Gon finishes off his date with Iason, ending it with something he wasn't expecting. Killua, Daniel and Alluka get a final visit from Eifion, the four of them discussing what they plan on studying.
Sakura's head perked up when he heard the jingling keys. Iason and Gon were back early, although the boy had no idea why. He was happy though, especially if they were coming back indefinitely.
He has been feeling lonely all day, bored even.
"Sakura…?" Gon asked as he stepped into the hallway, Iason carrying Sakura's food. Gon put down the keys for a moment, a smile is brought about at the prospect of seeing Sakura's expression.
He wasn't disappointed when he turned a corner; Sakura was caught jumping into his arms. Gon caught his partner with a smile, their heads tilting slightly to accommodate a kiss.
Iason felt a little left out, but considering he had been hogging Gon all day, he could only imagine how much Sakura missed them. He quietly placed the food on the counter, as his eyes lingered back to the two lovers.
Sakura eventually pulled back, Gon's arms still curled around his waist, "Are you finished with your date?"
"No…" Gon offered an apologetic smile, which in turn made Sakura's expression sadden a little. "Just one more thing to do; we actually came back because I needed to pick something up, but more importantly…" Gon held out his hand to the bag of food, "we brought you some late lunch… I hope you like what we picked out."
"Oh, that's sweet of two of you…" On the plus side, at least it was only one more thing left to do, "So what did you two do?"
Iason held out a hand as he touched a finger for every disaster that happened, "I got swarmed by Pink-Billed Platypus, watched Meerbears… got on a rollercoaster that sent us flying around the Amusement Park… Also, Gon gave away our remaining Amusement Park tickets to a random child…" As endearing as the act was, I'm not going to tell Sakura how sweet the action was. Especially seeing as it makes my heart flutter with delight…
"It wasn't that bad…" Gon huffed out, "you make it sound worse than it was…"
Sakura put his hands on his hips, "See, I told you Iason wouldn't like the Amusement park…"
Gon looked down at the floor guiltily, "you were right… BUT," Gon held out a hand for Iason, "but we did have a nice tender moment when I was failing to win the Fox Bear. We spoke a little about my past, Killua, Daniel and Alluka. So wasn't complete failure…"
Sakura nodded at the news, "Well that's good to hear… Why don't you go get what you need? The sooner you leave, the sooner you can come back."
"Right!" Gon was getting ready to bolt, but he stopped with a sly Cheshire cat grin, "Aww, do you miss us."
Sakura threw a pillow at Gon, "Baka, just go get ready…"
Gon dodged the pillow with ease, his smile remaining the whole time as he left to grab his fishing rod. At least now Sakura and Iason could have a moment alone; to hopefully share some unsaid feelings. He hopes the two can share a tender kiss, as he sees their love as genuine… perfect, in the eyes of those that have a keen sense.
As jealous as he'll be witnessing it, he knows firsthand that what those two shares, allows them to be more comfortable with one another.
Iason let out a tormented sigh, his hands reaching out to touch Sakura's shoulders, "I need your help…"
"With what…?"
"How do you stop Gon's onslaught of compliments."
"You don't…" Sakura weaved his fingers through the boy's hairs, "you can't…" The boy let out a sigh as he leaned in closer, "I've learned to accept that truth. You can ask him to ease up on those compliments, but it's his way of showing love and affection… If he doesn't get to show it as often, he gets well… a little jealous, to the point he's only going to… well, compliment you even more. Just look back on the bath incident. When the two of us were kissing… he, forcefully I might add… claimed your lips like it was the last time he was ever going to kiss you…"
"Don't remind me…" Iason bit his lip, his own affections and desires strengthening as the seconds go by. He wants to kiss his two partners, but just as importantly, he doesn't want them to think they are pushing themselves on him.
He wants their tender moment to just be like Sakura and Gon's earlier, to sync perfectly. Iason took a deep breath as he leaned into the boy, unsure if he could replicate Gon's habits.
The two's lips connected, although briefly, Iason savouring the connection. Just like Sakura had done so with Gon, the boy pulled back, his fingers reaching out to tuck strands of Iason's hair behind his eyes, as a warm smile escaped his lips.
"Your sweet, Iason…"
Iason nodded slightly, his fingers clasping along the boy's neck. It doesn't feel the same as when Gon kisses him, but it still feels right none of the less. Iason curled his hands around Sakura, holding the boy close. He'll cherish the moment while he can, because at the end of tonight… hopefully, he'll get to savour a kiss from Gon.
He wants it…
Gon returned, his expression softening from Iason and Sakura's hug. He would interrupt them, but he wants them to snap out of it on their own. He continued to wait in silence until Iason was the one to remove himself from Sakura's grasp.
