Daniel feels guilt creeping in the back of his mind, the thought of Victor's aura consuming him taking a toll on him. Iason goes to a hot spring with Gon and Sakura, enjoying a little bit of time to relax. Alongside Gon, they learn a little secret from Sakura…
Paperwork moved, Killua groaning as he sorted through the onslaught of information being provided for him. It's been three days, and there were still no clues as to where Scarlet is hiding. Most of it was too old to story through, while the other, just showed how much data one man could collect on a single person.
The shit his family could pull off, if they knew half the information Vastorie could provide. He was living proof that Milluki couldn't even hold a candlestick up to that man.
Unsurprisingly, in this instance, none of really mattered; also, details on Scarlet's history is foggy at best. The trail stops at age twelve, everything before that, ceased to exist. Now from what he could gather, her past may be related to not only what Nathaniel alluded too, the man mentioned, but to a guiding light that would further help Daniel understand his father's past.
But the information Killua needed, was not here. Sure, he knows what she looked like… when she was nineteen, but the data on her current whereabouts stops cold after twenty-two. The moment she left the United States of Saherta, and landed here in Azia, specifically, Aswaqiya, there was no new news about her…
This has to be some cruel joke of some kind, a trail which involved saving his boyfriend, yet the newest information on her was two years old. He flipped through her past, sorting out the data obtained between Scarlet's likes and dislikes, trying to obtain consistencies.
So far, she has two common traits. She tends to visit homeless shelters and orphanages. He doesn't know much about the homelessness in this area, but there are at least three orphanages within a 50 Kilometre radius. There are ten if he stretches it to hundred Kilometres.
He could make the distances between all ten within a day, but that won't guarantee him a chance of bumping into her at one of those locations.
But, he wouldn't rule them out either…
She doesn't follow a particular pattern, but if he lies about his family status, posing as a lost child… one without family to go back to, he may be able to get into an orphanage, and then wait it out until she shows up… if she shows up…
But the problem is he also knows she is scared of something. One whiff of his aura and they might never find her. She might have even left the area if she bumped into one of them in past few days.
Killua felt two arms wrap around him, the boy's cheeks warming at the sound of a heartbeat. He would often listen to that sound out of habit, always at night, when Daniel was asleep, and his head resting on the boy's chest. Thanks to being so familiar to the boy, he couldn't resist the sincere touch, "Killua…"
"Yes, Daniel…?" Killua placed another page down into the sorted pile, the boy rubbing the bridge of his nose out of tiredness. He was tired of all the hoops he had to jump through. He wished he could point at a map and say, Scarlet, is here… unfortunately thanks to his circumstance… he couldn't.
"Alluka and I are worried about you…"
"About what exactly…?" Killua picked up another page, making a mental note of the words on the piece of paper.
"It's been three days since you started. While I take your sister out to have fun… you are stuck trying to decipher the codex, to the long-lost Scarlet Sutton. You need to take a break…"
Killua glanced at his boyfriend, noticing a tired smile, one full of love, and uneasiness. Maybe he should take a day's break. He has been going at it day and night, trying to find her. The news of Daniel having to take Alluka out during the day, made him feel uneasy…
Scarlet, may have spotted him…
Daniel seemed to take notice of his boyfriend's concern, lips being placed against Killua's forehead, "You'll find her… I know you can. You just need to rest your mind, regather your thoughts, and then continue… Or at least let me help you where I can. I do have my father's bookworm genes."
"Thanks… I'll be fine. I should get to work on dinner anyway."
"And that is why…" Daniel stopped Killua, "we got you, takeaway. Come join us in the dining room. Less stress makes my baby happy!"
"I'm not your baby…" Killua blushed, although he was thankful for the kind gesture. Maybe he was a little tired from working his mind too much, to find that woman who eluded them. It has been four days… four days of sorting through a crapload of useless information.
Killua ran his fingers along Daniel's hands, relishing in the warmth of the situation. He found himself smiling, wondering if this would be a common practice from now on, Killua dragging his mind through craploads of data, as Daniel tries to lessen his burden.
