Repulsive Beauty || Hisoka

14. On Disapproval

"TTEESSS!" I hear from down the hall.

Looking that way I saw Killua and Gon pushing each other and running towards me.
Over the last few weeks the boys had been on my tail, always asking questions and wanting to show me their progress. It's been really fun having them as company, they remind me of my little brother in so many ways. And yet in so many ways they are so much different.
"Tess! Tess look!" Gon begged as he exploded with ren.
His face was bruised and swollen from his match with Hisoka earlier this week, but you wouldn't know it by his attitude.
"Awesome Gon, that's so much more than last week!" I praised, watching his little face light up.
"Oh yeah? Well look what I learned. Brace yourselves." Killua warned.
He stood quiet for a moment before releasing a burst of blood lust at me.
"Kil, Jesus Christ don't do that." I batted at his shoulder.
"I didn't mean it, I just have to say in my head that I want to kill you" he tried to defend.
"Oh yeah that makes it so much better." I snipped sarcastically, shaking my head at him.
I promised them I'd show them my whips and demonstrate their powers for them, so we were heading to the sparring room.
It's just a huge auditorium with the floor covered in matts, and a tape grid. The boys took turns trying to dodge my whip, though I got them a few times despite really trying not to.
"Ow!... That really feels like a real whip..." Gon pouted.
"I'm sorry hun, gotta be quicker than that." I teased.
"So you can't freeze our nen because we aren't projecting it?" Killua asked after we had finished playing.
"Yeah exactly. That power is most useful against Emitters, Transmuters, and Conjurerers. Occasionally a Specialist. Enhancers and Manipulators are a little harder to get a grasp on." I explained. "Alright I've had plenty of fun beating you guys up but let's get some dinner."

We sat down at the restaurant and I took my light cardigan off, scooching into the booth across the boys.
"Have you seen Hisoka? I remember he was bothering you a few weeks ago after your fight." Gon asked, playing with his straw.
"We're on good terms" I replied hoping that'd be the end of it.
Killua looked up and started to say something before shock took over his face.
"Jeez Tess, what the hell did you do to your neck?" he asked, leaning to get a better look.
My face got hot immediately. I forgot that my hickies and bite marks were still healing, despite being faint.
"Curling iron incident." I laughed off, but Killua's face had already fallen into a smirk.
"Oh wow, and on your chest too?" Gon asked, looking very concerned.
I was quickly putting my sweater back on.
"Gon, they're no- OW" Kill exclaimed, after I kicked him under the table.
"They're not what?"
"They're not so bad. Is all. Honestly I bet she liked it." Kill teased, staring me down.
"Liked being burned by a curling iron? Why would she like that?" Gon said looking at me.
"He's talking out of his ass Gon, ignore him."
"Okay then. I really don't think you should curl your hair anymore if that's the result."
"Do you have plans to curl your hair tonight, Tess?" Kill baited, still wearing that shit eating grin.
"I might." I snipped, staring him down.
The waitress arrived and set down our drinks and some bread. I sat quietly and watched the boys banter, shooting straw papers at each other and fighting over the last patt of butter.
Gon was tucking into his food with the rest of us when his head shot up suddenly
"Hey I think Hisoka must curl his hair too, I think I saw a few burns on his neck a few days ago. So don't feel so bad, it must be hard to master!" He chided, trying to make me feel better.
Oh sweet mother of god. Of any conversation in the world, this would have to be the most terrifying. Is he playing dumb to make me feel better or his he really so blissfully innocent?
Killua choked on his drink at Gon's words. Please for the love of god Kil, don't.
"WITH HISOKA!?" he screamed, the entire restaurant quieting for a moment.
My face must be ridiculously red.
His voice lowered, now to a screaming whisper.
"Tess, you're fu- curling your hair with HISOKA?!" he continued.
"I don't really think that it matters, Kill does it? A grown woman can do what she wants with her hair." I tried descelating.
"I think I'm lost. Is Hisoka teaching you how to curl your hair? His hair IS pretty nice..." Gon asked, now lost in thought.
"Oh I bet he has a lot to teach you, Tess." Killua snarked, now past his shock and belly laughing. "I guess you really are on good terms. Really really good terms."
I shot him a look. If I could keep Gon in the dark that'd be great. Poor kid doesn't need that image in his head.
"That is pretty nice of him I guess. Just be careful around him okay? He might have ulterior motives." His face scrunched.
"I'll keep that in mind Gon, thanks." I said, now trying to hold back my own laughs.
Killua returned to his hysterics.
"Killua what's so funny? Just because you don't curl your hair doesn't mean other guys can't." Gon defended.
Oh god he's so sweet this is painful.
"Oh I've curled my hair before, Gon." Killua chuffed with a proud grin.
Now it was me who was yelling.
"I'm sorry Kil you WHAT!?" I stared at him shocked. He better be bluffing.
"Well. I mean I guess it wasn't curly curly. It was just wavy. Only a little bit" he defended now turning pink at my disapproval.
"You're too young to be curling your hair. Understood? Kil?" I waited for a response.
"Fine yeah. Whatever mom." he brushed off, going back to his food.
"Hey, I'm serious. You can talk to me about it if you want, I can give you advice for when you're older, or if you're really insistent I can give you... uh... heat proof gloves."
He looked up at me for a second and burst back into hysteria.
Gon looked massively confused. And rightfully so.
"Tess, I'm not really sure you're qualified to give out advice about hair curling just yet. It doesn't seem like you've had enough practice. No offense." he said with some concern.
"None taken , Gon, no worries." I dismissed.

