Daniel discusses what transpired the previous night while his partner was drunk.
A\N: A little short, but I like how it turned out. :)
When Killua woke, he found himself in a cold, empty bed a throbbing headache kicked in when he tried to get up. It hurt to think about it, what caused it in the first place. He tried to recall what happened last night, but the last thing he could remember was arguing about something with Daniel.
He didn't think it was a bad argument, at least from what he could recall. Everything he remembered up to that point, made him believe it was just a mild argument.
However, that wouldn't explain why he woke up cold and alone. He misses his partner already, even though he knows that one, the boy was most likely outside their bedroom and two, considering they had been at the party long into the dead of night, trying to find their culprit, it hadn't been that long since he last saw his partner.
The headache wasn't helping these thoughts, since, it was driving him crazy. Killua eventually sat up, clutching his head for a while. Being alone and left to his thoughts while the throbbing continued, made it feel like an eternity was going by as he pieced together last night's events.
Daniel eventually came back into the room, taking note of Killua sitting up as he clutched his head. Eifion was right, Killua would be up after resting for a few hours… he just wished he knew how long his partner was up, or that he showed up sooner so Killua hadn't woken up likely confused and alone "Oh, you're up…? How… are you feeling?"
"My head is killing me…" Killua removed his hand as he turned to look up to his partner, only to have the throbbing pain return, forcing him to bring his hand back up to his head. But rather than clutching his face, he clutched his forehead in pain, "What happened last night?"
"Many things…" Daniel walked over to the bed, sitting beside Killua. He took empty the cup, filling it with water. He only knew to prepare it for his partner in advance because it was one of the things Eifion suggested to him. This was the first time he would be dealing with a hungover Killua. He wouldn't be surprised if he must deal with this situation again.
But given Killua's immunity, including, the number of drinks he was hammering down with no negative aftereffects, for the moment… this should be the only time it should affect him.
Offering the cup to his partner with an apologetic smile, he hoped that this will be the only time he has to deal with such a situation. He never liked seeing his friends in pain, but seeing Killua groaning and clutching his forehead in agony… he hopes he'll never have to see this kind of situation again "Here, have some water… too bad I can't offer medication for that throbbing headache of yours."
Killua took the water from his partner's hands, downing it in one gulp. He gave it back to his partner, who promptly refilled the cup before offering it to him again.
The boy took the cup again, this time sipping at its contents slower. Whatever happened last night after their argument, left him with a sore and dry throat, "What happened last night…?"
"What do you remember, because you might not like the blanks I'll have to fill."
"Well, the last thing I remember is arguing that I could drink something with no repercussions afterwards." Killua groaned as he pressed a hand to his forehead, "I guess I was wrong…"
"Oh, believe me when I say this…" Daniel ran his hand through his partner's hair, hoping it'll soothe the boy's headache, "there were many issues afterwards… a lot of things you probably don't want to hear right now."
Killua groaned loudly as he fell backwards dramatically, his head hitting the pillow with a quiet 'paff'. Daniel would probably be right, but given the fact that his splitting headache won't be making it easier, he still needs to know what happened "How bad are we talking…?"
"You offered to fuck me with a crowd…" Daniel stated with a straight face, even when he should be mortified at himself for saying it that way "Also, you told me… Come on baby… come ride the Killua train… all aboard, choo-choo… In front of Eifion."
The groan that Killua let out said it all. He did not want to hear anymore. Unfortunately, he knew that he'll need to hear the rest of what happened that night.
"Granted, most of them were drunk and wouldn't have cared… but you still offered in an uncaring, proud manner." He should've sugar-coated those two examples for his partner, but Killua would rather hear how it happened, not to have it wrapped up in niceties.
Killua groaned even louder this time, turning away from his partner to hide his face from the onslaught of embarrassing stories he was about to hear. He took another sip of water, hoping that there's nothing worse than that to come "spare me from no details."
Daniel went on to relay every that happened before he knocked out his partner, sparing him from none of the details. Even though the boy groaned at every terrible outcome. He listened without complaint, refusing to cover his ears just in case he missed something important.
