CHAPTER 3: x WAITING x
Gon was now quietly fishing.
Too much time was passing.
He'd even eaten one of the sandwiches he and Killua had prepared for lunch. It was way past lunch hour. And Killua hadn't come back…
Maybe he was worrying too much. He disliked with all his freaking soul Killua's family, especially Killua's elder was a feral dislike that sprang from Gon's chest, the moment he sensed how the albino changed under Illumi's stare. He hated it. It made him want to punch the elder. Gon tossed his fishing rod again to the sea exhaling with frustration. He kept his favorite colorful baits at his side...
The exact word for him right now wasn't bored. Worried. Worried did it.
Gon stretched and let himself fall on his back.
Killua where are you? He wanted to go and explore the Islands and seashore cities!
Gon looked at the brilliant blue sky, crossed by elongated clouds. He looked at the strips of white, suspended high above. With half lidded eyes he thought of Killua, feeling the warm summer breeze. He extended his arms to trace invisible words lazily with his fingers...
Killua... and all he was …...
Chocolate...
Mint...
Silk...
Claws…
And Silver...
And viiiiooooolet eyes...
Gon held his hands lazily drawing those silent words against the skies, and wondered idly.
Killua, the mischievous one of them both…Intelligent, nonchalant, cool, playful, truly caring. Gon grinned.
Memories of fun and adventures flashed in front Gon's eyes with delight.
Thousands! They fell around Gon like photographs he'd thrown to the skies:
That time when Gon had (against all odds) poisoned Killua with his brilliant cooking. Killua, hating the hospital IVS and pulling them off whenever he was awake, had sent a sample to his family lab, worried that he was not resistant to well, all as he had thought … Gon laughed. (Don't you laugh Freecs, the albino had said at the moment…)
That time they'd been trapped on the elevator. And Killua out of boredom had asked Gon- for the tenth time- if he wished he had listened to his mother's voice on the tape Ging had left him. And how, exhausted, he had turned around and inquired Killua if he regretted hurting his mother and Milluki the day he ran away.
That time they were camping on a meadow…and had woken to be surrounded by a hundred sheep. And the fun they'd had, making the poor sheep run from their crazed chasing.
That time someone had sent Killua a present. Gon had to admit it, he'd been slightly jealous.
He wasn't expecting the present to blow off.
Blackmail.
And that's how Killua would have looked with black hair. Not bad. He liked his silver better.
And that time they'd been hours on end playing with helium balloons, their voices and a camera. Kurapica had walked in the strange scene with a manly shriek.
Gon let out a soft sigh as he felt the sun warming his skin pleasantly.
Where are you?
Stuff like Illumi showed up...and the albino lifted all his defenses up. It was as if all of the pale boy's senses alerted danger. Gon could practically see Killua tense like a hissing cat. Gon sighed.
He should have been able to keep Illumi apart. He'd...promised... Gon always thanked that Killua finally had ran away from home. If not he would have never met such a friend…And Killua would have never gotten out of that hell.
Hell...
Gon was growing frantic by the minute. Was Killua alright?
He didn't want to call the boy's cell phone because maybe it was a stupid family issue of no importance.
Maybe it was just information about a past contact with money in exchange for the retribution.
And he, a spiky hair boy with a frantic idiotic mind, would complicate the meeting by calling Killua…He wanted to respect Killua's independence.
But he was taking too long! And he was worried about this meeting being not so nice.
Maybe he could just call Killua to yell something along the lines like "heey its way past lunch hour baka!"
But then the imaginary Killua in Gon's head kind of answered "I already ate. Why haven't you eaten?" with a isn't-it-obvious-I-already-ate voice
"I was waiting for you!"
"Why?" imaginary Killua sounding aloof. Undertone of can't-you do anything on your own.
A silence on Gon's side, and his final resignation "Ok, ok. I was making sure you were fine"
"Geez Gon. You should let me be sometimes. I have a life of my own you know" imaginary Killua said annoyed and bored.
"Now do a favor to yourself and go eat"
Gon was aware his imaginary Killua was rather OOC, much closer to his fears than reality. Actually it did not correlate at all to reality, but that's the way with fears you know.
Killua wouldn't say that at all.
Actually that was what he liked about Killua. He did not get tired of an extremely tiresome Gon.
Actually, it sometimes surprised Gon how…. the albino completely accepted Gon the way he was: Curious, Idiot, Naïve, Friendly, Impulsive, Good-willed. And horribly stubborn and hyperactive in a way Aunt Mito hadn't been able to deal with properly.
Others tried to take advantage of his naivety and good will, others tried to reject or correct his stubbornness. Killua just sighed, punched him, fought him and accepted him. And finally went wherever Gon went. And was the only one that actually could keep up with him...
When Gon became irrational... buried in his own intense feelings, he...was always there to de-anger him, de-madden him, to return him to his centre. And he just knew when Gon was serious about something and was not changing his mind. And stood behind him.
And trusted blindly Gon's intuitions and gut feelings about missions, contributing with the strategic approach. Backing him up always...
Particularly one last thing made Killua really special.
Gon hated when someone else dared called him stupid or idiot. Gon hated especially when others believed him to be weak. A memory of humiliation... Hisoka's punch crossed in front of Gon's eyes. He clenched his fists. He was not something to be tossed aside. He would prove the world one day he was not something to be tossed aside at all.
Gon suddenly realized he'd incorporated and was pacing furiously. He stopped, remembering what he was doing.
He was waiting...for his friend to arrive. He flopped to the ground again.
And...Well...Killua would never dare to take advantage of his good will because in first place, he would never dare look down on Gon. For the albino it was natural to see Gon as his equal. He actually saw him, unlike many other people who looked down on him for his age or character, who made him feel weak,
…or just simply left...