The boy took his hand away before standing up, Daniel moving out of the way so his partner could push his seat out, "Alright, let's go."
"I'll come join you in a bit. I just need to go to the toilet…"
Killua turned, noticing a slight strain in Daniel's voice. His eyebrow raised in concern, reaching out to touch the boy's cheek.
He yearned for the attention closing his eyes as he touched Killua's hand, smiling at the attention he had just received, "I'm ok… I promise…"
He did not look ok in Killua's eyes, yet he felt like if he were to force it out of Daniel, he wouldn't budge. It like the boy refuses to tell him something, because he doesn't want him to worry him…
Killua's eyes narrowed slightly, Daniel forced to repeat himself, tone softer… calmer than last time, "I promise I'm ok…"
"You're not… Promise me you'll tell me after dinner. No matter if you don't want to over burden me…"
Daniel closed his eyes, unable to contain his smile any longer. Killua read him like one of those files, picking up on a detail he thought he could hide until the issue was sorted, "I promise…"
"Good…"
As Killua was about to leave the room, Daniel stopped him once more, "I'm sorry… I just didn't-" The boy stopped, clutching his chest from the pain shooting through his body.
"Daniel!" Killua came to his partner's side, grabbing the boy before he could fall over. His eyes scanned his partner, noticing the abnormal dark purple patches of aura, weaving through his partner's own. What exactly was happening to Daniel?
Alluka came to the door, the sound of her brother's voice causing her concern "Big-" All she could do was watch her brother rub his partner's back, Alluka's fists shaking. How come she hadn't notice what was happening? Daniel had been by her side all day… yet she hadn't seen signs of anything abnormal throughout the entire day.
This was the second time it happened today. Ever since they arrived in Aswaqiya, it's like his body has been conflicted, as though he shouldn't be here. Could it be possible that Victor somehow followed them… is watching them right now?
No, Killua promised him that they weren't followed to Azia. Killua made sure that it wasn't possible for the man to follow them, IF he chose to follow them. Daniel looked up at Killua, pain evident in his eyes.
Killua's finger's traced through the boy's aura, unable to tug at the offending aura. All he could do is watch, and hope that Daniel could pull through the situation on his own. This couldn't have been the first time. How long has Daniel hidden this from him…?
A week…? Ever since he had his memories returned?
Killua's hand continued to stroke the boy, wondering why he'd rather hide this, then tell him the moment it happened. Forget dinner! Who cares if it gets cold, he needs to know the information now.
It took another few minutes longer, but eventually, Daniel calmed down, no longer shaking as he took a lung full of air, catching up on what was lost, during the moment Victor's animosity spread throughout his aura.
Killua took notice of Alluka standing at the doorway, frowning slightly. She didn't know what was going on either… neither of them had. "Alluka, have some dinner, I'm going to have a quick chat with Daniel…"
"But-"
"I promise, everything is going to be ok. We're just going to have a chat… once I understand the situation, then I'll be able to bring you up to speed… ok?"
Alluka nodded, looking down at Daniel who was unable to look up. He was scared, that his lack of action may have damaged his relationship with her brother.
When Alluka shut the door, Killua picked up Daniel, making him sit in a chair as Killua sat in another beside him, "Tell me everything."
"I didn't want to worry you…"
"It's too late for that," the boy offered a sincere smile, a hand coaxing the boy to tell him more.
"I'm sorry for not telling you sooner… it started the moment we arrived here. While you called my father, I experienced my first one…"
Killua bit his lip at the news. His boyfriend had held it in for almost four days now, but it doesn't explain how many times it has happened, or what or who exactly was causing it. Killua noted that it was Victor's aura causing it, but unsure if the man is making this happen… or it's a by-product of the aura for trying to reactive its true purpose, "How many times has this happened…?"
