Gon relays the situation back to Sakura and Iason.

Ashton adds to the deal.

Gon acted quickly, filling out the forms as fast as he could. He couldn't believe the good news. Not only was the room he was originally trying to obtain was freed up, but his partners were also offered a chance to switch to that room. Hearing his partners had happily agreed to the change on his behalf, made him smile brighter that afternoon.

They had officially made him more excited to be there, now that the bed they were getting will be huge enough for them all to cuddle on, without either one being scooted close to the edge.

It usually happened on Queen-size beds, the three of them squished together. It sometimes would happen on a King-size bed, but with a Super King… it should be impossible. Even if all three of them slept like starfish, neither of them should be hanging off.

Carrying the three cards, Gon made his way to their room. The moment he walked into the room, he found Sakura already laying down while Iason was sitting comfortably, the two having a small discussion.

Gon didn't wait, instead opting to run straight into the room before either of them could react to his presence. He tackled his lovers, pulling them in as he giggled like a little toddler having been told the funniest joke.

Rather than the two chastising their partner for the surprise cuddle, the two melted into the touch. Savouring not only the warmth of Gon's bopping chest brought them as he laughed, but the joy he brought as well.

Iason found himself kissing Sakura as they laid on Gon's chest, savouring the moment.

But he didn't get to for long, not once Gon was man-handling him, positioning him so he sat right in his lap. The boy's kiss was quick and short, but it still managed to steal his breath away.

The giddiness of Gon's joy was contagious, as he found himself going in for another kiss, the next one being longer.

When they pulled away, Gon wasted no time kissing Sakura. Even though he hadn't stated why he was this happy, he knew they already knew. He still wanted to state his reason as to why he was so giddy with joy "Thank you, sooo much for accepting the change, I love that you did that for me."

Iason pressed a finger against Gon's chest, "If we hadn't… you would've done so anyway. So, it was better, if we did it on your behalf."

"Ehh…" Gon whined, more pouting from being so predictable, "I'm not that bad…"

Iason shifted in his partner's lap, accidentally giving his partner a stiffy in the process. He ignored it… at least, he tried to ignore the hardening length underneath him "You are our loveable goofball." Placing a quick kiss on the boy's forehead, the act made his partner smile brightly.

Gon then took the moment to pull out the cards, handing one each to his partners, "So we should be able to start hiring and buying stuff. There's just something I need to tell the two of you first…"

"Sure…" Sakura addressed the concern, "what happened?"

"My job here is to deal most likely with a predator that has infested the East part of the Island. It's most likely a sea creature as it doesn't come on land. The problem is nobody knows what it is… the only possible chance to identify it, died while trying to escape from it."

"So, there's an actual reason why the East Underwater Forest is off-limits?"

"Yes!" Gon stated resolutely, "However, given the layout of the Island… it may be able to traverse the whole Island, so we should be extra careful when going exploring underwater."

Iason looked at his partner, "So when in the water, I think we should be together, no going off on your own."

Sakura understood those words were being more directed at him. He was prone to get lost in his surroundings when excited "I understand."

"Anything else we should worry about?" Iason looked back over to Gon.

"Yes… it eats its prey while it's alive. Its bite may be paralytic…"

"That makes me want to go in the water, less…" Sakura frowned, now more terrified to explore the waters that are known for NOT having any predators.

"I'll protect you…" Gon pulled Sakura in closer, before pulling Iason in as well "I'll protect the both of you this whole trip. On my days when I'm on my own, I'll try to gather as much information and see if Kite knows what I'm dealing with. There's another Pro Hunter I'll be working with… a professional deep-sea diver. We'll try to flush it out. And as promised, I'll make sure you get to explore the East Underwater Forest. We're not going back, until, you get to see it…"

Gon stated it in a matter-of-fact attitude, but his feelings were real on the matter. He wanted Sakura to be happy… he wanted Iason to be happy… So, if that meant having to do a boring job before being able to explore that section… he'll be happy to do so.

A small smile cracked along Sakura's lips, happy to hear Gon say that. Even if they do run out of time, he's happy that Gon's trying to do it for his happiness, and not because he was hired to get rid of the predator.

