Awakening of a Forgotten Threat

Chapter 5: Spongebob Can't Fix This

(Short chapter!)

Alluka's POV (play music)

I heard the small sound of an empty cartridge colliding on the floor and a new one being loaded in the gun that Kleo held. I wanted to hold the gun, but I didn't have enough experience or courage to shoot somebody if they came bursting through the door.

So I was holding y/n-nee's long scissors that she kept under her bed. Each minute, I blamed myself for this whole thing. But Kleo blamed herself for letting me do something so stupid.

But blaming ourselves was foolish. After all, the people to blame are tose damn black suits for chasing us- no, for painting a sign that read 'ARCADE' on their front door!! I mean, who does that?!

Now when Brother and y/n-nee get back home, they're gonna have a heart attack knowing that I was in danger, and that I had dragged my friend into it.

So I will defend myself. I'll defend us!!

A large boom interrupted my chaotic thoughts. Immediately, I heard feet stomping up the stairs. From what I could hear, there was probably more than three.

Dammit.

"Ohh, they're testin the limits now~..." Kleo snarled as we heard pounding on the door.

I held the scissors up before me, ready for anything. I think...

The door practically exploded, sending me into a momentary state of confusion.

Kleo stared at me, awaiting for the signal to shoot.

Thank God for my momentary shock. Otherwise, I would have told her to shoot immediately, and we would've murdered Brother and y/n-née.

Because they had been the ones to burst through that door. Brother was wrapped in an electrifying aura, his hair spiked and everything. Y/n-née's slender form was slumped over his shoulder as if she was dead. Yet I knew she wasn't.

Kleo lowered the shotgun. She recognized Brother, but not y/n-nee. So her eyes still flashed with suspicion.

I dropped the scissors and ran towards my brother, and embraced him tightly. He wasted no time in wrapped one arm around my form and holding me close.

"It's okay. Brother's here now. You weren't hurt, were you?" I was amazed at how he stayed calm after seeing Kleo and me facing the door with two lethal weapons. How he stayed calm after hearing my frantic voice on the phone. I still wonder about it today.

I felt the tingling, electrifying sensation leave him and I could feel his natural warmth.

"Alluka, are you sure that you're fine?" This time I heard y/n-nee's voice from over Brother's shoulder. But I couldn't see her expression because my face was buried into Brother's chest.

"So, you both made it home unscathed?" Y/n-née asked as I cuddled into Brother's side. She was rubbed Kleo's back as she (Kleo) sipped her tea peacefully.

"Yeah, but you two whooped those black suits..." Kleo breathed in admiration.

Brother and y/n-née literally destroyed the black suits that were about to raid our house. When I had looked out the window, I saw them twisted on the ground like they had fallen from the 7th floor. It was a rare sight that I didn't want to see again...

To my dismay, y/n-nee wasn't sitting next to Brother, she was sitting with Kleo. I wanted to be an aunt! Boy or girl, I don't care!! Yeah, I'm a crazy person.

"Alluka, want some tea?" Y/n-née asked me.

"No thank you..." I was pretty tired after all the crap that transpired. I picked up the remote that always happened to be next to me and switched on the television. As always, SpongeBob was on. For once in my life, I didn't feel exuberant and carefree as I usually was when I watched SpongeBob. I felt like throwing up.

Huh. For once, I guess SpongeBob can't fix everything. So I switched off the television right when Sandy hit Patrick in his head. Brother rubbed my arm up and down to calm my heart, but it barely worked.

What a day today was. Kleo finally came over to my house, but not in the circumstances I would ask for. Brother and y/n-née went on their first date, but came back frantic and worried instead of being relaxed and fully in love with each other. Well, they are fully in love. And I found guns and knives under y/n-née and Brother's bed.

"So, you found my stash of weapons, eh?" Y/n-née cut through the awkward silence and made it even more awkward.

"Eh-uh... It wasn't me!" I directed my gaze to Kleo, who had widened her eyes at me like she didn't do anything.

"What do you mean?? I didn't do jack!!" She defended. "I only found them!! I didn't know you didn't know about those weapons!"

Y/n-née attempted to stop the argument from going any further. "It was my fault for stashing them there in the first place..."

Now Brother poked his head into the situation. "That's fine. If that's all you need to protect yourself, that's fine."

Y/n-nee's expression darkened when she heard Brother's monotonous voice and saw his indifferent expression. I felt pity tingle my stomach. He could've at least had a little smile on his face.

Reader's POV

"Woow! Killua, look at this cutie!" I pointed at a bean bag that sat in the corner of the store. It was f/c and it had words on it. It said, "This is for BO$$ES only!!" I was very intrigued by it.

Killua walked over next to me and stared at the bean bag with me. "Ha... That's funny." He chuckled. I heard him mutter, "I wonder if Alluka would like it..."

My breath hitched in my throat. I knew it was selfish, but... That was the thirteenth time he had mentioned Alluka. Since the time at the cafe, till now.

And all he had done this entire time was hug me. Was I being too clingy? Was there something wrong? Did he want to spend time with Alluka? I didn't know what I had done wrong.

"Y/n... Y/n... Y/n!! Come on, girl!" Killua was shaking my shoulder slightly.

"Eh- O-okay..." I stammered and followed him to the other side of the store.

Killua wrapped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer. He kissed my temple softly, then whispered in my ear, "You know I love you, right?"

"Of course." I whispered back.

But I still felt like I was in 2nd place for his love...
