Author's notes: I don't own any of the characters here. They all belong to Togashi-sensei . This is more on Shounen Ai, so if you don't wanna read things like this try reading something else. The pairing is Killua X Kurapika.



It was raining hard. Gon and Leorio were still outside.

"Oh no. The deer's dead." Gon was standing next to the deer, gently rubbing the animal's head.

"Poor little deer."

"Whaa!!!" Leorio suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong Leorio-san?" Gon walked towards him.

"The tire's flat!! And I forgot to bring some spare."

"What?!! What are we going to do then? It's already getting dark.", Gon looked worried.

" I'll look for a place to stay in for tonight. You go tell the two about it."

"O.K.. umm…Leorio-san? Do you know where to go?"

"Huh? Oh yeah…I forgot. I think you'll need to come with me then."

"Bu-but… I need to bury the deer and-"

"Gon, the deer can wait, O.K.? Now go tell Killua and Kurapika while I fix something."

"O-o.k..."

"I'll wait here."

Gon went inside the car. Kurapika was still sleeping, while Killua gently touched his hair.

"Hey Killua! Killua?"

"Ye-yes Gon?" Killua swiftly hid his hand away from Kurapika's hair..

"What WERE you doing?"

"Huh? Me? No-nothing."

"But I saw you -"

"Nothing! I wasn't doing anything, o.k.? What is it anyway ?" Killua answered with tension.

"Well, the tire's flat. We'll going to look for a place to stay in for tonight."

"Oh. O.K."

"uh…Killua?"

"What is it now?"

"You're kinda blushing." Gon said with a smile.

"Blushing? Why would I blush?" Killua turned to the window, avoiding Gon.

" Maybe because you did something – "

" Hey Gon! Look! Leorio's walking away!! I think you need to go now! Catch you later! Don't worry about us." Killua pointed.

" Huh? O.K."

Gon went out. He ran towards Leorio.

"What took you so long?"

"No-nothing. Let's go now!"

Gon started running.

"Gon! Wait up!"

Back to the car…..

"Darn! That was close. " He said while wiping his sweat away. He was probably blushing because of the pressure he felt inside. After all, Gon almost caught him red-handed.

He looked at Kurapika for a while. He was still asleep, his eyes closed tight.

"Kurapika" he moved his hand again, then carefully brushed his hair.

Silence filled the car. He could just hear Kurapika's faint breathing. Somehow, it reminded him of his lips – the lips that slowly moved while performing the process of respiration. Thoughts began spinning inside his head.

"What's happening to me? I'm crazy…Really crazy"

He gently pulled his hand away from Kurapika's hair then started slapping his face.

"C'mon Killua!! Wake up! Wake up! Don't let insanity eat ya!", he continued slapping.

He didn't notice that the strange noise caused Kurapika to wake up….

"Ki- Killua?" he moved his head away from Killua's lap. He sat up and looked at him.

"Are you o.k.?" He stared at him with his aquamarine eyes wide open.

"Huh? You're awake… I'm fine. Sorry if I disturbed you in your sleep."

"No. I should be the one who's sorry. I'm sorry if I caused you burden.", he said with sincerity.

"No – no. You didn't do anything wrong. It's o.k. ."

"You were really nice to me. I hope I could repay your kindness."

Word suddenly escaped Killua's mouth. He wasn't able to stop them…

"Kiss me" He slipped.

"What?!"

"I- I mean "kick me". Yeah…Kick me" Killua forced a laugh.

Kurapika chuckled.

"That's funny. Now, why would I kick you?" he smiled.

"I'm just feeling stupid. Stupid and crazy."

"That's o.k." Kurapika gently pat him on the back.

"Huh?"

"It's o.k. to feel that way sometimes." He said, smiling.

"By the way, where's Gon and Leorio?"

" We have one flat tire. They went out to look for a place to stay for tonight."

"Oh. I'll be staying with you then…."

" Umm… Kurapika?"

"Yes?"

"Have you fallen for somebody? I mean… is there someone who's quite close to your heart?"

"Me? Well, yeah…YOU, Gon, Leorio and Senritsu"

Killua froze…"He mentioned me FIRST!!!", he thought. He's heart began beating faster and faster, overwhelmed with joy.

"Killua? Are you sure you're okay?"

"Huh? Ye- yes. I was just thinking of something else."

"Something else? Like what?"

"No-nothing special. Go on. "

"Okay, know what? I really like you guys. You've been helping me out ever since we met. You're really nice, especially you, Killua."

"M – me?"

'Yes. I just hope you won't change."

"I won't. Promise. " Killua looked straight at him.
