3rd person p.o.v

Gon looked at the just forming rain and pouted. He never liked rain. He really liked being outside. But Aunt Mito would never let him in the rain, especially when it was heavy, because she was worried he would catch a cold. And when there was thunder or lightning, going outside was an absolute no-no. Not like he was ever going to go outside during lightning, he was terrified of it. When he was a kid, he would hide under the covers whenever there was lightning outside. And now, with hope that this fear would subside, it just got worse. He didn't want to tell Killua either, only Aunt Mito knew. Biting his lip nervously and looking out the window he thought, "Please let there be no lightning."

"Gon?? Hello?"

"Huh?" Gon's thoughts broke with the sound of Killua's voice.

"I called you like three times?" 

"Oh sorry...."

"Why are you so out of it?" Killua gently asked.

"I-...I just don't like rain."

"That's it?" Killua laughed a little, "Well, it'll be over soon."

"Yea I know..." Gon looked down.

"Come on, you wanna watch a movie or something?"

"Okay."

"Ok you can go settle down in our room and I'll come up in a sec."

"Okay."

Gon went upstairs and as soon as he did Killua went into the kitchen to ask Aunt Mito something, who was cleaning the kitchen.

"Hey Aunt Mito?

"Killua? What's wrong?"

"Oh, I was just wondering...Gon seems out of it today. He said it's cuz he doesn't like rain, but he seems upset, even nervous."

"Oh well...hmm...its probably because he's worried about the lightning." 

"Why would he be worried about lightning?"

"He has a fear of it. Ever since he was small, every time there was lightning he would go under the covers and stay next to me until it was over. Sometimes he would even cry. He's always so scared when it's outside but never admits it."

"Oh...I-...never knew. I wonder why he didn't tell me?" Killua wondered out loud.

"He's always been very private about this. When he first started showing signs, he always made up excuses. I mean, I always knew even with the excuses, but I wanted him to be able to tell me himself. You know?"

"Yea I get it...well I'll go talk to him."

"Ok. If you guys need anything just let me know."

"Ok, thanks Aunt Mito."

Aunt Mito smiled back in return and continued cleaning the kitchen. Killua went upstairs and entered the room. 

"I also want him to tell me myself, so I'll drop little hints or something." Killua thought. 

(a/n Killua cannot do little hints, so it'll be more like "tell me wtf is going on.")

"Hey Gon."

"Oh hi. I picked out something."

"Good. I have a question though. Its about the rain."

Gon looked nervous and fidgeted with his fingers.

"O-ok."

"Is that the only thing you're upset about?"

"What? Y-yes... it is." Gon looked down. 

"Are you positive? You don't want to lie to me do you? Is it really just the rain Gon?"

Suddenly for the first time lightning flashed across the sky. Gon jumped a little and clenched his hands.

"Gon?" Killua said, suddenly worried, feeling a little bad for the pressing questions.

"I-...I'm s-scared of l-lightning. I-...I've always been, I just didn't want to t-tell you cause I didn't know how you would react and I've never told anybody a-about this except for Mito..." Gon said looking down but Killua could still see tears streaming down his face. 

Killua moved a little closer to Gon, putting his soft, a little cold hands on his face and lifted it up, wiping the tears off is cheeks with his thumbs, smiling. He leaned in and kissed him on the lips and then leaned away, pulling him into his embrace and they both fell into the silky covers.

"I'm sorry," he whispered into his ear, "I'm sorry for asking a bunch of questions. I would never judge you for being scared of lightning, you should have told me."

"I...I tried but," another strike of lightning flashed through the dark sky and he hugged Killua tightly sniffling.

"Shhh-shh," Killua said and traced his finger around Gon facial features. First on the forehead, making his way to the tip of his nose, and then ending on his soft lips. He did this for about 5 minutes and then looked down. Gon was asleep in his arms, breathing softly. He looked like an angel even with the tear stained cheeks.

"I love you. I always will, even if you're scared of every single thing in the world I'll still be there to protect you. I swear that no matter what, even if I go away, I'll still be with you. You dont even have to feel like you're alone. Cause you're not...you never were. I was alone once. But you were always surrounded with people who love you, unlike me. So now you get one more person who loves you."

Killua looked at the window in a melancholy way, admiring the pretty scene of lightning clashing against the almost pitch black sky. Unlike Gon, Killua loved lightning, falling asleep to thunderstorms as a child was a vivid memory he kept. The way lightning struck and illuminated everything and suddenly you could see the clouds, houses and trees. And then it went away, among everything dark again, with only the sound of the pattering rain. It was the most beautiful form of nature to Killua. In a way, Gon was like lightning. Whenever he struck he illuminated everything, making it bright and clear. And whenever he disappeared again, it was pitch black, with only the sound of pattering rain and the darkness of this world. 

"Why does he hate something so much like him?"
