the sun seeped through the curtains blazing gon's eyes with it's rotating rays. he shifted uncomfortably in his bed suddenly feeling a little too warm. reluctantly, he peeped one eye open adjusting to the light, the other eye following shortly after. he romoved the arm that was propping his head from beanth his pillow to grab his phone off the nightstand.
today was the day he'd get to see killua again.
his body moving before on its own out of excitement, he headed into the bathroom for a shower.
4 years.
it's been 4 years since the last he saw of those ceruline irises. there were no words or coherent thoughts that would be able to explain the longin he had for killua. an indescribable need. gon figured out his feelings just a few months after him and killua parted ways. it took for gon to not have the familiar warmth of his limbs and celestial pitch of his voice to realize he needed him there for more than 'best friend' duties.
they weren't supposed to go so long without eachother, but gon had some things of his own regarding his persona he wanted to work on. gon made killua feel like an object, only useful when needed by another. although, that's not how gon felt about killua, not by a long shot. gon was overpowered by his inner demons and acted selfishly. despite all of that, he wouldn't change a thing. because from these experiences, gon was able to recognize his errors and change, for killua.
gon had put off him and killuas reunion until gon thought he was worthy of being by his side again. and he has also spent that time working on an apology, a real one.
gon stepped out of the shower and threw a towel around his waist making his way back into his room. removing the towel from his waist up to dry his hair while preparing his clothes. he threw on baggy black cargo pants with a grey long sleeve. he decided on leaving his hair down as a memory of killua saying how he looked "grown up" with his hair like that flashes through his head.
he checked his phone reading 11:32. his and killua agreed on meeting at a cafe at 12:00. although the cafe was close, he wanted to be early as an attempt to beat his oncoming nerves. gon took a deep breath while sliding his phone into his pant pocket. he grabbed the small present he had gotten for killua months ago while making his way out of his apartment. killua would only recieve this present though if the second part of his apology goes well. and he really hopes it does.

gon took his seat at the cafe booth near the front window. it was a light rainy day, soft droplets of water trickling down the foggy window as gon aimlessly stared out through it. "can i start you off with something to drink sir?" gon whipped his head to face the waitress. "can i just get 3 waters please." gon says giving the waitress a cheeky smile as she joys down in her note pad. "of course, that'll be right out." she says returning the smile.
killua is still with alluka and said she would be joining us. to be completely honest, i was ecstatic. i didn't really get a chance to talk to alluka when we split, but she's killuas sister, i want to make a good impression.
as if on cue with gons thoughts, the waitress coming towards him with the drinks, and the familiar patch of white hair coming through the door accompanied with the bell ringing, gon's heart almost burst through his chest. his nerves came down on him all at once with no warning. he couldn't speak or move, he was completely eloped by killua.
he hadn't changed tremendously, but his form was more buff and his hair had grown out a bit. his face had also chiseled out quite a bit. he was wearing black jeans with a graphic tee and a dark navy blue zip up. he looked, really good.
killua examined the room swiftly before immediately catching eyes with gon. he wide smile spread on his face along with the lightest blush of pink dusting his cheeks.
seeing killuas smile, a real genuine smile, snapped gon out of whatever stance he was in. the only thing that mattered was him, killua.
"gon." killua said as he walked over to the booth. gon got up from his seat and immediately embraced killua in a hug, something he should've done a long time ago when he really need it. killua returned the gesture with no hesitation. digging his chin into gon's damp hair. "hi killua." gon said softly into his shoulder. both of them standing up, killua had also grown quite a bit in height, surpassing gon by 5 inches. "when the hell did you get so tall?" gon says followed by a chuckle escaping killuas mouth.
the released eachother from the hug and finally got a chance to examine eachothers differences.
"i see you finally changed." killua states with a smirk. "oh shut it, get a haircut." gon said folding his arms and looking away with a pout.
gon then looked behind killua expecting to see alluka, but didn't. killua and gon took their seats across from eachother as killua sipped his water. "where's alluka?" gon says also taking a sip from his drink. "she decided she wanted to go and be by herself for awhile. and trust me i absolutely said 'no' at first and put up a very reasonable argument. but she's an adult now and i can't force her to do anything, only encourage it." killua says. gon noticed how upset killua looked. he couldn't even imagine how hard that must've been for him. i mean he was pretty much her caretaker. "did she have any definitive plans as to what she wanted to do?" gon says trying to lighten the mood. "she wants to go to school, and become a doctor." killua says with a smile. "and i think that would be really good for her. she loves helping people and she's has the ability to grant wishes and gift miracles." killua says now returning the eye contact with gon. gon smiles at him. "she's gonna be amazing killua." gon says throwing the weight of his head onto his palm as he leaned his elbow on the table. "i would've let you know but she told me like an hour before we were supposed to leave." killua says with a 'fake' annoyed attitude. he hesitated for a moment before saying, "she also wanted me to have some proper alone time with you, to catch up and stuff." he says throwing his hands to his lap.
"are you gentlemen ready to order?" the waitress asks. killua and gon quickly scanned the menu and just ordered whatever looked good to them first. she jotted the orders down his her note pad and walked away.
"how long do you plan on staying?" gon asks as he played with the paper from the straw. "well, i only planned on staying for a few days but now that alluka isn't with me anymore, i don't really know." gon was about to say something before killua sputtered out, "i-i was thinking, that we could travel again, t-together." killua says as the dusty pink returned to his cheeks. gon had the same tint on his but didn't take the time to noticed due to his heart skipping multiple beats. he tried to keep it together the best he could so he wouldn't disrupt the other in the cafe. "yes, of course. i miss you so much killua." gon said smiling so wide his cheeks cramped. "i-i missed you too." killua said as the blush deepened on his cheeks, still refusing to meet gon's eyes. "you still get embarrassed so easily, nothing really has changed has it?" gon his with a soft chuckle.
once killua had finally cooled his cheeks, he met gon's eyes. he had so much to say to him, but not now. "you should wear your hair like that more often." killua says reaching over the table and fluffing gon's hair. "you like it like this?" gon says grabbing killuas wrist with his hand. their faces were close but not too close. enough for the blush to reappear on both their cheeks instantly. "well when you p-put it like that." killua says retreating to his seat and folding his arms. gon just responds with a laugh.
it almost felt unreal. being together like this again, just the two of them. nothing really has changed between the two of them. and both of them want it to stay like that.

