As the movie credits roll Gon gets up, says his goodbyes and makes his way out of the room, wanting to get back to Killua. Kurapika sits next to Leorio quietly, both waving silently to the younger male as he leaves them alone. The tense air that had been building during the movie is all that can be felt now that Gon isn't there to disrupt it. The older males stare at the TV, their bodies stiff.
Leorio is the first to move. Without a word he stands up and walks over to the mini fridge, his posture straight, his shoulders back as if bracing himself. Kurapika closes his eyes, taking a deep breath.
This is it. The moment of truth.
"Leorio." Kurapika breaks the silence, catching how the older man stops in his movement for a moment before he opens up the fridge and pulls out a bottle of champagne. "We need to talk."
"...I know." Leorio takes out a couple of glasses from the cabinet. There's silence between them as Leorio works on pouring two glasses of the champagne. The air could be cut with a knife. Kurapika decides to keep the conversation going. It's time to get his answers. This is his chance. He's finally alone with the other male. This can't wait, not when his heart is beating like it is, when his whole being yearns to know.
"Why did you kiss me?" Kurapika asks the question that has been haunting him since Leorio's lips melted against his own. Leorio stops what he's doing again, his back is to the blonde as he pulls back his brown locks, a sigh escaping him.
"I didn't like it." Leorio doesn't turn to face him.
"You didn't like what?" Kurapika watches his friend, his full attention on this man.
"How you were talking. It pissed me off hearing you talk about how you didn't deserve the person you like. I didn't like that look in your eyes Kurapika. This person has hurt you and then you go and say you don't deserve them." Leorio grips his fists. "You are..." Leorio licks his lips. He stops talking, his body so tense. After a few minutes pass Kurapika's sure he won't continue unless he's provoked.
"I'm what Leorio? And I understand you saying you didn't like my words but...why kiss me? You kissed me with passion Leorio. Answer me honestly." Kurapika tries to sound stern and firm. He can hear his voice waver though, his heart beating too fast and his chest feeling tight.
"Don't make me say it Kurapika. I'm sure you know. You're smart." Leorio slumps, covering his face with his hands. "I don't want to ruin this. You're my best friend. I don't want to put any distance between us. There's already too much of it."
"Do you have feelings for me Leorio? Is that what that kiss means? If not correct me." Kurapika stands up from off the couch, his throat feeling dry and a deep feeling growing in the pit of his stomach and spreading throughout his body. "If you have feelings for me it won't put any distance between us. I just want to understand."
"...Kurapika I don't know how to explain this to you, how much you mean to me. When you were talking about this person you like with that sad look in your eyes I just couldn't stand it. It made me angry. How dare this person turn you down and hurt you? When to me you're the most amazing person. I lost myself and I kissed you. I wanted you to feel in my kiss how amazing you really are. It back fired though. I let the cat out of the bag after all these years." Leorio chuckles oddly, still not facing him. "I'm sorry Kurapika. I know it's strange. I wasn't going to tell you. You have so much going on that I thought my feelings for you would have just been a burden. I didn't want us to drift apart any more. I'm sorry I just went and kissed you. If you want I'll act as if it never happened. So lets move on from this okay?-"
"If you have feelings for me then why have you been sleeping around with all those women?" Kurapika snaps, taking a step forward, his heart feels like it could explode from all the emotions filling him.
"...Because they looked like you." Leorio chugs the champagne down in one gulp, hitting his fist against the wall. "It was easy to pretend that...they were you..." Leorio swallows thickly. "I know it's sick. Damn it Kurapika, I'm sorry. This shit is messed up. I just...I wanted you and you were always so far away. I knew I couldn't have you...I didn't want this to happen so it was easy to just find a woman that looked like you and pretend that I had you for just a moment. Maybe I need help."
Kurapika is taken over by his overflowing emotions as he marches over to Leorio, his breath coming out as huffs, his chest feels so tight. He grabs Leorio and turns him around, the blonde pinning him against the wall, glaring up at the older man who looks like he's about to cry. "You idiot! You didn't have to do stupid things like that when I..." Kurapika hears his voice crack, the dam breaking inside him as he shoves his face into Leorio's chest, his shoulders shaking in all the feelings he's experiencing.
"I love you Leorio. You're the person I love, the one I was talking about kissing. The one I said I didn't deserve. Hearing you with all those women on the phone and seeing you go off with them was hell. I was worried about your health, that you would get a disease or make a mistake. I was jealous. I figured there was no way that you liked men, that you could like me. If you just told me..." Kurapika sniffles, his cheeks getting wet from his tears. It feels like this is a dream. A wonderful dream where everything is okay and he's getting his happy ending. Leorio wraps his arms around him, his chest heaving up and down.
"Kurapika...it's been me? All this time? You're the idiot, why didn't you tell me?" Leorio nuzzles Kurapika's head, giving him a peck on top of his forehead. "I guess we're both stupid..." Leorio grabs Kurapika's chin, forcing him to look at him. Leorio's eyes are watery, a deep frown on his face when he sees Kurapika's tears. "I'm sorry I hurt you Kurapika. I know it was stupid. I have no self control. When I would hear your voice or think about you...it just hurt inside and I wanted to be closer. I shouldn't have done it but know that every time I was thinking of you. I'm not a good man-"
"You are a good man Leorio. You just made mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes." Kurapika stares into those kind brown orbs that are laced with guilt. "Just...Just promise me..." Kurapika swallows, goosebumps on his arms from the intensest of this and how close he is... Kurapika grips his shirt. "No more...I don't want to stomach through you being with another woman."
"Of course. I don't need them now that I have you Kurapika. You're who I've wanted all along." Leorio wipes Kurapika's tears off his cheek with his thumb, his voice getting lower to a whisper. Those brown orbs are bright with a happiness and relief. Leorio leans in, kissing the blonde on the lips slowly before pulling away, looking into Kurapika's eyes that have glossed over, a blush covering his cheeks and nose. "I don't need anyone else. I'm not much of anything but would you be with this foolish doctor? If we do this I want you all to myself Kurapika...I've wanted this for so long so I won't hold back what I'm feeling."
"You've always had me to yourself." Kurapika flushes. "I'm all yours." Another tear falls down his cheek, his chest feels so light. Kurapika has never felt this happy.
"Why are you crying Kurapika?" Leorio wipes his tears away, those brown eyes looking at him with concern and love. Kurapika wants to cry more.
"Because I'm happy Leorio." Kurapika wipes at his eyes, stopping his tears before he wraps his arms around Leorio's neck pulling him in for a sensual kiss, his body warming from the contact, all his senses on fire. The blonde blinks when he feels something wet on his cheek again. He opens his eyes, seeing the large male with tears running down his face.
"N-Now you got me going. It's all your fault!" Leorio wipes his eyes quickly, sniffling. "I just.. I really thought you were going to be at least weirded out...I could have never guessed you would return my feelings. I've been telling myself for years that this would never happen. It's surreal."
"I'm real Leorio and what's happening is real. I should have just spoke my feelings but I'm glad it's turned out this way..." Kurapika runs his hands through Leorio's hair just the way he use to day dream about doing before he pulls him into a more heated kiss, their lips moving against each other desperately as if their kiss is air. The blonde's whole body feels on fire when Leorio's tongue enters his mouth and gentle caresses his tongue, his strong hands gripping his waist. They cling to each other like they're life itself. Leorio mumbling something that Kurapika can't understand as he places kisses all over his face before moving to his neck, sucking tenderly there, getting the blonde to arch into him, groaning. Leorio growls, picking up Kurapika as he had in the morning and carrying him over to the bed. He lays the blonde down, hovering over him, his chest heaving. Those brown orbs are glossed over in lust.
"You don't know how many times I've thought about this...You're more beautiful then any fantasy." Leorio kisses him passionately before pulling back, panting slightly. "But...I don't want to rush this." Leorio rubs his thumb over Kurapika's flushed cheek tenderly. "This is a lot and I don't want to do anything that will ruin this. Also you've had a long day today. You look exhausted. What I want to do to you will only make you more tired out."
"Shameful." Kurapika's face is too red, and his breathing uneven. He closes his eyes trying to think straight. "...But yes we shouldn't rush this. My head is buzzing. This is all a lot. Let's not get too carried away. Lets sleep on this and see how we feel then."
"Okay..." Leorio gets off of Kurapika, taking deep breathes as he gets off the bed and turns off the lights. He moves back to the bed to get in the covers. Kurapika can still hear his heart in his ears. I really almost had sex with Leorio. Kurapika feels like he's drunk. His brain buzzing nicely from all the feelings he has. "You uh...want to cuddle?" Leorio asks awkwardly, grinning slightly in the darkness.
"You don't have to ask." Kurapika moves so he's laying his head on Leorio's chest, listening to his fast heart beat as those strong arms wrap around him. The blonde melts in the other man's hold, almost sighing when Leorio starts to play with his hair.
"I still can't believe it..." Leorio chuckles to himself. "I thought I really messed up kissing you but that...has to be the best thing I've ever done."
"I have to agree." Kurapika chuckles, loving how they can go back to being like this.
"Don't' be cheeky about it." Leorio grins, nuzzling his head against Kurapika's. "...what are you thinking about Kurapika?"
"...I'm just thinking how happy I am." Kurapika smiles to himself, closing his eyes, feeling himself doze off from being in this warm embrace.
"Are we going to tell the kids?" Leorio jokes, squeezing Kurapika in his arms.
"I think we're going to have to dear." Kurapika teases back, smirking slightly.
"That's going to an interesting topic of discussion." Leorio chuckles as he places happy little kisses all over Kurapika's face. The blonde just rejoices in every kiss and touch. This is it. This is what he's been wanting.
