After The Years || KILLUA ZOLDYCK ✔

Chapter 55

Killua's POV

"I bet you were soooo in love with me during elementary that you sneaked in a kiss on me!" I teased her, nudging Rikka's shoulder.

She ruffled my hair in frustration, her face bright red, "Ahhhh! Just shut up already!"

Too adorable. Oh man. Too cute. Wanna tease her more.

I cleared my throat and said, "Hmm, that's your letter? That's it? Nothing else?"

Her eyes blazed in anger, "Why? Is there a problem?"

A bead of sweat formed on my forehead and chuckled nervously, "Ha-ha, nevermind." I grabbed my letter to Rikka and unfolded it. "It's my turn now."

To be honest, my heart was still beating so fast from her letter, especially the last sentence. Like darn, I could read that over again!

Because this time capsule of ours was buried years ago, I couldn't even remember what I wrote in here. I hope there aren't some embarrassing lines here.

As I prepared my throat for some reading, I breathed in and spoke:

Oy Clumsy Girl,

Why did we even think of making this time capsule in the first place? This is such a drag! I still have to finish my homework at home and now Mom and Dad are going to scold me! It's all your fault cuz you're such a klutz and an airhead!

Okay...sorry. I didn't mean that. Deep down, I'm still happy because I get to hang out with you. I'm so tired of studying and training at home.

What should I write here? Is this like some sort of love letter? Ew, please, that's so cheesy, Rikka. Should I just write why I'm still walking around with you? Yeah, that's a great idea.

Our class during fifth grade is the first one to get out of school. You were still a level below me so I had an evil plan to make you cry after school. When your class ends, you always run when you arrive near the gate so I wait. When you're almost out, I bring out my foot forward and then you fall on your face.

Hahaha! What a priceless face expression you did back then! You were crying like a baby! But of course, when I do too much, I buy you strawberry ice cream, your favorite. Did you know that it kinda makes me happy when I see you smile? Nah, you won't know.

Do you remember those times when I used to go to your house during summer vacation? Your mom baked a lot of chocolate cake and we were always competing who eats the most! And guess who wins all the time? Of course, ME!

Ha! I get to see you cry all over again! It's like there isn't a day where I can't make you cry. But seeing you lose like that a lot of times makes me sad too. So I made a surprise for you.

When you arrived home from shopping with your mom, you were so surprised to see me holding a bouquet of pink tulips. Then you asked what I was doing. I didn't answer your question and I just said that I'll bring more tulips for you.

"Why?" you asked.

"So that someday I can kiss your pink two-lips." I said shyly.

I was blushing by then because of my pick-up line. But it was all worth it because after I gave you the bouquet, I did kiss you on the lips and your mom was freaking out like a fangirl. Maybe that was the time I realized my feelings for you. Maybe it was also the time I fell for you.

I don't know for sure.

By the time you were in 6th grade and I was in the 7th, I was planning to confess to you but my father announced that we were gonna move to another house somewhere far away-the US.
