Gon rolls around on the floor, hitting against the couch before he rolls back to the talking device he's been writing letters on. He frowns when he sees that the person he was talking to hasn't wrote him back. This is the 20th roll! What's taking him so long? Gon sighs, his bushy black tail hitting against the floor. He's so bored. And he was enjoying taking to the stranger. Gon is sure that person is Alluka's brother.
Gon grabs the phone again and brings up the picture Alluka's brother sent him. Gon feels his tail wag, an excitement building from seeing this other boy. Alluka's brother looks dangerous. He looks cool. Gon touches the screen with his finger tips. He's never seen anyone with eyes like his. So cold blue, so dark. They're like ice. Gon got this feeling in his spine when he saw his picture. Gon can tell by just looking at him that Alluka's brother is strong.
Gon can't wait to meet him. He's sure they'll be great friends. Gon can tell by the way his heart is beating faster at looking at those icy eyes. Gon tilts his head when he notices the other boy is holding up his middle finger. Gon didn't even notice that before, he was too busy looking at those eyes. Gon holds out his middle finger and examines it. Is this how his kind greets?
Gon smiles, flipping his middle finger up a couple of times, just trying it on for size. It kind of feels cool. The other boy looked cool doing it. Gon's tail hits the floor hard and he jumps up, his amber eyes so bright. "There's no way I can sit still now!" Gon starts to jog in place. "I got to do something, got to go outside, got to chase something-" Gon stops his jogging before he frowns. He'll have to put clothes back on to go outside...and get ride of his ears and tail. Gon's ears go down and he whines as he glances out of the window. It looks so nice out.
Gon looks around his apartment. What is he going to do here? There's a box in the living room and there is a bed. There's nothing to explore or to hunt. Gon glances back down at the device that's on the floor. He wishes the other boy would write him back. Gon stares at the device, willing another message to pop up but it never does. After awhile of intense staring, Gon never blinking, his eyebrows furrowing. He lets out a deep breath and blinks. "Okay that didn't work..." He was kind of hoping if he stared at it long enough and willed it to happen, the other boy would just text him.
Gon can only wait around for so long. With some disappointment he goes to look for his clothes again. He misses his island already. Why do humans like to wear such scratchy things? It's easier to move if you don't' wear clothes too. And you can feel the wind everywhere! Gon puts on his shorts and shirt, willing his tail and ears away. He touches the top of his head just to make sure they're gone before he runs out of his apartment, his amber eye searching for something fun to do or explore.
He stops when his eyes fall on the large buildings not too far away from him. He could explore the city. Gon can smell it from here. The smell of smoke, gasoline, food, and sweat. It's not a good smell but it's not all bad either. Kurapika looked like he went that way... Maybe Gon could try to find him.
The young werewolf jumps down from his 2 story apartment and lands on his feet with no issues. He glances around, frowning when he sees barely any trees. Where are all the animals? Where are all the trees? This place just doesn't smell healthy.
Gon's stomach makes a large growling sound, the young boy putting a hand over it frowning. Where is he going to hunt? How will he get food? Gon sniffs the air, his mouth watering slightly when he picks up something that smells like fish. Meat. It's coming from the city. It was hidden under all the other smells...
"Food!" Gon cheers as he runs towards the city, smelling the smell of meat. His tongue hangs out as he runs as fast as he can on two feet, everything around him a blur. He has to stop himself from running on four legs. He stops running so fast when he hears people talking, picking it up on his sensitive ears. He's running a bit fast for a human. He slows down just in time.
He's in an area with a lot of people now. Everyone is walking around, talking on devices, and shoving one another. Gon walks, taking in all the sights and sounds. He's just walking into the city now. He's never seen so many people. He waves to as many as he can but they all seem to be too busy talking on their devices or walking. The city is a wondrous place. There's so many buildings and there's no grass! None at all! There's no trees...just cement. The only animals Gon sees are pigeons that are walking on the ground looking for food.
Gon feels overwhelmed. His ears kind of hurt from all the talking and the beeping of cars. He closes his eyes and focuses on the smells. He sniffs the air before his mouth waters again. He's closer to the meat. Food. Gon keeps walking, having to squeeze his way through humans. There's so many. Gon is sure that there's more people here than there are on his island. Gon stops, his eyes widening and if he had this tail it would be wagging. Gon licks his lips as he takes in the shop across the street that reads 'Jake's burger shop'. It smells so good. Gon's tongue hangs out and he barks, getting a couple of people to look at him strange. Gon doesn't even realize. He runs towards the shop, wanting to fill his belly-
A loud horn gets Gon to jump and to whip his head over just to see a car about to hit him. He feels his heart sink, remembering all the horror stories Mito had told him before he came here. I didn't look both ways! Gon gets ready to brace for impact only for someone to grab his arm and yank him out of the way just before the car made contact.
"Oi! Watch where you're going kid! You don't just run out into the street like that! Are you trying to get yourself-" The man that helped him turns him around. They both blink when they lock eyes. "W-What the? Gon?"
"Leorio!" Gon cheers, remembering his teachers name. He beams up at the older man and he can't help to grab him and lean up. He licks his face, too happy right now. He's happy to see him and happy for the fact that Leorio got him out of the way from the car. Not that Gon would have been hurt too badly. He was going to stop it but if he did that the humans would know he's not one of them.
"Ew don't lick me!" Leorio pulls off the grateful young man before wiping at his face. A lot of humans are staring. "And that's MR. Leorio to you! You will show some respect. I am your elder and teacher." Leorio straightens himself out, looking down at Gon with this tough look.