He's gotten his happy ending.
Gon wakes up feeling energized, his eyes open right away, his eyelids not feeling heavy. Gon sighs, his body sunk in the mattress and something warm and firm pressed against his face. Gon glances over to see Killua's back is what's pressed against his cheek. The ex-assassin is turned away from him but his legs are tangled in Gon's one leg that's kicked out in an odd angle. Gon beams, his heart doing that flutter it always does when he's around Killua as he turns his body to face Killua, nuzzling his cheek against his back. Gon didn't have a nightmare last night and today just feels good, like it's going to be interesting or really fun. Gon feels excited.
"Killua good morning!" Gon climbs up Killua, pulling himself out of the ex-assassin's leg lock so he's on top his friend's side. He gives Killua's exposed cheek a kiss, the flesh there turning pink instantly.
"Good morning." Killua mumbles. Gon can see the smile tugging at his friend's lips when Killua pushes him off. The ex-assassin turns his body, giving Gon a quick peck on the forehead getting the younger male to beam, his body warming from being so close to his best friend. He likes when Killua looks at him with those purple orbs, that smile on his lips. Now they're in bed, both laying on their sides, facing each other. Killua is the first to look away from Gon's gaze, his cheeks tinting. "What?"
"Nothing." Gon chuckles, feeling too hyper and happy. He can tell today is going to be a really good day. Maybe this is the day I get Killua to confess! Gon reaches out and starts to twirl Killua's hair between his fingers. "You have amazing hair Killua. It's so soft. You should let me do your hair again sometime."
"Maybe you could put my hair up or something before we go out to the beach." Killua offers, glancing away and shrugging like he's indifferent but Gon caught how his eyes lit up a little bit.
"Okay! I'm going to wait on taking a shower since I'm just going to get dirty anyway. Maybe we could take a bath together later today Killua!" Gon sits up in bed, grinning, already starting on setting his trap.
"Maybe." Killua grunts as he gets out of bed, stretching his body back, his shirt lifting up revealing more of that pale skin. Gon has the urge to touch it as he stands up with his friend, smiling.
"I have a feeling today is going to be really fun! We get to swim together and fish and make sand castles and get sea shells!" Gon walks over to the dresser to get his swimming trunks. He grabs the trunks before he glances back at Killua catching his friend staring at him. He smiles at his friend who's eyes seem brighter than they were, an excitement there as well.
"Yeah it's been awhile since we've been able to do something like this. I wonder if the enemy is going to make a move." Killua seems to think about something as he moves to get his swimming trunks. Gon takes off his boxers, slipping on his trunks soon after. When he looks at Killua, the ex-assassin is bringing his trunks up, Gon getting a glimpse of the paler flesh of his hips before it's out of his sight. "I'm going to bring the book with us to the beach. I'm sure Kurapika will have something to put it in."
"Yeah." Gon doesn't' really hear what Killua is saying as he pulls off his shirt, revealing that beautiful skin and muscles that he adores. Killua flips his hair back, those purple orbs of his narrowed in his thinking. Killua's being sexy right now...I feel warm and I want to touch him...I have to fight back!
Gon's eyes flash with determination, he bites his lip, tearing his eyes away from Killua. What should I do? What feels sexy?
"Gon are you listening?" Killua's annoyed voice gets Gon to blink. He looks over at Killua to see him with his hands on his hips.
"No. Sorry Killua I didn't hear what you were saying." Gon frowns. Now Killua's annoyed. Maybe I am still at a disadvantage.
"Where do you go?" Killua pokes him on the forehead before sighing. "Pretty much I said I'm going to bring the book with us. We'll probably have to take turns watching over it at the beach so if the enemy shows we'll be alert to it."
"Oh yeah sounds good. I hope they don't show up at the beach though. I want to enjoy it with you." Gon smiles though there is an excitement in him when he thinks of getting to fight someone. He won't hold back either. This person has framed him and stolen Clover. Gon ruffles up his hair, his eyes filled with a fire. Killua watches him, his expression changing and he smiles that smile of his that gets Gon's heart to flutter.
"Yeah, yeah so why don't you put up my hair now? I'm sure Kurapika and Leorio are already up and getting ready." Killua flops himself down on the bed.
"Okay." Gon smiles going to get a brush and a pony tail. He jumps on the bed, hopping behind Killua. He blinks when he thinks of something. "Hey maybe we could help Kurapika and Leorio get together today?" Gon starts by brushing Killua's locks, gently getting out any knots that are in the way. Killua leans into his touch and subtly, Killua has moved closer so his back is touching Gon's chest. It's a little too close to work with but Gon figures out a way to work around it since he likes the feeling.
"pssh I still can't get over that. Kurapika and Leorio?" Killua scoffs. "I don't know what we can do Gon. I think we should just let Kurapika deal with it."
"Yeah but..." Gon frowns. Kurapika has helped me so much with my feelings for Killua...I should do the same somehow. I wish I knew more about this. Maybe there's books on this kind of stuff? Gon doesn't like reading too much, it's boring but if it could help Kurapika he would do it. Maybe there's a book on how to be sexy too? "Hey Killua do you think there's a book on how to be sexy?"
"Why?" Killua tenses slightly as Gon continues to bush his hair. Gon wouldn't have noticed if Killua wasn't leaning against his chest.
"Hmm I guess I want to learn how to be sexy." Gon mumbles as he puts the brush down and starts working Killua's hair back, his nails scrapping against the scalp.
"Who do you want to be sexy for?" Killua's voice sounds strange. His body is stiff too, his shoulders tense. He's even moved away from him a bit. Gon frowns, he lets go of his hair to grab him by the shoulders, pulling the ex-assassin back and giving those tense shoulders a squeeze. Geez, Killua could really use a massage. His shoulders have knots in them.
"Don't move Killua when I'm working on your hair." Gon squeezes Killua's shoulders, trying to relax him. "I just want to know how to get a guy's attention. I'm new to being gay and I didn't know much about being sexy for girls either." Gon smiles sheepishly.
"How to get a guy's attention huh?" Killua mumbles, his shoulders haven't relaxed at all. "Being yourself already attracts too much attention, why do you need more?" Killua sounds angry. "will you just tell me who you like already?"
"Sorry I can't. Not yet." Gon swallows down his words. Killua is getting angry because he's jealous isn't he? "Why do you sound mad Killua?"
"Because." Killua takes a deep breath, crossing his arms. It's strange because Killua sounds angry but the ex-assassin is leaning into his touch and getting closer to him at the same time. "I told you. This is our vacation. You shouldn't be focused on some guy you like. This is our vacation." He repeats.
"So you don't like me liking someone?" Gon presses as he puts Killua's hair into a pony tail. He wraps his arms around the ex-assassin, hugging him from behind. "Why is that Killua?" Gon can't help the smile as he whispers this in Killua's ear.
"I just told you!" Killua's voice wavers. "It's because...this is our vacation. You should be focus on us and not some guy."
But what if that some guy is you? "Okay...I guess I understand Killua." Gon sighs as he nuzzles Killua's head. "Just don't be mad at me. I don't like it."
"...I wasn't angry." Killua relaxes In Gon's hold. "Just irritated I guess. Just forget about that guy." Killua leans his head back, kissing the bruise he left on Gon's neck last night. "You have me don't you?"
Gon's heart skips a beat, his eyes widening as he looks down at Killua. The ex-assassin's face gets flushed and in a blink of an eye he's away from Gon, standing near the door. "S-So lets go huh? I'm sure Kurapika and Leorio are waiting on us." Gon watches Killua walk over towards the bed to take the red book from under his pillow, not looking at Gon.
When Killua had kissed his neck just then he nibbled at it, those purple eyes holding an emotion that excited Gon, his body felt warm. Then Killua had to say those words after doing that. Killua is close to confessing...I feel it. Gon decided not to push it now. Killua might try to run off or lie his way around what he said so Gon just gets up, smiling at his friend who's blushing.
"You're right. I do have you Killua and I'm happy. I'm so happy that you're still by my side."Gon beams, Killua tenses, his face getting redder. Gon runs up to him to grab his hand, his heart is beating faster. "Lets go Killua."
"Yeah." Killua mumbles but there's a relief in him and those purple orbs have that light that Gon adores. He loves everything about Killua. His best friend is amazing.
Killua is all his and Gon is all Killua's. I know this but you don't...not yet. Killua hurry up and admit it. Gon rubs his thumb against Killua's hand. You love me.
"I've been sleeping really good lately." Gon muses as they walk out of the hotel room together. "I felt really good waking up today. Doesn't it feel like something interesting is going to happen?"
"Yeah I know what you mean. I had the same feeling." Killua glances over at his friend, his blush leaving him. "That's why I was saying we should be prepared. This would be the perfect day for the enemy to attack."
"Yeah we'll deal with him when he comes-" Gon starts off only to stop when a sharp pain is felt in his stomach. Gon flinches, having to bite his lip to stop himself from guarding his stomach. He'll just walk off the pain without alerting Killua but it's hard. It feels like someone has just punched him in the stomach and are now kneading their fist into his flesh. It's more painful then it was yesterday.
When the pain first came Gon had squeezed Killua's hand as a reflex. The ex-assassin glances over at him, staring at his friend.
"...Are you okay Gon? You look a little red in the face." Killua reaches over and puts a hand on his forehead, Killua's eyebrows scrunch up. "You feel warm. You're having a fever again."
"Ne i'm fine Killua. Really." Gon smiles but when he feels another pang of pain he can't help his wince. Killua glares at him, those eye narrowing.
