Gon is getting more curious about why everyone is dancing around the word intimacy, when he already knows what it means…? Sakura and Iason have a talk about their concerns. Daniel wants to understand more about what happened earlier that day.

Gon hummed to himself; it was a silent song without words, just a tune to keep himself busy as he tried to discover the meaning behind his friend's words. What was the answer to the question the others loved to dance around? He knows what intimacy means, it's just the way the others throw it around, it's like it has a hidden meaning, something that's being dangle right in front his eyes, egging him like he was being challenged.

It was the key to discovering everything that's been happening between himself and Iason. Why having either Sakura or Iason in his arms elicits this hidden desire he doesn't quite understand completely.

He loves Iason and Sakura to bits, and he wants to do more than take them on dates, to hug and kiss them. He wants to touch them just like Iason done the day before. It felt so nice to have the boy in his lap, rubbing his body against his. Or like that time at the hot spring house; how Iason wrapped his legs around him.

Is that the kind of intimacy they were trying so desperately to hide from him?

Actually, Iason might be the only one who knows about this stuff. If so, he was the only one who seems to show signs of these feelings, besides, Daniel and Killua. They seem to act like Iason, refusing to tell him about this form of intimacy. It would've been nice if the ones he held close to his heart could tell him, just so he didn't have to overthink about the scenario.

He doesn't like having all this information dangling before his eyes like a treat. It's time he pushes Iason for a little bit more information. At least some sort of clue he could reach out to search for more information on his own.

Gon looked around, wondering what Iason and Sakura were up to. He really misses them, and he does have more questions. But, at the same time, he doesn't want to infringe on their privacy.

He loves both of them, more than his own curiosity for knowledge…

He wants to share this form of intimacy the others are talking about, with his two partners he fell in love with. But first, his going to need to get the information out of one of them, "Hmm…" the boy proceeded to look at the hallway, where Iason and Sakura disappeared to as he wondered out loud "I wonder what's taking Iason and Sakura so long?"

"~"

Sakura held Iason's hand in his own, more concerned about the boy than being upset at him. To hear Gon blab about something he did with Iason, only to have Iason silence him set off some red flags. He couldn't question Iason while Gon was in the room, so here they were, locked away in Iason's old bedroom.

It looked surprisingly neat for something that hadn't been used in a while. Iason must have been keeping the room clean, even though he hardly used it. It would also be a great place for further training his Nen, the location offered the much-needed privacy if he was going to continue training from unwatchful eyes.

However, none of that mattered right now…

He needed to make sure that whatever Iason and Gon have been doing; the two of them were being safe. But at the same time, he needed to make sure that he wasn't grilling one or the other on the matter.

What the two of them have agreed too, is to their own discretion. And he wanted Iason to know that "Iason, what was Gon talking about?"

"It… it was a mistake. That's all…"

Sakura shifted his grasp, his thumbs circling the back of the boy's wrist in a comforting manner; he's safe… just like Iason made him feel in the shower. No matter what happens, he'll continue to love Iason, "I'm not upset with you. I just want to understand…"

"I promise… I won't do it again."

"I trust you…"

Iason bit his tongue at those words, he doesn't really trust himself. The more time he spends with Gon, the more he wants to be touched by the boy. He is just the right catalyst to opening up those feelings. It's like Gon awakes this primal urge in him, which can barely be subdued by rational thoughts.

Sakura shouldn't trust him at all with this matter, because deep down, he feels the same for Sakura. It's just a matter of time before he breaks either of their trust, "I… I don't feel comfortable talking about it yet, because I barely understand it myself." That's a lie… I know exactly what this is. I… Iason forced himself to forget about those thoughts, "I'll talk about it when I'm ready."

"Ok, but I still want to know one thing."

"Alright…"

"Are you and Gon both comfortable with whatever you're doing. I don't mind who the initiator of these… acts are. I just want to know if you're both on board with it."

Gon is more than on board with it… "Yes… I'm ok with it. Gon is definitely ok with it…"

Iason thought about the scenario some more. Was Gon really ok with it, or is he more going with the flow? Something about his boyfriend's story wasn't adding up now that he thought about it. How Gon seems to react with him during those moments is with a 'curious' kind of attitude.

