Daniel has a chance meeting with another of the students in Room 205. When he gets back, it seems Killua has been reading something private.

A/N: Sorry about the delay, school holidays, means more shifts for me. :)

Daniel had just gotten back from a long walk, their shopping complete, and his stomach grumbling out of anticipation. He can't wait to get a taste of what Killua plans to cook. But he also got other ingredients for himself. Well, mainly for Killua…

It's been a while since he has baked, and Killua hasn't gotten to try any of his desserts. He may not be able to cook if his life depended on it, but he is a junior Pastry Chef that can make some mean desserts; nothing too fancy though.

Something chocolaty for Killua to wet his appetite. Maybe some scones, muffins or a tiny cake. It's something he enjoys doing. He would even ask Alluka for help, including her would really surprise his boyfriend.

Waking up to two people that adores and loves him, the two smiling as they give Killua chocolate they both prepared for him. The boy was bound to get embarrassed, flushed cheeks as he takes the gift.

If Killua's dreamlike expression shines through after tasting his deserts, Daniel be even happier knowing he was the cause of the expression. Just as he was about to slip through the main entrance, the door was already sliding open.

One of the girls from room 205, met with Daniel's. The two stood awkwardly for a moment. They weren't prepared to be meeting one another, only to be forced to say "bye" as they were clearly going in opposite directions.

The girl happened to be Clarisa Linski, the older sister of Kiel. She was older than Killua and himself. Now that he can see her clearly, she was similar to his height, just a little shorter; around three centimetres shorter.

The girl offered a smile, a finger being pointed at Daniel "Kyle, right?"

"Actually Daniel. Kyle is my p- roommate." He flashed a smile of his own, hoping that she doesn't interrogate him for the accidental slip.

"A lot of shopping for just one person." She looked down at the bag before flicking them back up to meet Daniel's, "shopping for three?"

"Well, he is the designated cook. I'd kill a person with an iron stomach from my cooking."

She chuckled at the joke as she crossed her arms, "It's no big deal if you can't cook. My roommate cooks better than me. She makes it look easy… All I can make is instant noodles."

"At least you can make instant noodles…"

"You can't even follow package instructions. How do you mess that up?"

"I have my ways… like, having the heat accidentally set too high, and for longer than it should be boiling. I'm pretty sure I could cook it to the point it dries out, again…"

"Wow… and I thought I was bad. On the plus side, at least you could try again."

Daniel laughed at the joke, "Touché… Well, in any case I can't complain. His food is to die for, very delicious. As for his sister, she is undeniably cute; a very happy go lucky little sister. I'd wager she can make Mr Scrooge smile."

"Might have to ask your roommate if I can borrow her then. I'm living with little Miss Scrooge. I can't even make her laugh."

"Does she at least share her cooking?"

"Yeah, but a "hello" would be even better. I feel like she's judging me with her icy cold eyes… I want to get to know her, y'know?"

"Same as when I first met Kyle. Except he didn't have, y'know, a judgemental ice-cold look. Mainly I… Actually, I guess you could say I wanted to get to know him better."

"You've been here two weeks, and did all that… forget the sister, I'm gonna borrow you."

"Kyle wasn't that bad though. He makes a great friend, I just had to learn how to open him up."

"Again, two weeks…?"

"I was relentless…"

"So am I!" The girl whined loudly, her noise of complaint sounding similar to a police siren going off.

Daniel forced to hold out his hands as he tried to calm her down. He didn't speak, just listen to her whine.

Once the girl calmed down, she offered a smile once more "Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm picking up my brother. If you see Madelyn walking around, try charm her for me. Get her to open up and let others in…"

"I'm relentless, not a miracle worker; but on the other hand-"

"Oh…?"

He stopped, thinking if this would be ok to mention. Giving away too much would ultimately make her believe he is a miracle worker, or believe he has known "Kyle" for a lot longer than she suspects "Ah, never mind. We'll come over and say hi one day. Will you be staying back for the Christmas Party, or whatever they do for Christmas…?"

"I practically live here, with my brother. So, yes. I will be there, why?"

"No reason… just curious, so I know to plan out in advance. Just in case you aren't here after school finishes."

"What about you?"

"Me, oh? Yeah, turns out Kyle and I are going to be living here for a while."

"Hmm…?"

