I Found What I Was Missing

Chapter 45: The War, Part 1

The War, Part 1

"I'm almost too nervous to hear about this war," Ochaco spoke as she snuggled further underneath the blankets.

Killua smiled softly at her. "Well, it's certainly a lot more...dark? Terrible? Than the last one," he stated.

Gon hummed as he nodded, a thoughtful look on his face. He still had one hand on Killua's upper thigh, though the omega's lap was covered in a blanket now. Denki had made more hot chocolate a few minutes ago once Killua finished talking about the first war.

It was starting to get dark out and Inko had texted to tell them she went out for dinner with Katsuki's parents and that they should order some takeout or have Katsuki cook for them, if he felt up to it.

"Where should we start, Killua?" Gon asked, turning his head to look at his mate.

Killua hummed in thought. "Maybe the day we were told about it?" He suggested.

Gon nodded. "Okay, it's as good a place as any to start, right?" He asked.

Killua nodded before he tilted his head back to look up at the ceiling. "Izuku was about...two years old at the time when Kurapika and Leorio came to pay is a visit. They were the ones that told us about the mission, since they're both members of the Zodiacs," he explained.

Laughter sounded through the air, Killua, sitting on a blanket underneath a tree in the park, watched with a smile as Gon chased their son around in circles. Izuku's little legs ran as fast as they could carry him, giggles escaping his lips as his daddy chased after him with his large hands out, poised to grab him right out of the air and tickle him.

Gon made sure to stay a few feet behind his son, taking slightly smaller and slower steps so as not to catch up to his sweet baby quite yet. Izuku glanced behind him, a fresh bout of giggles being torn out of him as Gon lunged forward, gently grabbing his baby and lifting him up into the air.

"Daddy!" Izuku screeched as Gon tilted him onto his back in his arms, pressing his face into Izuku's little belly, he made loud, exaggerated sounds as he pretended to bite him.

Izuku squirmed wildly as he laughed, face turning red as his tiny hands took hold of his daddy's hair.

Gon eventually pulled away, a bright grin on his face as Izuku's giggles grew breathy and he yawned.

"Are you tired, little man?" Gon asked as he adjusted his hold on his baby.

Izuku nodded, one hand rubbing at his eye, the other placed on Gon's shoulder.

"Let's go back to your mommy then, you want to take a nap?" Gon questioned as he started to walk over to Killua.

"Daddy nap too?" Izuku asked softly as he placed his head on Gon's shoulder.

Gon chuckled softly. "I'll take a nap with you," he replied.

Izuku giggled as he snuggled into Gon's neck.

"I get tired just watching you two," Killua stated as Gon approached him.

Gon grinned. "That's because we're balls of energy, Killua! You just can't keep up anymore,"

Killua pouted as Gon reached forward with his free hand, gripping Killua's hand and pulling him to his feet.

The omega bent down and picked up the blanket, quickly folding it neatly and gathering the few belongings they had brought with them. Izuku was already half asleep by the time they made it back to their apartment.
