*Next day— @Evening*

Killua's P.O.V
"What's up?" I grinned to myself as Gon and I had video call. We usually communicate once in a while. Once a week— Whenever we have the time.

"Killua! How are you?" His voice and expression were always care-free like a sign of reassurance.

He never changed..

"I'm fine... How 'bout you and your family?" I smiled, sitting beside the window.

"Great!" He grinned.

I really miss his presence a lot. Adventures by myself wasn't as fun as when I'm with him.

"Killua... I miss you."

"Pft.." I lowered the camera from my face. He really.... never changed.

"Oh? Are you gonna cry now?" He teased.

"Idiot." I brought my phone up in a perfect angle, showing my smug smirk as I watch him making silly faces..

"By the way..... How's Yukarin? It's kinda surprising for you to not chatter about her... Even though the first thing you'd always bring up is about bragging your girlfriend every time we talked." He elicited a small chuckle.

I looked away. "We had a little fight but we're doing fine now."

"You guys better not break up."

"Yeah... Why don't you personally give us your blessing?" I tried to bring up that particular topic he keeps dodging since then, glancing back to the screen.

His face looked conflicted for a sec. but then casually smiled back. "Yeah. Just give me a little more time." As a real man, I felt his sincere and resolved expression— We gotta respect our prides as males so I choose to trust and heed his excuses.

"Gotcha. Just tell if you're dying to see me. I'll immediately get there and gladly greet you with a punch."

"Sure. If you accept my fiery fist as well!"

We laughed.

We've gotten real busy doing our own businesses.. We both know that fact yet we still avoided to mention complete details, preferring to have shallow conversations.

No matter what kind of trials he has right now, I'm sure he'll be okay— and I know he may also think the same way for me. That's just how our bond works with mutual trust.

"It's getting a lot colder day by day.." He mumbles, staring out his window.

"It is.."

"Maybe because Holiday's nearing."

"Getting excited for that... Are you a kid?" I scoffed.

"Merry Christmas, Killua!" He presented a goofy peace sign.

He's not listening..

The smile made its way to my lips once again as I replied shortly. "You too, Gon."

"Ah! I said it wrong. Let's do it again... *Ahem!* Advance Merry Christmas, Killua!"

I face-palmed.

"Idiot."

"Alluka's there right?"

"Yeah. She's asleep with the girls.... Anyways, isn't my sister chatting you too much?" I suspiciously raised a brow. "I would like to ask if you're trying to make a move but unexpectedly, that question's for Alluka. I didn't expect she'll get attached to you. Maybe she's even contacting you a lot more than me."

He chuckled amusingly. "Don't worry, brother. It's not like that." Gon jokes.

"...I'm not really against— Brother?! Are you implying you'll be my future brother-in-law?!"

"Um... I actually have a girlfriend.. Just recently." He suddenly confessed a very surprising revelation I never saw coming.

"What?! Awesome! I wanna see her. Is she pretty?? Nice and all?"

"Yep. Tin's too precious that I'm afraid to show her off to everyone..." He blushes.

"Psh... So now you're tryna brag her out too?? Such a cute boyfriend you are, Gon." I teasingly smirked. "Now I'm super curious about her. Send me a photo of both of you next time. Yuka and I will do the same."

"I'm in!" He pumps a fist, accidentally dropping his device as his video turned black.

. . . .

"AAAHH!" He shouts in terror, facing his gadget towards him. "Thank goodness... It's alive." He sighs in relief.

"Idiot."

*Time-skips*

The call ended after a few hours and I haven't told him about the anonymous girl residing with us.

I was about to head back in my bedroom, ready to cuddle with Yukarin but the other room those two girls were occupying had their door wide open so I went to close it, but if I'm gonna get there then I might as well check them inside.

...

They're not even tucked properly. I walked normally with my silent footsteps.

I pulled up the sheets, covering them nicely.

"Ki..llua.."

My hand flinched and stopped in midway from bundling Yuu.

Did I heard her right?

I brushed it off, releasing the covers.

I'll pretend I didn't heard that..

I glanced at Alluka, she was facing the other way. Tightly asleep.

"....Killua."

She calls longingly, murmuring my name in her sleep for the second time..

I stared at her in disbelief. I was confused.

.....

Strangely, I felt like crying.

I knelt beside Yuu and leaned closer... I was inexplicably drawn to this woman as my hand initiatively moved to caress her cheek.

Should I take off her mask?

"Ki..llua... don't.. go."

Unfamiliar instinct urged my body.

It was too late to control myself when our lips touched indirectly over her mask.

......

*crrk*

The small creak of the floor instantly made my head turn back in huge shock.

Yukarin was there....

"W-wait.." I found myself voiceless as she immediately rushed out of my place.

It's like the whole world fell upon me.

....

What did I just do?
