They were laying on top of a cliff above the ocean at Whales Island again. They were looking up at the pretty night sky full of stars and the beautiful moon that brought everything together.
"Hey Gon?"
"Yeah?" Gon answered while turning his head to face Killua
"Why did you become my friend?"
Killuas been meaning to ask this ever since Gon saved him from the Zoldyck Estate. He still remembers when he first heard that Gon had made it through the main entrance, and when he heard he made it past Canary. He was so happy to hear that Gon cared about him enough to come and save him from his home, and how he looked past the incident that happened during the Hunter Exam.
"Well when I found out we were both the same age I wanted to be friends with you." Gon answered
"oh"
Thats it? He only wanted to be friends because they were the same age.
"And I thought you were really cool with your skateboard, and how you drank Tonpas laced soda without a reaction, and how you passed all the phases of the exam with ease, and how cool your hair was, and how it complemented your eyes, and h-" he was cut off by Killuas hand covering his eyes and mouth. Gon could still see Killua through the space in-between his fingers. Killuas cheeks were a cherry red it complemented his pale skin; he was so pretty in Gons eyes.
"You're so embarrassing!" Killua said moving his hand from Gons face.
"How?! you're the one who wanted to know why I became your friend. And I was just saying how I thought you were really cool."
"uh- you're so embarrassing!"
"Whatever it's my turn to ask why you became my friend" Gon said looking back up to the sky.
'because of your beauty and your heart' Killua said to himself wanting to say it aloud to see the other boy's reaction to his confession maybe he felt the same too.
"Because I thought it was cool that you could keep up with me during the exam and how cool your skills with that fishing rod were... and I thought you looked very pretty and caring" he said that last part very quietly.
"What was the last part I couldn't hear you?"
"It was nothing! Don't worry about it!"
"Awww, come on Killuaaa tellll meee"
"Not my fault you didn't hear.''
"Killuuaaa telll mee pleaassee"
"Fine I said I thought you looked pretty and caring" he said again a bit louder this time.
"Say it louder I can barely hear you pleassee Killuaa" Gon reaches his arm out and shakes Killuas shoulder a little
" I said I thought you looked pretty, and you seemed like you would care about me."
Gons face got flushed.
"You thought I was pretty?"
"Yeah, but you make it sound like a weird think!"
"I thought you were pretty too."
"I could tell when you started complementing about how my hair and eyes look pretty together." he only realized that when Gon said he thought he was pretty.
"I was also going to tell you how your smiles really pretty and everything you wear looks good on you, but you covered my mouth before I could."
Killua covered his face with his hands in embarrassment.
"You're so embarrassing you know that!" he said taking his hands off his face, Gon just gave a light laugh in response.
Killua turned his head to look at Gon. He could see the stars in his eyes, and how they twinkled. He could see that Gons eyes turned darker, so it made the stars seem so much prettier. One thing about Gon is his eyes change from a light brown to a dark brown in dark lighted places. The moons light effected the way Gons tanned skin looked, it looked so smooth so pretty.
Eventually Killua stopped looking at the other boy and sat up, when Gon saw him sit up he did to still looking up at the sky. Slowly Killua moved closer to Gon and laced their fingers, he felt happy when he felt Gon squeeze their hands together.
"The moon is beautiful tonight" Killua said.
"It is... I love you too Killua"
Killua leans over and gives Gon a kiss on the cheek. Gon turns his head to face Killua, him and Killua just look at each other for a few seconds, Then Killua leans in and places his lips on Gons, Gon kisses back but then he could feel the others going aways very quickly. Gon opens his eyes to look at Killua.
"Sorry I should have asked you first... sorry if I made you uncomfortable."
"No, it's ok ... can you do that again?"
"Kiss you again?"
"Yeah, if you're ok with."
Once again Killua leans in and places his lips on Gons, using his spare hand to cup Gons face. They both felt fireworks go off in their hearts, their stomchs turning, heads getting light. Killua pulls away and kisses Gons cheeks, nose, and forehead.
"We should probably go back to the house its late" Killua says.
"ok"
They walk back to the house hand in hand.
