Tongue Tied {Hisoka x reader}

Chapter 6 [First Injury]

You're eyes drifted open with the sound of increasingly loud voices. You could see that there were a lot more people than you last remembered. Glancing over to your left, you could see that Hisoka was still lounging in his place against the wall. It was at that point that you could see his shirt really stained with blood. It was alarming to see that his injury was more serious than expected and yet Hisoka's demeanor was so calm and collected. It was like he hadn't noticed that he was even injured.

Speaking of injuries, the cut on your thigh made itself know with a sharp spike of pain. The adrenaline of the phase seemed to have blocked out the pain earlier but now that you had rested, it was ready to be treated. You reached behind you to get at the small bag you kept strapped on your waist. With limited supplies, all you could really do was wrap a bandage around your thigh to stop any residual bleeding and protect it from any kind of infections from here on out.

You quickly wrapped the white bandage a few times around your thigh. It was tight but luckily it didn't impede any kind of movement. With that, you stood up and subconsciously wiped off imaginary dirt from your knees.

'It's only right I offer my help to Hisoka since he got hurt and it was kinda my fault? Like, I guess it was the handcuffs fault but I could have been quicker on the draw. Eergh why am I so bad at talking to him! I've never had so much issues being around a person before. What is it about him that throws me off so much?' You rambled internally as you slowly made your way over to the man in question. A part of you body really didn't want to be anywhere near him and it was amplified with each step closer to him you got. There was something about the man that made you uneasy, he was just so... unpredictable. Volatile. Intimidating. Dangerous.

"Hey, Hisoka," you said once you had crouched down next to him.

"Hmm?"

His eyes shifted to address you and you could immediately feel shivers shoot through your body. It was terrifying and a little exciting if you were being honest with yourself. Everything about this man exuded his strength and this was the reason you had taken part in the hunter exams: to find a worthy opponent. Yet, you knew his skills surpassed your own. Even though you were the prey in this situation, it was exciting to think about bringing him to his knees somehow.

"Uh, I have some bandages. I can, if you want, wrap your cut. Uh, I mean you could just do it yourself! I just thought maybe this could make up for me being distracted a few times in that last test."

He glanced at the bandages you had in your raised hand. His perfectly manicured hand reached up and took the roll from you.

"You should be careful offering your help to your enemies like that, (Y/N)," he said with a smile and slight squint of his eyes.

"Noted."

He gave a quick nod of his head before he went about wrapping his side in the bandages you gave him. It seemed he was content with just wrapping it over the pink wraps he had on underneath the white, card suit patterned shirt.

You quickly took your leave and moved back into the spot you had previously occupied. That was more than enough tension for you today.

'God, where are my friends? I hope they had better luck than me.'

You glanced at the clock to see an hour remaining. They still had a good amount of time, they were probably fine.

The clock now read 15 minutes. You were really beginning to worry. There was less and less people appearing through the doors. It seemed like everyone who was going to be passing this phase was done by now. You couldn't take your eyes off the door.
