"Gon's gonna be there?" Lex questioned
"Yes" Killua retorted a bit too quickly
"As in THE Gon, the Gon who broke your heart, who hasn't even spoken to you in almost two years?!"
"Yep....that Gon"
"What? How?! Why's he gonna be there? You don't need the money that bad right? Just don't go" Lex suggested
"The thing is" Killua began "I kind of planned this whole thing, Gon doesn't know I'm gonna be there"
"Have you lost your fucking mind Killua? Nothing good can come from seeing him"
"I can't explain it but I just have to see him, you wouldn't understand" Killua spat back
"What don't I understand Killua? He's an asshole! Don't you remember all the shitty things he said and did!"
Killua's expression quickly changed from defensive to defeated, pain evident behind his eyes "Of course I remember"
_______________________________________
Killua laid in bed, bored and restless, Lex had started working at this bar and was gone most nights, he plucked his phone off his nightstand and flicked through his contacts, his thumb hovered over a certain name, he really wanted to hear his voice, but he had a feeling he was coming off a bit needy, they spoke a lot these days, and Killua didn't want to irritate him by ringing him for the third time that week, he couldn't get him off his mind though, especially now that he knew he'd be seeing him in less than two weeks, Killua had been putting off the reunion since he settled in this city, it's not that he didn't want to see him, he did, desperately, but he didn't want to lie to his face, he can manage it over the phone, but it's different in person, he's not even sure why he told him he was Beta, he wanted to confess so many times but when he called Killua one day exited and almost yelling down the phone that he'd presented Alpha, it just made Killua feel that much more smaller and he couldn't bring himself to tell the truth, but now he was going to see him in person after all these years so he had no choice but to be honest. He breathed in and hit the call button before pressing the phone to his ear
"Killua! I'm so glad you called, I was just thinking about you, I didn't think you'd be up this late, wait...why are you calling so late? Is something wrong?!"
His voice was like honey, it was deep and delicious and it did terrible things to Killua's head, but this was his best friend, he shouldn't feel like this about him, that was one confession Killua would take to his grave
"No Gon, nothings wrong, I was just bored and thought I'd call, you weren't sleeping were you?"
"Oh, good! You had me worried for a second. Nah I wasn't sleeping, I was out with some of the guys, we went to some dive of a bar but it sucked so I came home, I was just making some coffee. You must get bored a lot in that apartment, I'm glad I have a roommate, I don't think I'd like living alone"
"Huh? Oh I guess it never came up before, I don't live alone, Lex lives with me, anyway, what was up with that bar, you usually love going out"
"......Killua who's Lex?"
"Lex? Hmmm, well she's really cool, we met a while ago, she's at work right now though, you'll get to meet her when you come to visit. So, the bar? How come it sucked"
"Oh, ummm, it wasn't so much the bar it was the people, there were a couple of omegas who wouldn't leave me alone, I can handle it most of the time but I was tired tonight and just wanted to have a few beers with the guys, but they wouldn't back off and it started to piss me off so I left. So you and Lex? Are you like close?"