If they were… going to have sex, how will Gon react to the scenario? His thoughts continued to linger, spiralling down into the worst case scenario. Just when he thought he'd never stop thinking about it, Sakura gave his hands a gentle squeeze, followed by a hug with one hand against his back and other rubbing circles along the small of his back.

He was being comforted by Sakura, just like he had done so for his partner after Sakura had revealed his biggest fears.

Iason clutched Sakura's frilly shirt, really thinking about whether or not he should tell Sakura. He wants to be with Gon, more than just intimately… but at the same time, what if Gon isn't mentally ready to experience that part of life?

Somehow, a small part of him started to reject the idea that he wasn't ready to talk to Sakura about this. If he opened up a little, he'll be able to understand the situation a little better. Letting go of the boy's shirt, he stood up straight, "Actually… it is ok if we talk about what I did with Gon? Not everything… just a few things."

Iason took a deep breath, his eyes lingering on Sakura's for any hints of betrayal or sadness, "It's about what I did with Gon that evening… while we were fishing. I… we were in the right mood to be considered frisky, so I kind of… sat in his lap and… well, he dry-humped me for a little bit."

Sakura tilted his head slightly, a little confused about the discussion. What exactly did Iason mean by dry humping? "What you mean…?"

"Ah…" I can't believe I'm about to make this comparison, "you remember how in the hot spring I wrapped my legs around Gon as we kissed?"

"Yeah…?"

"Similar to that, except we had our clothes on, and I was on top of Gon rubbing my lower backside against his… erection."

"Ahh…" Sakura hummed, his eyes being diverted from Iason's. He gets the picture, and honestly, he is a little bit jealous of Iason being so forward with Gon, but he's a little worried about how Iason phrased it. Iason sounds as if he regrets his action, but Gon as he was about to blurt out to Daniel and Killua, didn't sound like he regrets any of it, "Are you sure, you were both into it?"

"I believe so…" At the time, he felt like they were both in the right mood. Even though it was him that initiated the scene, Gon was more than happy to go with the flow. If anything, like Gon's reaction to anything new, he was trying to match Iason's movements. He wanted to learn more, and if he didn't stop himself, they would've done more.

Sakura turned back to Iason, offering the boy a sincere smile. He was happy for Iason to pursue this part of the relationship with Gon, as long as neither of them regrets any of their actions, "Then you should continue to do it…"

He honestly doesn't regret dry humping Gon, "That's the problem…" Iason's more worried about what his partner would do with that new information. He doesn't believe Gon would ever do anything to hurt Sakura, he just knows that if Sakura isn't prepared properly, their boyfriend's smile would only make his mind blank… the perfect moment, that will ultimately end up getting the boy hurt.

Sakura leaned forward, pulling his partner in for another hug. He wants Iason to feel comfortable talking about this, not to be worried or upset by his actions, "talk to me… tell me why you're upset or worried about your actions."

"I…" Iason leaned into Sakura's touch, this was his problem; the touching aspect makes him want to do more than to just hold someone close. With Gon, the desire was only stronger "I'm not upset… mainly worried about…" Iason stopped himself from speaking his mind there. He didn't want to push that sort of narrative on Sakura, "I don't want to teach Gon something accidentally, only to have him try that idea with you. I'm not even sure…"

Sakura didn't like how Iason cut himself off there, but this is something weighing heavily on the boy's mind, "How about this… how about you limit your interactions with Gon that cause these feelings?"

"This is Gon we're talking about… he shows his feelings like a badge of honour." I really like that about him, and having Gon express his feelings for me, make me want to give every part of myself to him. I really want to… "There's no way I can go a whole day without being kissed or hugged by him."

Sakura now understood the graveness of the situation, by being touched or receiving affection by Gon, these troubling thoughts on Iason's mind escalate. He doesn't want Iason to hold back his feelings for Gon, but at the same time, it's so sweet of Iason to worry about him first, rather than his own feelings on the matter. Although, telling Iason about his own feelings, was a struggle on in its own…

Sakura shifted his fingertips along Iason's cheeks, wanting to display a little of his own feelings on the matter, "What do you want to do…?"

