Chapter Four

Killua wakes up to a beeping sound. The two boys are still wrapped in eachothers arms.

Gon's snoring is a little louder than when he first blacked out. He's still fast asleep with his mouth wide open. The snoring stops and he closes his mouth a second after the alarm starts beeping.

Killua sits up and yawns, stretching his arms out. He groans and digs his face back into Gon letting out a whine.

"We should just skip." Killua says into his green friend's chest.

Gon blinks his eyes open. "Mmm no, we gotta go." He says sitting up.

In response, Killua digs his face into the pillow and puts the blanket over his head.

"I'll just let Illumi murder me." he says into the soft white pillow.

"Noooo!!" Gon complains, shaking Killua's shoulder,

"C'mon! Let's go, we can hang out again after!"

"Are you boys up?!" Aunt Mito yells from the kitchen,

"Breakfast is ready!"

"Fine!" he says and gets out of bed. He quickly grabs his uniform and changes into it. Gon grabs his uniform and does the same.

They go downstairs and sit at the counter, digging into the meat and rice. Gon eats everything especially quickly just stuffing it in his face. He runs to grab his stuff with his mouth still full.

"gwet wine to gwonw (get mine too Gon)." KIllua says with his mouth full and shoves more spoonfuls of rice into his mouth.

Gon doubles back to get Killua's bag as well, then runs to the door.

"Thank you Aunt Mito, see you later!" He yells while putting on his shoes,

"Hurry Killua! We gotta go!"

Killua comes over and quickly slips his shoes on, then runs up beside Gon. They arrive and slip on their indoor shoes, then run into the classroom.

When the two enter Tai runs up to him. "So what do you think about my letter." She asks as she adjusts her school jacket.

"Oh I forgot." Killua says as he puts his backpack down.

He digs out the letter and tears it open. He pulls out the lined paper and reads the invitation.

"Sure I'll go, but not for the full time." He says and sits down.

Tai pumps her fist in celebration and thanks Killua. She sits down next to her twin brother and Killua shoves the letter into his pocket.

"Who was that?" Asked Gon as they sat down.

"Someone from my middle school." Killua says nonchalantly,

"My elder brother Piggy knows her better than I do though." He says and takes a chocolate covered marshmallow from his bag and pops it into his mouth.

Gon just looks at him in reply. The bell rings and class starts.

. . . .

Gon leans against his desk with his arms extended over it. His face is smashed inside an open book. He lifts his head up when the teacher dismisses the class.

"Killua! Let's eat outside!" He says getting up from his seat and putting his stuff away inside his bag, eager to get lunch with him this time.

"Sure." Killua says and gets up taking his stuff with him. He takes Gon to the school's courtyard and the two sit under a tree.

"Why so far away?" He asks.

Killua puts his back onto the tree. "I just wanted to be with you." he says shrugging and taking out his empty bento box. He opens the black box and frowns.

"I'm an idiot." he says and lets out a sigh. Then stuffs the black box back into his dark blue school bag.

"What's wrong?" Gon asks concerned as he opens his bento.

"I didn't pack myself a lunch." He says looking up to the sky. He shoves his hands in his pockets and fiddles with Tai's letter.

Gon frowns, "We can share mine!" He offers his bento holding it out to him.

"Okay whatever." Killua says and grabs his chopsticks from his bento box. He skoots closer to Gon and takes a bit of his rise and plops it onto his tongue.

Gon enjoys his bento with Killua, happy to share.

Killua thanks Gon and lays his head onto the grass, his hands behind his head. He lets out a puff of air and closes his eyes.

Gon holds in a giggle, putting his hand on his mouth.

Killua stretches himself by putting his arms above his head and yawns. The ends of his lips tilt upward and he moves his head to dig it into the grass.

"I want something sweet." Killua says

Gon lets out a little of his held back laughter.

"I might have some gum in my bag." He says opening it from his side and rummages through it. He gasps slightly and pulls out two pieces.

"Open your mouth!" He requests

Killua parts his lips, his eyes still closed and his pale cheeks dusted with pink. His white hair moves with the breeze.

Gon pops one of the pieces of gum in Killua's mouth, then the other in his own mouth. The tanner boy's cheeks turn a shade of cherry and he leans back against the tree smiling.

Killua chews on the piece of gum,

"fwanks." he says to Gon and sits up. He blows a bubble and looks into Gon's chocolate eyes.

"What's up with you?" he questions, noticing the black haired boy's red face.

His face turns even brighter. "What do you mean?" He says, the happy expression not seeming to change much.

Killua reaches out and touches Gon's cheek, his thumb rubbing a few small circles. His pale skin looks even pastier on Gon's.

"You're red. Why are you blushing?" Killua says, enjoying the feel of Gon's soft skin.
