Fem Gon x Killua

CHAPTER 5

THANKS FOR WAITING! THE TIME HAS ARRIVEDDDD!

"Again?" I say.

"In middle school... well... I used to look pretty lame, so I was often picked on, but Killua would usually stick up for me like I was his little sister, and eventually girls who liked Killua would grow to resent me. Even when they all left, Killua stayed. Everyone turned on me and they picked on me because of my lame personality and looks, so I changed to how I am now. You thought I was pretty when you first say me, too, right?"

I nod guiltily, "Sorry..."

"Don't feel bad for that! Why would I be mad at a complement? Anyway, I just found it annoying how you could talk to him fine, like you're oblivious to all the glares you're getting and.... I just didn't think it was fair...... I mean.... Killua used to be my best and only friend, so maybe it wasn't mutual and I couldn't even have that. I tried getting his attention by making myself prettier, but we eventually drifted apart no matter how cute I acted...! It's just.... so frUSTRATING...!"

I can see tears starting to well up as she punches the wall again.

I can't help myself, so I try to console her by petting her head. What else can I do? I feel like she needs it.

"......what are you doing?"

"Consoling you. Is it working?"

".....yeah, a little."

"That's a relief!" I say smiling.

"Thank you...." she mumbles, looking down and fidgeting with her dress.

I smile brightly and pat her back.

"Don't worry about it!" I say, "It's your birthday, so you should cheer up! Don't you wanna hear Killua sing?"

Retz looks up at me and smiles sincerely.

I look at her in slight shock. Wow it's so much nicer than her other ones!

"You have a really nice smile!" I say while grinning.

"W-WHA?- WHAT DO YOU?- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ALL OF A SUDDEN? I swear, you're such a weirdo..!" She laughs a bit.

I laugh back.

"Oh! By the way, please don't tell Killua about this!" Retz pleads.

"Hmmmmm..." I pretend to be considering, "I don't knowwwww......."

"W-WHAT? BUT I'LL DO ANYTHING!"

"Anything?"

"SURE, FINE!"

"Okay! Then, be my friend, please!"

"Really? You're okay with that? I thought it'd be something else. I hate to admit it, but you're a really nice person. Too nice. You'll be in trouble once you get older. Well, okay! Deal."

I smile at Retz and say, "Alright! Let's go then!"

Hurray! I'm so excited! I've never made friends with any girls for some reason! I mean, we get along and all, but for the first time, I think I've made some real friends! I'm gonna tell aunt Mito when I get home!

We walk back in and a girl with long blue hair looks toward us.

The girl in question smiles while Retz looks at her confused before seemingly remembering something. She motions for me to follow her out again, but before I follow I glance toward Killua to see if he's doing okay. Okay, I think he's. I relax a bit and follow her out once more. I follow her to the vending machine again and she checks to make sure no ones around, then motions for me to listen.