"Oh sorry. Mr. Leorio." Gon giggles. "I couldn't help but lick you! I almost got hit by a car! Mito warned me about cars. She told me to look both ways but I forgot. I smelled this place and it just made me so hungry and I haven't eaten since I ate that squirrel on the way here and-"
"That a breather kid! You're getting red in the face." Leorio watches as the excited boy takes a deep breath before letting it out. "Just next time look both ways. The city is nothing like your island. you need to be careful here or you could get yourself killed. That jack ass wasn't going to stop. He was going to run you right over." Leorio grumbles. "And about licking me...I think that's something your kind does to show affection or gratefulness but just don't' do it to me."
"Okay." Gon isn't offended by this, he only beams up at the man. "I'll look both ways next time! And I know it's nothing like my home! Did you know that you taste like pickles Leorio?" Gon licks his lips, still tasting the older man.
"That's Mr. Leorio!- I do not!...do I really?" Leorio started angry only to become unsure. He sniffs his hand before he licks it. Leorio smacks his lips only to tense when he sees a lady looking at him weird. "uh...I can explain?" Gon chuckles when the woman walks away but he tenses slightly at the glare he gets from the other man. "I did not taste like pickles."
"You probably can't taste it because your tongue isn't as sensitive as mind." Gon beams before he walks into the shop he almost got hit for. He's surprised when Leorio follows after him with his arms crossed.
"My tongue is very much sensitive. I have special taste. You pretty much eat anything that moves right?" Leorio still looks irritated about Gon saying he taste like pickles. He really does though.
"I suppose." Gon shrugs. "I mostly hunted fish and deer on my island. Mostly fish. I love to hunt them. It's fun." Gon blinks when he looks around this shop and sees humans sitting at tables and eating. Where did they hunt that food?
Leorio watches Gon for a moment before he pushes him forward, towards this front desk. "You have to order your food first. Don't try to eat their food."
"I wasn't going to." Gon huffs from being accused of stealing someone else's hunt only to blink when he gets to the front. Order your food?
"How can I help you?" The man at the counter asks. He looks tired or irritated. He smells like grease.
"We'll be having two of your number fives." Leorio says before Gon can ask where it is they hunt at. Number fives? What is Leorio talking about? Gon looks up only to tilt his head when he sees a burger next to a number 5.
"That'll be 12000j." Jenny? Gon watches as Leorio hands this person paper before Leorio gets a piece of paper in return.
"We're number 33." Leorio walks over to a table, Gon following him and sitting down, still confused.
"What just happened?"
"We ordered food? You telling me they don't have a fast food restaurant at your island?"
"Fast food? You mean like a rabbit?"
"No..." Leorio sighs, rubbing his temple. "You have not lived. This is a fast food restaurant. People come here to eat something real quick without having to cook."
"Oh. So you don't hunt for your food." Gon nods his head looking around the room. "What was that paper stuff?"
"That was jenny, the money system around here. Don't they have money on your island? Don't they have shops?"
"Yeah but we make trades. I had to buy some medicine for Mito once. I had to give our two best chickens." Gon thinks about it. "I guess our life stock is money."
"You guys are big on the farming." Leorio seems to be thinking. "I read that we get most of our eggs and milk from your tiny island."
"There's a lot of framer dogs." Gon smiles to himself. "Mito is one. And I guess I was one too. I looked after our cattle and helped take care of the animals. I miss them and Mito."
"It's strange. I never thought I would have actually met a werewolf. You're nothing like what I pictured though. You're like a puppy." Leorio thinks for a moment. "I thought werewolves were all big and scary looking and short tempered. You look pretty easy going."
"Most of my kind are!" Gon smiles, liking how he's able to talk about his people with Leorio. He's the only one who can know. "werewolves are nice! They're not big and scary. Of course we can be on a full moon or if we fight but most of the time we're pretty affectionate."
"I see." Leorio is still staring at him. He looks like he's in deep thought.
"How are elfs like?" Gon smiles, kicking his feet. "Where did you come from? What is your favorite food? Do you make cookies? Mito said elfs make cookies-"
"We do not make cookies!" Leorio's face gets red and he huffs. "Elfs are very intelligent creatures. We are the healers and we deal with keeping the natural forces in harmony and shit. Really important stuff. I mean...some make cookies but not all! We are pretty elite." Leorio leans back and closes his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Wow!" Gon's eyes brighten." Mito was right! Elfs do make cookies-"
"Hey! I said some, not all!" Leorio points a finger at Gon.
"Do you make cookies?"
"No! I told you I'm a healer. A natural protector of the forces. I'm pretty high up when it comes to elfs." Leorio's eye twitched at first only for him to end with a smirk.
"Oh." Gon nods his head in understanding. He frowns slightly. "I was hoping you made cookies. I wanted to tell Mito I met an elf who makes cookies. I was hoping you could teach me." Gon looks down at his hands in disappointment. He got all excited for nothing.
"Well...I mean I know how to make cookies. I could teach you a few tricks- this doesn't mean that making cookies is all we do okay? Cookies just come with our main job of keeping harmony." Leorio huffs only to stop when Gon looks up at him with those amber eyes sparkling.
"Yay! Leorio is going to teach me how to make cookies!" Gon cheers, throwing his hands up into the air.
"That's Mr. Leorio!" Leorio gives him a stern look only for the number five to be called by the person in the front. Gon watches with his head tilted as Leorio gets up and grabs a tray from the front. Gon's mouth waters when he sees the two burgers and ohhh he smells them. His stomach growls and he has to hold in his happy bark.
"This looks so good!" Gon picks the burger up and bites into it, chomping down on half of it in one go. "Where's the rest of the animal?" Gon tilts his head, realizing how small the burger is.
"How am I suppose to know? They don't give you the whole animal." Leorio grunts as he takes a bite out of his sandwich. "Try to slow down in eating- and I don't think I received a thank you for buying your food."