Rather than make himself be known, Gon continued to walk as if he were coming from around the corner, "Iason ready to go?"
"Y-Yeah…"
When the two left, Sakura opened the bag of food they left for him, cracking open the plastic lid before grabbing a fork from the draws. He sampled one of the two meals, enjoying the taste of creamy butter sauce. With a smile, Sakura continued to eat, happy with what the others brought him.
"~"
Iason eyed the object Gon brought wrapped in a towel, unsure of what it was. Gon's secretive nature made it impossible to divulge what they were going to do next, all day. Right now they were heading further into a forest, Gon leading them to a spot where he planned to use whatever was hidden in the towel.
Eventually, they reached a lake, Gon circling around the body of water until he reaches a spot he was satisfied with, "This spot should be good…"
"If you planned to go skinny dipping, you should have brought another towel…"
Gon burst into laughter, the bubbling in his chest causing even Iason to smile slightly. Although, a small part of him was disappointed; more often than not, he'd play close attention to Gon's naked form, counting the lines and curves he wouldn't mind exploring.
"No… we aren't going skinny dipping." Gon unravelled the towel, revealing his fishing rod to the boy, "I'm going to teach you some fishing tips. Now, I know usually you go fishing in the morning… but then we would've missed out on all the fun we had in the animal sanctuary."
Gon held out his arms in an open gesture, expecting Iason to come closer.
Iason looked at Gon blankly, unsure what to think about the situation. It's been a long time since he had gone fishing with anyone. Gon's open expression, his smile proved there was no hidden agenda, he just wanted to make sure he had a good time… and with something as relaxing as fishing, he was bound to have some sort of fun.
He missed going fishing with his dad and Kaiba. But he wasn't exactly ready to reveal that part of his life yet, so he'll have to play pretend around Gon. Iason stepped up into Gon's grasp, the boy holding his body as he was guiding his posture.
It felt nice to be touched by Gon, but that internal stirring didn't help the situation.
"If you follow these movements… you should be fine casting the line…" With a hand firmly pressed against Iason's waist, and another helping him firmly grasp the fishing rod, Gon swayed the boy's hips, showing him how to move his body when casting the line, "See, easy." Gon hummed into his partner's neck, a small smile forming as he eased his grip, "now you do it."
Iason followed the motions, casting the rod just like Gon show him, the hook landing in the water with a plop.
Gon cheered loudly, Iason now flustered for not doing anything special; he just cast the line… without bait.
"Alright, now I'm going to teach you how to reel it in, then we're going to use some bait. But first…"
Gon picked up the towel, flicking the dirt off it before wrapping the towel around them, "To keep us warm. Now see the reel, I want you to rotate it in a circular pattern, with a forward motion."
Iason followed Gon's request, reeling in the line like the boy requested. Gon's warmth didn't help the situation at all, the way his hands circled around his body, comforting him in a manner that made him crave even more of that feeling.
Gon's method of teaching is so different when compared to Kaiba or his father, Isaac. The boy tends to have a hand on approach, unlike his father who was only able to show him the basics with fishing…
Kaiba showed him how to fish, as well as which bait to use, and spots that were perfect to cast your line. But Gon… he's repeating all those lessons, with as much touching as he possibly can. It's almost as bad as the bath incident, only this time they're fully clothed.
Not that it's helping in anyway…
When Gon curled a particular hand upward, Iason shivered at the touch, which in turn made Gon worried, "Are you cold…?" He wrapped the blanket over them so it was tighter, Gon using his body warmth to keep them both cosy "If you get too cold, you can tell me."
"It's fine…" Iason reeled in the line, the bobber now resting in his hand; it was bright and vibrant… just like Gon. Gon took the bobber in his hand. He slid a worm onto it before letting Iason cast the line back in, "I can't remember if this happened, but I'm pretty sure Killua was super disgusted with having to put the worm on…"
"It can look disgusting when it's wiggling…"
Gon giggled into the back of Iason's neck. It made the boy feel flustered, but from his position, Gon wouldn't be able to see his reddening cheeks. But this scene… he can't focus on the fishing part when his mind was clearly focused on what Gon was doing to his body.
He wanted to feel more than just these feathered touches.
Iason tilted his head slightly, turning in a manner that helped him see the expression Gon was making right now. The boy was smiling, his eyes clearly focused on who was in his arms.
Without missing a beat, Iason buried the fishing rod in the dirt, before turning around in the boy's arms. It made Gon worried, to see Iason's attention on something other than what they were doing.
