring at Gon curiously but his cheeks have gotten flushed.

"Don't do anything reckless idiot. Illumi could kill you in a heart beat and my sister would be devastated-"

"For you guys, I can be really strong." Gon smiles, letting those words linger. Gon's not sure if he could just sit idle while Illumi hurts Alluka or Killua. He would turn. Gon knows he would. He would expose himself for these two.

And once they know what he is...will they still look at him like they are? Will Alluka still see him as his friend? Will Killua? Gon hopes so. He believes so. But he doesn't know.

Killua's eyes light up, he stares at Gon with his lips slightly parted before he looks forward, laying his head down on the table.

"...You're hopeless you know that." Killua's face is flushed. "Saying such a thing with a look like that...Like you would give your life and not give a damn about it. I'm telling you this now, just stay away from Illumi. If anything were to happen to you I..." Killua trials off. He swallows. "...Just stay away from him."

"As long as you guys aren't in danger, I will."Gon thinks for a moment before he smiles, feeling his heart beat faster. "Hey Killua, if I promise I won't get around Illumi will you kiss me again?"

"H-Huh?!" Killua gets up from his desk from shock, the blush reaching his ears as he looks over at Gon like he's grown another head. Gon giggles from the reaction and he fiddles with his fingers, feeling kind of nervous for some reason.

"Would you kiss me again? Here?" Gon touches his lips, remembering the feel of Killua's over his and his heart skips a beat. "I want to again."

Killua stares at him for a long time, his face flushed and those eyes watching him as Gon touches his own lips. Killua's blue orbs get half lidded, the sight getting an excited shock to go down Gon's spine. Killua bares his teeth in a low growl, leaning closer. "I don't think so. Not when you're with Kurapika." Killua pulls back, smirking when Gon whines. "If you leave him, you can kiss me. All you want~" Killua licks his lips and it makes Gon feel really warm. All he wants?

"I can't leave Kurapika." Gon frowns, looking down at his desk so he doesn't have to look at Killua anymore. This sucks. Gon really wants to kiss Killua again. He's had the overwhelming urge to do the strange touching of mouths since he's seen Killua this morning. There's just something about the way Killua is looking today that makes Gon's mouth go dry.

"Why not?" Killua snarls, those blue eyes getting darker.

"Because I can't." Gon sits up straight when the bell rings and Alluka sits down next to them again. "Shh Killua, class is starting."

"I don't give a fuck about class." Killua's eye twitches at Gon shushing him.

"But it's Kite's class." Gon doesn't look at Killua, his eyebrows furrowing. He smiles when Kite stands in front of the class and he knows his tail would be wagging. He's very fond of Ging's friend. "I have to be good."

"Today we're going to be reading up on 'eater' plant." Kite points over to a potted plant that's sitting on a desk in front of the class. "This plant has the closest DNA sample of that of a human. It's highly intelligent and inside the eater plant is a nectar that can cure any poison. This is very helpful for you to know if you're ever in one of the enchanted forests. You can easily be poisoned and if you are not immune you will quickly need to find one of these plants to survive."

"Wow!" Gon's eyes widen in amazement. He has so many questions! Like whats the enchanted forest and how can you get poisoned? Gon raises his hand to speak.

"No questions. Just read." Kite waves Gon off, getting the younger male to pout.

"Denied." Killua smirks over at Gon who sends his pout over to Killua who tenses at the full power of his cuteness.

"You can share my book Gon." Alluka smiles, moving her book so Gon can see what she's reading. It's on a page talking about the eater plant! Gon's eyebrows furrow as he reads the pages intently, trying to understand what this is telling him. The words in this book are hard to understand. But what Gon has gotten out of this so far is that the Eater plant will eat pretty much anything and that they can sense vibrations? And understand words? Wow this is a smart plant- Gon's nose twitches when he feels someone staring at him. He looks over to see Killua watching him intently, his head propped up by his hand. Killua doesn't look away when Gon locks eyes with him...those blue orbs look Gon up and down slowly before looking into his amber orbs again. Gon feels warm. He needs to focus on school. He has a feeling that Killua is doing this on purpose.

The assassin reaches over and grabs Gon's hand, the young werewolf's eyes light up at such a show of affection. He smiles over at Killua and he can't help to tilt his head when Killua brings Gon's hand up to his lips, kissing it. Gon feels his cheeks flush and he smiles, Killua lets him go, Gon missing the warmth and the contact already. Killua's being really nice today. First the hug and now this.

Gon is about to say something but when he looks forward and sees Kite giving him a pointed look, Gon quickly goes back to reading. He really doesn't want to get in trouble with Kite! He wants to learn more about Ging.

Gon blinks soon after when Killua puts a piece of paper in his hand. Is Killua passing him notes?! Doesn't he know that's a bad? They went to detention for it! Despite Gon having a mini freak out he can't help to be curious as to what It says. So beyond his better judgement he opens up the note.

"I could treat you better than Kurapika. I could spoil you rotten. Just say the word and i'd buy it for you. Chose me, and i'll make it worth your while ;)"

Gon doesn't know how to respond to that. Why is Killua saying he could treat him better than Kurapika? And why does he want to? What is Gon choosing Killua for?

