My Knight in Hunter Green

Chapter 5

     We just sat there in a comfortable half-silence, listening to the band play, drink our tea, and just enjoy each others company.

     Gon was the first one to speak.

     "Do you want to try my tea? It's really good!"

     I smiled and answered with a small 'sure'. He handed me the cup with the pastel green liquid. I swirled the cup in a circular motion and watched the coconut jelly and ice spin around.

     After taking a small sip I could distinctively taste the contrast in taste between the bitter green tea and the sweet peach foam. He has good taste.

     "So what do you think?"

     "It's good. I might've picked out a slightly different tea though. Like a raspberry green tea."

     He grinned and giggled, "I'll consider that next time."

"Do you want to try mine?" Gon nodded and I handed him my pink tea with equally pink foam.

     He took a sip and as I watched him I was reminded of how I spend WAY too much time with Hisoka.

     "It's really good! I haven't had rose tea before, but I really like it. The strawberry foam sweetens it just enough." He handed me my drink and before I could say anything else, a voice whispered in my ear.

     "Indirect kiss your majesty~." I tuned around so fast my neck could've snapped, just like my patience. "HISOKA!"

     "Ooooooh I didn't know you enjoy screaming my name. If you want to, we can-." At that moment Illumi decided to intervene, hitting him on the back of his head.

     "One day we're going to be fed up with your bullshit and finally execute you."

     I sighed and questioned my brother. "So why are you guys here? How long have you been stalking us?"

     "Actually, we just came down for the festival. Not everything's about you Killua."

     "Okay, then can you leave us alone?"

     "Awwwww, but don't you guys like spending time with us?"

     "Yeah, I don't like spending time with pedophiles."

     I looked at Gon in surprise, from what I could gather he's not the type to make such comments.

     "Nice one."

     "...you guys are always so mean to me."

     "Yeah okay, lets go." Illumi started dragging Hisoka away, finally.

"Lua~ you still have more questions to ask."

Oh, he's right, quite a few more to go. "Okay, what's your favorite book?"

     "I like The Promised Neverland! It's really cute. It's about these really smart kids that live in an orphanage and love their 'mom'." Okay, pretty simple answer. "Your Turn."

     "Question five, Lua, do you like peppermint candy?"

"I guess, they're not really sweet enough for my liking, but they're good enough."

    He just nodded in reply. I guess that's not the answer he was looking for.

    "What's your fighting style and how have you developed it to a professional level in under twelve years?"

     He thought for a moment before answering. "I use a double edged long sword and I just practiced a lot. There's not much to do on whale island."
