"Love- love is strange-" Music echoed against the hard walls of the gym. Hisoka sang along as he watched Illumi attack dummies with his needles. Without missing a beat, Illumi flawlessly aims and executes shots at his targets. Mechanical dummies move behind him at inhuman speeds.
"Lot of people~ take it for a game."
Illumi doesn't have to look to know what's behind him. He ducks as an axe is thrown his direction. He doesn't miss the opportunity of his motion to attack. His arm extends and his fingers release three needles. Each one lands on a target on the dummy in perfect order – one lined up under the other.
"Once you get it, you'll never wanna quit."
A trap door opens underneath Illumi's feet. He's already in the air mid-flip before he can fall, right in the trajectory of two shuriken.
"After you've had- it, you're in an awful fix."
Illumi bends his body ever so gracefully, avoiding a clash and zooming past the blades. He lands next to a dummy with a mace, swinging it above it's head. Easy work for an assassin like Illumi. A couple quick jabs and it's done.
"Many people- Don't understand. They think Love- is money in the hand."
Another Arrow hits the wall where Illumi was standing. Any normal person wouldn't have been able to see Illumi dodge it, he moved like a quick shadow of himself; too fast to follow.
"You're sweet lovin'- is better than a kiss."
Illumi appeared again behind the dummy shooting arrows. Another target down, but there was more coming. Three more whirred behind him, coming in for an attack. Again Illumi's figure disappeared.
"When you leave me- sweet kisses I'll miss."
Almost impossible to see, even for Hisoka, Illumi speedily takes care of his targets. One down. Two down. The last one is fast. Illumi dodges a hatchet.
"Oh, Silvia!" Hisoka calls out, still going along with the song.
"Yes, Mickey?" Illumi calls back, also playfully singing the words. Hisoka is surprised for a moment that Illumi even knows the words, but not long enough to distract him from continuing his karaoke-type word for word rendition.
"How do you call your loverboy?"
Illumi lands the final strike on the third target, and it whirrs for a moment before stopping, but the music continues. Illumi looks at Hisoka. "Come 'ere, lover boy!" He curls a commanding finger at Hisoka.
Hisoka can't help but grin. "And if he doesn't answer?"
"Ohh, loverboy!" Illumi smiles, just a little.
"And if he STILL doesn't answer?" Hisoka raises an eyebrow.
"I simply say, Baby- Ohh, baby, my sweet baby, you're the one." Hisoka's heart flutters at hearing Illumi's voice moan in tune with the song. Mechanical whirring starts up again, but this time Illumi is looking right at Hisoka. Illumi's dark eyes call out to Hisoka, beckoning him to join in. Hisoka moves forward as he sings the next lyric with Illumi.
"Baby, Ohh baby, my sweet baby, you're the one."
Hisoka and Illumi stand at the center of the training floor. The sensors beep as the music plays on, recognizing a second person has entered onto the floor.
Ten dummies approach them, each with a different weapon, all faster than the ones before them. Hisoka and Illumi stand in front of each other, staring as the dummies approach. The guitar in the music picks up, and Illumi smiles.
As the dummies are upon them, both of them are already on the attack. They take them out easily, making quick work of them. Needles and deadly sharp cards flying through the air, hitting targets left and right. Within seconds the dummies are all down and another fifteen replace them. Illumi and Hisoka jump and spin and dodge and attack. Sharp blades miss them as they dance across the floor, not a single hit landing on them. Trap doors open, keeping them both light on their feet, and like graceful dancers they fly through the air.
Another twenty, another dance. Their backs to each other as the automatons surround them. They come for the duo in the center, each with a new weapon and varying movement ability. Hisoka and Illumi don't miss a beat. Dummy heads roll. Hisoka decides it's fun, although he'd love it more if they would bleed and scream. Nothing beats the satisfaction of killing a person, especially not these dummies.
Finally, the last dummy falls and Hisoka and Illumi meet in the middle of the dummy heap, gasping for breath. The adrenaline is almost too much for Hisoka, his bloodlust piqued but not sated. llumi tugs on Hisokas pants, making it worse.
The music fades out.
"C'mon." Illumi begs.
"Right here?"
Hisoka pulls Illumi in close and bites his neck. Illumi's sweat and gasps throw Hisoka's senses into a heightened state. The music dies down as it comes to an end. Mechanical whirring starts up again.
"No, let's move out of the combat training floor otherwise the dummies will just keep coming."Illumi manages to be heard even with Hisoka biting into the side of his neck.
"Got it." Hisoka gets up and starts walking to the edge of the gym where the free weights are kept. Illumi follows. The sensors beep and the whirring stops.
As soon as they're off the floor, Illumi jumps Hisoka, pushing him back onto a wall and kissing him hard. Hisoka stops the music player, allowing the sounds of their desperate gasps and their ravenous kissing fill the room and bounce off the walls. Hisoka likes that Illumi is taking charge, and he goes along. He presses his hips up against Illumi's, and finds delightfully that Illumi is just as hard as he is. He wonders if Illumi has the same desire to kill, and if mornings spent here training left him frustrated. Hisoka smiles.
"What?" Illumi asks between lip smacks.
"Nothing."
