hisoka and illumi - Dinner And A Show

#2

illumi continued to stare blankly at hisoka's direction when a short purple haired waitress in a simple suit approached them - "we'll have a bottle of your best" hisoka turned to her with the most charming smile, she nodded bashfully and reyurned to the bar - "hisoka im not planning to stay here much longer" illumi muttered while playing with a long dark strand of hair. "come on illu, my treat" he replied playfully while releaving a set of cards that seemed to magically appear between his long fingers. Hisoka knew giving illumi cutesier names would make the zoldyck uncomfortable, but he felt like stretching the limits (which was what he usually felt like). Nevertheless, it seemed as if illumi either was not listening or chose to ignore hisoka's small games.

After the bottle arrived, hisoka started pouring the amber like liquid into their glasses "it seems I am in need of your help tonight" he said calmly while slightly elevating his eyes from the glass to look onto illumi's face. "well as long as I'm still here" illumi replied between taking small sips. Hisoka refused to elaborate on what exactly he needed illumi to do before they would finish drinking, and so after about a minute or so illumi started talking about killua and the rest of his family. Hisoka knew this would be the best topic to bring some raw emotion to the surface of illumi's aura, and he also didn't really mind listening to his companion's monotonic yet somehow relaxing voice.

By the time the bar was closing, the two men seemed to have loosen their guard... "my room is pretty big illu, if you prefer a bed to a hole in the ground" hisoka said jokingly while they were getting out of the bar "hmm, it is rather late" illumi replied, unaware of the joke "ok".

They continued walking in silent to the elevator leading to hisoka's room on the 10th floor, only to the sound of hisoka's high heels clacking against the marble floors.
