I will tell you what I do for valen's day after you read... Enjoy :)
HXH is not mine :)
Setsu PoV
I felt my cheek itchy. I opened slowly my eyes and rubbed my left cheek gently.
'Huh? What's this?' I felt something rough. I traced it and felt something sticky was applied to my left cheek.
"You're awake?" I heard him from my above. I tried to look at him, but the sun was showering me through the window. I quickly covered my face with my hand so I didn't see the sun directly. Then, I tried to see him again… then the ceiling…
'Where am I?' I thought. I looked at my left and saw Leorio was steering the steer wheel.
'Ah… I'm in the car' I tried to get up but I got a headache right away.
"Ugh…" I touched my head and Killua pushed me back to lie down.
"Don't force yourself. Back to your sleep. We still have a long way to go" Killua said.
"Where is this?" I asked.
"In the car"
"No, I mean where?"
"In Tanh city"
"I don't know where is that"
"Just go back to sleep. I'll wake you up when we're arrived" he said.
"We're going to Bonet city, right?"
"Yeah" when he said that, I just remembered that I haven't put the code that I won in Moon city. I took out my phone and the code from my jeans pocket and checked the ChocoLovers website. I put the code right away and I got a message immediately.
'Congratualtions! You've become the first rank!' I read in my mind. I clicked the rank page and saw the rank chart…
1st ChocoKillers – 3800 points
2nd ChocoDrugs – 3700 points
'So… Bonet city is the last chocolate house, huh? I have to prepare myself' I thought. My phone was snatched away by a hand, which surprised me.
"Sleep!" Killua looked at me while holding my phone.
"Give it back to me" I tried to reach the phone, but he held it up high.
"Nope, unless you sleep first" he said.
"Sigh… kay. But you have to sleep too. Bonet city is the last chocolate house we will compete" I said.
"Hnn…" he only replied that. Then, I closed my eyes again.
'So… Bonet city will decide who is the winner, huh? I wonder why… I felt uneasy'
Killua PoV
I watched Setsu sleep on my lap. My attention changed to the pink cellphone that I held. I took out the pocky strap that was in my pocket and tied it into her cellphone again. I tied once… twice… and third times so it won't fell off easily. Then, I unlocked the phone and went to the 'contacts'. I wrote my number and name on it so that she can call me anytime. After I finished updating my contact, I locked the phone again. I looked at the window and spaced out.
'The last chocolate house, huh? I hope she won't hate me if I beat her'
Setsu PoV
'u…'
'tsu…'
'Setsu…'
'Setsu…'
Someone was calling me. I opened my eyes slowly and found Killua waking me up.
"Wake up, Setsu. We're arrived" he said. I rubbed my eyes and got up from my sleep. I observed my surroundings. No Gon in the car, neither do Leorio and Kurapika. I saw the car's doors opened and heard the chattering outside. I got outside the car and saw a big chocolate house near us.
"Here" I felt Killua slid something into my hand. I checked what it was and saw a pink cellphone with a pocky strap.
"My phone strap!" I was surprised that my phone strap was back.
"H-How did you get this?" I asked.
"Well, I found it in the mirror room" he referred to the chocolate house in the Moon city.
"Oh my gosh… I can't believe it!" I didn't know why a phone strap made me this happy.
"Thank you, Killua!" I smiled at him.
"I also put my number so you can call me if something happens" he said so.
"Okay…"
"Let's go. Let's finish this competition" as he said that, the uneasy feelings came back into me again. I knew what he meant by 'competition' is the war between us.
"Uh… Yeah" I followed him to the entrance. As usual, we signed up and the officer gave us the device. We walked apart and didn't say anything. I took the left path and he took the right path. When I was inside, I looked at the floor. It's not made from ice but there is reversible escalator.
'Well, I can go through easily with my Fairy Wing' I thought. I didn't know what kind of house this was so I activated my 'Fairy Sense' to see the map. I remembered the map right away and use 'Fairy Wing' to go there.
'Strange… No traps. No maze. Just… an ordinary chocolate house!' I ran quickly through the way because according to the map I got, the left path is longer than the right path. I was afraid that he reached the room first and… I was right! I slammed the room's door and found him holding the code paper.
"I won, Setsu. Now, you have to follow all my orders" he smirked at me. I clenched my fist tightly and couldn't say a word because of my angriness.
'Calm down, Setsu… He hasn't won yet! He'll win if there is an announcement that says he won!' I calmed myself down.
"Say, what do you want me to do?" I asked stupidly.
'Uhh… I don't want this to be the end! I bet he will ask me to stop bothering him in the ChocoLovers website' I thought. If I stopped bothering him, I wouldn't be able to get near him anymore. The worse case scenario was I couldn't see him ever again!
"Let's see… Hmm… How about…" He put the code into his pocket. Then, he started saying things that was completely opposite of what I was thinking, like…
"Stay by my side, forever…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
There was a long silence.
"W-W-What?" I stuttered. Then, my mind was flying somewhere because I just remembered his mom said something about me.