Hisoka notes that Illumi has finally learned to grind back with just as much enthusiasm as he's met with. Illumi scratches his nails down Hisoka's chest as he reaches for the bottom of his new butler's shirt. Hisoka realizes he's wearing his uniform and breaks away from Illumi's kiss to take his outer jacket off. He watches Illumi's eyes stare hungrily back at him. His face is flush, probably because of all the movement he just did on the gym's dummy training floor, but he looks downright sinful with his half-lidded eyes and teeth gently biting down on his lower lip. Hisoka makes quick work of his button-down as Illumi undoes his belt. Hisoka silently cursed this absurd uniform for having so many obstacles to get through. Once Hisoka is free, Illumi bites Hisoka's collar hard. Hisoka winces, but loves the sensation. Illumi moves further down, biting and scratching until he's on his knees, holding Hisoka's dick up to his face with one hand, and his other between his own legs.
"Hungry, are we?" Hisoka chuckled for a moment, but as Illumi took him into his mouth, Hisoka stood there, back to the wall, looking down at Illumi with awe. Illumi was already getting better at this, and Hisoka smiled, reminding himself silently to take credit for this progress. His thoughts quickly left him when Illumi slowly ran his tongue flat against the bottom of Hisoka's shaft. Hisoka stared down into deep black eyes looking back up at him. Illumi took Hisoka back into his mouth and sucked, hollowing his cheeks like a pro.
"Fucking hell." Hisoka groaned.
Illumi bobbed his head back and forth, his neck moving with the motions. The obscene sucking noises: the pops and slurps made Hisoka feel even more lightheaded. He couldn't help but groan as Illumi worked, and he reached his hand to fist the back of Illumi's hair. It was so much- the sensation of already being out breath combined with absurd amount of his blood currently in his dick, he felt he could die right now and be happy to do so. His head nodded back and he sighed, it was all so much.
Hisoka thought he was getting close, but suddenly the sensation of Illumi's warm, wet mouth was replaced by the cold still air. He looked down to see Illumi looking behind his shoulder with wide eyes.
"What is it?"
"Someone's at the door."Illumi spoke in a whisper.
"What?"
Before Hisoka could say anything else, Illumi had thrown him behind a stack of weights. Hisoka landed on his back, and thankfully not on his dick, but he groaned as the air left his lungs for a moment. Hisoka grunted and Illumi quickly shushed him before he stood up just as the door's knob turned and the door opened with a clang.
"Kalluto! You're back?" Illumi panted.
"Well of course, brother dearest. I heard you're getting married tonight. I couldn't miss it for the world."
"Of course. So, Mom called you?"
"I imagine it was her who asked, but Milluki called to tell me."
"I see. Well, glad you're home safe. The phantom troupe is treating you well?"
"Small talk has never been your strong suit. Tell me, why are you still here? Normally you'd be out of the gym by now. It's my turn to train."
"I didn't know you were back."
Hisoka held his breath and hid his aura, hoping Kalluto hadn't already picked up on it. He laid there watching Illumi closely. Silence stilled the air further, until Kalluto finally spoke.
"Did you get beat by the dummies? My, brother you must be slipping. Maybe you do need a little extra time with the dummies."
"What? No, not at all."
"Then why is your lip swollen?"
Illumi instinctively touched his lip, and he winced at the feel of it. He glanced just for a second at Hisoka, but when he looked back at Kalluto he could tell his brother had followed his eyes.
"Is there someone behind there?"
"What? No. Pfft."
"Are- are you? Don't tell me you're already sleeping with her!"
"I- uh… What?"
"God, Illumi I never pinned you for such a pervert. Is she there behind the weights?" Kalluto leaned forward as if trying to peer over the stack of thick black weights.
Illumi stuttered and held out his hands, getting Kalluto to stop where he was. "Yes! Yes. Sorry please don't look she's… indecent" Illumi glanced over at Hisoka who struggled to pull up his pants without being seen.
Kalluto nodded. "So I'm guessing she's just as nasty as you are. Not a proper lady at all. She's perfect for you."
Hisoka grasped his mouth shut, holding in his laughter. Illumi held a mostly straight face.
"Don't.. insult her?" Illumi sounded unsure of his words at first. He cleared his throat and repeated himself. "Don't insult her, this is entirely on me."
"Fine. I'll meet you properly when you're not… canoodling with my brother. Prytania, was it?" Kalluto raised his voice, addressing who he thought was Illumi's fiancee.
Now Illumi's straight face faltered as he looked worriedly at Hisoka.
Hisoka looked side to side trying to think of what to do.
"Was I mistaken?" Kalluto called out.
"No!" Hisoka mustered up a high-pitched voice. "Prytania is right."
Illumi sighed a breath of relief. Hisoka's 'girl voice' seemed convincing enough.
"Well, Mother sure knows how to pick them." Kalluto's face proclaimed judgment on Prytania's character. He paused before addressing Illumi again. "Don't hog the gym. And don't stain anything!"
"Got it. Thank you, Kalluto. Glad you're home... I guess." Illumi squinted.
"…yeah this is weird okay I'm leaving. Make sure you get a butler to sanitize this place afterwards." Kalluto turned about-face and left the room.
Hisoka threw his head back and held his face in his hands as he laughed boisterously. "Fuckin- what?" Hisoka managed to spit out the words before continuing his laugh.
"That was close." Illumi ran his fingers through his hair, brushing away hair that he only now noticed had been sticking to his face with sweat.
"That was funny. Holy shit." Hisoka wiped his forehead. "Phew!"
"Not to me! What if he found out?"
"He didn't. I'm just- oh my god that was crazy."
"Shut up. Put on your shirt"
"Wait what?"
"We can't stay here."
"Aw, but c'mon!"
Illumi smirked. "That good, huh?"
Hisoka grinned at Illumi and raised an eyebrow. "I'd give it a B+"
"You didn't sound or look like you'd give it a B+." Illumi accused smugly.
"Well I mean that's a pretty high score for an interrupted blow job." Hisoka chuckled.
Illumi stepped over to Hisoka, who still lay on the floor of the gym, elbows propping him up. Illumi leaned over him.
"Put your shirt on so we can go back to my room and finish."
Hisoka smiled and ran his tongue on his teeth just thinking about it. "Whatever you say, 'Master Illumi'."

