The day we met. - A Hisoillu short story -

The beach

🖤Hisoka's POV🖤

     Waves crashed against the shore. The smell of the ocean was in the air. The sky was filled with shades of  orange, pink, purple, and blue. Beautiful pink tinted clouds flooded the sky as  the  sun was slowly setting. 

     I took it all in. It was so mesmerizing and calming out here, especially since the beach was much more quiet then it was earlier. It was mainly because there weren't as many people as there were and hour ago. There weren't people shouting, nobody's Bluetooth speaker was all the way up. Just the sound of the waves filled the area, as well as the occasional chant for a friend or family member in the distance. 

     It felt like only a few weeks since I moved here, but in reality it's been months. I've always wanted to move to Florida. Mostly because I wanted to be able to go to the beach whenever. I previously lived in Michigan. The weather was nice in the summer as well, but I've always wanted to live by the ocean. I am sick of all the snow every year, it gets too cold up there. So ever since I graduated from high school, I have been saving up my money to travel across the country. 

     I sat up from my towel and checked my phone. I changed the song on my Spotify playlist that I had on shuffle. Everything just felt so nice out on the beach, not a worry filled my mind. The song "Put Your Head On My  Shoulder" played. I looked at the shore, there were only a, few people here. 

     "Killua!! Stop splashing me!!" A boy with green spiked up hair said. There was another boy, probably the same age with white, fluffy hair. I was guessing his name was Killua because that's what the green hair boy said. 

"Don't forget, we are going to go home in an hour, before it gets too dark." 

     I looked over at the person who said that,  they were only a few meters behind the two younger boys. They had long raven colored hair down to the thighs, it was flowing in the wind. All I could see was the back of their head. I couldn't tell if they were a girl or a boy, but the voice was more masculine but the hair was feminine. The person then looked away from the ocean and then to me. We exchanged eye contact accidentally. A boy, a boy with a more feminine face and a masculine body. He also wore a pair of black swim trunks. My heart skipped a beat. He looked away quickly and brushed his hair behind his ear and continued walking down the shore with a basket in hand smiling. What the fuck was that feeling I got? He had huge black eyes, I couldn't really tell that many features from such a distance but, I could tell he was attractive. 

      I laid my head back down on my towel smiling. I closed my eyes and turned my Bluetooth up a notch. The song just swapped to Honey- by Boy Pablo. Then a few minutes later I heard, 

"Hey can I put my towel by you?" 

     I sat up, then opened my eyes and the direction of the voice, it was him. He was crouched down pointing at a spot in the sand, looking at me with those big beady eyes. I froze, I studied his face, he was so attractive.. 

"Did I scare you?" 

"Yeah maybe a little" I laughed. 

     Then I remembered to reply, "but yeah, go ahead." He smiled and sat his big blue and green beach towel down, it had one of those Hawaiian designs on it in white.  My towel was pink and purple with three diamonds going down it. I also had an umbrella behind my towel. The male placed his basket down on the other side of him, facing away from us. 

     "I really like your music taste, I listen to that song too."

  "That's super cool! Do you like the song Sweater Weather or Daddy Issues?" I asked in return.

  "I listen to both of them.", he smiled excitedly but calmly.

    He is already so sweet, what a cutie. I should ask him if he wants to get a drink sometime later. 

     "I really like your hair, it's so nice. How did you get it so long?" I asked him. 

     "Thank you.", he smiled, " I've been growing it out since I was a sophomore. And I use a lot of hair products to get it like this. Your hair is also really cool, did you get it professionally done?"

 I nodded. "So how old are you then?" 

"I'm 24." He said. 

 "I'm 27." I replied.

So he isn't that much younger then me, that's a good sign.

    While we talked, I noticed all the little details. Like when he put his hands through his hair, how he looked at me,  and how his eyes shined in the sunset. I noticed he had a small button nose, and medium sized lips. His lips looked really nice in general,  I wanted to kiss them.

"Hey are you there?" He snapped his fingers in my face. Oops, I must of dozed off looking at him. 

"Yeah sorry, was just thinking of something." I replied.  

"It's okay, " He gigged, " You looked cute." 

I blushed a little," Thanks."

  "Anyways, I wanted to tell you, that I came here with my brother and his 'friend' ." He made quotation marks with his hands as he said that.

"My brother is the one with the white hair, Killua. His friend is the one with the greenish black hair, Gon. I only say friends in quotes because they are really close, so I don't know if they are dating or not."

 "Are they both gay? " I questioned.

 "Killua is gay and Gon is bi, they both came out recently, I came out a year before Killua." He said. 

He's not homophobic, and he likes men. I sighed in relief. 

"What do you identify as?" I questioned

"I'm gay." He said.

 I could tell he had a little worry in his eyes. Probably worried that I was homophobic or that I just thought he was weird. 

"I'm bi, so don't be worried" I smiled. 

     Relief filled him. "Thank god you aren't homophobic. Also, I had a clue bc of your hair and towel" He said. I laughed. 

     After a little bit more talking, we went for a stroll down the shore, learning more about each other with every step.  Soon or later we exchanged phone numbers but as we were exchanging numbers, I realized I didn't get his name.

"What's your name by the way." I asked

 I'm Illumi, Illumi Zoldyck." 

My eyes widened. "Isn't your family famous?" 

 "Yeah we are Tiktok famous." He laughed. 

"I'm Hisoka Morrow." I told him.

 Illumi is such a nice name. 

     After a while it was time for us to go home. The sun was about to fall fully as I walked with Illumi to his car. The two boys were ahead of us, racing  to the car.  We stood beside each other smiling. For a second we just stared at each other. I brushed his hair behind his ear then ran my hand through his hair, he blushed lightly.

 "Stop flirting with that guy and take us home! Me and Gon are gotta binge watch Big Mouth!" Killua yelled from in the car.

Illumi giggled at what his younger brother said. I smiled.

" Goodbye Illumi"

"Goodbye Hisoka"
