Gon nods excitedly "The strongest fighters are at the top, right?"
I nod "Sounds like it..."
Killua looks up out of his trance "Gon, Daniel, change in plans... I'm aiming to reach the top floor!" Gon nods "Uh-huh!"
I get up, grinning "In that case we will see each other at the top. LETS ROCK THIS TOWER!" Gon and Killua nod as we begin our descent up the floors of Heaven's Arena.
Time Skip
For the next three days for some reason I keep getting the buff guys, which I demolish easily.
Killua muses "The two punch KO..."
I chuckle "You been watching me?" Killua freaks out shaking his hands "No... No! I just heard of the two Ko punch kid..."
I frown, letting out a small disappointed sigh "Oh..."
I wish Killua would notice me more... for me... What the hell am I even thinking! I'm like a little girl who has a crush on her biggest idol!
Killua nods as Gon opens the door "I think the extra punch is a waste of time..."
I frown "That's the best I can come up with at the moment. You've got the chop... Maybe I... I know what to do! I'll just round-house them all."
Killua chuckles "It suits you..." I smile at him noticing my heart ache.
This is going to kill me the more time I spend with him... the more time I want to be with him...
Gon jumps on the bed announcing "We won't have to worry about money and lodging anymore."
I lean against the wall as Killua takes a seat "I wouldn't be too sure about that. If you drop below the 100s, you have to check out of this room. A world of difference separates making it to the 100s and staying in the 100s. The 100th floor is like a ceiling."
I respond "That's a unique way of putting it..."
Killua nods "Once you pass it, you get special treatment so everyone focuses on holding their spot. Some people will do anything it takes to stay in the 100s. You can waste a lot of time on them. Be careful, Gon. You two Daniel..." Killua looks away as I notice the slightly pink cheeks.
This is getting on my nerves! Does Killua actually like me or not. He hasn't approached me yet... I'm gonna approach him tonight!... Sort out my feelings as well as his...
I wave over to Killua, calling him over. Although he's reluctant at first, he approaches me casually "What?"
I whisper in his ear "Can you come outside? I want to ask you something serious..." Killua looks questionable at me as Gon still bounces on his bed.
Killua turns to Gon "Hey I'm leaving to catch a good night sleep. Gon, good luck tomorrow."
Gon nods as I wave to him next "I'll be leaving for the night too."
As soon as I leave, I close the door, motioning for Killua to follow me.
After walking for a bit in silence. I build up some courage.
Alright I'm just going to say I love you! And do you love me? Perfect it's fucken bullet proof...
I squeak, unintentionally "Killua..."
Killua looks up, slightly confused as I continue "I want to ask you something seriously..."
Killua nods "Ask away."
I look at him, realising I had lost all my courage in one fell swoop. I just couldn't open my mouth to say it to him... But if I couldn't say it... I just show it!
I look left and right to make sure no one is watching. I turn around quickly, pushing Killua against the wall.
He starts to freak out as I lean in for a kiss, stoping three quarters of the way in waiting a few moments for a response.
OH fuck...! This is wrong! This is WRONG! I should have just walked away when I couldn't say it in the first place!
I stop, looking at Killua, seeing him frozen to the spot. I lean back out pushing away frowning "Please just forget about this... I just acted on a really stupid impulse!"
I walk off, hearing Killua call out my name "Daniel..." I quickly run off, trying to avoid Killua's voice.
You fucken idiot! Why would you even do that?! What if he doesn't swing that way...? What if he doesn't even like you in that way?!
Killua's P.O.V
My heart pounds in my chest after that encounter.
I don't know yet... And you caught me off guard... But damn getting caught in the public... Whoa! What would Gon think? What the hell would everyone think?! And what was Daniel thinking he could have just asked like a normal person...
My cheeks fluster as I try my hardest to hide them.
Why did I just get dirty thoughts just now...? I got to stop watching late night television... But... I need to sort out my heart pounding first! He gave me almost a heart attack just now...