"Oh thanks!" Gon gives him a sheepish smile before he takes a smaller bite out of his burger. He knows he's still going to be hungry after this. "You know I thought elfs were vegetarians."
"No?" Leorio gives him a look with his cheeks puffed out, full of food. "humans are the only ones who are crazy enough to be vegetarian. Oh wait, those goat people and horse people don't eat meat..." Leorio thinks as he chews on his food.
Gon nods his head, finishing up his burger and the potato strings that came with it. Gon feels better but he's not satisfied. "Can I have more?"
"More? Do I look rich to you?"
"Well you are wearing a suit..."
"I'm not rich. My teaching job doesn't pay me shit." Leorio grumbles as he eats some of his fries. "If you're still hungry, buy some more food yourself."
"I don't have jenny." Gon taps his fingers on the table. This place is nice and all but it can't beat killing your own animal and eating everything on it. "How do you get this jenny here?"
"You have to get a job. Like how I have to teach." Leorio sighs. "This is my last year. By the end of it, i'll be a doctor to my kind."
"I do have a job." Gon crosses his arms, thinking about Kurapika and his duty to protect him. "But it doesn't give me jenny."
"I'll see if there's something you can do at the school. This employer of yours should have given you some money to live off of here." Leorio cracks his fingers before leaning back in his chair. "By the way...what is your job?" Leorio gets that thoughtful expression again.
"I can't say. Top secret." Gon gives him a sort of teasing smile.
"You're not here to kill anyone are you?" Leorio frowns.
"Nope! Well...maybe." Gon tilts his head. If worse comes to worse he may have to kill to protect Kurapika. That's his last resort though.
"You're not here to...Kill Kurapika are you?" Leorio's voice has this edge to it. Gon picks up on it and he quickly shakes his head.
"No. I would never hurt Kurapika. He's my friend." Gon locks eye with Leorio, seeing the other male relax. Gon picks up on this as well. "Are you friends with him too?"
"Friends?" Leorio coughs and takes a sip of his soda. "uh...no. Not really. He's just a student of mine." Leorio waves him off quickly. Gon raises his eyebrow. He can smell the sweat coming from this man. "Why are you looking at me like that Gon? It's not like we did anything." Leorio seems to sweat more. He fiddles with his drink before standing up quickly. "Oh would you look at the time? I need to do elf things so I'll see you tomorrow at school. Stay safe and look both ways." Leorio quickly leaves, Gon staring after him with his head tilted. That was odd. Maybe elfs get sweaty when it's time for them to make cookies? Well it looked like Leorio got sweaty after talking about Kurapika. Are they friends? Or maybe they don't like each other?
Gon sits there a moment thinking about the possibilities before he stands up. He still feels hungry but he has no jenny to buy food. Gon starts to scratch his chest, the material irritating his skin.
Gon is going to go back to his apartment. He'll have more time to explore. But right now all he wants to do is take all his clothes off and roll around on the cool floor.
Gon can't help to wonder in the back of his mind if Alluka's brother has sent him a letter. He hopes so. If not, Gon will still roll around on the floor and...Gon finds himself smiling.
He's going to see him tomorrow in person.
"Oops almost forgot my pants!" Gon chuckles to himself as he goes back into his apartment and puts on the forgotten garment. He really wishes he could have just left that at home. Once he's all ready, double checking to make sure he has his ears and tail hidden, he walks out of his apartment and takes off running towards the school, determined not to be late this time.
He says hi to all the humans as he runs past them, his chest feeling too tight right now. He's so excited. He can't want to see Alluka, Kurapika, Leorio and Alluka's brother. Especially the latter. Gon has heard so much about him and after seeing that picture, he knows he lives up to his reputation. He's strong. And cool.
Gon can smell Alluka from here. She's close. Gon focuses on her scent and runs as fast as he can. He skids to a stop when his eyes fall on Alluka...and the man standing next to her. Gon's heart does a strange flip as he takes in the man's fluffy long white hair and sharp blue eyes. He's standing with his hands in his pockets, an indifferent expression on his face as he walks next to Alluka who is hugging a stuffed bear against her chest. Gon can't stop looking at the other male. He's more beautiful in person. Gon can smell it too. This man is dangerous. He feels a spark go down his spine and he can't stop smiling. He's excited. Gon is sure that's what fluttered his heart.
"Alluka!" Gon cheers after he's able to move his body again, running after the two and waving excitedly.
"Gon!" She turns when she hears his voice, smiling brightly. Her brother stops immediately, those blue eyes turning towards him with such ice. He's snarling at him. "This is my big brother Killua! I told you a little about him yesterday. And brother, this is Gon!" She gives Killua a sheepish smile. She seems a little worried.
"Hi Killua! So you were the one I was talking to last night on that device! I'm so happy to meet you in person!" Gon beams at this man despite how his glaring has gotten darker. Gon's eyes light in realization before he sticks his middle finger out at Killua. He grins, feeling proud of himself that he can communicate in Killua's own language.
Alluka's mouth drops slightly. Killua's eyes widen only for them to get narrow. He growls, marching up to Gon. He smacks his hand down with enough force that if Gon was human, he would have shattered his wrist. "I will rip out your intestines and shove them down your throat. Stay the fuck away from me and my sister or you will die." Killua's harsh breath can be felt on Gon's nose from how close he is. Killua's pupils have gotten longer and he bares his sharp teeth. Gon feels another spark go through him. If he had a tail it would be wagging a mile per minute.
"brother..." Alluka gives her brother a frown. "Stop it-"
"He just flipped me off." Killua snarls, looking back at his sister only to look back at Gon. He blinks when he takes in how Gon is looking at him with sparkling eyes, full of admiration. Killua seems taken aback before his glare is on his face once again. "What the hell are you staring at? You got something to say?" He bares his teeth.
