Chapter Twenty Eight

Gon lied on his stomach in his bed while reading a book that detailed on how to work on learning the Japanese language. His brain was basically smooth and smoke was streaming out of his ears.

Killua sat on his bed and just watched Gon with an amused expression, popping chocolate into his mouth consistently.

The thing was, the amused expression was almost a full facade.

Inside...

...Killua was having a full on proper gay crisis.

The way that Gon was looking at him earlier was absolutely terrifying. It was... feral looking.

What was he supposed to feel about it?

And the way he worded himself was so broad that it could be taken in many, many different ways..

Killua was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't even realize he had stopped eating and was holding his last chocolate on his hands.

It was few seconds before Gon turned around and looked at him before realizing Killua wasn't laying attention.

So, as quickly as possible, Gon plucked the chocolate straight from in between his fingers and dropped it in his win mouth, smiling coyly at Killua.

His face turned an angry shade of read and he grabbed Gon by the shoulders, shaking him slightly.

"That was my last chocolate!"

Gon just shrugged.

Killua grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him.

"Give it back!!"

Gon didn't think twice before answering.

"If we kiss, you can still taste it."

...

What?

...

Killua face turned a bright shade of red and he quickly shot back from his close proximity to Gon.

But the green haired boy was just as perplexed. Why was he being so flirtatious? And that was the worst possible way to say that too. He was cringing so hard.

He quickly swallowed the chocolate and went back to his books, pushing his back up against the wall.

Killua just numbly walked to the bathroom and began brushing his teeth, unsure of what to do.

Was that just a joke? That was a joke. It was a definitely a joke.

Funniest joke ever.

Haha..

Just thinking about it was making him blush uncontrollably. Eventually, he just splashed water on his face, brushed his teeth, and slid under his covers, facing away from Gon.

He fell into a dreamless state right before shin began to put up his books and get ready for bed.

In the morning, they both quickly remembered about what had happened the night before.

The blushed and repeated the same procedure the night before.

They were silent and did not bump into each other for their own sakes and took turns brushing their teeth in the bathrooms like they never had done ever.

It was always brushing their teeth together and bumping into each constantly while giggling nonstop.

They didn't want to talk about it. Gon was still cringing about it in his head. Why did he actually say that? That was so... middle school level of him to say.

At least, that's what he had heard Asui call cringe moments.

Today, they were supposed to meet Todoroki and Ochako at the hospital because they weee finally getting discharged.

Half of the class was torn on being excited or worried that they weren't going to be okay, especially since the UA sports festival was coming up, but they pushed that aside as the bus rolled into the hospital parking lot.

It smelled just like antiseptics and sorrow, which was not anyone's favorite.

Gon lightly held Killua's wrist as they walked slowly down the long, white hallway after Aizawa and All Might.

They were sent into small room were both Todoroki and Ochako were being cared for. Todoroki's siblings and Ochako's parents sat side beside chatting with each other. Ochako was getting her blood pressure checked and she was sitting at the edge of the hospital bed like she was eager to leave. Hee expression seemed dull and she had many bandages still shrouding her now pale cheeks.

Todoroki say in the bed a few feet away as nurses checked his heartbeat and smiles at him assuring my as he stared back with a clueless expression. His IV bandage was getting removed and getting dressed again, but other than that, there was no really outlying difference.

The class stood awkwardly in the corner as the families died down at their talking and glanced the class's direction, giving a few simple nods.

Aizawa and All Might were pulled aside so they could give them a few pointers at keeping the kids in hood condition even with heel training. They were both expected to make a full recovery with the exception of a few jagged battle scars.

Eventually, the families said goodbye to their designated child and they sauntered out of the room one by one.

Ochako just stood up mechanically and followed Aizawa back to the bus without even saying a word.

Everyone looked at Todoroki in questioning, but he only shrugged and answered very vaguely.

"She's just mourning."
