Gon takes a deep breath, focusing on keeping his zetsu. It's proven more difficult than he would like to admit. There's this ringing in his ear that is hard to ignore and it seems to be effecting his aura. Gon peers around the tree he's taking cover behind, staring at the back of the cabin. He glances over to his left. Though he can't see Killua, he knows he's there, hiding in the shadows, ready to strike. His lover didn't like having to split up but they all agreed it was the best way to make sure this person won't escape. Also if it's a trap, all of them won't get caught in it.
Kurapika is hiding in front of the cabin while Leorio has the right side. No one is getting out of this cabin without them knowing. Gon is feeling restless. He has this feeling in his gut he can't shake. There's no animals around here. It's like they're all keeping away from the cabin. The darkness seems thicker in this place.
Gon wants to charge in but he holds himself in place. He's waiting for Killua's signal. Gon glances over, seeing Killua advance towards the cabin. To anyone else it would look like a blur of white, something that could be easily mistaken as a trick of the eye.
"It's over tonight." The other Killua's voice sounds strange. He's not taunting him. It's almost regretful.
Gon keeps his eyes on his lover, making sure his aura doesn't give way and ruin their cover. Killua makes a hand gesture. Gon sends Leorio the text message which Leorio will pass to Kurapika. Killua can't see anyone in the cabin. It's time to make their move in. Either the guy escaped or he's in a blind spot that Killua can't see. They break in on three.
One. Two. Three.
Gon runs as fast as he can, ignoring the pain in his ribs, and keeping his zetsu. He jumps through the back widow, letting his zetsu go at the same time everyone else is. What Gon sees is not what he expected at all...but It explains this feeling in his gut and the anger he feels flare up.
"So he told my location? How disappointing." Illumi is standing next to a cage that has Clover in it. The legendary fox is laying down, her ears down. She looks ill. Illumi had to know they were coming. Or at least he was prepared for it.
"I-Illumi?" Killua's face falls once those dark eyes land on his older brother, the cause for all this. His face goes pale but he stays in that fighting position.
"Kil! It's been so long!" Illumi claps his hands together, turning those black eyes on Killua. "You've grown."
"Stop this. Leave Gon out of whatever the hell you're doing." Killua grips his fists, snarling at his older brother but those blue eyes are trying to hide his fear. His uncertainty.
"Why did you frame me?" Gon tilts his head, glaring deeply at Illumi when he sees how tense Killua is.
"So this is the ass hole who's done it." Leorio cracks his fingers, taking a step closer with Kurapika next to him.
"If he was able to turn his face into that thing during the Hunter exam, I'm sure he could shift his face into other forms." Kurapika frowns, getting his chains out. He looks uneasy.
"Kil. It's time to go home." Illumi ignores everyone else except his younger brother, those black eyes never leaving his blue ones. "You've had your fun but it's time you do what you were made to do. It's time for your training to be the heir to the Zoldyck family-"
"I'm not an assassin anymore. I'm not going to be heir to the family. I'm staying here." Killua swallows but his voice is firm. "I'm staying with Gon."
"I'm afraid Gon won't be with us much longer." Illumi stares with those empty eyes. "His time is up." Gon takes a step forward, feeling his anger rise at seeing this man. He stops soon after when a sharp pain goes through his chest. He leans forward and coughs, blood coming up from his throat and splatting on the ground. It drips off his chin, the metallic taste left in his mouth as he falls to his knees.
"Gon!" All his friends scream. Killua goes to run to him, those blue eyes giving way to the fear once again. Before Killua can get to him, Gon spits up blood again, not able to stop himself. His vision is getting blurry.
"Now, now." Illumi cuts Killua off, jabbing his hand towards his brother, getting Killua to jump back a bit.
"Get away from him!" Killua screams, his electricity building up, his white hair getting puffy. Those blue eyes are so dark and his nails have grown sharp.
"You want to kill me don't you? Mother would be so proud." Illumi hums. "Can you really go through with it kil? And is your friend really worth it?"
"I can!" Killua's voice wavers for a moment but when those blue eyes fall on Gon who is laying in his own blood, those eyes get dark again. "Gon is..."
"I must admit I'm impressed. Your friend's mind wasn't broken so now the curse is just destroying his insides. It must be so painful. Do you want to save your friend Kil? You can try to kill me but you'll run out of time. I don't intend on giving up the fox for free."
"I'm f-fine!" Gon growls, trying to get up but there's a sharp pain and he throws up. It hurts. He can't do anything. All the voices are morphing in his head.
"What do you want?" Killua's face gets stone with acceptance. Gon is getting pale from the blood lost. They don't have much time. Killua can't hide the change in his aura or the way his pupils have gotten pin point.
"Just come home with me Kil. It will be just like old times. You can start your training and you're at that age were father and I will look for a suitable wife for you. We've decided it's about time for you to get one."
"...if I agree to this, you'll give us the fox and let us save Gon?" Killua's expression doesn't change.
"Yup! A happy ending for everyone one. Just come here." Illumi holds out a purple needle in his hand. Killua's face gets pale as he takes in his brother's nen. "This is what will seal our deal-"
"Killua d-don't! I'm fine! We can fight him and get the f-fox ourselves!" Gon shouts before he grabs Illumi's ankle, gripping with enough force he knows he's cracked the bone. Illumi doesn't move and his face doesn't change. "I can hold out, you don't need to go back with him." Gon spits up more blood, everything getting dizzy.
"He only has minutes." Illumi says, ignoring Gon. Killua is looking at Gon strangely. There's this deep look in his eyes that leaves him. His face becoming stone.
"I can't lose you." Killua's sparks stop and his nails go back to being normal. He starts to walk towards Illumi, towards the needle.
"I-I can't lose you...either! D-Don't...!" Gon wills himself to move but he can't.
"I'll do what ever you want. Just...save Gon." Killua bows his head in front of Illumi, the older assassin's lips twitch as he lifts up the needle. Killua is doing this out of desperation, Gon knows. Still, Gon can't do it. He can't watch as Illumi takes Killua away from him once again.
"You can't...find him...a wife...because he won't love them..." Gon find himself saying with barely any oxygen to his brain. Illumi stops.
"It doesn't really matter if he loves them or not. The one with the best genetics is who will be chosen. Someone I like. I'll just rewire Killua and he'll like whoever I pick." Illumi watches as Killua stiffens, his fists gripped at his sides.