"I can't leave Kurapika." Gon writes back before giving it to Killua. Gon sees Killua scowl and rip up the note, now he looks pissed. Killua is glaring at him now. Gon shifts in his seat, trying to read his book but he can't help to notice the tension in the air. Gon tries not to look but Alluka has just given Killua a note. Gon's eyebrows furrow. Oh Kite is going to be mad if he finds out what they're doing. Gon can see that Killua is looking from Alluka's note before he writes something himself on another paper. Killua gives it to him.

"Don't you want me?"

"Of course I do Killua. But I can't leave Kurapika." Gon sends back.

Killua writes something, the pencil snapping from the force of it. "Why not? If you want me, all you have to do is leave him. It's simple. Then you can have me." says the next note.

"Don't I already have you?" Gon's eyebrows furrow and he gives it to Killua.

"We're not dating are we? So you don't have me. If you leave Kurapika, i'll do more than just kiss you." Killua sends this back.

"More than kiss me? What's that mean?" Gon can't help to question, completely forgetting he's suppose to be reading right now. What's more than kissing? Is there something else Gon doesn't know about.

"Anything you want it to mean babe." That's what Killua sends back to him. Gon tilts his head. Babe? Why is Killua calling him a baby?

"I'm confused Killua. I don't know what more than kiss means and then you said it's anything I want it to mean? But what do I want it to mean? And why are you calling me a baby?" Gon sends this back. Killua groans next to him.

"I was saying that it could be anything. Pretty much that I would sleep with you. And I didn't call you a baby, I called you a babe. I'm flirting with you idiot." He sends back.

"You mean you would sleep in the same bed as me?" Gon's eyes light up at the thought as he sends this to Killua.

"No! I mean I'll fuck you!" Killua shouts, his eyebrow twitching, glaring over at Gon. Killua tenses when everyone is looking at him, his blush reaching his ears before he snarls at the students. "What the fuck you looking at?" Everyone looks away. Alluka is blushing, covering her face. Gon's eyebrows are furrowed.

"Fuck?" Gon questions.

"Are you serious?! You're so dense!" Killua throws his arms in the air, his face getting redder. Killua groans, his head hitting against the desk with a thud. "Ugh why is this happening to me... I can't believe I just said that..."

"Um..." Kite looks at Killua with a blank expression before looking at Gon. "Okay...well now that...what ever that was is done, how about someone come up to show how you should handle a eater plant."

Gon frowns, looking over at Killua. Is Killua feeling sick again? He's all red in the face and he's holding his head while he has his head down on the table. He seemed really angry with Gon. What does fuck mean? Is Gon suppose to know?

"Killua? Are you okay?" Gon pokes his shoulder, trying to get Killua to respond to him. The other male grunts and that's about it.

"I'll do it!" A student walks up to the class, this grin on his face as he walks up to the eater plant. Gon looks up to the front, wanting to see how this person handles the pant. "So always approach the front, wait for the eater plant to open it's mouth..."

Gon glances back down at Killua who still has his head on the desk. He must be really upset. Gon frowns and touches Killua's shoulder. "Ne Killua?" When the other male doesn't respond to him, Gon pokes his cheek. "Are you mad Killua?"

"Don't touch me." Killua growls, earning him a kick by his sister. The assassin sighs, turning his head on the desk so Gon can see his face. Killua looks really red, a deep glare on his face. "How can you not know what fuck means?"

"I'm not use to the language here." Gon frowns. "Could you teach me what fuck means Killua?"

A strangled sound comes from Killua's lips, his mouth opening slightly as he stares at Gon with wide eyes, those blue orbs getting cloudy with something dark. Killua's blush has reached his neck and he opens and closes his mouth. He takes a sharp in take of breath, those blue eyes locking on him, targeting him. Killua's claws come out, gripping the desk, his pupils getting longer. Just when Gon is sure Killua is going to pounce on him there's a loud shriek from the front. Killua tenses, tearing those predatory eyes away from his prey to look towards the front, just as Gon and Alluka do.

The student is no longer standing in the front, where he was standing is a large blood stain, the plant's mouth splattered with red.

"That thing just ate Carl!"

"Holy shit."

"W-What just happened?" Gon's eyes widen at this. He turns his head for a couple of seconds and one of his classmates get eaten. When he looks around the room though, most of the students didn't even flinch or look the least bit upset.

"Another dumb ass died." Killua grunts, that blush leaving him and also that dark look. His face has become indifferent once more as he studies the scene with those icy blue eyes. Those eyes that Gon knows has seen plenty of this. "Nothing new. Like I said, people die every day here."

"That was so gruesome though." Alluka fiddles with her pencil.

"That was an example of what not to do. You never pull on the blue leaf. You pull on the red one. You see what will happen to you if you attempt to pull the blue leaf. You will be snatched up so quickly that there will be no time for anyone to react." Kite says this, staring at the blood stain on the floor, his face is blank but there's a bead of sweat on his cheek. Gon can tell. Kite's upset about the student dying. If the student made the mistake, Kite didn't have enough time to save him. "This is why when I say read, read. What i'm teaching you will decide whether you live or die out there. You must be more careful. And you must pay attention."

