A Genius Thrown to the Wolves

Volleyball Ch. 68

Hisoka watches as the thoughts behind Kiyotaka's eyes fade. Feels his body going lax. Hisoka loves that the boy has completely relaxed into him, and getting to gently hold his head in his hands as he plays with the fluffy appendages. Hisoka doesn't know how, but he feels himself subconsciously relaxing as well. Maybe Kiyotaka was just the emotional support cat he needed. Hisoka doesn't have many thoughts after that as the two of them mindlessly dose off in each others embrace. 'It was a good day' the two of them had thought before fully succumbing to sleep.

The next morning was a normal morning for them. Hisoka doting on Kiyotaka before going to make breakfast and Kiyotaka soaking it in, and lazing in bed until breakfast is ready. After breakfast they both got dressed for the day.

Hisoka's new outfit:

Kiyotaka's new outfit:

(Pants fall a bit lower and the jacket it cropped more (gotta show off the waist))

Kiyotaka was still being left in the dark about where they were going. Not that he cared. If anything it was only growing his curiosity. That could go either way for Hisoka. Now that he had been experiencing more emotion he also started to hold expectations about things. He also found that when things didn't live up to his expectations he tended to handle it more childishly then he'd ever admit. He usually took those feelings out on Hisoka whether it was his doing or not.

Kiyotaka instinctively dodged when he heard two voices calling his name and getting closer. The two boys, who he knew were Killua and Gon landed roughly in front of him. When they got up he was quick to pat them on their heads as a greeting, uttering a quick 'sorry, didn't know it was you' to further appease the situation. Kiyotaka pat them on the head for two reasons, so he could wipe the offended and confused looks off their face and to keep them at arms length. It's true he found himself quite fond of Killua, and Gon had ever so slightly grown on him, but he did not want the kind of physical greeting he knew the boys had been aiming for. Thankfully they seemed overjoyed at the head pats they'd received so it ended well for everyone.

"Who is this Hisoka?" Kiyotaka heard from behind him. Before he could even turn around, Hisoka had picked him up and set him on his shoulder. Now looking down at the small girl, Hisoka introduced him. "Bisky this is my cat I was telling you about~" Bisky rolled her eyes at his antics "He's a person. A seemingly docile one with how easily he let you grab him." Hisoka only smirked before continuing. "Bisky, this is Kiyotaka. Kiyo this is Bisky. She's currently training and mentoring Gon and Killua. Very skilled nen user too." At that Bisky saw Kiyotaka's eyes dilate and realized he was using gyo. She waited to see how good his detection was. He observed for a second before tilting his head to the side a bit. When he stopped using gyo all he said was, "I bet Killua calls an old hag. That sounds like something he'd say." Before laying across Hisoka's shoulder's, his tail flicking lazily.

Bisky was shocked. 'How had he known from just using gyo. It shouldn't be possible to tell, so how did he figure it out?' She very quickly realized why Hisoka was so clearly infatuated with the  person on his shoulders.

"Do I get to know where we're going now?" Kiyotaka asked, bringing Bisky out of her train of thought. Hisoka began walking into the building "We're going to play some volleyball."

"Volleyball? Why?"

"Don't worry you'll have fun, out opponent is a strong nen user, so lets crush his ego with that pretty little brain of yours."

Hisoka and Kiyotaka could only smirk as they thought about how they should go about his. They both seemed to agree that they should let the two younger boys have so fun first, they could save the ego crushing for a bit later. "Let's play some volleyball then." Kiyotaka was happy  this was living up to the expectations he'd set.