"Get on with it!" Killua snarls. "He's dying-"
"No! He l-loves me." Gon grabs Illumi's leg and starts to crawl up him, using all the strength he has left. "He's not some machine that you can 'rewire.'! Killua has a choice! How can you be okay...with treating him like this...? Killua is amazing!-"
"He loves you?" Illumi raises an eyebrow.
"Just put the fucking needle in my head Illumi! Hurry up! Gon stop, I'm trying to save you-"
"I-I don't want to be saved if it means you have to suffer Killua!" Gon grinds his teeth, still climbing up Illumi, trying to get the needle. "H-He's my lover so it's like he already has a w-wife! Or something!" Gon's brain is all fuzzy.
"H-He doesn't know what he's talking about. It's the blood loss." Killua says quickly when he sees the change in illumi's eyes. "Just-"
"It's the truth~" Gon finds himself sliding off of the older assassin as he glances over, seeing Hisoka walk in, dragging Kurapika and Leorio who's backs are pressed against each other like they're tied up but Gon doesn't see anything... Leorio has a broken nose and Kurapika's fingers are bent oddly but other than that, they seem to be okay. Hisoka has a playful smile on his lips but when he sees Gon spit up blood again and Killua cry out in panic, his face gets dark. "Illumi."
"The curse is progressing faster than I expected. It's wasn't my fault." Illumi puts his hands up.
"We don't have time for this! Gon is going to die! Just give me that!" Killua reaches for the needle. "Don't you want me to go home?...Big brother?" Killua's lips curl at saying that. He looks like he's about the vomit.
That got illumi's attention. Those empty eyes have a certain...excitement to them. "I do, I do Kil. You'll be my beloved little brother again." Illumi grabs Killua's head, aiming the needle to get in the frontal lobe of the brain-
The needle is yanked out of Illumi's hand, and is pulled into Hisoka's by his bungee gum. Those yellow eyes are still looking unamused. "We had a deal Illumi."
"I don't know what you mean-"
Gon tries to speak, he tries to do something in this situation but now he can only lay in on the ground. Everything is blurry and the lights are low.
"Give me the fucking needle!" Killua screams, his aura sparking and going everywhere.
"You know as much as I do that there's no time. Even if Illumi wasn't in your way and you got the fox...You wouldn't make it to the circus leader in time." Hisoka's voice is a growl as he throws the needle to the ground. "I very much don't like that you double crossed me Illumi. You lied to me."
"Gon!" Killua cries out, those blue eyes filled with so much dread and dark realization as he pushes Illumi out of the way to kneel next to his fallen lover, holding him in his arms, laying Gon's head against his chest. Gon feels everything is just melting away. He looks up at Killua, and sees those blue eyes glimmer with tears. Gon can hear Kurapika and Leorio calling him too. There's a flash of pink and black...Hisoka and Illumi? Fighting? Gon's not sure. All he can focus on is Killua and those big blue eyes filled with so many emotions.
Gon can't help to smile. "Kil...ua." His voice is hoarse and his mouth tastes like iron as he touches Killua's flushed cheek with his finger tips. "It's...okay. I'm happy...you're still here...Don't let Illumi hurt you...anymore."
"Gon just stay with me, we're going to get you out of here. We're going to break the curse, it will be okay." Killua is lying. Gon knows and Killua knows. Gon has lost too much blood. It feels like his insides are turning into mush. Killua's tears are falling from his eyes and onto Gon's cheek.
"Did I ever tell you...how pretty your eyes are?...they look like the ocean...with the sun shinning on the waves." Gon eyes start to slip shut but a jerk from Killua makes him open his eyes again. Killua's lips are trembling. Gon doesn't like seeing him upset. But he can barely think right now. All he can think about is sleeping... "Can you...kiss me good night?"
Killua's lower lip quivers before he leans in, kissing Gon so tenderly that the raven haired male feels like he could just let himself go in the kiss. He holds on to the feeling and takes note of the warm tears falling off of Killua's face. "It's not goodbye." He says but his voice wavers.
"Not goodbye...just goodnight." Gon smiles, feeling like he's back in the hotel room with Killua laying by his side. All his senses are fading away. It's time to sleep. "I'll see you in the morning..." Killua interlaces their fingers just as Gon's eyes slip shut and he feels himself finally sleep. All the pain subsides and the last thing he's aware of is Killua's hand in his.
You'll still be here when I wake up...right Killua?
Killua just sits there with Gon's lifeless body in his hands, holding him against his chest, running his fingers though his hair as if to offer some comfort to the dead boy. Dead. He's dead. Killua's mind has shut down. He doesn't know what to do, what to say. His body is working on it's own now, making him breathe, making him live. Killua can hear Leorio wail in the back ground. He can hear Kurapika and sense his aura is out of whack. He can sense those two grieving.
Gon can't be dead. He was just here. They just had a conversion 30 minutes ago about going out to eat after all this was over. He can't be gone. Not Gon.
Killua just sits there, lifting Gon's body and he can't help to think he looks like a broken doll, his arms and body laying against the ground, being held down by gravity. His head rolling back. Killua finally looks down at Gon's face. He takes in Gon's pale flesh, the peaceful expression on his face, like he's asleep. Like all those times Gon has been asleep by his side.
But as soon as Killua looked at Gon's face...it hit him. Gon is dead. He's gone. He's dead. He'sdeadhe'sdeadhe'sdeadhe'sdead. Illumi killed him. HE'S DEAD. Killua screams, he screams like someone is ripping him open from the inside out as he holds Gon's limp body against his. His aura spikes and breaks every light in the cabin, glass shattering everywhere. It feels like something has shattered inside of the ex-assassin. His light is gone. The sun has gone to bed, now there's only the moon.
"When we get home you're going to wash your mouth out." Illumi states after jumping away from Hisoka's attack. "Are you sick to kiss that man Kil?-"
Killua's body stands up on its own. Killua's mind isn't working anymore. He's broke a fuse. All he can think about is that Gon is dead. He's dead because of Illumi. He needs to kill. It doesn't matter anymore. He'll kill illumi. Or he will die trying.