….
Kalluto walked down the hall, scoffing to himself. The nerve of his brother, really. How starved for affection was Illumi to take his soon-to-be bride right there in the gym when he was supposed to be doing his morning training? Kalluto couldn't help but judge this so-called Prytania all over again. What kind of mail-order-bride behaves so unprofessionally? Besides, wasn't it bad luck to see the bride before the wedding or something? And hadn't Illumi just met her yesterday? Kalluto's thoughts swirled, but he stopped when he sensed something familiar – an aura. It was gone as soon as he sensed it. He swore he had sensed it earlier, too. It was so vaguely familiar and so foreign. He turned around and headed down the hallway, trying to find it. There was no use, every trace of it was gone. Kalluto sighed and thought to himself maybe he was going crazy. Before he could head back the way he came, he saw a blonde woman walking down the hall in a flowy dress.
"You there, servant!"Kalluto yelled.
The woman continued to walk.
"Excuse me, I'm addressing you!" Kalluto called out again, louder this time. The lady turned around, appearing confused. Kalluto walked up to her with a scowl on his face.
"Why aren't you in uniform? Didn't Gotoh or Tsubone give you a set to wear for your first day?" Kalluto was shorter than the woman, but he still commanded a greater presence. Prytania looked down at him, and after a moment of studying his Japanese-style clothing, realized who he was.
"Oh, you must be Kalluto." The woman reached her hand out in greeting. Kalluto looked at her warily. "I'm Prytania. I'm sorry I haven't been introduced to you properly. I'm sure this is not how you imagined meeting me at all."
"Uh, yeah that was quite the meeting."
"Well as you may already know I'm already acquainted with the rest of the family, but I haven't met you yet so this is a pleasure! I didn't expect to run into you like this in the hall."
Kalluto tilted his head and blinked at her. He realized she still had her hand extended, and he grasped her hand to shake it, but gave her side-eye while doing so.
"Yes, well I know just how well you are acquainted with my brother."
"Pardon?"
"Uh, you're going to be my sister-in-law by tonight, so.."
"So..?"
"Nothing. You and Illumi seem well matched for having just met yesterday."
"Thank you?" Prytania's brows furrowed even further. Kalluto avoided eye contact.
"Well, see you around." Kalluto let go of her hand before leaving her there, bewildered in the hall.

