Spreading your lips, the feeling of dry air fills your lungs and thirst greets you awake.

Sitting up, you realized chrollo was no longer your pillow. Where did everyone go? you thought

The need for water bugged and you gave up on going back to sleep until that need was fulfilled.

You snuck around the cabin heading for the kitchen, when you heard someone snore.

Curious about who it was, you creaked a bedroom door open to see Hisoka snuggling a pillow and mouth wide open. You chuckled, closing the door quietly, allowing him to carry on.
