A Genius Thrown to the Wolves

Instincts II Ch. 38

Hisoka had started to rub Kiyotaka's head, "Good Kiyo~" Hisoka had praised, sending a shiver down his spine and lead to a quiet rumble forming in his throat. Kiyotaka was hesitant to agree because it had not even been a half hour since he woke up and he was already behaving so strangely, what else would he feel compelled to do if the day continued like this? Hisoka, on the other hand, was excited to see where the day would take them, and all the new cute sides of his kitten he'd get to see.

After they finished breakfast, Hisoka was insisting on Kiyotaka wearing a new outfit. Kiyotaka was hesitant because all the outfits he'd been given so far were definitely meant for a woman to wear, and for whatever reason had been constantly confused as one even before he wore such clothes. It truly did confuse him, the only logical reason he could of was his height, but there were plenty of short men.

This was the outfit Hisoka had laid out for him. It was more comfortable then the last outfit, but he didn't know how he felt with the amount exposure up top. He had to admit that he liked the pants, they were far more comfortable then they looked at first glance. He looked in the mirror at Hisoka who was standing behind him, admiring what he had done with a soft smile on his face. "I have great sense of fashion, if I do say so myself!"

With that he spun Kiyotaka around to face him. "I'd like to go explore the area around the tower" Kiyotaka all but blurred out suddenly, before calmly placing a hand over his mouth with a look of confused just barely etched into the crease of his eyebrows. "Ah! Another urge I see! We can go explore and satisfy your curiosity!" Hisoka said before getting dressed himself.

"Alright! Ready to go kitten?" Kiyotaka found himself preening at the name, where he definitely hadn't before. It felt to weird and satisfying at the same time, so he couldn't hate it. "I am." He and Hisoka made their way out the door, but at the first sign of people, Kiyotaka's body reacted on its own, he hooked his arm around Hisoka's and practically glued their hips together. Hisoka only chuckled and reached over with his other hand to ruffle his hair before opening the tower entrance door for the both of them.

"It looks a lot busier then when we first arrived." Kiyotaka observed. "It does, that's because it's right around the time when the tower gets a influx of fighters, so more people move and set up stalls here." "I see, that does make-" Kiyotaka was cut off my a hand on his shoulder. When this happened, instead of feeling nothing, he felt a sense of disgust and anger burst in his chest, but kept his face neutral. Some guy had turned him around, causing him to loose contact with Hisoka who was close by quietly observing the situation.

Kiyotaka looked at the hand on his shoulder then to the face in front of him, who'd epically spoiled his mood. "What would you like?" He asked the man, just wanting to get this over with without drawing attention and be able to go on his way. "I just wanted to invite you to hang out with me, ditch the guy you got over there, what do you say?" "You're aware I'm a guy, correct?" Kiyotaka watched as the guys eyes widened, but his cocky smirk quickly returned to his face. "Well I wasn't, but that doesn't matter to me. So? What's it gonna be?" "What is it that you want to do?" "Huh? I want to take you out treat you right, show you a ... good time"

Kiyotaka just rolled his eyes. "Does this usually work for you?" "What?" "Do girls, or guys I guess, agree to go with you when you approach them like this?" The guy sputtered for a second, "why wouldn't they?" Kiyotaka plucked the guys hand off his shoulder, "Well, to be completely honest, the way you interrupted was quite rude, and the manner in which you spoke just now was crude. A turn off, if you will. Not to mention that you haven't introduced yourself or bothered to ask me my name. This means you're rude, crude, and lacking manners, all things that 'that guy' isn't." Kiyotaka, who'd been starting at nothing, shifted his gaze to meet the guys eyes. "I don't have a habit of downgrading." This wiped the smile off the guys face completely, "I'll have you know, plenty of people would kill to go out with me!" This guy was starting to spiral, "You know WHAT!! YOU'RE JUST A WH-"

Hisoka came up behind the guy, and shut him up. "My kitten has said no to you. Now. We came to have a nice day on the town, and I won't have you ruin that by causing an even bigger scene." Hisoka let out a wave a bloodlust at the man, "now if you don't silently walk away, I'll kill you where you stand. Understand?" The man in grip nodded furiously before being let go and sprinting out of sight. Hisoka sent a quick glare to the people who stopped to watch, warning them to mind their own business.

Kiyotaka, while grateful for the action, couldn't be bothered by the people's stairs, instead choosing to go back to looking at the ribbon on display in from of him. It reminded him of a certain brother con he back before he ended up here. Hisoka grabbed the bow he was looking at and inspected it, "hmm" "hmm, what?" Kiyotaka asked. "Hmm, it would suit you." Hisoka turned to the stall keeper, "we'll take this one~" Hisoka paid, took the bow and put it in Kiyotaka's hair. "Perfect~" Perfect. Kiyotaka repeated in his head with a small smile slipping on his face. This was perfect.