"Oh no you don't. You're having that pain in your stomach again aren't you? And you're getting a fever. Don't try to hide this from me Gon! I told you not to do that." Killua scolds, grabbing Gon's face so he's looking at him when those amber eyes shifted away from him.
"But I don't want to have to lay in bed Killua. I want to have fun with everyone. It's not that bad really." Gon pouts, looking his friend in the eyes. The ex-assassin's expression softens as he rubs his thumb against Gon's cheek.
"But you're in pain. I saw you wince Gon."
"I don't feel it anymore." Gon takes Killua's hand and puts it on his stomach, pushing his stomach with Killua's hand. The pain really did just fade away. And he's starting to feel cool again. "See? I'm okay Killua. I can still swim!"
"...your fever is going down too." Killua states as he feels on his forehead again. Killua frowns, something bothering him as he looks at Gon in concern. "...Okay you can swim but you're getting some medicine from Leorio and you're going to tell him about how your stomach just started hurting."
"Okay." Gon agrees. He flushes when Killua keeps his hand on his stomach, starting to rub his hand in a circular motion. Gon lets Killua touch his stomach, enjoying the attention. The ex-assassin glances at Gon's expression, his cheeks tinting slightly at how Gon's looking at him.
"...Just don't over do it today idiot. If your stomach starts hurting you're going to sit down for a minute." Killua mumbles as he pulls away from Gon, putting his hands on his hips. "Got it?"
"Osu." Gon makes a stance, a lopsided smile on his face earning him a playful shove.
"If I was your master I would make you rest today so you better be glad I'm not." Killua grunts only for his face to get red after he says this.
"Hey you two, what are you doing just standing around?"Gon looks over to see Leorio and Kurapika walking down the hall towards them. Leorio's voice was loud and bright. There's a large grin on his lips...Even Kurapika has a smile on his face that seems different.
"We were on the way to see if you guys were ready." Gon smiles, beaming at his friends. "Are you guys ready to go to the beach?"
"Yes and I packed us all towels and sunscreen." Kurapika points to the bag that's hanging off his shoulder. "I'll take the book." Kurapika holds out his hand. Killua gives it to him without a word. They watch as Kurapika shoves it into the bag, digging deep so it's under everything. "Someone will have to be on the blanket at all times with it. So we'll take turns."
"That's what I was thinking." Killua nods. Gon feels an excitement in him when Killua puts his hand into Gon's first. He gives Killua a squeeze of encouragement. Gon is getting closer and closer to his goal. "Gon's stomach started hurting again just a moment ago and he got a fever again. It's gone now but do you have any medication you can give him?"
"Ah your stomach is hurting today too?" Leorio frowns, his eyebrows furrowing. "Here hold this." Leorio throws the blanket he was carrying to Killua who gets hit in the face with it since he only has one hand. The ex-assassin grumbles but he holds the blanket as Leorio opens up his suit case. "I have some pain meds you can take."
"Okay..." Gon starts to feel cramps in his stomach again but it's not as strong as the pain he felt earlier. His vision gets a little hazy and Leorio's voice is coming in and out. Gon keeps himself still, waiting for this to pass. It does quickly, just in time for Leorio to hand him a couple of blue pills. Gon didn't hear what Leorio said these are but he takes them from his friend and pops them into his mouth, swallowing with ease. He trusts whatever his friend gives him.
Gon can see Kurapika staring at him, his face is blank but there's a worry in those gray eyes as he watches Gon. The raven haired male gives him a smile to reassure him. Gon's sure this pain he's experiencing has something to do with the curse. Maybe he should be more afraid. Maybe he should feel restless but he's not. He knows that he's going to get this guy and stop this curse. Soon enough this man will come for his book and then they'll have him.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay to swim?" Leorio asks, taking the blanket from Killua.
"Yes I'll be fine." Gon smiles.
"I already told him if his stomach starts hurting again he's going to sit down for awhile. I'll be keeping an eye on him." Killua states those purple orbs glancing over at Gon, giving him a look.
"I'm really okay though." Gon mumbles stubbornly, kicking at the floor.
"Yeah right." Killua grunts grabbing Gon's cheek and pulling.
"Ow Killuaaa." Gon whines trying to get away from Killua's prying hand, while still keeping a hold of his other hand.
"Now that the gang is all here...You ready to tell them?" Leorio grins nervously over at Kurapika, the blonde's cheeks tinting.
"...Yes I am."
"Tell us what?" Gon and Killua say at the same time, turning their heads to look at the older males. Gon's eyes widen and his chest feels light when he sees Leorio grab Kurapika's hand. He pulls it up to his lips and kisses it, getting Kurapika to flush.
"Kurapika and I...we're together." Leorio boasts proudly, his cheeks tinted as well as he looks at their two friends.
"What?!" Killua and Gon shout at the same time. Killua with a face of disbelief while Gon with sparkling eyes.
"Yay this is great! Leorio's gay!" Gon shouts, pointing a finger at the older male. "You two are together! That's wonderful Kurapika! I'm so happy for you." Gon looks like he's about to hop on the walls, staring at his two friends with awe. A couple of people who just walked up the stairs look over at them only to quickly walk away.
"Don't go shouting that Gon!" Leorio flushes giving his friend a glare but his smile hasn't left his lips.
"I can't believe it. You two? I'd never see this coming. Even seeing it, I still don't believe it." Killua blinks, staring at the new couple. His eyes narrow at Kurapika. "You move on fast huh?"
"It turns out we've been hiding the same feelings for each other for years now. I didn't expect this to happen either honestly but I'm glad it did." Leorio smiles to himself. "I'm a happy man."
"It has really always been Leorio that I've had feelings for." Kurapika averts his gaze from Killua. "So I hope this won't be too weird for you two."
"Not at all! You two are dating now that's amazing! I like it." Gon smiles, gushing over them.
"It's weird but I'm fine with it. It's just a little surprising but It's not like I care what you guys do." Killua shrugs before he smiles at his two friends. "As long as you're happy right?"
"See I told you they would be fine with it." Leorio grins.
"Indeed. We have amazing friends." Kurapika gives Gon a gentle smile.
"I'm glad you got your happy ending Kurapika." Gon returns the smile with a knowing look.
"Now you just have to get yours Gon." Kurapika pats him on the head.
"I'm working on it." Gon grins. They share a smile. Gon tenses when he feels a shift in the air. He looks over at Killua to see him frowning at the two. When Gon looks at him he quickly looks away. Gon had caught the curiosity in those purple eyes and a sort of hurt there. Gon frowns when Killua lets go of his hand. His bangs move out of his face showing an indifferent expression.
"Lets go to the beach, beach lets get some waves!" Leorio starts singing, wrapping his arm around Kurapika's waist, pushing him along with him. The older male a lot more bubbly than Gon's seen him ever be. At least sober. Kurapika says something as they make their way down the hotel stairs. Gon and Killua following after them. Gon offers Killua a smile but his best friend isn't looking at him. Gon frowns and looks forward. What did I do now?
"So Gon what do you want to do first?" Killua grins over at him suddenly, getting Gon to blink. Those purple orbs hold nothing.
"I want to go swimming." Gon smiles, glad Killua's back to normal. There's something eating at him though. Why did Killua look hurt a moment ago?
"Well i'm going to catch some rays first." Killua puts his arms behind his head, closing his eyes, looking indifferent. "So you can go off with Leorio and Kurapika to swim. Someone has to watch the book anyway"
"Yeah but...I wanted to swim with you." Gon frowns. He sees Killua tense a little and he turns his head away from him.
"But I want to lay out on the beach." Killua snaps. Gon blinks, he feels that pang in his chest from Killua's tone of voice. I guess I wasn't considering Killua again. I just thought he'd want to go swimming too...in that case...
"Okay then we can do that first. I'll join you." Gon smiles, not letting Killua's actions get to him. Killua's shoulders relax a bit but Gon can't see his expression. The raven haired male glances at his arms that are by his side, looking at his hand. Gon reaches over to hold it again, to feel his friend's warmth, only for Killua to shove his hands into his pockets.
"Whatever, do what you want." Killua speed walks ahead of Gon, basically skipping down the stairs. He even worms his way through Leorio and Kurapika to be the first one down the stairs.
"Watch where you're going!" Leorio yells after him with his eyebrow twitching. Kurapika glances back at Gon, a question in his eyes as the raven haired boy catches up with them. He feels like he should run after Killua but at the same time he's a little put off. "What the hell is up with him? He almost knocked us off the damn stairs."
"I think he's mad at me." Gon mumbles as he watches Killua walk out of the hotel without them. Why does he keep leaving me behind like this? I don't like when we're apart...isn't he the same? Maybe I love Killua more than he loves me...
"Did something happen?" Kurapika looks at his frown, his eyebrows furrowed. Leorio's arm is wrapped around his waist, the older male also looking back at Gon, ready to help. Seeing Leorio and Kurapika together like this, it almost seems natural. Like it's always been like this. Gon can't help to be both happy and Jealous of them. They got it right but Gon can't seem to get it right.
"I don't know. He was fine before you guys came but after I got done talking to you I saw him looking at me funny. Then he let go of my hand and he's been acting weird. He just seems mad at me but I don't know what I did."
"I didn't do anything to make him jealous did I?" Kurapika blinks, looking at Leorio. The older male shakes his head.
"No you didn't do anything. That is weird." Leorio grumbles.
"He even told me that I should go off swimming with you guys. He said he wanted to lay out on the beach. When I said I would do that with him he just shrugged it off and then left like you saw him do. I guess he's getting tired of me." Gon feels hurt. Killua has always wanted to do things with him. Even when he's mad he usually gets over it quickly and they can do stuff together. Killua has done this before in the past. He never goes off too far though. Gon didn't like it when he was younger and he still doesn't' like it now.
