Daniel and Killua spend time reminiscing about past events, recalling how much has changed since then.
Killua idly flipped through the pages, mundane words getting lost in the recesses of his mind. He never knew how boring it could've been, forced to read a book he could've easily read as a baby.
But unfortunately, it was a part of his class studies, and writing "It's boring" wasn't much of a book report, at least one that puts him ahead in class. They should've skipped more levels at the start.
The least go for Grade 8 or above classes, and not start at Grade 6. It felt like being stuck in a time loop of infinite boredom. The boy shifted, laying flatly against the couch, a bag of chocolates opened on the floor.
He snuck one into his mouth, chewing slowly as he continued to scan for keywords, something that would allow him to write a report that would blow the teacher's mind, without having to read the entire book.
Killua felt a weight lay on top of him, arms curling around his body in a warm hug. Even without having to look, he knew who exactly it was. It wasn't just a difference in weight, when it came to those who were attempting to use him like a pillow.
But when it came to "hugging", there was a huge difference. Alluka's arms would always go around his neck, aiming for height over comfort; even though she always aimed to rest her head in the crane of his neck.
Alluka enjoyed the sensation of being held up by her brother, high enough so her feet didn't touch the floor.
Daniel on the other hand, always hugged him around the waist; like Alluka, he'd also rest his head on his shoulder, right in the crane of his neck. But unlike Alluka, it was always followed by a kiss or three.
He could feel the Daniel's warmth, the boy's aura emanating his feelings like luminous beacon.
"What you reading?"
Killua hummed at the question, eyes still otherwise glued to the page, "It's about the book we have to write our report on. You know the one about how the kid's ID stops working, and now he can't do shit. He's virtually incognito because of the moronic system."
"Oh, yeah… that one; I already did the report…"
"So, you wouldn't mind me, perusing your report. Hmm?" Killua turned slightly, flaunting his best puppy eyes expression. He was hoping Daniel would fall victim to his innocent charm, to be able to get out of the "book report".
It was super ineffective.
"Nope, read it, and write your own take on it."
Killua pouted, turning back to the book he was hoping to escape from "It's boring though…"
Daniel refused to move from his position, shrugging off Killua's attempt to charm him "Sorry, I'm comfortable right here."
Killua groaned, now reaching for another chocolate to pop into his mouth. He chewed as he continued reading, more focused on the soft breathing coming from the boy on his back rather than the blurry words.
He really loves the attention, able to recall all the finer details from the boy's hugs. It felt so warm, needy, the way he was being held. Daniel craves his attention like Gon, but there was a difference with their habits.
Gon was cheerful and bright, Daniel was comforting and affectionate. He liked Daniel's delivery, how his aura would circulate his emotions. Sometimes he would feel a desire for more, but those were few and far between.
His partner didn't really know how he was doing it; it was a natural instinct for Daniel. It was the same for the boy's earlier affections, how he'd display those raw emotions so easily that those who could use Gyo could see the thin line of aura connecting the two like a red string of fate.
Everyone pointed it out, and Daniel never once noticed it, until it was being pointed out constantly, pressed by those who wanted answers.
Even now, Killua had grown so accustomed to its natural state, it had stopped bothering him. He will admit to himself though, that now he actually likes the sensations that wraps around him at times. It was like a warm blanket in the middle of winter.
All he needed was a hot cup of chocolate; he then could sit in the boy's lap for hours. Although, he would never admit that out loud; it was way too much ammo for his partner to use, especially if Daniel was going to be cheesy.
Killua smiled at the thought, popping another chocolate into his mouth before reading on.
Daniel watched Killua with fascination, taking note of every action the boy made. The way he was grabbing chocolates from time to time, the slow chewing; the way he flipped through the pages…
The gentle lingering scent of soap Killua uses, watermelon and lemonade this time. It all paints a picture, one he's unable to shy away from.
He would draw the scene; even write about it. But that would require him to get up from his spot. He didn't really want to do that right now, so he continued to lay his head on his boyfriend back, savouring the sensations it brought him.
The situation made him remember about something unrelated, back when they first visited Yorknew in preparation for the Southernpiece Auction. It was the moment Killua snuck onto the "adult" channel, to watch porn, even though his friends were in the room.
He remembers Killua inviting them to watch, which now reminded him, if Gon were to take him up on that deal, that would've been the boy's first viewing of sexual activity. He was glad Gon didn't sit to watch with Killua that time…
If their friend did, Daniel would've never had the courage to wrap his arms around Killua, to join the boy watching sexual activities…
Looking back on it, he had feelings for his partner back then. The warmth it provides… How everything just clicks into place when their near each other.
