[AU] KilluaxReader: Reaching for You

Chapter 3

Killua sighs as the last bell rings. "Finally!", he exclaims, stretching out his arms. He grabs his backpack and rushes out of the classroom along with his classmates.

He walks to his locker, dropping off unnecessary books and notebooks. He doesn't close the door though. Killua stares at the inside of his locker. His blue eyes stare sadly at it. He wishes that he was a normal person. Not an assassin. All he wants is to have a normal life. His entire life to be normal. Going to school now isn't really normal. It's just for training. Training to blend in with society. So that it's harder for his victims to find him. Defeat him. Killua bites the bottom of his lips then let's out a sigh. I just want to be a regular teen. I just want to have friends. To be play with them. Hang out. That's all I want.. Once he's done thinking, he closes the locker door.

"Hey!"

Killua looks at you, not surprised. "Hi.", he replies simply.

You pout, "Darn. I thought I scared you. I guess it wouldn't work since you're an assassin." Your tongue sticks out a bit.

Killua lets out a small chuckle. His hand pats the top of your head. "Nice try though." A small smile forms on his lips. Even though he has a smile, he feels a bit of sadness on the inside. He doesn't want to be think of as an assassin. He doesn't want one of his first friends, if you're even friends, to think of him as one.

You continue to pout. "I was trying to scare you because you looked so depressed earlier.", you mutter.

Killua blinks in surprise. She saw that? He looks down again. "Oh.." Does she still want to be friends with me?

"Stop pouting!"

Your hands grab the sides of his mouth, pulling them upwards. "Smile!"

Killua grabs your hands, trying to pry them away. "Hey! Stop! Eek! Stop!"

"Not until you smile!"

"Why?"

"Cause you look nice with a smile!"

"Eeeehhhh?!"

Nice...? With a smile? Why?

"Come on! Smile!"

Everyone stops to stare at the both of you. In their eyes, it looks like the both of you are a couple. Everyone in their groups mutter to each other.

Killua notices and exclaims, "Alright alright! I'll smile."

You stop and pull your hands away. Killua sighs and gives you a huge smile. A real, genuine one.

You blink before giving back a huge smile of your own. "I told you. You look really nice with that smile."

Killua blinks in surprise again. His cheeks becomes red from your comment. He looks away in embarrassment. His hands shake in front of him. "Y-You don't have to say stuff like that!"

You giggle. "I want to! You're my friend! That's what friends do!"

Friends? We're really friends? She's my.... (Y/n) is my....

"(Y/n)!! Killua!!"

Gon runs towards the both of you. Kurapika and Leorio follows him from behind.
