Gon POV

Killua laid down next to me and stared up at the blue sky, I couldn't help but look at him as he peacefully fell asleep.

I sat under the giant oak tree and took in the beauty of the garden my roommate had brought me to. I checked the time on my phone, 5:47 pm, and decided that it was probably time to head back to the dorm.

I leaned over him and gently shook his arm, Killua woke up opening his icy blue eyes to see me crouching next to him, "G'morning," I teased

"I am so, so sorry," He said apologized sitting up

"Don't worry about it, you were tired, I understand," I said a tint of pink appeared on his cheeks, and I giggled

"Well, do you wanna head back," I asked helping him up

He nodded and we started walking. It wasn't until Killua let go that I realized we had been holding hands, I looked over at him and he had covered his face with his hands but I could see his bright red ears shining through his snow-white hair.

Looking at him I felt my face start to heat up too. We continued the walk back to the dorm in silence and when we finally reached the top floor Killua kicked off his shoes and bolted into his room.

I slipped off my shoes and walked down the hallway, I was about to knock on his door but I decided just to leave him be. I walked into my own room to ponder my feelings.

After I had changed my clothes I ended up just sitting on my bed trying to figure out a small metal hand puzzle. A couple of minutes later a crashing sound came from the hallway, then I heard two muffled voices before my door slammed open followed by a Leorio barging into my room.

I couldn't help but notice Killua standing behind him, I tried to wave to him but he just turned away and re-entered his room.

"Hey, what's wrong," Leorio asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah actually. I feel like Killua hates me now," I could feel my eyes start to get watery but I don't know why.

"Oh? And why is that," My tall friend came and sat next to me on the bed

"Well, earlier, I was helping him with a project and when we left, it turns out we were holding hands," I explained, "He noticed before I did and pulled his hand away, now he's avoiding me,"

Leorio pulled me into a hug, "Just because Killua's avoiding you doesn't mean he hates you," He said

We continued talking for about an hour and then he had to leave. I walked him to the front door and locked it behind him. Before I headed back to my room I decided to grab a glass of water from the kitchen. Turns out I was really tired so I fell asleep leaning against the counter. The next thing I knew, I woke up with a sleeping Killua nuzzled into my chest with his arms around me.

A sea of blush flooded onto my face. I reached to cover my face but my arms were around his neck so to calm myself down I started to play with his hair.

Killua's hair is really soft and fluffy, almost like what you'd imagine a cloud to feel like.

A few minutes later he woke up and I could feel his face start to heat up through the fabric of my shirt, "G'morning," I said in a cheerful tone of voice

"G-good morning,"

"So, how'd you sleep," I asked trying to make conversation, but I could tell this situation was too awkward

I heard him say something quietly but I couldn't quite make out the words he was saying. I continued to play with his hair because I had nothing better to do, I mean all of my classes were in the afternoon so what's the harm of laying here for a bit longer.

I enjoyed this little 'bonding moment' we're having. I could tell he did too.

Killua POV

It had been a few weeks since that little moment happened and Gon is even more clingy than before. He'll lean against my shoulder while I draw and he's come to class with me a couple of times too, Bisky doesn't even care.

"Hey Killua," Gon said walking into my room, "Leorio's having a party tomorrow night at his house do you wanna come with me,"

"He has a house?" I asked

"Yeah, but that's beside the point will you come," He asked

"Will there be alcohol,"

"Obviously," He said

"No,"

"What, aww come on why not," He pouted

Gon flopped onto my bean bag chair resting his head on my knee, "I don't do alcohol, plus we're underage," I said

"Well that second thing makes sense but why don't you do alcohol," He asked

"Uh- personal reasons," I said

"Ok, how about this you can be the designated driver," He reasoned

"I can't argue with that, but I'm not going in," I said

"But whyyyyy," He complained grabbing

"I don't do well with large crowds,"
