Love sick

♡Fifteen♡

Gon stood there, wide-eyed. He knew the response he was supposed to give, but he was left speechless. All this time he's been scheming and murdering to get to his own love all while someone else was crushing on him from a distance. He gulped nervously at the awkward, deafening silence before deciding to answer.

"Go-"

"I'm sorry, but no." Gon interrupted rather bluntly.

Aoi stood there, now her turn to be shocked, "O-oh." She never thought of the idea of rejection, she thought she'd at least have a chance.

"Yeah, sorry," Gon licked his lips, trying not to sound harsh, not because he was worried about her feelings but because he didn't want word to spread that he was some sort of asshole when he was still trying to win Killua's heart. "I'm sorry if that came across as rude, that wasn't my intention. I just...I'm not really looking for a relationship right now."

That's a lie

Aoi stood there, mouth agape, eyes wide. Her shoulders dropped at the words, disappointment written across her face, "Oh, it's alright, I-I understand."

Gon stood there, feeling awkward. Aoi wasn't meeting his eyes, looking down, "I-I have to go." She moved quickly passed him, and Gon swore he saw tears...but it didn't matter to him, he was just worried that it would give him a bad image.

Gon sighed to himself, took in the scenery before him, wondering if Killua likes views like this since he took a photography class, before walking out as well. It was after school so there we're only a few people there. He walked down the stairs and made a small detour to Killua's locker. He reached into the side pocket of his bag and pulled out another note he had written in class.

He flattened it out a little, making sure it looked neat and pretty before slipping it into the locker for Killua to hopefully find in the morning. He hoped that Killua would like the note like he did all the others, forgetting completely about the confession just minutes before.

That night when he went home, he slept, curled up into a ball in blankets.

Weeks passed and the pair had more communication with each other, Killua initiating most of the time since Gon was shy. The boy thought he was making real progress, he hadn't heard of anyone planning to make a move on Killua, let alone have a crush or liking to him, and he's also been able to talk to Killua more and hopefully get close enough to win his heart over soon.

Today was no different.

It was their physical education class and Gon was practicing at track and field like usual. He had just finished running his 3rd 400 metre dash and he was a bit tired, he couldn't seem to beat his record of 47 seconds. The coach praised Gon, saying how he's the best on the team, as Gon kept thanking him and saying that he does work hard to try his best.

The coach dismissed them and the others to go shower before continuing with the rest of their classes. While walking back, Gon hears a familiar, gentle voice, "Gonny!"

Gon turned around, smiling, "H-Hi, Killua." The two walked together towards the showers. "How was your track stuff?"

"It's the same, I can't seem to beat my own record though for 400 metre dash."

"Don't you hold the city's record for that?" Killua asked, almost praising a little.

"Y-yeah." Gon responded, a little shy. "How was your practice?"

"Same as usual, being team captain is a bit difficult when all the other team members are childish and hard to manage."

"Hm, I'm sorry about that. Maybe you should be harder and stricter on them." Gon's mind wondered at his own words to a few scenarios he has on his own when thinking of the older.

"Ah, that's kinda hard. Apparently, I don't seem intimidating to others." Killua chuckled nervously. Gon looked up at the other, wanting to counter that statement especially when seeing how the other looked with the pins- holding up his bangs, exposing his eyebrows and forehead.

I beg to differ...

They reached the showers and parted ways, both going to separate parts of the locker room. Killua joined some of his other teammates while Gon went to alone to the showers. He overheard the chatter from the other students who were changing and showering, not caring as he washed himself quickly.

He shampooed his hair and washed his body quickly, not liking the idea of anyone showering near him. He finished, drying off and changing quickly, a towel resting on his head as he exited the showers and towards the lockers.

He moved quickly as he packed away his track uniform and was about to exit until he caught eye of one particular person showering. Luckily, everyone else was in the showers, continuing their conversations so no one noticed the boy who happened to take a long glance at the an albino boy.

Gon shook his head, knowing he was staring for too long with stars in his eyes, so he quickly turned away, blushing furiously as he moved out of the locker room, the image forever engraved in his head.

He made his way down the hall, trying to calm himself down as he felt himself getting all hot and bothered. He didn't even notice the pair of girls he walked by, but what he did notice was their conversation.

"So you like him too?"

"Uh, duh, have you seen Killua? Who wouldn't like a guy like that?"

Gon turned the nearby corner to listen, becoming agitated. It had been weeks since Yuki and the school atmosphere had returned to normal, or at least less heightened, and Gon didn't know how he would be able to handle another elimination without freaking everyone out.

"Well, isn't this an awkward situation; you like him and I like him, what to do, what to do?"

You can fuck off, that's what you could do...

"I got it! Let's make a bet."

"Seriously, Kikyo?"

"Yeah! I mean, c'mon,  Uzumaki, we could see who'll win Killua over first, and whoever does so wins. Easy."

Gon's eyes widened at the words, 'Please, don't do this..', not only would he have to worry about one, but two people if this were to-

"Deal!"

"Alright, may whichever best friend win!" Both girls shook hands while giggling, Gon slapping a hand over his face.

You got to be shitting me

Heyyyy! How are you?

So I'm on vacation, which means updates!

There will probably be a double update at some point but I don't know yet!
