Whole - HunterxHunter - (KilluaxReader)

Chapter 7- Not x Breaking x A Sweat

A/N: Killua time!! Also I'd like to guve some reassurance to you guys and tell you this isn't one of those fanfics where you stay platonic with the character until the end of the 32 chapter story, I hate when authors do that lol. Enjoy!

Killua and I have been talking about random things for the past 15 minutes after the first wave of awkwardness passed but for some reason I second guessed everything I said, feeling somewhat nervous but at the same time it he was borderline effortless to speak to, like Kurapika although he seems very different to him at this point. It was safe to say I was drawn to him for some reason and wanted to get to know him more.

"Yeah.. I'm just here for fun," He chuckles out. I was so focused on why I was talking to him I forgot I was talking to him.

"Me and my little brother are here because our father is also a hunter. We want to find him, more so my brother than me but I want to protect him, y'know?" I told him.

"Do you think he needs protection? How old is he anyway?" Killua questioned for details.

"He's 12 and I don't think he needs it, he's strong and has so much potential to become even more but I vowed to myself that I would."

"Why protect him when he doesn't need it?" He asks. We're very different people I see.

Before I could answer his next question Gon runs up to me.

"Leorio and Kurapika startes arguing again," He notifies.

"Let them be," I advise and Gon responds with a nod.

"Is this your brother?" Killua asks looking between me and Gon, we both nod and mumble yeah's. "You two look nothing alike."

"We know," We both say with sigh.

"Well I'm Gon, nice to meet you!" Gon flips the switch quickly, which seems to throw Killua off guard with his sudden kindness.

They started chatting between themselves, I smile to myself seeing Gon hit it off with someone. Since Gon and I are so much alike he was practically having the same conversation that I had with Killua so I turned and began to walk away to see if I can break up whatever argument Kurapika and Leorio were having.

"Wait!" Killua yelled getting my attention, I looked back at him in response. "I uh.. I enjoyed talking to you."

I smile at the boy's awkwardly sincere comment, "I enjoyed talking to you, too."

Timeskip brought to you by me not knowing how to write some of these POVs

After 30 minutes of waiting mixed between talking to Kurapika, Killua and Gon (Separately) a man yelled, grabbing all of our attention.

"EXCUSE ME! I'm Satotz and I'll be kicking off the exam!" He started off loud to get our attention but his voice quickly died down. "Follow me."

A mechanical wall slowly rose up and Satotz started walking. This is an endurance test most likely, this hallway doesn't end for miles. Due to such facts I take the time now to stretch since I might not get the chance to do so later. I stuff my hands into the pockets of my cloak and start listing off all the things I wish I had brought.

Earbuds or headphones with a pairing mp3, a phone or gameboy, a water bottle, food/snacks...

Killua rides up beside me and I add a skateboard to the list.

"You look jealous," He comments with a smirk.

"Mhm," I simply put, smiling to myself.

"Do you want it?" He questions and I glance up at him, the small conversation we've had leads me to believe that he wouldn't be the one to easily give something away that gives him an advantage.

Killua's PoV

Why did I just offer her my skateboard? The offer had slipped out of my mouth but thinking about it, if she said yes I would gladly hand it over to her and its safe to say thats... Unlike me.

Her E/C eyes bear into mine before looking down, from the limited conversations we've had does she already know that its unlike me hand it over? She's so intriguing and so is her brother although they're completely different. I've never met someone who's even close to being like me like Y/N is and I've never met anyone so inspiring like Gon. I'm going to try to keep up with them during the exam.

'No...' Illumi's voice echoes through my head. 'An assassin doesn't have friends'

Timeskip, Your PoV

We've been running for a while now, Satotz had so subtly picked up the pace that we were in a full sprint now, I still kept my cool though, unlike Leorio who has fallen and debated dropping out of the exam multiple times, me and Gon having to pick him up and carry him a few meters to keep him on his feet. As expected Kurapika already has his pin exposed. Killua had to stop using his skateboard after running into stairs, deciding to not use it afterwards. Everythings going smoothly although I'm a littke bored of just running. I can't wait to separate fron everyone and be able to release my Nen, its been so long and I don't want to get rusty.

"So I saw you dumped a can of juice on some guys head," Killua said, surprisingly still being able to talk at the full sprint we're going at.

"It was spiked with laxatives, although I could have drank it without being affected he deserved it, having tried to poison me," I explain.

"Can you go as far as to say laxatives is poison?" Killua asks somewhat sarcastically and I let out breathy laughs.

"Anything that would've taken me out of the fight I would label as a poison," I state matter-of-factly.

"I like the way you think."
