Like I said before, I'm making this up as I go. Apparently I wanted to attempt to bring the feels, didn't even realize I was doing it until I was already half done. Mainly happens in the bonus.

Enjoy.

Chapter 19: DisorientedXTrust MeXNightmare

Killua opened his eyes slowly and quickly closed them again to shield them from the near-blinding light that shone above him.

"...cute..."

Killua could hear someone talking in the room, wherever he was. He was too disoriented to make out who the voice belonged to, however.

"...maybe...love..."

"Must be one of the girls," he thought to himself, trying to make out what was being said. Everything sounded so far away right now, even the laughter he heard now.

Laughter?

"Ah...awake!" he heard someone exclaim, not catching the middle of it. He began to wonder how they even knew he was awake before he noticed he had been holding his head. He didn't even know he had been doing so.

"Ms. P...think...in pain," Killua heard, wishing he had caught the whole name.

"Seems...We'll talk...situation...time," he heard a new voice say.

Everything still sounded very distant, so very fuzzy. He felt something being pressed against his lips. "Dr...slowly...ay?"

Killua had no idea what was being pressed against his lips, and was now extremely paranoid. Why was Gon not with him? Who were these people? What the hell were they pressing against his face? Why did his head suddenly feel like an iceberg?

So many questions were flooding inside his head, he swung his hand at the foreign object being pressed against his mouth and heard the bleary sound of it breaking against a wall on the other side of the room. "Glass?"

Then he felt a major pain in the hand he swiped the foreign object with, and heard a faint yell. "My knuckles! Why do they hurt so much?!..Did..that yell come from me?"

"...lua! St...down!"

Killua did not feel safe at all. He would swear that was his name that was said. Why do these people know his name? He couldn't get himself to open his eyes, so he began blindly thrashing around before he felt his arms being caught and held down.

He ceased his thrashing when he felt something wet hit his face. Then another drop. Another.

Did they throw him outside in the rain? Was it even still raining? How long had it been?

He felt a pair of arms wrap around his torso, and more wet droplets hit his face.

"..ospital?"

"I..on't thin..so. He ju..t needs rest."

His hearing was starting to clear up some, and he listened intently as he could make out most words now.

"It looks like he..hear us now. See how he..more alert?"

Killua felt the arms around him loosen and a weight lifted off his chest for a moment, though he still felt droplets every so often.

"Killua? It's me, Gon." Killua jerked at hearing the name, and tried to sit up abruptly only to be held down. "No no, calm down. It's okay. You're safe, okay?"

Killua did not feel safe right now. He kept feeling wet droplets hit his skin, and Gon did not sound okay. He didn't sound hurt, but he did not sound okay. Killua tried to open his eyes again, but it still hurt so much that he had to clamp them shut once more.

When he felt Gon release him, he immediately sat up and threw his arms around to search for his friend. Then he felt someone settle in on the small bed behind him, followed by arms wrapping around his back to his front. He grabbed at the foreign arms and tried to pry them off, wanting to go find Gon. He began to growl and whine, desperately trying to free himself.

"Shhh Killua, it's okay. Everything is alright," he heard Gon reassure him from behind. "I'm here, okay? Just calm down."

He felt Gon rest his chin on his shoulder, quietly shushing him and whispering 'It's okay'. That's when he felt the wetness on his cheek, neck and shoulder instead of his face.

"Mr. Paladiknight, will you get me another glass and three pills?"

He heard heavy footsteps for a while, before light ones started approaching and tensed up, feeling Gon hug him tighter to hold him still. "We're just going to give you medicine and water, okay? Nothing bad."

Killua relaxed slightly and felt another foreign object pressed to his lips once more.

"Drink slowly, the pills are inside the water." He didn't know whose voice that was he was hearing, and because of that clamped his mouth shut in distrust. "Gon?"

"Drink slowly Killua, please. I promise it's going to help."

He slowly opened his mouth and drank from the cup, feeling three small pebble-like objects as well. When he was done the cup was moved away. He felt himself start to be rocked from left to right very slowly, and his had drooped involuntarily. He was tired from this whole ordeal.

"Would you like to go to sleep?" he heard from behind, feeling himself be pulled backwards and lying with his back on what he assumed was his friend's chest.

He turned his head to the side and opened his eyes just slightly, barely making out the form of Gon's face. "Is he crying?"

His head was then softly pushed onto Gon's neck and his eyes drifted shut.

"It's alright, just go to sleep now. Please."