"At that point, I had to knock you out…"
"I feel terrible…" Killua turned to look in his partner's direction. Everything that could've gone wrong, went wrong after drinking whatever was slipped into the beverage. He was glad he was the one to drink it… not Daniel.
Who knows the kind of effects it could've put his partner through?
He couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of drunk Daniel would've been, let alone him coming onto him, hungry for sexual intercourse. It would've been a huge turn on for him, but just like how Daniel pushed him away… he would've done the same.
But rather than taking Daniel to Eifion, he would've gone straight to the nurse's office, not to the Deacon. At least they could've taken a swab for what he ingested and made sure the boy was being looked after, before reporting their findings to Eifion.
But they work differently…
Daniel was trying to bring his horny ass to Eifion since the man would've been up-to-date with clues of how to deal with the situation. Then again… knowing him, he would've argued with the nurses about things he would rather be sticking in his throat, than having a swab ran over his tongue.
Daniel also ran the risks of having to explain to the nurses why he wouldn't have been affected by any medication they attempted to give him. So, apart from all the embarrassment, he would've gone through… his partner, ultimately, made the best choice within that moment.
"No problems…" Daniel stroked his partner's hair with a smile, he was glad Killua turned out okay. The more water Killua drinks, the more it should help him recover a little quicker "I knew you weren't acting like yourself."
"It doesn't make me feel any better." Killua finished his cup for the second time that morning. Now he could effectively argue he got to experience two types of thirstiness before he was halfway through his day.
After having the empty cup being handed back to him, Daniel refilled it before handing it back to his partner. While his boyfriends drank, he rubbed the boy in a comforting manner, stoking his partner in an effort, to help ease his pain "If you were sober, it would've ended differently."
"But I wasn't… and to make matters worse, I aired our dirty laundry right in front of Eifion, going as far to say you should get on my lap and come ride the Killua train, baby." Killua will never live that down. He even dreads having to meet the man again, because that's the first thing he's gonna remember, is what happened that night.
He'll have to pretend he wasn't this sexually charismatic boy, that got a hard-on every time he was in the same vicinity of his partner. He'll also certainly, need to ignore that he made it seem like he got his rocks off to the prospect of having others watch them during the act.
"Yup… The man took it like a champ. He ignored everything like it never happened…"
"Yeah, until he brought it up again to validate that not only it happened… he was coming to terms with my reaction. There better be good news after this…" He needs some good news, like the culprit's name. He'll smack the person hard, hard enough to give him a splitting headache, exactly like what he had right now.
Apart from his headache getting better the more water he drank; any good news should help ease his terrible situation.
"There is…" Daniel's lips widened into a huge smile, "Eifion narrowed down the list of culprits."
"Good, I wanna punch whoever made this drug…"
"Aaaaand there's the issue." Daniel sighed; he knew Killua would react this way. He was predictable in this sense. However, this bad news wouldn't affect his partner that much… well, it wouldn't turn him into some revenge-seeking maniac that got their rocks off to others suffering "I promised Eifion, that you wouldn't hurt whoever created this drug."
"Damn…" Killua clutched his forehead, "all I wanted to do was smack them hard enough to give them a headache. I guess I'll lose that chance…"
Even though Daniel made the promise with Eifion that he wouldn't say anything about the person's details, that didn't mean he made a promise to keep it hush, hush about any information he learned about the situation. Knowing his partner, he wouldn't say anything personally incriminating, but that also didn't mean it couldn't pry it from his partner's hands either, "So… you probably know some finer details about the person who slipped you this drug."
"Not exactly…" Daniel crossed his arms. He knows what his partner is doing, so he wasn't opposed to the idea of being pressed for information. He was willing to tell Killua everything, but he rather Killua ask for it first, just in case he didn't care "I have the name, of a possible suspect, but no motive… or information on how to find them."
"So… who are they?"