"Speaking realistically, I want to experience something like what happened at the hot spring, to have Gon on top of me, kissing me everywhere, to squeeze his ass cheeks. I really, REALLY want to have sex with Gon! I-" Iason froze at his own words… he didn't realise he was so pent up with these feelings, that they had come flooding forth like a tidal wave of raw emotions. Still, he needed to apologize with Sakura, he shouldn't be dumping all this on his partner. In all honesty, if someone deserved to get to be with Gon during his first time… it was Sakura.

Sakura has been with Gon far longer than Iason has known either of them, "I'm sorry… I said too much."

"It's ok…" Sakura coaxed Iason into looking at him. He wasn't expecting that kind of response from his partner at all, but he feels for the boy. He wants to help him somehow overcome these feelings of 'want and need'.

When Sakura held the boy's gaze, he spoke "Ok, how about this. At night, if being touched by Gon causes these struggles, I'll make sure that you're always behind me so that Gon can't snuggle with you. During the day, if Gon makes a move on you, I'll try to steer him away or pull his attention to me, as long as I'm in the room… How's that sound to you?"

Iason offered a quiet nod; he was at a loss for words. In all honesty, what Sakura was doing now, was the very reason these feelings had gotten stronger for Gon, although in a different way. Sakura makes him feel safe… Gon, however, wanted to make him happy…

They couldn't keep this up forever, Gon will get suspicious. He knows the boy would start to worry about him if he distances himself too much. A week is all he really needs, less if he could build up the courage to tell his brother the truth.

He's in love with Gon… He's in love with Sakura, and while that is hard to say out loud… he couldn't live without either of them now. He doesn't want to build a relationship between the three of them, if, one of his actions is going to get one of them hurt.

Iason offered a small smile, hoping that was enough to ease Sakura's mind a little "Good…"

"Good!" Sakura returned his partner a bigger smile, "I want you to know that whatever you're doing with Gon, as long as your both ok with it, I'll be happy with you continuing to well…" Sakura felt a blush spread across his cheeks, eyes softening at the feelings he was about to admit "have sex with Gon."

Iason blushed a little from Sakura's approval. To hear that his partner was more than ok with him pursuing a sexual relationship with Gon, along with those eyes full of love and affection, really did a number on his mentally "Thank you…"

Sakura kissed the boy on the cheek before addressing the main issue, "So, what's our plan? Both of you are interested in… sex, I'm learning about Nen, and bottling up your feelings is not really good for you. Keeping Leorio in the dark about your feelings for us isn't good either; you should speak to him as well."

"I'll help Gon learn a little about… this topic. Then, I guess there's no running away from this… We'll talk to my brother. If he's unwilling to talk about sex with Gon, I'll have this discussion with Gon."

You really thought about this… Sakura's expression softened slightly, he can't fault Iason for having these feelings. Maybe, if he had the boy's understanding of the topic as his partner did, he was sure he'd feel the same way.

It was hard to explain, but sometimes he'd want more than to be kissed by Gon. He just doesn't know in what way… But some of the things Iason admitted during his confession were things he wouldn't mind being done to him, mainly 'being kissing everywhere', but he wouldn't mind if it was Gon or Iason performing the act… "That sounds like a great plan. But, if it gets too much for you to handle emotionally, please pull me aside. I don't want you to hold in everything, just to make sure I'm protected from Gon's… Well, I want to try something new attitude. He would never do anything to hurt any of us…"

Not if he's smiling brightly… we'll give in so easily… "I will…" With that, Iason pulled himself into Sakura's chest, savouring the feeling of comfort the boy provides.

Sakura felt his cheeks warm, his own arms reaching around the boy to pull him in closer. With one hand like Gon would do for him, he traced his fingers through his partner's hair. Hopefully, this action is making Iason feel comforted.

Iason sighed at the sensation. He really needs to do this, not only for himself but for Gon and Sakura as well. He wants to continue this relationship with the two of them, so Leorio should be able to look past the fact that Iason is his brother, and Gon and Sakura are his friends.

"~"

There was a shift in the bed, Daniel draping his arm around his boyfriend's leg as his head snuggled into the boy's tummy. Even with abs of steel, Daniel always found his partner's stomach to be soft like a pillow.

