Tater Tots and... Other Stuff

Like every other week night, Gon was snuggled up on the couch, tucked under his blanket. And even as the television show he watched was excruciatingly boring, he didn't mind.

He would probably end up falling asleep, anyway.

He was about to lean his head on the arm of the couch in order to rest his eyes, but the vibrations from his phone alerted him immediately. He hastily pulled it from his front pocket, swearing to never leave it there again, and unlocked it.

Killua: I had a horrible shitty night and I'm dragging you down with me. Mind if I come over for a bit?

He pulled his other hand from beneath the covers to send his response.

Gon: You plan on telling me what happened?

Killua: Well eventually...

Killua: But not now

Gon sighed, knowingly.

Gon: Alright get your ass over here

Killua: You have the needed essentials right? 😏

Gon: Of course 😏

Killua: Yessss!! I'll be there soon!

Gon shook his head in protest to his giggling, and immediately got up from the couch. He wrapped the blanket around his shoulders like a magician's cape, and made his way to the kitchen, where his Aunt Mito had just finished cleaning up dinner from that night.

Walking over to the freezer, he opened the door and pulled out a bag of tater tots.

He heard his Aunt scoff from behind him. "Killua's coming over, huh?"

"Just for a little bit."

He took the bag over to the counter and opened it, groaning at the sight. "Is this all we have left?"

Mito chucked the dish towel she used for drying her hands into the empty dish strainer and joined him at the counter. "Yikes, looks like you two'll have to survive without junk food for one night."

"What?! What else are we going to stuff our faces with?!" Gon panicked, Sonic-sprinting back to the freezer and skimming over its fundamentals.

Mito shook her head. "It's just one night, Gon."

"No, you don't understand! I told him we had the needed essentials. He's on his way over here fully expecting a sizzling hot plate of Tater Tots to be sitting on the table for him! Do you know what he'll do to me if he gets here and there's not a sizzling hot plate of tater tots on that table?! He'll rip me to shreds!" Gon cried.

"What a healthy relationship you guys have."

"Aunt Mitooooooo!! Please! Just this one time! Can you go to the store and get us some Tater Tots...?" Gon was practically on his knees at that point, and Mito was fully prepared to slap him upside the head. But instead, she said, "You're ridiculous."

She then grabbed her jacket from the back of one of the dining chairs and threw it on. "I'll be back, so behave until I get home-"

Gon threw his arms around her waist, "Thank you so much, you saved my life!"
