Well, Hello Amber Eyes

The bell signaling the end of the school day rang and Killua wasted no time in exiting the school. He pushed past the other rich snobs of the school that he had to regretfully call his classmates and hurried through the court yard, brushing some of the pink petals from the many cherry blossom trees scattered about.

"It's like a freaking anime." Killua muttered grumpily, pushing a few petals off his black school's uniform jacket. He sighed in annoyance, hoping that no other petal dared to fall onto him before he made it back home to his family's creepy old mansion. At least the only cherry blossom tree they had was on the edge of the property that Killua didn't even need to go near to get to his destination.

Just thinking about getting home made Killua feel more at peace. It wasn't exactly the home part he was wanting, but the part where he went up to his room and played the piano till he got called down to dinner. He loved his beautiful grand white piano with black inky carvings and a nice polish. He first got the beautiful instrument when he turned six and all he did for months was run his fingers across the keys gently, then pressing down on a few cords here and there before he gathered the courage to play the few songs his music instructor gave him to practice.

After those few months Killua would stare at it for a few moments wondering why he was in possession of something so beautiful before he got lost in the music, and has done so ever since.

Killua smiled at his thoughts as he turned right at the large school gates and down the sidewalk to get home. He wasn't paying much attention so he didn't notice the spiky raven haired teen that had instantly started following him once he left, Killua only noticing him when he saw the other teen looking up at him curiously.

Killua blinked in surprised, recognizing the kid from Biscuit's coffee shop when he got an expresso just yesterday.

"Well, hello amber eyes." Killua greeted, not really remembering the other's name. It started with a 'G' or something but whatever it was, Killua just couldn't remember it. So, he called him by the next best thing if he didn't know someone's name, by their eye color.

The teen beside him chuckled in obvious amusement, smiling up at Killua since he was a few inches taller than the raven.

"Hello to you, too, blue eyes." he greeted back. Killua gave a loose shrug as he slung his school bag further onto his shoulder, feeling a little uncomfortable with how amber eyes decided to tag along with him to walk home.

"So, any reason why you were waiting outside my school's gates?" Killua question, looking ahead with a neutral expression on his face. Amber eyes shrugged, still smiling that stupid smile that Killua found somewhat annoying.

"I thought I might say hello, seeing as our schools are so close." he replied, giving a little skip as he talked. Killua peered at him from the corner of his eyes for a brief second, finding the other a little weird as time went by.

"I work Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday shifts, you could've said hello then." Killua pointed out, the other giving a one shoulder shrugged, swinging his arms back and forth like a little kid.

"I didn't know that, but now I do!" he cheered, throwing his arms up in the air, flashing Killua another one of his annoying smiles. "But even then, I would've still came and said hello." Amber eyes told him. Killua blew out a puff of air, blowing away a white strand from his eyes as he felt his already thin patience wearing even thinner. Well, he's always been told he wasn't one to be patient, or stand other people for long. They weren't lying.

"That's great." Killua muttered, thinking that the other couldn't hear him, but low-n-behold, amber eyes' got some great hearing on him or something, because he heard him as clear as day.

"I know!" Amber eyes chirped happily. "And it seems that we live close too, so we might just be walking the same path home every day!" Killua felt his shoulders drooping at that, dreading his after school walks already even though this was the first one with amber eyes.

"Oh, yay, call the media because they'd be just as delighted as I am to hear of this." Killua grumbled sarcastically. Amber eyes didn't seem to notice though and keep on smiling as he emitted rainbows and sunshine's and puppies and kittens all around making Killua feel sick to the stomach. Killua wasn't exactly a… fan… of optimists and this guy basically oozed optimism, and that wasn't good. Every time Killua was around an optimist, he found himself making life-time enemies from his smart-ass remarks that he just can't keep to himself, because, okay, the world isn't all sunshine with bunnies and frolicking unicorns and no matter what, you can't make it filled like that.

"Killua?" Amber eyes asked, blinking up at him. It seemed like through Killua's mental rant about how stupid optimism is, amber eyes had asked him a question.

"What?" Amber eyes rolled his eyes in amusement, walking up fast a little before turning around and walking backwards in front of Killua, that annoying smile already playing on his lips.

"I asked," repeated Amber eyes, "How long have you been playing the piano?" Killua blinked a couple of time before offering an attentive shrug, not really sure himself.

