My Knight. Killua x Gon. Prince and knight AU.

Let's Run Away! Part 1

     Killua sat on his bed bouncing his leg trying to get some of his anxiety out.

     "I can't believe I actually asked for him to be my personal knight! I'm so stupid." Killua thought out loud as he fell back on his bed. He looked up at the ceiling and Gon's face came to his mind. "He didn't seem sad to be my knight though." Killua added.

     As Killua's thoughts left his mouth Gotoh stepped into the room with Gon close behind him. Killua sat up quickly to meet Gon's face. Gon gave him a bright smile.

     "Protect the Prince with your life." Gotoh instructed.

    "Of course! I will never let harm come to him!" Gon exclaimed happily.

     Killua blushed and looked down embarrassed to let anyone see his lack of control over his emotions.

     "Alright then. I'll leave you to it." Gotoh replied as if rehearsed.

     He walked away and closed the door tightly behind him.

     Killua's heart raced as the thought set in that he was alone with Gon in his room.

     "Wow! I can't believe that you are the Prince! I guess I should have known from how elegant you look." Gon exclaimed.

     Killua's blushed deepened. "You're not mad?" Killua asked with a nervous pit in his stomach.

     "Of course not! I get to be the Prince's best friend. That's pretty awesome." Gon replied.

     Killua's mind raced to try and understand why Gon wasn't mad at him for lying. The thought that maybe he was trying to take advantage of him crossed his mind. But he was already nice to him before he knew. Did he always know? That would make sense. But it didn't seem like he knew from his reaction. What was going on?

     "But, I lied to you." Killua added sheepishly.

     There was a moment or two of silence. Gon tilted his head to look at Killua.

     "Well that was just cause you were scared wasn't it?" Gon asked.

     Killua felt a wave of shock wash over him. Killua's eyes widened at the thought that Gon had already known. How did he know? What gave him away?

     "What do you mean?" Killua asked in shaky voice.

     "Well you just wanted some friends. I can see how that would be pretty hard if everyone knew you were the prince. We don't mind though!" Gon assured Killua.

     Killua's heart and mind were glazed over with shock and confusion he just had to believe and except Gon's answer for the time being. He could think how to ask his questions, and the more Gon answered the ones he did the more confused he felt.

     "So. What do you do for fun?" Gon asked Killua walking over to his bed and sitting next to him.

     "Um, Well. Sometimes I train to pass the time." Killua answered honestly.

     "No no. I mean like when you aren't training." Gon explained.

     Killua thought for a moment. "Well. Sometimes I go and talk to my sister." Killua answered.

     "Oh the princess! What is she like?" Gon asked bouncing up and down on the bed.

     Killua couldn't help but smile at Gon's infectious joy. "She's younger than me. She has long black hair like Illumi and she is sweet. She's a great listener." Killua explained.
