Don't Let Me Go

Feelings

~~~~~~~~ 7 YEARS LATER ~~~~~~~~~

"And that's how we met!" Gon explained.

His friends Kurapika and Leorio had asked him how he and Killua were so close, so logically Gon decided to give them the whole story in detail.

Gon looked over at where Killua was sitting.

He was asleep.

Why does Gon have to tell such long stories? Killua had wondered before falling asleep.

Gon pouted. "Kil! Wake up!" He yelled in Killua's ear.

"AAAGGGHHHFFFKKKGGGGDDD!!!" Killua yelled. "GON! WHAT THE HECK!"

But none of this got to Gon, as he was laying on the floor, laughing his butt off.

Killua glared at him. "Goooonnn," He sung dangerously.

Gon looked at Killua. "Oops..." He mumbled nervously. He'd forgotten that Killua wakes up in a salty mood if he's woken up. Luckily, Gon always remembers to pack something just in case.

Gon slowly reached into his backpack, pulled out a small bag of chocorobos, and threw them at Killua, who immediately caught and opened it.

"Thanks," Killua mumbled. The second he saw the chocolate, he forgave Gon for waking him up.

He had been living with Gon and Mito for seven years now, and every day was like a totally awesome sleepover.

But recently, he'd started to feel a bit... different towards Gon.

A little more clingy...

A little more sensitive...

And a little more... protective towards his friend.

He wonders what this feeling was...

Welp, he would just ask Mito when they got home.

Gon and Killua were freshmen at Whale Island Fortune Institute, or WIFI for short.

Kurapika and Leorio were transfers from the Yorknew Mixed Cities Academy, or the YMCA for short. They were both seniors, but they didn't mind the two boys' company. Both rather enjoyed it, actually.

Their teacher, Wing-sensei, had decided to give them the whole class off, since it was a half-day, so Gon, Killua, Leorio, and Kurapika got in a group and chatted for the whole class.

*BRRRIIIINNNGGGGG*

The school bell rang, signaling the end of the day.

"YAY! Killua let's go!" Gon shouted, talking Killua's hand and running home.

Killua blushed furiously at his hand in Gon's. Killua's cold hands could feel Gon's warmth. His whole body was warming up at Gon's touch. He couldn't take it! What is this!

Inside Gon's head, was him mentally congratulating himself. He couldn't believe that he actually did that! He could feel Killua's cold hands inside of his own warm ones. Fireworks were going off inside Gon's brain.

Gon had already confirmed it with Mito a few weeks ago. He was in love with Killua.

Mito hadn't seemed to mind that her nephew liked guys. She actually seemed pretty excited and happy, saying she thought he and Killua would look cute together.

But Gon still couldn't confess to Killua. He didn't want to ruin what they already had! Plus he wouldn't be able to look Killua in the eye if he got rejected. They already live together, for crying out loud!

They finally made it to the house. "Mito-san, we're home!" They both shouted.

"Welcome back, boys!" Mito shouted. "Gon, you still need to clean your room. So do not come down until it is clean." She ordered.

"Oh, COME ON!" Gon wined, then trudged up to his room. How in the world does Killua keep his room so clean!

Killua couldn't help but snicker as he watched Gon walk away.

"How was your day, Killua?" Mito asked.

Then Killua remembered what he wanted to talk to Mito about. "It was pretty good. But I've been feeling a bit weird lately." He replied.

"Hmm?" She hummed. "Are you feeling sick?" She asked, concerned.

"No, not sick..." He said hesitantly. Killua explained to Mito how he's been feeling towards Gon. "Do you know what it is?" He finished.

"Killua," Mito started. "Do you, perhaps, love Gon?"

Killua thought for a moment. "Y-yeah, I think so... What should I do?"

"You should tell him! Tell Gon that you love him!" Mito said.

"But, what if he rejects me?!" Killua asked.

Mito smiled softly. "I can guarantee you 100% that he will not reject you."

Killua looked at her curiously. "How do you know that?" He asked.

"Just trust me." She left to go to the kitchen.

Killua shrugged. It was worth a shot. But if Gon rejected him... No. He couldn't think like that. He had to trust Mito. Killua went into his own room. Mito had it constructed once it was official that Killua would stay.

He laid on his bed. The fluffy, dark blue fabric felt great on his face.

A head poked into his room.

"Hey Kil!" Gon said.

"Oi, aren't you supposed to be cleaning your room?" Killua asked, sitting up.

"Yeah. I just finished."

Killua decided that it was time to tell him. He patted the space on the bed next to him. Gon jumped onto the place where Killua was patting.

"Gon..." Killua started. "I have something to t-tell y-you," Killua stuttered.
