Falling For You

Gon and Killua's Plan

  "So what's the plan then?" Killua asked, leaning back onto Gon's bed.

  Gon is sitting backwards on his computer chair, chin resting on the back of it. "I honestly have no idea." He sighs.

  "Hm. I think I got one. You might not like it though."

  "Tell me." Gon sits up straight and looks over at Killua, determination in his brown eyes.

  Killua sits up and sets his mouth in a straight line. "I heard another party is being held next month...you have to pretend to change your mind and act like you take Retz's side. Get her and the others to trust you. Get invited to the party, convince them to invite me in order to humiliate me. Then when I get there, we humiliate her and give her what she deserves."

  Gon knots his brows together. "But then that will mean..."

  "That you'll have to ignore me in school for a month, yeah."

  "But I can't do that, Killua! You're my best friend now!"

  "I know, idiot..." He sighs. "We'll still hang out outside of school, here at your house, without them knowing. But at school, you have to ignore me. Taunt me at times. Don't worry...I know you won't mean it."

  Gon looked like he was about to protest, but he decides against it. Killua's plan was a good one...it would just be hard for him to play it out.

  "Alright...let's do it."

  Killua nodded curtly. "Tomorrow it begins."

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

  Gon arrives at school the next day, alone, and spots Retz by the front steps as usual, with her group.

  "Where's your boyfriend, Gon?" She calls out in a snarky tone, twirling a disgusting blonde curl around a finger.

  He takes a deep breathe and approaches her, swallowing his anger and pride. "You were right." He mumbles, looking at the ground.

  She freezes, staring at him with wide, but shining eyes. "Sorry, I didn't catch that."

  He resists the urge to hiss and spit at her and lifts his head to look at her with narrowed brown eyes. "I said, you were right. About Killua. "

  A disgusting smirk crosses her pale features and she crosses her arms. "I knew you would come to your senses, Gon. But I won't trust you just yet."

  The bell rings then and she picks up her bag and holds it out to him. "Walk me to class?" A sweet, disgusting smile replaces her smirk.

  Everything she does is just disgusting. Gon thought, but he has to swallow his disgust, and took her bag with a small nod. "Sure thing." He mutters, while cursing her out in his mind.

  As they walk down the hall, he spots Killua at his locker and his heart sinks to his stomach when Retz calls out a taunt towards the pale male.

  "Hey, fag boy! Looks like your boyfriend came to his senses!" She jerks a thumb towards Gon, who was walking behind her, her bag in his arms. This was torture.

  Killua stares at Gon, a hurt expression in his blue eyes and though he knew it was all an act, it still made Gon's stomach twist painfully.

  Gon averts his gaze, though he was well aware of Retz watching him so he turns back towards Killua, a look of hatred filling his normally bright caramel brown eyes.

  Pleased with this response, Retz waves at Killua with a grin before turning back and heading into homeroom. "Too bad you have to sit in front of him still. Though he'll be an easy target for you, so I guess it's still a plus."

  He laughed, though it sounded hollow and not genuine, but she believed it anyways. "Right? It'll be fun!" Yeah, right. Cause torturing my best friend is considered fun to these people. Gon didn't know how much longer he could do this without hurling. Or pulling Retz's long, blonde curls right out of her head.

  Once they got to homeroom, Gon sits at his desk and is aware of Killua sitting behind him. It was painful not being able to talk to him like they usually did before class. Though in the middle of a lecture, he felt something poking into his back and realized it was Killua trying to pass him a note without anyone noticing. Very slowly and cautiously, he reaches back and took it, opening it beneath his desk, his backpack blocking the paper from view.

  Meet me at lunch at the bleachers on the football field. Make sure you're not followed.

  Gon inhales a sharp breathe. The not being followed bit would be difficult for he was sure Retz would want to know where he was going, seeing as she didn't trust him yet, but he knew Killua wouldn't risk asking him to meet up unless it wasn't important.

  So he quickly scribbles a response onto it and passes it back in the same manner.

  His response was:

  Okay, I'll be there. So wait for me.
