You're Just A Kid

How Can You Be Sure?

"Well? What was so private that you couldn't say in front of Gon?" Leorio asked, as he looked at the younger boy who stood just a meter away. There was silence for a minute, before Leorio broke it again. "Hey, If you have nothing to say I'm going back inside." He turned to walk away, but stopped when Killua opened his mouth. "C-Can you just give me minute! It's not easy to say..."

Leorio sighed as he stared at Killua, eagerly waiting for an explanation. The boy seemed very nervous, he was fidgety, scared almost.

Leorio decided to pry again. "Ki-" But this time, he was interrupted. "I'm in l-love with you." Killua's expression was determined. The dark haired man was absolutely shocked. "WHAT."

"You have ears, use them." Killua retorted. "Is this a joke?! Did you and Gon set this up?!" Leorio raised his voice, before laughing awkwardly. "Oh I see! It's a joke! You got me for a second there." He continued to laugh in an awkward manner, but his words irritated the younger boy. "No!" Killua shouted.

Leorio froze, he looked at the younger boy in shock. Killua's cheeks were red, but he still looked determined.

"A-Are you serious?" Leorio asked softly, still staring at Killua. The white haired boy nodded. "How can you be sure?" "D-Don't make me explain! I know for sure how I feel." Killua didn't show any signs of backing down now. Leorio's expression changed, as he stated rather bluntly "I'm into chicks."

"Idiot! I know that!" Killua shouted and caused Leorio to flinch. "You're a guy, and besides, You're just a kid." Those words stung him. 'Just a kid.'

Leorio stuck his hands in his pockets and sighed. "You're probably just getting this 'Love' confused with some kind of admiration, or Maybe you're thinking about me in a father-figure way." "No way, I d-don't wanna k-k-kiss my father!" Killua yelled. Leorio's jaw dropped, but he quickly maintained his composure and countered. "Haha! It's your first silly childhood crush! You'll get over it in a week or two, don't worry." Leorio tried to laugh to cover the awkwardness that lingered in the air. "I want to b-" Before Killua could finish, Leorio softly patted the younger boy's head.

Killua's face turned red as he froze. "Don't say something you're going to regret." Leorio spoke softly as Killua's eyes widened. The older man slowly walked back inside, leaving Killua standing outside the hotel, alone.

The sensation of Leorio's gentle hand still lingered on Killua's head, his heart was racing as he tried to register the final moments of his conversation with Leorio.

Did he just get rejected?