Gon blinks out of his state before he smiles. "Yeah! I was just thinking that you look even more beautiful in person! Your eyes are even bluer than I thought!"
"W-Wha?" Killua once again looks taken aback, his pale face has more color than it did before. It doesn't last long because soon he's snarling again. He pushes Gon roughly with enough force that he's actually able to knock Gon down, and he falls on his butt. "Listen here you creep. I'm not playing. Stay away from us or I will kill you-"
"No you won't!" Alluka stomps her foot, glaring at her brother. "Stop messing with my friend brother!"
"Wow you're strong!" Gon hops right back up, beaming at Killua. The other male looks confused. "Alluka said you probably wouldn't like me so I expected this. I'm going to tell you now that I don't plan on breaking my friendship with Alluka. She's really nice and I like her. We're a part of a circle." Gon doesn't notice how a dark aura is starting to surround Killua. Gon holds out his hand and smiles brightly. "But you know, I don't want you to kill me either. So lets think of a different solution! Let's be friends and all have fun together!"
"Are you high?" Killua snorts before once again hitting his hand away and the force of it stings. "You're nothing but an idiot. You don't deserve me or my sister as a friend. Leave us alone or I will hurt you." Killua grabs Alluka's hand and starts to pull her along, his eyebrow twitching in irritation.
"Hey Alluka what class do you have?" Gon runs to catch up with them, ignoring the death glare he gets from Killua. He knows he's playing with fire but...he likes it. Gon has always liked danger. And even when Killua is glaring at him, Gon gets that strange feeling in his chest.
"I have-" Alluka starts only for Killua to pick her up like a baby. There's a bright spark and then he's gone. Gon stares at where they were with wide eyes, his mouth open. Did they just disappear?! Wow!
"Gon?" the young boy turns around to see Kurapika walking up towards him, his eyebrow raised. "The back of your shorts is covered in dirt. Did you fall down?"
"Huh?" Gon tries to look at his butt but he can't see. He brushes off his back and watches as dirt falls off of him. He smiles sheepishly. "Sort of. Killua pushed me."
"I'm surprised that's all he did." Kurapika grabs Gon's arm and inspects his wrist that looks red. "This may be sprained. But still, he didn't do too much damage. What did he say?"
"He told me to stay away from him and Alluka or he would kill me."
"Why are you smiling?" Kurapika raises his eyebrow. "Most would be terrified but you look almost happy."
"It's just that Killua is so cool and strong! I want to fight him! But most of all I want to be his friend! I'm sure if I keep talking to him he'll come around sooner or later."
"Or you'll get yourself killed." Kurapika shakes his head before he starts to walk in front of him. "Come on. Didn't you say you have math as well?"
"Yeah! Do you know where it is?" Gon follows after Kurapika happily, glad he found his other friend so soon.
"Yes, it's just down this hallway."
"Do you know what kind of creature Killua is? Do you know if he has the power to disappear?"
"Disappear?"
"Yeah! He was here just a second ago and then there was this light and he was gone!"
"He used Godspeed to get away from you?" Kurapika raises his eyebrow, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"What's godspeed?"
"One of his abilities. He can make himself go really fast by using electricity. I've only seen it once. Killua usually doesn't use his skills unless he has to..." Again that thoughtful expression.
"That's awesome!" Gon chuckles. "I can run pretty fast on four-" Gon starts only to stop himself. He rubs the back of his head when he can feel those blue eyes on him. " ...on two legs but I could never be that fast."
"I can be pretty fast as well." Kurapika has this kind of smile that almost looks like a smirk. "Killua used his godspeed to get away from me. I was able to chase him for a good mile but then he got away."
"Why where you guys fighting?" Gon tilts his head.
"I became his target after I ate a member of the mafia. He deserved to die." Kurapika's face goes blank. "though I was able to fight Killua off a couple of times I knew if it kept on I would die. So I killed the guy who put a hit on me and that was the end of that."
"Is Killua some kind of hunter?" Gon's eyes get big.
"I suppose you could say that. More like an assassin though." Kurapika looks at Gon curiously. "You didn't bat an eye when I told you I killed people. I don't sense that you have killed anyone. Your mind is pure."
"When i'm near you Kurapika, I can just sense you're a good person. If you killed these people, then I know you had your reasons to do so." Gon smiles at Kurapika, seeing the other male looking at him a bit surprised.
"A-Ah we're going to be late." Kurapika looks at his watch before he jogs off down the hall with Gon right by his side. There's this calm aura about Kurapika that Gon likes. He feels like he's gotten closer to Kurapika just by talking to him. It's great. Kurapika stops in front of a door before walking in, Gon right behind him.
Once again Kurapika sits in the front where no one- wait no. There is someone in the front. There's a man with his face painted white and hair that is red. He wears a strange outfit too. Gon feels a growl in the back of his throat but he ignores it. Something doesn't feel right about this man but at the same time Gon is curious.
This white face man's yellow eyes take in Gon, looking everywhere before they lock eyes.
"No way." Gon blinks at that voice and looks over to see Killua and Alluka sitting in a corner together. Killua's eyebrow is twitching in irritation while Alluka looks happy. "How the hell are you in this class? This is the highest math there is."
"I didn't know you were good at math Gon!" Alluka cheers. Everyone is looking at Gon again. The raven haired male goes pale. The highest math class? Uh no. Gon is in trouble.
"Uh yeah." Gon smiles nervously before he takes his seat next to Kurapika. The clown's eyebrow raises in interest at this. "Hey Alluka why don't' you sit up here with us? You too Killua!" Gon turns and smiles brightly.
Alluka looks over at Killua pleading. Her brother's face falls a moment before it gets hard again and he shakes his head sternly.
"I-I'm sorry Gon I can't." Alluka hugs the bear to her chest. Gon frowns, not liking that his friend is upset.