Kite locks eyes with Gon, getting the young werewolf to tense and to look down at his desk, knowing his ears would be flatten. Kite is talking to him directly. Gon wasn't paying attention to what was going on. He was too busy making sure Killua wasn't mad at him. Hopefully Kite doesn't count this as him getting in trouble. "These skills are important."

"I'll pay better attention." Gon nods his head, locking eyes with Kite, those amber eyes burning with that determination. Kite's right. These skills are important. If Gon is going to be a hunter dog, he's going to be in all sorts of places. He needs to know these skills so he can survive and be the best hunter he can be.

"We all will!" The other students agree.

Kite stares at Gon for a moment longer before he turns his back to the class, starting to write something on the board. Killua glances from Kite back to Gon, those sharp blue eyes seeming to catch that.

"Man he was looking right at you during the pay attention part." Killua grins when Gon shifts in his seat. "Looks like Gon got in trouble once again~"

"I did not." Gon glares at Killua. "And you weren't paying attention either Killua."

"Yeah but the teacher wasn't looking at me was he? He was looking at you." Killua teases, those blue eyes lighting up in that playful way.

"I think he was looking at the both of you brother." Alluka sighs, shaking her head. " You were being disruptive." Alluka gives Killua this pointed look Which Killua responds by scratching his cheek.

"Just doing what I got to do right sis?" Killua gives Alluka this look, the younger of the two seems to understand it because she sighs.

Gon can't help to notice that Kurapika still isn't here. The young werewolf is getting nervous. Why isn't Kurapika here? Just when Gon was starting to think of the blonde, the Vampire walks into the class room, his gray eyes tinged scarlet. Gon holds back his greeting, swallowing down the hello he wanted to shout out to his friend, so happy to see the other male.

Gon tenses when he notices that Killua is staring at him now, glaring at Gon before glaring at Kurapika. Killua's puffy hair seems to puff up more, those blue eyes narrowing as he watches the blonde sit down in the front, not saying a word. Gon frowns to himself. Killua is angry again.

"You looked so happy to see him." Killua leans over, whispering harshly in his ear. He's hissing. "He didn't even spare you a glance. Where was he I wonder? He's been gone for most the class."

"I wonder too." Gon glances over at Killua only to look away quickly when those dark eyes are boring so intensely into his. Killua's face is stone and his lips are set in a tight line.

"So you don't know?" Killua raises his eyebrow, those blue eyes are too blue and too blank, as if all emotion has gotten sucked up into his pupils. "That's suspicious. Don't you think Gon?" Killua's breath is hot in Gon's ear and it's making Gon feel warm. The younger male can't help to squirm, his body feeling strange again. Killua's tone and the way he looks is sending shivers down his spine but Gon isn't really afraid. He's excited and worried at the same time. He doesn't like Killua getting angry at him but at the same time, there's something exciting about his reaction to Kurapika. He wishes Killua and Kurapika could get along. That way Killua wouldn't be angry with Gon being friends with Kurapika and things would be easier.

"I guess..." Gon keeps his gaze on Kurapika when he sees the blonde stand up, and walk to the front of the class. Huh? What did I miss? Gon tunes whatever Killua said out as he focuses on his master and Kite. Why is Kurapika standing in the front? Did he get in trouble for coming in so late?-

"Hey, I'm talking to you." Killua hisses, Gon can hear the anger and irritation growing in his voice. When Killua sees how intently Gon is watching Kurapika, he grips his fist, Gon not seeing how he digs into the palm of his hand with his nails he's gripping so hard. "Look at me." Maybe it was how low Killua's voice got or how it was a command that gets Gon to turn his attention away from Kurapika to lock eyes with Killua. The assassin's expression screams that he's pissed off, his eyebrows furrowed in a glare and those pupils constricted but there's something about Killua's posture that throws him off. "It's rude you know to ignore someone when they're speaking with you."

"I was just wondering why Kurapika is in the front of the room. It distracted me-"

"Is he so distracting Gon? That you would so forwardly ignore your friend." Killua's eyes narrow and Gon feels his stomach twist in that familiar feeling of guilt.

"That's not really it I'm just-" Gon's ears pick up on something and he turns his attention away from Killua, his suspicion being proven.

"Show us how you get the nectar out of his eater plant." Gon had caught Kite saying. Kurapika is walking closer to the plant that just ate a student! Gon's pupils constrict at the threat and he grips the table.

"Kurapika that plant just ate someone!" Gon shouts, not able to help it. The vampire stops walking before he turns his head to look at Gon. His face is blank.

"Don't insult me." Kurapika snarls. "I would never allow myself to be eaten by this thing. I'm not a mediocre student like you are Gon." The young werewolf watches with wide eyes as Kurapika grabs the red leaf and rips it off in a swift movement. Kurapika shoves it's arm into the large mouth that has opened and digs in before ripping out a caramel covered sack. Gon's eyes shine in amazement.

"Wow that was awesome!"Gon smiles.

"Anyone with half a brain could do that." Killua grunts, those blue eyes getting darker when he sees Gon's amber eyes so bright. "Why are you so happy right now? He was rude to you. He called you mediocre for showing some concern for him."

Gon flinches. I wasn't suppose to show concern at all. Just because Killua knows we're friends, doesn't mean everyone else knows. "I'm not suppose to show concern for Kurapika in front of others-"

"Why? What is he trying to hide? Sounds like he's embarrassed of your relationship." Killua's eyes light up in realization only to darken after.

