All it Takes is a Little Something

Chapter 6: I Need You

Reader POV

I sat on my couch with my knees up to my chest, my arms squeezing my knees. When I had got home, I had just flung my things and my shoes to the side and sat here for about 45 minutes.

Killua had kissed me. Kissed. ME. I wonder why I didn't do anything about it.

And how Alluka didn't see anything.

And mostly, how KIllua had said that he had loved me. Or thought he loved me. If I hadn't known any better, I would have cried my heart out. Because, if a guy says he thought he had loved you, and then kissed you, why would you cry?

Perhaps he had kissed me because he wanted to make sure he had loved me. Who knows...? Then again, I had kissed back. But what does that have to do with the situation? Would that make any sense?

Anyhow, I had thought that sitting here like this on such a beautiful day, the sky a milky dawn, with bits of orange sprinkled everywhere, the leaves and shivering in delight at being touched by the sweet smelling wind, would be ridiculous.

But I had believed sitting here was the only way to escape my thoughts. Going outside would only cause me to see Killua.

I had slept in this position, I think, and woke up sprawled on my couch, and had gotten in this position again.

I wonder, what is Killua thinking about our kiss? Was he able to get enough sleep? Did Alluka interrogate him about it? Does he wake up this early?

Probably not.

Heh, I must sound like a girl who's head over heels for the guy she met two weeks ago.

But, through these hours and hours of thought, I had begun to believe that... I loved Killua, and why I loved him. Why wouldn't I? I think I had loved him from the start. But what did he see in me? He called me a beauty and a badass, and he told me he'd break through the mirrors of my past.

Even though my whole family's dead, he doesn't have to do that for me...

Killua...

Very soon, I finally put my feet on the floor, breaking my position. It wasn't comfortable anyway...

I stood up and stretched my whole body. All my bones cracked nicely.

The noon felt short. All I had done was just walk around my block aimlessly and call my cousin Rose.

She still called me Vera. But to this day, I resented her knowing my name but still calling me Vera, but this day made me glad to hear that name.

"If he kissed you, Vera, it must mean love...!" Rose gasped.

"A kiss might not mean love, Rose. It might be accidentally..." I protested quietly.

"He kissed you intentionally, correct?" Rose questioned.

"Rose, why do you call me Vera?" I asked for the millionth time.

She came up with a different reason every time. "Because, I don't know what y/n means."

"Rose, y/n means (meaning of name)." I remarked.

"Spare me of your prepubescent gibberish!" She yelled.

She says the dumbest things sometimes...

I almost tripped over a crack. My poor (Brand of shoes) might not be able to take it.

I was at the point of looking at my house from where I was. There were almost no people nearby, except for....

Oh, god dammit.

"H-hey, y/n..." Killua was the one who had almost crashed into me.

For a second, I was speechless. "Killua, hi." I said.

We just stared at each other, like last night. Until I suggested, "Come to my place, let's talk there."

"Okay. Sure." He responded softly. That soft voice made my skin tingle.

I threw off my shoes and dropped myself on the couch like a puppet whose strings were cut. Killua just sat down (VERY CLOSE TO ME).

We both sat down silently for a while.

"I've missed you." He suddenly remarked sincerely.

Wait- WUT?!

"Missed me?" I gasped at him. He missed me? He really did love me?

"Yeah." He closed his eyes and smiled. "It's time I've spoke my mind about how I love you."

(Play video here ONLY!)

I felt my cheeks heat up significantly when he turned to me and grabbed my wrists.

"Y/n... I don't think I love you. I do love you. For the probable seven hours we were apart, I realized that. I need you; you and Alluka and Gon are the only things keeping me going. You're beautiful, so very beautiful, and if other people can't see that, they can go straight down to hell. And if anyone tries to help those mirror box you in, I'll just keep breaking them, over and over again. You're too precious to let go of, and I'm not about to let that happen any time soon."

Tears welled up in my eyes and a few small whimpers slipped out of me as I heard this, and saw his eyes flash with one emotion. Love.

The tears finally dripped down, dripping on his and my hands softly like drizzle from the rain.

Then, I felt it. The love that I had been momentarily keeping in, poured out of me fiercely. Only the words, "I love Killua!" echoed inside my head. Desire to hug and kiss the one that I love kept pushing me, over and over again.

And, I did it. I hugged him. I hugged the one that I loved with all my strength. And he wrapped his arms around me as tightly as I did.

I buried my face into his chest, and he buried his nose into my h/c hair.

We stayed like that for a long while.

"Killua- I can't... breathe...!" I managed to gasp.

"Ah! sorry, sorry." Killua reluctantly let go of me.

At that very point, I didn't want to hug him anymore. I wanted to kiss him..! But, apparently, he had the same idea as I did. He softly pressed his lips to mine. I immediately kissed back. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and his right hand was on the back of my neck, and his other around my waist.

The next day, was long, and thank god, because time usually flies like so fast when you spend time with your boyfriend.

By which I mean Killua. In this case.

After school, I think I got like 12 texts from him, telling me to meet him in our usual cafe.

"Y/n, you and big brother are dating?!" Alluka yelled a bit too loud. "Yes." I sweat-dropped.

She slowly looked down at her pink lemonade, as if contemplating at what I had just said. Then she clenched her fists and yelled again, but this time at Killua. "Dammit, big brother, you never tell me anything!"

Killua sweat-dropped, and remarked, "Alluka, what have I told you about cursing?"

I watched them argue silently while sipping my (favorite drink).

I was so happy... To have people like these two.

I hope they never slip from my fingers...
