A Battlefield Bond

Chapter 16: Plane ride

Quietly, Killua pulled Gon along the side of the building. He was trying to avoid being caught, but once they entered the air base, Killua stopped being secretive.

"Why are you acting so casual now? Aren't there guards patrolling?" Gon whispered, still moving hesitantly.

Scratching his head, Killua seemed to be in thought. "I mean since we're in the desert, guards didn't seem necessary; although they probably should've had some incase kids like us happened to stroll in here, right?"

At first both boys remained silent, but soon burst into laughter as they ran to the first jet they saw.

Killua hopped in first, reaching his hand down to help Gon in as well. "So.....you actually know how to fly this thing?" Gon questioned.

"I can do a lot of things; you'd be surprised." Smirking with pride, Killua strapped himself in the front seat. "You might wanna get buckled in by the way, so you don't get thrown around.

"Right!" Settling into his chair, Gon buckled himself in the back seat, a wave of thrill washing over him.

Killua diligently pushed buttons and flipped switches, in which Gon observed. He looked over the controls carefully, remembering what the buttons and switches did.

"Oi Gon! Sit back would ya?!" Killua said. Gon noticed now that he was basically pulling against the seatbelt, hovering over Killua's seat.

Sitting back down in his own seat and tightening his seatbelt again, Gon was jumping in excitement, and they haven't even left the ground yet.

Finally the plane started to move down the runway, getting faster and faster by the second. Soon the wheels of the plane lifted and they were off.

Killua was worried that someone might've heard the plane take off, but he wanted to do something nice for Gon, as a thanks.

Since they didn't go too far up in the sky with the plane, they didn't have to wear any oxygen masks and were able to move more freely.

Gon pressed his face against the window of the plane, amazed by the beautiful night atmosphere.

As they were now steadily flying over Yorknew City, Killua unbuckled himself and set the plane on autopilot. He climbed into the backseat with Gon to look at the city with him.

Gon looked over at his white haired friend, who was looking out the jet window with a calm smile settled on his face.

He was truly the epitome of beauty, his skin glistening even in the dark. That's when Gon realized that it was entirely night now.

"Killua don't we have to head back before someone realizes that we're missing?" Gon asked, not wanting to stop their flight just yet.

Sighing, Killua made his way back to the front of the plane and buckled himself in. "Yeah you're right.....I just didn't want to go back yet."

Turning off auto pilot, Killua steered sharply to the right to turn the jet around, back in the direction of the base.

Gon had forgotten to buckle himself back in his seat, and rammed into the side of the jet. "DAMNIT!" He yelled, gripping his arm.

Now that they were flying in a straight direction, Killua looked over his shoulder at his friend. "Yo, you alright Gon? I probably should've checked if you were buckled in before taking control again, sorry." Killua apologized, feeling slightly guilty.

The feeling started to come back to the tan boys arm and he shook his head, smiling. "It's alright! I think I'll live." He then buckled himself, not wanting to ram another body part into the side of the jet.

With the base in view, Killua started descending behind a mountain a ways away from the base. "Before you ask, I'm landing the plane over here just incase someone noticed the missing jet; I don't want us getting in trouble." Killua explained, the plane now landing on the ground and coming to a stop.

Gon nodded in understanding, waiting for the hood of the jet to open, then jumping out onto the sand below.

Killua stood up and was about to jump out as well, but tripped on the side of the plane.

He fell on top of Gon who was below him, both of them crashing into the sand. Gon had fallen flat on his back with Killua on top of him. They were both blushing messes, staring at each other in the dark.

That's when something came over Killua, seeing Gon's flustered face even in the dark; he leaned down, pressing his lips onto Gon's.

At first Gon was surprised by the sudden action his friend made, but soon melted into the kiss, kissing back with passion and fever. He trailed his hands to Killua's hips and rested them there, while Killua had his hands placed on Gon's chest, tugging at his shirt.

The cerulean eyed male allowed Gon entrance into his mouth, their tongues now fighting for dominance, Gon overpowering Killua to which made the thinner boy pull away from the kiss in a pout.

Gon chuckled and stroked Killua's cheek lovingly. "Hey Killua......what are we now?" He asked softly.

Finished with his pouting, Killua faced Gon with a soft smile. "Definitely more than just best friends."