Iason wanted to let the boy know how much he meant to him, in a way Gon best showed those feelings. As his arms wrapped around the boy's waist, the two fell onto the ground with a thud.
Gon giggled, laughter bubbling up his chest as held Iason's cheeks. Indescribable warmth filled his hands, his love for the boy flourishing from within. He took the opportunity to kiss Iason on the forehead before pulling away with a bigger smile, "I hope you didn't get hurt when we fell down…"
Iason didn't respond; he instead felt something snap from within. As if being controlled by an unknown force as one of his hands felt Gon's cheek.
Gon felt his mood brighten. Having Iason so close to him made him so happy; especially considering his partner was looking at him with an expression that clearly showed love, "I'm glad we got to spend time together… I-"
Iason leaned forward, his mind unable to focus on the words coming from the boy who supplied him with undeniable happiness. He kissed his partner, savouring the taste of the boy's lips.
His hands explored the boy's body as Gon's actions got more fervent, hungry with the challenge Iason was clearly displaying. He loved what Iason was doing with his hands, taking notes for later when it comes to Sakura or even Iason with future explorations.
When Iason's hands slipped under the boy's shirt, Gon gasped in surprise, enjoying the new sensations Iason was supplying him with. He pulled Iason in closer, one hand supporting the boy's back while the other supplied gentle squeezes on Iason's rear, knowing full well it happened to be one of the few places Iason clearly enjoyed being touched.
When Iason gasped in delight at the sensation, Gon brought his hand supporting the boy's back to his head, pulling the boy's body closer, the sounds spurring his menstruations to try newer techniques.
Iason slipped his tongue inside Gon's waiting mouth, trying to coax the boy into using his tongue a little more. He wasn't disappointed when Gon's tongue circled his own, lapping at the appendage. He forced himself to sit upright, his lips leaving Iason's to instead attack the boy's neck, peppering kisses along the juncture that made Iason mewl in delight.
Soon his own body started to move on his own, Iason unconsciously grinding on Gon's lower body. When Gon attempted to match Iason's movement, Iason ceased his actions, stopping himself from showing Gon any new behaviours he'd soon regret.
With reddened cheeks and panting breaths, Iason slowed down Gon's actions, his kissing becoming mellow, calm before ceasing completely.
Gon kissed Iason one final time before exclaiming loud and proudly, "That was fun!" The boy continued to exclaim which parts he loved as Iason's breaths slowed down, his eyes unable to focus, to listen to the boy proudly arguing what he loved.
Deep down he regrets a few of his actions because he promised Sakura he wouldn't do anything until they were able to delve deep into boy's past. As long as Gon doesn't try to use these new tactics on Sakura before the following 'talk' in the next few days, everything should be fine.
He'll just have to be careful from now on…
With one deep breath, Iason controlled his feelings, "I… enjoyed today too." Minus a few things… "I do… lo-" Iason bit his tongue before offering the boy a sincere smile, "I liked what you did for me today. I had fun…"
Iason nodded in delight, "Good! Next time I'll include Sakura because today was just about us… and making you happy. I feel like I achieved that goal so Sakura will be included next time. Maybe I can show him things you taught me today…"
"N- N- No!"
"No…?" Gon pouted from being denied new explorations. But for a moment, he could see something spooked Iason. Rather than pushing for the information, he simply held Iason close, the hand that was once supporting the boy's head now calmly running along the boy's back, "It's ok… I think I understand."
Iason clung to the boy; he savoured the comfort the boy was providing. It provided the same sort of feelings Sakura was so good at. He could now understand something about how their relationship works. They were feeding off each other, picking up on good habits they enjoyed from each other…
It made his stomach flip out of curiosity. What habit will he end up providing, that Gon or Sakura would use on each other…?
"~"
Killua heard a knock at the door, his eyebrow raising as he walked over to the door to address the circumstance. There could only be two possible reasons as to why their door was being knocked on.
It had to be either Eifion or one of the three other students occupying the room 205.
If it was Eifion, he would've imagined the man would've called in advance, just to make sure they were still in their room. Otherwise, he'll be knocking on the door of an empty room.
"Who is it…?" Killua asked his voice calm and neutral to the occupant on the other side.
"It is I… your savour, the one who called you two hours ago to let you know I'm coming."
Killua rolled his eyes at the sarcastic tone, opening the door to be greeted by none other than Eifion, his hair just as dishevelled as the day they met him. Although, when Killua opened the door, he made sure to let the man know he wasn't mildly amused at his spoken words.
Eifion raised an eyebrow, "What, I did call you a few hours ago… to let you know I was coming at this time."
"Daniel, did you pick up the phone at any point today…?"
"No…? I don't even remember the phone going off."