Killua, however, didn't find that compliment amusing. He sifted through the documents, trying to ignore the fact that Daniel was rubbing his head against his chest like he was trying to get comfortable. He was acting like a cat seeking attention at this point.

If weren't for Daniel for getting away with his lie to Alluka, Killua wouldn't have allowed his partner to continue rubbing his body all over him like he was scenting him, making sure that others know that he belongs to him.

While it would be humorous to see others being repelled via scent, in actuality, Daniel would only end up smelling more like him. He was the one, after all, who used a fragrance scented body wash.

In his previous line of work, it would have been a no-no, as targets might end up smelling him somehow. But here, just being himself, he preferred it over smelling like nothing at all.

Then again… the thought of Daniel wanting smell like him, just so others know who he belonged to would be considered a turn on. Killua curled out a hand, letting it glide through his partner's hair as he smiled. Yup, I have become a perv… with some weird ass kinks.

Shaking his head, the boy thought about the incident earlier, how Daniel spun a web of lies that held part of the truth between the lines. He could still remember his creative partner's lie…

Sorry, Alluka… Killua was in the shower and when I went over to talk to him, he had his back turned to me. So, me being the wonderful boyfriend, I thought it would have been sweet to give him a surprise embrace, instead… What I got sprayed by Killua. I was soaked from head to chest thanks to him…

I kinda forgot about what I promised you because I had to take off my now wet clothes and join Killua in the shower. We kissed, hugged, I professed my love for your brother, he got flustered and then… after the shower, I remembered to tell him about how we missed him.

A small smile curved along his lips at the memory. If being cheesy was a language, Daniel was quite fluent in it. He'd savour the moments as they came, enjoying the comfort and semblance they provided.

"Hey, can I asked you a question…?"

Killua raised an eyebrow at his partner's request, not sure where he was going with his by his tone, "Sure, go ahead…" The boy was calm, trying not to act too interested just in case it backfires.

"It's about what we did this afternoon…"

Killua put the pages back into the folder with a sigh, his eyes now lingering on the boy who continued to rest his head on his chest. Hopefully, this wasn't about what he said during the act, "Look, we can take it as step-by-step… anything you don't-"

"It's not about that…" Daniel sighed into the boy's chest, his breath tickling the boy's skin, "It's about the things that happened during our act. I don't regret it; I just have a few questions about those events…"

"Sure, although it's a little late to be having the talk."

As Daniel got up, his partner removed his hand from his hair. The two of them looked into each other's eyes, Daniel once more continuing with his train of thoughts "When I tried to jerk you off, you stopped me. Now, I can kinda understand why you did it after you well…"

"Came?"

"Yeah, how did you know you could cum like that?"

"I didn't, well… not exactly… So, do you know about the male prostate?"

"No…" Daniel shook his head, which earned a bemused smile from his partner, "Oh, so we're going to have this kind of talk. Well, to make it simple it's a pleasurable spot that could be reached in two different ways. The first is along the outside, just after your scrotum, your nut sacks if you like… It's harder to do this way, especially if you don't know what you're doing."

Killua flicked out a hand, "The other is through your anus… If you can press against it, or massage it in just the right way you can achieve a climax. Sometimes it can be even better than you know… getting a blow or hand job. Actually, hitting that spot during those two can increase the pleasure. Granted, it really depends on the person… I liked it, and I really wouldn't mind doing it again."

"Oh…"

"What else would you like to know?"

"Well, that clear liquid we were both leaking… what was it?"

"Precum or pre-ejaculate, if we're going to get technical, is clear liquid that comes out the more sexually aroused we get. It can act as a sort of lube, but its main focus is to make sure, you know… to clear out the urethra of any contaminants that may disrupt our… cum from getting a girl pregnant. I think your situation might be a rare case… but just in case, there might be dudes out there who can also get knocked up."

"What did it feel like… to get fingered?"

Killua frowned, "I just said I liked it…"

"No…" Daniel shook his head as he leaned forward, "what did it feel like for you? If we're going to continue to do these things, I don't want to be surprised every time. You know I'm…"

"Scared? Turned on…? Struggling to understand these things?"