Age 14

Killua shot up straight in bed, looking around frantically in the dark before he noticed the faint outline of his sleeping friend next to him. He ran a sweaty hand through his hair, flashes of the nightmare he just had running through his head. He tried to calm his breathing and squeeze his eyes shut to relax. Taking a deep breath he opened his eyes and looked down again, this time seeing Gon staring up at him with half-lidded eyes.

"Killua, what are you doing?" he asked, rubbing an eye and propping himself up with the other arm.

"Nothing, go back to sleep," he told the other softly, shoving the toy cat in between them into his face. He really didn't feel like telling someone he couldn't handle something as insignificant as a nightmare. Even if it was about past traumas.

Gon sat up in the bed and hugged Killua from beside, already knowing the problem. "Was it your old family again?"

Killua nearly jumped out of his skin at the contact and sound of his voice, obviously more on edge than he initially believed. "Y-yeah. I-I guess." He mentally cursed at the frailty in his voice.

Gon squeezed his friend a little tighter to let him know he was safe now. "They can't hurt you anymore, Killua."

"You don't know what they can do."

Gon frowned deeply at this statement. "I don't care what they can do. I won't let them do anything. I don't care if it kills me."

Killua hit the other on the back of the head for that. "Don't talk like that."

The spiky-haired teenager rubbed the back of his head, still holding his friend with one arm. "Sorry, but it's true. I would do anything for you, Killua." Killua smiled at hearing this, and blushed a little when his friend nuzzled their head into the side of his neck.

"G-Gon-" he tried, but was interrupted when he was pushed down onto his back with Gon's upper body sprawled across his.

"I'm actually really tired, Killua. Maybe like this the bad dreams will come to me instead of you," Gon murmured, his face still buried in the crook of the other's neck.

Killua gulped and stared down at the head of spiky hair. "That's so selfish, I don't want you to suffer for me..."

When he heard Gon's light snoring, he pulled the cover up to the lower one's neck and rested his chin on their forehead. Maybe some how this might make him feel safe during his sleep. He already felt better, though. A lot better.

He woke up the next morning in the same position as last night, Gon still sprawled across him and having had no nightmares at all.

Bonus: Gon's perspective

Gon was sitting in the nurse's office waiting for Killua to wake up. He was currently talking to the nurse, Ms. Pitou while the intern watched over his friend. He would feel a little better if said intern was actually paying attention instead of reading a magazine, though...

Gon turned around in his chair to face the intern and asked, "So Mr. Paladiknight, how come you decided to become an intern here instead of at a hospital? Wouldn't it be better to go there if you want to become a doctor?"

"Yeah, but there were no positions open and I need medical experience of any type. So it was either here or bust."

Gon made an 'o' with his mouth before he turned back to Ms. Pitou. Mr. Paladiknight sounded grumpy and unfriendly today. "Do you think Killua is going to be okay?"

"Well, he certainly didn't seem in great condition when you two were brought in. I wouldn't worry about it though, it doesn't look too serious. I would tell him to just refrain from using any force with his bandaged hand and to keep ice on that bump on the back of his head. His head hit the ground pretty hard by the looks of it," she answered off-handedly, looking through some papers.

Gon sighed and slumped in his chair, sparing another glance at his still unconscious friend. The nurse took notice of this, and a small smirk played across her lips. "You seem to worry about him a lot. Are you two close?"

Gon looked at her curiously. Usually people knew that you couldn't spot one without the other. No Gon without Killua, and no Killua without Gon. "Yeah, we've been together since we were ten!"

"My, that's quite an early age to enter a relationship with someone," Ms. Pitou said while chuckling.

Gon's smile dropped instantly and his cheeks flared red. "W-wh-what? N-no! Not like that!" He waved his hands in front of himself frantically, obviously embarrassed. "I-I meant we've been living with each other since then! We're best friends, and we do everything together."

Ms. Pitou laughed a little harder, and even Mr. Paladiknight could be heard snickering in the back.

"Are you guys making fun of me?" Gon questioned, crossing his arms and pouting now.

"Nyah." Ms. Pitou's laughter died down. "You seem to care about him far more than you let on. Or maybe even more than you realize. Maybe you don't understand your own feelings?"

Gon looked down at the ground in thought, and then back over at his friend. "Well, I always felt like we had some kind of..connection. You know? I guess I might even find him..." He paused to look for the right word. "...cute? I don't know, do you two think I'm..in love? I don't know how to tell."

Gon looked to the ceiling in thought while Ms. Pitou and Mr. Paladiknight laughed softly at Gon's innocence, how he seemed to not be phased by such a topic that would embarrass anyone else.

"I think there's a very good chance of that, Mr. Freecss," Ms. Pitou answered.