Eifion sighed as he stepped in the room, hands filled with documents, "Don't tell me I called room 205 instead…"
"You might have…" Killua chuckled as he closed the door.
"Well, at least I brought the right documents, so…" Eifion pause, recollecting his thoughts before continuing, "I know I said I'll come by in the morning, yesterday. But things got hectic… I didn't check to notice I had four meetings. That being said, I'm here now, so… will you be staying with us?"
Killua looked over his shoulder, taking not of Daniel filling a glass with water. He wanted the boy to speak up on his own, to prove that he isn't as weak as he thinks he is.
"Yes…" Daniel sighed before speaking, "I have an amazing boyfriend who comforted me on this matter."
Killua's cheeks burned, "Baka… I would've done this for you even if you were a friend."
"Good, so I trust you filled out the forms then?"
"Yes, except for Alluka's birthday. Not only have I forgotten when it was… Alluka doesn't remember either. It didn't help that my family had her locked up because of her ability, or that we didn't celebrate birthdays like a… well, normal family…"
Eifion looked at Alluka, before looking back over to Killua, "Well, in that case, why not pick a random day and celebrate it until you find out her real birthday? It might not make the day special to her per se… but at least you'll still be able to make her feel special one day a year…"
Killua looked over to Alluka, seeing her smile at the possibility. Even if they never find out her birthday through normal means, she'll be happy, to have her brother pick a day to celebrate her birthday. He means so much to her… as she does for him.
He knew just the right month to do so. So many special events were coming up, but there was one day in particular, which can mean so much more to Alluka, Christmas… that's the one day of the year he's going to make sure it's super special for her. She's never celebrated it, but with Daniel at his side, he can make sure it goes perfectly for his sister.
"December 12th, 1988… Even if I can never make that day feel special to her, it's what's waiting around the corner, which I WILL make special to her."
"Ahh…" Eifion hummed in approval.
Daniel turned around to offer his partner an endearing smile, he knows what is 'waiting around the corner' Christmas, the first of probably many Alluka will now get to experience.
Eifion crossed his arms, "Then will you be joining us on our Christmas party? Usually, it's mainly teachers, but the students who decide to stay sometimes join us, or have their own Christmas party planned."
"We'll see…" Killua hummed as he looked over to Alluka, "Now, you'll probably want the paperwork…" The boy left to fill in the last piece of information, the pen hitting the table before he can offer up the forms.
Eifion dropped a large file organiser, filled with the documents given to him by Nathaniel on the table. He simply just stuffed all the documents in the folder without looking over its contents. Killua needs the information for some reason, and he isn't going to infringe on the boy's desire to further study on some part of history; at least he would imagine it relates to some part of history…
The teens trust him to some extent so he will not break his promises. Eifion took the forms before crossing his arms, curious to know what the boys plan to do now. What do they intend to do for courses, considering it's so late in the year.
If none of them has a clue what they want to do, he could either give them tips, or he can sit with them and explain what they could do. Either way, he needs something to work with. If neither of them knows what to study, it might be too late to put them in some classes, or at least give them access to some of the class material…
"Do you know what you intend to study…?"
"Yes," Killua informed the man before ushering Daniel and Alluka over. The two came to join Killua's side, the boy leading the conversation, "If we can, I'd like to start off Alluka small… take the junior course, and then next year… I believe she'd like to pick up on some art classes."
"Yes!" Alluka agreed to the last part of her brother's statement, a huge smile beaming widely.
Eifion held a hand to his chin, humming over the details, "Sure, that sounds fine. I'll look into the junior courses; see if I can find a class averaging less than ten students like we agreed last time."
"Thank you…"
"What about you and Daniel or…" Eifion brought up the documents to flip through the details, "Kyle Cilka and Daniel Aleksandr?"
"Mid-tier Senior classes, Maths and English… with only one recommendation; we want to both be fitted into the same class."
"Reasoning, out of curiosity?"
"Daniel…?"
Daniel took a deep breath before speaking up on behalf of himself, and Killua's goal, "I do have my… reservations. I'm mainly worried that I'd run into someone who has connections to Victor, without even noticing said connections."
"And you're hoping that by having Killua at your side, he'll be able to pick up on what you weren't paying attention to?"
"Yes…"
Eifion smiled at the boys' honesty. These two are trying to work together with what they've got. He can accept that deal, although some teachers would probably be upset at him for not splitting them up… or as another reaction, the teacher that gets them will be very happy with the outcome.
Either way, his willingness to work with the kids on this issue, rather than please the teachers; he has to make sure that the students feel comfortable; especially knowing that Victor wants Daniel dead.