Maybe I'll just tell him I'm confused about these feelings because I've never had them before in my life! I'm sure he'll understand...
Daniel's P.O.V
I slam the door shut, breathing heavy "Whoa..."
I have no idea what just went through my head... But I hope, Killua just forgets the whole situation... I've never felt like this before and it's a bad idea!
But my chest won't stop pounding...
I walk to my bed, laying down "I'll just read to get my mind off things..."
Time Skip
I've been reading for a little while, quickly glancing at the clock "9:59... It's pretty late I should... Did I even lock my door?"
I sigh, walking over the door. As I'm about to lock the door it opens, smacking me in the face.
I groan "Oh~ I just got smack in the face, by my own door... who opens doors without knocking?"
I stop moving, once I see Killua standing at the door in shocked "Bad timing...?"
FUCK! This is why I should lock doors after entering my room... Maybe he just wants to talk... I hope it's just not about what happen earlier...
I wave Killua in, covering my nose "Perfect timing... if you planned on knocking me out with the door..."
Killua respond "Oh... sorry."
As Killua enters the room, I close the door behind me "It's all good no serious damage so... what's up?"
Killua nods "Well... aren't you going to do something...?"
I look in shock at him as he returns an embarrassed smile at me. Is he for real... Wait I got it! His just yanking my chain!
I smile casually at Killua "That's a great joke Killua. You should be a comedian... "
Killua looks in complete shock, growling back "WHAT? NO! I'm not that kind of perve!"
I smile "And you're implying that I'm one...?" Killua looks at me immensely confused.
I sigh, looking at Killua "I'm sorry... I had no idea what was going through my head at the time I was just planning to ask you out... EEP!"
Killua gawks "A-ASK ME OUT! With a kiss?!"
I freeze for a moment before shaking my hands to object "What?! No, I lost all my courage so I settled for a kiss instead... But then I thought it was a dick move, and... Why am I even talking about this?!"
Killua lets out a sigh in relief "Oh... That's still stupid though it takes more courage to kiss a guy in the public then to kiss them!"
I chuckle to myself "Yeah I guess so... But since I kinda let the cat out of the bag... Will you go out with me?"
"No!" Killua responds bitterly. I frown as Killua bites his lips. He takes a deep breath before saying his reasons "I don't know... If I want to be in that kind of relationship with you... Hell, I don't even like you making this a trio..."
I chuckle at Killua "We are not a trio... You're with Gon because you want to be with Gon. Think of me as a plus one. I see Gon as more my rival for some reason. He has a determination that I know will give me a drive to become stronger. Because... I don't want to be in you shadow Killua, I want to be beside you..."
Killua's eyes widen as I freak out "Did I just say that out loud! Pretend you didn't hear that..." Killua's head drops, looking at the floor in embarrassment "Why...? Why would you want to be besides me?"
My smile softens as I look at Killua "All my life... I've denied so many confessions because I know that they just wanted me... Plus they were cousins, EW! But whenever I looked at someone, I've never gotten these feelings before in my life... EVER! I just want to ask you out and see if I'm thinking with my head or dick... as my dad loves to say..."
Killua freezes in place "I don't know... if I want to or not..."
I walk up to Killua "How about we start off with something simple..."
Killua looks up "Holding hands?"
I shake my head "No... at least not until later... Behind closed doors we can experiment. And in the public we can act as friends. If we don't want to date each other after our trail, we'll drop and be friends. If you and I both want to continue we'll come out, how's that sound?"
Killua murmurs "How about me just cut it short to today! A small kiss... If I like it I want to continue if I don't we'll cut it short and just be friends... how's that?"
I chuckle, amused from Killua's comment "Darkscryers have an extremely high Libido... At least I know my father's is pretty damn high..."
Killua looks away "Oh... OH! I feel sorry for you..."
I shrug "I just hear my parents every night sometimes walk in on them and then immediately walk out..."
Killua nods, looking down with slightly flushed cheeks. I smile at Killua "If you really want this... kiss... look up at me."