"That's not it..." Gon frowns, wishing he could just talk to Killua about what he's doing with Kurapika but Gon's not sure if he should. He's tired of lying.

"Good job Kurapika." Kite holds out his hand, the vampire giving Kite the sack that he extracted from the now wilting plant. It turns brown and crispy before their eyes, the leaves breaking off. "And that is how you extract the nectar of the eater plant without getting devoured." Kite fixes his hat as the bell rings. "You all are dismissed. Read chapter 60 for tomorrow's class."

"What do you even like about him?" Killua snarls, his hand lashing out and grabbing Gon's arm when he started getting up when he saw Kurapika run out of the room. The other students have all run out of the room too, probably wanting to get out of the room that one of their fellow class mates was just murdered in.

"Like about who?" Gon blinks, looking over at Killua, his face not changing even though the grip on his arm hurts.

"Brother." Alluka gives Killua a look. The assassin's breath hitches and he lets go of Gon quickly, those blue eyes that were so dark seem to go back to normal. Killua stands up quickly, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"Let's go get some lunch. I'm hungry." Killua grabs his sisters hand and starts to walk off with her quickly. Gon is able to keep up but he can't help to tilt his head at the change in the other male. He must still be mad I was ignoring him to make sure Kurapika was okay...I couldn't help it though. It's my job to protect Kurapika from any threat.

"Gon." The young werewolf stops walking after the zoldycks, letting the two walk off without him as he turns his attention over to Kite who is standing behind him with his arms crossed. Gon finds his heart lifting at Kite addressing him.

"yes Kite?" Gon turns on his heel, knowing his tail would be wagging, a smile on his lips.

"You were quite disruptive today with Killua." Kite watches as Gon's shoulders slump and he starts to shift his feet. Both know Gon's ears would have flatten.

"Yeah sorry Kite. Me and Killua had a little fight I think. He found out that me and Kurapika are still friends and he's been sore about it ever since. He really wants me to stop being friends with Kurapika."

"That would explain the tension I felt from him. It seems things are not going your way Gon." Kite's expression is blank. " I just wanted to remind you of your appointment with Wing today. He came a long way and It would look bad on me if you didn't show up."

"Oh don't worry! I'll definitely be there!" Gon's eyes light up and his heart beats faster from his excitement when he remembers the training he's doing today.

"Good. I look forward to seeing what you can do." Kite smiles but it's gone too quick. "I would tell you to take your time and honed your skills but time is not on your side. It's only a matter of time before the spiders find where Kurapika Is hiding and attack. You must be the first to attack Gon."

"I know. I think Kurapika is going to tell me about his plan soon. It's almost been a week with him living with me."

"You should go. Though Killua seemed a bit peeved with you when he walked out of my class room I have a feeling he's waiting for you." Kite glances over towards the doorway before looking at Gon.

"One more day." Gon grins. "And then you'll tell me about Ging!" Gon runs out of the room, leaving Kite staring after him.

"He does realize that he disrupted my class today so that counts against him." Kite can't help to chuckle to himself, sitting behind his desk. "I suppose I didn't punish him so i'll let it slide. One more day it is."

---

"Brother...you haven't been very alluring today." Alluka sighs, looking at Killua who is dragging her down the hallway. She turns her head, noticing Gon isn't around them. This is their time to talk.

"It's hard to be alluring when he's such a dumb ass." Killua blows air out of his nose. "I was clearly coming on to him and it went right over his head!"

"Yes but I think you were being too lewd. We're not trying to get him in bed with you brother, we're trying to get him to fall in love with you."

"I know that but love takes time. Seduction is a lot faster. That's what I was trained to do. This is what this outfit is used for sis. It's clearly for seduction. I've never played with my prey long enough to get them to 'love' me." Killua rolls his eyes, clearly annoyed by all of this. Gon is too innocent. It's like he's a child. How could he have not known what fuck meant? And then he asked Killua to teach him...Killua feels himself warm and he bites his lip. Dumb ass...

"You can add your charm that you use for seduction brother but use more things like hand holding and eye contact! And you shouldn't be mean to him like you were during Kite's class. I know you don't like Kurapika and Gon's relationship but being mean to Gon isn't going to change that."

Killua tenses only to sigh. He knows his sister is right. It's just when he sees Gon looking at Kurapika and he thinks about how the vampire was kissing Gon yesterday...It pisses him off. It makes him crazy. He just wants to get rid of Kurapika himself but he knows that wouldn't end well for him. Gon would probably hate him for killing his 'mate.' That's not what Killua wants. He doesn't want Gon angry with him. So Killua getting smart with Gon isn't going to help the situation either.

He's got to make Gon love him after all.

"Yeah I know. It's just annoying." Killua huffs.

"Let's wait here for Gon. I'm sure Kite probably held him up." Alluka stops, making her brother stop. "When Gon comes I think you should be nicer. Give him some smiles and hold his hand. You should complement Gon on his appearance and be sweet about it. Not lewd."

"Uhh this is too much work." Killua crosses his arms behind his head, leaning against the wall, groaning. It really is. It's annoying doing this. Why did Gon have to go out and get a mate like Kurapika? He's really foolish...Good thing Killua is here. Good thing he's gotten a friend like him to get him out of this mess.

