so, despite the usual push from the family for more future little assassins, Illumi isn't really that thrilled by the ideahe seems like the type of person whose eyes and actions don't really stray when he's outside, especially on a mission or errand, whether personal or professionalthat being said, the most likely way you're going to meet Illumi is through others, whether that someone is Hisoka or his own family (but he doesn't really trust Hisoka's judgment when it comes to introducing someone to him, especially with the intent of getting together)so, the family is the only viable option of meetingZeno is the one who comes up with a new option after several failed ones brought up by Silva and Kikyoyou, the granddaughter of an old friend and former partner of his, who used to be in charge of gathering information on the targets (not really a partner per se, but they participated in several missions together and became friends over the years)smart, cute, close in age to Illumi and seemingly a lot more... empathetic and emotional-looking than our dear pincushion boy (who isn't, though?)Illumi is told about this and despite being asked for his opinion, it's already decided nonethelessunlike all the other candidates who were all asked - more like forced - into meeting formally and at the Zoldyck estate, you insist on meeting in a more casual place and fashionIllumi, along with Kikyo, remain a bit shocked - Kikyo more than him because the audacity, but also the courage~Silva doesn't really care as long as they meet and Zeno laughs because he was expecting this from all the stories about you and your stubbornness and actions throughout the years that he heard from your grandfatherand it is settled: meeting in a quaint, little cat café in the town nearby, a little bit before lunch, no one else from your families except the two of you - coming with the promise that if you saw/sensed anyone keeping an eye on you two, you'd leave immediately and refuse any sort of contact from the family (again, shock because not many get to demand anything from the Zoldycks, but it seems that they already have a good feeling about you)Illumi dresses up in some casual clothes (still with the flame pattern 🙄) and heads out, getting a pat on the back from Zeno and a good luckwhen he enters the establishment and looks around, he sees you, next to a bookcase, with a very big and fluffy peach-coloured cat in your lap, both relaxed and watching the others around youyour eyes lock with Illumi's when you sense his aura and you smile, beckoning him closer - cue Illumi raising an eyebrow because you're not getting up to greet him and that's rude, but he understands when you explain that you had to coax that cat with food and headpats for like 5 minutes until it stayed in your lapso, he sits down next to you, petting the cat in your lap when its large, round, green eyes stare at him and next thing you know, you've got almost half of the other cats in the café flocking to Illumi, sitting on his lap and around him and purring loudlythe other customers can only stare, too afraid of his expressionless face to complain and when they see that the cats aren't leaving him and returning to them, they're slowly trickling out of the café until it's only the two of you (one of the staff members, who was apparently pushed by the other to come and talk to you, is quickly told, by you, that you'll pay more by the end of the day to cover whatever losses they might acquire from the lack of clients, which makes them leave you two hurriedly)you can only laugh when he stares at the cats and the empty room, then at you, almost clueless as to why you're laughingbut you start talking and discover that you really like spending time with himyou talk about your families, your dreams, because he says that he doesn't have any (liar), friends (again, liar) etc.you really like that he cares about his family, even if it's a bit twisted (good intentions, bad plan, especially when it comes to Killua)since he was forced by his family to respect the tradition and become an assassin, he's surprised when he finds out that despite the possibility of following the family tradition, you're also allowed to make your own decisions, as long as you talk about them with your familysomething that amuses you a lot is when Illumi receives a message from someone called Pain-in-the-Ass Clown, saying How's your date going, Illumi-chan? ⭐ ￣ ∀ ￣ 💧and he explains that it's someone really annoying who always bothers himSo, not your friend?Never.anyway, that was one of the first of many dates, with Illumi almost always letting you choose, mostly because you knew he'd choose some really fancy place and you wanted to have fun with him and get to know him naturallydespite his lack of expressions, he is having fun and likes that you're happy (appreciates the fact that you are so... lively, you're like complete opposites and apparently fit like two puzzle pieces)Zeno is the one who pretty much declares that you're the OTPone of your dates definitely consisted in the two of you going on a mission together, just to see how you'd get along in a professional situation100/10, no dilly-dally, professional from the beginning to the end of the mission, but you laughed and teased Illumi about how serious he was - as if it was just another normal day of meeting up after work... not after killing someonethe marriage proposal is more and more prominent in Illumi's head and the rest of the Zoldycks and he's wracking his brain trying to think of how to ask youthe two of you have bought an apartment and moved in to get used to living together and it's going pretty well (definitely took a bit of convincing to get Illumi to agree, but he feels so human and happy with you that he just can't say no and even his mother likes you, somewhat)some nights are spent inside, watching movies, playing board games (he beats you here), video games (Illumi