Third POV
Hitoshi and Hisoka were sitting opposite of one another in their room. Hitoshi had his arm in a sling and was wearing shorts and a tank top to let his hundreds of cuts breathe. The doctors gave him some cream and advice so the cuts should all heal without leaving scars.
Hisoka had bandages wrapped around his two bullet wounds and was sitting shirtless. He was really only using his injury as an excuse to show off his muscle to his kitten, the injury really didn't bother him that much, he'd had worse. He also had casts around his broken fingers.
"So," Hitoshi started, "is the bet off?"
"No, of course not kitten, we'll split it. I get six hours and you get six hours." Hisoka replied.
"Who's going first?"
"How about a game of blackjack to decide?" Hisoka suggested.
"No, you cheat. Rock paper scissors." Hitoshi stated.
"Hm, fine."
"Rock, paper, scissors, shoot." the two guys said at the same time. Hisoka played paper and Hitoshi played rock.
"Seems I'll be going first kitten~." Hisoka sang.
"Fine but no sex. I won't ask it of you, so please don't ask it of me. Anything else goes I guess."
Hisoka pouted, "It wouldn't be very fun if you don't agree anyway. I'll get you eventually, I can be patient when I want to be."
Hitoshi just nodded along, "Sleep today and start tomorrow?"
Hisoka smiled, "Does my little kitten need a little break?" he cooed.
Hitoshi groaned, "Shut up." He got up out of the chair and went to the bathroom to get ready for sleep.
Hisoka's eyes drifted down and watched Hitoshi walk over to the bathroom. "I can feel you staring, pervert."
Hisoka chuckled quietly.
"Grrr."
Hisoka moved his gaze to the black and purple cat on the ground.
*insert angry cat noises*
"My, my, I have no idea what you're saying."
*insert more angry cat noises*
Hisoka opted for the safe option and looked out the window, keeping the eyes in the back of his head trained on the cat.
Hitoshi came out of the bathroom a few minutes later and carefully got into his bed. "Stupid papercuts." he muttered under his breath. His entire body was stinging. He put his head down on the pillow and closed his eyes, sleep never came fast enough. Worst case scenario he'd have to go through tomorrow on 2 hours of sleep and 20 cups of coffee.
Hitoshi was sitting down in one of the armchairs with his 3rd cup of coffee in his hands. It was seven in the morning.
"I have a fight with Kastro today." Hisoka said the moment he left the bathroom. He was wearing his typical magician attire again.
"When?" Hitoshi asked.
"In six hours."
"So when your time ends and mine starts?" Hitoshi clarified.
"Yes, it's really quite unfortunate~."
"Then you owe me six favours. I can cash them in whenever, and you can't say no." Hitoshi stated.
Hisoka grinned, "Consider yourself owed."
Hitoshi took another sip of his now lukewarm coffee. "So then what are you looking to do for your six hours?"
"To start I want you to wear your collar." The collar appeared in Hisoka's hand out of nowhere. He walked up to Hitoshi and put it around his neck. "You look so much better like this kitten~."
"Can I kill him?" Nyx asked from his spot on the bed.
Hitoshi sighed, "No you may not."
"He'll die, it doesn't have to be now, but he will. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I have no interest in sharing you. You're mine, and he's getting too close."
Hitoshi ignored the nightmare cat and asked Hisoka, "What's next?"
"I wish to ask you a few questions, I want you to answer honestly." He answered more serious than he had been in a long time.
Hitoshi knew this was coming eventually. "Don't you want to do this when Illumi's around?"
"He'll be here soon, I gave him a call."
"Ah, ETA?"
"10 minutes, he said he was going to scale the wall, he should be entering through the window~"
"Scale the wall…?" Hitoshi was bemused, "He knows we're two hundred floors up right?"
"He knows~"
"Uh-huh, I somehow doubt that, but alright."
True to Hisoka's words, ten minutes later Illumi popped in through the window. "Hullo." He greeted, he waved his hand robotically.
"Hi." Hitoshi said surprised, the guy really did climb the tower.
Illumi got comfortable on the bed not occupied by the cat. "You befriended the cat?" Illumi asked.
"Yeah, his name is Nyx."
"Hitoshi talks to him." Hisoka chimed in.
"Brother, are you alright? Do you need me to take you home so you can relax and stop deluding yourself? Mike would be better company than this thing."