Gon smiled at her and looked back at Killua, seeing his friend holding his head. "Ah! I think Killua is awake!"

Gon ran over and gripped the side of the small bed Killua was lying in, watching the other closely. "Ms. Pitou, I think he's in pain!"

"Seems we'll have to talk about your little situation another time, nyah?" She grabbed the glass of water she had waiting for him and dropped two painkillers in it, heading over to the rest of the group.

Gon grabbed the ice pack by the bed and pressed it against his friend's head to try to help the pain go away.

Ms. Pitou pressed the cup of water against his lips, telling him, "Drink slowly, okay?"

Gon saw the silver-haired teen clench his teeth and swat the cup clear across the room. He turned and looked to see where it went, hearing and seeing it crash and break against the wall, spilling its contents to the floor.

He looked back to his friend when he heard the other yell, and noticed Killua holding his bad hand protectively. "Killua! Stop! You need to calm down!"

Gon couldn't take the sight when his friend started thrashing about, eyes clenched closed as if in so much pain. He just looked to be in so much pain.

He felt a tear slip out of his eye, rolling down his cheek and falling off his chin. Then another tear. Another.

He bent down and threw his arms around the thrashing teen's neck and hugged him close, trying to stop his crying. He hated seeing his friend in such a state. He hated it so much.

"Does he need to go to a hospital?" Gon asked, looking up at the nurse yet refusing to let go of his friend.

"Nyah, I don't think so. He just needs to rest," Ms. Pitou answered. She pointed at Killua's slightly scrunched up face, "It looks like he can hear us now. See how he looks more alert?"

Gon loosened his hold on Killua and moved back some to try to see through the blurriness of his tears.

"Killua? It's me, Gon." Gon frowned and held Killua down when the other jerked upwards. He choked out, "No no, calm down. It's okay. You're safe, okay?"

Gon watched Killua try to open his eyes, and clamp them shut again, figuring he must be really sensitive to light right now. He let his friend go and hurried to sit on the bed behind him when he saw the other flailing around in a desperate search for him.

He threw one leg over the other side of the bed and sat behind Killua, wrapping his arms around him in a hug from behind. He tightened his hold when Killua began to pry at his arms, trying to pull them off of himself. Gon let out a sad, half-hearted laugh when Killua began to let out soft noises of warning. "Shhh Killua, It's okay. Everything is alright. I'm here, okay? Just calm down."

Gon leaned forward and rested his chin on his friend's shoulder, letting out soft 'shhh's and whispering that it was okay. Gon leaned his head to the side, resting his cheek on Killua's with tears still streaming down his face slowly. He couldn't stand seeing Killua like this.

"I'm not going anywhere, I promise."

Ms. Pitou looked over at the intern who looked ready to restrain the silver-haired teen in case of another outburst. "Mr. Paladiknight, will you get me another glass and three pills?"

The intern stood up and went to the medicine cabinet, pulling out the pill bottle and a new cup. Filling up the cup at the sink, he dropped three pills into the water and went to hand it off to the nurse.

Gon felt Killua's whole body tense up at the approaching footsteps of Ms. Pitou, and squeezed him in reassurance. "We're just going to give you medicine and water, okay? Nothing bad."

He felt Killua relax slightly, and looked up at the nurse to let her know it was alright. She pressed the cup to his lips once more, tilting it slightly. "Drink slowly, the pills are inside the water."

Gon felt Killua's cheek move as his jaw clenched shut, refusing to open his mouth.

"Gon?" Ms. Pitou questioned, wanting him to get the boy to open up.

"Drink slowly Killua, please. I promise it's going to help." "I wouldn't let them anywhere near you if it wouldn't," he wanted to say.

Gon watched him drink the water and swallow the pills, beginning to rock him from left to right soothingly when Ms. Pitou took the cup away.

"Would you like to go to sleep?" Gon questioned, seeing his friend's head droop down.

He laid back against the wall that was at the head of the bed, pulling Killua back with him rather than waiting for any type of answer. When Killua turned his head and squinted at spiky-haired teen, Gon wiped his eyes of any remaining tears and pushed Killua's head down to let him rest. He didn't need to be straining himself right now.

When Killua closed his eyes, Gon whispered into his ear, "It's alright, just go to sleep now. Please."

He laid his head back against the wall and closed his own eyes. Seeing Killua in such a state had torn him up inside, and he wished to never see it again. He couldn't stand that feeling of helplessness, of not being able to do a thing. He was no longer crying, but he was exhausted from the entire ordeal.

Hopefully everything would be better when they wake up.

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.