I followed you everywhere... Killua attacks Illumi, tackling him to the ground right when Illumi was about to dodge Hisoka's cards. You were my most precious friend...Killua's nails turn into claws and he starts to slice into his brother without restraint. Illumi is having trouble keeping up with him in this position. You gave me light and brought me out of the darkness.
Illumi gets a hold of one of Killua's arms and snaps it, the bone making a sickening crack. Killua doesn't flinch. We've broken bones together and have healed together. Killua uses his other arm to dig into Illumi's shoulder and rips out a hunk of flesh. You were my everything. All my thoughts...had something to do with you. All my wants, my dreams...they were around you. So what do I have now? Killua lets his aura out, shocking Illumi with all he has as he continues to dig into his flesh, his blood staining the floor just as Gon's blood has stained the floor. We promised we would stay together...
Killua isn't aware of anything else. Illumi is beneath him, convulsing from the amount of electricity Killua is pumping through his veins. It's the only way he can keep him still but once Killua is out of power, Illumi will be able to stop his attacks. Killua starts to punch Illumi, hearing his skull crack against the floor before he's knocked off his brother by something sharp. Killua rolls on the ground, stopping a few feet away from Gon. He stares at Gon's limp body with a blank face, his mind still shut down but he knows what he wants. His body moves, crawling over so he's beside Gon. Killua can feel his blood leak out of his body, he was damaged. He doesn't know how bad and he doesn't care.
Killua wraps his arms around Gon, pulling the other boy into his chest just like he's done millions of times before. Gon's body is still warm. It's like he's just asleep. Killua knows better. I'm going to keep our promise Gon... Killua kisses Gon's forehead...so wait for me.
Kurapika can barely breathe. It wasn't suppose to turn out like this. He can only stare at where Gon and Killua lay, the ex-assassin hugging the limp body against his chest. Leorio is weeping, his shoulders shaking. He's on his knees and Kurapika is sure he can't move. Kurapika has never seen the man cry so much. Kurapika can't blame him. He can feel his own silent tears fall down his face.
He's lost two friends today.
After Gon died, Kurapika watched as Killua's eyes became empty. He attacked Illumi but there was no emotion behind it. It was as if his body was on auto pilot. Killua kept hitting and tearing and breaking Illumi apart. If not for Hisoka throwing his cards at Killua, Kurapika is sure Killua would have killed him. Kurapika wishes he did. Kurapika wants to kill illumi but right now, Hisoka and Illumi are fighting again. Illumi mad about Hisoka attacking his brother.
Kurapika can't process that though. All he can look at is Gon and Killua. Gon is dead. Killua is almost as lifeless as him. It's heart breaking. He doesn't know what to do. Once again, he's let his friends die. Once again, he's lost his most beloved people. Was all this training for nothing? Was all the work he's done not worth anything? He couldn't save Gon. He couldn't keep the tears from Leorio.
Kurapika's eyes move away from Killua to look over at the white fox, the reason behind all this. There she is. The white fox they have been searching for a month. Clover is whining, pawing at the cage, wanting to get out. This was the reason they came. Gon wanted to save Clover. Kurapika walks over slowly towards the cage, ignoring Illumi and Hisoka, ignoring Leorio's wails and he certainly doesn't look over at Gon's limp body.
"Hello Clover." Kurapika stops in front of the cage. His voice is hoarse and it breaks. He swallows down the lump in his throat. "We've been looking for you for a long time. Gon was worried about you. I'm glad to see that you're alright." Kurapika breaks the lock on the cage and opens it up. The white fox's ears pick up and she stands but she doesn't run out of the cage. "Gon really liked you. He even got that chocolate sculpture of you and that's all he wanted. We're going to get you back home okay? He would have wanted that." Kurapika swallows once again. Clover walks up to Kurapika and licks his face, taking his tears. Clover makes a whine as she looks over at Gon's limp body. She sits and howls. It's loud and it shakes the cabin. She keeps howling and it sounds like a wail. Kurapika feels his tears fall freely. Even Clover is grieving.
"What's all the commotion?" Kurapika stops, a new presence next to him. That voice... Kurapika looks over to see the circus leader standing next to him, that mask covering his eyes, his lips in a tight line. He's see through. Everything gets quiet. Illumi and Hisoka stop their fighting. All eyes are on the circus leader.
"You killed him." Kurapika finds himself growling, his eyes turning red or maybe they've been red all this time. He doesn't know. "You killed Gon!" Kurapika's chest raises and falls.
"Is that what this is all about?" The circus leader looks towards Gon's limp body who is still being held by Killua. " He's not dead. If he was I would be stronger. He's just in the last stage of the curse but his soul is still in his body." the circus leader waves Kurapika's rage off before he smiles when he looks at Clover. "My baby. How are you doing? I'm glad to see you're doing well-"
Clover whines. The circus leader listens to her for a moment. "Don't worry. It's done. It's over. He'll be fine. Gon isn't going to die, the curse is broken."
"G-Gon's alive?" Killua's voice comes back. Killua trembles when he sees Gon's chest raise and fall again, his heart beating strong.
"He'll need to be taken to the hospital immediately but he should be fine." As soon as The circus leader says that, Killua gets up and runs off in a blink of an eye. Kurapika has no doubt he's running to the hospital. Kurapika feels a hope well up in his chest. Is this not going to end horribly? Will everything be okay? Kurapika looks over to see what Illumi is going to do but he's already gone. And so is Hisoka.
"I'll be coming around with my family to pick up Clover. I've never seen so much doom and gloom in one room." The circus leader smirks before it forms into a real smile. "I can respect your love for your friends. It's like the love I have for my family. Just keep that boy out of trouble." Then the circus leader is gone.
Now there's only Leorio and Kurapika left. They stare at each other, both still trying to process all that just happened. Leorio's eyes tear up and he runs toward Kurapika, wrapping his arms around his lover. "Gon is going to be okay." He wails once again but this time Kurapika can't help to smile.
Gon's going to live. Killua will get him to the hospital in time. It's over.
It's finally over.
"That escalated quickly." Hisoka smirks over at Illumi after they've run for a good while, getting far away from the cabin. Hisoka is bleeding out of a wound to his chest. Illumi's broken arm hangs limply by his side, blood dripping out of his busted head and out of the gash in his shoulder. Killua got him good. " Tell me Illumi, are you angry your plan was ruined?"