"I don't think that's it Gon. You should just ask Killua what's wrong." Kurapika and Leorio move over so Gon can walk next to Kurapika.
"I will. I hope he'll tell me and not act like it didn't happen." Gon's amber eyes shift once they reach the bottom floor. "Hey Kurapika, Leorio do you guys love each other equally?"
"Where did that come from?" Leorio and Kurapika stop walking to look over at Gon, both speaking at the same time.
"I'm just curious." Gon smiles at his friends when he sees their blushes.
"Hmm..." Leorio narrows his eyes at Kurapika.
"I'm not sure. We just know that we love each other. There's no real way to measure love so it's impossible to know if it's equal to someone else." Kurapika answers, locking eyes with Gon. "There's just love and people show it in different ways and it can mean different things."
"Yeah that's true. I guess it's something we'll never know." Leorio stops straining after Kurapika's words, scratching his cheek.
"What are you guys doing? Hurry up!" Killua opens the door to shout at them, those purple orbs don't look at Gon.
"We're coming, we're coming." Leorio grunts as they all start walking towards the door. "Just talking." Killua's eyes narrow at that slightly and then he's gone. "Now what's his problem." Leorio mumbles.
"Killua." Gon frowns, walking faster till he's jogging after his friend. Once out of the hotel he looks around. He finds Killua walking away with his hands in his pockets towards the beach. Gon runs till he catches up with him, walking by his side. Killua doesn't say anything to him as Gon stares at his best friend, trying to look at his face but those bangs are getting in the way. "Did I do something wrong?"
"I don't know, did you do something wrong?" Killua glances at Gon from the corner of his eyes, his face stone.
"I don't know." Gon frowns, trying to think of something he did but nothing is coming up. "Can't you just tell me?"
"It's such a nice day out isn't it Gon?" Killua smiles up at the sky, not making eye contact with him any more.
"Killua." Gon's eyebrows furrow as they walk down the stairs, their feet sinking into sand once they reach the beginning of the beach. Kurapika and Leorio are close behind. Gon feels a little bad once he realizes they're carrying all the stuff.
"Right there will be the perfect spot to set the blanket." Killua rubs his hands together. "The sun will be right on it."
"You burn easy Killua." Gon crosses his arms, not liking how Killua is completely ignoring the subject that he wants to talk about.
"Eh." Killua waves him off as they stop in the spot he wants. "Right here. Pass me the blanket old man."
"Here." Leorio grumbles as he throws the blanket he was holding with one arm to Killua. The ex-assassin lets the blanket unwrap, the wind spreading it out. Gon grabs the other side to help his friend lay it down. Kurapika places his bag on the blanket to stop it from moving.
"This is a good spot." Kurapika uses his hand to shield his eyes from the sun as he looks at the sea, there's many people already swimming, playing in the water. Kurapika glances over to the side. "It seems they even have a gym set up here."
Gon's too busy trying to get Killua to look at him to comprehend what Kurapika is saying. The ex-assassin is really being stubborn about this! Gon can't help to glare at his friend when Killua looks away from him again with that indifferent look on his face.
"Before anyone gets in, we need to put on sunscreen." Kurapika looks at everyone sternly as he opens up his bag. Gon notices that the middle of Kurapika's stomach looks a bit darker, like a bruise. That was probably caused by the circus leader. Thinking of the leader makes Gon think of the pain in his stomach. He pushes that thought to the back of his head. It's not as important as what's going on right now. He really wants to figure out what happen with Killua.
"I don't need it, I'm tanning." Killua grunts as he gets on the blanket, laying on his stomach so his back is exposed.
"Can you even tan Killua?" Gon can't help to question with a frown.
"Of course I can!" Killua grunts. "Stupid." He doesn't say it nicely. Gon glares at him before he takes the sunscreen that Kurapika was holding and walks over to Killua. Gon sits on Killua's butt so he can't get up as he squirts a bunch of the cold sunscreen on his back. "W-What the hell Gon!" Killua looks back at Gon, he's glaring at him but there's also shock written on his face and something else.
"You'll just burn if you don't have sunscreen." Gon glares back as he starts to rub the sunscreen into Killua's back.
"Get off me idiot! I said I didn't want it." Killua grinds his teeth as he tries to wiggle his way away from Gon but the raven haired male just presses on his back, holding him there. Killua's breathing is uneven and the tips of his ears are red.
"Too bad. That's what you get for being mean Killua." Gon starts to rub the sunscreen in more gently when Killua stops fighting with him. Gon's anger leaves him as he takes his time to smear the sunscreen all over Killua's back. The sunscreen almost camouflaging with his pale flesh.
Gon works it into his shoulders, rubbing on those knots he felt this morning. He presses hard with his thumbs on the knot, trying to work it out. Killua doesn't say anything while he's doing this and that's alright. Gon's in his own little world. All he's focused on right now is getting rid of those knots. Killua lets out a sigh when the knot Gon was working on finally leaves. The ex-assassin's shoulders relax as Gon continues to do this to each knot he feels. Killua's breath is hitching and his chest is heaving a bit but he still doesn't say anything or make any complainants.
Whenever Gon uses a stronger pressure on him, his back arches a bit. When Killua makes a sound Gon stops working on that knot to go lower. He rubs in the sunscreen as he works his thumbs over the tense muscles. Once he gets to the dimples in Killua's lower back he starts working his way back up, this time he rubs between the ex-assassin's spine.
The more Gon works on Killua's back, the more the ex-assassin becomes relaxed, his muscles becoming loose. Gon's ears are on high alert, taking in any sound Killua makes because of his hands. Killua's face is flushed. I wonder if Killua really like this... Gon's heart is beating faster. He can't do this for much longer or he'll get excited so he works on the last knot in Killua's shoulder quickly. Both Killua and Gon sighing when it's gone.
"There, now you won't burn." Gon gets off of his friend, flopping down beside him. Killua has his face buried in the blanket. Gon smiles. "Consider that a punishment and an apology. I don't know what I did but you better tell me later if you don't want to tell me now alright? I want to have fun with you Killua."
"O-Okay." Killua swallows thickly before he gives Gon a half-hearted glare. "You still didn't have to spray all that sunscreen on me. Now I'll never get tan."
"You burn Killua." Gon chuckles when his friend gives him a look. "I like the color of your skin anyway."
"Ugh why I'm so white." Killua mumbles, glaceing away from his friend. "Tan is where it's at. It's beautiful."
"Yes, you're really white but it's amazing. It's like the moon's light. Soft and white and fragile. You have this certain glow to you Killua." Gon smiles, his heart lifting now that they're having a normal conversation again. "I like everything about you Killua. You shouldn't feel like you have to change. You're already beautiful."
Gon watches Killua's eyes light up at Gon's words, that blush spreading across his nose before he looks out towards the sea, the wind blowing his hair making it a sight to behold. "I guess I don't need a tan." Killua mumbles.
"Nope." Gon smiles as he looks out towards the sea. He blinks when he sees Leorio and Kurapika are already in the water. When did that happen? I guess I was really focused on giving Killua a massage. "I was going to say lets get in the water but it looks like we are on bag duty." Gon grins over at Killua to find the ex-assassin already staring at him.
"Yeah." Killua looks out towards the sea again. "You know you could get in right? I'll still be here to watch the bag."
"I want to stay with you." Gon smiles when Killua looks over at him in surprise.
"It's boring just laying here though. Don't you want to go have fun?"
"I am having fun. I'm with Killua." Gon's heart flutters when he sees how his words effect Killua. The ex-assassin's whole expression changes, his lips slightly part, they tremble, those wide beautiful purple eyes taking him in. They stare at each other, purple staring into amber. The wind blows between them, ruffing their hair. The pink in Killua's cheeks are tempting. Gon wants to kiss those lips that are trembling. He wants to run his fingers through his hair and kiss him senseless. His heart is beating too fast and he feels warm. Killua glances at Gon's lips before he quickly looks away, breaking the moment they were having.
Gon can't help to pout. Was he about to kiss me? If so this might be my chance to push. Gon gets closer so their shoulders are touching. "Are you having fun Killua?"
Killua mumbles something. When Gon asks him what he's saying he huffs. "Of course I am idiot." Killua flushes, getting Gon to smile.
"I'm glad." Gon lays his head down on the blanket, burying his face in the cool fabric. "You know when you went off without me the thought crossed my mind that you didn't want to hang out with me. I thought maybe you were getting tired of me." Gon feels a dull pain in his chest. "I'd rather you be angry with me than that."
"I could never get tired of you Gon." Killua chuckles lightly like it's the most obvious thing in the world. "There's always something going on with you. No I'd never get bored with you. Even doing things like this I..." Killua trails off. He rubs the back of his head.
"Well, when you run off like that it makes me think you are tired of me or you don't want to be around me. I'd rather you be angry and with me instead of angry and away."
"...Sorry. I was just throwing a fit." Killua mumbles, his shoulders slumping a bit but he seems defensive.
"No it's fine. I'm just happy we're okay now. Later I want to know what I did." Gon blinks when he hears whistling. He looks over to see a bunch of muscular men lifting weights. They have a small gym set up and around the gym are seats for people to sit in. Most of the sits are taken up by women who are cheering the men on and whistling at them. Wow they look really big. They must be body builders-
Killua is suddenly in front of him, blocking his view of the body builders. "They're' nothing special." He grunts, glaring over at the men, looking irritated. "I could lift more than all of them."
"I know you could." Gon smiles. "They're huge though!"