Killua's eyes light up when he comes up with an idea, glancing over at his sister. "Hey sis don't you think I could just wish for Gon to love me? That would be a lot easier than all this and it wouldn't take so long-"
"N-NO way!" Alluka gives her brother a disappointed look. "You can't wish for love! Even if Something could make it happen it wouldn't be right-"

"And it's right to make Gon fall in love naturally just for me to tell him it was all a joke?" Killua raises his eyebrow at his sister, watching as she shifts, those blue eyes getting glossed over. "I think they're both equally effective. Wishing for it will waste less of my time."

"Is it really all a joke brother?"

"Huh?"

"Hmm I have to go to the bathroom." Alluka smiles at Killua, closing her eyes in her smile as she hands Killua the bag of chocolate that Gon had bought Killua. "Here. I'll be back in a few." Alluka walks off into the bathroom across the hall. Killua watches her go, well aware of the weight of the bag that he's holding.

Killua looks down at the bag, feeling his cheeks flush when he thinks of Gon giving him the bag this morning, those amber eyes so bright and his smile so cute. Honestly Killua has been ignoring the chocolate. He's been ignoring it because every time he looks at it and remembers that Gon had gotten him this, he starts feeling weird. Sappy. Killua feels like smiling and his chest feels warm. Gon has been starving not too long ago and one of the first things he does with the little money he has is spend it on Killua.

Killua can't help to question why he hasn't dug into the chocolate yet...but deep down he knows that he doesn't want to rush through the chocolate. He wants to savor this feeling. The feeling of having someone who cares and who remembers when you like something. Gon remembered the chocolate robots were his favorite. He went back to that candy store and it warms him. Gon... Killua can't help to think of that smile and those amber eyes. Can't help to think about how protective and kind Gon was to his sister. How strong he had looked standing up to his brother with no fear. Killua licks his lips. Just what kind of creature are you? How can someone like you even exist...

"Killua you waited for me!" The assassin tenses at the voice, just realizing that he was staring at the chocolate dreamily, thinking about the other male. Killua whips his head up, wishing his face didn't heat up when he sees the smile he was just thinking about.

"I'm waiting for my sister. She had to go to the bathroom." Killua grunts, playing it off. Only to wince. He's suppose to be charming. Why is he so bad at this? He usually isn't. "So...what did Kite want?"

"Hm? Oh he just talked to me about being disruptive again." Gon sticks out his tongue, rubbing the back of his head. Killua glances at the small pink appendage and he can't help to remember how it felt for that little tongue to be rubbing against his own. Killua's lip twitches. Shit. Now he can't get that image of his head. Gon underneath him, panting and clinging to him as Killua explored his moist cavern-

"Oh you haven't eaten your chocolate yet?" Gon blinks when he notices that the bag is still full. "Is something wrong with it? I remember you said it was your favorite."

"N-No nothing's wrong with it. I'm just saving it for later." Damn he stuttered. He knows he's blushing now.

"Okay!" Gon smiles. " call me later and Tell me how you like it later then."

"You know i'm going to like it." Killua can't look at Gon's eyes. They're blinding.

"Yeah but I want to hear you when you eat them! I like talking to you too."Gon beams. Killua feels his heart skip in his chest. Gon sounds just so excited about talking to Killua and to hear him speak that he likes the chocolate. Even though of course he's going to like it. It's chocolate.

"I like talking to you too." Killua's voice is too quiet. He clears his throat, feeling himself start to sweat. What the hell is wrong with him? Killua glances over at Gon only to regret it when he sees that million watt smile and those eyes that sparkle more than any diamond could. Killua feels like someone punched him in the stomach, his breath being taken from him.

Gon giggles and it's so cute, those amber eyes getting half lidded in his smile. And the smile is so bright and beautiful and pure and adorable that Killua finds himself swallowing. It's like Gon's tan skin is glowing, like a light has come down from the heaven and is shinning on him. Angel. A god. Killua's having trouble breathing, all he can do is stare.

"You're beautiful." Killua breathes out when he can breathe. The assassin tenses at his own words, his heart doing a spasm, his stomach clenching up and he feels ill. His face heats up to the point that he knows that someone from across the room could tell he's blushing.

Gon's eyes widen before he smiles. Killua can't take too much more of that smile. It's doing things to him. "That's the first time someone has called me that!" Gon chuckles, those tan cheeks a little pink. "You really think I'm beautiful?" Gon moves closer, those amber eyes sparkling.

Killua wants to run, he feels goosebumps covering his arms and his throat does a spasm as he swallows. Killua has been nervous about things before but the fact that he's so nervous that his body is showing it, is amazing to the assassin. This shouldn't be making him nervous. All he's doing is acting the part. It's Gon's fault for looking like that.

"Yeah...Your eyes are..." Killua swallows, hoping Gon can't tell he's sweating. Everything in Killua's being wants to take back calling Gon beautiful. He doesn't want to talk more but this is what he has to do right? If he wants Gon to fall in love with him? It's all a part of the plan. Calm down. "They're like chocolate pools...being melted down by a bright fire..." Killua can't believe what's coming out of his own mouth. Chocolate pools?! If his father could hear him now...damn none of his family would let him live this down. Killua isn't a poet. What the fuck is he doing right now? He should have just said his eyes are pretty and that should have been the end of it. Now Killua is just being awkward.

