There was a ritual in it, Satoru thought - buttoning up the nicest shirt he owned, freshly ironed with the wrinkleless slacks he only ever took out for that day. He brushed his hair out in soothing, repeated motions. Once, twice, thrice; over and over as he breathed deep and slow. He was a metronome, following the tempo of his anxieties, preparing for the day to come. As he slid his round, blacked-out sunglasses on, he couldn't shake the feeling something truly terrible was about to happen. He tried to ignore it, hoping he was wrong - that it was just paranoia.
He'd never been wrong before.
He knew he wasn't wrong this time.

It was like waking up and feeling like the air had changed. Or how some describe how they know when a family member has passed before someone breaks the news. Suguru felt like his lifeline had been trimmed. Like something beyond decided that today would be his day. The final step. And his actions hadn't helped. Since last year he'd stacked the odds against himself, putting ticket after ticket into the reaping for another bag of grain, another piece of meat. It kept them fed, but the cost was coming. He knew. He just did.

Coronavirus is widespread, forcing civilians to stay at home. They were worried, indeed, and it's better not to risk their lives anyway. The story was different for the extremely extroverted 17-year-old Gon Freecss, who's been dying to leave and talk with his friends. Alas, his aunt was overly strict about the topic. So, he finally was introduced to the online world that every introvert appreciates. He didn't know that Online relationships can be this strong- he didn't know that he'd fall in love with someone, who didn't show him a face. He loved Killua under the name 'Electrified' and wished for more every time they text, wished for more every time he teases, wished for more every time Killua fumbled with his keys because of embarrassment. It was Gon's fun time to tease the boy, have fun, forget about COVID-19. He didn't know that he'll appreciate someone online and love him truly anyway. Phone sex, nudes, and more, Gon had his ultimate fun teasing the boy over the screen. But, both of them cherished every moment without them knowing... ••• "Mito! Please open the door! I have to meet him! Please!" Killua yelled, his suitcase rested beside him outside the doorstep. He was knocking harshly on the door, noting that Mito is a few steps away but not responding. "Killua, leave." Responded Mito. The grieving tone in her voice broke something inside the stubborn boy, who knocked harsher on Gon's door. "No, Gon needs me. Please, I want him to know that I am here! H-He has to know!" Protested the wrecked Killua, sliding down on his knees, his hands and head resting on the door. "I will tell him that you came to visit..." Said Mito, finalizing any possibilities to go inside... ••Notice: Explicit Scenes will be skipped on Wattpad. The story will be deleted at some point.

"Have you come here to die?" The voice was a bare whisper against the enveloping dark. It sounded stark and cold, with nothing in offer linked to safety. Yet, it brought me comfort of great proportions. ♛ ♛ ♛ In the dark wintry recesses of Baneberry Lane where the sun seems to set earlier than the rest, troubled passion blankets the streets. Known as the Valley of The Shadow of Death by the commoners for the dangerous folk it harbors. There's a house at the corner of the street underneath the pavement where a lone mollyboy stays with his dying mother with no inclination to trouble, save the knife he carries for protection. Brinley knows people look at him when he walks the districts. He sees the disgust in their eyes, he understands. The same dysphoria follows him everytime he looks at his body. Being born a girl, with a girls body and a girls voice took nothing from him knowing he was a boy. So he carries on, deepening his voice and binding his chest. Hoping one day, the misgendered notions would drop and people see him. Finn was born into wealth. Yet, the one thing he wants is the one thing he can never have. It's the secret he keeps against his family. Being attracted to the same sex is seen as a passing moment or a hankering in one's life. Finn knows that sex in his world is never followed by anything as absurd as love. So he carries on, still he craves and late at night, his desires take over him and he imagines what his life would feel like if he dropped all the pretenses. They could only shatter each other's worlds. ♚ ♚ ♚ Note: This is a short story set before the timeline of "Arsenic."
