Taisiya's POV

It was night time and Hisoka and I had taken refuge at a small Inn in the middle of the city.

Despite being in separate rooms, I couldn't sleep knowing that Hisoka was in the next room from me. Even though the wall I felt as if I could feel him staring at me, sending shivers through my spine.

Dragging myself to the edge of the bed, I leaned down and took my phone out of my bag, opening the contacts to a certain Silver Mama.

Little Fish
Kite-san, are you awake?

Not seeing a reply, I looked to my left and saw the dark night through the curtains of the window. Groaning in frustration, I threw my phone to the end of the bed, curling inside the blankets while fixedly staring at the wall connecting my room from Hisoka's.

Ding!

"KITE!" I accidentally squealed as I snapped my body up to get my phone, only to wrap myself in my blanket by accident.

Disregarding the blanket wrapping half of my body and preventing my left leg from straightening, I opened my phone.

Silver Mama:
Don't tell me you can't sleep again idiot

Seeing the insult at the end, I could instantly tell it was Ikki who had answered.

Silver Mama:
It's been three months Taisiya. You have to get used to sleeping near him or else you'll get uglier than you already are.

Little Fish
Is it my fault Mr Wannabe Clown sends out warning signals like a death beacon?

Little Fish
It's like he has this invisible deadly smoke that you can sense with your soul

Silver Mama:
That's probably his Nen, not a death smoke.

Silver Mama:
Stop using your phone and go to sleep

Little Fish
You ain't my dad boy

Silver Mama:
I can get someone even worst if I tell him you're not asleep at this time

Little Fish
FineI'llgotosleepdon'tcallKitebye

Silver Mama:
Don't let your insomnia get worse

Not replying any further to Ikki's messages, I once again threw the phone to the edge of the bed and threw myself onto the bedsheets. Turning to my side, I once again sensed Hisoka's stare on me and groaned, turning my body to the other side.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hisoka and I had just arrived in Urbha CIty and we were staying at the hotel Hisoka had rented for us. I stayed in while Hisoka went out doing whatever he was doing.

I laid on the bed in boredom, not knowing what to do. Eventually, I decided to open every shelf that existed in the room to find anything I could find.

There wasn't much other than pamphlets about the hotel so I went to the bathroom for another search. Going inside, there wasn't much either apart from the normal sanitary stuff such as soaps and shampoos. I leaned onto the counter and looked at the set of bottles, lining up together at the edge of the sinks.

As I scanned the labels of the bottles, a certain label caught my attention. "Hair gel," I muttered as I took the bottle into my hand.

Opening the bottle, I placed it under my nose and smelt it. "Oh wow, this actually smells nice," I said to myself, sniffing it again once in a while. After a minute, I decided to pour the liquid onto the palm of my hand.