Sakura kissed his partner on the forehead, only to receive a pout in response, "Why are you pouting?"

"Because I have two, perfect, kissable lips…"

Sakura would've shoved the boy off the bed for that comment alone, but he was, unfortunately, pressed against the wall.

If the boy wants to tease him like that, he should be allowed to do the same. But the moment he tried, to fight fire with fire, his voice broke, trembling under the severe pressure he put himself under, "W- W- Well… my forehead kisses are reserved for thankfulness… You have yet to earn a kiss-"

Gon with a cheeky smile pulled Sakura down into a kiss on the lips, his boyfriend's face going through multiple shades of red in a matter of seconds. He then pulled his partner in for another kiss, this time on the neck, laying a few like he was planting seeds in a small garden.

Iason tapped Gon on the shoulder, not because he was feeling left out, but rather for Sakura's sanity, "Gon… our plans. Or do I need to remind you… that you have limited time with us here."

Although Gon didn't want to detach himself, he relented. They could kiss and have sex any time… but the free time they have on Roseara Island was limited. Giving his partner a nod, he tried to pull Iason in for a kiss.

But the boy in response pulled back, wiggling his finger at his boyfriend in retort to his actions, "Ah… Ah… kissing later, planning first."

"A small kiss…?" Gon puckered his lips at his partner.

Iason pouted, "No…"

"Pretty please…" The boy gave his partner big puppy dog eyes, begging for just even the tiniest of kisses, "even a small one…"

"Alright…" Iason relented, "But one more kiss…" He leaned in a little, only to pull back just a fraction, "No tongue… and not a forty-minute breath-stealing kind."

"Okay!" Gon beamed brightly, pulling his partner in for a kiss. It was short, but it left poor Iason craving for another.

Damn it… He always knows how to tease me, with the least amount of lip movement "Tease…" When Gon stuck his tongue out at him, Iason pressed a finger against the boy's nose, the act almost being considered a boop "No… No teasing. We need to figure out how we're going to do this. We have some new things to worry about… not just allocating time and free time."

"I'll be using my free time to try to hunt down the creature… I'll promise to not only check in with you but I'll at least come to join you for dinner."

"Promise…?" Sakura double-checked, not because Gon broke many promises. He didn't… not any more at least. He was honestly, more worried about his partner working while they get to have all the fun.

"I promise…" Gon smiled at his partners, "I won't be alone too. Like I said, I'll be working alongside someone else too."

"That's good…" Iason crossed his arms, "But since you brought it up, it means you also want us to help when we can too."

"Yes…" Gon pointed at Sakura, "You know the Island from your research about the place, would you know anywhere something could hide in the Underwater Forest?"

"That's…" The boy shook his head, "not something I'm good at… sorry."

Iason thought about the situation, going over the map Sakura drew up over his mind, trying to figure out something. Besides the underwater cave system, there were few places something could escape to hunt from and leave without a trace.

"How about you Iason?"

"If it hunts during the night and early morning… it's either going to be a deep-water creature… or it stays under the network of caves… which could be a problem if it's still active during the morning and afternoon… it's just they're not aware of it."

"Alright, I'll let the diver know the next time I see him. But for now…" Gon flashed a huge smile at his lovers, "Let's at least get some swimming gear. There are other things we can do besides talking about this…"

"~"

Ashton led the three teens through the gallery, showing off some of her newer designed clothes. Killua with hands stuffed into his pockets whistled in appreciation. The effort that went into was impressive, it's just nothing was jumping out at him.

Then again… the clothes were mostly designed for a female physique. Maybe she'll show them the designer clothes for men and teens much later, given that they made a deal with her.

That deal may mean wearing clothes that would hide distinguishing features of theirs… or at least the style of clothing they would go for.

Opening a door, Ashton led them into a gallery, glass cases showing off clothes that looked old, but were managed to keep in pristine quality, "There is for more of my famous work… milestones, if you will." The woman stopped at a purple dress, like her own, but vastly different.

Rather than glitter, there were different shades of pearls stitched into the clothing like tiny gemstones, giving it a mirage look, like a faint glow. Killua leaned a little closer to the glass, eyes looking directly at the plaque connected to the dress, "It was an award dress… Nineteen-Ninety-One for… best costume design. From a movie?"

