Unfortunate Circumstances Hisoka x reader x Illumi

Back To Normal

It had been a few weeks since the incident with my mother. Everything seemed to be back to normal, except the boys seemed more tense with each other. I couldn't help but feel like it was my fault.

"Are you guys alright? You seem more on edge when all of us are together." I asked tugging on both their shirts.

"I'm fine~" Hisoka smiled at me.

Illumi placed his finger to his chin as if in thought. "I am also fine."

"Are you sure? I feel like I did something wrong." I looked down at my feet.

They both placed a hand on each of my shoulders. "You did nothing wrong." They said in unison.

"What's going on between us is not your fault, we're just trying to figure somethings out." Hisoka gently grabbed my chin raising my head to face him.

"What is going on between you?" I asked curiously.

"We're having a competition to see who wins the prize for themselves." Illumi informed me.

My mouth made in 'o' in realization. "So it's tension from a friendly competition! Neither of you want to lose so your more at each other's throats but not in a way you would actually hurt the other!" I smiled relieved it wasn't me.

"Yes exactly~" Hisoka pat my head.

"We should go to the library, I've been wanting to find something new to learn!" I skipped down the streets.

"That would be nice." Illumi joined me. He wasn't skipping but he was keeping pace while  walking, he somehow didn't look weird walking as fast as he was.

"Wait for me~" Hisoka joined us and we made it to the library.

I was giggling as we walked in which earned me a few glares and 'shh'. I hid behind the boys not wanting the unwanted attention I accidentally brought upon myself.

"What kind of book are you looking for y/n?" Illumi whispered to me.

"I was thinking a psychology book. I want to understand people better and to do that I need to understand what makes them tick." I replied also in a whisper.

I looked over to where Hisoka was and didn't see him, I looked around the library to find him leaning over a guy in a suit with glasses and black hair. It looked like he was studying before Hisoka interrupted him.

I casually walked up to Hisoka and the guy. "Who's this?" I asked pointing to the man sitting down who was just trying to study before we interrupted him.

"This is Leorio, he's Gon, Killua and Kurapika's  friend. I also took the hunters exam with him~" Hisoka answered patting his shoulder which obviously sent shivers down the mans spine.

"It's nice to meet you Leorio!" I held out my hand for him to shake which he did.

"Likewise. What's your name?" He seemed really tense and slightly scared of Hisoka.

"I'm y/n! What are you doing at the library?" I introduced myself and asked a question.

"I'm trying to study for med school." He sighed looking down at his several books and notebooks filled with his notes.

"That's so cool!" I looked down to his notes. They were surprisingly neatly kept and organized, the information on them was accurate and useful. "You're not bad at keeping notes Mr. Leorio."

He seemed to blush from my comment and formality. "R-really? Thanks! A-and Leorio is fine!" He waved his hands all over the place.

Illumi came up behind me with several books in his arms. "Y/n I got the books you wanted, can I read them with you? I think it would be a good idea for me to learn psychology as well."

I turned around smiling. "Of course it's ok!"

"Psychology huh? That's a difficult thing to learn." Leorio rubbed his chin in thought. "Good luck with that!"

"Thank you!" We talked with Leorio for a while after that. I asked him for Gon and Killua's phone numbers along with his own, because I didn't get them when we met, he gave them to me and we left him alone to study. We moved to a different part of the library so we wouldn't bother anyone.

I wasn't really understanding psychology very well neither was Illumi. "If you had to choose between your mother and your lover the correct answer doesn't exist. For me it would be my lover because of who my mother is, but for a normal person there just isn't a right answer." I was stumped by all the questions and scenarios in the book.

"I don't know which I would choose either." Illumi agreed.

"Indeed it is a predicament~" Hisoka was just sitting in a windowsill listening to us uninterested.

"We've read seven books and it has just confused me more. Now I'm even more scared of interacting with people, what if they are insane or something?" I sighed in defeat flopping onto the table covering all the books we had laid out with my body.

"I like the nature vs. nurture thing though." I mumbled into the books.

"Should we get ice cream instead of doing this?" Illumi asked standing up. I instantly perked up at the mention of ice cream.

"Yes please!" I stood up hugging Illumi for the genius idea.

•••

I ended up ordering a pineapple shake instead of ice cream because I saw someone else with it and it looked good. Which it was. Illumi got vanilla and Hisoka got bubblegum. We sat down at the counter in the fun spiny chairs, I sat in the middle of the boys.

"This is so good!" I melted taking another bite.

"Can I have a bite?" Hisoka asked pointing to my shake.

"Sure!" I scooped up a big bite onto my spoon and he leaned forward to take a it.

"It is good~" Hisoka smiled looking at me placing his head in his hand on the counter. I took another bite of my shake licking the spoon afterwards.

"Would you like a bite of mine?" He lifted his spoon with his ice cream on it.

"I'd love some!" I leaned forward taking a bite. It was sweet with bubblegum chunks in it. "It's really good!" I thumbed up speaking with the cold treat still in my mouth.

"May I have a bite y/n?" Illumi asked from my other side.

"Of course!" I scooped him a bite the same size as the one I gave to Hisoka.

He took the bite and smiled slightly. "It is very good."

"Can I have a bite of yours too Illumi?" I asked wanting to try his vanilla.

He scooped up a bite and placed it in my mouth. It was a really good vanilla, one of the best actually! "Oh wow! That's really good!"

We enjoyed our ice cream laughing and sometimes sharing bites back and forth. It was really fun.

I was once again thankful that I had these boys in my life to bring me joy.

I'm thinking of putting little specials at the end of the chapters that have nothing to do with the story but are  just for fun so you guys can get more of the boys! They'll be like one shots! Let me know if you would enjoy something like that. I'll take turns between the boys so everyone gets their fantasies fulfilled.

Also happy spoop season! I'm so excited for fall and Halloween! Even though it's still a month away I want it now! Though I'm not done with mine and my friends costume yet so I'll have patience and actually wait. My hands are covered in green paint from painting her boots XD I still need to make her jacket and get a blue turtleneck for myself. What are you guys going to be for Halloween? Are you planning on doing anything fun? I know it's still pretty far away but I have plans.
