Chapter Two – Revelations

(General POV)

The door to the airship opened and the bright sunlight poured in, Gon has made it back to the city where his friend would be waiting. He took a few nervous steps onto the platform before brushing himself off and putting a flat hand above his eyes so he could see properly.

After studying a few signs for a while, Gon decided he would meet Killua at their favourite diner, he knew Killua would think the same so without further delay, he set off. He had already found a table and ordered two milkshakes when the door swung open and Killua was standing there looking around, when he spotted Gon sat at the table, he ran over and jumped into the seat opposite, pushing a standing menu aside to get a better view of his best friend.

A tense moment of silence passed before Gon spoke, "Killua! I've missed you so much, you remembered our favourite place to eat then." Usually Killua would have slapped Gon for being so embarrassing but instead he simply nodded and replied "how could I forget, dummy! You always wanted to eat here" the boys shared a laugh for a moment as they drank their shakes.

(Gon's POV)

"How long can I stall this with small talk" I thought to myself as I sat opposite best friend, trying to work out in my head how I really felt before blurting out with it. Honestly it's the only time I've ever felt like it needs thought, what if he hates me for feeling this way, and how am I even feeling? All these unanswered questions, I started going red in the face, so I kept putting my forehead in my hands and looking at the table to keep his eyes off me.

(Killua's POV)

He's been quiet for a while now, makes a change for Gon, usually he's chatting away like there's no tomorrow. I tilted my head to get a better view of his face and started waving my hand at him, "Gon! Gon! You better not be sleeping!" I waited for him to look up at me and I could see his whole face has turned bright red all of a sudden, is something wrong with him? "He can't be blushing surely" I thought to myself.

(General POV)

Gon looked up and put the palms of his hands down on the table creating a loud thud, drawing some attention from other customers. "Killua! I have something to tell you... And it's gonna sound weird" Gon had started saying when Killua suddenly perked up to listen, now nodding a little as if to urge Gon to continue.

"I think... we should stick together from now on, I can't live without you Killua!" Gon had blurted out this soppy line right over the table causing his best friend's face to plummet into various shades of red. Again, this would have been another one of those moments where Killua would have slapped his friend for being embarrassing but he sat there sort of shocked for a moment, unable to speak, let alone respond to him.

Following a long pause and silence between the pair, Killua spoke in a stammered and shy tone, "w... what do you mean by that, I'm only a phone call away!" he said, making effort to pry more information out of Gon, but he knew somewhat exactly what he meant by that, it was becoming clear where the hotel room suggestion came from.

Gon looked confused for a moment before perking up slightly at his friend's inquisition. "No no! I mean we should be together, for old times' sake, but there is one more thing" he continued, turning a brighter shade of red, looking on as Killua glared at him, pretending to misunderstand.

Killua watched Gon closely, knowing what was coming but not showing his friend that he actually felt the same way towards him but has been denying it for some time in his own mind. Secretly this was like a dream come true for Killua but the young assassin was going to play hard to get, mostly because it gave him a thrill.

Before Gon could say anything else or elaborate further on his feelings in the middle of this populated diner, Killua perked up suddenly and suggested, "Then maybe we should go to the hotel and talk things over Gon, we're attracting lots of attention here".

The two boys looked around the diner for a moment and nodded to each other deciding this was a good idea so they paid for the shakes and set off in the direction of the triple-circle, a lovely place that brought back memories of their time fighting the Chimera Ants and everything that happened to Kite.

After flashing their Hunter licenses, the two went to their room, Killua had requested a room with one bed, and Gon wasn't expecting this so he sat down and looked around before lifting his chin and tilting his head strangely at Killua "hey, there's only one bed in here!" Killua beamed back at Gon and nodded, "yes, we're sleeping in the same bed tonight aren't we?"

This sudden bombshell from Killua shocked Gon and he turned a bright red in the face, unable to hold in his feelings any longer "y-yes.. uhm, Killua?" Gon started, now slightly covering his face with his hands. "Yes, Gon what is it?" Killua replied, glancing over at his best friend who looked beyond embarrassed at the whole ordeal, "I've been thinking Killua, I kinda like you more than a friend" Gon was stuttering in his speech and his face was turning different shades of red all the same.

Killua paused for a moment, although he was waiting to hear this, nothing could've prepared him for it, so he replied to his best friend in a calm voice, simply "that's fine Gon, to tell the truth, I feel the same way, look how much we've been through together." Gon exhaled loudly after listening to Killua's response, and it took him a moment to process what he actually said, "r-really? You do?!"

"Yes Gon, I've felt this way for a while now, but I couldn't bring myself to tell you, you're braver than me, but I'm glad we both know now!" Killua continued, now himself turning a light red in the face, scratching the back of his head, it was getting late and the boys had been discussing their feelings for some time now before Gon suggested they got into bed.

Killua slid off his navy-blue shorts and white top, leaving Gon sat on the bed to gaze at his friend's smooth, clean body. Gon was feeling things he'd never felt before, like now he just needed to touch, but he controlled himself and turned the other way out of slight embarrassment, to which Killua noticed and scalded slightly "hey! Is something wrong with me?" Gon, who was shaking and hiding a new development in his own shorts turned his head back to him slightly and shook it "n-no not at all, you look, uhm, fine"

Without warning, the white-haired boy grabbed Gon and pulled his head in close to his chest before ruffling his hair with a closed fist and a menacing grumble. Gon suddenly felt the heat from Killua's chest on his cheek and found himself looking directly down at his friend's bulging boxers, Gon didn't take a clue from this that Killua was feeling the same way. In all the action, Killua had been slowly lowering Gon's head closer and closer to his boxers before his cheek was actually resting on warm, tenting bulge.

Gon wasn't sure what this new feeling was he had, but Killua's smell, his heat, it made him excited and ready. Killua was hiding small grunts as his friend was trapped between his legs but he sensed Gon's struggling had stopped and he looked down to see what was going on. Gon had closed his eyes and was embracing his friend's musk, it seemed to calm him, so Killua's ruffling turned into a soft stroke but he couldn't help his pressured hardness poking Gon's cheek.

Gon felt something pushing on his cheek and he looked up at Killua, "h-hey, why is it poking me Killuwa?" Killua's face turned the deepest red it had all day and he looked back down at his curious friend, but instead of responding he just reached down and tugged his boxers gently until his semi-hard member slipped out and poked Gon's cheek, which made them both blush but Gon's eyes slightly sparkled, he could feel more heat now, the smell was stronger.

Killua looked down at his best friend's face right next to his member, before reaching down and stroking one of Gon's cheeks with a smile, he spoke in a soothing tone, "You don't have to do anything you don't want Gon." To which the dark-haired boy replied happily "But I want to Killua, because… Because I love you."

This revelation turned both of their faces dark red, and Killua briefly looked away, never in his life had he been told this, but it meant the world to him.

Coming next… The couple dig a little deeper into discovering the depth of their feelings for each other, and Killua gets a special treat from Gon. Stay tuned! :D
