Gons POV:

"What do you think Kil would like Kurapika?" I ask frantically looking around. Right now it's December 20th, so 5 days before Christmas. And I still don't have a present for Killua yet.. Me and killua already have our presents for Kurapika and Leorio, but this trip is like for our significant other, which for me is Killua, and for Kurapika is Leorio.

So we split up, and went to 2 different malls so we wouldn't bump into each other and see that we are getting for the other. But I don't know what to get for him.. it has to be perfect! I want to repay him for all that he's done for me. He really didn't have to Yelp me 8 months ago.. but he did, and I want to return the favor. Even though it wasn't really a favor, and it lead to us dating but that's besides the point.

"Calm down Gon, we have a whole day to shop. And I think no matter what you get him, he will love it, promise." He smiles at me. Which he rarely ever does. "Well you don't have to worry about presents anymore! You already have one for Leorio-San!" I remind him.

He sighs and stops walking, me doing the same. "Gon, I'm sure Killua is having a hard time finding just the right present for you as well, we still have time, and I'll help you look around for something. But frantically screaming isn't going to do you any good." He laughs slightly.

I breath in and out, "Ok.. but I don't know what he might like! It has so be perfect, I want to give back to him. He's helped me so much these past months, and I just want it to be special.." I mumble the last part. We both start walking again, "Of course Gon. Anything you get for you loved one, you want it to be special. And I think I know just what killua might like." He smirks and starts looking around. "What is it?" I ask.

"Well, you." He replies. My face turns red, "M-me?!" I yell getting flustered. "Well not like that, who do you think I am? I mean he cherishes you, he considers you his world. He would give up everything to make you happy. What I'm saying is, memories. I think we should give him the memories. Do you have pictures of maybe, last dates? Just everyday pictures?" He asks me. And I get what he's saying now. "Well yeah, and if I don't killua sure as hell does." I smile at him. And he smiles back.

"Great!" He says walking into a book store. And minutes later he comes out with a blank book." What's that for?" I ask wondering how the memories thing ties into that. "We are going to print out the pictures, and you are going to make a 'scrap book' of sorts." He says. I put my mouth in the shape of an 'o' to signal that I understand what he means. "But where are you going to find a place that lets us print pictures?" I ask.

"Hmm.. I'm not sure, I don't know if anything will be here, but there is a place at Walmart." He reply's. "Well then lets go to Walmart then." And he nods, and we start walking out of the mall.

Time skip

We are now pulling up into my driveway, after going to Walmart and printing out the many pictures I have. "It looks like they aren't here yet, which is great, that give you time to put it all together." He says as we get out of the car. "Thank you Kurapika, I probably wouldn't have ever thought of that on my own. And for that I really appreciate the help." I smile at him. "Well isn't that what friends are for?" He laughs. And I laugh a little as well.

Right as we fall in Kurapika starts looking for the wrapping paper, while I go looking for the glue, scissors, pens pencils colors etc, and tape.

Once I find them, I go to my room, placing everything on the bed so I can get to work.

Time skip

After about an hour of working, I finally look through it. I glued and tapped a lot of the pictures in, and wrote a description of each one. Which that is why it took so long since I had to remember all of the pictures and why we took them. I had a sharpie and on the cover I wrote, 'Memories' I smile at the name.

I picked each picture by which meant more to me. Not that all of them didn't, it's just these where the special few that made my heart flutter.

But I still have at least 50 to go, and we only printed 70, yes we have taken a lot of pictures over these 8 months. So I've only gone through 20, and it's been an hour. Maybe I should stay up tonight working on it.. but what if killua wakes up in the middle of the night.. I don't want to spoil the gift!

And I can't wait long.. Christmas is in 5 days.. I pout a little. But it immediately goes away as I hear the door open, and Leorio yelling. "We're home!" And my eyes light up. But my heart races a second later as I scramble to cover everything. I open the drawer what's next to my side of the bed and stick the pens, pencils, colors, glue and scissors inside. And I push the book in next. I put the remaining pictures under my pillow, and the scrap paper in the trash.

I then calm myself down as I calmly walk out of my room. Right as I see him I run up to jump on him. "Woah! Gon!" He laughs. I do my signature style and wrap my legs around his waist and arms around his neck. "I missed you.." I mumble in his neck. And I can basically hear his smile. "I missed you too, but we saw each other this morning." He rubs my back and kisses my cheek.

"Well that was so long ago! And what took you guys so long?" I ask pulling back to face him. "It's a surprise~" he purrs and smirks at Leorio. He's up to something.. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I think that it was because of the present he bought. I wonder what it is that he bought..

I pout and he gives me a quick peck on my lips. "Don't be upset, I promise, well I hope you will like what I got." He smiles. And I smile slightly back.

"Get a room you two! You don't see me and Kurapika all up in each other, so chill." Leorio snickers and I stick out my tongue at him making Killua chuckle, and we all start laughing.