After that, the meal went by quickly despite Killua trying to sneak in a few remarks.
We were walking back to the hotel and Gon had ran up front trying to befriend a pigeon or something.
"I can't even look at you, Tess. I mean, damn you beat Hisoka just to let him do that?" he said gesturing to my neck, mockingly.
"You're a little shit Kill." I said before whacking the back of his head playfully.
"Ow. Come on, I'm just messing with you!" he whined.
"Can you please not tell Gon? Don't ruin it for him."
"Yeah yeah, your gross secret is safe with me." he said, now hands behind his head.
We were walking back into the hotel when it hit the worst case scenario.
"Oh Tess, how are you dear." Hisoka greeted me.
We hadn't seen much of each other since trading numbers, we've both been busy.
"I'm good thanks! Hey I'll catch up with you later okay?" I tried brushing him off.
"Oh Hisoka! It's really nice of you to teach Tess how to curl her hair, but don't try anything funny or there'll be hell to pay." Gon threatened, eyes ablaze.
Killua was choking back laughter, and Hisoka's face looked absolutely lost.
"Curling-" Hisoka started before I interrupted trying to save the situation.
"I was telling them how I got these burns on my neck. Gon said he saw you had a few too and I just told him you were teaching me how to use a curling iron." I explained, shooting stern glances at the marks on his neck.
"Oh. Yes of course." he chuckled, obviously holding back. "Well. She's a quick learner, the burnes are only from it being so hot. Care to give it another try tonight?" he snarked, trying to tease me.
He had unknowingly just essentially said 'We had really hot sex and now you have a dick appointment with me tonight" in front of Killua.
"Oh my GOD, barf." Killua mumbled, before laughing. "Gon let's go watch some fights." he suggested, dragging the innocent boy away.

"Tess were you discussing your sex life with a twelve year old?" Hisoka asked, raising an eyebrow and laughing.
"Inadvertently and against my will, sure."
"So Killua put some pieces together did he. And Gon's just clueless?"
"Yeah." I huffed.
God that was stressful and embarrassing.
"I'm headed to a meeting, I'll be back around ten if you want company," he offered.
"A meeting?" I asked.
He wasn't in business attire unless his meeting was with the Ringling Brothers.
"Yes, a meeting." he dismissed with a smirk that really said 'don't push it'.
"Fine then. Keep your secrets. I'll let you know about tonight."
"Great." he said, stepping closer to me.
He's not going to... he wouldn't... Would he?
He would. And did.
He stepped right up flush with my body and took my face in both of his hands, tilting it up and planting a long and sweet kiss right on my mouth. In public. I had to rest my hands on his waist to keep my balance. I don't think my face has ever been hotter. I mean I guess it's not a secret and I don't mind people knowing but it felt like we had an audience.
My suspicion was proved right by some passerby whooping and whistling at us. He hadn't let go of my face yet.
"I'll be eagerly awaiting your call." he said before letting go and heading out the door.
Okay, well... That was an interesting call on his part.
I turned to head to the elevator, but froze in terror at the sight before me.
Poor little Gon, on his way to return to the arena from the concession stand with his hands full of cotton candy and snacks. He was frozen with his mouth open, staring right back at me.
"TESS YOU'RE.... AND HISOKA!?..."
Oh boy
