Fall: Hello, everyone! Have two new KilluGons today!

Gon: Is this one sweet too? I really liked Womono.

Killua: Gon, you're the only sweet thing here. *hugs*

Gon: Eh-heh! Thanks, Killua.

Fall: Well, in contrast to "W/o Mo-No", this fanfic is something much more bitter...

Killua: Oh, that sounds like something I'd wanna read.

Fall: Then let's get to it. Please enjoy the first chapter of Shallow Addiction~

"Hey, let me tell you something. That scholarship kid from Class 3 sucks dick."

"For real? But yeah, he kinda looks like the type. You think he likes dick in his ass too?"

"Probably, but I didn't see that."

"Whoa, wait, you saw him?! I just thought you heard it from someone!"

"Shhh, be quieter…"

"…"

"…"

"…So you saw him?"

"Yeah. I forgot something in the club room and, on the way back, I saw him blowing one of the members of the swim team over at the pool."

"I dunno anyone on the swim team, but if you say so. Are they secretly dating or something? This school isn't fag-phobic. Weird to try hiding it, if you ask me."

"Nah, it's not like that. That swim team guy even has a girlfriend from the Co-Ed on the hill, I'm pretty sure."

"Then what's going on between them?"

"Ha ha, I knew you wouldn't know. You don't pay attention to anything but video games and me, after all. So let me tell you now."

"Rude, but I'm listening."

"It's a pretty open secret that the scholarship kid gives blowjobs for money."

"Oh?"

"As long as you pay him what he asks for, he'll stick your dick in his mouth and suck you dry - or so I've heard."

"Do you think he's good at it?"

"Well, if a guy with a girlfriend is going to him to get his nuts off, maybe. Now that I've seen it, I'm kinda wondering about it."

"Dude, you gay?"

"No, but we're at a rich brat prep school. Throw the poor kid a little lunch money and have some fun for ten minutes. It's a win-win situation for both parties, don't you think?"

"I guess. No girl would want to date a nosy person like you anyway."

"Now you're being rude."

"Whatever. I wonder what he needs the money for so desperately that he'd whore himself out… Do you think it's video games?"

"Ha ha, he's not you, idiot! Video games! Of course you'd think it's that!"

"Hey! Don't laugh at me! Video games are expensive, especially if you don't have money. Whenever my grades make my dad angry, I have to use my allowance to buy my games. It really takes a chunk out of my spending money."

"Heh, I'm sure. But, that's not the reason."

"So you know it."

"Yeah, I know it."

"Then tell me."

"Sure, sure. Let me finish laughing first. Ha, video games."

"Screw you!"

"Shhh, we gotta go back to being a little quieter. Don't wanna be heard and then have him get found out and expelled."

"Why not? Because you wanna get your lonely cock sucked before that happens?"

"No. Because I heard he's doing it for his family or something gallant like that."

"What? How so?"

"Back when that kid transferred in a month late, he told everyone that the reason was because his grandma was suddenly hospitalized. For a family who had to get him here by scholarship, hospital fees must be pretty high, right?"

"My family runs a hospital chain, so I guess so."

"Someone found out his grandma has some type of heart condition, so she needs some type of special medication that's expensive. My guess is that if she doesn't get it, she'll end up back in the hospital. So, of the two evils, buying the drug is probably cheaper."

"Is it just him and his grandma?"

"He's got a mom. Dad is out of the picture though."

"Sounds rough. Must be why they're poor. Why even come to this expensive school if you can't afford it?"

"Because his dad went here back in the day, or something. So the scholarship was probably through the alumni program."

"Full scholarship?"

"Nah. His grades are pretty bad, so he couldn't get it. That would also explain why his mom's money isn't all going to grandma's medicine."

"Makes sense. Jeez, man, you really know a lot about this kid. You must really want him to blow you."

"You shoulda seen him. Down on his knees, sucking like a vacuum. Didn't even have his hand on it and there was no condom."