"Too big. Gross." Killua stands up, brushing off his shorts. "I don't look like a meat head but I have more strength than all those muscles combined." Gon blinks as he watches Killua walk over to the gym. Some of the girls whistle at Killua but it doesn't bother him. Killua's eyes are trained on him. Gon watches as Killua stretches, flexing his muscles as he does so. Killua shakes his head, his hair moving revealing the earrings for a moment and the light bruise that's on Killua's neck from Gon's 'good night' kisses. Gon feels a little hot now.
"Hey what are you doing? A small fry like you can't be on here." One of the large males growls at Killua, a vein sticking out of his head. He looks angry the girls are showing Killua some attention.
"Oh really?" Killua smirks over at the male, his eyes searching the equipment. He points at a metal pole that holds two large metal triangles on it. "How much does that weigh?"
" One ton" The male smirks. "What? You think you can handle that?" The male pushes on Killua. Gon gets up, not liking how this man is looking down on Killua. "You're just a punk who doesn't know his place-"
"That's not true! Killua can handle lifting that no problem!" Gon shouts over at them, glaring at the man. "Show them Killua!"
"Who the hell are you?" The large male grunts, another vein popping out of his head.
"I'm Killua's best friend." Gon beams, coming closer to the field with the bag on his shoulder.
"I got this Gon." Killua waves his friend off but he is smiling, smirking. Killua moves pass the large male, bumping his shoulder as he walks over to the large weight. The large male looks like he's about to yell only for a smirk to come to his lips.
"You're going to break your back Kid you mind as well stop while you're ahead."
"Go Killua!" Gon cheers from the side lines, smiling at his friend. He feels warm again when Killua looks at him. Killua doesn't pay the girls cheering at him any mind. He just stares at Gon, those purple eyes get half lidded for a moment before he gives Gon a thumbs up. Killua never looks away as he grabs the pole and lifts up with his legs. His feet sink into the sand but he's able to lift it above his head, the muscles of his arms flexed. Killua holds it there, staring into Gon's eyes, barely breaking a sweat. The longer he holds it the more Gon can see some struggle. Killua places it down as he jumps out of the hole he made in the sand. He stretches his arms, those purple orbs trapping him there. Gon feels his face get hot. It almost felt like...Killua was doing that all for him. He was looking at him to make sure he was watching. And he keeps flexing his muscles and flipping his hair in a way that makes Gon feel weak in the knees.
"What the fuck?" The large male gasps. He stares at Killua in disbelief but when he sees all the women are cooing over him now his eye twitches. The large male stops when he sees Killua isn't paying attention to the women but to Gon. The large male is closer to Gon than Killua and can see the blush on his dark skin. "Oh I get it. You guys are fags and this is your bitch." The large guy starts to laugh getting Gon to look over at him. His eyebrows furrow in confusion as this man walks closer to him.
"Fags?" Gon tilts his head, not knowing what that means. He glares slightly though because with the way the guy said it he's sure it's not a good thing.
"Hey faggot why don't you come over here and I'll give you a dick you can choke on-" this man makes a lewd moment with his hips. In a blink of an eye Killua is standing before him. He grabs this man by the throat and lifts him off the ground like he's nothing. Gon can't see Killua's face right now, his back is turned to him, but the expression must be frightening because the large male's face has gone pale, those pupils constricting in fear.
"If you ever come near him again, call him a faggot or even look at him i'll rip out your throat. You understand me?" Killua's voice is calm and dark. The large male who is turning blue nods his head. Killua lets him go. "You're lucky. If not for him I would have killed you. It would have been a pleasure hearing you scream." Killua doesn't have to say anymore. The large male gets up and runs away quickly, yelling out of fear for his life. Gon watches him go before looking back at Killua. The ex-assassin takes a deep breath before he looks back at Gon. "Lets get away from here Gon." Killua starts walking towards the blanket, Gon walking by his side.
"You really scared him." Gon says once they're back on the blanket, Gon places the bag down that he had brought with him.
"Believe me he deserved more than that. I would have enjoyed ending his life." Killua grips his fists, he glares darkly at the sand. "Damn I'm still pissed. He called you a faggot and then taunted you by making a lewd comment." Killua's eyes narrow.
"Wow faggot must be something horrible to say if you're so angry." Gon frowns when he thinks that man called Killua one too.
"A faggot is a word that people call someone who is gay. Faggot is just an ignorant word. It's mean spirited. No one is going to talk to you like that Gon. Gay or not." Killua takes a deep breath but he seems to be getting madder. "And then! And then that guy has the balls to say you'll choke on his dick. He's sick." Killua grips his fists.
"Why would I choke on that anyway?" Gon's eyebrows furrow. Killua tenses before he shakes his hands. "I would never have that in my mouth."
"Yeah I know that. He was being ignorant by saying it as something you'd like or something you'd done before." Killua growls. "You're as pure as they come Gon and that just pisses me off." His cheeks are flushed.
"Do gay people usually put dicks in their mouths?" Gon tilts his head, thinking about it. I wonder how that would feel...
"W-What? No!...well...sometimes, I don't know. Not just gay people, straight couples too. It's called a blow job. And people do it when they really like someone and want to make them feel good..." Killua mumbles, his face getting redder when Gon looks at him in curiosity. "D-Don't say dick again Gon."
"Why do they do it? Does it feel good? I never really thought about it but I guess it can go in someone's mouth."
"I wouldn't know. But I-I heard it feels good." Killua glances at Gon's lips for a moment before looking away, the blush reaching his ears. "Can we stop with this conversation?"
"Hmm a blow job..." Gon thinks to himself. It feels really good? I wonder how you do it. Does it just go in your mouth? Do you bite it? Is there a special way to do it? Now Gon's interested. "I want to learn how to do it."
"E-Excuse me?!" Killua squeaks, Gon's sure he's never seen Killua so red. He's looking at him with his mouth wide open, his eyes wide. He looks like a fish out of water. "Did you s-seriously just say that!"
"Well...yeah. You said it feels good and I've never heard of something like it. I'm curious." Gon smiles at Killua with no shame. " I wonder if there's a book on it or something? I wonder if Kurapika knows anything about this because he's gay. Maybe I could ask him to teach me-"
"Hell no! You're not asking anyone how to do that!" Killua seems ruffled up. "If you want to learn then i'll teach you." Killua's breath hitches...he swallows down thickly, his face so red. "...I'll teach you if you want."
"You know how?" Gon tilts his head.
"Not really but I've...read about it and stuff." Killua huffs, crossing his arms. "I'm pretty sure I could...teach you what I know."
"Okay I'd like that." Gon smiles. Killua's going to teach me how to do it! I wonder if he's going to show me the books or just explain how it's done?
Killua looks red all over, Gon's starting to worry he's gotten burnt when he takes a deep breath. He grabs at his trunks before he puts the bag on his lap. He starts digging in the bag before he throws Gon another bottle of sunscreen. "Put that on." Killua mumbles to himself, his blush still at his ears. His voice sounds lower then it was before. Gon feels his stomach twist in that way it does. Again he feels hot.
"Kay." Gon hums to himself feeling happy. Killua isn't angry at him anymore. The ex-assassin seemed to be flexing and looking sexy just for him at the gym and Killua defended him when Gon didn't know what that guy was saying. To top it off, Killua is going to teach him how to blow job. I really like Killua and I want to make him feel good. This day seems to be turning for the better!
"Alright you two can go in now." Leorio grins as he walks from the sea towards the blanket, Kurapika by his side. They looked like they were laughing about something before coming towards them.
"Sorry for running off first but Gon seemed to be preoccupied with something." Kurapika smiles knowingly getting Killua to flush again.
"So what have you guys been doing? Just chilling up here? Can you hand us a towel?" Leorio hugs Kurapika close to him when he saw the blonde shiver a bit. Gon watches the two, taking in every detail. He might be able to use this later.
"Pretty much." Killua hands them two towels. The older males dry off together before Leorio uses the towel to pull Kurapika towards him. It seems that out of the two Leorio is the more affectionate one. At least out in public. Kurapika flushes but he smiles all the same. He really looks happy. Gon's glad. He doesn't want to see that lonely look in Kurapika's eyes again.
"Hey Killua lets go swimming now!" Gon beams after he's finished rubbing the lotion on his chest and arms. He doesn't care about the rest of his body, not when the sea is right in front of him. The excited teenage boy grabs Killua's arm and pulls him up, knocking the bag to the side. He pulls Killua with him as they run down the sand towards the waves that are crashing. Gon doesn't stop till he feels his feet get covered with water. Gon lets go of Killua, taking a deep breath of the sea air. It reminds him of home.
"Why'd you stop?" Killua elbows Gon's shoulder, snapping him out of his look of longing. Killua is giving him a grin. "I thought you wanted to swim!" Killua suddenly shoves Gon right into an oncoming wave. Gon goes under, getting slammed into the sand. He comes up quickly, glaring at Killua but when he sees the playful smirk on Killua's face, Gon can't help to grin.
"That's for the sunscreen." Killua chuckles when Gon gets hit by another wave he didn't see coming because he was too focused on the ex-assassin.
"I'll get you back Killua!" Gon shouts when he comes back up, running after Killua. The ex-assassin side steps him and runs straight into the sea, going deeper in till the waves are close enough that Killua can jump over them with ease. The water is up to his chest. Gon runs after Killua, not having as much luck with the waves. He's pushed back a couple of times before he's able to make it where Killua is.
"I'm waiting." Killua smirks only for Gon to make a battle cry, jumping up in the air and tackling Killua. Gon's able to push him down half way before Killua struggles with him. Killua chunks Gon in the air, right into another wave that goes over his head. Gon puffs his cheeks out under water, already hearing Killua laughing at him. Gon follows his friend's laughter, staying under water. He pushes off on the sand and tackles Killua's waist, dragging him under. Gon Jumps up and starts hopping away from where he dunked Killua, a victorious grin on his face.