…
Hisoka groaned and held on to Illumi. Both his legs were thrown over illumi's shoulders and his back pressed against the wall in Illumi's bedroom. Illumi plowed into Hisoka, and Hisoka gasped each time he hit the right spot, driving him mad. He wanted nothing more to tell him how good it felt, how much he loved getting wrecked, but each breath was saved for gasping, attempting to breathe and he had no room for speech.
"What's the matter? You're not being chatty today." Illumi teased. All Hisoka could do in response was whine. Illumi smiled.
"Good. I like you better this way." Illumi sped up his pace, and Hisoka moaned and whined all the more.
"Fuuuuuuck~" Hisoka managed to sigh the word as Illumi screwed him there, pinned to the wall. Hisoka knew Illumi was strong, but actually feeling the force of him over and over again while he held his weight seemed like something Hisoka had dreamed up in his wildest fantasies. He loved it. He loved every bit of it. The aggression and lewdness of it all. Illumi without restraint was decidedly Hisoka's new favorite.
The expression on Illumi's face was priceless, and Hisoka stared right into it, savoring the image. So determined, so concentrated. Hisoka was right there, right at the edge, but he could tell Illumi was closer.
Illumi's face became a picture of ecstasy as he grew closer to finish. His movements became erratic and less methodical. Hisoka could only hold on.
Illumi pressed his hands against the wall on either side of Hisoka, bracing himself for the wave of pleasure, holding Hisoka against the wall with the rest of his body as he tried desperately to be as deep inside him as physically possible.
Illumi's furrowed brows and closed eyes looked like art in Hisoka's eyes. He came hard and Hisoka moaned again as he felt the heated pressure build up inside him.
Illumi gasped for a moment, catching his breath. He placed his hands under Hisoka and carried him to his bed, laying him down to pull out and away from him. He smiled when he saw Hisoka dripping with his cum.
"Damn." Illumi sighed and laid down next to Hisoka, who took to finishing himself off.
"Illumi," Hisoka said softly. Illumi faced Hisoka. "Watch me."
Hisoka stroked and fingered himself, all the while maintaining eye contact with Illumi. He cursed under his breath as he came. Illumi smiled as he watched.
They both laid on the bed, now staring at the ceiling.
"Still say B+?"
"Nah. You're definitely a grade A fuck."
Illumi couldn't help but laugh. "Good. I tried not to hold back too much."
"I could tell, holy fuck."
"Sorry, did I hurt you?"
"No, you're fine I can take it. In fact, don't ever hold back with me. That was perfect."
"Perfect?"
"Yeah. You're perfect."
They stared at each other for a moment, Illumi's pale skin turning a soft pink. Everything about him was beautiful.
"Fuck I can't wait till you're mine." Hisoka whispered.
"I'm already yours."
"I know, but I mean when you're really mine. All mine. When we don't have to sneak around anymore."
"Aw, come on I know you had fun sneaking around today, you sick freak."
"Yeah I'm not gonna lie the thrill was exciting, but I want you all to myself. I want you to really not hold back."
"If I did that, we'd have destroyed property on our hands."
The two of them laughed for a moment, thinking about all the harm they could do together. Hisoka's smile was the first to fade.
"Tonight, you're gonna be with her."
Illumi exhaled. "You know it won't mean anything. I'll be thinking about you the entire time."
"For some reason that sentence isn't at all comforting."
"Now you know how I feel. Besides, you fucked her first."
"Not fair to bring up right now."
"Maybe you shouldn't have slept with her then."
"I know that now, but being bitter about it isn't helping the mood."
Illumi crossed his arms.
"Hisoka?"
"What?"
"I have no idea what to do with a woman."
Hisoka breathed deep.
"Just ask her what to do."
"I don't want to do that. I just want to get it over with."
"Okay, well… if she's anything like Nadiya, and trust me she is, she's been trained to deal with men like you."
"Men like me?"
"Virgins."
Illumi scoffed. "Thanks to you I'm hardly a virgin."
"What I mean, is you've never been with a woman."
"Yeah I know I was just making a joke."
Hisoka sighed.
"You can take something to make you… make you hard again."
"I'm not drinking any of that Spanish shit."
"Hah. No I'm serious. There's pills you can take that will make you hard for some time without causing death. No matter if you like it or not, you'll be able to get it done and you skip the trip to the emergency room."
"What if I don't like it?"
"It doesn't matter, does it? You're stuck in this. You have to get her pregnant if you want us to have any chance of getting out of here."
Illumi sighed, "That's kind of disgusting."
"Well, that's where we are."
Illumi looked over to his clock on the wall next to the door.
"It's already past noon. I need to shower."
"Can I join you?"
"Please do."
"What, do I stink?"
"Probably. I'm all sweaty too, but I just want a round two."
Hisoka raised an eyebrow.
"Someone's eager today."
"Maybe I'm just nervous. Fuck me, will you?"
"Gladly."