"Whoa, how close were you to see it so clearly?"

"Heh, that's a secret. And there's the bell. Break time is over~"

"Aw. Keep your creepy secrets, I guess. See ya in fifty minutes for lunch." With that, the video-game lover slid off his best friend's desk and returned to his own seat a few rows over. He checked his mobile games for another minute before taking out what was needed for fourth-period math.

The nosy boy took out his own textbook and notebook, along with a wooden pencil and black eraser. Upon realizing he needed his calculator as well, he leaned down to search for it in the shadowy back area of his desk shelf. He dug around for a while until he felt his fingertips brush across the rubber buttons trapped between crumpled papers. Trying to pull it out made his desk jostle and the pencil rolled to the left. Before he could catch it with his free hand, it clattered to the ground. The writing utensil traveled across the dusty floor until it tapped against the shoe of the neighboring student.

"Ah, sorry Killua. Do you mind grabbing that for me?"

The white-haired boy next to the window shut the novel he had silently been staring at through the break. Reaching down, he retrieved the fallen pencil and handed it back to its owner.

"Thanks, man."

"No, thank you," came a mysterious reply.

"Uuuh, for what?"

"For reminding me that we have math next. Not only do we need a calculator, but we need a ruler as well."

"Oh really? Huh, you're right." The nosy boy looked around and observed that other classmates were indeed preparing both calculators and rulers. Still, it was a little odd to have been thanked when he was the one seemingly more thankful.

Though he was good-looking and smart for a boy their age, Killua Zaoldyeck was also known for being a bit weird. Maybe it was due to growing up with an elite bloodline and, even though he was the middle child, rumored to become the next head of his family. Well, the stresses of other kids weren't really his concern. As the nosy boy took out his ruler, being careful to wedge his pencil between his eraser and calculator, Professor Satotz entered the room. The lesson would begin soon.

Even if it was important, Killua couldn't quite pay attention. The conversation he had listened in on during the break had revealed some real revelations. So, the black-haired boy with the bright brown eyes from the class next door really was like that. The offer he had alluded to really had been that. It hadn't been a joke to tease an obvious lovesick virgin like himself.

Staring out the window to his left, Killua could see a sparkling blue shimmer of the school pool over in the east corner of the campus. Yesterday, the scholarship kid had been there servicing a swim club member out in the open. Down on his knees, sucking like a vacuum. Didn't even have his hand on it and there was no condom. Blushing a bit as he remembered those words, Killua tried not to imagine it. This was no time to be aroused. He wasn't in his dorm room right now, jerking off to his desperate little fantasies.

"Zaoldyeck. Zaoldyeck! We are starting from the end of the alphabet today. Please come up to the board and find the answer for the y-axis, if you would."

"Uh, y-yes, Professor," Killua stammered, hurriedly standing up. As he did so, a tent in his pants banged against the edge of his desk. "Can I… bring up my notebook?" he asked in a slightly pained voice.

"Of course. It is important for you boys to always utilize all the tools at your disposal when looking to find an answer."

"Does that mean I can just search for y on my phone?" the class clown blurted out, causing the room to burst into laughter. As the Professor tried to get everyone back in order, Killua quickly walked his way to the front of the room with his notebook hiding his shameful erection. Luckily, no one had their attention on him as the troublemaker went back and forth with Satotz about asking other students for the answer or paying a servant back home to solve it for him. After completing the equation, Killua quickly returned to his seat.

"Oh, well, it looks like Zaoldyeck finished. Let's take a look, shall we?"

Of course it was correct. Even though Killua hadn't been listening to the lesson, they had studied these formulas for the past week. Today added one new element, but it was nothing that he couldn't figure out. However, that scholarship kid was not so simple to understand. With that secretive smile and that playful giggle, that boy was a puzzle box yet to be solved. However, with so much new information, Killua could carefully craft his next meeting. And, after a month since his prior rejection, he would soon try again with a more appealing proposal.