"Kil has become sick." Illumi says quietly. "Gon has damaged him. This plan may have failed but I will not stop in till Kil comes home and Gon is dead."
"I told you Gon is mine. You've over stepped your boundaries-"
"If you want to protect Gon you will have to kill me. For I swear to you, I will rip the head from off his shoulders." Illumi's eyes are so dark, his voice dangerous as he slowly turns his head to glare at Hisoka, his blood lust leaking out.
Hisoka's yellow eyes narrow and he takes a step closer, the two strong men facing each other once again. All because of Gon.
In a blink of an eye, Illumi runs off. The dirt where he was standing barely moving from his speed. Hisoka watches him leave before he chuckles.
"I guess Illumi's my enemy now. How..." Hisoka licks his lips.
"Entertaining~"
Gon is aware of warmth. There's this feeling in his chest that makes him feel like he's floating, as if he's on nothing and gravity isn't holding him down. There's a voice calling out to him from far away. The voice is kind and bright. Gon wants to follow it but there's another voice. A familiar one. Gon turns away from the warmth and follows the familiar voice, not wanting to leave behind the owner of this voice.
Gon's eyes slowly open. He feels drowsy and his eye lids heavy as he looks around this room. There's a monitor beeping next to him and it smells of alcohol. Am I in the hospital again? What happened?-
Gon remembers those black eyes. He remembers his words. He wanted to take Killua away! If I'm alive does that mean Killua went through with Illumi?!
"Killua!" Gon shouts, sitting up in bed only to be stopped by a pressure on his stomach.
"I'm right here, Gon." Killua gets up from his position on Gon's chest. Was he sleeping on me? Killua looks tired too but when his eyes lock with Gon's...Those blue eyes get this light to them. Killua hugs Gon tightly, as tightly as he can with one of his arms in a sling. So tight that Gon has trouble breathing but he doesn't mind. No, he hugs as tight as he can back. So happy to see that Killua is still here, that he's okay.
"I was worried that you would have gone off with Illumi." Gon sighs contently, taking in the scent of Killua's hair and enjoying his warmth. "What happened when I was out? Did you fight Illumi? Did you get Clover? Did you give her to the circus leader? Is that how I'm alive?"
"I attacked Illumi but I wasn't really conscious through it. Kurapika let Clover out and went with Leorio to return her to the circus leader. I have no idea where Illumi went...The curse is broken but...I really thought you were going to die." Killua pulls away to glare. He puts Gon in a head lock and starts to rub his knuckles into his head. "What you did was risky! You should have just let me take that needle! You could have died, idiot."
"I didn't want him to take you. I didn't want him to put a needle in your head. I didn't like the way he was talking about you either." Gon grips his fists, growling. "He was talking about you like you didn't have a choice. Like you were a robot or something that he could just control. He didn't even care if you loved the person he was going to set you up with."
"That's how Illumi thinks. I was his puppet." Killua's eyes get dark, thinking about his childhood. He blinks when Gon wraps his arms around him again, looking at him with those amber eyes open to listen. Killua knows he hasn't talked much about what went on during his childhood but he's never really felt like he had to. It's over and it doesn't matter. Gon took him away from all that. "I didn't realize it in till I met you."
"I don't think you were ever a puppet Killua. You always had your own feelings." Gon nuzzles Killua's head. "But I was wondering."
"Hm?"
"If Illumi wasn't pushing you to be the heir to the Zoldycks, would you want to be the heir?"
"Where did that come from?"
"And would you...like to have a wife? I mean I can't give you any children."
"I don't want any children. I don't want a wife either unless it's you." Killua's face gets flushed when Gon's eyes get bright. He glances away. "Or husband or whatever." He grumbles but his face gets redder. "N-Not saying we have to get married or anything-" Killua takes a deep breath when his words started to get faster.
"I'd want to get married to Killua!" Gon cheers, grabbing Killua's hands, not aware of how much those words have affected the other male. Killua's eyes get glossed over for a moment, his brain busting a fuse with the overwhelming emotions. "I'd be your wife or husband or whatever!"
"L-Let's just focus on you getting better right now! Geez you almost die and as soon as you get up your talking about getting married." Killua scolds but his face is red. Gon can only giggle in response. He's too happy. He couldn't picture getting married to anyone other than Killua. He can't want to tell Mito! Killua is quiet for a moment before he glances away again. "And you know I can't give you kids either. I always figured you'd be the kind of guy who would want a wife and kids some day." Killua fiddles with his pants, pulling at the fabric.
"Hmm. I'm not really sure. I've never really thought about having a wife and kids. I've been focused on finding Ging and going on adventures with you. I never really thought about it." Gon smiles, thinking for a moment. "Maybe we could still have kids. I'm not Mito's son but she raised me. Maybe they're others like me. And we could raise one together! Later of course, once we get married." Gon grins so brightly that Killua feels his heart melt. His blue eyes have gotten so light listening to Gon talk. Married. Gon and Killua being married...adopting a kid...Killua feels a little light headed. "You never answered my one question though."
"Huh? What question?" Killua slaps his cheek, trying to snap himself out of his state and listen to what Gon is saying now.
"If Illumi wasn't pushing you to be the heir, would you want to? Do you miss your family?"
"Huhh?" Killua raises his eyebrow. "Miss my family? You saw them Gon. I ran away for a reason." Killua rolls his eyes. "I don't want to be a assassin anymore. I'm a hunter-"
"Your childhood wasn't all bad though. Some times you talked about these times with your father and you seemed happy."
Killua stares at Gon for a moment. "It wasn't all bad, no. My father is alright. Out of everyone, I respect him. He'll probably be disappointed. My mother will probably cry. Milluki will just be fat and Illumi won't give up. But I'm not going back. I don't want to be the heir. I decided what I wanted a long time ago. I want to stay by you." Killua's surprised by how firmly he said that.
"Maybe we could visit them some time." Gon smiles, hugging Killua tightly. "If we get married, they'll be my family too!"
"Ugh Gon they would definably try to kill you." Killua's face gets red. Again the word 'married' has been said. "They would never accept it. I can hear my mother now. I don't want you being involved with them anyway." Killua closes his eyes. "And you keep talking about getting married, you can't be serious."
