I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You (Killua x Reader)

Chapter 8- Hellos x and x Goodbyes

I stood with my receiver pressed up against my ear, my eyes wide with shock.

"W- what?" I stuttered, gulping.

"He was found dead inside the house." She replied. "He looks like he got stabbed, but they've had no luck finding the person who did it. They're assuming it was an assassin."

"An... Assassin." I said plainly, blinking once. Who would want to kill them? Surely assassins need reasons to kill.

"I have to go to the police now, but I thought you should know." I cancelled the call and others my phone in my pocket. I was wondering why they never came after me.

"Y/n?" I heard Gon behind me. He put his hand on my shoulder.

"Are you okay? You never finished your ice cream." I spun around and grinned at him, not wanting him to worry.

"Everything's fine!" I replied. And it was true; everything was. Apart from this assassin might come after me and my sister. I don't know why they'd be targeting us, but I'll find out soon enough. I grabbed his hand and pulled him back inside. "Let's go finish our ice cream."

Timeskip~

I lay in bed face up, staring at the ceiling. I was so confused. Why didn't this 'assassin' go after me first? Why my parents? It was hard to admit, but I was terrified. Suddenly, I heard a window being opened. I held my breath and hid under the covers, shaking. I was going to die, right here. I heard footsteps coming up to my bed, and then silence.

"It's just me, idiot." I lifted my head up, and saw the familiar white haired boy that always comforted me.

"You scared the life out of me!" I half yelled, grabbing him into a hug. "I thought I was going to die." He gave a half hearted laugh.

"Yeah, well maybe you are!" I backed away from him slowly, but he got there first. He started ticking me, and I squealed but he put his hand over my mouth.

"Killua..." I said through raspy breaths. "Stop..." He finally stopped and sat beside me, grinning sweetly.

"Morning, Y/n!"

"It's one in the morning." I whispered, giggling. "What are you doing here?"

"I was just passing by."

"Passing by at 1am?" I asked, raising my eyebrows at him. He chuckled quietly, which I secretly thought was really attractive.

"You'd be surprised, y/n." I blushed slightly, and then smiled at him. He suddenly started fiddling with his hands, and I saw a tint of pink rise up to his pale cheeks. Was he blushing? He isn't ceasing to surprise me today.

"You okay?" I asked, concerned.

"Listen, I..." He bit his lip. "I actually wanted to check if you were okay..." My eyes widened.

"Really?" I said, not able to contain my excitement, he looked at me and nodded. "How did you know?"

"Your sister told me." He replied. I nodded. I hope she didn't say anything else.

"I'm fine, really. I'm just scared that whoever killed my dad will come after me." It was then his turn to be shocked. He put his hands on my shoulders so I had no choice but to look him in the eye.

"No one will come after you, I can promise you that much." I looked into his royal blue orbs with my e/c ones, my cheeks flaming.

"T-thank you." I stuttered. He leaned in slightly so he was about three inches form my face.

"No one will touch you as long as I'm around." Inside, I was melting at his kind words. He leaned in even closer, and closer, and closer. His lips were just millimetres away from mine. Without warning he pulled backwards, shaking his head rapidly and his hair getting even messier.

"Sorry." He said simply, jumping up from where he was sitting. "This was a mistake." And with that he was gone. Just like that. Little did I know just how long it would be before I saw him again.

"Killua..." I whispered, sliding back down and my head hitting the soft pillow. "I think I'm in love with you."

Killua's POV:

Y/n... I think I'm in love with you. But we can never be together. Never.

AN:

Sorry about the super short chappie- I'm writing this in class so it has to be quick. The next chapter will be muuuuch longer than the others. So how long will it be before you see Killua again? Only time will tell :^)
