One Shade of Love (KilluGon/GonKillu HxH)

It Was Only A Couple Of Minutes

KILLUA

     That taxi driver was really cocky and that alone had made my day go downhill. A gut feeling told me that witnessing Gon' reaction to the vast ocean would be priceless though. He was seriously like a little kid, he gets occupied with things so easily.

     When the taxi drove off I had an urge to flip it off, I kept my composure instead, not favoring the idea of the possiblity that Gon would get mad at me. I ran up being Gon as silently as I could managed and wrapped my hands over his eyes, blocking his vision. 

     "Aww man, Killuaaa, I wanted to just see the ocean. You're making this harder than it has to be." He whined and slumped his head down into his neck.

     "It's a surprise though. Your reaction will be great, I bet you'll trip over yourself again." I mumbled to him. 

     "If you say so..." He lifted his head back up and started walking forward.

     I steered him towards the dock, resisting the urge to let him go and watch him run into a pole. When we got most of the way down the dock I told him to sit down. I didn't want him to trip into the ocean.

     "On five, okay?"

     "Ugh, okay!" He shouted and I chuckled to myself.

     "Five... Four... Thr-" Gon cut me off by snatching my hands off his eyes.

     "What the fuck! What the hell! It's blue!" He screamed and rested his shaking hands in his lap.

     "Yeah... It's beautiful." I sat down beside the wavering Gon and looked out into the ocean horizon.

     I stared out deep into the glimmering waters, mesmerized by it's vast beauty. Seagulls flying in the background made the image even more wonderful. The salty ocean breeze whisked it's way through my short hair, yanking me back into reality. 

     I directed my attention toward Gon and shiny tears were streaming down his tan cheeks. His eyes were red, gleaming with water that threatened to burst out of the dam. Tears that had previously fallen left a lighter line of dried up salt water. His nose was tinted with a pink and red hue. 

     "How come no one ever told me the ocean was this beautiful? I lived by this my whole life, no one bothered to tell me what color it was?" He choked in between sentences, gratitude seeping through his lips for me.

     "At least you know now." My comforting voice wasn't the most comforting and I knew that, but I still attempted to calm him down even if it was pointless.

     "You're lucky." He suddenly stated.

     "What makes you say that?" Curiosity was the only thing making me talk to him. 

     "You didn't have to live without knowing what color the sky and the ocean were, lucky ass." He started laughing and then he fell onto his back, letting a rumbling sigh out. "Damn. This is overwhelming! I'm taking you to a garden or something. Ooh maybe I should take you to a chocolate shop!"

     This had caught me completely off guard. Me-- I love chocolate. Don't tell me it's not actually white. Holy shit. "Ch-chocolate's not wh-white?" I stammered, leaning closer to him, my body over his and my face right in front of his unsuspecting one.

     "Not most of it." Simply stated Gon, obviously not telling how broken and deceived I felt. 

     "But... Choco-Robo, it's white," My sniffles in between were fake but emotionally I really did feel deceived. Chocolate was my only love until I met Gon. And it deceived me!

     We stayed on the dock for what seemed like hours, but in all reality it was only a couple of minutes. After Gon had gotten his fill of the ocean, well more like me prying and forcing him away from the ocean, I begged him to take me to the chocolate shop, which seemed like a new all time low for me.

     When we got to the chocolate shop I stood there, paralyzed. I really wanted to move and pickpocket all the sweets I could but, but it was true. Chocolate really is that color. It looks creamier now and has volume to it, it's not two dimensional anymore. 

     As my mind was imploding from shock, Gon had purchased some chocolate from the cashier. He brought it back and opened it. "You can have it all, chocolate's not really my thing."

     "Huh? What? Seriously? Pff- whatever, sucks for you." I took the chocolate from his hands and bit into it. 

     It was nothing new, just some plain old chocolate. But I felt that I had unlocked Pandora's Box. All the things that I had wished and dreamed for-- knowledge, power, -well knowledge is power- everything, was in front of me. I almost felt complete.

     Chocolate's deep as shit. 

     "Thanks, Gon." I had finally let my pure feelings through.

     Gon hadn't been here for an extended period of time, but he really has pushed me through a lot. We just met yesterday, crazy right?

     "Thank you, Killua. The ocean was awesome, this is just a small payback." He waved for me to follow him so I obliged.

     We hiked through our huge city, not paying attention to other bystanders nearby. I had introduced Gon to all of my favorite shops and markets, even restaurants. His favorite one so far seemed to be this Italian restaurant that also happens to be my favorite as well.

      When we had finished our sight-seeing tour, I escorted Gon back to his dorm. 

     "See you tomorrow?" He asked, sounding like a child. I nodded.

     "I don't really have a choice, do I?" I folded my arms and he pointed finger guns in my direction.

     "Nope! So wake up early, I don't start classes until next week, so I'm free to do anything!" He beamed at me with his goofy smile.

    "Whatever," I walked away while waving and I heard the door slam shut. 

     Has he no manners? When I made it back to my lonely dorm, I let gravity help me onto my bed. I let out a scream of exhaustion and stared up at the tan ceiling that I had always thought was grey. Thoughts of earlier today flickered through my mind.

A/N: This chapter was bleh but they're all bleh so, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