"Why not?" Gon tilts his head. "Mito said marriage is for people who really love each other. She also said it's a challenge! And that you should only marry someone you want to be with for the rest of your life. I want to be with Killua forever!" Gon hugs Killua, nuzzling his head.
"Gon..." Killua's voice is deep before he grabs Gon's chin and kisses him. It's tender and warm. Gon feels himself melt into the other male, his eyes slipping shut as Killua kisses him slowly. It's different and wonderful and Gon can't get enough. "Illumi is going to come after us again." Killua pulls away, his voice is hoarse and those eyes get dark saying his brother's name. "Now that he knows about us...He'll try even harder to split us apart."
"Whatever he throws at us, we can handle." Gon grins. "Let him try. He pulled a fast one this time but we'll be prepared for him next time." Gon kisses Killua on the forehead. "I won't let him take you."
"I won't let him hurt you." Killua mumbles against Gon's head. Maybe Killua should just leave Gon to protect him. Maybe it would be the selfless thing to do but... Killua tightens his grip on Gon. Killua is selfish. They made a promise to stay together and as long as Gon wants him...Killua will stay by his side.
He will follow him anywhere.
"I love you Killua." Gon hugs Killua tightly, his heart beating faster. Killua doesn't respond, he only tightens his grip on the other male, not able to speak. He likes Gon saying that too much. His heart does back flips and his body gets too warm.
The door to Gon's room opens, Leorio and Kurapika walking in. They come in with blank looks but when they see Gon and Killua hugging, both their eyes light up.
"Gon!"
"Leorio! Kurapika!" Gon cheers. "I'm not dead! And me and Killua are going to get married!"
"W-What?!" Leorio and Kurapika's eyes get wide.
"Idiot, don't tell them that!" Killua sputters, Gon's never seen his face get so red.
"Huh? But aren't we going to get married?"
"Gah!" Killua hides his face with his hands. Too embarrassed by how much he's reacting to Gon saying that.
"Killua?" Gon pokes his lover in the head.
Leorio's wide eyes slowly turn back to normal. He laughs, tears starting to form at the corner of his eyes. "haha that's so Gon!" Leorio runs to the two boys, grabbing Gon and hugging him tightly, his tears falling freely. "You're alive! I thought we lost you!" Leorio sniffles. "Tell me when the wedding is! I'll definably be there! So don't you dare die young. You have your whole life ahead of you!"
"N-Nothing is set in stone!" Killua squeaks.
"I know. I don't plan on dying any time soon. I want to spend as long as I can with Killua." Gon smiles hugging Leorio back. "You take care of yourself too. You have a long life to live and I want to see you working as a doctor."
"Not too long with how old he is." Killua snorts, getting Leorio to give him a half hearted glare before he smiles.
"I'm glad you guys haven't changed." Leorio sniffles, pulling away from Gon. He frowns soon after though. "...I'm sorry. This vacation turned out to be a bust. You almost died and you got cursed. I wanted everyone to have fun but because of my vacation-"
"What are you talking about Leorio? This vacation has been great! I got to see all of you again and because of you and Kurapika, I realized my feelings for Killua! If we didn't have this vacation, me and Killua might not be together right now! And we did a lot of fun stuff! We went to a chocolate factory and fought in a dungeon, caught a Kraken, went to an amusement park and the beach! It's been great!"
"Yeah...I guess you're right." Leorio slowly starts to smile. "It was pretty fun. It got pretty messed up at the end but...You're okay. That's all that matters."
"Killua." Everyone stops talking and Looks at Kurapika. The blonde is staring at the ex-assassin with a blank face. Killua's face becomes indifferent as the Kurta takes a step closer. "Forgive me for what i've done. You are my friend and I wish to keep it that way." Kurapika bows his head slightly, closing his eyes. "I have no excuses for my behavior but I have learned from it."
Killua glares at the blonde for a second. Gon gives Killua a look, those amber eyes getting big. Leorio gives Killua a nudge. Killua sighs. "Because of you, Gon almost died." Killua snarls. Kurapika keeps his head bowed. "...We'll have to work on it but...we can still be friends or whatever. You've lost my trust."
"As to be expected." Kurapika straightens himself out and smiles. "But i'm glad I can call you my friend once again. I won't get between you and Gon any more. And I surely won't keep anything from you when it comes to him. I will earn back my trust."
"Yay! We're all friends again!" Gon starts to bounce on the bed, wrapping his arms around Leorio's and Killua's necks, pulling them close.
"oi Gon!" Killua struggles against the other male.
"You're straining my neck!" Leorio whines. Kurapika watches the three and can't help to chuckle. The mood that was so dark now is so light. Gon can do that with that light in his eyes. He can make any situation seem okay. It's like what just happened was a bad dream.
Gon's smile is too contagious.
" Oh yeah, Gon." Kurapika blinks when he remembers something. He pulls out a card from his pocket. Gon lets go of Killua and Leorio, his attention on Kurapika. Killua wraps his arm around Gon's waist, pulling the other male close once more. "The circus leader wanted to thank you for returning Clover safely and wanted to apologize for cursing you and almost killing you." Kurapika walks over to Gon and hands him the card. "He told me to give you this. The leader said he knows how much you want to find your father so he's given you his location. He was able to find him somehow saying something about him having resources." Kurapika smiles, waiting to see Gon's eyes light up and for him to smile.
Gon stares at the card for a moment before he rips it up. His friends eyes widen. "I don't want to be told where Ging is. That takes all the fun out of it. I want to find him. I'm a hunter. If I can't do that much, then I don't deserve to ever find him." Gon smiles at his friends. "But I appreciate him doing that."
Killua's lips turn in a small smile and he shakes his head. "That's so you..."
"Besides, I have something I want to do right now." Gon grabs Killua's hand, interlacing their fingers. Killua looks over at him with his eyebrow raised. "Let's do one last thing together!" Gon smiles. "Let's go to Whale Island and have a last feast. I'm sure Mito would be happy to see us and I want to tell her about all that's happened." Gon squeezes Killua's hand, the other male's eyes lighting up and his cheeks flushing.
"That sounds wonderful Gon." Kurapika smiles but it falls slightly. "but i'm afraid i'm going to have to decline. I've been out of work for far too long. I must hurry back to my employer. I'm sure Melody is pulling her hair out by now trying to keep the boss out of trouble."