"His name is Simone Malmström, he's seventeen years old. studying Biology and Chemistry. The reason Eifion believes this might be the person who created the drug… was because of his thesis. The guy seems to be working on two main categories: Xavier Griffith's work about the cure-all, and Gene Therapy. It's-"
"I know what that is…" Killua hummed at the facts being presented to him. What Gene Therapy didn't explain, is why the drug worked on him. With an immunity like his, and the aura constantly swirling around him, he should've been immune to whatever he digested… Unless… "We can't use Nen while on these grounds, correct?"
"Yeah…"
"That would've reduced my first line of defence, which means this drug he is working on… has already been perfected to bypass even super soldiers. This could be a problem if he accidentally makes it airborne…"
Daniel's eyes widened in fear. What if Killua was right, that the drug the guy was working on was already this powerful?
Seeing the fear, Killua shifter the argument. Even if he was right, provided, Eifion knows about the situation, he could deal with it before it becomes a huge problem "What about his thesis? What is he working on, exactly?"
"Mental health…"
"Huh…?" The boy stared at his partner in confusion. He wasn't expecting that kind of plot twist, "Then why would it be this dude?"
"Eifion isn't sure, but he has a good motive, which is… drug trialling on school grounds. He could be testing a minor version of his drug in limited conditions, to see the process of how it works … he might be trying to get it working a hundred per cent of the time. As of now, Eifion knows of the cases that were reported… but whose to argue there were situations where it ended positively without any issues."
"Then… someone like me would be the perfect test subject, you mean?"
"If you were a girl… sure."
"Hey, I could be a cute girl…" Daniel burst into laughter as Killua's cheeks flushed red, "I- I- I didn't mean to word it that way."
"It's ok…" Daniel held a hand on top of his partner's head, "You'd be a cute girlfriend, which I'll love no matter your gender."
"That'll make you Bisexual… Not gay…" Killua waved his partner's handoff. Then again, it won't explain why he doesn't look at girls like Gon would… Killua got frustrated at his thoughts, but then Daniel had to make the situation worse, in his own opinion.
"Nah… Just Killua-sexual. The attraction of-"
"Stop being sappy…" Killua covered his partner's mouth, "My brain can only handle so much right now. Sappy isn't one of those things…"
"Aww… but you'll be open to it later?"
"Yeah… Yeah… Sure…" The boy's cheeks remained bright red from his confession, but he still had a few questions on the matter, "So, about Simone, besides drug trialling, what other motives does he have?"
Daniel shrugged, "I'm actually… not sure. Your best bet would be to ask Eifion for the information after he interviews the guy. But I doubt he'll tell us anything…"
Killua sighed in defeat, "I guess that would be a no. Ok… anything else I should know?"
"Yes, actually…" Daniel paused; his expression shifting, displaying the warmth he held in his heart for his partner "I want to talk about some of the things you said last night, or technically… this morning."
The boy didn't groan this time. He sat upright so he'd be able to talk to his partner face-to-face, no matter how embarrassing this topic was about to get. With all things to be considered, they've already talked about this kind of thing before. But now that Killua aired his raunchy thoughts while he was drunk, they'll need to address them, not ignore it.
"So, we've already spoken about this… that it's an option later down the relationship."
"Yeah…" Killua looked over his partner's features, hoping that he'll be out with it, to say he wouldn't mind it sooner. But his thoughts will not match this reality, he knows that… but a small part of him still hopes for that outcome. He wished his dreams will turn out to be true.
The best thing that could happen right now, is for Daniel to admit he'd like that… just like how during their second time he topped his partner, the boy admitted he enjoyed bottoming.
"You also know how I feel about you."
"You don't have to drag your feet… just spit it out… Tell me you won't be comfortable with voyeurism. We've gotten past this… our fantasies should be out in the open… not sugar-coated." Taking a deep breath, he continued "We should continue to be open with each other only, of course. However, we should only act on these desires when we're both into it… not a second before then, understood?"
Daniel gave a nod.