'I heard you said that she's your girlfriend in front of the Hell Gate'
'D-Don't say that he…' I thought.
"Don't say that you-" I was about to say something but he cut me off.
"Don't get the wrong idea! I…" he scratched his hair.
Deg Deg…
Deg Deg…
'Calm down, Setsu! Calm down! It's not like he confess to me. I have to figure out a way to steal that code!'
Deg Deg…
Deg Deg…
'That's right! If I can get near him, maybe I can steal the code from him!' I thought my strategy but still… my heart won't calm down!
"Hm? What do you want to say?" I smirked and walked towards him. I knew that he would stutter and blush and look away.
"I…" he searched words to say. Still, I walked towards him.
"You… what?" Now, I was already in front of him. I circled my right arm into his neck and say near his ear…
"Well, care to explain why your mom say that you called me your girlfriend?" I asked.
"Ummm… about that…" he didn't know what to answer. My hand slowly came inside the pocket to search the code.
"Yeah?" Still, I was searching the code. I was glad that my fingers were long. I don't have to put all of my hand into the pocket.
"I… At that time… It's just a bluff" he lied.
"Oh, Killua. Just admit it! You like me, don't you?" I smirked.
"N-NO!" he started to panic. I could hear his loud heartbeat because our body touched each other.
'Gon was right. Killua sucks at love!' I thought and almost sighed. My hand was still searching… and finally, I got it! I quickly activated my nen and pulled away from him.
"Sorry, but… I'm the winner of this competition" I said to him while running to the Chocolate house entrance.
Killua PoV
"Sorry, but… I'm the winner of this competition" I heard her. When I was about to look her eyes, she's gone.
"Tch" I used my godspeed while searching the code in my pocket.
'Damn it! I was right!' I realized that Setsu stole my code. I tried to catch up with her and I caught her arm before she stepped on the entrance.
"Give me the code, Setsu"
"Well, I'll think about it if you answer my questions" she referred to the questions that she asked in the room.
"How about the 'order'?" I asked about who-can-order-who part.
"Well, I've heard your order, Killua. I won't go anywhere so don't waste the 'order' with something like that" she said.
"So… Do I still have the 'order'?"
"Nope"
"Why?"
"Cause if I force you to let go of my hands and win, I'll order you to answer my questions. So, it's paid off" I knew that she could win easily. She just one step away and I knew I couldn't stop her. Moreover, she could have the code if I let her won. I hesitated for a second, but I decided to answer her questions.
"Fine, but not in here and now" I let go her arm.
"I know" she gave me the code. We both walked to the entrance and…
"ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ALL CHOCOLOVERS MEMBERS! We already have a winner for Bonet City's chocolate house! The winner is… ChocoDrugs!"
"Here is the prize" the officer gave an envelope to Setsu.
"What? OH! The chocolate factory!" I opened the envelope and gasped seeing the bright, shiny, golden ticket.
"And here, it's for you" the officer gave her the same envelope. I bet that is the buffet coupon. Then, we both gave the devices to the officer and left. I saw Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio from far away. They waved at us.
"Good job, guys!" Leorio said to us.
"Congrats!" Kurapika and Gon said together in harmony.
"Thanks…" I said.
"So… Let's celebrate, shall we?" Leorio said.
"Yeah! Let's go!" we hopped on to the car and took our leave.
"But… where?"
"Hmmm… I think I know…" Setsu said.
*Arrive at the restaurant*
"This is…" I said while looking at the restaurant name.
"Sachii? What kind of restaurant is this?" Kurapika asked.
"This is my friend's restaurant. It serves Italian food. Come on in. It's my treat" she opened the door and greeted her friend. We followed her coming in.
"Hey, Rima! 5 persons, please!" she shouted.
"Just sit anywhere you want, Setsu" she said. This is the second time I was here. The tables were almost full, but it's not crowded. She chose the table that was in the middle of the room. It's a round table. Rima walked towards our table and handed us the menu. I opened the menu and searched what I want.
'Hmmm… Italian restaurant… So, the food that I must order is…' I still read the menu.
'Salad… not interested… Pizza? Let Leorio or Kurapika handle it… Ah, here it is! Pasta and Spaghetti!' I quickly flipped to the pasta and spaghetti section.
'I hope there is Spaghetti Bolognese' I searched and found it easily. Well, of course. This is an Italian restaurant!
"Are you guys ready to order?" Rima came back to our table and asked our orders.
"Ah yes! For the pizza, are you guys okay with margherita and funghi?" Leorio said. We looked at each other and nodded.
"We order both" Leorio said.
"I order one Greek salad" Kurapika said.
"Make it two" Setsu said.
"I order Spaghetti Bolognese" I said.
"Make it two, please!" Gon said.
"Anything else?" Rima asked. We looked at each other and said…
"No"
"What would you like to drink?" Rima asked again.
"Beer!" Leorio shouted.
"Ocha" Kurapika said.
"Make it two" I said.
"No, make it three!" Gon said.
"I'll have the usual" Setsu said to Rima.