"He doesn't know how long he's staying here for." He quickly waved off the question, launching into a long tirade, more so about himself; he wanted to hide the truth a little longer "I on the other hand, have a rough estimate. Hoping for at least three years. Turns out my dad knows the Deacon, and I'm supposed to learn something from him. However, I don't intend to waste three years trying to learn about that "something", I still have to study and what not."

"I see…" Her lips quirked upwards slightly, "Well, come say hi anyways. My brother seems to like you somewhat. It's very rare that he ever approaches someone. I think he blamed it on… having this air about you, like your approachable. I can see what he means…"

With a wave, she maneuverer around the boy, "Anyways, I'm off. Bye-bye…"

"Cya…" The boy gave a quick wave of his own. Hopefully he didn't arouse too much suspicion. Although, the statement left him feeling curious. He didn't see himself as having this air about him being approachable.

Maybe she just meant he wasn't acting as though he never wanted to talk to anyone. Maybe she's tried talking to Killua in the last two weeks. Or maybe Killua isn't as anonymous as he was trying to be.

Either way, if she has seen or tried to approach him, maybe she has also seen how Killua looks at him. Does that mean she knows he had just lied through his teeth?

Maybe he should say something to Killua, that both of them should be extra careful.

"~"

Daniel shuffled into the room, about to call out for Killua, but he noticed the white mop of hair poking out from behind the couch. He was clearly focused on something in his hands, as the boy hadn't turned around when the door was unlocked.

He was clearly slacking off with his training, or maybe he was too engrossed with whatever he was looking at. Daniel placed the shopping down in the kitchen, sneaking up to his boyfriend to the best of his ability.

He managed to get right up to his partner. He hadn't turned around or acknowledged that someone was behind him. Strange… Daniel thought. He was so used to being able to only make one step before Killua was already calling him out on it.

When he looked at what Killua was reading, some of it made sense. The boy was reading his journal of all things. The book was filled with scribbles, upon scribbles of text Daniel had personally written, most of it detailing ideas and thoughts on where he can improve on his ability.

All the juicy stuff, the romantic, cheesy poems and ideas were all hidden thanks to the journal's "secret" ability. You're allowed to write stuff that's hidden to everyone but you, but you have to apply the Nen technique In while writing. It's difficult for him to do, but he has managed to find a pattern that allows him to write secrets.

Although, he'd not about to try to apply the same method in mock battles as well. His ability can't really be hidden, but maybe in the future, he could pull it off.

Daniel leaned closer; a crooked smile etched across his face as he was inches away from Killua. Rather than saying something sweet and innocent, he blew a hot breath in Killua's ear.

The boy sat up straight, slamming the book shut as his head snapped in Daniel's direction. The two's noses mushed together, the boy once more reeling in shock, "How did you get so close to me?"

Daniel held out a hand, pointing towards the book, "I don't think I've exactly improved with Zetsu, I just think my journal masked the similarity of my aura, hence why I was able to get that close."

"I- I- I'm not reading your journal!"

With a smile, Daniel flipped the cover over, before pointing at his initials at the bottom right corner of the page "That would be my initials."

"I'm sorry… I-"

Daniel held out a hand to stop Killua, the boy vaulting over the couch to sit next to his partner, "I honestly don't care. What's mine is yours. Though if you were trying to read all my juicy stuff. I keep that hidden…" His smile widened when he saw Killua's flushed cheeks.

"Sorry…"

Daniel kissed his partner on the lips, dragging the two of them down so he was freely able to make out with his partner.

Killua returned the passion, more fiercely than his boyfriend's initiation. Daniel may be able to be cute and passionate, but when it comes to all things sexual, Killua still surpassed him in every angle.

But his mind still had a lingering question, why didn't Daniel exactly care about him reading his journal? Was it because of a "what's mine is yours" mentality? Or was it something else…?

Killua stopped, to look down at his blushing mess of a partner, his chest rising and falling in tantum with his lingering eyes, "Why don't you mind me reading your journal…?"

"Because your tactical, so you might pick up on something I've missed. And because…" He flashed an innocent smile, "I love you…"

"Baka!" Killua got off Daniel, sitting back on the couch as his fingertips drummed against the cover, "that's a stupid reason."

"As stupid as me wanted to continue this in the bedroom?"

"Not as stupid!" Killua dropped the journal on the table, his eyes staring at the book for a second longer "I too… want to continue this, but…" He looked back towards his partner, "did you complete the shopping?"

"Yes?"