"Eh really?" Gon touches his face as if that would let him look at his eyes. "They look like chocolate?" Gon chuckles and Killua feels his heart skip another beat. Gon doesn't look freaked out. He's laughing so nicely. "Does that mean you like my eyes?"

"Yeah." Killua shifts, he feels like taking off his shirt. It's getting too hot in here.

"You probably don't like my eyes as much as I like yours though Killua." Gon beams. "Killua your eyes are like ice floating on the sea, so blue and deep but they sparkle and it's so pretty. Your eyes are amazing. It's funny you called me beautiful because that's what I was thinking how you look Killua. I like how puffy your hair is. Killua is really attractive. Your skin is so fair that when I look at it, I can't help to be reminded of the moon's light-"

"W-What the hell is with you? Shamelessly spewing out a bunch of embarrassing stuff!" Killua covers Gon's mouth, not able to take anymore, he's sure his whole body is red now. What has this become? A competition of who can be the most poetic? Damn Killua's heart is beating way too fast, Gon's words affecting him more than it should have. Killua's chest got tight and he felt his whole body light up at Gon's honest words. Gon thinks he's beautiful and attractive. He likes his eyes...he likes his pale skin.

Killua felt like purring. It took all his will power not to. It made him that happy...

And that fact is terrifying.

"But Killua was saying all these nice things to me that made me feel good and I wanted to tell you how I feel about you too." Gon takes Killua's hand off of his mouth so he can speak. Killua is well aware of how close they are now, Killua's face hovering inches away from Gon's. There's this tension between them that's hard to ignore, especially when Killua sees how Gon's face gets a little flushed and he starts to shift. "I know you said we can't in till I leave Kurapika but...I don't know why, I just really want to do that kissing thing with you right now-"

The assassin snaps. Killua grabs Gon by the shirt and pulls him in, crashing his lips against the other male's. The assassin's eyes slip shut, feeling bliss as he's finally able to taste the other male once again, something he's been wanting to do since he kissed him yesterday. Killua should be pissed at himself for giving into the other male. He should be weird out by his actions.

But all Killua can think about is how warm Gon's mouth is and how good this feels.

Killua purrs when Gon slowly moves his lips with Killua's, his lips parting when Killua licks his lips, letting the assassin explore with his tongue. Gon grabs his arms as if to hold himself up and pulls Killua closer, their chest touching. Every move Gon makes is hesitant, as if he's trying on something new. He seems to be learning fast though. Gon's tongue feels so soft, like velvet and he taste better than any of his chocolate robots.

Gon makes a sound that could be a whimper when Killua pushes him against the wall, the sound spurring the assassin on. How can Gon be so cute? Killua opens his eyes he didn't even know slipped shut, watching Gon's flushed face, and how those eyebrows furrow in concentration. Too cute. Killua wants more.

The werecat's hands move on their own and soon he's feeling down Gon's muscular chest, noticing how Gon's muscles flex by the light touch. "K-Killua?" Gon breaks the kiss, much to Killua's disappointment, the assassin feels a complaint on his tongue from the loss of Gon's delicious mouth only to stop when he sees Gon's flushed face, those amber eyes glossy. "Am I doing it right? It feels good to me but I'm not sure."

That's what he was worrying about? Killua can't help the smile that crosses his lips. "Why are you acting all nervous? I'm sure you've done this plenty of times before haven't you?" Killua's lips tug in a frown when he thinks of Kurapika. The vampire was doing this to Gon just yesterday. It makes his blood boil and it makes him want to touch Gon more. "Drop the innocent act. I know your mouth is dirty." Killua smirks, licking Gon's lip getting the other male to shiver.

"I don't t-think my mouth is dirty. And I haven't done this before. You're the first person who's kissed me like this." Gon flushes, glancing away from Killua, biting his lip.

"Don't lie Gon." Killua finds his hand trail lower before going around and grabbing that plump ass, being too lost in his emotions to even stop himself. Gon's eyes widen at Killua groping him, his lips parting. "Don't forget I saw you getting dirty with the vampire. I know you were making out with him. Did it feel good when he kissed you like this? Or do I make you feel better?" Killua grabs Gon's hair, tilting his head so he can lick where he had bitten yesterday.

"Making out?" Gon moans softly, sending a heat wave of arousal through Killua. "T-That feels good Killua...it's making me feel strange though."

"You were kissing Kurapika..." Killua grabs Gon's chin and kisses Gon, showing his tongue down his throat before pulling away, watching Gon pant with a smirk turning his lips. "Just like this yesterday. Why aren't you owning up to it? I saw you Gon." Killua squeezes Gon's butt cheek, groaning to himself from finally being able to feel his ass. It's so big and soft...Has Kurapika touched Gon's ass? That thought makes Killua's expression get dark.

"I-I didn't kiss Kurapika like this. Kurapika's kiss was just his lips touching mine...when you kiss me you use your tongue and it's so deep and there's a pressure and I feel really warm and hot. Nothing like Kurapika's kiss." Gon's breathing comes out in uneven puffs as Killua keeps squeezing his ass.

