Hisoka's First Christmas (AU! Hisoka x Reader)

Ch. 1 : December 1

After a long day of work, you crawled your way towards your apartment elevator, your knees feeling limp and lethargic. Your boss had created a shit-load of work for you to finish, the thought of it made you curse under your breath.

"Damn you, Leorio,"

Just as if you'd said the magic word, the elevator door opens up as you stumble your way to your room.

All you could think about is how nice a warm bath is going to soothe your tired body, along with a steaming warm mug of tea to reheat yourself after the freezing cold journey from your job to your apartment complex.

Pulling your keys out of your pocket, you fumbled with them until you found the one that'll get you into your apartment. But before you could try to get into your house, you heard a sickeningly sweet voice call out to you,

"Good evening, (y/n). Tough day at work, I'm guessing?"

You groaned in response, hesitantly turning around to face your fuchsia haired neighbor.

"Yeah, my boss almost killed me with the amount of work he threw at me today." You began, hoping he'd get the point, "So, listen Hisoka, I'm gonna go ahead -"

But before you could finish your statement, you were quickly cut off by Hisoka's overbearing tone.

"Wait, (y/n)! I know you must be exhausted, would you be alright if I dropped some dinner by for you. It'd be the least of my troubles."

Was this guy for real? You couldn't help but feel this was a... set-up. But, you were starving, so you pushed your sense of judgement to the side for now.

"Alright," You mumbled, catching Hisoka's attention again, "Thank you so much, I know this is something completely out of your way for you to do, and I do appreciate it."

You sent a soft smile towards the tall male before turning back around to go back to your door. Just when he knew you weren't going to turn around, me made sure to check you out from behind, his sweet smile forming into a pervy grin.

Slowly, you pushed open your apartment door as it creaked its way open, and you longingly looked into your home. Everything had never looked so comfy before.

Trudging over to your bathroom, you turned on your shower knob and filled your bathtub with borderline scalding hot water, dropping in your favorite bath bomb.

The (scent) was relaxing yet addicting. You had never been a fan of taking baths until you discovered these little beauties.

After enjoying your shortly lived bath, you drifted your way to your washing machine, looking for your (f/c) pajamas that you had placed in the washing machine earlier this morning.

"Hmm, I know they've got to be around here somewhere," You mumbled while you dug through the pile of clothes inside the drying machine. While rummaging around through various garments, you saw a (f/c) cloth peeking through the mountain of clothes.

"Aha! Found it!" You cheered, but your happiness was unfortunately shortly lived.

Before you knew it, your front door had swung open as the guilty culprit barged in, his hands carrying containers filled with food.

"I'm here-!" Hisoka sung out, placing the containers on a nearby table. Once his eyes gazed towards you, though, you yelled out of embarrassment.

"Jeez, Hisoka! Don't you ever knock before you enter a room?" Your cheeks were flushed as you grabbed a towel that happened to be close by. Did my creepy next door neighbor just creep in on me only wearing my underwear?, you thought.

Hisoka's eyes narrowed as a mischievous grin appeared across his face.

"Hmm, well perhaps if your lack of clothes was going to be such a problem, you should have been wearing more."

What had slipped out of his mouth had struck a nerve in you, and once you had successfully changed into your pajamas, you made sure to punch him in the arm with all your force. Of course, it didn't phase him much, and he was able to laugh it off without much thought.

Gradually, the awkwardness began to fade away, and you were able to converse with Hisoka as if nothing had happened. As you stuffed your face with (favorite food), you managed to mumble out in between bites,

"Hey, want to watch something on TV? Probably nothing great on cable, but sometimes you can luck out if you search enough."

Flipping through random channels, it dawned on you that Hisoka had never done something so nice for you before, let alone anyone else. So what was up with him and doing something (sort of) kind?

"Hey, Hisoka"

Mumbling in response, you received a "Hmm?" from the fuchsia haired man.

"Why did you help me out today?" You asked, before growing worried that your tone of voice sounded unappreciative. "I-I mean it's not that I don't appreciate it! But I don't understand why you did it."

Hisoka slightly grinned in response, "I don't really know myself, honestly. I guess you could blame it on the Christmas spirit."

He chuckled a bit, but suddenly stopped. His features weren't the same as they usually were, and he appeared more serious. If you didn't know better, you would think there was hurt flashing in his golden eyes.

"I doubt that either, though. Considering I don't really understand Christmas, and I never celebrated it growing up. So maybe -"

Before Hisoka could finish his train of thought, you interjected boldly, 

"What?! Hisoka, you've NEVER celebrated Christmas? Not even decorating or something, even getting a gift?" To put it slightly, you were a bit taken aback. Your (e/c) irises were wider than ever. Along with your shock, you had begun to talk with your hands, which is something you only did when you were completely flabbergasted.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea had popped into your mind.

"Since you don't have any experience with celebrating Christmas and all of the joy that comes with it, I have to take it upon myself to show you all that you've been missing out!" You shouted, before anxiously adding, "B-but only because you decided to actually be nice to me for once, and not a complete creep!"

This seemed to please Hisoka, as his face lit up and he almost resembled a child's. But before he was able to thank you for your offer, you shouted at the male.

"By the way, I know that you barging in here wasn't an incident!"

A/N:

Hey guys, I know that we are VERY far away from December, but I had this idea and I wanted to use it before I completely forgot. Plus, I'm always slow at updates so I more than likely won't finish until December anyways. So I hope that you guys liked the first chapter, and please feel free to leave a comment about what you thought!