The boy paused for a moment, as if he were counting the amount of times it had happened. But in reality, Daniel's answer came out far too quickly for Killua's own liking "six…"
"You have to tell me these things…"
"I… I didn't want you to worry any further." Tears fell freely from his eyes, pleading for his own mind to not say any more. But he couldn't stop himself. He should've told Killua sooner, before he had to find out the hard way, "You're already trying to find Scarlet, and I didn't want you to have to worry about me! You already have enough on you plate… you didn't need this! If only Victor's stupid aura didn't act up… In all honesty, I'm scared that Victor is nearby, causing this… but at the same time, wouldn't he have already forced me to forget about you again… rather than relying on his dormant aura?"
"He might think you've discovered the information on your own… maybe even believing you somehow fought through his ability on your own, that's why he may have not approached you personally."
"Killua… I remember what he exactly looks like, but I haven't seen him once."
"Nor have I… I didn't see anyone by your description. Right now, you are my number one priority… the reason as to why we're here. If you have another one, please come to me during, or after it happens…"
"Ok…"
Killua shifted to the edge of his seat, pulling Daniel in close, afraid of the situation. If he makes the wrong move now, what could be the consequences for tomorrow? He needs to make the next right move, "One last question… was Victor's aura always that… vicious?"
"No, it's gotten bigger the last few days… and I honestly don't know why. Please don't get mad at me."
"Oh, I am… but only a little."
"I-" As Daniel was about to speak, Killua interrupted the boy "Look, I care about you… as much as Alluka. PLEASE don't tell her I said that. I don't want a repeat of you two squabbling for my affections…"
Daniel snickered as he wrapped his arms around his boyfriend, "I won't…"
Satisfied at the respond, Killua placed a small kiss on the boy's forehead, embarrassed for showing affection, but at the same time, happy to hear Daniel wouldn't go against his wish. He hasn't broken a promise yet, and this would be an exception "Ok, we're going to eat… then explain the situation to Alluka. THEN, you're going to help me from now on, sort through the remaining documents, starting from tomorrow. We'll be able to finish it off in one day, and I get to look after you at the same time… alright…?"
"And your family thinks you're heartless…"
"Huh, what does that have to do with anything…?" Killua thought about the situation wondering why Daniel and Nathaniel thought alike. They both seem to care about their partner's wellbeing, more than their own.
"Oh, it's just your family wants you to be an assassin, but here you are… with me, and Alluka, looking after us like you're our Guardian Angel."
"Well," Killua feint embarrassment, hiding his face from the boy, "that's because someone has to… I just happen to care about you two!"
"Well… in any case I'm proud to be your friend… best friend, and now boyfriend. I got to see how much of you changed with our help, Gon's included."
"Like you did anything…" Killua challenges the boy with a smug expression, expecting none of it to come back, to backfire.
"Just showered you in, love… affection…" Daniel looked up at Killua, showing his toothy grin to the boy "Kisses."
Killua instead surprised him, stealing a warm kiss from the boy. Nothing shows Daniel's submissiveness, like Killua being dominant in their relationship. It wiped off that smug expression to give away a shocked, flushed, erotic expression. He won't fall victim to this game anymore. They were in a relationship, and like or not, Daniel is going to continue being cheesy as fuck, "Oops, looks like I broke my… boyfriend…" He doesn't remember if it's the first time his admitted it out loud, but he knows for a fact, this is the first time he hasn't felt embarrassed for saying it.
Daniel's expression softened, feeling warmth at how sweet and tender the moment felt to him. Killua admitted it, and he no longer felt shame, or embarrassment for doing so, "You did… Killua…"
The boy looked at Daniel, now questioning the boy's motives. He hopes he isn't going to come back and slam-dunk some cheesiness on him, "Yes…?"