sucks at those) or cooking (he's mostly watching and trying to remember everything, but man, too much work, he's used to his butlers), while others involve you two going to bookstores, cafes, the zoo, even concerts/festivalsso, he decides on something that he read about on the holy Internet: Illumi had gone out that day and told you he'd come by later, but he actually bought you a puppy, who, as soon as it was put down, ran into the house when you squealed and picked it up to nuzzle it while it licked your face and wagged its tail; your fingers felt something on its collar and when you saw a ring, you froze, looking at Illumi without saying a wordhe slowly approached you, face as expressionless as always (but he was so, SO nervous) and took the ring off the collar, getting on one knee and saying that you've made him feel happier and more human during those few months with you than he's ever felt in all those years and he hopes that you'll be willing to share your life with him and allow him to make sure you'll always feel happy and lovedcue the tears because Illumi's never said so many heartfelt words in one day and you'd be a monster to say no and extinguish that little sparkle of happiness in his eyesso you put your puppy down and hug him tightly, kissing his face until he actually cracks a smile when the puppy whines because it wants your attention toothe wedding? Beautiful.you? Gorgeous.Illumi? He's never been happier in his entire lifeHisoka cries at the wedding and is chosen as his best-man, along with Illumi's brothers (even Killua accepted, especially after noticing the positive change you brought in the family and Illumi)Alluka is your maid of honour along with Kalluto, because those two are attracted to you like moths to a flamethe reception is memorable, with various friends and family members congratulating you two and wishing you a long and happy marriagethings settle down a bit for a few weeks afterwards, especially after the honeymoon (which was spent somewhere where you could both enjoy some private time away from everyone as a newlywed couple)and the biggest surprise was finding out that you're pregnant (lucky~, that's what Hisoka said when you texted him because yeah, you remained friends, somehow)Illumi actually hugged you when you told him and kissed you because he was ecstaticyou definitely sat him down and told him that you need to talk with his family so they don't get any ideas about torturing your child or children since you want them to have a normal, happy childhoodwhile a bit against it because that's how he and all his siblings were raised, he definitely understands that it's not only his decision to make and that he actually doesn't really want anyone to go through what they did (especially after seeing that yes, even without training like his you can still be powerful and smart and somehow, his)so, he agrees and tells the rest of the family (Zeno knew what your thoughts would be and never said anything, while Kikyo would probably be on the verge of having a stroke and Silva wouldn't really care because they have Killua)they can't do much in terms of making you accept, especially because you don't live at the estate and Illumi is loyal to his family, but now he's got his own and he chooses you and your baby in the enddespite a few arguments with the Zoldycks, *cough* Kikyo *cough*, you still have the support of pretty much everyone else in the family and your own, so you actually can support yourselves just fineIllumi insists on going shopping for baby clothes with you and is already looking at the variety of toys (he's not gonna admit that he can't wait to play with them when he's spending time with his child because he wasn't really allowed to have many toys or play with them so they wouldn't make him stray from his path as an assassin)likes talking to the baby bump and even sings to it (he's got a beautiful singing voice and the baby always kicks when he sings something they like, which Illumi always take into account)protective as hell whenever you're out and about together and pretty much never lets you leave alone until you have a small argument that you can take care of yourself, after which he lets you be, but still insists on being called once an hour just to make sure and to have his heart put at easedoesn't even want to think about your weird craving because eww, some of them are gross (you know it, he knows it, the baby doesn't care and when you're hungry, neither do you)will be there when you're giving birth because he just wants to meet the baby faster and when he does, he smiles because there they are, his little bundle of joyjust stands and is fascinated by how small the baby is and how cute and squishy they lookit's a girl, btwalmost always tells you to go to sleep when the baby wakes up in the middle of the night, especially because he can't really sleep and he's too happy and excited, plus he knows how tired you arethe baby's first words are definitely dada and her little hands were just desperately reaching out to him (you practised with her whenever you could because you know how enamoured he is with his little girl)Illumi actually breathed in deeply so he wouldn't feel like crying anymore and just hugged you both while your daughter was patting his cheekshe inherits his long, black hair and they both spend the most amount of time in the bathroom taking care of it and brushing ityou're the only one allowed to touch and braid their hairshe definitely likes all her uncles and aunts because they're all so nice and doting and funny (Hisoka and Killua), while great-grandpa Zeno spoils her rottenyes, Silva and Kikyo love her a lot as well, but inside they still want her to follow into their footstepsyou laugh at Illumi's surprised face when your daughter asks you two for a brother or sisteroh boy... he's gonna die from the cuteness and joy all these babies of yours are going to bring him
