Months later - Floor 74
I'm on my way back from some levelling as I hear a weird noise. I Look around spotting a rare animal the Majestic Gazelle "You got to be shitting me..." I pull out my crossbow Siren's Call firing off an attack hitting it.
It jumps away as I fire off my next attack killing it "Got you!"
I quickly head over to Zephile's store on floor fifty.
Time Skip
Zephile freaks "There's no way... this is Majestic Gazelle Meat... It's an S-Class Rare Item! Holy Shit! This is the first time I've ever seen one..." I frown "You're telling me..." Zephile smiles evilly "Hey Cazark... I'll buy it at a high price..."
I turn to Zephile smirking "How high are we talking?" I get a slap on my shoulder "Cazark..." I turn smiling "Killua..." I blink a couple of times remembering "The man of my dreams..." Zephile and the person behind Killua gawk as Killua glares at me "Can you rephrase your sentence..."
I let go of Killua's hand freaking while out turning red "Sorry!" I pull up the menu "You see... I know you're a chef..." Killua lifts an eyebrow "And...?" I smile "What level is it?" Killua smirks "I couldn't get it any higher. It's completely maxed out!"
I smile widely "Well I have this..." I initiate a trade with Killua showing the rare item I just found. Killua looks at the time "Hmm..." He freaks out "How the hell did you get this?" I smirk "Luck! I'll trade you, you cook it and get a portion of it..."
Killua grits his teeth as he clenches my jacket "Not falling for this Half... OR Nothing!" I smile "I can deal with that? By the way..." Killua lifts an eyebrow "Hmm?" I point out "Aren't you a little too close?"
Killua freaks out turning red. He coughs so he can get his composure back before speaking up again "Yeah sorry... but... intimidation only works if you death stare in the person's eyes..." I nod "I can see that..."
I freak out in my mind "But any closer and my heart would have busted out of my chest..." I turn to Zephile "It looks like the deals off..." I walk out as Killua follows me "So your place or mine..." I freeze turning red as Killua interjects quickly "As in to cook it..."
I scratch my chin smiling "Well... the thing is..." Killua sighs "So mine I guess..." I turn a brighter shade of red as Killua continues "Since it's a rare ingredient... I'm willing to allow you to use my place..."
Killua turns to his follower "Thank you for accompanying me... You may go..." The escort sighs "I'm sorry sir... But I can't allow you to go home with this... Creature..." Killua sighs "As much as I would like to admit his a rare creature..."
I frown as Killua continues "He is a skilled fighter but still not as skilled as me... However... He is 10 levels higher than you... Richemaya..." Richemaya frowns "Are you telling me this kid is... Stronger than me... Wait he's a Beater... isn't he?"
Killua frowns as I turn to her "What about it...?" Richemaya objects "You shouldn't associate yourself with him! All him and his kind care about are just themselves! You can't expect anything good to come from scum like them!"
Killua glares at her "So what! I'm a higher rank than you so... I'm telling you to take your leave now... And go home..." Killua walks away as he grabs me by the back of the coat slinging me over his shoulder like a bag of flour "Are you ok with leaving it like this?"
Killua grits his teeth "I'm just peachy! Thanks for asking..." I frown "You know I can walk on my two feet..." Killua throws me on the floor "In that case follow me..." I dust myself off as I chase after Killua "They don't know do they...?"
Killua sighs "Of course not!"
Floor 61 - Afternoon
I walk in silences as Killua murmurs "Sorry..." I nod "It's fine... I'm used to it..." Killua grits his teeth "But why do you still lie about it?" I murmur "No real reason..." Killua continues to walk in silence as I speak up "Nice floor here it's peaceful and quiet..."
Killua murmurs "Why don't you move here then..." I groan "I'm not too sure... This place looks like it would send me to the cleaners... Anyways... What's got that girls panties in a bunch..."
Killua groans "She's just my... body guard... A new policy came through in the guild... Anyone with a high rank now requires an escort... It's annoying the Guild didn't have all these rules before... It used to be a small guild... Then more and more people joined up... We became the strongest Guild and everything started getting weird..."
Killua turns around smiling "But you don't want to hear about my problems... We better hurry before nightfall..." I nod "Okay..." I keep silent thinking "Stop being a pussy and tell him you don't mind listening to his problems..."
I sigh "You can tell me anything I'm willing to listen..." Killua nods "Noted..."
We walk in Killua's homes as I whistle "Whoa... You're loaded... This must have cost a fortune..." Killua nods "The furniture and room costed around 4 Million Col..." Killua taps my shoulder "Make yourself at home..."
I sit down in one of the chairs "Jeez 4 mill this guy is loaded in both real life and virtual life..." Killua walks in wearing shorts and tank top "Aren't you a little over dressed?" I nod "Yeah..." I take off my coat putting it on the coat rack.
Killua heads towards his kitchen as he press the Majestic Gazelle meat "Wow... So this is a rare S class ingredient... So what were you thinking?" I tap my cheek thinking "Well... I'm thinking of you but I don't think it's a good idea to say that out loud..."
