Claiming You

Chapter Thirteen

Killua woke up an hour earlier than he was supposed to. He sighed and got out of bed. He grabs his phone and texts Tai.

"What will happen if I decline your offer."

Surprisingly, she texts back in about a couple seconds. "I'll make Gon's life a living hell." When he reads the text he slams his head into his soft bed and screams in the almost empty house.

"I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THAT IDIOT FROM GETTING INVOLVED!" He groans out in anger. "DAMNIT, DAMNIT DAMNIT." he screams. His phone dings and he picks it up. He reads the text from Tai,

"because Gon doesn't come from a powerful wealthy family, I can do anything to him. I had to hold back with you because of your family." Killua pounds his fists on his bed before picking up his phone and texting Tai his answer,

"I accept" he says and stomps over to his candy stash and throws candy into his mouth and chomps on it angrily.

. . . .

Gon goes to school early again. There aren't very many people there yet like last time. The people that are there were probably tutored this morning or something. Gon sits in his seat and patiently waits for class to start.

Two girls enter the classroom and sit in their seats that happen to be in front of Gon's.

One girl sits on the girls desk and starts to talk, "Hey you know Tai, right?" she asks her friend.

"Yeah, I went to middle school with her, why?" the brown haired girl asks the black haired friend.

"Well, we bumped into each other this morning and she and Killua were kissing!" the black girl said as she twisted her hair.

"HUH??!! No way, in middle school, Killua couldn't stand her! I mean, he even nicknamed her the wicked hag of the west!" the brown haired girl said surprised.

"Well, okay you got me, she just kissed him on the cheek but they were holding hands." She said and took a deep breath,

"So, I went up and asked Tai what in the world was going on and how she was able to grab the hottest guy in our grade, when she looks like a literal grape pop tart." she says and they both laugh.

"Oooh continue" the brown haired girl says while wiggling her eyebrows.

"Well, she said that her and Killua are dating. Killua even confirmed it!" she said as she rummages through her book bag.

"Dang, I wanted to be with Killua." the brown haired girl says with a slump.

"Uh, ya right, you just hate that Tai's with him." the black girl says before switching the topic to makeup.

Gon clamps the side of his desk where his hand was resting. What did she do to make him do that? Gon thought.

A minute before the bell rings, Killua comes into the classroom holding Tai's hand. She kisses his cheek before they both part ways. Killua sits down at his seat looking defeated.

Gon grips his desk harder. He doesn't look at Killua as he sits down. His usual smile to him as a greeting, is absent.

The bell rings and Gon releases his hand from the desk, and slouches into his chair. The spot on the desk his hand was holding now has a big dent. What was the reason? He wouldn't ever do something like that.

Tai skips over to Killua and whispers in his ear. "Yeah, do whatever you want." he says and the purple haired twins leave the room.

Killua grabs his bag and motions for Gon to follow him. When they arrive at the tree, Killua sits down, grabs his bento box and opens the lid.

Gon sits next to Killua under the tree. "Please explain." Gon says straight face opening his bento.

"Huh? Explain what, Gon." Killua asks as he takes a bite of his food.

"You came to class holding hands with Tai, and then she kissed you. What did she do to you for you to let her do something like that." He asks, honest.

Killua looks at the ground ashamed, "She threatened to hurt you." Killua says quietly, then turns around as if to hide his face from Gon.