"That's alright! Maybe we can sit together next class! And I can still talk to you from here!"
"Gon I think you should stop." Kurapika warns when he sees that dark look in Killua's eyes. Just when he's saying this a man with long black hair comes into the room, this eyes empty. Gon notices the shift in the room and in Killua. Alluka is squeezing her stuffed animal and Killua looks angrier, his stance protective. Gon tilts his head as this strange man sits next to the clown guy. Gon can't help to be curious about these two. They're the first people he's seen sit this close to Kurapika other than himself.
"Okay people we have a lot to do today so I hope you're ready for some math." Gon blinks when a young girl walks into the room with blonde hair in pig tails. She's wearing a big puffy pink dress and white gloves on her hands. When she takes her stand in front of the classroom, Gon's eye widen and he points a finger at her.
"You're the teacher! Wow you're so young." Gon shouts. She looks younger than him and she must be the master at math!
"Why thank you." This girl smiles and flips her hair. "Yes I am the teacher and you can call me Brisky. You must be the new student. I've heard a lot about you." Her eyes narrow but her smile is sweet.
"Don't let the old hag fool you." Gon hears Killua grunt behind him. Gon can see Brisky's face get hot with anger and he can't help to frown at Killua's word usage. Mito always told him to be kind to women. "She's old as dirt."
"She's doesn't look like an old hag to me. She's young and very pretty. You're eyes are like emeralds." Gon smiles, not realizing how charming he's being. This was how he was raised. You always look for the good in people and compliment them on it.
Brisky's cheeks dust, that anger seeming to fade away as she plays with her blonde locks. "I always thought my eyes look like that too. You know, I think I'm going to like you Gon." Brisky gives Gon a wink that gets most of the men in the room to shutter. "Alright maggots, lets do some math. Around the room i've placed different math problems. Get your butts up and do them. Don't talk unless it has something to do about math or my pretty green eyes."
"That was pretty impressive." Kurapika gets up with Gon looking amused. "You were able to defuse Brisky. You put a vampire's charm to shame." Kurapika chuckles lightly and it gets Gon to smile, happy he was able to make him laugh. "Where did you learn how to talk like that?"
"From my aunt! She taught me how I should treat a lady." Gon walks over with Kurapika to a piece of paper. He feels his heart sink when he sees that this math problem has some letters in it. And it's really long. Gon just stares at it, feeling the gears in his head turn. It's starting to hurt. Gon watches with wide eyes as Kurapika easily works through the problem like it was nothing. Gon looks around the room and sees everyone doing the same. Killua and Alluka are working together and Killua is moving so fast. He's not even looking strained.
Killua must feel him staring because he looks over at Gon, giving him a glare. Gon smiles and waves. Killua shows him his middle finger before turning back to his work.
"Are you going to try this problem Gon?" Kurapika's voice gets Gon to look at him. The vampire is raising his eyebrow.
"Um..." Gon looks down at the problem before shaking his head. "I don't think I can do this one..."
"What is it that you don't understand?"
"um...why is there a letter?"
"...You haven't taken algebra?"
"What's that?"
"..." Kurapika's eyebrows furrow. "Gon, they may have put you in the wrong class. This is very advanced-"
"but I want to be in your class." Gon's eyes widen and he grabs onto Kurapika's arm. If they know he's not as smart they might put him in all lower classes and that will separate him from Kurapika. "We're a circle." Gon frowns, feeling worried.
"Ah..." Kurapika glances around the room, seeing as everyone is looking at them. He clears his throat before patting Gon on the head. "Wow Gon, thanks for your help. I couldn't have gotten through that one without you." Kurapika smiles, Gon's heart lifting. "I'll help you as we go." Kurapika whispers to him as they walk to the next one. "but you're not going to be able to learn this way...Your schooling is more important than sticking with me."
" No it's not." Gon says too quickly. Kurapika gives him a look getting Gon to shift. "Could you show me how you do the next math problem?"
"...Sure." Kurapika is looking at him differently. It's not a bad look. Gon just can't make sense of it. They walk to the next math question and as Kurapika is explaining it, Gon can't help to get distracted. It's too hard. Gon's wrist is starting to sting but he ignores it for now. "my pencil broke." Kurapika's sigh gets Gon to listen again.
"I'll go sharpen it!" Gon beams, taking the pencil from Kurapika before skipping over to the machine he saw people use yesterday. He's glad he can do something for his master, maths are giving him headaches.
Just when Gon is about to get to the sharpener, he trips over something and falls on his wrist. Gon hisses from the slight pain before whipping his head up. Killua is smirking down at him before he walks back over to where Alluka is, his hands are in his pockets and he's whistling a tune.
The class chuckles at Gon as he gets back up, talking among themselves. Killua's smirk seems to loose his flare when he hears the other students laughing but it's still there. Gon brushes himself off and starts to sharpen Kurapika's pencil. He hums to himself, not letting Killua get to him.
"You can trip me once Killua but you won't be able to trip me again." Gon grins over at the other male as he walks by him. When Killua sticks out his foot in retaliation, Gon jumps up and dodges it almost gracefully before walking over to Kurapika, not seeing the dark glare on Killua's face or Alluka trying to calm him down. "Here you go!" Gon hands Kurapika his pencil.
"Gon I really don't think you should be doing that. Killua will try to make your life miserable if he's not going to try to kill you first." Kurapika glances over at Killua before he goes back to work on his math problem.
"I'm not scared of him." Gon waves Kurapika off only to wince when he moves his wrist. He's hurt it more. Before he can stop himself he starts to lick at his wrist, a whine in the back of his throat. He doesn't notice the glance Killua gives him or how those blue eyes took in how he's licking at his injured wrist. He doesn't' see that conflicting look either.
