"EEE-" Kalluto's hand flies over his mouth to stop his otherworldly high pitched squeal from the shock of the lights going out.
Rin stares at Kalluto for a sec.
"Pffft." Rin sputters, covering his mouth.
"Oh shut up..." Kalluto grumbles.
"I didn't even say anything." Rin scoffs.
"Oh Gon, the words on the page glow in the dark." Killua nudges Gon, looking at the list. "Let's see..."
"Hm. Why don't we look for The Markings Of A Warrior?" Gon suggests.
"Alright. What kind of exhibits do think that'd be?" Killua asks.
"Native American?" Gon thinks aloud.
"Reasonable enough." Killua shrugs. Luckily the museum map is electronic so Gon and Killua can see it. "Native Ameri- ah, here. It's not too far from the Mayan exhibits."
An Hour And A Half Later
"Time's up!!!" A booming voice says over speakers. "All visitors please make your way back to the starting point."
Killua and Gon meet up with a few other pairs from their group and head back to the starting point. "How many things did you guys find?" Gon asks Nobunaga, who was paired with Machi.
"Sixty-three." Nobunaga says. "You guys?"
"Thirty-two." Gon chuckles.
The announcer on stage clears his throat. "Separate into five lines over by the front desk to get your findings counted!"
Everyone's findings are getting tallied up by the people running the scavenger hunt. So far the winning duo is a couple with eighty-nine artifacts found. Gon and Killua are checked and then they move out of the way for the next person. They see Kurapika and Chrollo arguing in the line."What exactly is up with those two?" Killua asks Gon.
"You could say they're rivals. I guess." Gon shrugs. "At least Kurapika sees it that way. Chrollo has no interest in the competition, but he finds Kurapika pretty entertaining when pissed off. Nobunaga thinks Chrollo may just have a thing for Pika."
Killua's eyes widen. He looks back at the two partners arguing. Kurapika glaring and spouting angriness, Chrollo grinning and shooting comebacks at him. "Oh I can totally see that."
Kurapika and Chrollo get their total counted, and then get out of everyone's way. Killua and Gon can start to make out their argument as they move closer.
"Well we would've been done a lot sooner if you would've stopped laughing your lazy ass off for two seconds and just communicate!" Kurapika reaches to pull on Chrollo's ear, but Chrollo stops him by grabbing his arm.
"We would've been done sooner if you weren't so blind." Chrollo chuckles.
"Oh we'll see who's blind-"
"Woah! Woahoho!" Gon steps between them, taking Kurapika's arms away from Chrollo. "Jesus Christ, Kurapika. Chill out would you?"
Killua sucks in a breath, trying not to laugh at the situation in front of him. Kurapika crosses his arms, narrowing his eyes at Chrollo. Chrollo straightens up his shirt that was no doubt roughed up by a certain spiteful blonde.
Gon sighs. "So, uh... how'd you guys do?"
"Oh we found all one hundred." Chrollo tells him.
"Dayum." Killua scoffs. "Looks like we've got our winners, then."
"No thanks to headband over there." Kurapika nods to Chrollo.
Chrollo laughs. "It would've been no fun if I told you every time I found something. You're too cute when you're so focused. Even when you're annoyed or frustrated."
Kurapika flushes bright red. He growls, stepping towards Chrollo. "Listen here you little fuc-"
Gon steps away, deciding to save his own life rather than getting in the middle of that. He and Killua leave those two to their... conversation. "Nobunaga's definitely onto something." Killua snorts.
Gon laughs. "I think so."
Turns out, Chrollo and Kurapika won a coupon for a local buffet popular for romantic dates. Kurapika was kinda annoyed by that- really, it could've been any restaurant. Could've been something casual like fast food. Nope. Had to be a coupon for two free hours at the most romantic (and affordable) restaurant in town.
Kurapika only agreed to it because it's free food, and he doesn't have to sit at the same table as Chrollo. They just have to show up together.
"Nope!" Killua blocks his roommate from leaving their apartment. "You are not going out in that! It's no different from what you wear when you're brooding over a tub of ice cream binging shows on your bed!"
"And why exactly should I dress any different?" Kurapika raises an eyebrow.
Killua smirks. "I'd bet you Chrollo sure ain't dressing like that. Aren't you two all about one-upping each other?"
Kurapika hums, crossing his arms. "You're right... that rat is probably going to be all dolled up..."Killua grins.
"Exactly. So get back in your room and change. Borrow something of mine if you need to."
Killua waits for Kurapika to be dressed. In the meantime he texts Gon, telling him he convinced Kurapika to dress nice. Gon is at Chrollo's flat with a few of Chrollo's friends that leech off of him. He texts Killua that Kurapika will die when he sees Chrollo.
"Alright, I'm done." Kurapika steps back out, Killua surveys his attire.
A salmon dress shirt with the top two buttons undone, a black choker, and form-fitting black slacks. He has silver cufflinks with crosses on them, and black leather dress shoes. Kurapika takes a hands and rakes back the hair over his left eye, swooping it over the right.
Killua grins in approval. "Huh. So you can manage to be hot." Kurapika glares, and Killua throws his hands up.
"I should get going." Kurapika sighs. "Do you have Chrollo's number?"
"Uh yeah."
"Tell him I'm on my way." Kurapika grabs a tan leather jacket.
"Why not text him yourself?" Killua asks.
"I don't have his number, nor do I want it." Kurapika huffs.
"I'm sure it would make nagging him a lot easier-"
"Killua, I said I don't want it." Kurapika states. "I'm going now, I'll see you later."
"Yeah, see ya." Killua waves, sitting on the couch. He texts Gon that Kurapika is on his way, and then he texts Chrollo the same thing. "Well, by the end of the night we'll either have a body to bury or a wedding to plan." He chuckles, tucking his phone away.
Well... luckily Kurapika brought his own shovel-