"Okay" Rima said, was about to leave.
"Wait, Rima. Let me introduce you. This is Killua, Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio. Guys, this is Rima, my best friend" Setsu said.
"Nice to meet you" Rima said.
"Nice to meet you too" we all said. Then, Rima took her leave.
'I wonder what Setsu ordered' I thought. Not so long, Rima came back with the drinks on her tray. I saw Leorio's beer, the ochas and… just plain water?
"You ordered water in a restaurant?" I said to her.
"Yeah, why?" she asked.
"It's a waste" I said.
"Nope, I like it so it's not a waste. Moreover, it's hot water and I don't drink it plain" I saw she turned her water into chocolate. Then, I facepalmed.
"Oh man. I forgot that you're a choco-holic too" I said. Leorio and Kurapika gasped as they saw she turned it into chocolate.
"Wow, is that a magic trick?" Leorio asked.
"Nope"
"Then… is it nen?" Kurapika asked.
"Yep"
"I can't believe my eyes!" Gon said. Then, we started to chat about her nen abilities until we got our food and drink served.
"Itadakimasu" we said together and started to eat until there was nothing left.
"May I take your plates?" Rima asked to take the empty plates.
"Oh yes, please" we said.
"Would you like some desserts?" Rima asked.
"YES!" Setsu and I shouted. I saw Rima almost laughed. I took the menu again and opened the dessert section. I was amazed at how many desserts they had! And all of them looked very yummy!
"I'll have the usual, Rima" Setsu said to her.
"How about you, sir?" Rima asked.
"Hmmm… I'll have the chocolate pudding" I said. I noticed that both, Rima and Setsu startled a little bit.
"Okay" Rima went back to her place in the counter. Gon said something to Kurapika but I just ignored him. I looked at Setsu and said…
"Were you startled?" I asked.
"Huh?"
"Weren't you guys startled when I said chocolate pudding?" I repeated.
"Well, that's because… I also ordered that" she said.
"Huh? Really?"
"Yeah"
"Here are your desserts" Rima was back with our desserts on her tray.
"Thank you, Rima" Setsu thanked her as she went back to the counter.
"Wow, you guys ordered the same dessert!" Gon said.
"Wow, this must be…" Kurapika said.
"LOVE!" Leorio shouted.
"Oh shut up" I said. I scooped a spoonful of the pudding and put it into my mouth. I felt the soft texture of the pudding that melted in my mouth along with the chocolate taste. I couldn't help but smile.
"This is good!" I said.
"I know, right?" she said. I finished my pudding in no time while grinning like a crazy guy. After we ate and partied until late, we went to our apartment again. I felt sleepy as I walked in to the apartment. I walked to my bedroom and lay down on the bed.
"Hey! It's my bed!" I heard someone said that to me. Without realizing it, I slept on Setsu's bed. Well, it was my bed before she came.
"Just let me sleep here today. I feel so tired" I said lazily, still closing my eyes.
'I don't know since when I thought this is my room. I always thought my room is in Gon's bedroom' I thought. Before I knew, I was already asleep.
Setsu PoV
'I'm sleepy' I thought when I walked in to the apartment. I looked at Leorio and Kurapika too. I think they're all sleepy.
"Are you guys sleepy?" I asked.
"Yeah" they said as they walked in to the apartment.
"You can sleep in my bed, Leorio, Kurapika" Gon said.
"Oh, thanks but… how about you? You're sleepy too, right?" Kurapika asked.
"Don't worry about me. I want to play my JoyStation first" he said. I didn't care what they're talking about. I walked in to my bedroom and found someone already lay down on my bed.
"Hey! It's my bed!" I said to Killua.
"Just let me sleep here today. I feel so tired" he replied.
"But this is my bed!"
"…"
No reply.
"You can sleep in Gon's room. This is my room" I said again.
"…"
'Is he already asleep?' I thought as I watched him sleep under his cozy blanket.
"Sigh…" I decided to sleep on Gon's bedroom. I walked to Gon's room and was about to ask his permission to sleep on his bed, but… I saw Leorio and Kurapika already on the bed. Asleep. I looked at my right. The TV was still on and Gon was asleep on the floor with the JoyStation's stick on his hand.
"Sigh…" I sighed and walked back to my room. Killua was sleeping, facing the wall beside him. I saw there was some space left on the bed so I decided to sleep there. I was too sleepy to bother about these things. I got into the bed and felt how warm the blanket was. I watched Killua's back once again and then closed my eyes.
'I hope I won't be too shocked if I see him when I wake up' I thought.
Okay! So what I did last weekend is... making chocolate chip cookies for this certain someone (well, he's not my boyfriend!).
I will give the cookies to him on valen's day. I hope he will like it, though! If he doesn't... well... WHATEVER! LOL XD
But still, I like him since I saw him the first time. We don't know each other. I just see him from far away...
Ah~ My love story... it's so gloomy~ -sigh- I envy Setsu T_T
Anyways, tell me your valen's day story :) I will be glad to hear your story !
Happy val's day!