…..

Elsewhere, Kalluto walked into the Japanese-style family room. The sliding door felt like home to him, and the sight of his parents having tea together was welcoming.
"Good afternoon." Kalluto greeted his parents. Kikyo smiled and set down her teacup.
"Kalluto, my boy! So glad you're home!"
"Welcome home, son." Silva nodded and sipped his tea.
Kalluto sat at the table between them and served himself some tea.
Kikyo watched in confusion before saying, "You can let one of the butlers serve you next time. We pay them to do this, you know."
"Right." Kalluto took a sip of his tea and sat quietly. He hadn't realized how accustomed to taking care of himself he became just from being outside the castle walls for a few days.
"So, how was it?" Silva asked.
"Well, Chrollo has returned to the troupe, and the chains seem to be gone but for whatever reason his Nen is not back yet."
"Hmph. To think there's a child out there capable of stripping someone of their Nen like that." Kikyo shivered.
"It's not that surprising, considering it was a member of the Kurta clan who pulled it off."
"A Kurta?!" Kikyo exclaimed.
Silva placed his cup down. "I thought they were wiped out."
"Apparently not, this one is a specialist too." Kalluto grabbed a cookie from a plate at the center of the small table.
"Goodness." Kikyo's lazer eye focused back on her tea, taking note of it's emptiness. "You there, butler! Get me more tea." The young butler left the room to fetch another pot.
"So I met Prytania." Kalluto muttered before blowing on his tea to cool it.
"Did you, now?" Silva responded without looking up from a book he had laying on the table.
"She was… well Illumi and her… I probably shouldn't say."
"Say what, dear?" Kikyo asked softly.
"I walked into the gym and they were…. Together."
"Together?" Kikyo emphasized her question. Silva looked up from his book and took sudden interest in the conversation.
"Yeah, together together."
Kikyo and Silva shared a glance and smiled.
"You see?" Kikyo beamed. " He's already warmed up to her.
"Thank god." Silva laughed before picking his tea up off the table again.
"Ew." Kalluto scoffed.
"Ew?" Kikyo laughed. "One day you won't be saying 'ew' to that kind of activity."
Kalluto shuttered.
Silva smiled. "Just glad they're getting along." He sipped his tea.
"Yeah, sure they're getting along just fine." Kalluto fake gagged. He watched his parents smile. He put his tea down, deciding it was still too hot. "I just think it's funny how she's only been here for a day and she seems to have him wrapped around her fingers."
Silva looked at Kalluto and frowned. "At least now he won't be the laughingstock of the Zoldyck family."
"But doesn't this concern you at all?!" Kalluto raised his voice.
"You will mind your manners and keep your voice down!" Kikyo snarled at her son.
"Calm down." Silva spoke calmly. Kikyo huffed and looked down at her tea. Silva turned to Kalluto.
"You will leave us to worry about your brother."
"But-"
"I will not repeat myself."
Silva placed his tea down again and lifted his book with his other hand.
Kalluto stood up and left.
"Kalluto-" Kikyo called after her son who was halfway out the room.
"Leave him be." Silva commanded. Kikyo sighed and let him walk out.

