two.

Throughout that sleepless night, the familiar presence Hisoka sensed didn't falter. They would shift sometimes, making them more pungent or faint - but it was always there like they were watching over you and him. He knew who it was. It was powerful and beautiful, similar to yours. 

He blinks slowly, eyes bloodshot and exhausted as he shuffles his cards, performing little magic tricks for you here and there to keep you awake. "Pick a card." 

You oblige, reaching out to pull a card from the pile, not looking at the number on the back until he gave you further instruction. He motions with his fingers for you to read the card, and once more - you oblige. It was a five of hearts. 

"Five of hearts." He mutters, shuffling the pile again. This trick was too easy for him, but it was something to merely keep the two of you awake as the sun peeked through the trees. 

"Yeah..." You toss him the card back, going back to rest your head on his shoulder. He looked like shit, and you were sure you did as well - although he would never outwardly say that. He thought you were gorgeous, even with dark circles the color of the night sky prominent under your eyes. 

"Go to sleep, Y/N. I'll keep you safe." He doesn't look up from his cards, tracing the tip of his nail over an ace he pulled. You don't hesitate as you close your eyes, wishing sleep would wash away the tension built in your muscles. You trusted him with every ounce and fiber of your being, knowing that he'd never, ever let you get hurt.  

"Hisoka. I'm offended that you turned down my invitation." A voice, soft with youth, but supple with danger knocked you from drifting off. You can't believe you didn't sense his aura. Hisoka didn't move, so you assumed they were friendly, or not enough of a threat for him to move from his spot. A soft, steady clicking sound emitted from the direction of the voice, but you kept your eyes shut - Hisoka wanted you to sleep. 

"Gittarackur, what a pleasant surprise." Hisoka's melodic drawl was calm, and that made you calm. That name sounded familiar, you think vaguely that he told you about him. 

"One second." The other male sighs and silence follow - the soft clack of metal the only thing noticeable to your ears besides the soft hum of the morning birds. He lets out a little painful grunt before sighing. 

"Ah, Illumi ~ Y/N, wake up, there's someone I'd like you to meet." He drags his knuckles over your chin, and you blink open your eyes, the brightness of the morning sun burning the absolute hell out of your scleras as you shut them closed. "Poor little hunter." 

"Don't call me that." You recoil, rubbing your dry eyes with your fists before opening them back up. You look up, eyes following his legs, then to his waist - drawn in and slim, similar to Hisoka's, and then to his face, wide eyes looking back down at you, meeting your gaze. He looked almost... beautiful. A feminine beautiful - you could get lost in his dark irises easily. They were hypnotizing. 

"Illumi, this is the one I was telling you about - my spade. Y/N, this is Illumi." 

He kneels, head cocking to the side ever so slightly as he all but examines your face. His hair fell over his shoulders in a raven waterfall, his features petite except for the black cesspools in his eyes. "I haven't a clue why we're just now meeting. I've known Hisoka for years. He always talks about you." 

You look down, his gaze stinging and uncomfortable as you shrug haphazardly. "I know he does. For a man like him, he's madly in love." 

"How could I not be, my sweet ~" Hisoka purrs, nudging his nose against your ear lobe, nibbling it softly. You shrug him off, not wanting to make the man in front of you uncomfortable even though he's probably seen much worst than soft affection.