"Oh you're leaving?" Gon frowns.
"I'll have to pass on that too." Leorio gives Gon a soft smile. "I got to get to work in my hospital. There's a lot of sick people who need me. This vacation was only suppose to be a month and we've stayed out longer than that."
"Aww both of you are leaving?" Gon pouts before he looks over at Killua. "You're going to come with me to Whale Island right?"
"Of course. Where else would I go?" Killua flushes, squeezing Gon's hand back.
Gon beams at his lover before looking back at Leorio and Kurapika who are now holding hands. "Are you guys going to keep in touch? It kind of sucks that you guys have to separate."
"We're use to it."
"As long as Kurapika answers his phone we'll be all good." Leorio grunts, grinning at his lover when Kurapika looks at him.
"I will answer my phone Leorio." Kurapika rolls his eyes but there's this teasing tone to his voice. "Just don't call me 10 times in till I answer."
"That was only once and that was because I was worried." Leorio huffs.
"Mmhmm." Kurapika chuckles at the look Leorio is giving him. "Well..." Kurapika smiles at Gon, those gray eyes softening. "It's time to say goodbye again."
"Yeah. Who knows how long it will be till we all see each other again." Leorio sighs, rubbing the back of his head.
"I'm not sure." Gon gets out of bed with Killua by his side, watching him from the corner of his eye. "But when we do, I know it will be fun."
"I feel like the next time I see you Leorio, you'll be fat." Killua stuffs his hands in his pockets.
"What the hell is that suppose to mean?!"
"You should watch how much you drink and how much you go out." Gon says, putting his hands on his hips.
"et tu, Gon?" Leorio crosses his arms. "I don't go out that much and I'm not going to get fat! I work out a lot thank you very much."
"Jerking off doesn't count as working out." Killua smirks when Leorio's face gets red with anger.
"Fuck you Killua. I bet you're going to be fat! You...You chocolate fiend!" Leorio shouts, breathing heavily out of his nose.
Kurapika pats Leorio on the back, sighing. "It's okay honey, don't pop a blood vessel."
Leorio starts to grumble only for Gon to rush over to him, giving him a tight hug. "Goodbye Leorio, i'll see you later. I know you'll heal a lot of people. Keep in touch okay?" Gon pulls away, smiling at his friend.
"I will. You take care of yourself Gon. And you too Killua. Watch out for each other." Leorio smiles, patting Gon on the head. "I guess the next time i'll be seeing you is at your wedding." Leorio winks at Killua, getting the ex-assassin to turn scarlet.
"T-That's not even a thing yet!"
"Yeah! I'll definably tell you when we get it all planned out." Gon cheers.
"W-Wait are you really serious?"
"Come here Killua! Give this 'old man' a hug." Leorio grabs Killua and pulls him In, hugging the teenager. Killua wrinkles his nose, feeling a bit uncomfortable from the contact but he slowly pats Leorio on the back and smiles.
"Yeah, yeah. Goodbye old man. Don't die from a stroke before we see you again."
"Oh no. I'll be definably seeing your wedding. Are you going to be wearing the dress Killua?"
"F-Fuck you." Killua sputters, pushing the older man off him, getting Leorio to chuckle.
"Kurapika!" Gon cheers before he hugs the blonde tightly, burying his face in his chest. "I'll see you. Thanks for all your help. I don't think I could have gotten with Killua without you. Stay safe. Don't over work yourself and if you ever need our help, just give us a call. We'll be there in a flash." Gon pulls away, those amber orbs have that determined fire.
"Good bye Gon. If I should need you, I will call." Kurapika smiles gently. "It's been nice seeing you again. I'd be happy to attend your wedding. Just let me know."
"S-So is this really a thing?"
"Goodbye Killua." Kurapika does a slight nod of his head. Killua straightens himself and nods his head back. It's a simple goodbye and Kurapika can't help to smile. It's okay that it's like this now. Hopefully as time goes by, they can go back to the way they were. Kurapika understands that it will take time. "We're going to head to the hotel and pack our stuff up now. Take care." Kurapika and Leorio wave goodbye before they walk out of the hospital room. Gon keeps waving till the door closes, leaving Killua and him alone.
"I guess we should go and start packing our things up. It will be a two day trip to Whale Island." Gon smiles over at Killua.
"Yeah. Lets get you checked out of here. You look fine to me." Killua looks over Gon before nodding his head.
"Oh! What about the demon guy?" Gon's eyes widen when he remembers they left him laying in Kurapika's room.
"I'm not sure. Kurapika said he was gone when they stopped by the hotel."
Gon thinks for a moment, frowning when he thinks of the demon guy."H-Hey Gon?" Gon looks up at Killua who is pulling on his shirt, looking frustrated.
"Were you serious about..."He swallows. "Getting married? Or were you just messing with me?"
Gon stares at Killua a moment before he grins. He closes his eyes and waves his finger in the air. "Secret~"
"Wha-"
"Come on Killua! We've got a lot of stuff to do! But first we have to stop by to see Mito first. Then we can get back on the road to find Ging!"
"I thought you didn't want to see Mito till you found Ging." Killua huffs, angry with Gon for keeping the married thing a secret.
"Yeah I didn't want to but you're right. I miss Mito and I know by now she's getting anxious. There's something I need to do there too." Gon smiles to himself. "So we have to go. It's my goal for right now. I think it will help with finding Ging in the long run."
"Really?" Killua raises his eyebrow. "What do you have to do?"
"Secret~"
"What the hell?" Killua huffs.
"Don't worry." Gon can't stop his smile. Killua stops with his huffing when he sees how bright those amber orbs are. "It won't be a secret for much longer."
Gon kisses Killua on the lips. It's deep and heated. Killua finds that his heart is fluttering and his stomach is doing flips. In that moment, Killua can forgive him for keeping secrets.
Just during this moment.
"Ugh finally." Killua takes a deep breath, his eyes lighting up when he finally sees Gon's strange little home that a tree is growing out of. He smiles, wiping the sweat from his brow. 2 days of air travel mixed with a boat ride and miles of walking just to get to Gon's home. It's strange seeing this place after so long. It's been years. "I forgot how long it took to get to your home from the port."