Killua looks up slowly, facing me with red cheeks.
How the hell is he this cute... I'll just go in for a kiss. If he pushes me away, this is the end of our relationship.
If he doesn't... maybe we can continue dating...
I lean in close, just touching our lips together. Killua's lips are soft to the touch, like clouds of cotton candy. It's strangely sweet to the touch and I want more of him. I bring up my hands to the sides of his cheeks, touching each side if I'm holding glass.
Killua's cheeks feel warm to the touch as if burning of embarrassment.
Not wanting to push Killua too much, I let go his lips. Pulling back calmly. Killua sighs as I whisper to him "Well...?"
He open his eyes, looking at me in further embarrassment "It was embarrassing... but it didn't feel wrong at all it felt right... perfect... Way to perfect... There's no that was your first!"
I smile at Killua "You were my first... I never kissed anyone before..."
Killua touches his lips "You're kidding... right?!"
I shake my head at Killua, amused by his reaction "Nope! I've never had feeling like this for anyone before... Well, do you want to continue?"
Killua looks in shock "The kiss?!" I chuckle lightly "No... I meant the dating in secret... although... I wouldn't mind savouring your lips again."
Killua blushes "Ah sure... I would love to date you... for now... If I don't like it after our trial... We'll just be friends... If I like you I would like to continue... That's off course if you want to."
I close my eyes, smiling at Killua.
I think it is love for me... I want you more now than ever... but not for your body that smile you have melts my heart... And I want to make you smile every day.
I open my eyes after suddenly having a pair of lips on my own.
Killua's kissing me...?!
He pushes onto the bed, jumping on top of me. Before I could plead with him to stop his presses his own lips into mine.
He shows no signs of stopping any time soon.
The shock of this sudden outburst leaves me to think only on the situation. Whoa! His getting a little feisty... I should tell him to stop just in case he regrets it but a part of me wants-
My train of thoughts is cut short, after sticking his tongue in my mouth. He caresses my tongue gently, wanting more of me.
A moan escapes the back of my throat as he continues to ravage my mouth.
What the hell just happened? Why do I want to still continue this for longer! Why the hell isn't Killua stopping?!
Killua continues to kiss me passionately, making me smile at him.
I fucken want him right now!
I grab Killua's face, pushing my own tongue past his lips. Killua groans and pants in frustration. I pull back lightly licking his lips, which causes him to shiver in pleasure. After that small lick I leave his lips, making a small trail along his neck.
I place a kiss on his neck as he shivers, tensing up under my grip. "Don't you dare give me a hicky!"
I chuckle, making a small trail of kisses back to his lips. After a few more light kisses I finally decide to end it, pulling back up to look at Killua's peaceful "Killua..."
Killua's eyes look as though they were almost blank, as if he was in another world. Not only that, his face was brighter than a tomato.
I grin as he snaps back to reality "Why did you stop?"
I smile lightly, trying to think of a reason to stop. My eyes look around the room, stopping on the clock "Because we have matches today."
Killua blinks in confusion "What?"
I point towards the clock as his eyes look, following the invisible trail "12:03...?!"
I chuckle, checking my invisible watch "That's right, we've been kissing for what...? Give or take an hour and a half..."
Killua looks away "Sorry... I got a little ahead of myself there..."
"and I was wrong about you..."
"About what exactly?"
"You're secretly a perv!"
"What?"
I smile at Killua, focusing on his face "You down right seduced me..."
His cheeks turn redder as I cup one side, turning him to look at me "Killua... I wanted to make sure it was natural that it felt right and not controlled..."
Killua responds smugly "You controlling me... That's a riot!" I frown from Killua's comment as he leans back in to kiss me.
I stop him, earning a frown "Why not?"
I point at the time "As much as I would like to continue we still have fights today..."
Killua whines as I cut him off "No! You're welcome to stay the night... to snuggle against me. I don't mind-actually, I would love it if you did..."