He craved it at the time; he just didn't understand what it was. But now he does… He knows how to reciprocate those feelings…
What Killua's likes and dislikes were; to pull all these emotions he craves. How to tease him, please him, make him happy… to piss him off.
As Killua pressed a chocolate to his lips, Daniel thought of a nefarious idea. He swiped the chocolate from the boy's mouth, before Killua had a chance to bite into it.
"HEY?!"
Daniel rolled off the boy, pressing the chocolate into his own mouth with smug satisfaction. He watched Killua's expression change from displeasure to horror as Daniel took a single bite, splitting the chocolate ball in two. He made sure to pucker his lips, giving the boy a teasing kissy face that was sure to earn a reaction.
Killua shot the boy an intense glare, his book report no longer of interest, "I was about to eat that!"
"Come and get it…" Daniel chuckled with his mouth still full. He was able to taste the biscuit crumble wrapped in chocolate as it rolled around his squirrel cheeks. He likes the texture, and really didn't want to give up the chocolate, but he knew it was Killua's favourite.
The boy would murder an entire nation for ChocoRobo-Kun chocolate balls, but Daniel felt he could get away from Killua's fury. Or so he thought…
Killua leaped from the couch, pinning his partner to the floor. His eyes filled with something other than rage right now. He leaned closer to the boy, offering a wicked smirk before pressing his lips against Daniel's.
With a quick swipe of his tongue, before Daniel knew what had happened; the boy stole a piece of chocolate, happily chewing the somewhat melted piece within his lips. But to the boy's horror, before he could dive down for the other piece, Daniel chewed the other half.
That was supposed to be his chocolate, and Daniel had stolen a piece, half a piece he was unable to recover.
Daniel flicked an index finger out, calling his ability to steal another chocolate from the bag.
Killua's expression twisted into shock as he watched Daniel's shadowy hand flick a piece in their direction.
The boy let go of his partner's hand, reaching out to grab the piece. But Daniel used his ability once more, changing the trajectory of the shot. He flicked the ball downward, the boy catching once more in his opened mouth.
But this time he didn't chew it… he kept it inside.
When Killua saw Daniel's lips purse for another kiss, the boy's cheeks ballooned from the chocolate, he frowned; his boyfriend was egging him on. Killua bent down, intending to steal the chocolate back before Daniel could even think to chew it, but the boy surprised him.
Daniel gripped his partner's head, pulling the boy down for a kiss. He pushing the chocolate out into awaiting boy's lips, a peace offering to hopefully please the one he loves the most.
Killua happily chewed the offering given onto him. In return, he gave his partner what he wanted in return, a passionate kiss which spurred one another to reciprocate.
Killua expertly dragged his fingers down the side of his boyfriend's face, a hungry kiss fuelled by the sharing of a single chocolate. Daniel flicked out his index finger once more, drawing upon his ability to pull the bag closer to them.
When it was close enough for Killua to grab another, he pulled his hands back up, hugging the boy as their passion for the other grew. Daniel reached for a chocolate, using one to poke his boyfriend in the cheek with it.
The boy pulled away, turning to face the object he was being poked with. He graciously took the chocolate in his mouth, munching on it with a pleased expression. He could so get used to being fed chocolates all day long.
Daniel fed Killua another right after, enjoying Killua's expression. He was making his partner happy, and all he really had to do was keep giving the chocolates Killua had brought earlier.
"You know…" Killua licked his lips in an alluring manner, playing his seductive card in a style he knows can appease his boyfriend, "if you keep this up, I might be walking funny for a week."
"Fat chance…" Daniel ran his fingers through Killua's hair, "I would never rough you up like that."
Killua let out a loud, gargled groan; he has never felt as frustrated as he did now "I was trying to be… you know, e-ro-tic…"
"Oh… OH…" Daniel made a sad face, apologising for the mistake, "I…" The boy brought his lips to Killua's neck, peppering small kisses along the skin all the way his boyfriend's shoulder as an apology. He stopped to press one final kiss to the clavicle.
Looking up to meet his partner's eyes, he pulled away, "I'll make it up to you…"
Killua's cheeks were flushed from Daniel's intimate actions, eyes unable to meet his partner's. He couldn't believe the boy was being sappy right now.
Daniel stroked the boy's cheeks, offering a whisper that would hopefully please his partner's ears "How about you ignore that book, so that we can continue this in the bedroom…"
Killua's eyes lit up, "Definitely…" He quickly swiped the bag of chocolates before grabbing Daniel's hand, dragging the boy to their room, the book still on the floor, long forgotten "Twice, so you better last…" He offered his partner a cheeky grin, smiling ever so slightly from what was about to transpire in their room.
