All it Takes is a Little Something

Chapter 12: Backed Into a Corner

Reader POV

I was the only one awake in the house. The moon shone on mine and Killua's faces. Alluka was all the way across the room in her bed, hugging a panda that was waiting for her when she went to bed. ...I had no idea what time it was. But, judging from my odd hunger that usually happens when I wake up at something-o'clock, it was pretty late.

I had been sleeping on my side. When I had suddenly woke up, I found that my h/c hair was a hot mess, and I didn't feel like moving an inch until like three minutes later.

Killua had suggested that I sleep in his bed with him. At first I was shocked. I love him, but I didn't think we were ready for sleeping in the same bed...! We had slept about six inches apart. I was surprised how huge this bed was. ...My hunger was staring to fully bother me. But I didn't want to wake Killua and Alluka.

I lifted my back from the bed. Maybe I could float out of here... No, it wasn't wishful thinking; I
I could actually float. It was a curse that was put on me, but I made into something I could use to my advantage.

I could feel my legs lift myself from the bed, and silently and softly move me to the bedroom door. Straightening my legs, I turned the knob and opened it just enough so that I could fit through.

My legs connected with the floor when I was far enough from the bedroom door. I walked to the kitchen cabinet and looked through it's contents. "Mm? A lot of food for only two people. Oh Killua..."

I smiled quietly. I then spotted a bag of pretzels. I grabbed it and then my feet lightly lifted my body about 30 cm off of the floor. I was much more wobbly when I was nervous of waking someone up. Afraid that I was about to fall, I sped up a little bit.

Once in the bedroom, my feet connected with the floor, and I quietly and quickly walked to my side of Killua's bed. I got in as quietly as I could. I put the bag of pretzels on the nightstand.

All of a sudden, I flinched when someone wrapped their arms around my waistline. "Ah-?!" I knew it was Killua. But still, what the freak?!

"Thought you could get back here without me knowing?" Killua sleepily moaned. He nuzzled into my neck. "Y-you were awake...?" I breathed.

"Of course." He held me closer from behind. My arms were free, but I didn't feel like actually doing anything. I enjoyed his presence. He just pressed me against his green wife-beater closer. "You smell so nice..." He murmured.

I felt warmer when he kissed my neck softly. "Also, don't take my pretzels. Love you."

"I can take your pretzels whenever I want." I turned around and looked at him. His small smile grew when he looked at my e/c eyes. I pecked his forehead softly. I felt strands of his silver hair on my lips.

"This is our second night together, right?" He remarked. Huh... I hadn't actually thought about it. This was our second night together. The first had been in my house. It was crazy how he remembered that.

Killua's hand stroked my back softly. "You didn't remember?" He asked. "No..." I replied softly. I was starting to get sleepy; my eyelids were flickering.

"Sleepy, love?" His voice made me sleepier. He kissed the crown of my head. "Mmhmm..." I closed my eyes, and I didn't feel like closing them again.

"Did you enjoy your weekend, l/n-san?" This time, Riki and like three of her friends were messing with me. I was at my desk, trying to find a book to read. Maybe I would read "And Then There Were None" this time... I paid no attention to the girls before me.
