Bookworm [Discontinued]

A special delivery

You awkwardly unlocked the door to your store and entered, immediately rushing to the back. Leaving Hisoka outside to wander.

He never really got the opportunity to fully explore your shop, but nows the perfect time to look around and maybe exploit some of your juicy secretsss.

His gold eyes scanned the surroundings, looking for anything he can rummage through. Then he remembered: Ah yes, the counter drawer.

He went at the back of the counter, where you usually stood whenever they come to visit.

Smiling with anticipation, he opens the drawer and finds a few books, some sticky notes and...an empty bottle of gin and a shot glass?

'Figures.' Hisoka thought to himself, for an awkward bookworm (Y/n) does tend to drink a lot.

He brought his index finger to his chin as if in deep thought, 'Didn't she mention that she has guns just a while ago? Wonder why she would need guns if she has her nen.'

He then heard the door chime open. 'Knew it, I can feel his stoic aura from miles...' He then looked over his shoulder to see Illumi with the same stony expression.

"Oh~ what are you doing here?" Hisoka asked. You immediately step out of the back, "I'm sorry but we're not open on Sunday's, I-" she began, then coming to a halt when she saw Illumi.

"Oh! Hey Illumi! What are you...doing here?" You ask him with a confused look, the expressionless man simply shrugged, "I got bored, Chrollo had to go and deal with something urgent."

You frowned a little at the fact Chrollo's not here, but at least you more time with these two.

"Okay then." You paused before holding up a book filled envelope, "I still have to deliver these to my customer, if you want to come with then be my guest." You say as you grab your phone and began striding out of your shop.

Hisoka shrugged before glancing at Illumi, "Why not? Could be interesting~"

"We would know who's the 'he' she's been talking about..." Illumi muttered, but not loud enough for the jester to hear.

"Hm? What was that?" Hisoka asked and at that an alarm set off in Illumi, without a word he stood up and rushed out of the shop. Hisoka blinked, huffed and stepped out, following the two of you.

"Oh, I see you decided to tag along." You bluntly stated as you felt the long haired man ominously trailing behind you with the clown just right beside him.

You were staring intently at the address he gave you, it was pretty far but you'll be able to get there by foot, 'His taste in books are great! Glad someone else in this world knows the masterpiece that is A Trip In The Woods! I can't wait to--'

"Say where does he live?"

"Gah--!" You yelped in surprise, Illumi suddenly went really close, peering over your shoulder and looking at the piece of paper.

"You don't need to know that Illumi." You bluntly stated as you shoved the piece of paper into your bag, you then came to halt, "Besides we're already here so there's your answer."

You say as you find yourselves in front of homey townhouse, you take the envelope out of your bag. You put on your customer friendly smile and knocked on the door.

"Wh--" "Shut up Hisoka." You say with a smile, and at that the door opened to reveal a man in his late twenties, with black hair and green eyes. "Ah! It's you (Y/n), good afternoon!" He said with a polite grin, you nodded, "Good afternoon to you as well sir."

He glanced at the two weird looking figures behind you, "And who might they be?" He asked, as Hisoka was about to open his mouth and ruin your day, you beat him to it, "They work for me." You reply with an amiable smile, Hisoka frowned a little.

"We really don't..." Hisoka muttered under his breath, then oofed as he felt Illumi sharply jab his side with his elbow.

"Apologies for their incompetence. They're new."

Now it was Illumi's turn to frown.

"Anyways!" You chirped, "Here's the book that you ordered! Great taste by the way!" She said, handing out the envelope with a wink.

'Why did she wink at him.' Illumi thought, a little confused.

"Thank you (Y/n)!" The man beamed as he took the envelope, "Say you remind me of someone..." he trailed off.

"Hm? Of who?" You asked, a little curious.

"I'm not assuming anything, but you kind of look like Glass Eye." He stated, and you froze, your smile faltering at his words.

"I...do?" You hesitantly say, Hisoka and Illumi blinked, a little suspicious of her reaction.

"Yeah!" He said, "Same (h/c) hair, same (e/c) eyes, even the tone of your voice is almost the same as her! Say could you be...?" He trailed off with a certain look.

You blink in surprise, going silent for a little, "Sorry! But I don't know what you're talking about..!" You chirped with a sheepish laugh.

Calvin stared before letting out a chuckle of his, "Sorry, must be my inner fanboy!" He said with a grin, you smile, "Must be." You add.

"Well I have to get going now! I have plans for the weekend." You say, gripping the strap of your bag, "Goodbye sir."

"Bye (Y/n)!" He called out as you three walk away, with you awkwardly scuttling in front of the two men.

"What was that about (Y/n)~?" Hisoka purred out, "Yes why did you act so weird." Illumi said monotonously.

"It's nothing! I just got distracted...besides I don't know why you're so curious." You mumbled out as you gripped the strap of your sling bag.

"Why wouldn't I be~? You seemed to be put off at the mention of this 'Glass Eye' girl that man was talking about."

"What are you hiding." Illumi bluntly said as he inched closer to your face, making you shudder at his sudden closeness.

"Illumi what the fu-I'm not hiding anything stop being so pushy about it!" You sputtered out as you backed away from him.

Illumi blinked
