I Found What I Was Missing

Chapter 90: Big Family Events

Big Family Events

Christmas was a bit of a nightmare—nice—but disastrous all the same. Well, sort of, at least. It started odd with everyone waking up two hours before guests were meant to start showing up, muscles stiff and sore from the strange positions they were in the duration of the night before. With aching necks, they all sort of rushed around the house to start cooking and actually getting ready for the day. A lot of mixed and awkward showers and baths were taken.

Since so few of them could actually cook, the ones that could rushed and bustled about the kitchen as if the house was on fire, but they also really needed to get this meal done before it all went up in smoke and flames. Gon, Alluka, Hitoshi and Dabi were luckily able to help at least somewhat, while the rest of the non-cookers finished some last-minute decorating. Amidst this chaos, a few glasses were broken, two plates and one bowl dropped and shattered to pieces, but despite all the noise, Killua passed out, curled up, fast asleep on the sofa.

Denki had pouted in slight dismay but had let the elder omega be. Killua needed his rest. The cooking was just barely done before the first guests showed up and Katsuki had to endure his mother’s rough greeting as she grabbed him and wildly ruffled his hair. Presents were stuffed under the tree as Gon gently roused his love from his peaceful sleep, smiling at the endearing sight of Killua’s wild hair, cheeks flushed from sleep as he blinked in confusion. It was so cute, Gon couldn’t resist gently squeezing him in a bear hug.

Mitsuki had enveloped Killua in a careful hug once his love released him, cooing at the sleepy omega as she gently rubbed his swollen stomach. Gon chuckled as he watched his love try attempt to wake up fully whilst responding to the blond alpha woman.

“Old hag, can’t you see you’re fucking overwhelming the guy?!” Katsuki questioned as he physically pulled his mother away from his mates’ mother.
“Brat! I was just asking some questions, nothing too hard!” Mitsuki protested as she was led away.

Izuku opened the door to greet All Might, beaming brightly at the retired hero, Aizawa and Eri. He walked them into the house, Aizawa sighing at the sight of Mitsuki roughly slapping her son on the back as Katsuki choked on something, Eijirou fluttering around nervously nearby. Izuku excepted the gifts from both elder men, beaming as he moved to place them under the tree with Eri’s help.

Inko moved to greet them, introducing both Alluka and Mito to the them, Dabi awkwardly hovering nearby. Killua watched his new pup with a frown for a few minutes before it dawned on him. He might not have his scars anymore, but he might still be recognised by the two heroes, especially Aizawa, whom Dabi had fought with a few times.

Then Killua had a minor panic attack as he realised that the Todoroki’s were all invited, and he wasn’t sure if Endeavor would show up again or not. Oh god, awkward reunion on top of awkward first-time meetings/first time really talking with new acquaintances. God, how awkward was this going to be?

It proved to be extremely awkward once more guests showed up, and his sort of posh family finally met the wild Bakugo family as well as being stuck in an enclosed space with Knuckle—whom was equally as loud and exuberant as Katsuki and his mother—Shoot, whom was far too shy to hold decent eye contact, Morel—again, very loud and exuberant—Wing with his weird, all knowing smile as well as, Zushi, whom was also acting very awkward and out of place.

Knov and Bisky seemed capable of holding conversation with his parents, so they seemed good enough a distraction while Killua moved to hide away in the kitchen and nervously munch on some cookies, just to escape Illumi and Hisoka’s weird, hungry gazes. Why does Hisoka keep showing up at big family events anyway? Did he consider himself part of this family in some weird, Hisoka-ey way? Killua shudders, was Hisoka dating his brother?
