Illumi x Male Oc x Hisoka

Chapter 4 - Set in Motion

The bluette left to the back of the tunnel, leaning against it as he slid down, sitting prompting against it. He kept an eye on the other contestants, watching them closely. He didn't bother to leave and go back to the 2 men who he was sure were fighting over him. He stayed there, waiting for the exam to start and for him to pass through them all. But, as he watched them, he saw a familiar face walking up to him. "Illumi," he stated, looking to the male who walked up to him. "I forgot to mention, while here, I'll be under the ploy that I am Gittarackur, I have a disguise too. If you need help, all you need to do is ask. I can't have you fail this, especially if we were to work together in the future" he implied, now walking away, not letting the younger male answer before leaving. The bluette didn't bother to pay attention to the offer, he didn't need his help. He disliked asking for help, he actually hated it which is one of the few emotions he had. Once completely out of view, the bluette sighed as he started to look at the others, watching them closely in hopes to cure his boredom, but ultimately failing. He looked to the roof of the tunnel and thought of what he should do. He landed on the elevator as 3 new contestants walked through. They seemed around his age, one seemed too young and the others seemed like teens. He decided to stand up and go look around the three, seeing what they were doing since he had been waiting for too long. As he approached the three, another man walked up to them, offering them what seemed like a can of soda. He backed away as he watched the scene unfold. "Bleh, I think this soda expired already, Mr. Tonpa" the youngest one said, looking at the man named Tonpa. "Huh!?! O-oh, I'm sorry. I must've brought the wrong pack" he apologized, now sweating and rubbing the back of his head. However, as the bluette was about to talk to them, a scream was heard in the back of the back of him. He turned back to see what happened to see Hisoka looking proud and sadistic while the man who screamed was missing an arm. "Oh... he's back again," the man said.

The boy ignored the scream and walked over to the man, trying to understand what the redhead wanted with him. "You know him?" Aika asked him, butting into their conversation for answers. "Hmm? Yeah. He took the exams last year but was disqualified for killing a contestant" he answered. "What!? And they let him retake the exam!?" The oldest of the trio yelled out. The bluette only looked at the magician. "Yeah. You could murder half the contestants this year and still take it next year" the fat man said. Aika looked back at the trio, eyeing them for seconds before extending his hand. "Aika Athyms, pleasure to meet you" he introduced, his dull eyes catching the attention of the blonde male. "Hi, I' Gon, this is Kurapika and that's Leorio" the youngest of the three greeted, taking his hand and shaking it eagerly. Aika looked back at the magician to notice that he was staring right back. In a moment of surprise, Aika turned his head back, looking at the young boy who smiled happily. "As much as I'd like to stay, I must go. Good luck to you three. I hope to see you in the finale exams" he stated, his plain voice not changing in tone. As he began to leave, he felt the gaze of the blonde male known as Kurapika still on him. "What a weird boy" he said, looking back at the trio. He was lost in thought that he didn't notice that he was walking straight to the magician. He continued to walk until he bumped into someone's chest. He backed away, holding his head. "Sorry" he apologized, not looking up at the man. "Oh, it's okay" the voice the bluette dread to hear. The smaller male looked up at the man, recalling the argument he had with Illumi moments before. "Oh, it's you" he said, to the magician, now looking away to avoid having to look at him. "Are you here to confess you love for me?" he questioned, already knowing the answer. But, he noticed the bluette not speaking to him, instead, he looked to the right, not answering him and keeping his gaze on the same position. Hisoka looked to where his gaze fell to find him in a heated staring contest with a blonde male known as Kurapika.

"A friend of yours?" the redhead known as Hisoka questioned. The bluette didn't break eye contact with the male, refusing to lose to him. Hisoka looked to the same male that the younger male store at, glaring at the male who was shook and turned his head immediately and looked away. "I didn't need your help" the smaller male said, now looking at the redhead. "Oh, I know. But you shouldn't just stop talking to someone. Pay more attention to what you're doing" Hisoka said, looking down at the male. "I didn't want to pay-". Before he could finish his sentence, Hisoka grabbed his face and forced him to look at the redhead. How Aika hated that he liked the feeling. He didn't want to like it but something made him like it. The feeling that he felt when he first met him. Submissive. "When I talk, you listen" he spoke, his words stern and cold. The smaller male felt his feet grow weak. The feeling spread through his body until he couldn't move. He just looked up at the magician, now feeling the same feeling that he both loved and hated. Fear. It was something new that he hadn't experienced before. He felt his body grow numb, like he was about to fall over at any time. He tried to look away, fighting against the taller male that was causing this to him. He wanted to get far away from him, scared that he'd change him in ways he didn't want to change. "Let go" he protested, raising his voice slightly, but not much. The magician loved seeing the smaller male helpless like this. He wanted to see this side of the emotionless male more and more. He became addicted to seeing it. He loved the feeling that he was dominating him. But, before this could escalate, the back of the tunnel opened up, revealing a man, standing there. "Hello. Welcome to those here and good luck. Now, if you'd please follow me" the man said, turning around as he started to walk. Hisoka let go of the male, moving out of the way for him to leave.

The blutte looked up at the male before turning to the start, running up to the crowd. As he ran, he looked back at the magician one last time before he turned back to the man running, following him closely. He ran up to the front to make sure he could keep eye contact with the examinee. The contacts he wore didn't allow him to see too far ahead, so he had to keep a very close eye on a target when on a mission. He looked back at the contestants noticing some of them falling over from exhaustion. That's when he realized the exam had already been set in motion. He looked forward once more, watching the examinee closely in case the bluette were to lose him by some chance. The smaller male turned his head to the right, noticing a man wearing the same clothes as Illumi, knowing it was him, the bluette ran the the other side of the tunnel, not wanting anything to do with him. Though they were engaged, the relationship itself was broken from the start. The younger male was merely doing what his father had told him to do, not thinking too much about the situation and not worrying about himself. However, as he looked forward, he noticed that the examinee had already walk out of his sight. In a desperate need, he ran faster to try and look for the man he was to follow but found it more difficult. "I told you, you could always ask for help. It's those restraints, isn't it? Why not take them out" a voice from behind him called out, now looking at Aika. "Gittarackur" the bluette uttered, looking at the tall male that store down at the small male. "I don't need to take them out" he said calmly, looking forward, trying to find the examinee. The tall male next to him sighed as he ran next to him. "Then follow me" he offered. The small male, though hating to admit it, needs his help. Aika ran net to him, holding onto his shirt in case he lost him too. They ran next to each other, with the small, blinder male behind Gittarackur, holding his shirt to help him pass the first level.