"I can accept that. On one condition… whichever class I stick you into, if you find a suspect, please forward the information onto me so I can deal with the issue myself. I will not let one of my students put themselves into danger. Deal…?"
"Deal," Daniel and Killua held out, Killua opting to finish the statement, "we can accept those terms."
Eifion shook the boy's hands, "Great, I'll see if I can fit you into a class as early as next week. We'll start small, two classes and then next week we'll have three classes. Also, I will be bouncing you boys around with different teachers just so you can try different teachers. If you like a particular one, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'll try to get you in those classes more often."
"Alright…"
"Now…" The man looked over to the girl, flipping through the pages to find her form, "Audrey Cilka, which might I add is a pretty name… I'll try to find you a small class to fit you into. If not, I might have to get you a private tutor…"
Alluka nodded with a smile, "thank you!"
With a smile, the man looked over the three new students about to join his school. It's going to be an interesting few years to come, the two boys bound to shake up the school with talents that may or will shock the other students. He can't wait to see how some of the students and teachers act around the new students, to see how far they push each other in the coming years.
The man eventually sighed after realising his current dilemma. He still has the other students in room 205 to deal with. He did after all, accidentally called them instead of Killua, Daniel and Alluka, "Now I have to deal with the other three students thanks to my earlier mistakes…"
"Who…" Killua spoke up, drawing the man's attention one last time before he leaves, "exactly are they? Are they close to our age…?"
"Well… I can't give you too much information, just their first name and age… I guess." Look back over to Killua, he spoke after a deep breath, "Three students; two girls, one boy. Clarisa is 14, Kiel is 11, and Madelyn is 13… I hope you can get along with them."
Killua crossed his arms, a wicked grin showing as a joke formed in his head. He knows that it's sure to backfire, but he can't just let it slip by "As long as neither of them hit on Alluka or Daniel, I can get along fine with them…"
"Big brother…" The boy's sister whined as Killua gave his biggest, cheeky smile, one that made him resemble a cat.
Daniel, on the other hand, remained silent. He will not be baited on this issue again because of deep down… he's madly in-love with Killua, although on the other hand… he does love when Killua blushes around him. I guess I can fall into his trap… "Oh, what would my poor baby do, if I get swept off my feet by a stranger…?"
Killua felt the tips of his ears to burn; he didn't expect that response. On the other hand, the fact that Daniel was willing to humour his joke did make him smile somewhat. He likes a little banter here and there.
Eifion was not amused, "This is going to end poorly…" the man rubbed his eyes, the tiredness showing.
"Don't worry, we'll try to get along where we can. But, like Killua jokingly admitted… we do kinda put each other on a… I guess you would say pedestal. We deeply care about each other to the point we'd shut down anyone who tries to break us up for a chance to be with us. As for Alluka, Killua is just overprotective of his sister…" The boy looked over to his partner who showed admiration for him.
He can perfectly speak his feelings without the need to step in, "And after dealing with my family, you'll know why…" Killua nod once with a hum of approval.
"Alright then… That, I can understand." Eifion stepped towards the door, stopping one final time before his hand reached for the handle, "Please come speak to me if any issues arise. Now if you excuse me…" The man opened on final time, "I need to apologise to the other students before I leave."
With a quick nod, the man left before closing the door, Killua crossing his arms as he looked between the ones he loves, "So, we'll be starting classes next week most likely. I guess we can go grab some school supplies before we start tomorrow, maybe introduce ourselves to the other occupants if we can…"
"Don't we also have to deal with Gon and the others soon, as well?"
"Right…" Killua sighed as he massaged the back of his head, "That…"
"That…?" Alluka asked out of curiosity, now a little bit worried for her brother and Daniel. It sounded as though Killua was worried about the conversation he has to have with Gon.
Killua kneeled before his sister, offering her smile to brighten up her night "It isn't something to be worried about." With a quick kiss to Alluka's forehead, he made sure to make the girl extra happy, "we're just going to make sure Sakura, Gon and Iason are ok…"
"Who's Iason…?"
Killua shrugged, "I'm honestly not sure yet; he might just be a new friend joining our group, but what can tell you is… he is Leorio's younger brother."
"The doctor…?"
"Yes!" Killua held a hand against her hair, fingers running through some of the strands "Leorio was the doctor." A loud and obnoxious one at that… "Anyways, we've already had dinner. Wanna watch a movie…? All of us… together?"
"Sure!" Daniel chimed in with a smile. He wanted to playfully swipe at Killua's behind, but he isn't about to do that while Alluka can see his actions. Maybe next time, when the two of them are alone…
A small part of him couldn't wait for that moment, just as much as spending the next few years in school by Killua's side.
