This isn't what Killua is used to.

He isn't sure how to feel. There's a furrow to his brow as he walks down the steps, playing with the edges of his pink pleated skirt. He taps his foot on the last stair anxiously.

Shouldn't they be racing out the door already...?

Is Gon... mad at him...?

"Come on, Killua!"

He doesn't know how to approach it, chewing on his lower lip, turning the pale pink of it red.

He takes the final step down gracefully, swallowing a lump in his throat.

Gon opens the door for him, and Killua steps outside, inhaling the fresh breeze of the island. Gon closes the door, humming a tune as he hops down the steps.

Killua has to breach it now. If he doesn't... he curls his fingers up into his turtleneck, tugging at the fabric and opening his mouth.

"Aren't we going to race...?"

Gon turns to him cocking his head, smiling.

"Nope! Not today."

Why not...?

Killua can feel the frustration and anxiety growing as he purses his lips together, taking a step forward.

Gon holds out his hand, and Killua stares dumbfounded.

Gon jerks his head toward the dirt path, gesturing at Killua to take his hand, and Killua reaches out, pausing, gently placing his hand in Gon's palm.

Gon's hand is warm; he can feel the rough calluses against Gon's palm as Gon's fingers gently but firmly wrap around his hand, and Killua takes the rest of the steps down, his face flushed and heart pounding.

Gon lets go of his hand once he's on solid ground, and Killua is left staring at his own hand, pale scars shone in the bright sunlight as he drops it to his side, fingertips brushing against the edge of his skirt.

Maybe Gon is sick... or perhaps Killua is...

He's sure it's nothing.

It's not nothing.

What's with Gon today...?

He's not acting normal... Gon's always nice, but...

"Here!"

Gon hands him a stick with little chocolate bunnies and stars from the stand, and Killua takes it gingerly. He wants to squeal because of chocolate, but why is Gon buying him all this stuff... and...

He takes a bite of one of the chocolate marshmallows but can't enjoy its sweet taste.

"Gon."

"Hmm?"

Gon turns to look at him, unknowingly, with that dumb grin on his face.

"W-what's with you today...? Are you... mad at me...?"

He swallows the last of the marshmallow, but it just leaves a bad taste in his mouth as he scrunches his fingers up in his skirt, staring at the edge of the skewer and the cute chocolate bunny.

Tears prick his eyes, and he grips tighter until his knuckles turn pure white.

No one's ever this nice to him. Not without reason...

But the thought of Gon being mad at him...

It hurts a lot more than any of his family being mad...

His chest aches so much...