Killua nods slightly disappointed. I sigh, robbing his lips one more kiss, making him smile again.
I look at Killua "So you staying the night or leaving?"
Killua thinks for a moment "I think I'll stay. I enjoy your embrace... it's comforting in a strange way... definitely more different than to what I'm used to..."
I nod as we jump into bed. I wrap my arms around Killua, snuggling up to him, to enjoy his warmth. Killua falls asleep almost instantly.
I watch Killua sleep peacefully, savouring the moment before I join him as well.
Days later
For the next few days we rise up the chain reach floor 150 Killua asks amused "I saw your last five matches. Did you decide to take your fights a little more seriously?..."
I nod "Yeah... a tad bit more seriously..."
Gon smiles widely "Why the sudden change..."
Killua interjects "I think his being distracted from his idiot side."
I lift an eyebrow at Killua "Huh, idiot side? Didn't even know I had one..." Killua waves his arms in my face "I think you're more distracted... than an actual idiot though."
Killua weakly smiles at me as I return a smile. Gon speaks up, oblivious to what's going on "Wow... I've never seen so many zeros before... just a week ago, I was totally broke."
Killua responds "Either way I'm a little annoyed."
I poke Killua lightly "About what... Killu-A-AH!"
Killua blushes, after remembering last night's ordeal. He turns, trying to wipe the thoughts from his brain, and to stop Gon from interrogating him "My first time here, it took me two months to reach floor 150. meanwhile, you're breezing through."
Gon murmurs "But you were only six back then."
Killua nods "Well, that's true..."
Gon speaks up after remembering something "Oh, that's right... I saw Zushi on TV earlier."
Killua responds nonchalantly "So did I..."
I nod slightly "Ah Zushi how's he doing...?"
Gon mutters to himself, loud enough for us to hear "He's still in the 50s... I wonder what that Ren was you sensed could have been..."
Killua comments "Maybe if we fight opponents higher up..."
I interrupt "Or... we could get it straight from the horse's mouth..."
Gon nods "Hmm, it would be faster if we asked Zushi!"
Killua looks away, frowning with a face that I imagine saying Why didn't I think of that?
I chuckle as I poke Killua.
Cute face, shall forever be cute!
Killua smiles, grabbing my finger to crush it while laughing. I look at Killua with a smile, holding my best poker face as I scream in agony inside my head.
Time Skip
After running around to find Zushi, we finally bump into him.
Gon to asks "Zushi! Hey what's Ren?"
Zushi looks confused before responding "Ren is one of the four major principles."
Gon and Killua looks utterly confused at Zushi as I nod my head, pretending I'm understanding every word of it.
"The four major principles for disciplining your mind and body. A fundamental to every martial art! You must know Ten, learn Zetsu, achieve Ren and then reach Hatsu! This is all part of Nen training! That covers everything!"
As I continue to nod, Killua looks at me confused "You understood that?"
I smile, responding casual "Not a single word... Zushi can you explain that again with more English and lesson Jargon!"
Killua frowns, getting really close to Zushi "I've no idea what you just said!"
Zushi name gets called as he freaks and recognises the voice.
"Are you sufficiently educated that you can teach others? Gon-kun, Killua-kun, Daniel-kun. There's an old saying that if you learn something piecemeal, you'll end up knowing less than when you started." Wing dictates to us.
I retort nonchalantly "There is also a saying, it's better to have it and not need it. Then to need it and not have it."
Wing frowns as Killua responds with a small cough "So a little knowledge is a dangerous thing? But I want to know right now, because it's related to the secret behind my brother's power."
Wings eyes darken as he looks at Killua "Then, your brother is able to use Nen?"
Killua responds "I need to know what Nen and Ren even means! I'll even agree to the full learning process rather than a quick explanation! And if you're willing to teach me, I won't try to figure it out myself."
Wing and Killua have a massive stare down.
Wing sighs after a long stare down "I understand... Come with me to my residence." Wing turns around and begins to walk away as we follow him.