"Yeah it's been awhile since I've had to walk that path." Gon's eyes are so bright as he looks at his old home. Hewie barks next to Gon, the white German Shepard on a leash. She wags her tail, her tongue hanging out. "Come on." Gon smiles as he grabs Killua's hand and starts to walk him along. Killua's heart starts beating faster as they get closer to Gon's home. He knows his hands are sweaty but Gon makes no complaints. Killua's freaking out. He can't help to wonder how Mito will react to their relationship. What if she actually doesn't like Killua? What if she doesn't want Gon to be with him? What if she'll try to tear them apart?-
"She's going to be angry you didn't call." Killua chuckles but it sounds strained even to him.
"Yeah but it will be okay." Gon glances over at Killua with a blank expression. " Is something wrong Killua? You've been quiet on the way here."
"Nothing's wrong." Killua lies, swallowing down his nervousness as they get to the front door. Gon doesn't push it. For right now anyway. Gon knocks on the door, smiling. When Mito answers, her eyes widen when she sees the two.
"Gon!" She hugs the boy who has been a son to her tightly. She smiles when she sees Killua and lets go of Gon to give the other boy a hug. "Killua! My, you boys have grown! It's been years!" Mito pulls away, her smiling falling into a scowl. She puts her hands on her hips. "I've been worried sick about you guys! You didn't write to me for a month! Did something happen?"
"Sorry about that. I just didn't get to write." Gon rubs the back of his head before he smiles. "Can we stay here for a couple of days?"
"Of course! Stay as long as you like!" Mito moves out of the way, letting the two walk in. Gon lets go of Hewie, the dog running into the home excitedly. Her eyebrow raises when she catches how Gon is holding Killua's hand. The ex-assassin tenses, feeling self conscious. He wants to pull his hand away but Gon tightens his grip, making sure he can't. "I see you two are as close as ever." Mito smiles knowingly. "Oh, I don't have anything made up for you guys! You should have called! I could have had a feast ready for you." Mito sighs.
"That's okay." Gon chuckles. "We ate on the way here. We should have a feast later." Gon smiles. " Mito I need to tell you something." Gon holds up their interlaced hands before kissing Killua's. "Me and Killua are dating!"
Killua swallows, watching Mito's face. Her eyes are wide and she just stares. Killua bites his lip, his stomach starting to twist but then Mito's face lights up. She chuckles. "Congratulations you two! You know I always had a feeling about you guys, even when you were younger. I thought I was strange for thinking that way...but now I know I was right." Mito walks up to Killua and kisses him on the forehead. "You better take care of my Gon. And treat him right." Mito pulls away to put her hands on her hips. She smiles. "I know you will. I've always thought of you as part of the family. I'm glad that Gon is with someone like you."
Killua stares at her with wide eyes before his bangs cover his face. There's a small smile on his lips, his eyes a little watery. He can't say anything. The warmth...it's just too much.
"We got to make this dinner something to remember. I'll cook ham." Mito winks.
"Ham!" Gon cheers, throwing his arms in the air, and bouncing up and down. "Hey Killua, can you help Mito cook? I need to do something."
"Uh...Sure?" Killua looks up, raising his eyebrow. "What do you need to do-"
"Thanks i'll be back!" Gon pecks Killua on the lips before he runs out of the house.
"Wait Gon!" Killua calls after him but the other male doesn't listen. Killua frowns, feeling a bit awkward. It's strange for Gon to run of to do something by himself. And he still feels a little strange with being in Gon's home without him.
"Come on. Let's get started." Mito smiles at Killua when he looks at her. "You can tell me all about how you and Gon became a couple! Don't leave out any details either!" Mito starts to walk towards the kitchen, Killua following after her.
"Um well..." Killua blushes, his heart beating faster as he follows Mito. He finds it strange how he starts to talk about how all this began so easily. Soon it just flows out. He tells Mito about how he's always had a thing for Gon and how he thought that Gon would never return his feelings. He talks about how they got together and the confusion Kurapika caused. He talks about their first date...their first kiss.
Mito listens as they get to work on cooking dinner. She smiles and nods her head, chuckling a couple of times. It feels nice. It feels good being able to tell someone about this. Mito is the mother he's always wanted. He's glad Mito has accepted him. Killua gets so wrapped up in talking about Gon and everything that he almost forgets Gon has left him.
Almost.
"Gon where are you taking me?" Killua grumbles as he's pushed by Gon, the ex-assassin is wearing a black blind fold that the other male made him wear. "We spent hours making all that food and then you come home, only to pull me out before we even get to eat it!"
"Don't worry. We'll eat after this." Gon grins as he keeps pushing Killua along. "I'll reward you for your hard work." Gon leans his lips close to Killua's ear. He licks up the shell, getting the other male to shiver.
"Ah..." Killua feels hot. He swallows down his arousal and tries to focus on where Gon is taking him now. He can't pin point where they are. They've been walking for some time. He starts to get anxious. What is this all about anyway? First Gon runs off for 2 hours and now he has him blind folded, walking outside during the night.
"Here we are!" Gon sounds like he's smiling as he takes off Killua's blind fold. Killua's eyes widen and he can't help to gasp. Before him is a large tree covered in purple flowers. He's never seen such a big tree before. The purple flowers glow in the moonlight making the tree look like something you would find at Christmas. It's beautiful.
"These flowers are called 'tear drops'.There's this old story about them. They say the moon started to weep when it realized it could never be with the sun. Those tears collected in this tree and are testimony of the Moon's love for the sun." Gon smiles when he sees how bright Killua's eyes are. "They close up and glow when the moon's light hits them. But in the day time, the sun's rays open the flowers back up. I like to think of them as belonging both to the sun and the moon. Both their rays effect the flowers. I'd like to think the sun cried too and the 'tear drops' are their way to be connected."
"This is awesome..." Killua still can't get over the sight of this tree. The story that Gon has told makes him think the flowers look even more beautiful than before. Gon grabs Killua's hand and leads him closer to the tree till they're standing underneath it.
"I saw these flowers a long time ago...and when I first met you and saw your purple eyes, I couldn't help to be reminded of these flowers. Mainly because of your eyes and you reminded me of the moon. You're like the flowers, you glow in the moonlight." Gon smiles, turning to face Killua, their bodies closer together. "You look beautiful Killua."
"Don't say something like that." Killua's cheeks flush, those purple eyes shifting away before looking back. He raises his eyebrow. "This is amazing and all but what were you doing for 2 hours?"