"You fell on it didn't you?" Kurapika stops doing his work to inspect Gon's wrist. Kurapika's eyebrow raises when he sees that the redness is starting to fade away.
"It will be okay." Gon pulls his hand away before smiling.
"Alright everyone turn in what you did and take your seat. It's time I pick my victim of the day." Brisky puts down this magazine she was reading and holds out her hand. Everyone comes and turns in their work. Kurapika was nice enough to put Gon's name on the paper he was working on. "Gon how about you stay up in front of the class." Gon tilts his head but obeys. Everyone else sits down and stares up at Gon. The people in the back start to whisper and snicker to themselves. Kurapika and Alluka are frowning. Killua and the black haired guy are watching him indifferently while the clown leans back and smirks.
"Tell us something about yourself." Brisky smiles sweetly. "There wasn't much in your file and I want to know more. I'm sure the whole class does. You've made quite an impression in such a short amount of time."
"What do you want to know?" Gon looks at Brisky before looking at the whole class. He didn't know everyone was so curious about him. He hasn't really done anything has he?
"How old are you~" That clown man asks, his voice is silky like a song.
"I'm 16 years old!" Gon smiles though he doesn't' really like the smile on the clown's face.
"ohh so young."
"Where are you from?" Someone shouts from the back.
Gon shifts from foot to foot. "Away from here." He hears mumbling in the back and the clown looks interested again. So does Killua, Alluka, and Kurapika. They must have noticed he avoided that question.
"What do you like to do?" Brisky asks, kicking her feet.
"I like to go outside and run and I like to fish and I like to chase bunnies and I like burgers. I like swimming and a good work out." Gon thinks for a moment, not noticing that a few people in the back are chuckling, nor does he notice Kurapika's and Alluka's small smile.
" Simpleton." Killua snorts.
"What do you not like?" Brisky seems to be enjoying this. Most of the class looks like it too.
"Hmm...I don't like maths and I really don't like clothes." Gon pulls at his shirt to prove his point.
"You could take them off if you like." That clown guy says again, licking his lips.
"Really?" Gon's eyes get bright and he starts to take off his shirt, so happy that he can take these itchy things off.
"G-Gon stop!" Kurapika's face gets red, the back of the class starts to whistle and the clown's yellow eyes have gotten darker with amusement and something else.
"You can't take your clothes off here!" Brisky quickly shakes her head and Gon pulls down his shirt, feeling confused. Some people are licking their lips while others are flushed (Kurapika and Alluka...and Killua?). "But if you come to visit me during my office hours that's another story." Brisky winks getting people to shutter again.
"Aw I was hoping I could take them off." Gon can't help to whine. He really hates these things. For some reason there's this hungry look going around the class room that Gon can't make sense of. Do they want to eat him?
"If I didn't know better Gon, I would think you're a succubus." Brisky chuckles only for the room to get silent. She frowns when she sees people in the back whispering to themselves. The girls are drooling and some of the guys. "Oops I shouldn't have said that..."
"I bet he is a succubus! That's why he doesn't want to tell us where he's from! Not wanting to wear clothes proved it and he almost took off his clothes to seduce the whole class!"
"I heard a couple of people saw him walk out without pants this morning! All the girls have been drooling about it ever since. He's huge!"
"No wonder I've been feeling strange when looking at him! A fucking succubus! He has to be! His strange ways. Its fake innocence!"
"I hope he's a succubus. I heard succubus will fuck anything. They get power from that. They live to be fucked."
The class is all talking now, looking at Gon strangely. He doesn't understand most of what they're saying but he can tell by the way Brisky is biting her lip that she doesn't think it's good. "O-Okay well you can take your seat now Gon." She mouths 'I'm sorry'. Gon doesn't get it. Why is she sorry? What is a succubus?
Gon frowns when he sees that Kurapika's giving him a strange look. So is Alluka and Killua. Killua is nodding like he just realized something while Alluka looks confused. Kurapika looks conflicted as Gon sits next to him.
"Um...Gon?" Kurapika fiddles with his pencil. "...You're not trying to um..." Kurapika takes a deep breath. His cheeks are getting red. "...are you trying to mate with me?"
"Huh?" Gon tilts his head, becoming confused. "I don't think so why?"
"I will not ask what creature you are but I can't help to wonder if you are a...succubus." Kurapika studies Gon. "You don't seem to be interested in school. More so in making friends and...sticking by me." Kurapika flushes again before looking forward. "I did some studying on succubuses before and I know you have to find many mates. That's your main focus. I'm sorry to say that I can not be your mate. Vampires only have one mate so if we were to...mate that would be it. I know you can't be with one mate so it won't work. I'm not interested in a mate right now anyway so-"
"I'm confused." Gon frowns. He doesn't even know what a succubus is and he doesn't' understand why Kurapika is talking about mating with him. "Whats a succubus and why are you talking about mating with me?"
Kurapika's eyebrows furrow and he opens his mouth-
"He's definably a succubus." Killua snorts, getting Gon to look back at him. "He'll send anyone a naked picture. He's loose like that."
There's a lot of talk after that. Everyone is looking at him strangely. Alluka glares at her brother and so does Kurapika.
"ohh Gon I want a picture." The clown man leans over.
"So do I!" A girl in the back shouts.
"Gon you should come home with me tonight!" Another girl yells.
"Wow a lot of people want pictures of me." Gon blinks only for Kurapika to stand up and to grab Gon's arm.
"Brisky we are leaving."
"Y-Yeah go on ahead." Brisky bites her lip. She looks guilty as Kurapika leads Gon out of the room.
"Hey Kurapika! Don't hog the succubus all to yourself!" someone shouts after them.
"You're not a succubus are you? You really looked confused." Kurapika snarls. "Killua is trying to worsen your reputation. I admit I was suckered in by it too at first. Your ways are so different and I just can't tell what creature you are...and the way you look at me and the others I just...but I was foolish. Those looks aren't the looks of a mate. You're just kind."
