An Assassin's Magic Show

Chapter 1

It has been a few years since Hisoka and Illumi got engaged. But, this engagement isn't as it seems, it's not because of love. No. Or that's what they thought...

At the beginning of the engagement Hisoka was living with Illumi in the Zoldyck Mansion. Though, after a while Illumi was tired of living with his parents. Always telling him what to do, being in his business, he wasn't really allowed to leave the house, it got annoying. Hisoka on the other hand didn't mind living there. He thought it was nice. But, they moved out and decided to get single bedroom studio apartment in Tokyo.

As they were unpacking Illumi said, "What's the point of living together anyway? It's not like we actually like each other."

"Oh Illumi, don't be like that. I know you like being with me." Hisoka smirks as he looks at Illumi. "Plus it's fun and we get to be together more." Hisoka says as he makes his way to sit down on a nearby chair.

Illumi knew this was true but he didn't want to admit to it so he looks at Hisoka with annoyance and says, "I ask of you to not portray your silly thoughts on me." Illumi looks away avoiding eye contact with Hisoka.

"Ok Mr. Fancy. We're acting all proper now? You can just be yourself you know. Let loose, relax we have our own place now your parents aren't breathing down our back. We can do whatever we want!"

"Well right now I want to finish unpacking all our stuff because I have some important things I have to do later. Its already 5pm and there's no time to be fooling around." Illumi opens a box full of blankets and puts them in the bedroom closet.

Illumi is busy a lot and doesn't spend much time with anyone else. He's either up late reading documents about his target or meeting with someone to get another target.

"Jeez, you're always in a rush. And you're so boring." Said Hisoka as he got up to look at the view out the living room window. "This view is amazing, I could sit here all day and look at this." He thought.

"And you're always procrastinating! And don't call me boring!" Illumi yells as he is walking back to living room ready to open another box.

"Ok, ok, I'll help. Only if you promise to try and make time to stay home one day this week. You push yourself too hard and you need a day to just do nothing." As Hisoka said this he carries the towels to the bathroom closet.

"Well look at who cares about me." Illumi giggled a little. "You know, I never took you as the type of person who cares for others."

Hisoka ignores what Illumi said and continues to put things around the apartment as Illumi unboxes them for him. Six hours later they were completely unpacked and settled into their new, cozy apartment, completely away from the chaos at the Zoldyck Mansion.

They were sitting on the couch when Illumi said, "Hey Hisoka, I changed my mind, I'm going to stay here. The meeting I had today is going to have to be rescheduled. Its also just too late to go out now." Illumi knew that once he said this Hisoka was going to go all soft and say something cute.

"Then can we watch a movie together?" Says Hisoka with a wide smile on his face as he signals Illumi to sit closer to him.

"Yeah, ok sure whatever you want." Illumi was actually tired and wanted to go to bed but he knew if he did Hisoka would just bug him about it tomorrow. He also liked Hisoka when he acts like this but would never admit to that out loud. So he scooted over and grabbed the TV remote off the coffee table in front of him.

"Ok, I'll be right back." Hisoka gets up to grab some blankets from the bedroom closet. He came back 3 minutes later with 2 blankets and a bag of chips from the kitchen cupboard.

They had decided on The Grudge 2. Illumi got up to cut the lights off and walked back over to the couch. When he sat back down he wrapped the blanket around himself. Half way through the movie Illumi fell asleep, blanket covering his body and his head in Hisoka's lap. This was the first time he's ever gotten this comfortable. If this were any other time Illumi would have gotten up and went to bed when he started feeling tired but this time he was too tired to move. When Hisoka noticed he slowly carried Illumi to the bed making sure not to wake him. He placed Illumi into bed making sure that he is completely covered by the blankets and as comfortable as possible.

"It's something about Illumi that makes him different than anyone else, but in a good way. When I'm around him I feel...happier than normal. It's a feeling that I rarely ever feel. Almost like I'm as light as a feather. " Hisoka thinks as he walks over to cut the lights off in the room. "Hmm,  I shouldn't stay up too late, I need to get some sleep, can't be too tired in the morning." He walks back over to the bed and lays down.

In the middle of the night Illumi's phone started ringing, when he went to look and see who it is, it was his mom. He had at least 48 text messages and 9 other calls from her.

Illumi was furious, he quickly answered the phone and said, "WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY WANT FROM ME NOW?"

To this his mother responded is a soft tone, "I want you to come back home."

Illumi couldn't take it anymore he was tired and aggravated so he hung up and texted Killua.

[Illumi] Can you go talk to mom?

[Killua] Why 🙄

[Illumi] Its 4am and I need to SLEEP! She won't leave me alone.

[Killua] You never do anything for me so why should I do this for you?

[Illumi] I'll pay you in chocolate robots.

[Killua] DEAL!

[Illumi] Thank you.

[Killua] 😒 I'm only doing it for the chocolate.

Illumi felt relieved to know he could go back to sleep in peace. He turned placed the phone back on the night table beside the bed and turned over to face Hisoka after noticing he woke up.

He was lying on his side with his arm propped up by his pillow and his head in his palm when he said to Illumi, "Having some troubles at home?" Hisoka wasn't too concerned because he knew this was going to happen sooner or later.

Illumi takes a quick glance at Hisoka and rolles back over to face the wall. "No, it's not a big deal. Nothing to worry about." He buries himself under the blanket to try and go back to sleep.