"Thank you, for not getting upset at me…"
"I'm more worried about you. You don't tend to keep everything in…"
Daniel looked away, guilt evident in his features. Killua has helped him a lot, yet he keeps hiding away his troubles every time he believes he is a burden on the boy. He needs to stop thinking that way, trusting Killua's judgement more often. When he feels like his troubles keep amounting to something he believes he can handle, he should speak up about his concerns to Killua, and hopefully not burden the boy with every single issue "I'll try to change that habit…"
"Good…" Killua pats the boy's head as if he were a dog, "I'm proud of you…"
Daniel frowned at the treatment, but he couldn't really argue back. He liked how Killua's fingers weaved through his hair, even if the boy's actions were intended to be demeaning.
"~"
Iason stood along the ledge, leaning over the side to get a better look at the surrounding area.
It was originally Sakura's idea to come to this location, and he could see why. The mountainside made sure the scenic view was never boring; it had a lush forest, covering the ground like a sea made of leaves, barely any rocky formation left to give that dull outward bland appearance.
He could get lost in the scenic view, but the gentle breeze would make him cold if he stood here for too long. But, the bath behind him was looking really appealing right now.
He could tell at a glance that it was really warm, not too hot. It also was perfectly situated where one could sit, and still get a generous view. It had a nice wooden floor, built around a medium size bath, able to fit at least eight adults without any of them touching each other. The inside of the bath had a marble finish, with an open marble trail that replaced one of the planks that helped lead water into the bath, making sure the was always full.
There must have been a mechanism which helped drain the water, making sure it was always recycled constantly, hopefully never in the bath for longer than a day, and to also stop the water from turning stagnant.
He could only imagine the kind of elaborate system designed to keep these baths running.
The water rippled as Iason got into the private bath, courtesy of Gon's Hunter's License benefits. Honestly, he was glad he was the first one into the bath… he's still trying to prepare himself for what his about to witness.
He hasn't seen Gon or Sakura completely naked and doesn't know how he'll react. Hopefully, none of his body will betray his internal thoughts. Then again, he did also recently almost kiss Gon or at least would've given in if Gon attempted to kiss him.
It also didn't help, that Sakura had given him a 'massage' recently, which in his mind more felt like a reason for the boy to feel him up. Didn't help that at the time, not only was he half naked, if he were to think about it… the boy's hands were soft, like silk being run over piano keys.
He really felt like he was being played like a piano that day.
Then again… it might also have been thanks to the oil being used at the time.
Iason let out a blissful sigh, further relaxing into the water as he let the mineral water soak his skin. Something about the location made everything in the world around him seemed peaceful, even when his emotions tugged and pulled at his every whim.
He glanced in the direction of nature, watching the sun slowly descend, the birds flocking in the wind as gentle breezes grazed the skin above the water. For someone who was more attuned to nature, Sakura certainly knew where to look for a good view.
Although, the forest could hide someone using a pair of binoculars to spy on their side of the building; although, he couldn't think of what kind pervert would be down there, wanting to check out naked children.
Plus, the person would only get a good view if Iason, Gon or Sakura were to stand at the ledge.
Iason's thoughts were shut down the moment the boy heard the sliding door open, Gon walking in proudly, uncaring if there was anyone spying on them. He practically was strutting into the room like he owns the building, a towel over his shoulder, and nothing to hide anything.
Iason's eyes opened widely, unable to look away if he wanted to. Gon was ripped, but that wasn't where his eyes were mainly focused, it was what was hanging between Gon's legs; the boy's flaccid member, easily within the four-inch zone. If it's that big now, his mind could only imagine what it would be like hard…
Gon smiled brightly, his eyes glued to the view before him, "It's really beautiful…"
"Yeah…" Iason's agreed absentmindedly, unable to take his eyes off Gon for a second. He didn't even know what he just agreed to at the time; his mind practically responded without a single care in the world.
Gon sighed in relief as he slid into the bath, "Wow this feels really good! Sakura must love it here…"
"Yeah…" He had agreed with another thing he had no idea what he had accepted. His mind was too busy focusing on the sound Gon made, which translated to either a groan or possibly a moaned.
