Awakening of a Forgotten Threat

Chapter 17: Engagement, Promise, or Just Because He Loves You?

Alluka's POV (Long Title, Right? GOOD!!)

I opened the window with two hands as I waited for my two lovebirds to get home. I had crafted the perfect plan to lock them in an abandoned pantry all the way across town.

Kleo said it was a suicide just waiting to happen, but I wanted Brother and y/n to marry each other already!

Brother even bought a ring. I'm not kidding.

Honestly, I had no idea what that ring signified. It was either a promise ring, engagement ring, or a ring that you give to your girlfriend. But I wanted that ring to come onto y/n-nee's finger, and ain't nothing stopping me from seeing that.

"They must've woken up already." Kleo warned from across the living room, staring at me with a concerned gaze. "When they get back, they're gonna bombard us with questions. I told you this is dangerous."

I sighed deeply and grabbed the television remote, turning it on to Chowder. "Will you lighten up?" I puffed my chest out with pride. "They'll have no idea that Something and I crafted this perfect plan. At least we didn't poof them somewhere naked."

Kleo frowned and buried her face in one of y/n-née's books without replying.

All of a sudden, I heard the crisp sound of lighting. On the ground. I gasped. "Crap. They're home." Instantly, I felt nervous. Brother's hella smart. What if he finds out that Something and I sent them to that pantry?!

I looked out the window and almost had a nosebleed.

Killua was carrying y/n bridal-style. Ecstatic, I hugged myself and closed my eyes, already fantasizing about y/n going down the aisle...

I looked at Kleo and was surprised to see her shaking her head with dissatisfaction. Yeah, I know this was a bad idea, but just wait until I help y/n-née pick out her wedding dress!★

The door busted open to reveal Brother and y/n-née looking all round frantically. Brother spotted me first, and y/n-née spotted Kleo. She leapt out of his arms, which by the way almost made me yell in anger, and ran to where Kleo was at the dining table.

Before I could blink, Brother was embracing me. Very, very, crushingly.

"Thank God you're safe, Alluka!" He let go and faced me with a worried expression. "Did you miss us?"

"No," I smiled calmly. "You were only gone for five hours."

"Five hours?!" Y/n and Brother screamed in unison.

This time, Kleo responded. "Yes. Five hours." She was staring at me still, probably wondering if I'd confess to my prank.

I'm not calling it a crime because it wasn't a crime. It was a very stupid prank that should satisfy me.

"Where were you?" I questioned.

"We were locked in a pantry on the other side of town." Y/n replied, hugging Kleo tightly. "We don't know how we got there, or why we were there."

"It's crazy how the person managed to get us across town without me noticing..." Brother muttered.

I decided to press the matter a bit. "So~... What did you do in there with her?" I whispered in Brother's ear with a big smile.

Immediately, he blushed fervently. " Wha-? A-Alluka! I didn't do anything...!"

I snickered at him. Y/n heard this and scrutinized us with her e/c gaze. "Hey-! What're you two talking about?"

Kleo nodded in agreement. "Yeah. What are you two talking about, Alluka?" She emphasized on my name.

Brother held his hands up defensively. One, to cover his blush. And two, to convince them that they didn't hear anything. He laughed nervously. And scratched the back of his head. "N-nothing! Nothing important!"
