I Found What I Was Missing

Chapter 71: A Part of Your Lives

A Part of Your Lives

“Gon,” Killua muttered, running his fingers through his mate's coarse hair.
Gon took a deep breath, nose buried into the silver haired males neck; he grunted in acknowledgement.
“We need to get going, I don't know about you, but I think I need to make a trip to the hospital,” Killua mentioned.

Gon sighed, pulling back to look into Killua's eyes, but instead, his gaze focused on the angry red marks on Killua's pale neck, bruises already starting to form. His wrists were bruised, too, the right one starting to swell.

The alpha forced himself to inhale shakily, gritting his teeth painfully, his hands on Killua's thighs clenched into tight fists, careful not to hurt his love any further.
Killua placed his left hand on Gon's cheek, hoping to gain his attention. “This is no one fault, you know that, right?” He asked, voice soft, just barely above a whisper.

Gon closed his eyes, taking a deep breath in as he nodded slowly. “I,I know that,”
Killua caressed his cheek, leaning in to press a loving kiss to his lips before he pulled back. “Let's go to the hospital and then we can go home, okay?”

Gon nodded again, pulling away from Killua, carefully picking the younger up into his arms and getting to his feet.
“I'm going to go look for Kacchan, Sho and Ei, do you want me to take you to the hospital?” Izuku asked, purposefully ignoring the corpse of his long-time enemy laying nearby.

Gon shook his head. “No,” he stated.
Killua sighed softly before he smiled reassuringly. “We can get there, go find your mates, Izuku,”
Izuku bit his lower lip, hesitating for a few seconds before he nodded. “Okay, I'll meet you guys there? I'll probably have to stick around and help with the clean up, there might still be some people hurt or trapped,”

Killua nodded in understanding. “Okay, just be careful,”
Izuku smiled as he nodded, turned around, waved at them over his shoulder before he ran away. Gon adjusted his grip on Killua before he slowly started to walk towards the hospital.

“Are you okay, Gon?” Killua asked softly, resting his head against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart.
“Yeah, I'm just...tired. I want to take you home,” Gon replied.
Killua smiled. “I want to go home, too,” he admitted.

Gon nuzzled Killua's hair, pressing a kiss to his head. “You can sleep if you want, Killua,” he murmured
Killua hummed. “You sure you'll be okay?” He asked, voice muffled as he nuzzled his face into Gon's neck.

“Yeah, I'll get you to the hospital as quickly as possible, then we can go home,” Gon stated.
Killua smiled, eyelids drooping as the last two days finally caught up with him. “Hmn, love you,”
Gon hummed with a soft smile. “I love you, too, Killua,”

Killua's eyes snapped open, blinking up at the unfamiliar ceiling in confusion. He tilted his head to the side, eyes instantly landing on Gon, fast asleep with his head resting on his crossed arms on the bed beside Killua's upper right arm.

He smiled softly at the sight, raising his hands to rub at his eyes, burning and itching with exhaustion. His body ached with fatigue, but it felt as though all his wounds had been healed. He could feel a bandage around his head as well as his right wrist and left thigh, but nothing hurt, so that was a relief.

Killua shifted, pulling his body to sit upright, careful not to jostle and wake his love. He stretched his arms above his head, supressing a yawn as he glanced around the room, absently wondering how long he had been asleep. It honestly felt like he had barely even been asleep for thirty minutes, what with how tired he still felt.