The ex-assassin comes up, spitting out water that had gotten in his mouth from laughing when he was dragged under. Killua narrows his eyes at Gon, a smirk on his lips as he starts to swim towards Gon slowly, just his eyes and his nose peaking up out of the water. Those eyes are playful and predatory. Slanted and dangerous. He's like a shark.
Gon immediately knows Killua is planning something and he's in trouble. He hops away from Killua a couple of steps before he jumps into the water and starts swimming deeper into the sea, ridding up the waves when they come. Gon's heart is beating in anticipation, that excited feeling you get when you're being chased. It's more pleasant when you know there isn't any danger to your life.
Gon glances back only for his stomach to twist when he sees how close Killua is, those eyes have a knowing glint in them. Gon starts to giggle, feeling giddy as he swims faster. The raven haired male knows he can out swim the ex-assassin. Gon grew up in the water, swimming and fishing in it. Gon close his eyes and goes under water when Killua's about to grab him. He swims quickly under water, using his feet to propel him and his arms as support. He keeps his cheeks puffed out. Once's he's been swimming for 5 minutes straight he comes up to get some air and to see how far away he's gotten from Killua.
Killua is a few yards away, his eyes slightly wide and searching the water. When Gon comes up he had locked eyes with him and blinked. Wow I got really far away. Gon's aware now that he can't touch the sand anymore and the shore looks far away.
"Damn!" Killua groans in defeat. "What are you a fish? I give up." Killua throws his hands in the air, huffing.
"Yay." Gon cheers as he starts to doggie paddle his way to Killua, riding the waves to get there faster. "Too bad Killua I'm in my element." Gon grins once he gets to Killua only for a mischievous smile to come to his lips. Killua pushes Gon down into the water. "Hey! You said you give up!" Gon pops back up giving Killua a pout.
"I said I gave up on chasing you, not getting you back." Killua winks. "You sure are in your element huh Gon?"
"Killuaa." Gon shoves him, Killua going half way under, laughing. Gon decides to jump on Killua, instead of dunking him Killua grabs a hold of him, catching him. He holds him against his chest like a baby as he starts to swim back towards the shore.
"As long as I keep you above water I have the advantage." Killua smirks. "Now you can't get away."
"I could get away if I wanted to." Gon huffs but he had instinctively wrapped his arms around Killua's neck. He feels comfortable right now so he doesn't really want to get out. But if he did he could.
"Then why don't you try it?" Killua challenges, that playful glint back to his eyes but there's something else as he looks down at Gon who's in his arms. Those eyes have that light in them, a softness.
"I will." Gon unwraps his arms around Killua's neck to use them to push against his chest, Killua just tightens his grip. The raven haired male starts to struggle, trying to wiggle out of Killua's hold but the position is kind of awkward for him. Killua isn't making it easy either. Gon remembers how Killua had lifted that large weight, staring at him with those sexy eyes, the slight strain of his muscles. Those same hands and muscles are holding him now. Gon feels hot. Killua knows how to be sexy. At this rate I'll lose.
Killua's light chuckle brings Gon back to his predicament. The raven haired male feels the breath get knocked out of him as he looks up at Killua. The ex-assassin has his eyes closed in his laughter, his white locks sticking to his cheeks, his smile large. Gon feels his heart flutter and his stomach twist. Killua surely is even more beautiful than the moon.
"What's the matter Gon? I thought you said you could get out?" Killua teases, opening his eyes. Those purple orbs are light and they're staring right at him. Those lips have never looked so tempting. Gon bites his own lip, feeling his resolve crumble a bit. Temptation getting the best of him. Just when Gon's about to admit defeat the two teenagers are knocked down by a large wave that had been creeping up behind them.
They're knocked down hard, the wave causing them to do a flip under water. The pressure is holding them down. The wave was strong enough to rip Gon from Killua's arms, Gon in a panic reaches out, wrapping his arms around Killua trying to pull him up to the surface knowing he can't stay under the water as long as him. It's so disorienting. Gon doesn't know if they're moving up or going down. He's not able to push Killua up but he takes the bunt of the hit when The wave pushes them down, skidding Gon's back against the sand and the shells.
The pressure finally is relieved and he's able to push Killua up so he can breathe. Killua stands up in the water thanks to Gon before he grabs him by his arms and lifts him up, carrying him out of the sea. The ex-assassin is panting, coughing some water out. He drops Gon when they're away from the water, Killua flopping down next to him to catch his breath.
"That...was...crazy." Killua wheezes. The ex-assassin glances over at Gon who is taking deep breathes himself.
"Yeah that wave was strong." Gon scratches his cheek. He notices that most of the people who were swimming got out when they saw the wave coming. It must have looked pretty big too. Gon starts to giggle when he thinks of Killua's look of surprise right before the wave hit. "You looked pretty scared."
"So did you." Killua chuckles, starting to join in. "as soon as the wave was about to hit we both looked at each other like 'oh shit'."
"Yeah we knew it was going to be bad." Gon chuckles more, the adrenaline rush adding to how funny it is. "The wave knocked me right out of your arms! And I kept trying to push you up but I couldn't."
"yeah I felt that." Killua grins before his smile wavers a little bit. "The wave slammed us down pretty hard. I got slammed down on top of you."
"I'm fine. It hurt a little bit but that's all." Gon gives him a thumps up before he looks back towards their blanket. Kurapika and Leorio are staring at the two with wide eyes, chatting about something. Probably about what they just saw. Gon winces when he feels an uncomfortable feeling in his pants. "Ne I got sand in my pants."
"So did I." Killua gets up, stretching his back out. "Lets go sit down for a while." Killua crosses his arms as he watches Gon get up. "Have you had any pain in your stomach?"
"Nope. Not since this morning." Gon smiles. Killua stares him in the eye before he nods.
"Alright." Killua walks by Gon's side as they make their way towards the blanket. Killua glances at Gon's hand but he doesn't grab it.
"Are you two alright?" Leorio looks at the two males in disbelief. "That was one hell of a wave!"
"We're fine." Killua waves off the older male as Kurapika hands them both a towel to dry off with.
"Yeah It was kind of fun. I wasn't expecting it." Gon chuckles as he dries off his hair and then works to dry off the rest of his body. He sits next to Kurapika, smiling when he sees how Leorio has his arm around the blonde. Nothing has really changed since they're together. Except for the touching.
"Of course it was fun." Leorio shakes his head, chuckling.
"Leorio and I are going to take a walk if that's alright. I'll leave the bag with you Killua. Once we get back we were thinking we could take showers at the bath house and head to the 'Lazy man' restaurant that's down the beach. We won't need to get a change of clothes, they give everyone a robe to eat in." Kurapika hands Gon the pamphlet pointing at where it talks about the restaurant. "It has 5 stars so we figured we mind as will check it out while we're around here." Kurapika smiles at the two boys.
"That sounds good I'm getting hungry." Gon rubs his stomach.
"Yeah me too." Killua watches Gon's smile, his lips turning with his.
"I also found something else out that you'll be interested in Gon." Kurapika smiles at his friend when he looks at him. "apparently tomorrow is the fishing competition. They'll be having it here. Anyone is allowed to be in it. It starts pretty early, 6 in the morning. The flier said that it will be explained more tomorrow."
"Yes! I'm defiantly going to be a part of it!" Gon's eyes light up, getting excited. He smiles at everyone. "Will you join in too?"
"I don't know, 6 is pretty early." Leorio mumbles rubbing the back of his head. "I'm not the best at fishing either."
"I'll join you Gon. I'm not much of a fisher but I think it will be fun." Kurapika smiles.
"I'm doing it. I've been working on my fishing skills. I might be able to surpass you Gon." Killua gives him a challenging look, those eyes playful once again.
"I won't lose to you Killua!" Gon points at him, those amber eyes determined.
"Well I guess I am going to the fishing thing." Leorio grunts, glancing over at Kurapika. When he sees the blonde give him a knowing smile, Leorio's cheeks tint and he glares away. "Just to watch."
"We're going to go take that walk now. See you." Kurapika starts to walk off with Leorio, their hands linking as they walk towards the sea and then along side it.
"That reminds me, I left my fishing rod in the hotel." Gon frowns as he watches Kurapika and Leorio go. "But I guess I don't need it right now."
"Yeah we'll be fishing plenty tomorrow." Killua sighs, wrapping the towel around his shoulders. "The week is ending. That means one of us is going to have to start paying for the week coming up." Killua glances at Gon. "How much do you have?"
"Eh enough." Gon scratches his cheek. Those earrings ate a lot of my money though. "I don't know if it's enough for a whole week though."
Killua stares at him for a moment before he runs a hand through his hair. "Looks like I'll pay for the next week. I have enough for it."
"Sounds good. I don't want this vacation to end." Gon smiles, staring off into the sky that's a light blue with fluffy clouds floating around. A beautiful day. "Everyone is having fun."
"Yeah it's been nice." Killua stares off at the sky with him.
A comfortable silence falls between them, the wind feels nice against his skin. Gon closes his eyes, taking a deep breath of the sea air. "Hey Killua have you seen anyone who look suspicious?"
"...No. Everyone seems to be normal around here. Most haven't paid us any mind." Killua answers, glancing over at him.
"I guess that guy isn't going to show up."Gon huffs, feeling slightly disappointed.
"He'll come. Maybe not today but soon." Killua cracks his knuckles, a hidden restlessness in those purple eyes. "We have the book so he'll come for it."
