....(Previously)....:

"You might've thought that all the things I said and did to you was a lie," his right hand moved from my waist to cupping my face, "But I can honestly, and without fear, tell you that I... I love you, (y/n). I've loved you for a long time. You're the only girl I'll ever see myself with, the only girl I can't see another man touching, and the only girl I'll ever truly love in this entire world. So... Are you going to accept me?"

I slapped my face hard trying to make sure that this wasn't a dream. 'Was that in my head?' I slapped myself again.
Killua looked at me in confusion. "You alright (y/n)?" I snapped out of my thoughts and aimed my attention at Killua. "Uh huh! I'm totally fine!" I tried to laugh my thoughts off. 'Why do I keep picturing him confessing? I must've gone mad!' "I'm sorry, I'm a bit out of it hehe..." I smiled lightly, "Kurapika, Leorio, and Gon must be worried sick. I think we should head back." I nodded in answer then we took a stroll back to the apartment. He kept a good distance between us for the entire walk. 'Why's he avoiding me? Was it because I ran out on him?'

I sat at the edge of my bed and soaked in my day. It was already 10:07pm and I was just about finished preparing for bed. 'Should I see what's happening at home? Or should I just forget it. This Hisoka dude is definitely gonna come back and probably threaten to hurt my friends if I don't go with him soon.' I got a headache just thinking about that creep. And then my thoughts moved to Killua. It always did. 'He's probably already sleeping. Should I apologize for running out on him? I didn't mean to make him upset.' I laid back on my bed and stared at a spot on the ceiling. 'Alright! I'll apologize. Apologizing can never be wrong right?' I got up and decided to go to his room. I looked through the small crack that was left open in the room and spotted Killua sitting on the window sill looking out at the city. Everyone else were already fast asleep. I didn't wanna wake them up so I shouted in a whisper to get his attention. "Killua!" He was always sharp on the hearing side and sharply turned his head towards me. He looked so dazzling with the moonlight on his white hair and pale skin. 'I just wish I could run my hands through his hair a million times and kiss his face when I wanted to and-'
"What do you want?"

Killua was already in front of me in the doorway looking directly at me. He definitely grew. And so much too. He's a whole head above me now. 'Why am I just noticing this?' He waved his hands to my face. "Hey. You alive in there?" I mentally hit myself. 'Focus idiot!' I breathed and then pressed forward.
"Killua," I took my eyes off of his chest and looked up into his eyes, "I wanted to apologize for running away after you saved me. I just thought that you were gonna play me. And then after that I couldn't stop thinking about you and I kept thinking that I could get hurt because you might not feel the same way that I do and I like you, I really really like you but I was trying to find a way to tell you without you turning me down and-" All of a sudden I was engulfed in warmth. He was hugging me. "Rambling on like that only makes you cuter (y/n)." I heard him chuckle as my head was placed on his chest. I returned the hug and melted into his voice that felt and sounded like rumbling. I didn't want to let him go at all but I had to find his feelings out. I pulled away a little to look at him clearly. "Killua, do you like me?" After a while Killua suddenly laughed. "Killua! I'm serious!" I pouted at his reaction to my confession. "I'm sorry (y/n)," He wiped a tear that almost fell from his eyes, "Didn't you hear me confess to you earlier in the alley?" My heart stopped. "That... that was real?" Killua laughed harder, then I was back in his arms. "God you're too damn cute (y/n). I could eat you whole." The comment made me blush like crazy causing me to twiddle my thumbs again against his back. "Okay! That's it! You asked for it!" He grabbed me at my lower back and I was pressed up against his hard, solid chest. He took my lips in an instant while his hands roamed my back. He began kissing harder, more passionate and with a fire. He bit my bottom lip and pulled away for a second. "You drive me mad (y/n). Take responsibility." He kissed me with more vigor until we were gasping for air. "You've made me this... It's your fault. But I'm gonna stop here... for now." He smirked. Then he gave me a light kiss then turned to go back to his bed. I didn't want him to go, what if it's a dream, so I caught him by his sleeve before he could go into his room any further. If it is a dream I don't wanna wake up. I looked at him and it was as if he read my mind. He took hold of my hand and brought me to my room. He laid down first then patted next to him. "Come on." I nodded then slipped in next to him under the sheet. I fell asleep with a hand around my waist and his body pressed against my back. 'This warmth is something I'll never ever let go of'