"Did you put everything away…?"

"No…"

Killua let out an exaggerated sigh, only to be pulled back into Daniel's waiting arms, "We need to put the stuff away…"

"True, but I wanted to talk to you a little. My journal is not off limits. If you want, you can read it as well, write your own comments or whatever. I don't mind…"

"That's not the point… I wasn't reading it because I wanted spy in your journal, it's that… I wanted to see what kinds of things you write in yours, so I can well… start to use mine. I have one, so why not use it…"

Daniel offered a warm smile in response, his eyes lingering on his boyfriend. Killua hadn't picked up on something he said. He wasn't spying, just reading his journal as a basis for what Killua can write in his journal.

However, Daniel's point still stands. He honestly doesn't care if Killua decides to go through his private journal "Write anything you like. I use mine to mainly put down my thoughts and ideas, what I feel sometimes…"

"You're really bad…"

"How so?"

"Like a stereotypical young teenage girl who writes about her school crushes type of bad."

"Nothing wrong with that… I do have a huge crush on you. But you reciprocate those feelings. Which is why I love kissing you…"

"Like I said…" Killua pushed himself off Daniel, looking away so that he could calm his flushed cheeks, "really bad."

"Speaking of bad…" Daniel hummed, his fingers reaching up to poke Killua's cheeks, "one of our housemates, may have attempted to approach you…"

"Which one?"

"Clarisa, the older sister of Kiel. She may also be suspicious of our friendship, if she has been watching you."

"Huh, why me?" Killua fretted; did he accidentally slip up? Was he acting like a jealous boyfriend when he should be carefully watching his surroundings? He has noticed that his eyes tend to linger on Daniel, a lot longer than they should be doing.

Daniel held a hand to his boyfriend's cheeks once more, stroking the soft skin he wants to pepper kisses along. Killua doesn't need to worry, because he's planning a grand reveal during the Christmas party, as long as Eifion will allow it.

He's gonna make the day so special for Killua, the boy will be blushing for days; Alluka is bound to tease her brother for it.

"Killua, don't freak out. I don't feel like she's the kind of person to spread rumours. Plus, she wants to meet the three of us. So, don't panic… or overthink about my safety. We should be fine, Eifion said he'll take care of us. Not only that…" Daniel leaned forward, pressing his lips against Killua's before pulling back, "I have an amazing boyfriend who's looking after me."

"You're the ultimate sap…"

"I learn from the best!"

"And who might that be, hmm?" Killua teased, his lips ghosting Daniel's. It was a question he wanted to learn the answer to, but he suspected he knew who would be the sappiest in Daniel's family.

"Nathaniel!"

"I thought so… Zaikaria, nor does Vastorie sound like the kind of person to write love letters and sprinkle flower petals on the bed."

"I'm not that bad… Although, now that you said it… I might throw a few flower petals on the bed, light some candles, and lay naked, with nothing but a towel to cover my… extremities."

"If you're trying to be…" Killua looked over to the closed door leading to his sister's room. Hopefully she doesn't walk out when he admits his next thought, "sexy…" The boy turned back around, offering a cheeky smile in response to his example, "you're failing. But…"

Killua brought Daniel's hand to his arousal, showing his boyfriend that he's a little excited from the situation, "I'm open to the possibility of teaching you the ways of teasing."

"It has been a few days…" Daniel thought out loud. He does miss the skin-on-skin contact. But at the same time, he feels bad. He hasn't returned the desire Killua really wanted, for him to be rougher than he would like to be.

But on the other hand, it's something that would make Killua really happy. He'd give in, even if he doesn't like the possibility of accidentally hurting his partner, "Alright, but I should really put the stuff that needs to go in the fridge before we do anything."

"I'll prep!" Killua gestured with a quick wave, "but…" his hand reaching out once more to touch Daniel's chin, "don't keep me waiting…"

Daniel snuck in a quick kiss, "I won't!"

Killua watched his partner walk towards the kitchen, disappearing behind the bench. His eyes shifted back to Daniel's journal, snatching off the table where he originally left it. To think that he might get some even after getting caught reading his partner's journal would seem like a blessing in disguise.

But he can't shake the feeling that if Clarisa has noticed that his attention focuses on Daniel, who else has noticed that his feelings of his partner are more than a simple crush?

He'd have to be careful from now on, to focus more on his surroundings and less on the expressions of the boy who makes him happy.