Gon smiled loosing himself on the sea line far beyond, where the royal blue blurred with the sky. So, that was why Killua was the only one allowed to call Gon an idiot. He could because Gon knew Killua didn't actually think Gon was stupid.
He felt it. He could feel how Killua believed in him. And that was all Gon needed.
He was lucky to have such a friend.
The tanned boy frowned worried. Because he knew the albino was terrible at asking for help. He did not care if his friend got mad. The only thing that mattered really was if Killua was alright… And he'd vowed to protect him at all costs even if the silver haired boy hated him for that heh.
He found himself with his cell phone on his ear.
Beep…
Beep….
Beep…
No answer. He felt disheartened...
And more worried.
NO!
He would call again!
He dialed again the so known number
Beep...
Beep...
Beep...
Silence.
Someone had picked up.
And remained silent...
But then-
"Gon"
It was almost a whisper
"Killua?"
Silence...
"Killua? Is it you?"
There was no reply.
"Are you ok? Where are you?"
But then nothing else.
"Killua?"
The silence at the other end of the line sprung Gon from the ground. And he was running, running. And was about to ask where he should be heading...
"Killua! Where are you? And what happened? Where do I go?" he was growing frantic by the second.
"...too… much… questions..."Killua barely spoke, his voice raspy, almost a whisper.
There was a silence where a string snapped in Gon's chest. He thought Killua would not answer him at all again. But then the albino cleared his voice and said as if nothing.
"...Hey, Cool out... I'm fine."
And then he was talking in his usual casual self, about being in the room both shared, because he needed a nap. You don't nap. Neh He was just horribly tired. No, he was ok. What about his brother? Yeah yeah, nothing interesting. Yes Gon could come to their room to accompany him- he'd like that... but he'd be boring. He would sleep. No, he was fine. No he hadn't had lunch. He had chocolates. Too much. In what moment? Somewhere along the hours. He needed sleep right now.
Gon
That voice. The voice Gon knew so well- a voice that underlyingly was pleading him to ask no more questions.
Gon was already heading there, a bit more calm now but really disconcerted.
He could read Killua's voice clearly from whatever phone across the world. And he would give him what he needed. Be it chocolates, a nap, no questions or whatever. He just needed to check if all was really ok. If he was really fine...
Gon flung the door open moments later. He saw Killua sprawled over the bed. Gon heart was hammering inside his chest. Ok he is here.
He slowly approached the sleeping figure and sat beside him.
Heh" Killua said sleepy
"Hey there" Gon whispered and hesitated... "You... ok"
Concern written on those big honeyed eyes.
"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" Killua chuckled.
He seemed to answer the real question behinds Gon's words. And Killua seemed ok. He seemed in one piece, he had been really sleeping not acting tiredness...
And yet Gon could tell. He was feigning. Something.
"You sure?"
"Aha" Killua yawned.
"What did the blockhead want?"
"Nothing. Stupid stuff I couldn't help with..." he whispered bored.
"Why did you take so long then?" he persisted
"I did?" Killua frowned... "Wow... I don't even feel hunger"
"Cause you ate chocolates right?"
"... Yeah"
"... "Gon was eyeing him "but...you're ok"
"mm-mm" he nodded. Actually nothing bad had happened... and yet...
Gon thought Killua seemed fine... just terribly sleepy...
"Why are you tired then? It's not like you..."
"I..." and Killua stopped staring at nothingness."Well… I really don't know."
"...Ok..." Gon murmured...
He felt silence blanketing the room.
Killua was sprawled on the bed, lying on one side. And somehow he looked so... defeated...
No, it probably was just his paranoid imagination...
Gon mumbled "sorry Killu... I was worried, you know, Illumi gives me the chills. I hate him"
The albino sighed...
"Me too"
He would not admit it. But he loved when he heard stuff like that from Gon. Say more bad things about him Gon. It's amusing... Ah... he needed distraction right now... or sleep...
"Freaky guy" the albino commented
"Seriously. REALLY Freaky duude"
"Totally" Killua whispered smiling. "And we're blood related can you believe? Ugh"
Gon searched his friend's eyes…
They stared at each other for some moments.
He was hiding something.
And Killua knew Gon could tell...
"Ok…. You sleep now" Gon broke the contact resigned. And sat by his side, in a stance that reminded him of a guardian dog.
Killua had been tense and suddenly he seemed to relax against the gesture…
He understood...
He closed his eyes slowly letting himself drown in the wanted blackness... "I'm glad you're here…" Killua mumbled...and moments later he was breathing soundly.
Gon could tell the silver haired had been putting a lot of effort in just keeping himself awake. The boy had indeed been tired. Strange…
Gon was mad at himself.
Others could miss it but he hadn't had his usual tilted smile. Those deep violet eyes reflected something more. Or not?
Are you hiding something?
Gon let himself fall to his back, beside Killua, arms over his head and thought.
He did felt protective. He was mad that just a fleeting meeting had taken all of his power over the situation.
The way Illumi had controlled him on the hunter's exam... all the horrible things he'd said... picturing Illumi wiring Killua to the electricity tests- agh- it made his blood boil...
He observed the pale boy. Even in his dreams he seemed to be burdened with the world.
He had to discuss it… even though they'd hadn't touched the issue... but he had to ask the albino if it was ok if they did not go to Kukulu mountain at the end of the journey. He disliked the idea... and he knew the albino disliked it as well.
He sighed...
And waited.
A/N: revised ;)
Yay! New chapter! I'm sorry if this one only focuses on Gon's thoughts and views, without much action. You'll get more later, I promise ;).
