Falling For You

Meeting

  The rest of the class would immediately protest.

  "Come on! I wanted to do it!"

  "Why him?! He's a freak!"

  Through all the protests, Killua had an expressionless look on his face, though his hands were balled up inside his pockets. "I got better things to do." He replied stiffly, before turning around to leave the class, but Ms. Siberia stops him.

  "Killua. Remember what I said?"

Killua froze when he reached the door.

  "If you don't do this, I'll have no choice, but to sign you up for that session we talked about."

  The other students stared at Killua curiously, wondering what she was talking about. Some even snickered.

  "Fine." Killua hisses under his breathe, before stomping out of the classroom. Gon had to suppress his delight and looks over at Ms. Siberia, who smiles at him encouragingly and he turns to leave the class, heart pounding, to catch up to Killua.

  Killua was waiting for Gon some ways down the hall, leaning against a locker and the tan male stops next to him. "So your name is Killua?"

  He gives him a curt nod. "Killua Zoldyck. And you?"

  Gon blinks at him. "Didn't you hear me introduce myself back in class?"

  Killua holds up the earbuds that were hanging around his neck. "I had these on. Sorry."

  Gon just smiled sheepishly in response. "Well, I'm Gon Freecss." He rubs the back of his head in a rather apologetic manner. "I'm sorry for troubling you.."

  "Not your fault." Killua responds with a casual shrug before turning to head down the hall. As Gon follows him, he notices some of the other students staring and whispering to each other.

"Say, Killua..? Are you popular or something?"

Killua lets out a laugh. "As if. I don't have any friends and nobody likes me. I don't care though. They're all idiots anyways."

This made Gon frown. How could anyone not like this beautiful boy? His cheeks heat up slightly as he realizes the thought that just ran through his head.

Killua notices this and quirks up his eyebrows curiously. "You okay there, Gon?"

"Y-yeah. I just can't believe nobody would like someone like you."

A pink hue would appear on Killua's pale cheeks and Gon took a moment to admire the contrast it brought to his otherwise pale features. "Wha-what are you talking about, idiot? We just met. You don't know me."

Gon ignores this. "Back in class, why did everyone say you're a freak?" He notices Killua stiffen up at this.

"Because of my family." He responds quietly, so quietly, Gon almost didn't hear him. "Don't worry so much about me. As I said, we just met."

Gon wanted to ask what his family had to do with anything, but his tone gave off that he didn't want to talk about it and Gon wasn't about to pry and earn himself on the wrong side of Killua. So he just narrows his eyes, coming up to stand in front of him, causing the pale boy to sigh in annoyance. "We're going to be late for class and it's your first day."