"so this is your apartment?" killua asks as gon closed his door. "nah, i just hijacked a key from the front desk and hoped it came with furniture." gon says throwing his key on the counter. "smartass." killua says sitting on the couch and propping his feet up on the coffee table. "how's mito?" killua asks throwing his arms behind his head. "she's good, i decided to move out a little earlier than usual but we still keep in touch almost everyday." gon says now sitting down next to killua.
they had ended staying at the cafe a little longer than intended, just catching up and sharing all the stories of the adventures gon had with ging and killua had with alluka. so by now, it was nearing sunset.
"there's a really beautiful beach just behind this complex, wanna go check it out?" gon says standing up looking down at killua. "sure."
they made their way out of the complex and a few meters behind it soon being greeted with the aroma of water and sand.
gon and killua took their shoes off and relaxed at the feeling of sand beneath their feet. they walked along the shoreline until gon broke their comfortable silence. "killua?" , "hm?". gon stopped walking and waited for killua to turn and look at him. gon then met killuas eyes. "i'm sorry, i never truly apologized for everything that happened before we split. i was hurt and immature, but that gave me absolutely no reason to make you feel like you were only important when you were useful. because that's not true. i'm sorry i made you feel that way but i've taken the time to work on myself and heal from all the shit that happened. that's why it took me so long to finally see you again. i didn't feel worthy to even meet your eyes. but i'm better now, and you're here. that's all that matters to me." gon didn't realize tears were running down his cheeks until killua had come up to him to wipe them with his thumb. killua had a soft look in his eyes and a faint smile planted on his lips. "i love you killua."
gon had not ripped his eyes away from killua, he promised himself he would make sure his message gets through no matter what killua thought in the end.
"i don't even want us to be apart again. i need you."
killua continued to rub gon's cheeks and more tears spurred out.
"there no me without you killua."
killua let a tear fall from his eye as the words he always wanted to say to gon, came out of gon's mouth.
killua closed the gap between their faces as tears continued to stroll down both their faces.
the need to be closer became apparent as gon arched his back a bit to meet killuas chest. their lips moved slowly, savoring the taste of one another.
both of their stomached were in a whirl and hearts felt like fireworks. there's nothing more either of them could ever want more than this moment right now, to last forever.
killua was the first to break, first panting for air. "i forgave you a long time ago gon. there was nothing more i wanted than to be with you and feel you next to me. you are my light."
gon ran his fingers through killuas hair savoring evey touch.
they stood there on the beach until the sun set to let everything that had been spoken sink in with one another. and thinking of 'what's next?'. once they had made it back to gon's apartment, killua tools gon hand and let him to his bedroom.
killua laid gon on his bed and straddled him leaning his face close.
"i've wanted to touch you for so long."
those words were enough to let the plans of the next few hours fall into place.
gon was killua heraith. killua felt as if gon was a safe home for him, but a safe home he wasn't welcomed in. gon to killua was like a lantern in a pitch black cave.
but now, killua has been welcomed into that indescribable warmth and comfort that is gon. and killua couldn't be happier.

they both laid in bed snuggling up next to each other not wanting to leave the warmth.
"oh i almost forgot!" gon says sitting up and reaching into his pant pocket. killua say up curiously looking at what gon was holding.
"i made us promise rings, well not really 'made' them, but i just carved our initials in the inside." gon said rubbing the back of his neck with the pink tint fluttering his cheeks.
killua smiled brightly at the 2 rings that layers in the males hand. killua held his hand out for gon to put the ring on his finger. "are you insinuating that this is just a temporary ring until you get the real thing?" killua says while putting the other ring on gon. "you'll just have to wait and find out."
the rest of the night was spent with talks, snuggles, and a lot more kissing.
killua and gon could tell you one thing for sure though, is that they never would've expected them to be here now when they met at the hunter exam 6 years ago. and neither of them would change a thing.
