Awakening of a Forgotten Threat

Chapter 6: Promise

Dedicated to @StephHXHSAOpoke and @AlliahZoldyck!

Reader's POV

"I meant that I wish you were my wife."

The exact words that he murmured to me that day spun around in my head. Me too, Killua. I wish that you were my husband, and that I could finally be yours. But, what if I'm not good enough for your family...?

If only...

I spent the entire day thinking about that sentence, and the sentence before that.

"I want you to be my Mrs. in everything. Because you are."

I wonder what my mother would have thought if I had told her something like that. I knew she wouldn't scold me. On the contrary, she would burst into tears of joy and hug me tight, saying that she wanted to meet Killua.

My father would have tried to kill the entire Zoldyck family. But then my mother would come out of nowhere and knock him out, saying there was no need for such violence.

My parents would would never fight that much. Only about my future and who I would marry. My mom would say that I would want to marry someone of the Zoldyck family (and she was right) and my dad would say that I needed to marry whoever I chose, and he just added to Mom's theory.

And now, I've decided. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Killua.

Are you happy for me, Mom? This is the life you wanted me to live. Happy and in love.

But what would you say if the man I loved had a sister who he loves just as much as me...? Would you say, "It doesn't matter whether he has a sister or not, just love him."?

I wish she was here right now so I would feel less confused.

But what's to be confused about? Just love him, she said.

I was shaken out of my thoughts suddenly. Literally shaken.

"Y/n! Are you even listening?!" Killua was the one who had shaken me, quite violently, in fact.

I blinked twice and looked around, confused. I had forgotten where we were. Oh, yeah, that's right... we're in our room, and he had just woken up...

"You had such an empty expression on your face..." Killua breathed. "You didn't react even when I buried my face into your cleavage..."

I snapped my gaze towards him. "You did what?!"

Killua's lips slowly curved into a devilish smile. " Yes I did. You were very warm."

My cheeks heated up and I hugged myself, protecting my chest. Damned hentai... I should smack him for that...

Killua then looked surprised. "I was cold!" He defended.

I immediately forgot my anger and went into mothering mode. "You were cold? Get under the covers, then!"

Killua was very surprised by my sudden change of emotion. He slowly tilted his head at me. "You... are so very... interesting." He slowly smiled again. "I like it."

I looked away at the wall. "Just get under the covers..." I commanded.

"Only if I can hold you. Let my hold my y/n." He sort of begged. Without letting me answer, he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me towards him.

Once my back was to his chest, I started to flail my arms and legs, trying to grabs something. If it was small and breakable, I'll smash it over his head. If it was big and breakable... same thing. I needed to grab something that'll give him a concussion...!

My flailing became more frantic when he nuzzled into my neck and let out his endearing purr. I could feel his throat vibrating peacefully every second. My cheeks began to heat up when he softly kissed my neck.

After a few minutes of continuous purring, he murmured, "Now we can get under the covers if you want, y/n."

I almost screamed a huge "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." But my lips stayed shut as if they were glued together.

So, I let him pull the covers over us. At once, we were embraced by a humid temperature and darkness. I felt Killua's arms move up to my back, and I felt his lips touch my forehead softly.

"Damn, I wish we were married.... I'd have you all to myself..." He purred again, pressing his forehead against mine.

That one word... That one gesture, forced my mind to become blank. It was the third time he had (outwardly) mentioned our marriage. I didn't question him about it, ever. I wanted it to happen, I really did. And I can guarantee that Alluka wished it to happen as well.

"Killua..." I couldn't say anything else. Believe me, I wanted to say so much more, but I was at a loss for words.

"Y/n..." He pulled away from my forehead. "Would you let me do something?"

This time, I could speak. Because I knew he was a freakin pervert, I had to be cautious. "Depends on what it is."

"Let me bury my face in your cleavage."

".................... Why?"

Killua looked straight into my e/c eyes. "Because I want to."

Because I want you to. That was his answer for everything, it seemed when it came to me. If I refused, he'd just keep asking over and OVER again. "Looks like I don't got a choice, do I...?"

"You never do." He replied simply, with a smirk in his face.

I sighed deeply. Taking that as a yes, Killua moved his head down to my chest, and after reeling his head back and taking a deep breath, he plunged his head into my chest, almost earning a sock in the head.

My cheeks heated up when he nuzzled into the area and tightened his arms around me. Immediately, I lifted the covers due to the incredible heat that was taking over my body. I relaxed as the cool air tingled my face.

Killua separated his arms from each other and moved each hand up and down my back slowly. I almost let out a moan, but I shut my mouth and grit my teeth before I could. Killua was overwhelming me...

"Na, Killua... You mind getting out?" I asked before I could moan again.

Killua looked up at me for a moment with a light blush on his face. His ice blue eyes were flashing with love, and a slight smile graced his lips.

"I'll get out..." He started. As he spoke, the blush on his face became redder. "But let's make a promise, alright?."

I blinked twice, wondering what it'd be.

(Play music)

"Let's get married one day, you and I."

My breath hitched in my throat as Killua moved back up to my face. Without a word, he placed a hand on my cheek softly and slowly.

"Then I can hold you as long as I want." Killua whispered, inching closer. I was unable to move as he crashed his lips onto mine.

Compared to the other kisses, this one was softer and more genuine, just like our first kiss. He pulled away after about twelve seconds and looked into my eyes.

"I love you, y/n..." Killua whispered.

"I... Love you too, Killua..." I whispered back, smiling sweetly.

Suddenly, he smirked. "And when we're married, I'll finally express how much I want you... If you know what I mean..."

I widened my eyes. Wait, what?

"Alright... But let's wait a while, okay?" I wrapped my own arms around his back and buried my face into his chest. He immediately returned the favor.

That's right. I shouldn't care about what his family thinks. I should follow Mom's instructions. I will just love him.
