Eat shit, drink piss, and go get yo self some candy bros

Groggily sitting up, you moved your hand up to rub your eyes. Yawning before half heartedly grumbling, "Hey, Illu.."

"Ah, good you are not fighting." Illumi's eyes never left you. Observing your every movement, "I was afraid I would have to subdue you."

You just shrugged your shoulders. Letting your arm fall back down to your side. Glancing at the black cat sleeping peacefully next to Illumi.

The traitor.

"I'm not dumb enough to try and fight a Zoldyck."

"That is debatable, Y/n."

"Are you attempting to joke, or is this a direct insult?"

Illumi just stared.

So, logically, you stared back.

Eventually, you had to blink—a feature he seems not to possess.

"You're just as quiet as you were in the chat." You noted, tilting your head at him. "If not more so."

"Is that an issue, Y/n?"

You shook your head, "Not at all. A good contrast to Hisoka's constant blabbering."

Talking about Hisoka, you're glad he did continue blabbering. If you had waited any longer to get information from him, you would've been screwed.

But, even if unreliable, he did give you some advice on Illumi. Better than nothing, right?

Unsurprisingly, Illumi took that as allowance to not respond.

The silence wasn't as awkward as you assumed it'd be. Instead rather.. comforting, almost? Chrollo was always talking to you, or having you talk to him. Hisoka was the same.

God, it's felt like forever since you were first captured. Which, while logical since you first officially met Hisoka in chapter 26, and it's been ten chapters, it hadn't even been a month.

Chrollo only had you since chapter 30, or four to five days. And you were unconscious for two of those days.

Now you felt a bit bad for leaving so soon. But the feeling quickly passed.

"Can I touch your cat?" You asked, well aware that the Zoldyck's rules would be far stricter than Chrollo's.

"He will most likely consume your hand whole." A risk you were willing take, "You may touch me though."

You blinked a few times, looking up at him before laughing softly. Leaning your head back against his chest.

"You're so awkward, I love you."

"Awkward?" Illumi asked, blinking for what was likely the first time this year, "How so?"

"It's not an issue, Illumi. I find it endearing." You would've said cute, but he would've questioned that more.

You welcomed the following silence. Letting your eyes slip shut as you rested against his chest. He was surprisingly warm, compared to his cold demeanor.
