chapter 4

Illumi arrived home surprised to see his father in the living room. Silva is usually on missions so he doesn't spend any time a home. This time tho he was chilling on the couch.

I: Dad... I didn't know you were home. Why are you here, weren't you supposed to be on a mission?

His dad didn't move an inch, he was facing the tv not saying a word. This was kind of wierd and Illumi was becoming to feel a little scared. He walked slowly towards the couch. He instantly froze as he saw something he never ever thought he would see. Silva was on the couch, sitting, his clothes full of blood and... a hole in his chest and his heart was in his chest. Illumi's first instinct was to touch the body but he quickly realized that the person who killed Silva was probably still inside the house hiding somewhere. Since that person had managed to kill his dad, he was for sure a strong person, definitely too strong for Illumi to be able to defeat him. He didn't even think twice, he immediately ran out of the house and kept running away, not having a certain destination. 'Where do i go now, what do i do? I can't go home, I'll be dead in a second. Oh, I know!!'

He continued running, not stopping at all, not even for half a second. At some point it started pouring outside, heavy drops of water were hitting his skin as he kept running. It was cold and his clothes were soaked in a second, but that didn't stop him from running. After a while he finally arrived at the Arena. He went inside going to Hisoka's room. People were looking at him wierdly. He was wet from the rain, he was cold and terrified. Illumi knocked at the door while panting since he was worn out from all the running. 

Hisoka was sitting on his bed playing with cards as he heard the knocking. 'Who the hell is disturbing me?' he thought annoyed as he went to the door. As he opened as saw Illumi his jaw dropped. The poor boy was shaking and had tears in his eyes. At this point he didn't even know himself if he was shaking because he was terrified or cold or both.

I: H-Hisoka... 

H: Oh God, come inside, what happened to you?

His face was wearing a worried expression as he pulled Illumi into a tight hug. Little did he care that his clothes were gonna get we too. Illumi burried his face in Hisoka's chest as he trembled in fear and started crying. The red hair held him tightly as he gently stroked his hair.

H: It's okay, Illumi, I'm here. You're safe, it's okay now. 

I: D-Dad... h-he's dead... s-someone k-killed him... Hisoka i'm s-scared...

H: Wait someone managed to kill Silva Zoldyck? I didn't even know that was possible. This person must be very dangerous... You're staying here, it's too dangerous to go home. I'll make sure you are safe, I won't let anyone hurt you.

Illumi nodded slightly as he was starting to calm down a little as Hisoka held him close to him. He was so warm and for some reason his hug felt so warm and calming.

H: You should go and take a shower, I'll give you some clothes since your are drenched from the rain. 

I: Thank you, Hisoka...

Illumi got out of his hug as he wiped his nose and eyes and headed to the bathroom to take a warm shower so he won't catch a cold. He took off his clothes as he stepped into the shower feeling the hot water hit his skin. He took a quick shower then dried himself up with the towel that he got from Hisoka. The red haired boy knocked at the door.

H: Are you done? Can i come in to give you the clothes?

Illumi wrapped himself with the towel and then let Hisoka come in. He handed Illumi a black sweater and grey sweatpants then quickly got out of the bathroom closing the door behind him.

'He's so pretty, what the fuck-... and his long hair makes him look kinda hot wen it's wet. HE'S SO PRETTY I CAN'T'

Hisoka sat on the couch as he blushed to his own thoughts. His heart was pumping in his chest louder than a nuclear explosion. He slapped himself slightly as he told himself to stop thinking about bullshit. After all, Illumi needed comfort right now. He was clearly traumatized by the events from earlier.

Illumi came out of the bathroom wearing the clothes that Hisoka gave him, they were pretty large since he was significantly smaller than the red hair. He slightly choked on air an blushed a little when he saw Illumi, he thought he looked cute in his clothes. Illumi noticed Hisoka's reaction as he also slightly blushed.

I: Uhhhh...Hisoka, can you help me blow-dry my hair please?

H: Oh umm sure, why not.

Hisoka grabbed the hairdryer as Illumi sat in front of him, his back facing him. Hisoka ran his hands gently through the brunette's hair as he made sure to dry it well. It took a while for it to completely dry since his hair was really long, but Hisoka was patient. He turned off the hairdryer and ruffled Illumi's hair.

H: Can i braid your hair?

Hisoka asked the question as he felt kind of nervous. Illumi blushed at the question, he never had anyone braid his hair before but he ended up agreeing. He stood still as Hisoka's hands were gently playing with his hair. He ended up actually surprised because he found it relaxing when the other was braiding his hair. Hisoka tied his hair after finishing it.

H: It looks pretty on you

He didn't realize what he said at first, only came back to reality after a few seconds.

H: U-ummm.. i-i mean..

I: O-oh thanks-

Illumi blushed at Hisoka's remark. He felt a strange thing in his stomach 'What the fell is this feeling? Is this what they call being nervous?'