"All of the above…"

"Alright, well it's kinda hard to explain, but if I had to put it into words you'd understand… The first finger feels weird at first, two fingers can feel nice if you do it right. It's all about precision really. Anyways, it's like the moment you hit this spot, you feel this intense sensation. The more you press on that spot, the more you desire it; in your case, it would make you want to kiss me… For me, getting to experience those desires, it makes everything feels right, like a jigsaw that clicks into place. When I achieved my orgasm, I wouldn't exactly say I saw stars… but it felt right, intense… kind of perfect."

"So, would you like to do that with me as well…?"

FUCK, YES! "Only if you want to, or when it feels right for you."

Daniel's eyes narrowed slightly, he had a feeling Killua was keeping something from him, it was the way his aura flickered for a moment as if giving away his true feelings on the matter.

Killua rolled his eyes at the boy's reaction, "Alright, yes I want to do that with you… but I also only want to do it, when you are ready to do it. I've been with you long enough to know when you aren't ready for something like this… at least mentally."

"Alright…" Daniel side-eyed the boy for a moment, really, he preferred it when Killua was more honest about his feelings, no matter if it scared Daniel personally. He felt as though with every confession, he got a little more comfortable with Killua. Once more, the boy rested his head on his partner's stomach, "When will you know I'm ready?"

"Simple, you'd want it without second-guessing yourself…" Killua hummed as he caressed his partner's hair, fondling the few strands that stuck out. He loved how Daniel shivered at the touch, soaking in those words before responding, "If it's any consultation… I think my body is more than ready."

Killua chuckled, "I appreciate that…" Although, that's not really good for me if your body craves my dick, but… you're scared of the outcome of said desires, "That's no good if your mind isn't there as well. Like you say… one-step at a time. I'm in absolutely no hurry to smack that ass until it jiggles like jelly."

"Thank you…" Daniel hid his face in Killua's lap, cheeks burning at the example given to him by Killua, "Such a kind example."

"No problems…" Killua reached out to grab the folder, only to stop and look down at Daniel, "You do realise the last part was a joke, right?"

"I know…" Daniel let out a sigh, a small smile forming from the kindness of Killua's other words, "I know…"

Killua brought the folder back up, opening it once more where he left off.

The boy flipped another page, eyes widening at his findings. There laid bare to him was an old worn photo of Vastorie, when he was at least around the age of twelve. He looked so close to Daniel, except his eyes were dull, bored, unlike his son's, who was vibrant and full of life.

When he pulled out the photo, he flipped the image over. Ercole Tempest… The boy quickly looked over the list of names who were paid by Hinrick, there was Vastorie's alias, written as plain as day.

It seems like Vastorie is keeping secrets of his own; he was on Hinrick's payroll when he was a child…? What was he doing back then? Killua scanned the list of jobs given to Ercole, only to stop at one name, in particular, Xavier Griffith…

Was Xavier Griffith working for Hinrick as well? Killua followed the review left behind by Vastorie. The man is trying to uncover secrets in biology that could further defeat viruses and diseases. Some of Hinrick's clients were concerned about losing their funding if details of his project came to life…

Target was taken care of while he was in his office; one of the poisons the man had in stock was used to make him look like he died of exhaustion. Due to how the poison, it was flushed through his system before others could find out the cause of death.

"Daniel… Not only was your father at some stage working for Hinrick as a paid assassin, your dad was assigned to kill Xavier Griffith at the age of twelve!"

Daniel bit his lip at the news, did Eifion know about this? What did this mean for their safety if the man found out… would he cast them aside, or continue to help them?

Killua continued to flip through the pages, hoping to uncover more about the deed, but it only lists the tasks, payout and reviews left behind by some of his clients, being performed at Hinrick's request. There were even a few jobs listed under Illumi and his father's name as well. What was going on? How did the man fly under the radar for so long without anyone figuring out what kind of monster this man was…?

Killua quickly closed the folder once more, "We have a lot of researching to do between classes before we have a talk with Eifion. We need to pry him for some of this information, to see if he knows about this too… If he's already aware, we should get Eifion's side of the story…"

"And if he doesn't know…?"

"We'll find out how he met Vastorie…"
