Bubble gum <3 (a lesbian hisoillu love story)

•2 dinner

I sat under my blankets as the moonlight creeped into my apartment. I was still pretty bummed about being turned down by Illumi but honestly I wasn't surprised and she seemed very serious about having something to think about.
I decided that it would be good to get some sleep. Especially since I did have a fight tomorrow. As my eyes slowly shut my phone buzzed and I quickly snatched it to see a text from Illumi. "Hey how about we go to dinner tomorrow? I have something to discuss with you." Ah I knew she would come to her senses and give in.
I had pure excitement running through me with the thought of going out to dinner with Illumi. It made my body feel warm and tingly. I wonder what she has to discuss with me~ I sat my phone back down and I flopped back into bed. I honest smile creeping across my face. Before I knew it I had passed out. I dreamed of Illumi and how it would feel to have her in my arms at that very moment.
I normally woke up really early in the morning. About 6:30 but today I woke up at 2 p.m I wasn't used to this strange time schedule change but I went on with my normal routine as usual. I grabbed my favorite outfit and my phone that was dressed in the simple pastel pink phone case. Once I had collected all the items I needed I walked into my bathroom and starting running a shower. Whilst I was waiting for the water to run hot I texted illumi to confirm a time with her.
(💕)- hey darling! We are still going tonight correct?

(🐈‍⬛)-yep. Will 7 p.m work for you?

(💕)-yep. That should work perfectly fine with me. I do have a match at 5 so if you'd like to come. I <3 u

(🐈‍⬛)- I think on it. I <3 u too Hisoka.

Illumi's reply surprised Hisoka. Was Illumi breaking out of that hard shell that her family put her in? I hope so. I think this dinner would be a good opportunity to let Illumi know about me and who I truly am. It definitely wasn't something I was open about but I trust Illumi.
I had completely forgotten that I had started the shower and my bathroom was now blanketed in a thick heat of fog. I hurried into the shower and I washed my hair with the same kids shampoo and conditioner that I have been using for almost my whole life. After I was done I stepped out and I dryed off and I put on my bra and panties and then I slipped into my outfit and waited until 4:30 when I would walk down and prepare to fight.
I simply had sat on my phone for about and hour now reading the clock to be 4:28 and I decided to walk down to my match and wait there and get in a little warm up training. As my heels clacked down the hall way I saw the familiar long hair of Illumi. She was at the front desk buying a ticket "Ah! Speak of the devil!" I heard the faint voice of the clerk and I saw Illumis hair whip over and she let a small smile out and I saw a bright pink creep across her face. I walked up and said something into her ear "glad to see you here tonight darling" the sound of her small laugh made my face turn pink aswell. After that encounter I walked passed her into the fighting arena and I wondered why Illumi's face turned so pink just at the sight of me. Illumi is straight. At least I think so.. Hm. Whatever she was probably just caught off guard and felt embarrassed for actually showing up. After all it was Illumi.
It was now 4:55 and this the time when they started bringing the fighters out. Before me stood a talk buff man. He made a few remarks about me being female. I easily beat his ass. "Strong for a girl aren't I?" I was extremely pissed off from his blatant sexism but I didn't continue speaking to his motionless body since it served no purpose. The fight was short and only took about 30 minutes.
I took a back cut out of the arena so I could avoid as many people as possible. Yes, I love interacting with people but I hate when I have fans from my opponents come up and bash me. So I simply got back into my apartment as soon as possible to freshen back up for dinner with Illumi.
I was still pretty nervous at the thought of telling Illumi about my sexual orientation but if she didn't accept me then it was pretty obvious that I shouldn't have her in my life. Still the thought of losing Illumi... it scared me.
My phone now read 6:43 p.m and I decided to go ahead and wait in town square for Illumi.
I walked down and sat down and shuffled my cards and to my surprise I felt the presence of someone standing behind me. I quickly pulled one of my cards to the persons neck. "Damn Hisoka am I really that scary" holy shit Illumi don't do that!!! She let out a small laugh and said "let's go okay?" Okay then. I started following her to the restaurant.
We arrived at the restaurant. My heart was now pounding outside of my chest knowing what I was about to confess to Illumi. The waiter lead us over to our table and me and her ordered simple dishes and we waited. So Illumi before I let you tell me what you have to say I have something to say really quickly. I have been hiding this for years but I feel like I can trust you so I'm going to tell you. Her deep black eyes met mine and I let out a small sigh. "Illumi. I'm gay." "Wait for real? You better not be joking." I'm not " holy shit. Um well, I came here to tell you that I'm gay too..."