He was completely under Gon's spell, and he had no idea what was bringing on this trance. He wasn't even in La-La land with the fairies, he was in a completely different dimension now, doing god knows what that equivalent would be…
Gon hummed as he swam up to the edge of the bath, standing atop the ledge under the water, gazing over the wooden flooring into the depths below, "Wow! It's like a green sea down there, full of life and wonderful creatures I hope we can witness!"
If heaven were a thing, it would be those two jelly-like mounds staring back at him. His mind wandered, imagining what it would be like to tap them like bongos. Would they ripple like water…? Were they soft to the touch…? The Carmel skin certainly made it look like it was made from milk chocolate, ready to eat "Totally…"
Gon looked over his shoulder, ready to smile at the boy, but Iason was way too preoccupied to even notice anything. He was only starting at him, at that concerned the boy.
Gon turned to face Iason, his lower half barely in the water, in full view of Iason as he looked over his body, checking to see what exactly Iason was looking at, "Is there something on my body?"
The words pulled Iason out of his trance, unfortunately too late to even think of a cover story, much less to answer the boy's question, "Huh, what?"
Gon pouted from the response, excepting a proper answer from the boy, "You were staring an awful lot at me like something was on my body…?"
"No-" Iason's cheeks flushed bright red, caught red-handed by the person he'd been openly staring at for the last two eternities, "NO! No, I wasn't… I wasn't staring at you." He tried to look away, but his brain was too busy trying to get a second, or was it a third look at this point?
Gon fumed as he sat down in the water, causing a splash and ripple in the process. His cheeks blown up in a way, that made him look like a cute blowfish floating in the water, rather than angry one, "You weren't even listening…"
"Sorry…" Iason apologized, the water now covering everything he had been daydreaming about a second ago.
"It's ok…" Gon hummed as he smiled once more, now sitting up straight to the point half of his body remained above the water, a half Iason sadly couldn't stop looking at, but this time he was actually more focused, noticing the freshly healed scars along the boy's skin. He now had an excuse if Gon called him out on his constant staring.
"Wow," Gon spoke once more, Iason's attention barely on him. He held a finger above the water, pointing at something under the water as he spoke, "Yours gets big like mine to…"
Iason looked down, following the trail to where Gon's finger ended. Shit… His body betrayed his internal struggle, his member poised perpetually, as if ready to give a standing ovation. You betrayed me!
But Gon's innocence also concerned him as well. Does Gon not know what a hard-on is? Would he be too innocent, for Iason's dirty mind? No, Gon was older than him. He must already know by now…?
Well, in any case, he can sort of lie about the situation. Gon had given him a free get out of jail card, "Yeah, it's normal for that to happen. So yours gets like that too?" IDIOT, IDIOT! You have a get out of jail card! But you instead discard it, just so you can continue to have a reason to check out Gon…
"Yeah, mine randomly gets hard too. But it happens a lot around Sakura, mostly when we kiss."
You are too way too pure and innocent for this world… The boy thought; feeling for some ungodly reason, jealous at the words. It was as if the internal struggle was threatening to break him, to make him say the real reason why he was hard. But he saved face, biting back those words before they could even dare threaten to come out.
Lucky for Iason, Sakura had overheard what Gon said, not so much the context behind the reason for the words. He was honestly mortified at the boy's language "Gon, that isn't something you casually admit."
Gon and Iason both turned to face the boy, and just like for Gon, Iason's body continued to betray him.
Sakura wasn't ripped like Gon, but his body was certainly smooth, no blemishes to be seen in sight. He was thin, but not too thin to the point he looked like a twig. He had had a bit of fat on him at suit his body type.
Was the boy's body as soft as his hands that night? What would it be like to touch his skin… to really feel the comparison between the two lovers? Iason had to force his mind back to reality because as soon as he looked downward, he noticed Sakura was wearing some swim trunks.
Was the boy self-conscious of his body?
No, he and Gon had been together for a while. They must have done it at some point. If he were in Sakura's shoes, his hands would be unable to- NO! NO! NO! NO! Don't go there right now… we're not even in a relationship! It would feel so wrong to steal Gon away from Sakura. Those two belong together… he couldn't deny it.