"Kurapika whats wrong? You look mad." Gon frowns. "Is a succubus bad? Everyone seemed to like me in there."
"Yes because they think that you will-" Kurapika starts only to stop when he looks into those big amber orbs. He frowns before his eyes flicker scarlet. "we'll think of a way to clear your name. When ever someone calls you a succubus, tell them you are not. People will try to take advantage of you." Kurapika thinks for a moment before he sighs. "if that doesn't work...i'll come up with something else."
Gon nods slowly, not really understanding what just happened. He's still trying to catch up with the fact Kurapika was talking about mating with him and then everyone was asking for his picture.
"Let's just head towards our next class." Kurapika stops suddenly. He grabs his phone out of his pocket and reads this message. His eyes narrow. "Gon keep going straight in till you hit room 156. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'll be back soon." Kurapika turns and starts heading down the other way. Gon wants to follow him but Kurapika is just going to the bathroom. He said he would be back. Gon listens to his master and starts to walk down the hallway, still trying to make sense of everything.
"Well look who it is. You're that mother fucker that got in my way the other day." Gon turns on his heel when he hears that voice, a glare coming to his expression when he sees that goat man from yesterday. The one who attacked Alluka. He smirks before he snaps his fingers. Other goat men come from out of the hallways, blocking his exits. "You can't run away this time."
"I didn't want to run yesterday but I didn't want to risk you hurting Alluka." Gon spreads his legs, feeling a growl In the back of his throat.
"Why do you even care about her?She's cursed. She killed one of my buddies, turning him into nothing but a pile of blood." This goat man stomps his foot on the ground, those eyes getting darker.
"Alluka did that?" Gon tilts his head.
"Yeah and now I'm going to stomp your head in till your brains are nothing but mush! Rot in hell!" This man growls only for him and all his friends to charge towards Gon.
The raven haired male finds a smile coming to his lips. He's finally going to be able to fight. Gon is going to be weaker without having his ears and tail but he thinks he can manage. These guys aren't as tough as they appear. The only thing they have backing them up is their weight. Gon can use that against them.
Right when all his enemies get on Gon, the boy's eyes turn almost black. In that moment, all these goat men regret picking a fight with Gon freeces.
"I can't believe you said that." Alluka shakes her head, giving her older brother a glare.
"Said what?" Killua snorts, looking out of the window.
"You know what. You know Gon isn't a succubus. You called him loose. He's not like that-"
"How do you know? I think he's a succubus. It makes sense." It explains why he got warm when he saw Gon's naked picture and the strange flipping of his stomach when he first looked at him today and the excitement he felt when Gon was about to undress in front of the class. Yet at the same time he was pissed off because everyone else was looking too. It's all because Gon is a succubus and is using his strange powers on him. "He was trying to seduce me last night. And I bet he's trying to get into your pants too-"
"He isn't like that!" Killua's eyes widen when Alluka shouts at him. He looks over at her slowly, seeing those blue eyes bore into his. "You're being so mean. Gon has been nothing but nice to you even when you pushed him and tripped him. I think...no I know he's not a succubus. And by saying what you did, now everyone thinks the rumor is true." Alluka frowns, looking forward. "Gon said he wanted to be your friend and you pretty much called him a whore in front of the whole class. Word will get around and Gon didn't' even seem to know what was going on, the poor thing."
"I don't want to be his friend, I don't' want him to be nice to me. I just want him to stay away and he didn't listen to me so I punished him. Really Alluka, getting worked up over some moron of a guy. I bet he has his magic on you too." Killua's eyes narrow In anger. "He's not going to mate with you. I'm going to kill-"
"I don't like him like that. Mating with him hasn't crossed my mind. You're taking this too far! If you would just open your eyes and see, I know you would really like having Gon as your friend. Though now I don't even know if you deserve him as one." Alluka squeezes her bear to her chest, frowning when she hears the suggestive conversations about Gon.
"Alluka, he flirted with the hag. That just proves he's a succubus. He'll mate with anyone." Killua finds himself losing his voice. What is this...does he actually feel bad about this? No. Gon is a succubus. He has to be. That's the only explanation for the strange reactions his body is having towards the other male. It's pissing him off. The fact he feels bad and the fact of thinking about Gon mating with anyone, sending pictures to everyone makes him pissed off...And he doesn't get that either. Why the hell does he care?
"Gon is just nice! You need to stop with this Killua. You know he's not a succubus. He wasn't trying to seduce anyone." Alluka huffs. "I'm not going to talk to you in till you fix this." Alluka crosses her arms.
"You wouldn't do that to your most favorite big brother." Killua gives her a playful smile. She only puffs out her cheeks. Not saying anything in return. Killua sighs. "come on Alluka. I'm your family. He's just some guy you met. I'm doing this for you own good." She still doesn't respond. Killua stuffs his hands into his pockets, feeling almost...worse now.
Alluka has never given him the silent treatment before. Is this Gon guy really that special that she's acting like this? All he did was state the truth...right? It has to be the truth. If not then that would mean...Well. He doesn't know what it would mean but he doesn't' like it. Besides all the people in the class room looked like they wanted to fuck him so...damn! Why is he getting pissed at thinking about that?! Maybe it's because Gon has made him like the rest of the class- it's not like he wants to fuck him or anything! Killua groans and hits his head on the table. Why is this happening? Alluka hasn't said anything to him before about being mean to people. He's always done what he's had to do to protect Alluka...
So why is Gon different? Why the hell is he so special?
The bell rings. Killua stands up with Alluka, his sister still not looking at him or speaking with him as they walk out of the classroom together. Killua ignores Illumi who is staring at them. He shows his claws in warning, letting his older brother know he's not going to mess around. Killua still feels uneasy around him.