I speak up "I'll leave it to you after all you're the Master Chef!" Killua nods "Alright... So... I'm thinking... Since it's Majestic Gazelle meat... how about a Majestic Gazelle noodle soup with a side dish of rice and salad...?"
I smile "Your choice..." Killua nods pulling up a menu as he picks some ingredients. He picks out a kitchen knife as he taps the meat first as it cuts into small blocks. I frown as Killua repeats the steps with each of the ingredients. "If I knew it was that easy I would have picked up cooking a long time ago..."
Killua chuckles "In real life it's actually harder than it looks here..." Killua combines the meat and ingredients into a large pot as he shoves it in the oven starting the timer for it to cook. Killua makes his way over to another section of the kitchen "Now onto the side dishes..."
Killua starts to work on the side dishes as I smile checking him out. I think "Damn... His great at what he does..."
The oven makes a noise as he pulls it out smirking. He lifts the lids as I get a whole aroma of smells "Damn... Your pretty good..." Killua smiles with a slight blush "Thanks..."
Time Skip
I sigh patting my gut as Killua groans "This is the first time I've eaten an S-class type food in two years since we started here... I lived just for this day..." I nod "I should come here more often... You're food is to die for..."
Killua blushes for a brief moment before coughing "After a while living here I gotta say I've too used to it... Don't you ever feel like that..."
I nod sighing "Unfortunately... Yes... I can barely remember the real world some days... It's not just me... More and more people don't seem to care about clearing the game at all... Or about the real world for that matter..."
Killua nods "I noticed there's not many people fighting on the front lines... Maybe five hundred at most... I guess they've become used to it... and stopped caring..."
Killua sighs "I sometimes think about it because of what's waiting for me at home... But at the same time... I want to go back there's so many things that I haven't done yet..." I smile "Like...?" Killua frowns "You know... Land a job... Find the right person..."
I blink as Killua interjects "Girl..." I nod sighing on the inside as I speak up "Still people are depending on us to clear this game and if we give up it's not really fair for them..." Killua grins "If I didn't know any better that's the look a girl gives right before proposing to me..."
I freak out turning red. I retort "Eh... Not a girl! Besides... Solo is the way to go! Girls just tie you down..." Killua smirks "Oh...? But I though you would have be the type that's into bondage... You look like the type that loves to get tied up..."
I smirk "Well my weapon of choice usually involves whip like weapons..." Killua nods smiling "You're right about that..."
Killua looks seriously at me "But are you sure you really want to continue soloing... Ever since floor 70... Everything has changes drastically the monsters attack motions have changed completely it's always random..."
I nod as Killua continues "I know for a fact there are things a solo player can't handle... Unexpected things... Sometimes even warping out is a no go..." I nod "Well I watch my back while levelling... And party members tend to... waste my time."
Killua grabs the knife of the table pointing at me "Really now?" I raise a hand to protest "Though you fit into the category of not minding to fight beside..." Killua grins "I thought so..." I sigh in relief as Killua speaks up "How about you and me tag team?"
I look up in disbelief at him as he spins the knife "You know we could level way~ quicker together then if I was to get the best member in the guild and join up with them..." I groan "Wait a sec... wouldn't you be betraying your guild by joining up with me?"
Killua shakes his head smirking "It's not like we're required to reach a certain level any time soon..." I object "What about that chick, what's her face?!"
Killua looks me a look "She'll drag me down anyway..." I frown as the menu box saying Killua is inviting me to a party pops up. I sigh hiding a smile as I click yes. Killua smirks "You can stay for the night so we can leave early..."
I freeze on the spot as Killua continues "Though you will have to sleep on the couch if you're fine with that..." I nod "I'm ok if you're ok with it..." I secretly smile on the inside of how much I'm really enjoying this day.
Night
I'm laying down on the couch with the blanket Killua gave me as I smile thinking "Cool... I'm sleeping in Killua's house and he's just in the next room sleeping..." I look around his room smiling "He certainly knows how to decorate... Unlike me..."
I yawn as I start to fall asleep "Can't wait to level up with Killua... I enjoy his company..."
Middle of the night
I'm sleeping as something or someone slumps on top of me. My eyes shoot open as I see Killua on top of me under the blanket. I blink a couple of times thinking "This is a dream... It can't be real..."
Killua grumbles "Don't say a word and go to sleep... I forgot how much I really like this couch... And neither can I be bothered telling you to move because that means I have to move too... So don't even bother asking..."
I nod as Killua falls asleep almost instantly. In his sleep he clenches me tightly as I wrap my arms around him.
He lets go as I place a small kiss on his forehead. I smile moving down a bit as I kiss him on the lips for a brief moment I thought he kissed me back. I look at him confused as he snores away not showing any signs of blushing making me sigh "I love you Killua..."
I stoke his hair as he responds unexpectedly "I love you..." I smile as Killua interjects "Alluka..." I frown as I lay down to sleep. Before falling asleep Killua whispers "I love you too... Cazark..." I smile while holding him in my arms as I fall into a deep sleep.