Sakura moved towards the bath, sitting down on the edge of the wood, so his legs dangled in the water.
Gon swam gracefully to his boyfriend's side; hand outstretched "You're not supposed to wear clothes in the bath, Sakura…"
As Gon was about to pull away Sakura's trunks, the boy moved away, closer to Iason. For a split second, both boys saw fear in Sakura's eyes. Gon looked the most worried, pulling his fingers away, "What's wrong?"
Sakura quickly slid into the bath before either one could notice, "It's nothing…" The boy sat uncomfortably in the water, Gon inches away from him. Neither of them was prepared to move, so Iason was the one to somehow disengage the situation… even though he was probably the biggest offender of them all.
After all, he did check out both of them… "Gon it's ok, it's not like the rules strictly say you have to be naked…" He almost squeaked out the last part, because, in his head, his mind wanted to see what was underneath those trunks. Would it be as cute as the rest of the boy's body?
Yeah, today was definitely the worst day of his life. If he could rewind time, he'll make sure he never came. He'll have a normal bath… so he had no chance to check them out.
Gon slid over to Sakura, the boy making no moves to leave Gon. He gracefully slid his butt over the marble, sitting right next to his partner as he stretched an arm around the boy, face inches away from Sakura's temple. One quick kiss later, apologized for his earlier actions, "I'm sorry… I should've asked you first."
Sakura's lip trembled; it was so hard to stay mad at Gon, especially when he was sincere about admitting his mistakes, "You're lucky you're cute…"
"NU, UH…" Gon hummed, leaning over his boyfriend who immediately regretted his earlier words "you're cuter…"
Iason moved away slightly, feeling awkward in the situation, especially when his mind wanted to sandwich himself between them. Puberty, hormones and feelings were being an utter bitch to him right now. He'd pay money to get out of this situation right now, but on the other hand, the bath did feel really nice…
Sakura's breath was stolen away; Gon's tender eyes, hair now flat, barely touching the water was a sight to behold. He would kiss Gon, but there was someone else in the room right now, who'd feel unwelcomed at the scene being put forth, "Gon, you're making the situation weird for poor Iason."
"No, don't mind me… I'm just enjoying the scenery." Iason's cheeks flushed as he realised out of context, that could sound so wrong, on so many levels "I'm talking about the view… outside the room. Those trees sure look pretty…" Good… job!
Gon laughed as he removed himself from Sakura, swimming over to Iason's side.
Please don't come closer… please…
Gon kneeled on the seat, looking over the ledge, his butt a few inches above the water, "Yeah, the view is great…"
Don't check him out…. DON'T CHECK HIM OUT! Iason moved closer to the edge so he had no way to look at the curve dipping into the water, leading to those mounds that looked like they were made of marshmallows or a substance of similar softness. He rested his head against his arms, making sure his eyes only looked forward at all times.
He had nothing really to say, other than to nod in agreement.
The room fell silent once more, Sakura now looking at both Gon and Iason's back. He felt like this moment would be right to admit it, as it had been eating him alive the whole time, scared to admit it to even Gon.
Sure, Gon simply views gender as nothing more than a pretty stamp on an envelope, but the reason he held it in for so long because he hasn't felt ready to admit his difference. Daniel may have caught him off guard, making him admit he was different, but those words he said back then… he sort of clung to them with Gon.
Nonsense, I don't believe you should put yourself down. You're attractive to people out there and anyone who says I'm wrong well... they should jump in a closet or hide in their parents' basement.
Back then, he saw it as Daniel flirting with him. But the moment he saw the boy's eyes, it was nothing more than a spoken truth. He had feelings for someone else, stuck in an infinite loop of wanting to get Killua's affections, will try to understand why he wanted them in the first place.
Now, on the other hand, Sakura's position was different. He already gained Gon's affection, but he was still scared of the possible outcome of rejection, even though he shouldn't be.
