Cards and Pins (Hisoka x Illumi) Lemon

Chapter 1

Hisoka waltzed in the apartment door, water dripping down from his soaked loose-fit pants to the cool hardwood floor. His shirtless chest heaved as it gleamed in the dim yellow light radiating from the lantern attached to the ceiling. His head lolled down as he caught his breath when a voice interrupted him.

"Hisoka. We need to talk right now." Spoke a monotone voice.

"Illumi, darling, that mission was exhausting can we speak another time? Your master needs some rest~" cooed Hisoka.

Illumi's face turned red with embarrassment as he continued to attempt to seem professional. 

"No. Hisoka we need to talk, you came late again to the mission and almost ruined everything." Said Illumi with a stern voice. 

"If having you on missions is more problematic then it is beneficial, I will have no choice but to kill you."

 Hisoka reacted with a mock hurt expression and a fake scoff as he looked him dead in his luminous black eyes and said

"Illumi, love, you don't have the guts to kill me~"

                                 ...

As nighttime approached, Illumi was wide awake in bed, observing Hisoka in his sleep. The rise and fall of his chiseled chest, his soft red hair spread over his closed eyes, and his slow steadied breath.

Especially that, Illumi loved listening to the slow pattern of Hisoka breathing as he slept.

His breathing reminds Illumi of a heartbeat, but not just any heartbeat, his target's heartbeats right before they die. 

Their hearts slow down a few seconds before their death, as if their body has a timer and it had gone off. Eradicating them from this earth.

This phenomenon intrigued Illumi, it made him ask, 'when would my timer go off?'.

Whenever I want, Illumi decided. 

Illumi's eyes wandered towards Hisoka's face. Observing his sharp jawline, pale skin and feminine features.

Hisoka looked like an angel when he slept, but he was far from it.  

Illumi's eyes began to flutter as he fell asleep to the rhythm of Hisoka's heartbeat, relaxing onto Hisoka's warm body.

                                ...    
                         

Hisoka awoke with a sleeping Illumi curled under his arms, his silky black hair intertwined between Hisoka's fingers.

Hisoka lay there for a few minutes, just relishing in his partners presence before carefully getting out of bed. 

He lightly tucked Illumi back into the bed before going off to grab a pair of sweatpants to wear and a pink apron that has the words "Kiss the cook." in white.

Hisoka wrapped the apron over his naked chest and made his way to the kitchen, feeling the cold wood floor on his bare feet.

 The kitchen was a decent size, it had polished white marble counters that had rounded corners at the ends and light colored oak upper cabinets with white handles and accents around the boarders.

 In the middle of the kitchen was a marble island, matching the glossy white marble on the counters, a clear vase filled with roses was placed in middle of it.

Around the kitchen island were four oak chairs with red cushion seats and white accents shaped like flowers engraved throughout the chair's legs.

The opposite side of where Hisoka had entered was where a window was placed, it took up a majority of the wall and was covered by silky rose-red curtains.

The fridge was placed on wall left of the window's wall, a few magnets were scattered on the surface of the right fridge's door.

The stove was placed to the right of the fridge as well as the oven underneath it.

Hisoka wandered over to where the stove was placed, standing in front of it with one hand on his hip and the other tapping on his lip as he thought about what to make for breakfast.

"Poor Illu stayed up all night again didn't he..." murmured Hisoka with a sigh.
                                   
                                  
                                  ...

Illumi was woken up to what he thought was the smell of fresh crepes. He gently rubbed his eyes as he looked over to see Hisoka walking back the bedroom with a "Kiss the Cook" apron. 

"I was just about to wake you up~" spoke Hisoka in a velvety voice as he extended one arm out to Illumi. 

Illumi, still half asleep,  grabbed his hand and stumbled after Hisoka to the kitchen.

There were two plates on the kitchen island placed on opposite sides of each other, both plates filled with chocolate and strawberry crepes. A glass of water sat next to each plate, with a small lemon wedge stuck on the rim of the cup.

As they both sat down, Illumi spoke in a quiet voice, "I'm going out for a mission later today, and no, you cannot come." 

"Aw, but Lulu, you know you want me there there~" said Hisoka in a fake pout expression, brushing his soft red hair out of his face. 

"No Hisoka, we talked about this, if you're going to be late to missions all the time then there is no benefit for you to come along." Illumi paused, "And don't call me Lulu."  

Hisoka just hums in response, taking a bite out of a chocolate crepe, "Whatever you say, darling~" he said, with a slight smirk spread across his face.