…..
Prytania squealed as a shipment of her things arrived. Her high-pitched noise made the butler next to her flinch. She noticed and immediately apologized.
"I'm so sorry! I just got excited." The young girl in the butler's clothes frowned.
"What's your name?"
"A-Amane."
"Amane. Sorry for being so annoying."
"No, not at all ma'am! You just startled me is all."
"Ah, well forgive me for startling you."
"Miss Prytania?"
"Yes, Amane?"
"What is someone like you doing here?"
"Excuse me?"
"I- I'm sorry! I didn't mean you any disrespect ma'am, I just meant- I, um."
"Calm down, speak slowly."
Amane took a deep breath. "You're very kind. Not everyone here is so kind."
"Kind? You think I'm kind?"
"Well, yes."
"But I haven't done anything particularly nice." Prytania smiled at the girl.
"You asked my name."
"Pardon?"
"You asked for my name. Nobody here does that often. The Master of the House, Silva, sometimes asks. He can be very kind. Killua can too, but he's not here. He left to find new friends."
"That's absurd. The madam knows your names just as much as Silva does."
"Only when he makes her learn them. The only one she really knows or dares to care for is Gotoh and Tsubone because they're in charge of the rest of us. She usually just snaps at us to get our attention or says 'you there' or 'servant' or something like that. We're all just nameless servants to her."
Prytania looked at the girl. "Well, I'm sorry that they're like that. It must be how she was raised. You can't blame her for that."
Amane's eyes looked to the ground, hiding her face. "I hope you don't think that I hate her, but she's not a good person."
"Don't say that!" Prytania watched the little girl look down at the ground. "She can't be all that bad."
"You know, they kill us sometimes. I don't believe she's got any good in her."
The words registered in Prytania's head.
"What do you mean, they kill you sometimes?"
"Amane!" A deep, elderly voice called the young butler's name. Prytania and Amane looked in the direction of the voice.
"My apologies, Miss Prytania. I hope my granddaughter hasn't been much trouble to you." Prytania watched Tsubone place her hands around the child's shoulders and grip them tight.
"No, not at all. She was just telling me-"
"Children's stories, I'm sure." Tsubone was quick to cut her sentence off.
"Well I-"
"I'll have another butler come to help you with your belongings. Amane needs her rest."
"But she-"
"Please excuse us." Before Prytania could protest, Tsubone was leaving with the Amane and another butler was grabbing her luggage.
"Wait!" Prytania called after them. They hurried away. Dread crept up on her as she wondered what Amane was going to tell her.

…...