"No, a play actually… it was for a Romeo and Juliet theatre show. They wanted something that popped out… eye-catching. The crowd was drawn to her like a beacon of light. With their type of lighting, it gave her a shimmering look…"

The woman found herself sighing, "It, unfortunately, drew the ire of the man who was playing Romeo… it was supposed to be his big hit, his blow-up into stardom…" Her smile faltered a little, "I gave him an apology present… he ended ripping it to shreds out of anger."

"He's a dick…" Alluka muttered loudly, by accident.

Killua pointed a finger at his little sister, "Language, sis…"

"You say that as though you, weren't the one I learned that from."

Daniel chuckled at the backhand insult his partner received, "She has you there…"

Ashton moved along before she'll have to wash everyone's mouth out with soap, "Now onto the main piece… the one you're looking for." She pulled everyone towards the glass case holding a very old-style suit.

It was an open style black jacket, hanging over a bright coloured red vest. Three distinct buttons were sewn into the jacket, nowhere to button them to. The inside was made from a kind of silky fabric, a dark red colour that shined under the tiniest manipulation of light. The bottom of the sleeves ended on frilly, folded-over cuffs; the frills having been stitched on the inside.

Like the design of the cuffs and inside of the jacket, the pants were made with the same pattern. To Daniel's eyes, it was beautifully designed… he could see himself wearing something similar "I'd wear that…"

This made his stomach sink, having found himself finding similar tastes with his father's choices.

"I'd hope not…" Ashton pointed to the cuffs, "see the stitching on those… it went over the fabric, meaning the design on the outside was messed with. TO make matters worse, the jacket was unbuttonable, meaning you'd have to look at that hideous, bright red vest… AND, to top it all off, you'll notice I messed up the pants. There were a few over stitched places, marks that ruined the clothing piece…"

Daniel gave a nod, "The red vest could be dropped a few shades darker… but I could still see myself wearing something similar."

The woman gawked in response, unsure how to react, "Your father and yourself must share similar tastes…"

"I guess so… but at least I'd wear something without hundreds of buttons and zips to do up…"

"Touché…" She looked over the suit one last time, "He does have a need… to wear stuff that not only looks uncomfortable, but almost impossible to remove." It's like he's trying to hide, himself, behind extravagant clothing…

"Ashton?" Daniel asked, hoping to prod her about what made her so quiet.

"Oh, it's nothing important… I just… miss having free time to make something I'm interested in making, rather than be buried behind work… that's all." Shifting her attention, she pointed to another case, "Let's keep going. Hopefully, Leo will eventually come out of hiding. Last I heard of him… he was apparently in this room."

Her eyes flicked in a certain direction, spotting the mop of hair belonging to Leo. As much as she'd love to call him out on his terrible hiding skills, maybe she could entice him out of hiding.

"So, Alluka… any type of clothing you find appealing? As in style…"

"Well…" Alluka turned towards the section they came from, "I liked the pretty dress you made for the actress playing Juliet."

"What about it you find appealing? If, you don't mind me asking…"

"It's… beautiful I guess."

"Hmm…" Ashton crossed her arms, "try to be more precise. If I were to make that dress for you, in your size… what would you change?"

"Maybe the gems… Could you make it with more… flowy fabric… like the same effect, but softer material?"

The woman thought it over, "I've never thought about it… I suppose it's possible. It'll require more work though. It won't radiate like that dress would… but it could pull off the mirage colour well. Something like… an Aurora Borealis. Bright colours would shine, while the dress flows and shifts under the light. Very possible to pull off, hard to maintain without the right lighting."

She gave the girl a quick smile, "But I suppose that's the point of the dress. To show off, under the right audience and mood…"

"The right audience…? The right mood…?"

The woman gave a nod, "A-get-together among close friends… even on a date with someone you want to woo or even mesmerise." She gave a quick wink.

Killua immediately objected, "Not till you're older."

"You're only one year older than me…" Alluka stamped her foot down.

The boy raised an eyebrow at his sister's response, "I still didn't start dating till I was closer to thirteen though."