Gon smiles and it's too bright. He's the sun. Killua feels his heart melt. "This." Gon lets go of Killua, getting down on one knee. Killua feels his heart stop, his breath hitching. He can only stare at Gon with wide eyes, his brain shutting down.
There's no way...
Gon pulls out a box from his pocket, opening it up. Killua's heart jumps in his chest when he sees the blue gem that sparkles in the moonlight, the ring made of white gold. "Killua Zoldyck." Gon's lips curl up. "Will you marry me?" Gon's cheeks get pink and it reaches his ears. Killua finds it to be the most adorable thing he's ever seen.
As soon as the question was said, Killua snapped. Those tears that he's been holding in come pouring out. Gon stands up quickly. "K-Killua I'm sorry we don't-"
"Do you even have to ask?!" Killua pulls Gon in for a hug, crying into his shoulder. He can't even stop it. His body trembles in all the feelings he has. Gon wraps his arms around him, rubbing his back soothingly as Killua continues to cry. He's just too happy. It's like this is a dream. Gon asking him to marry him...It's really happening. Gon is going to be his husband. And he asked him to marry him in the sweetest way. Killua could die now. He could literally die and it would be okay. Killua doesn't deserve this. He doesn't deserve to be this happy but it doesn't matter. Gon wants to marry him. "Of course it's a yes!" Killua can't help to shout before his voice cracks. He wishes he could be sweet like Gon. But he can't even stop himself from crying.
"I'm happy too Killua." Gon pulls Killua away, the ex-assassin's eye widen when he sees the tear falling down Gon's face. He grins, both of the boy's cheeks flushed. He takes the ring out of the box before taking Killua's hand. He places it on his left ring finger. Killua swallows once again, trying to stop his tears. "I wanted to do this before we head off to find Ging. When I get focused on something I can get easily distracted. I'll probably do more stupid stuff so...I wanted you to know that I plan on marrying you some day. I was thinking we could have the wedding after we find Ging." Gon leans his head against Killua's. "I want him to see our big day. I want him to see you and meet you-"
Killua could care less about Ging right now. Killua pulls Gon in for a kiss, his lips moving passionately against the other boys. Waiting till they find Ging could be as little as a year or 5 or who knows but it doesn't matter. They are going to get married some day. It's really going to happen. Killua couldn't be happier.
The ex-assassin forgets about the feast waiting for them at home as he indulges himself in Gon's warm, pushing the other male against the large tree. Their hot breath mingle together, their kisses getting more needy as they go on. It doesn't matter that they're outside. It doesn't matter that Mito is waiting for them. All that matters is Gon is here and his body is calling for him. Killua wants to make Gon feel good. He wants to give him the world because Gon has given everything to him.
Clothes are left on the ground, forgotten, saliva dripping down Killua's chin as Gon pushes him down on the ground, getting on top of him. Gon taking control. Their kissing is intense. Killua's not sure if either of them could stop at this point.
"Gon, put it in." Killua takes a deep breath, his chest heaving up and down.
"B-But we don't have anything. It'll hurt-"
"I want it." Killua pulls Gon down to kiss him roughly, nibbling on his lower lip. "I want you...to make love to me." Killua flushes at his boldness but he's going crazy. Gon's cheeks get pink but those amber eyes...ohh they get darker in lust, in passion. Killua feels a shiver go down his spine.
"Okay...I can't hold back Killua." Gon spits into his hand before he rubs his saliva over his member. "It's going to hurt." Gon kisses Killua as he spreads his legs. Gon puts three of his fingers in Killua's mouth. "Suck please?"
Killua's eyes get hazier as he licks Gon's fingers, making sure they're good and lathered. Killua makes sure that his face doesn't change as Gon's fingers go into him roughly one by one. It hurts but he won't let Gon know that. It's a good kind of pain. He wants this pain. He wants anything Gon can give him. "I-I can't hold back anymore." Gon trembles as he pulls his fingers out only to replace them with his dick. He thrust in roughly, pushing himself all the way to the hilt. Killua can't help to cry out slightly from the pain. It does hurt. A lot. Killua will bare through it though. "ack! I'm sorry Killua!" Gon starts to pull out only for Killua to grab a hold of him.
"No...it's fine...Just go slower next time." Killua takes a deep breath. "I'm fine. This is nothing. Move." Killua leans up to kiss Gon, the other male melts into his warmth and starts to thrust into him a bit hard but Killua bares it. Gon can't control himself and that's okay. Killua wants Gon to get lost in him. Wants to hear Gon moan because of him and see that face contort with pleasure. After awhile the pain subsides and Killua starts to feel...something else. "AH, Ah Killua...you feel so good..." Gon is drooling, thrusting into him with no restraint, his hands finding Killua's, their fingers interlacing.
"G-Gon.." Killua groans at seeing Gon's face and feeling his harsh breathing on his lips. Killua's eyes widen and his back arches when Gon hits a certain spot. Killua is seeing stars. "A-Again! There!" Killua shouts with no shame and Gon happily obeys. He thrust as hard as he can in the same spot, sweat starting to form on his brow. "Gon, Gon, Gon, Gon." Killua keeps screaming his name, not able to stop himself. It feels too good and it's Gon. It's Gon who's thrusting inside of him. It's Gon who's moaning above him, using his body to pleasure himself.
Gon, who just asked Killua to marry him.
It doesn't take long for both boys to finish, Gon cumming hard into Killua while Killua's seed gets on Gon's chest. Gon kisses Killua passionately, swallowing up Killua's last moan, riding out his orgasm. Even after they came, Gon keeps kissing Killua. Slowly, full of love. Killua feels another tear side down his face.
This is no happy ending. No. This is only the begging. There's a lot of challenges to come. A lot of pain and victories to come across. Illumi will come back and he will try to hurt Gon. There will be extra problems with his family involving their marriage... Anything could happen in the future but in this moment, Killua couldn't care less.
Gon is his. The sun belongs to the moon. In this moment, they've collided. Killua will never be away from Gon. Gon will be his husband...Gon will always be here. Killua can't help to feel bad for the moon that shines down upon them in the sky.
Killua has gotten his sun, and he's never letting go.
Thanks for reading this story! I hope you all enjoyed it.