It was lunchtime, and the Zoldyck family all sat at the table to eat. Prytania sat and ate her food daintily next to Illumi. It was a delicious ensemble of food. Light, but filling. If only the atmosphere was as nice as the food. Milluki stuffed his face to the right of her, and Kalluto ate his food while scrutinizing her every move. At the head of the table, Silva ate quietly. Kikyo sat in front of Illumi and kept smiling. Prytania was used to seeing her own father smile at nothing, but she would be lying if she said Kikyo's constant grin didn't put her at unease.
"The food is delightful. Your servants really have outdone themselves." Prytania tried to lighten the mood. Nobody really responded to her. "Milluki likes it, don't you?" She looked at the pudgy man-child scarf down a huge spoonful of rice. She was sure rice wasn't even on the menu.
"Milluki likes everything. That's why he's so fat." Kalluto snarked.
"Kalluto!" Kikyo's smile broke as she focused her laser eye on Kalluto. "Apologize!"
"No. It's true that he's fat. I'm not apologizing," Kalluto said without looking at his mother.
"Well at least I don't look like a little girl!" Milluki spoke with his mouth full of food, but Kalluto understood enough to take offense to it.
"This is a traditional-"
"You look like a girl! You look like a girl!"Milluki taunted.
Kikyo gasped, "Kalluto can dress however he likes!"
"If you keep treating him like this, he's gonna end up gay, like Illumi!" Milluki yelled at his mother, and Kikyo's jaw dropped and her hand clutched her collar in shock at the blatant disrespect her son had displayed.
"First of all," Kalluto stood up as he started what looked to be the beginning of a rant.
"Please leave me out of this." Illumi pleaded with his brother, who subsequently ignored him.
"Illumi's not gay." Kalluto asserted.
"Yes he is!" Milluki stood up from his seat.
"Nuh-uh! If he's gay how come I caught him and Prytania screwing in the gym!"
"That's quite enough!" Silva's voice boomed throughout the room. Milluki and Kalluto sat down.
Prytania looked at Illumi, who stared straight at his plate on the table and nowhere else.
Silva motioned for the staff to leave the room. Prytania watched out of the corner of her eye as Hisoka left with them.
"Prytania," Silva addressed Illumi's bride-to-be, and she looked at him carefully, not sure what to make of this situation. "Forgive my children, they seem to have forgotten how to act when at the table." Milluki and Kalluto mimicked Illumi and looked only at their food. "I will, however, ask that you keep any... adult activities confined to you and Illumi's respective rooms. I will not have my sons walking in on something like that again. Although I'm certainly glad Illumi likes you, please be mindful, there are children roaming the castle."
Prytania could not believe they were having this talk. She had never once gone within three feet of Ilumi, let alone touch him. She had questions, so many questions, but she looked to Illumi, who now looked up from his plate and pleaded with her through his expresion. Oh, he owed her big time.
Prytania looked back up to Silva, who waited for a response. "I apologize, I guess we got a little carried away."
Illumi breathed relief. Prytania died a little inside.
Milluki leaned close to Kalluto and whispered "So, it's true? Illumi's not gay?"
"Milluki! Apologize to your brother." Kikyo commanded.
"Sorry for saying you look like a girl, even though it's true." MIlluki begrudgingly spoke. Kalluto scoffed, as he often did, and said with just as much poison, "I'm sorry I said you're fat, even though it's true."
Kikyo smacked the table at the boys, and they took to focusing on their food. Kikyo smiled again, and directed her attention to Prytania and Illumi.
"I'm glad your belongings came in this afternoon. We can have you both moved into a bigger room in about a few days. For the meanwhile, you may stay in Illumi's room. I guess it was too presumptuous of us to suggest you two stay in separate rooms."
Prytania's inner monologue at this point was nothing but internal screaming. She had trained for every kind of situation, or so she thought. She was trained to behave politley and in a ladylike manner. That's what was expected of her. Never had she had to receive such disgrace as a PDA breach in etiquette. All she could do was smile like her father had taught her. Smile with dead eyes and a toothy grin and hope lunch would be over soon.
"Yes, I suppose. Thank you."

Chapter 14, Fin

Note: I had to cut this chapter in half because it was getting kinda long lolol...

So yeah have some bottom Hisoka.

Also if you don't know what that song from the beginning of the chapter is, it's "Love is Strange" which plays during one of my favorite scenes from the movie "Dirty Dancing." I almost wanted to incorporate the legendary lift from that movie but I decided to skip it because I actually want to get on with the story. I figured having Illumi somehow know the words to the song was enough lol.

Oh yeah and Kalluto is back! What a twerp.

Let me know what you think in the reviews!

I'll be updating again soon-ish.

Fluffy out!
