All's Fair In Love and Roommates

Chapter Six

Killua Pov

"What?" I said, turning to fully face Gon.

"I invited you to come to a party. Well, technically, the whole floor is invited, but, I want you to come so you can meet my friends," Gon said before leaning onto the counter, flashing one of those bright smiles at me. I couldn't help but wonder how I didn't see girls crawling all over him, especially when he smiled like that.

Fidgeting, I shook my head. "Sorry, I don't think it'd be a good idea if I went."

"Why, do you have classes tomorrow?" Gon asked, rounding the counter to reclaim his seat.

I just shot him a short glare before rolling my eyes. "Everyone has classes tomorrow, and that is a reason. The other is I'm not a party person."

"Have you ever been to a party?"

I opened my mouth to say something but shut it and stared at the wall in opposite direction of GOn, before mumbling, "No."

"What did you say?" I could hear a slightly cheeky tone in GOn's voice and I could feel my face start to heat up.

I slowly turned and glared at Gon. "I said 'no'." My voice came out with less bite then I would've liked.

The look Gon gave me made my face heat up a little more. It was a sympathetic look along with so much caring, something I didn't know people could feel especially towards someone they just met. "Well, then, this can be your first party."

I studied his face. The only thing I could see was determination and I knew that this would be a fruitless battle, so to speak. We'd continue to go back and forth and I could see myself giving in in the end. Do I really want to put in that sort of effort?

Exasperated, I gave him one more look. "I'll go-"

Gon let out something between a 'whoop' and a 'yes', no proper way to describe it, interrupting me.

"BUT," emphasizing the word to make sure Gon heard me, which he did, "if I want to go, then I'll go."

He was vibrating in his seat, beaming like a child out trick-or-treating. "I'm sure you'll have fun. Kurapika and Leorio will be there."

I couldn't help but laugh at that. I could tell that they judged me, in some way at least. Kurapika not as much, but Leorio kept giving off the 'I-don't-like-you' vibe. Nodding my head a little bit, I stood up and stretched, heading towards the couches.

Grabbing the remote I started to flip through the channels. "Sure sure. Anyways, what time do you plan on heading over?"

"Well, I was going to go over in thirty minutes, so..."

Groaning, I sat up and made my way over to my room. "Give me a bit then."

"What are you doing?" Gon asked, raising an eyebrow in question.

"Changing," I answered, my voice ringing with an obvious tone.

He just continued to stare at me, "But, what you're wearing is fine."

I looked down at my black tee-shirt, sweatpant combo then looked back up at him. "It's not, I'm wearing sweatpants. I'm not going to a sleepover, this is a university party. There's no way I'm going to let this pants get dirty either." He only nodded, before I entered my room and went to my dresser, pulling out a pair of black jeans and a dark blue and white striped long sleeve. Nothing much, not something I'd miss if it gots dirty but better than sweats.

I looked down and noticed that my hands were shaking, I hadn't noticed it before, but suddenly a sinking feeling came over me. Breathing through my nose, I stared at my wall. I shouldn't be this worried. It's not like anything's going to happen. And if something does, it won't matter. I don't know anyone, anyways.