Iason being here, also, didn't help the situation at all in his mind. What if… what if the three of them did end up dating? Gon has an uncanny ability to drag everyone in, to flood them with unyielding love; he could practically drown the world in it…
"Gon…" Sakura let out a soft breath, "Iason…" pulling himself out of the water, the boy sat on the wood once more, fingers touching together as the two turned to face him. He wondered how he should say it, well, more like show it. Does he just drop his trunks like it's some grand reveal, or does he prep the boys beforehand?
"Umm… I want to, well… feel like I should…" Sakura lost the words on the tip of his tongue, Gon stepping, or in his case swimming forward to stop him "It's ok Sakura, you don't have to do anything. When you feel ready, you can tell us… maybe one at a time if you feel more comfortable with that?"
Sakura trembled at the words. Gon simply didn't care… he still loved him, regardless of what was in his pants. But he didn't want to hide it any longer, so his fingers found his waistband, standing on top of the marble step as he slowly pushed them down, "I don't want to hide it any longer…" pushing his pants down all the way, he hid his face, unable to see the boys' reaction.
Gon openly stared. He was so different to them, unlike what he has seen on his own body, and even Iason's. Sakura's cute penis flopped limply down between his thighs, no bigger than two inches, but what was underneath surprised him the most. Sakura didn't have any balls, just a slit, an opening barely hidden behind his penis.
He didn't know why Sakura was so different, but regardless, he still loves him, no less than before. He just didn't know how to put it into words, so he could get his boyfriend to look at him without any worries plaguing his mind. So, he said the first thing to come to his mind, "You're still beautiful…"
Sakura's body trembled, hands shaking as he held back the tears. He wasn't expecting that. He honestly had no idea what response he was expecting. But the other hadn't responded at all, so Sakura was forced to wait…
Iason held his eyes on the boy, something else clicking to his mind. He's pretty sure one of medical books Leorio had mentioned this. He believes the original term was hermaphrodite, but Leorio originally said it in a disgusting manner, hating how the people in the olden days coined the term.
Nowadays, people with such characteristics fall under the intersex umbrella, unable to be determined as either male or female, "you're intersex…" Iason curiously admitted, now unable to look away from Sakura. There was no other way to say it… he was still beautiful in his own way.
The fact that Sakura was willing to show this to them, showed that he had trusted both of them completely with this reveal. Without even realising what he was about to say, the boy spoke once more, "You're still cute, Sakura… a really cute guy…"
Gon's eyes widened as he looked towards Iason, a new form of admiration for the boy building up inside him. Not only did he understand why Sakura was so different from them, but he also accepted the boy completely, unafraid to admit what he saw.
Sakura's lip trembled as he looked at both boys, they didn't care he was different. Iason even knew the medical term, for why he was so different; he never said it out of disgust… but wonder and awe. He half expected Gon's reaction, but Iason's took him by surprise…
But what was more surprising, was the way Iason's eyes at never left his body, his eyes filled with something else, something, his used to seeing with Gon all the time.
Since when, did Iason start to notice him this way? Was it even possible he saw Gon in a similar manner or was it just admiration he was seeing, and the boy had no idea he was looking at him with eyes that said something completely different, like way Gon, was looking at Iason now? "Gon, I think…"
Gon moved towards Iason, drawn to the boy who had spoken such kind words to his partner. He was non-judgemental, accepting Sakura completely, going as far to praise the boy's looks. He noticed these slight moments, thinking that Iason may have even been like him at times. He wanted to kiss the boy, to thank him properly of his kind words.
Even if Iason were to reject his feelings, he wouldn't be disappointed. He could see without a doubt, the boy had feelings for his partner, and if Sakura wanted to be with him, he'd be happy to let them share their love with each other. His fingers touching Iason's side drew the boy out of his trance.
They were full of confusion like he had been caught red-handed. But before he could ask what Gon was doing, the next thing he saw was boy face inching forward, Iason's eyes closing, as waited for what was about to happen next. Warm arms wrapped around him, pulling him closer as their lips connected.
Gon had kissed him, and he didn't even attempt to push the boy back.