"That being said…" Killua felt cheeky suddenly. Daniel wanted to talk about this for a reason so he should spit out his own, thoughts about the situation too.
"Uh-oh…"
"You're bringing this up for a reason." Pressing a soft finger against his partner's nose, he smiled at the incoming news. Daniel is gonna be a little awkward about this, but he'll probably play it off.
Daniel sighed in defeat, "I was a little… turned on by it."
"Huh…" Killua sat there, stunned by his partner's relevance. He wasn't expecting the conversation to go in a completely different direction, not for his partner to concede to the fact it affected him, positively.
Then again… if this is the case, not only is Daniel following the conditions of what they planned for with each other, he was telling him that he, was in fact, a little turned on by what happened that night. He'll have to listen to the rest of what his partner has to say before he comes to any conclusions…
What this means is that he'll get to have a little more fun with the situation, "Tell me more…" Killua pressed a finger to the underside of his partner's chin, while he used his thumb to tilt his partner's head.
"This is the same problem… with what happened last night…"
"What…?" When he leaned back, Killua reacted in a confused manner. Did Daniel leave out something he did last night? Was it something he said… or the way he said it, that made his partner react in a receptive manner last night? Asking was the only way to find out at this point "What exactly was I doing or saying last night? What made you react positively then… and how is it the same as what is happening right now?"
"The reason I was turned on, was because you were… confidant."
"Aren't I always confidant?" He was bemused at the situation being presented to him. He found out something else that turns his partner on. It was so vanilla of him… yet it fit his partner's personality so well.
He's known for a while his partner has a body worshipping kink, but now knowing it extends to his mentality and not just physical attraction, this opens so many new doors for him to explore.
He'll just have to start the next situation with some verbal confidence and make his partner mushy before anything sexual happens. This will make things more fun for me, he thought with a cheeky grin.
"No, well yes… but this kind of confidence is different… it was… for lack of a better term, intoxicating. You were vocal about your desires, but when you said you like hearing me say your name, I was turned on by the fact, that there was something I do, that you wanted to hear more of…"
Killua pressed a hand to his chin, but hasn't he always been like that, stating the things he likes to here…? Then it hit him. He was usually confident during the act, not before it. He never said those kinds of things before intimacy, only during it…
Daniel certainly had a weird set of kinks, triggers that turn him on. But to each their own, "So, I guess… you prefer I'm open about my desires before we get into the swing of things."
The boy in question gave a nod.
"Then…" Killua down the last of his water before sliding the cup onto the nearest side table. Free to use both of his hands, leaned into his partner, kissing the boy on the lips before pulling him down onto the sheets. The boy snuggled into his partner's chest, like a kitten trying to find the best angle. He wanted to be comfortable. It made him able to smile warmly at the idea, that there was something more he could do, enjoy even…
But first, he wanted to sleep for longer. Even though most of the pain had subsided at this point, he'd still, like the remainder of the throbbing headache… die out. He wanted to be able to think about his new fantasies with a calmer mindset, not to grit his teeth as he thought about the things, he could be doing with his partner right now "I'll use you as my personal pillow…"
"But…"
Killua hushed his partner before he could argue, "I still have a headache, shush."
Daniel was about to pout, but having his partner snuggling into his chest, a relaxing smile gracing his features… it was too endearing to pass up. He won't let this situation pass through his fingers.
So, he curled his fingers through his partner's hair, the boy shuddering from the touch.
If he tried to pull his hand away, Killua will most likely pull it back to his head like a greedy kitten. It'll be cute… but not as sweet as the things his partner will weave for him later. Things will change… they'll progress to something better.
Provided they're willing to depart their thoughts and ideas, the relationship will improve… not regress.
With the way things are moving now, he'll expect a good change in their dynamics, a more confidant Killua approaching the situation from the start, not during their act or before one of them is about to release.
The idea made him blush, but he won't complain when he gets to see this side of Killua come out more often. He'll be able to enjoy it for longer than a few measly minutes, to savour the attention of being pampered like how he does with Killua.