"Yeah. I'm just impatient." Gon sighs, leaning his head back. It's not the curse that's making him impatient. He just wants to fight someone. Gon forgets he's cursed for the most part in till he's in pain. Then he's reminded but it doesn't cause him much alarm. "While we're waiting for them to come back do you want to play in the sand?"
"Sure. Let me bury you." Killua grins. He puts the bag on his shoulder. He gets in the sand and starts digging with his hands, a grin on his lips.
"Ne I want to bury you too Killua!" Gon gets in the sand and starts digging as well. They grin at each other, the sun warming their backs. The sand is sticking to Gon's legs because they're still a little damp. The beach is packed with people, laughter and conversation can be heard all around. Gon doesn't take his eyes off the one person who means the most to him though. Gon doesn't' know what he did to make Killua mad awhile ago but he won't focus on that now. Killua is happy with him right now so that's all that matters.
Later tonight Gon will talk with him but for right now, he'll just enjoy this moment with his best friend. Gon almost gave in back there in the water. If not for the wave he may have kissed Killua. Gon was okay with losing then but now his resolve is back. I will win this. I'll learn how to fight back. I'll learn how to be sexy...I won't lose to you.
The game is still on and it's going strong.
"It almost feels too good to be true." Leorio breaks the comfortable silence between him and Kurapika as they walk across the ocean, the waves breaking and hitting their feet. Their shoulders are warm from the sun beaming above them. The water looks as if it's sparkling from the light reflecting off of it. The wind caresses their cheek like a lover. It's a scene from a romantic movie. A scene from a fairy tail. Leorio stole the words right out of Kurapika's mouth.
"I know what you mean."The blonde glances over at Leorio to see him smiling to himself. He looks back at Kurapika, that smiling growing a bit.
"I just never expected this. I could have never predicted this moment right here. Me, having my arm around you as we walk down the beach. It's perfect. And it's not just us. Gon and Killua are going to be together soon. It's only a matter of time. You saw them playing together in the water and then Killua hold him in his arms. He was flirting hard." Leorio chuckles, thinking about it all. "Everything is going amazing. I couldn't have thought my vacation would hold all of this."
Kurapika smiles at Leorio, seeing those brown orbs lighting up. But when Leorio mentioned Gon, Kurapika couldn't help to have that restless feeling in his stomach. Everything is good on the surface. This isn't a fairy tail when once you get your love it's over. No. They still have a battle to fight.
"Yeah he was. He's trying to get Gon to fall for him. What he doesn't know is that Gon already loves him. He wants Gon to come to him." Kurapika answers, licking his lips. The blonde had a resolve not to tell anyone about the curse so not to upset Leorio but Kurapika is starting to feel bad for keeping the information away from the brown haired male. There's nothing he can do. If I tell him i'll have to tell Killua and he'll throw a fit. Gon said he didn't want to tell them either...I have to stand by that now.
"I wonder who's going to give in first?" Leorio muses, pulling Kurapika closer towards him, their bare sides touching. "You know I was a little worried this morning that you would have changed your mind." Leorio looks forward.
"The same with you. I was sure it was all a dream." Kurapika says honestly. It was almost too easy but that's fine.
"Me too." Leorio seems relieved as they keep walking, they can see the pole that was next to their blanket. "They're probably starving now. We've been gone for close to an hour."
"...I don't see them." Kurapika looks towards the ocean but they're not swimming. He looks around the sand but he sees no sign of the two teenagers. It doesn't look like anyone Is on the blanket. Kurapika swallows as he lets go of Leorio's hand to start running towards the blanket. His chest gets tight when he sees the bag is also gone.
"Do you think they were attacked?" Leorio catches up, seeing the same empty blanket. He looks at Kurapika before his eyebrows furrow. "Maybe they just wondered off? It doesn't look like there was a struggle."
"Yeah...that's true." Kurapika calms down a bit, glancing around to see that everyone appears to be calm. If there was a fight things would be more chaotic. Unless this person took Killua and Gon some where else to fight? They would do it too.
"Wait a minute." Leorio narrows his eyes looking away from their blanket. "...There's a bag over there just laying in the sand...that's our bag!" Leorio runs over towards it, Kurapika behind him, he swallows down the uneasiness he feels. Leorio bites his lip as he stops in front of the bag. "...Why would they just leave this here?" Leorio picks the bag up. "I hope they're alright-"
"Leorio!" When Leorio lifted the bag up, Gon's head was under it. Just his head. He smiles brightly up at Leorio, cheering his name.
Leorio shrieks high pitched as he stumbles back and falls on his butt. Kurapika had tensed from the surprise but that was it. The blonde blinks when he hears Killua's laughter only for the ex-assassin to jump out a hole that was dug in the sand, a grin on his face.
"Oh man that was rich." Killua laughs as he walks over towards them, a smirk on his face. His body is covered in sand, his once pale skin a light brown.
"What the hell is going on here?!" Leorio shouts, standing up and pointing a finger at Gon who is looking at Leorio like he's clueless.
"We got bored after we buried each other a couple of times. That's when Killua came up with an idea! We were trying to lure the enemy out. Anyone who grabs this bag I'm suppose to tell them to stop and if they try to steal it Killua would come out and grab them." Gon beams as he wiggles in the sand. He forces an arm out of the sand, then his other arm, he uses his arms to pull himself out of the hole, his whole body covered in sand as well. "It didn't work though. No one came but you."
"You guys almost gave me a heart attack! We were worried you had gotten attacked or something geez." Leorio grumbles, glaring at Killua who is still sneakering to himself.
"It would be very unlikely that this enemy would just go for something too easy. Also you don't know if he knows where the book is." Kurapika glances over at Killua.
"Yeah. It was just something to do really. I thought It would be fun. I was hoping some poor sucker would get curious." Killua grins. "Of course it would be Leorio. I should have took a video of that."
"I didn't mean to scare you Leorio." Gon gets in front of Leorio when his face gets red and he looks like he's going to explode on Killua. Gon smiles when Leorio gives him a glare. They stare at each other for a moment before Leorio sighs, calming down.
"Whatever lets just take showers and get something to eat. I'm hungry." Leorio grumbles, marching over towards the bathhouse. Kurapika can't help to chuckle to himself, covering his mouth. Once Leorio is gone Gon giggles when Killua runs to him, they both share a laugh and a high five.
"I didn't know Leorio could make a sound like that." Gon chuckles as he walks next to Killua who has his arm around his neck, grinning.
"Me either! But what made it was so funny was the look on your face added to Leorio's reaction. You just looked so happy to see him and Leorio screamed and fell on his ass. It was just too much." Killua starts laughing again.
"I thought we were over that!" Leorio yells back, his eye twitching and his face red. "You're both traitors!"
Kurapika can't hold it in and he snorts in laughter, looking away from his boyfriend who is looking at him in disbelief, this only makes him laugh more.
" Et tu, Kurapika?" Leorio watches Kurapika laugh, a smile tugging at his lips. "You all are a bunch of traitors. Keep laughing for now but i'll get you all back." Leorio glares pointing at Killua. "Especially you."
"Oh i'm so scared." Killua taunts, his head against Gon's. "You'll be too busy smacking faces with your boyfriend."
Kurapika flushes at that, giving Killua a little glare of his own. Killua only smirks. Leorio grunts. "I can do that and still make you guys suffer."
"Ne you two should kiss!" Gon jumps in, smiling brightly, getting Kurapika to flush more. Leorio just grins though. "I want to see it!"
"G-Gon." Kurapika gives him a look only for Leorio to grab his chin.
"Let's give them what they want." Leorio grins before he leans in, stealing Kurapika's lips. His kiss is gentle but deep as he pulls on his bottom lip with his teeth. Kurapika feels all warm as he grabs onto this man for dear life. Leorio knows how to kiss. Each one takes his breath away. Kurapika forgets about the two teenagers watching when Leorio's tongue snakes into his mouth, caressing his tongue causing him to groan.
"All that is unnecessary!" Killua's eye twitches, looking slightly embarrassed.
"Wow!" Gon's voice is what breaks them apart. Kurapika flushes when he sees Gon had moved closer. Those amber orbs are bright, a determination there. "So that's how it looks."
"Gon get away from those pervs!" Killua grabs Gon and pulls him back, covering his eyes.
"But that looked like it felt really good. Kurapika got all red and he made a sound." Gon states with no shame, those amber eyes bright and innocent.
"Gon!" Kurapika almost squeaks from how embarrassed he feels right now. Even though he knows why Gon was watching them. He's trying to learn as he goes more about gay couples. Kurapika mind as well just accept the fact Gon is going to be watching them closely.
"Don't look at him." Killua huffs, looking irritated, he points a finger at the two older adults. "Don't do things like that in front of Gon."
"But I want them too." Gon blinks when Killua looks at him in disbelief before his lips tug in a frown.
"Why?"
"So I can learn." Gon smiles looking over at Leorio "You should teach me how to kiss like that!"
Kurapika watches Killua, the ex-assassin's head snaps over to the older male, his eyes narrowing a bit. Kurapika knows Killua doesn't like this and honestly Kurapika is embarrassed by it all.
"Uh I can't really teach you Gon." Leorio rubs the back of his head. "I got this good from a lot of practice."
"So the key is practice," Gon mumbles,nodding to himself. This gets both Killua and Kurapika to glare at Leorio. Kurapika glaring because he doesn't want to hear he had a lot of practice and Killua because he just gave Gon an idea.
"You don't need to practice." Killua snaps at Gon when he looks like he's thinking. "Forget about it. We're on vacation. I've told you this." Killua grabs Gon's hand and pulls him close, Kurapika seeing his possessiveness once again. Jealousy in those purple orbs. "Remember what I said?"
