And For You, I'd Kill||Gonkillu||Serial Killer AU

1. Happy Birthday To You~

And yet another story posted :| Please help. Okay, I command you to R E A D.

Killua's POV~

"So." Retz folded her arms, hip jutted out, eyes squinted. The next words to leave her mouth is the question I've left unanswered for years. I really, really don't want to answer that. "Are you finally ready to go paintballing again?"

"Mmmhhhh, let's just stay home. Or!" I exclaimed, eager to offer something. Anything, as long as it wasn't paintballing. Last time I gave in to the activity, I ended up with six bruises and a knot on the side of my forehead, the size of a grapefruit. Well, more like a tangerine. "We can host another party."

"Nope! It's your birthday, Killua!" She nagged, extending the last syllable of my name. "We're going paintballing, and we're going to have fun. If it makes you feel better, we can invite your sister."

I sighed in defeat and despair. "No, Alluka's busy tonight. But, since I have no other choice, I'll fold and go paintballing with you." I grimaced. I really didn't want to be around so many people with paint-filled weapons. Guns, grenades, smoke bombs. Then there's always that one person who fucks it up and shoots a head shot, despite the rules prohibiting it. "But only this once!" I quickly added to clear things up.

"Fine by me." She smiled a bit too cheerily. Friends shouldn't be so happy at each others' absolute suffering. "Alright. I know how long it takes you to get ready, so be quick. We leave at five thirty."

"Mkay.." I groaned in response as we waved and parted ways, heading back to our houses.

Arriving home, I was greeted by my younger brother and sister, Kalluto and Alluka. They had mischievous grins plastered on their faces. They probably had something to do with the whole paintball evening I'm being forced into.

"Hey, Killuaaaaa." They smirked, teasing in unison. "Going paintballing, I'd assume?" Alluka snickered.

"Unfortunately." I groaned, pinching the bridge of my nose. "You two are rather chipper." I glared playfully.

"Well, how could we not be? Our big brother is finally acting his age and participating in an ordinary paintball match." Kalluto snickered, hands on his hips.

"Whatever." I grumbled, folding my arms and ascending the stairs. "I'm gonna get ready. And, Kalluto, you have plans too?"

"Yep, Alluka and I, together." He smiled, thumb extended, giving me a thumbs-up.

I nodded and went to my room to change into my prize-winning outfit of the night. Something that says fits the paintball theme. Since most there would be wearing white, Retz included, I decided to stick to the same. I wouldn't want to be the only one dressed in black. Awkward. I sifted through my drawers for an outfit until I found one and tossed it onto my bed.

I stripped down to nothing and hopped into the scalding hot shower, the pressure and heat of the water coming from the nozzle leaving pinkish-red marks all over my pale body. I refrained from washing my hair, though I wanted to, because of how long it took to dry the fluffy, snow-white masterpiece that is my own.

After washing myself, I hopped out of the shower, dried off and moisturized before finally getting ready. I threw on a tight fitted, black undershirt underneath my long sleeved, white top, cropped at the ends and paired it with white ripped jeans and a long, black belt that fell, almost, to my knees. I pulled on long, white socks and my favorite pair of purple converse. I steadied my hand as I worked on my eyeliner. I moisturized, and scented, my lips with my favorite strawberry chap stick and examined myself in the mirror. I quickly applied lotion to my hands to keep them moisturized, as it would be closer to fifty degrees tonight. I picked up my phone to check the time just after. 5:29PM. Just as I was aware of the time, I heard the sudden honking of a horn, then muffled shouts from an eager, and impatient, ash-blonde girl waiting for her best friend. Not for much longer if I didn't hurry up.