"Uh… since I was five… I guess." Killua said, raising an eyebrow at his own unsureness. Amber eyes frowned, lips pouting a bit at the answer before that stupid smile was up again.

"That must mean you played a really long time, huh?" Amber eyes said.

"Sure," Killua replied as they reached a small intersection. "Well, see you later amber eyes." Killua said as he turned right, amber eyes still going straight. Killua threw a short wave over his shoulder as he kept on walking without turning around.

"Bye Killua!" Amber eyes shouted. "Oh, by the way, it's Gon!" Blinking, the white haired teen turned around to see Gon walking backwards waving at him with his shit stupid grin before he turned around and started walking like a normal human being.

Well, now amber eyes has a name.

His fingers danced across this keys, his body moving with the music as he closed his eyes to a world of notes and beauty. He didn't know how long he has been playing, but it felt like mere seconds to Killua as he played on the grand piano in his room.

He was so far lost in the music that he didn't hear the door to his bedroom open nor hear the footsteps get closer to him until he was jerk out of his peaceful world of music by a hand resting on his shoulder, hands slamming down on the piano to make a clash of notes as Killua squealed and jumped at least an inch from his bench, heart beating a mile per second.

"Killu," the voice of his older brother came from behind him. "It's time for dinner." Killua turned around shakily, hand over heart as he stared up at his oldest brother Illumi, eyes wide from his brief scare.

"I-I'll be down in a minute…" he stuttered. Illumi nodded, standing there for a brief second before leaving, closing Killua's door behind him as he left. Killua turned back around as he took a few calming breaths to sooth his frantic heartbeat, closing his eyes and resting his forehead against the smooth wood of the white piano.

"Jesus Christ," Killua cursed under his breath. "I swear I just saw my life flash before my very eyes." With a shake of his head, Killua stood up and closed the fallboard over the keys before he grabbed a random blue sweatshirt off his desk chair, putting it on as he left his room.

By the time he got down there, his family were already eating and conversing.

"Nice of you to join us, Killua." Killua looked up at his father as he sat down, one of the servants placing a plate of food before him. He gave him a brief nod, reaching for his glass of water and taking a drink. "How was school?" Killua shrugged, setting his glass back down. He knew his father didn't really care about what happened during the day, he basically wanted to know if Killua did good and stayed well behaved since he was basically representing his family even at school.

"It was fine." he replied shortly.

"Were there any tests?" his father continued. Killua shrugged.

"There was one in math, but that was easy." His father nodded his head before he turned to converse with Grandpa and Illumi.

"Ne, ne, Killua! I heard you playing!" Alluka said happily from beside him. Killua turned to his little sister and grinned.

"You always hear me playing." he pointed out with a little laugh. Alluka shook her head, rolling her eyes.

"Yeah, but usually it's to figure out a new song, something like that. This time you were playing from your memory!" Alluka beamed. Killua raised his eyebrow at her, amused.

"How can you tell if that was from memory?" he asked. Alluka groaned, leaning forward and almost putting her face in her food from exaggeration.

"You always memorize stuff!" she said, staring at him pointedly.

"Doesn't mean I could've memorized that." he said, taping her on the nose with his fork as she went cross-eyed trying to look at the tip.

"I've heard you play that song before." she deadpanned, looking back up at him. Killua gave a short laugh.

"Maybe it's a trick of your memory, you might be going senile Alluka." he teased, the girl flaring up in annoyance as she crossed her arms and pouted.

The rest of dinner went with Killua teasing Alluka only for her to retaliate and toss a spoonful of peas and carrots at him, one time missing him and hitting Milluki in the back of the head who grew angry and started shouting just as Killua started calling him crazy and senile. Killua's grandfather was the one to break up the fight between the two and had them sit at separate ends of the table with Killua smiling happily and Milluki planning ways to get back at him.

After dinner, Killua excused himself to go on a small walk, leaving with the advice on not staying out too late by Alluka who threw another spoonful of peas at him just for fun.

The air outside was chilly since it was autumn and being night also played a role in it making Killua huddle into his blue sweat shirt as he breathed little white puffs into the chilly air.

The walk was pretty dang peaceful until Killua was knocked to the fucking ground pretty hard resulting in bloody hands. Well, looked like the peaceful walk turned pretty much the opposite of what it was.

Hip hip Hur-fucking-ray
