"One way or Another." [ Chrollo x Reader x Hisoka ]

"Pleas(e)"

While walking home, I encountered a familiar young man, but still one I hadn't met before. He rushed to me, in a panicked hurry, asking what was I doing barely clothed, why did I seem such a wreck, how did I get there. Covering me in the jacket, of his three piece suit, and guiding me to his place, or what I assumed to be his place.

I don't tend to fool others, but this man, intrigued me deeply, his energy was extremely angered, yet the way he treated me was that of an older, concerned man. Once inside of his house, he prepared a pot of tea, and the atmosphere made a drastic change, in which, a special type of tranquility could be felt everywhere.

Almost fading into the comfort, another man burst through the door, much taller, darker hair, very tall, yet a more youthful energy to him. Maybe they were friends, maybe more, because the second their eyes met, you could tell they felt safe, an awfully nice view. When I noticed that both were wearing suits, I realized something was out of place.

-"Aridam?!"- Right after I turned to drink the tea presented to me, his voice made my jaw dropped.

-"Leorio?"- An expression of "what-the-fuck" plastered on the both of us.

-"I thought we wouldn't see each other again! I missed you so much!"- Sprinting to the little coffee table where I was sitting with my eyes glued on to the blond man, that didn't reveal much other than a slight raise of brows.

-"We saw each other a year, or two ago, it's not that long, Leo."-

-"Wrong! Three years ago. Kill and Gon, were still twelve."- The man sitting in front of me, seemed to have a choked a bit.

-"They aren't twelve, as of now? I swear they don't age."- Both of us laugh, slightly ignoring whoever was in front of me.

-"Sorta looks like it, ya'? Oh! Kurapika, this is Aridam, met her through Gon and Kill, last time we were in York New."- Familiarity struck me one I met his gaze again, I believe he felt the same.

-"Pleasure to meet you."- Immodestly, his, warm, and worried, tone switched to one of indifference.

-"Thank you for helping me, I was a little lost."- Feigning kindness towards him, but still, feeling something missing, mostly because his aura instantly, spiked.

-"Damn! You're gonna stay the night, I can't stay, I just came for some cash."- Half of the sentence, he didn't even say to my face, he just ran off, towards, wherever his wallet was.

-"Don't worry about it! See you later.."- All I got back was a weak wave, while his pockets bulged from the wads of cash, he'd stashed.

The loud door slam, was the last sound heard. This fellow, was clearly debating something that wasn't clear to me, yet. If I hadn't been, expertly, trained, with Chrollo, on how to read emotions, I don't think you'd notice the confusion, and, slight worry, roaming his pale face. With nowhere else to look, I focused on his face, shaping every detail, until I noticed it.

-"You don't seem like the type that enjoys being semi-nude in public, Am I wrong?"- Sipping his tea, starting a conversation without, truly making small-talk.

-"I don't. Still, at the moment, I don't quite regret it."- Smiling to myself, looking off, just seeing if I can "flirt" my way out of this.

-"I'll strike you a deal."-

-"Hm? What could you possibly gain from me."-

-"You leave. I don't kill someone."- Whatever cover I had going, was clearly blown.

-"Why would I even care? You deem yourself too important."- A grin flashed before my eyes.

-"Three years ago, I met you. I think you remember, no? You told me you're name was Neonella, either, you lied to me, or to my friends."-
