One Shade of Love (KilluGon/GonKillu HxH)

Rememberance Of The Long Gone Past

GON

     I had urged Kurapika to tell me the story of how they met Killua. He was reluctant at first but eventually told me as my spirit was hardly ever defeated.

    "When I had first met Killua he was gravely injured. His head was cracked open, his eyes were bruised black and blue. His ulna was broke, sticking out of his pale skin, he was left half dead on the side of a side street. I had often used that street to get to Leorio's house as we'd been friends a few years before our fated encounter with Killua. I was seventeen when we found Killua, Leorio was nineteen, meaning Killua was only twelve." Kurapika's sadness was undeniably making me feel sorrow for my friend and soulmate.

     "Why was he there?" I asked. Kurapika just shook his head.

    "He refuses to tell us. He won't tell us anything about his past."

    "Have you guys gotten any ideas on what had happened?" 

    "Some, but none that make any sense. Killua's been strong as fuck since the first day we met him. He was walking to his home he had told us when we found him, even in his half-dead state."

    "How old is he?"

    "He's seventeen. He's worked hard to get into this college, finishing highschool when he was sixteen with an advanced diploma."

    "Whoa," I was shocked. He hides his pain so well. I never suspected he was abandoned on the side of a street, or that he graduated at a young age. "Thanks for telling me all this. I'd like to ask more, but I want to learn it from Killua on his own accord and not behind his back." I told Kurapika.

    He smiled in response. "Thank you, Gon. Please always be loyal to him. He's a lot more fragile than you'd think."

    "Really? I'd see him as a tough person who can be empathetic. He's not weak, he just understands pain."

     Kurapika's face lit up. He looked as if he was searching for words to say but he couldn't find them. He walked up to me and brought out his hand. " A handshake?" I asked and he nodded.

    I accepted it with open gratification. When the moment between us was over I went to my room. I wanted to text Killua but I found out that I hadn't asked for his number, so I asked for it from Kurapika, which he gladly gifted to me.

    "Now leave me alone." He shooed me away and I laughed.

    "You know you like my company!" I shouted.

    He groaned before hissing at me. "Shhh. That was our seecret!"

    I laughed to myself before walking back into my room. I unlocked my phone again and went to Killua's contact, messaging it.

7:57 PM- Gon: Hey. I stole your number from Kurapika. Gotta love technology.

    I waited a response for about five minutes, eventually losing interest and going to take a shower. Once I was done taking a shower I dried my hair and got dressed again, checking my phone.

8:10 PM- Killua: Damn. Kurapika gave you my number. That asshole, always trying to ship people.

     I chuckled at his message while typing up my own response.

8:17 PM- Gon: Maybe it was fate?

8:18 PM- Killua: Yeah, okay. Let's believe that.

    I could hear his sarcastic tone from here. I knew that I enjoyed being around him, his presence was soothing for a lonely soul.

8:18 PM- Gon: We will. You ARE my soulmate y'know.

8:18 PM- Killua: Hell no! I did not want to end up with a dumbass like you, but I guess I'll deal with you a little while longer.

8:19 PM- Gon: How about forever?

     I felt heat rise to my cheeks when I typed that. I could be tell him anything like that in person, but texting it was so much different. I wanted to spend my life with him, that was true. I still can't lie, even when texting, like an idiot.

8:21 PM- Killua: Forever's a long time...

8:21 PM- Gon: I don't know what to say now. I never thought I'd get this far...

8:21 PM- Killua: Idiot.

8:22 PM- Gon: Maybe I am an idiot. You're the one stuck with me, ocean eyes.

8:22 PM- Killua: Ocean eyes?! I like that. It makes me sound hot, which we know I'm not.

8:23 PM- Gon: YOU ARE HOT! I'D BANG YOU RIGHT NOW! OH SHI-

8:24 PM- Killua: ... Please don't bang me yet. T-T

8:24 PM- Gon: Not until you beg me for it.~

8:25 PM- Killua: I don't beg for nothing, asshole.

8:25 PM- Gon: You sure about that?

    As of right now I was dying of laughter. He's entertaining to talk to. He understands me too.

8:26 PM- Killua: Keep that up and I'll knock you out.

8:27 PM- Gon: Come over here and knock me out then.

8: 28 PM-  Killua: Room 99 right?

8:28 PM-  Gon: Yep.

8:28 PM- Killua: On my way to best your ass.~ 

8:28 PM- Gon: Can't wait.

    I exited out of my messages and plugged in my phone, prancing out of the room gleefully. Killua loves meh. He's coming to visit meh. I feel happy. Pretty soon after my weird victory dance Kurapika asked why I was dancing and I told him.

    "Killua's coming to visit me!" I shouted and pumped my fists.

    "Cool beans."

    "Tch." I ran over to the door and sat in front of it, awaiting my Killua's arrival.