As soon as they get out they see someone running down the hallway, looking nervous. " Rex's group is teaming up on the new kid. Someone should stop them."
Alluka's eyes light up and she frowns deeply. "Oh no! Brother!" Alluka looks at Killua, those eyes big and watery. "They're attacking him because of me. Help him."
"I thought you weren't talking to me." Killua can't help to look away from his sister. He frowns when she starts to tug at his arm. "Ugh fine. I'll save his ass but that doesn't mean he's going to be staying around us." Killua starts to be dragged by his sister, his face indifferent. Yet he's feeling...something. He can't explain it and he doesn't want to. Killua's eyes widen slightly when he takes in the mess before him.
All the goat men are laying on the ground unconscious. Gon stands in the middle of them all, brushing off his hands. "Sorry I should have gone easier on you guys." Gon sticks out his tongue. "Don't worry, I didn't break anything. You should be fine once you wake up!" Gon smiles before he notices that Killua and Alluka are staring at him with wide eyes.
"Alluka! Killua!" Gon cheers and rushes over towards them. Those amber eyes are so bright and there's this grin on his lips. He looks full of energy.
"You took all them out by yourself?" Alluka blinks. "Wow Gon you're really strong!"
"ne not really." Gon rubs the back of his head. "I still have a long way to go! I need to get stronger."
Killua can't stop himself from staring. He underestimated this guy. He's stronger than he thought. There's this nagging feeling in the back of his mind...a voice of reason whispering to him. Succubus aren't fighters. They use others for their fights. Gon fought his own battle and won. Actually wait. He doesn't know that. Maybe he seduced one of the goat men and sent them against each other? He doesn't know.
"I'm just glad you're not hurt." Alluka smiles.
"Nope I'm fine!" Gon does a spin, smiling brightly. Alluka chuckles. Killua hates it but he finds his hard expression soften just a tiny bit. He's going to say it was from his sister laughing. Not from the smile on Gon's face. "What class do you guys have next?" Gon looks from Alluka to Killua. He doesn't look at Killua meanly at all.
Killua doesn't like it. He should hate him. Why is he still looking like he's done nothing to him? Why is he looking at him like they could still be friends?
"Science."
"Me too! We should all sit together! Kurapika ran to the bathroom but he will be back." Gon seems to look behind them, searching for the vampire.
"Only an idiot would sit with Kurapika. You must have a death wish." Killua's eyes darken and he moves closer, his hand turning into a claw. "I can happily grant it for you."
"Wow that's so cool!" Gon stares at his hand with wide eyes. "You can just turn your fingers sharp! And you can run really fast! Aww mannn!" Gon whines and throws his head back. "Why can't I do something cool like that? I can't do anything right now." Gon kicks at the ground, pouting.
"What the hell, don't call me cool when i'm about to kill you!" Killua finds himself scolding.
"I can't help it!" Gon chuckles. "Killua is just too cool-"
"You must think I won't do it." Killua's voice gets dark, ignoring that strange flutter of his heart. "I've killed countless people with these claws. I've skinned people's faces off. I've tortured people. Everyday I kill someone and I enjoy it. I will enjoy taking your life and watching as your eyes become empty." Killua could make himself shiver at the tone he's using. He wants this guy to pee his pants. He wants this guy to run away and never come back.
"Oh no, I know you will do it." Gon shakes his head, waving him off. "I don't doubt that. Even though I know you want to kill me...I also have a feeling that you don't. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking? I know you killed people and I know you're an assassin but you're not going to scare me off. I know that's what you're trying to do. I want to be Alluka's friend and I also want to be your friend Killua. You can keep trying to scare me off but it won't work."
"You're insane. You know I'm an assassin, you know my reputation but here you are, standing in front of me with no ounce of fear." Killua takes a step forward, holding his claws back like he's about to strike him.
"Brother." Alluka frowns before she gets in front of Gon. "Give him a chance. If you kill him i'll never talk to you again."
"Really now-" Killua starts only to stop when he sees Alluka give him puppy dog eyes. He frowns.
"You don't have to make your brother upset because of me Alluka." Gon smiles at his friend. "He's just trying to protect you. I'll work my way up and earn his trust. I bet if I had a sister I would be the same way." Gon smiles at Killua and he feels his throat go dry. "you have a good brother."
Why...is he being so nice? Why isn't he looking at him with hate or fear? Why does he look determined? This fire in his eyes? Killua doesn't understand him. He can't understand. Something has to be wrong with his brain. Gon knows he's killed people. Gon knows he would kill him yet he still insists on talking to Alluka and him despite all his warnings and his mean treatment towards him. Gon is a fool.
Alluka is frowning but she seems to nod. "He's good but sometimes he takes things too far..." Alluka walks away from Gon, hugging Killua's arm, looking up at him with a frown. He can almost read her mind. Look how nice he is. See what I was talking about?
Killua understands Gon is different but he still can't trust him. He's sure Gon is causing this fluttering of his heart. He doesn't like it.
"Lets go to class." Gon smiles before he walks over to their science room and walks in. Killua feels frustrated. Gon should be shaking in his boots. He should be scared to death but he's not. It pisses Killua off.
Despite what his sister has said and what he's seen...Killua has to try harder. He's going to have to hurt him.
Killua will show Gon who is the alpha around here. He will show this succubus that he has no power over him. Killua won't fall for his tricks.
Killua's heart beats a little faster when Gon turns back to give him a smile. So bright and goofy.
No. He'll show him what a demon he is. He'll make him scared to come out of his home. Alluka may not talk to him forever...
But he can't let this fool, this succubus, this mere commoner get the best of him. Gon needs to learn his place.
And Killua is going to show it to him.
