Chapter 15: CaughtXPainXFood
During lunch time Gon and Killua chose to meet at their usual spot under the bleachers in the gymnasium, as they had P.E. right after lunch anyways.
"Killua, at least eat something before you start playing with my phone," Gon reprimanded the other teen whom was leaning against him, knowing that he'll just complain that he didn't get to eat when the bell rings.
Killua idly grabbed an apple off his lunch tray and opened his mouth while bringing it to his face, not looking away from the phone as he did so. Gon sighed at this sight and turned back to his own food, before he heard something hit the floor next to him. Looking back at his best friend, he noticed Killua had dropped his apple, but his mouth still hung open and his eyes were wide.
"Killua? What's the matter?" he asked, leaning over to look at the screen on his phone. He noticed the picture from this morning taking up the whole screen, and his own eyes widened.
"Gon..what the hell is this?" Killua asked through clenched teeth. The spiky-haired teen began laughing nervously and scratching the back of his head.
"Um..ah, well, you see.." he began, falling short on thinking of a good excuse. "I came to wake you up this morning, but you and Mike just looked so funny together..I couldn't pass up on taking a picture of it." He began slowly inching away in case Killua made a grab for him.
Killua stared at the image of himself hanging off the side of the bed with their dog sleeping on top of the pillow that was on top of his head. Killua smiled after a while and waved at Gon to come back over, whom had scooted a good 10 feet away.
"I'm not that dumb, Killua." Gon said, staring at him like he was crazy, and moved further away.
He legitimately felt like he was going to die at any moment. He refused to blink right now because he knew Killua could be really fast and didn't feel like opening his eyes to a fist.
Maybe that was over exaggerating a bit..but still.
Killua sighed, closing his eyes and standing up with a small smirk. Gon immediately stood up as well, watching Killua walk towards him, his back to a wall. When the silver-haired teen got close enough to reach out and grab Gon he opened his eyes and glared at his friend.
They stayed like that for a while, and Killua could hear the other's breathing growing uneven. Gon couldn't avoid blinking much longer, and decided to move his head to the right as his eyes were half closed in a blink. As soon as he opened them he saw Killua dropping to his knees holding his own wrist, and a crack on the concrete wall where Gon's head was.
"Killua!" the teen cried, worried about his friend being hurt before he realized something. "Were you trying to break my face or just plain kill me?!"
Killua clenched his hurting fist as blood spots began to form on his knuckles. He knew his friend was pretty resilient, and had expected his face to take most of the impact though didn't believe it would really phase him all that much. He knew Gon could take a hit. Though in expecting the other's face to take the hit he wasn't prepared to hit such a hard surface and didn't really brace himself. He was biting his bottom lip so hard to keep from yelling out in pain that he was pretty sure he would be bleeding from there soon enough, too.
"A little bit of both," Killua ground out through clenched teeth, attempting to stand up. "Sleep with one eye open tonight."
Gon smirked evilly, walking so close that their noses were touching. "Or what?" he challenged, poking his friend's damaged knuckles and watching him crumple to the ground in a heap.
"Damn it Gon that hurts!" he practically screamed as Gon cockily walked back to their forgotten food.
"The bell is going to ring soon, by the way. Might want to actually eat something before it does," The spiky-haired teenager warned his friend, who was still rolling around on the ground dramatically and holding his wrist.
When Killua finally calmed down he was lying on his back on the floor. He huffed in annoyance, using his good hand to get up and go sit next to Gon. Gon smiled and slid his tray over to the other, and as Killua made a grab for something on it the bell rang.
"That's karma for you." Gon told him, fighting back a laugh as Killua groaned.
"Yeah, well karma is a bitch and I'm full of it," Killua retorted, quickly shoveling as much food from his tray down his mouth as he could. Gon sighed at the sight, mumbling something about choking as he sat back and waited for the other to finish.
Age 13
Mito sighed heavily as she opened the fridge and found it had once again been raided. She opened the cabinets and got the same result.
"Honestly, they eat a months worth of food within a week every time..." she thought aloud, going up the stairs to their room. When she opened the door she caught sight of Killua's leg on the windowsill going out. She ran to the window and poked her head out, looking up and noticing them climbing onto the roof.
"Boys! What did I say about getting onto the roof?!" she scolded them as they looked over the edge to see her.
"But Aunt Mito, the satellite is acting up again!"
Mito knew that was just an excuse to get up on the roof because they run around more than they watch television. "So you couldn't use the ladder because?" she questioned, going along with this.
"Well that just takes the fun out of it," Killua replied, blunt and flat. Mito ran a hand through her hair, trying not to get agitated.
"Well I came to let you both know I'm about to go to the store. If the food I buy doesn't last more than a week, I'm not buying anymore for another two weeks," she warned them. Of course she wouldn't actually starve the two children, but she hoped it would at least get her point across.
"Gotcha, Mito!" Killua replied with a grin and a thumbs up.
They were out of food in 8 days.
Don't feel obligated to give a good review, I accept good and bad alike, so don't hold back. Though I prefer any review to none at all. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed.
Thank you for reading.