Killua stops for a moment, his eyes widening in surprise at Gon's words before he leans in and licks the spot where Kurapika had left a mark.

"A peck? Really? That's all you've done with your so called mate?" Killua grunts but his chest is lighting up as he sinks his teeth lightly into Gon's neck, being more gentle with Gon now that the other male is giving into him, clinging to him and pulling him closer. Gon gasps at the slight pain only to sigh.

"Kurapika isn't my mate." Gon's eyes flutter shut from Killua nibbling on his neck. Gon's words get Killua to stop completely. He pulls away, getting Gon to whine, those amber eyes getting clouded over and his cheeks so pink. Damn. Killua feels his arousal twitch in his pants. It's like the other male is begging to be taken looking like that.

But Gon's words were enough to pull him out of his frenzy. For now. It's Gon's fault anyway, for saying he wanted to kiss him.

"What are you talking about? Of course he's your mate. Don't you lie to me." Killua snarls.

"I'm not. Why would you think Kurapika is my mate?" Gon tilts his head.

"Because I saw you yesterday you idiot! You were kissing and I have trouble believing it was just a peck! You were all flushed like how you are now and you were weak in the knees." Killua growls, knowing his pupils are getting longer at the idea of Gon lying to him. He doesn't like it. He doesn't like his feelings being jerked around. Between hope and despair.

"It was just lips brushing lips...I think Kurapika was confused and that's why he did it. We're not mates...it was just a big misunderstanding." Gon chuckles like its' funny.

"What are you talking about? Of course your mates! When I asked you to leave Kurapika you said no! Why would you say that unless you're mates!" Killua gets pissed off when Gon looks confused. What is he so confused about?

"ohhhh!" Gon's mouth forms into an o, his eyes widening as he points a finger at Killua. "You got it all wrong Killua! I thought you were angry with me because I wouldn't leave Kurapika as a friend. I thought you wanted me to end our friendship."

"Huh? Are you messing with me Gon?" Killua is taken a back by Gon's words, his eyebrows furrowing. "I saw you-"

"I don't know what you saw Killua but we're not mates. Kurapika is just a good friend of mine. I felt bad because I've been keeping it from you." Gon fiddles with his fingers. "But it's a part of our plan..."

"Your plan?" Killua feels dizzy. What the hell? Gon isn't Kurapika's mate? They weren't making out? Then what happened? Why was Gon all flushed? What was the misunderstanding? Kurapika and Gon are just friends? Gon was thinking Killua was telling him to stop being friends with Kurapika?

"Yeah. We wanted everyone to think we were enemies so the spiders wouldn't' come after me..." Gon fiddles with his fingers, glancing around nervously before leaning closer. "He didn't think we should tell you because he wanted it to be believable. I'm sorry i've been lying to you. I didn't like it and it made me feel bad."

"...Wait a minute, so...that fight you two had when I thought he killed you?"

"Wasn't real." Gon smiles sheepishly.

"You know he almost killed you right? I just...I don't get it." Killua blinks, not able to process all this. "Then what was going on yesterday? Because something was certainty going on and you weren't just talking."

Gon shifts nervously, Killua catching it, his eyes narrowing. "Don't lie to me Gon or i'll be pissed off." Gon tenses, those amber eyes finally locking with Killua's. The raven haired male seems to accept his fate.

"Well...Kurapika was really hungry and I offered for him to feed off of me so-"

"He was feeding off of you?!" Killua's eyes widen in horror as he goes back to what happened yesterday...thinking about Kurapika pinning Gon to the wall, the boy's face flushed and weak...not because of Kurapika's kiss because he had just gotten done feeding off of him. Kurapika drank so much of his blood that Gon could barely walk. Killua was so set on what he thought he saw that he didn't catch the details. What the hell is wrong with him? Gon could have been killed by that man. And all Killua could think about was the idea of Gon being with Kurapika.

Killua feels a deep anger fill him only for Gon to hug Killua, getting him to tense, his eyes widening in confusion.

"Don't be angry with Kurapika. I wanted him to feed off of me. It was okay-"

"You could have died." Killua feels himself stiffen at that thought. He has an image of Gon's glassy, dead eyes staring back at him and it makes him feel ill. He could have lost him. Even though Gon is hugging him he feels cold. "Why would you do something so reckless?!" Killua pulls Gon away, baring his teeth, hissing at the other male, his heart beating faster. "So what if he was hungry? Why do you care about that guy so much? He's not even your mate! Just a friend! I can't believe this. Risking your life for him."

"I trust Kurapika. I knew he wasn't going to kill me Killua. I care about him because he's my friend." Gon stands his ground despite how darkly Killua is glaring at him. "I couldn't let him starve. He hasn't been eating too much and a lot has been going on with him-"

"I couldn't give two shits about Kurapika. Don't ever do that again Gon." Killua takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "...So you two are just friends...and you've been hiding that from me and the rest of the school to protect yourself from the spiders...I guess that makes sense." Killua feels like yelling at Gon some more for making him worry like this. But why is Kurapika worth all this trouble? This risk?

"You're not going to tell anyone are you? You can tell Alluka but please don't tell anyone else. Everyone needs to think we're enemies for it to work. It can't reach the spiders that we aren't." Gon looks at Killua pleadingly.

