My Pixie

Abort Mission

Netero allowed us to take his airship to the new location of Menchi’s exam.

A beautiful landscape of a canyon.

She explained that the canyon was a Spider Eagle nesting ground and our objective was to steal an egg.

She had demonstrated by jumping into the canyon and hanging onto the thick web spun by the Spider Eagle, then dropping and snagging an egg before flying up on the updraft of an air current.

The task seemed easy enough.

Which is how I got here, hanging on a Spider Eagle web next to Hisoka.

Some people fell because they couldn’t hold themselves up while others jumped too soon.

Those remaining either chose to listen to Gon or knew to stay themselves. 

I looked to the side and studied Hisoka’s face.

He looked incredibly bored, staring off into the distance.

It was a pretty view, the bright blue of the sky melding into the reddish-brown of the dusty ground.

Looking ahead was like looking up from a creak in the earth to see vibrant blues intensified by the sun. 

‘Actually, that’s literally what it is.’ I internally rolled my eyes at the thought.

Anyways, back to Hisoka’s face.

As attractive as his sharp jaw and handsome nose was, I found the star on his cheek incredibly endearing, and the way his honey-like eyes danced with mirth and-

‘Shit! Abort mission!’ 

“See anything you like~” Hisoka flexed his arms and I gulped, snapping my head away from his direction.

He chuckled and hummed sensually. 

“It’s interesting~ You seem strong but refuse to show your power. Makes me curious. And a little annoyed.” His tone fluctuated between musing and accusing. 

“Say~ Won’t you show me what you’re hiding~” He whispered huskily, pulling his body up and towards me.

“I promise I won’t disappoint you~”

Heat pooled in my gut and I readjusted my grip on the sticky web.

He hummed and then something soft and wet moved against my ear.

I flinched away from him, my face burning as I stared at him wide-eyed with shock.

He offered me a devilish smirk and then dropped. 

Cursing I followed him down and latched onto an egg before free falling.

It was an odd sensation, eventually, it didn’t feel like falling, and instead, I was flying.

My hair whipping in the wind and my limbs light.

It was peaceful, a different world.

But then the updraft hit me like a train and suddenly I was springing up.

Once I was above the canyon I threw myself to the side and flipped through the air before landing on the cliff.

Bringing the egg over to the pot to boil it, I caught up with Gon and Killua.   

“That was awesome!” Gon cried and I smiled at them. 

“(Y/N) did you feel that! It felt like we were flying!” I chuckled at his overly cheerful attitude. 

“It was incredable wasn’t it?” I snickered at their nods. 

“Hmmm~ Yes it was simply divine~”

A shiver ran down my spine and I whisked around with burning cheeks.

Hisoka was smirking at me with a tilted head and a cheeky look to his eyes.

Then he handed me a half-eaten egg.

Blinking I grabbed it mutely and looked up at him in confusion. 
   
“As payment for giving me your food earlier~”

He pointed at the egg expectantly.

Blinking, I furrowed my brows. 
   
“I have my own…” I trailed off as his face steeled and all of the openness was gone.

Replaced by cold indifference.

“So you can have mine!” I panicked quickly stuffing my face with the egg.

He watched me eat with a pleased smile and a satisfied glint in his honey eyes. 
   
“Oh my god! This tastes fucking delicious!” I almost yelled, suddenly overwhelmed by the taste.

Hisoka’s chuckle brought me back.

He brought his thumb up and swiped at my lip. He smirked as a gasp left me. Then he licked his thumb and I felt my knees go weak as his tongue swept up the food.

His eyes never left mine.

Now he was leaning in close and I could suddenly smell him. 

He was all fresh and sharp. Like crisp air after suffocation, like finally taking a bite after starving, like drinking that first drop of water after an endless thirst.

An odd feeling came over me, as he was likely to be the cause of those feelings.

Because he was both the danger and the euphoria.

Something about the thought stuck in my mind.

Like I was so close to figuring out a puzzle.

But as soon as I thought of it, it flittered out of my head just as quick. Focusing while his breath fanned across my neck or his voice caressed my ear seemed impossible. I trembled as he whispered soft and low. 

“Keep yours, you can repay me by showing me how strong you are~”

Then he was walking away. I was left to stare after his back, the words bringing an odd feeling of deja vu into my bones. 

“(Y/N)? Are you alright?” Kurapika asked gently and I nodded absentmindedly. 

‘Who the hell was he to me? Why did his words…seem so familiar? ’
