Chapter Text
Every once in a while Hisoka would meet up with Illumi at a small bar, usually one that wasn't upscale but was fairly decent. Most of the time it was Hisoka who had either called or texted the raven haired assassin and spend about ten minutes trying to convince him that they should meet up and spend some quality time together. Usually Illumi hung up whenever he realized Hisoka wasn't calling for info or a mission. However sometimes Hisoka got lucky and managed to catch the other's ear.
Today however, things were slightly different. Hisoka had been taking a leisurely stroll when a certain buzz met his ears ad the front of his pants vibrated. Boredly wondering who had texted him he shoved his hand into his front pocket, opened his phone, then brought it to his face. The bright light from the small device had made the magician's fave seem even paler. Slanted eyes widened upon seeing who had texted him and he eagerly read the short text message, going over it twice to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. Illumine had asked to meet him mat the nearest baer andsend him the coordinates. Short and sweet, just to show how antisocial the assassin really was. As Hisoka made his way to the nearest town he pondered just what could be so important that Illumi had reached out to him. His habit caught up to him and he licked his lips, already getting excited.
The sound of the door's chime signaled that someone had entered the bar and Hisoka grinned from his stool. There was no mistaking that familiar aura and Hisoka could hardly contain his creeping smirk. The one and only Illumi Zoldyck huffed then sat on the barstool next to the red head. "You sent me the wrong coordinates." Illumi had the faintest of grows but Hisoka had been in the assassin's company enough to be able to see it and tell the difference from his normally stoic face. "I did? Sorry for the inconvenience, Illumi." The red head couldn't help the sly grin that crawled on his face. "Anyways... What brings you to desire my lovely company?" He asked before giving Illumi the chance to pull out any needles. Illumine gave a silent sigh then shifted in his seat. "How would you get a stubborn lover to show you affection?" Illumi looked at him with large eyes that held confusion and slight doubt. Hisoka raised an eyebrow and smirked. "So, Killua's giving you some trouble, is he now?" Illumi's eyes lowered to his lap and gave a small nod of his head, his long black hair cascading over his back and shoulders.
Hisoka and Gon were the only two people that knew of the siblings' relationship, and thankfully neither seemed to mind.
Hisoka gave a small smirk- trying to lighten the mood"So, you've come to me for advice?" The eldest Zoldyck nodded and Hisoka took a sip of his darkly colored drink. "Well, considering Killua is, well, Killua, I think the first step will be to do little things for him - even if he might not notice." Hisoka concluded with another quiet sip. Illumine tilted his head and it reminded the magician of an owl. "The first step? Theres going to be more?" He questioned. Hisoka shrugged. "Only thing I know is that you can't rush or push things. It's an uphill battle that most people lose- but you love the little brat, right?" Illumi nodded. Even though he didn't think it would be this tedious he was wiling to go through anything.
"The second step is to sneak light touches here and there- it provides a physical reminder of you. Third step is to be blunt and bold but make the actions rare and spread out to give the kid time to think and adjust. The fourth step is to start going out with him- dates, you know? And in the end you just have to let your prey- I mean- your lover to come to you. Make sure that he wants it." Hisoka finally stopped and took a deep breath. "Just use those as guidelines, sometimes you'll get an opportunity that you won't want to miss." Illumine choose to stay silent as his usually gleeful friend seemed rather gloomy. Hisoka placed some jennies on the counter before standing. "Well that's all I've got and I just remembered that Gon is in the next town so... duty calls." Hisoka faked a grin then promptly left, leaving Illumi to drink and dwell.