"...Don't look at me like that. I'm not telling anyone. It would be a pain in the ass if the spiders started trying to attack you. Just keep acting like you're enemies with Kurapika and don't meet up with him in places were you can be seen." Killua puts his hands on his hips, giving Gon a stern look. "I'll let you slide this time with your lying but if you lie to me again like this..." Killua's heart clenches at the conviction. "I won't forgive you."

Gon's eyes widen, his face getting pale. Killua's eyes narrow. He doesn't want to go through this again. He thought Gon was mating with Kurapika and it was a horrible feeling. He doesn't like the idea that Gon has been lying to him either. Killua wants to know all he can about the other male. "So don't lie to me." Killua grips Gon's chin, speaking so close to his lips that they almost touch. Killua can feel Gon's breathing on his face and it makes him want to kiss Gon once again-

There's no reason to do this anymore. Killua's eyes widen, his stomach twisting at the thought. There's no reason to act like this right?...Gon isn't with Kurapika. They're just friends. So he doesn't have to make Gon love him. He can stop this. He can tell his sister the good news and he can forget that he ever kissed Gon-

Killua's heart does a spasm when Gon leans in, brushing his lips softly against Killua's, those amber eyes never looking away from wide blue. "I'm sorry Killua. I don't like lying to you." Killua feels his heart beat faster, his cheeks getting covered in a soft blush.

Gon doesn't have a mate. Gon isn't Kurapika's mate. It's time to stop this. It's time to laugh in Gon's face and tell him how he's been messing with him. Killua opens his mouth only to close it. His stomach is filled with butterflies. He can't do it.

"Don't kiss me." Killua pushes Gon away, his sharp eyes looking away from Gon's confused expression.

"You don't like it?" Gon's disappointed voice gets Killua to tense. He glances over at Gon, seeing that frown on those lips.

"Just don't." Killua bites his lip. He can't believe the words that leave his mouth next. "Do it when we're alone. I'll start it if I want it."

Gon tilts his head. "Why do we have to do it when we're alone?"

"Because it's a private thing." Killua looks back at Gon, his eyes narrow. "Don't kiss anyone else Gon."

"Is kissing something special?" Gon nods his head, seeming to soak in everything Killua says. "I like it but i'm not really sure what It means. It's a way to show affection right?"

Killua stares at Gon with wide eyes. This guy...he doesn't know what a kiss means? Killua feels a lie on the tip of his tongue. "It's something only best friends do. If you do it with someone else, i'll be angry." Killua's lips tingle from his lie and his possessive nature. He just told Gon not to lie to him but here Killua goes, lying about this. He's taking advantage of Gon. "Don't tell Alluka either. This is our little secret."

Gon nods, those amber eyes so bright with wonder. "Wow Kissing is really serious." Gon's eyes brighten. "We're best friends?! I knew it!" Gon starts to wiggle his hips, jumping in the air. "I knew we would become best friends! Even when you said we wouldn't ever be friends at all-"

"Don't talk about what I said." Killua flushes, flicking Gon in the forehead. "You were so persistent. It would have been a hassle trying to keep fighting against you." Killua grumbles but he grins when Gon pitches his arm.

"Admit it! You wanted to be friends with me Killua! You knew we would get along even in the beginning!" Gon cheers.

"I'm not admitting anything." Killua grunts, loving how light and playful the air has become between them. "Except that you're a whinny brat."

"So mean." Gon pouts before he grins. "But this whinny brat is your best friend! You said so yourself!" Gon giggles when Killua puts him into a head lock.

"I could take it back you know?" Killua can't help to chuckle, not able to be serious with Gon right now. "I could give the tittle of my best friend to someone else-" Who would he give it to?

"No! It's mine! You gave it to me and as they say finders keepers!" Gon grins, wiggling his way out of Killua's hold after struggling against him. "You said I'm your best friend and I plan on getting even closer! I don't want to stop getting closer. So your best friend slot has been filled up."

Killua flushes from Gon's bluntness only to stop when he hears his sister's foot steps. He turns his head, spotting Alluka walking over towards them with this smile on her face.

"Sorry I took so long. My stomach was a little upset I guess." Alluka rubs her stomach getting Gon to look at her in concern.

"You okay Alluka?"

"Yeah i'm fine. You guys ready for lunch?" Alluka looks between them, raising her eyebrow, a knowing smile on her lips. "Did I miss something?"

"Nothing. Just Gon being stupid."

"Just Killua being mean." Gon puffs his cheeks at Killua.

"Sounds like normal to me." Alluka giggles when Gon and Killua both give her a look.

"She gets her smart ass from me." Killua chuckles after awhile, the three of them walking to the lunch.

"How can an ass be smart?"

"Gon no."

"Smart ass means someone who is rude or sarcastic." Alluka tries to explain.

"Its like we have to teach you everything."

"Well I don't know the language here that good!" Gon glares.

"You don't know anything that good."

"Killua." Gon whines.

The three friends talk happily with one another, smiles seem to just come to their lips, it's really a sight to see.

There is one person who has been watching since Gon came out of Kite's room. Hiding in the shadows, enjoying the show. Once Gon and the others are gone, Hisoka comes out, those yellow eyes clouded with dark amusement.

"Gon...I really can't wait to have some fun with you."

Hope you enjoyed! Till next time.