"No, I'm perfectly alright thank you. And Mike is not better company than Nyx, he might be annoying and murderous, but at least he's a cat."
"Stop comparing me to that infernal creature, while I may agree that cats are 100000000000% better than dogs, the other things you said were simply offensive."
Hitoshi rolled his eyes.
The only things Illumi understood were meows and growls. "My you're right Hisoka, is he running a fever?"
Hisoka shrugged amused.
"Anyhow, I have little time before I need to leave again. What is it you wanted to discuss?" Illumi asked.
"A little interrogation if you will, we know little about our kitten's history."
Illumi nodded in agreement.
"Where are you from?" Hisoka started.
"My Mothers uterus." Hitoshi answered.
Hisoka grinned, "Won't make this easy will you?"
Hitoshi shrugged, "You asked where I'm from, I gave you an answer."
"Then let me be more specific. Home country?"
"Japan."
"I don't understand." Illumi said, "A country like that doesn't exist."
"It can be found on the planet Earth, and in the continent of Asia." Hitoshi continued.
"You're not originally from here." Illumi stated.
"No, I technically died."
"By fire?" Hisoka guessed thinking back to when they first met.
"Yeah, I don't know how or why I'm here, but I will admit I've never enjoyed my life more. Everything from back in my world is black and white. Everything is good and evil, light and dark. Here everything just is. It's relieving."
"Interesting, I'd like to see it sometime." Illumi said.
"It's not a place for you or Hisoka. It's a world of heroes and villains. 80% of the population has some kind of power, people like you two would be labeled as villains, stopped and then arrested."
"They must be strong then~" Hisoka made another of his weird faces. Illumi and Hitoshi both cringed at the increase in emotion.
"Yeah, there are some powerhouses."
"Are you one of these 'powerhouses'?" Illumi inquired.
"I was officially ranked 4rth 2 years ago. But I was weaker than the top three by quite a bit. My quirk was still viewed as villainous by lots of people, the only reason I really got that position was because no.1 vouched for me. I don't know where I'd stand now though, this world completely disregards my world's laws of nature. I shouldn't even be able to be as strong as I am now."
"Fascinating."
Soon enough two hours had passed.
"I'll always be here if you need me, kid." Nyx whispered from the bed.
"Thank you Nyx." Hitoshi smiled.
"I'm calling the family doctor." Illumi stated.
Ignoring Illumi's overprotective / confused self, Hitoshi stared at Hisoka a question on the tip of his tongue.
"You have another four hours Hiso, what now?" Hitoshi asked his question.
"I want 4 favours."
Hitoshi groaned silently, of course he did.
"I can't think of anything else I wish to do at this point." Hisoka continued.
"Fair I suppose." Hitoshi mumbled.
"I'll have to leave you now." Illumi said, getting up. He moved to the window and jumped out. 'Crazy assassin.' Hitoshi thought.
"Shower?" Hisoka asked out of the blue.
"What? Like together?"
"Yeah."
"Didn't you already shower this morning?" Hitoshi questioned.
"Yes, but alone."
"You stay away from my baby clown face!" Nyx started growling from the bed.
Hisoka slowly turned to face the cat, "I'm going to get something to eat." Hisoka stood up and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Nyx made a sound of approval, "That's right leave, don't ever attempt to shower with my baby again clown."
Hitoshi blinked, "Did he really just leave?"
"Yes. Don't question it."
"Do I even want to go see his match with Kastro later?" Hitoshi asked.
"No you don't, you need to go see that white haired kid that's been not-so-subtly sneaking around."
"You mean Kil?"
"I mean the short one with blue eyes, can't be older than 10."
"Has he really been sneaking around?"
"Yes, you must be really out of it if you have not noticed."
"I'm injured, besides he wouldn't try anything dumb right?" Hitoshi reasoned.
"No, the kid just seemed confused. Do you want me to lick it better?"
"...What?"
"Your wounds, I can lick them better." Nyx clarified.
"No, are you crazy? It hurts when you lick me, you'll make it worse."
"What if I said my spit has healing properties?"
"No, you just want to lick my blood, stop trying to convince me otherwise."
Nyx settled back into the sheets on the bed and sighed, "True." he muttered quietly, before closing his eyes. Sensing the conversation was over Hitoshi continued to drink his now cold coffee and repositioned himself in his armchair.
Maybe he would go see his little brother.