"...Yeah I was just curious." Gon tilts his head looking at Killua like he's confused.
"Let's take a shower everyone. I don't want the place to close on us." Kurapika urges everyone as he starts walking towards the bathhouse. He hopes they'll change the subject or Killua and Gon will get into another fight. Kurapika knows Gon just wants to learn how to kiss for when he kisses Killua. The ex-assassin doesn't know that though.
Leorio walks beside him, giving him a knowing look. Kurapika nods, glancing back to see Gon and Killua walking after him. Killua still has his hand in Gon's and his shoulders are tense but slowly he's relaxing.
Kurapika's just glad Gon read the mood and stopped talking about practicing kissing or there would have been trouble.
Gon lets the hot water pour over his shoulders, it slides down his body removing the sand that was stuck to him. His swimming trunks are by his feet getting cleaned at the same time. Surprisingly the bath house is really nice. There's many showers and they're separated by a wall. In the shower next to him Killua is taking a shower, naked as well. Gon flushes, his eyebrows scrunching as he washes himself with the soap Kurapika gave him. The blonde had packed well for this. He must have had this planned before they even went to the beach.
Gon sighs. He can't help to think of everything while he's alone in the shower. So far he's at a disadvantage in the game. Which is sad because Gon knows Killua likes him but Killua doesn't know he likes him. Despite this Killua has been using sexiness against him to the point Gon almost gave in today. Gon needs to learn how to be sexy without it being obvious he's just copying what Killua is doing.
After watching Leorio kiss Kurapika, Gon realized how much he doesn't know. Gon has never kissed anyone like that and it was a lot more intense than watching a kiss in a movie. Gon has given kisses on the cheek before. He's given them to the women he's dated, Mito-san and Killua. He's never kissed someone on the lips but if Gon did he would have thought it would be the same as if you were kissing someone's cheek but after watching his friends he knows that's not the case. Leorio's kiss was deep and it had emotion in it. Kurapika got red in the face and he looked like he was really into it. Their mouths were open and just looking at them made him feel a little warm. He pictured kissing Killua like that and his heart starting beating really fast.
I need to learn how to kiss like that but Leorio said he could kiss like that because of practice. Killua said I can't practice because we're on vacation but even if I could who could I practice on? Maybe I can just practice the movements I saw Leorio use with his lips...
It's not just the kiss that Gon needs to learn. He needs to learn how to be sexy. He needs to talk with Kurapika and Leorio. Or maybe he should look it up on the internet? But Killua's always around and he seems to get mad whenever Gon says he wants to learn things.
But I don't want to lose! Gon grumbles to himself, crossing his arms, his eyebrow twitching. I need to be sexy to make it harder on Killua and I need to learn more about being gay and relationships. I didn't even know what a blow job is! And it's done by people who really like each other...Killua said he would teach me how to do it so why did he get mad when I wanted to learn about kissing? But not the blow job? And what did he get mad about earlier?
Gon grabs his head, he can feel the gears turning giving him a headache. Ack! Why is this so confusing? I need to rethink my game plan or it's over. Killua is going to win. Maybe...maybe...Gon's eyes light up, something clicking in his head. Maybe...the date could be my weapon. I could act like we're just hanging out...but it's actually a date! And then Killua won't know how to act and he'll be so happy that he'll confess to me first!...maybe that will work...hmm i'm not sure.
Gon slumps, thinking hard. There's a sharp pain in his stomach causing him to bite his lip and to lean against the shower wall. He takes a deep breath and then the pain is gone. Before Gon has time to think he feels a presence behind him. The raven haired male turns his head and blinks.
"Killua?" Gon turns to face his friend. The ex-assassin is standing in the entrance of his shower, staring at him with dull blue eyes, his white locks curling into his cheeks. His face is blank and his body bare. Gon isn't paying attention to that though. Those dull blue eyes have him locked in place. "What's wrong?" Gon's eyebrows furrow and he takes a step toward his friend. Those dull eyes just keep staring and staring. He doesn't respond. "Killua?" Gon tries again but there's no response. "Killua!" Gon goes to grabs his shoulders to shake him but when he blinks...
Killua's not there anymore. Gon stares at where Killua was with wide eyes. Killua wouldn't have been able to just run off without Gon noticing. Even if he used Godspeed Gon would have seen the electricity. It was like he just disappeared. Gon just stares at where he was in disbelief.
"Gon? What's wrong? I heard you call me." Gon hears the water shut off next to him and soon after Killua is peaking in though the entrance of his shower, those eyes of his look blue right now, but they're bright and alive. He gives him a questioning look.
"...Weren't you just in here a moment ago?" Gon frowns, really confused now.
"What are you talking about? I was taking a shower and then I heard you yelling my name. I just came in here now." Killua's eyes stay locked on his. He seems flushed though.
"But I saw you! You were standing right behind me! And you had this look in your eyes...I thought something was wrong. I was calling your name to get a response and then you just disappeared!" Gon watches as Killua's face falls to one of confusion.
"I wasn't here Gon..." Killua gives him a strange look before his eyes widen in realization. "The enemy! The book!"
"Oh crap!" I didn't even think of the possibility of the enemy being able to look like Killua! "Leorio!" Gon grabs his trunks before pulling them on. Killua had already put on his trunks to talk to Gon, the two teenagers run down the hall where Kurapika and Leorio are taking a shower. "Where's the bag?"
"What's wrong?" Kurapika walks out of the shower with his swimming trunks on, frowning when he sees the serious expressions on Killua and Gon's faces.
"I think the enemy is here and he looks like Killua." Gon grips his fist.
"Where's the bag? The enemy might be looking for the book. Once he realized Gon couldn't have it on him he went to search for it." Killua's eyes narrow.
"I put the bag in here." Kurapika hurries over to the locker and opens it up. He pulls out the bag and digs into it. The blonde sighs in relief when he sees the red book is still in the bag. "We still have the book."
"Then he's around here somewhere!" Gon's eyes get bright with excitement and determination. This guy had the gull to try to act like Killua. "Hey! We have the book! Come and get it!" Gon yells.
"Idiot!" Killua hits Gon over the head, his eye twitching. "The enemy isn't going to just come out like that! Be more cautious! If he can look like me then he may be able to look like anyone he wants."
"Whats all the commotion about?" Leorio grumbles as he comes out of the shower, drying off his hair.
"The enemy has made a move." Kurapika answers, putting the bag over his shoulder, those gray eyes of his narrowing. "And he's taken the form of Killua. He's been following us."
"Is he in here?" Leorio's eyes narrow, his voice a whisper.
"That depends. Gon just yelled and told the enemy we have the book. The enemy may buy that we have the book and follow us, waiting for the right moment to attack or he's waiting around here to take it. I don't know." Killua's eyes narrow. "I'm going to search the place out. I want you three to cover the exits." Killua turns on his heel and starts running off, his eyes narrowed. Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika go without a sound, Leorio and Kurapika taking the back exit and Gon taking the front. The raven haired male crosses his arms and waits for Killua to come back or the enemy to attack him.
As far as he can tell It doesn't look like anyone ia in here. It's so quiet now... "Gon!"Gon looks over to see Killua running towards him. "...There's no one here. Did anyone leave?"
"No." Gon shakes his head, his eyebrows furrowed.
"Lets see if Leorio and Kurapika seen anyone leave." Gon and Killua run over to the back exit, the two older males just standing there.
"Didn't see anyone."Leorio shakes his head.
"There is no one but us in this bath house. The enemy must have left immediately after he encountered Gon." Killua looks at Gon. "you said the enemy just disappeared?"
"Yeah. I didn't see him run. He just vanished." Gon frowns.
"This guy is able to teleport too?" Leorio grumbles, rubbing the back of his head. "Well this is going to be a problem."
"It looks like there's nothing to do now. We still have the book and the enemy seems to have fled. Either they will keep tracking us today or give up. If possible we should try to not give away our hotel location if the enemy doesn't already know." Kurapika grips the bag that's on his shoulder.
"That would be best." Killua agrees. Gon notices that Killua is standing a little closer to him than he normally does. Killua's protecting him. Or that's what he feels from the slight aura he's giving off. Gon smiles. Killua tries to be sneaky about things but Gon understands him. The raven haired male reaches over and grabs Killua's hand, smiling over at him.
"Let's go out to eat now. Let's not let him ruin that. I'm hungry anyway." Gon looks between his friends, his stomach rumbling in agreement with him.
"Yeah let's go." Killua mumbles, those eyes lighting up a bit with the contact Gon's giving him. "There's' nothing else to do here anyway."
"Food sounds good to me." Leorio grins, throwing his arm around Kurapika. The four walk out of the bathhouse, no one lowers their guard as they smile and talk. They stay alert for anything suspicious. But as they walk out of the beach and towards the restaurant that's a couple yards away, they see nothing and sense nothing. They don't feel like they're being watched. It feels normal.
Gon can't help to have this nagging feeling in the back of his head. The Killua he saw was identical to his Killua. Gon really couldn't tell the difference in appearance. Those dull eyes and no response is what gave it away that something wasn't right. This guy must be really good. Gon didn't even feel any nen being used when the enemy disappeared. Is this how this guy stole Clover? He just appeared as Gon and then disappeared with Clover? Something isn't fitting.
Gon feels a squeeze on his hand. He looks over at Killua to see him grinning at him, those blue eyes are like the sea. Full of life. Gon grins back, returning the squeeze. No matter the outcome, Gon's just glad that Killua's real eyes aren't dull like the other Killua.
He's glad there is light in Killua's eyes.
