HxH: Fraternal Twins

Chapter 17: A date~

A loud yawn occurred, coming from a bedroom. Rui stepped out into the hallway and closed the door behind her, it was her guest room. Poku rode on her shoulder and watched as Rui paced herself down the hall, it was early in the morning and she was drowsy. I want my nee-chan... she mentally mumbled while gradually growing a grin. "I'm so happy that she finally got together with her childhood, love interest. She even got to go on a date! That would be nice..." She stopped in mid-pace at seeing Illumi standing in front of her and Ruby behind him; the bug twin squealed and ran to Illumi, engulfing him into a large hug then faced Ruby, doing the same. "Ohaiyo, neeee-chan, Illumi-kun!" Rui happily squeaked with a big smile and closed eyes.

"Ohaiyo... Rui-chan..." Her twin greeted with a bit of tiredness in her voice. "I see Poku's still attached as ever. I heard from Illumi yesterday that Soren's in your room, can I get him?" Asked the bird twin, while keeping her stern expression.

"HAAAAAI!" Rui rose an arm up above her head cheerfully with closed eyes and a big grin. As Ruby was about to pass her, she opened her bug eyes and instantly became worried. Her features changed from happy-go-lucky to concerned. Something's bothering my sissy... I can see her aura colors... What could be bothering her? Is she worried about Soren...? Maybe Hisoka? Rui mentally spoke and furrowed her brows in worry, before getting tapped on her free shoulder by Illumi.

"Yes?!" Exclaimed with a gleeful mask, she turned around only to get kissed out of the blue. Rui's face lit up bright red as she watched his half-lidded eyes stare deeply into her pink ones. He broke the soft kiss and gazed upon her with his usual blank eyes. From that moment, she began to get comically tipsy with swirls in her eyes and a tomato-red flush. "Yeeeeessss...?~" Right before face-planting into Illumi's chest, she questioned her lover in a daze. A large puff of smoke puffed out of her head once she felt his torso.

The monotonous man just stood there, cheeks barely tinted and eyes still half-lidded. "Hisoka had finally returned... I asked him where he went but he didn't answer. Later, after he stayed a while, he suggested for us to go on a...date." He replied as watched Rui perk up instantaneously. Suddenly getting tackled to the ground, he felt her lips press against his own rather excitedly after shrieking, "Yeeeeeeeees! I wanna go!"Pure happiness could be heard in her voice at that moment.

"Where do you want to go?" He asked, still keeping his blank, half-lidded gaze present and obvious tinted cheeks.

"The Zoo!" Yelling from excitement, she rose both her arms up above her head and giggled madly. Seeing Illumi nod, he got up and turned around then made his way toward the mansion's entrance door. Hisoka said that going on a...date helps a... Relationship. Perhaps he could give me some advice, on how this sort of thing works. Mentally noting, soon came a question that started to gnaw at him. Would my parents allow marriage...when it consists of a mutant and an assassin...? Asking himself in his head with, of course, no emotion on his face... He shifted his black voids to Rui who was walking by his side happily.

~~~countless minutes later~~~

"WHAAAAAAAAA!~ SUGOIIII!" Rui expressed with joy and kept her bug wings tucked downward against her back. Illumi couldn't keep his eyes off of her, he was staring at her from the sidelines in amusement even though he didn't show it. Rui gawked at the containers that held...insects... Watching all the butterflies flutter up higher into the air and other harmless bugs going about their own business.