Daniel waved his partner's response off, "But you still had your first kiss when you were twelve."

Alluka gasped as if something scandalous had come out. However, she already knew about that story. Still, it was used to light a fire in her brother's cheeks.

"B- B- But we didn't start dating till I was closer to thirteen! Besides, I know more about this crazy world than she does…"

The boy mouthed his next few words, never uttering them loudly. But he made sure Killua could read his lips in the process. Says the guy who watched porn in the hotel… His partner's cheeks went several shades darker, "We even watched it together…"

"Have you no shame…"

"Huh…?" Alluka reacted in confusion. She didn't know what Daniel mouthed, but her brother seemed to react in a more discombobulated manner than he had earlier. What exactly, made her brother shift several shades brighter, "What did he say?"

"Nothing…"

Ashton smirked, "I read between the lines… something you best avoid until much later, unlike your little pervy brother."

"I'm no perv!" Killua stated calmly, but his cheeks hadn't helped the situation. Of course, Ashton would be able to read between the lines at the most inconvenient of times, "You…" Killua pointed at Ashton, then at his partner "You… keep that to yourself!" He shifted his feet, walking towards another male clothing piece.

Daniel shrugged in response before joining his partner, giving him an apologetic look. His hand reached out to touch his partner's hand, "I'm sorry for teasing you…"

Just this once, Killua allowed Daniel to grasp his hand within his boyfriends own, "I'm still mad at you for saying it…"

"To be fair…" When Killua gave him a look, the boy changed his tune, "Alright… you're right. That was a backstab kind of response. But it happened and you need to be reminded of it. You had… needs and that was your fix at the time."

"But I didn't do anything…"

"Cause Leorio walked in during the movie…?"

"No, because it would've been weird…"

"Understandable…" Daniel looked at the male clothing piece, "I think you'd look dashing in that."

"Don't try to woo me right now…"

"Alright… Alright…" Daniel waited a few seconds before leaning over, "I still think you'd look dashing in that."

Killua sighed in defeat, cheeks still unable to return to their natural colour, "Let's just… look at something else."

Ashton frowned at the boys going off to do their own thing. But it did leave Alluka and herself to talk a little, "Daniel sure likes to tease your bother a lot."

"He does… but my brother likes the attention… that specific kind of attention." The girl smiled as Daniel pointed at another article of clothing, "He never received that kind of attention outside of our family… just his friends, Gon and Daniel. No matter how much he mutters and complains it's embarrassing… he secretly enjoys it."

"Oh, and you base this off, what…?"

Alluka offered a huge smile, "Because I see his hidden smile… and Daniel sees it too."

Ashton returned her gaze to the boys, now looking at the young white-hair boy. His lips twitched every, now and then. But he didn't seem to be annoyed, at least… not anymore. He was playfully shoving Daniel, the boy laughing in response every time he was shoved back playfully.

"Say… Alluka, earlier I mentioned you should hear others' stories… do you think you'd like to hear another?"

Alluka smiled widely, "Yes, I would…"

"It's a story about a boy finding himself. He's not that much older than you. But I think you'll receive some helpful advice from someone, who came from the opposite direction of you." The woman turned around, facing the location of the boy, who was barely hiding now.

Alluka's gaze followed the older woman's line of sight, falling on a young teen. He looked as though he was desperately trying to fight the need to hide once more.

Ashton gestured her hand to the boy, ushering him to come closer "Come here, Leo… why don't you introduce yourself to Alluka, while I try to keep the other boys entertained."

Leo slowly approached the young girl, a weak smile gracing his face, "Hi… I'm, ahh… Leo. But… you already knew that." He shifted his eyes, unable to look Alluka in hers.

Alluka found herself giggling at the point. Ashton had already stated their name to the other, so there was no point saying it again. But given how Leo was acting, she believes putting herself in a similar position may help ease the awkwardness of the situation, "I'm Alluka, nice to meet you." She held out her hand, offering to shake the boy's hand.

Leo took the girl's hand into his own, giving the younger girl a firm shake.

After seeing the two awkwardly reintroduce themselves, Ashton left to keep the two other boys busy.
