Hunter Universe (hunterxhunter)

Chapter 9

You saw Killua standing, leaning on a tree and smirking at you. It was breaking dawn and the first rays of sunshine illuminated the boy's hair softly, which almost looked like he was glowing. Your heart might've stopped beating, and you put your hand to your chest just to check. Nope, still alive. Then he slowly started walking to you and you just stood there awkwardly, waiting for him. You remembered the note he left you and you felt a tingling sensation in your stomach.

*flashback*

During dinner you kept glancing at Killua. You thought that he was acting a little weird. He was mumbling to himself a bit, was less talkative than usual, and occasionally, he would look at you. For some reason this worried you. Deep in your head you had some theories and guesses on why he was so restless, and those guesses made your heart flutter. There was a 'what if?' thought that you was were cautious of. You would be super happy if your thoughts would be true, but you had to contain yourself from these thoughts, as unnecessary heartbreaks based off of delusions are a hard things to deal with.

After dinner Killua would stare at you more often when eventually, as you walked to the hotel, he walked past you while bumping into your shoulder. 'Well, that was weird. How am I supposed to interpret this?' You were thinking whether you made him mad somehow or if he has taken notice of you. You went into the room you were sharing with Alluka and started changing. When you were taking off your hoodie, a note fell out. Of course, you instantly picked it up and read it. An unconscious smile crept on your face and your heartbeat increased. The note read -

"Meet me tomorrow morning at 5:00 in the park outside the hotel. Come alone, I don't want anyone to hear about this. -Killua"

You felt extremely happy and squealed in excitement. New, wonderful thoughts filled your head as you imagined all sorts of scenarios in your head. Was it wrong to feel this happy? Maybe, just maybe it was ok to have some hope?

*end of flashback*

The anticipation was killing you. It was as if he was walking towards you in slow motion. Then he was finally standing in front of you.
"So, what was it that you wanted to talk about?" You felt nervous talking to him suddenly, which was weird as you were bickering just fine that day.
"That's right. So, don't tell absolutely anyone what I'm about to tell you," he went from carefree to serious in one second. You were almost hyperventilating from the nervousness. This conversation was certainly not good for your heart.

"Out of everyone I met I trust you the most." He looked straight in your eyes. "Will you help me pick out a present for Alluka?"

"Huh?"

Sorry this chapter is a bit shorter as I am ending it with a cliffhanger😅 please don't hate me! Also it's hard to think of a story without cliches and copying other people's ideas.
