Killua X Reader [An Endless Bond]

[31] Lurking

As you brisk-walked to the shopping district with Killua, you watched from the corner of your eye as his expression grew progressively more annoyed. 

You couldn't help but chuckle to yourself as you gazed at him. However, before Killua could notice your laugh, you bit your lip though to stop yourself. Soon after, you cleared your throat and faced him.

"If it'll make you feel better, Killua... I can maybe call her or something?" you asked, giving him a small smile.

He met your gaze for a moment, before sighing deeply. "Do whatever you want."

You chuckled to yourself again, before picking up your phone and calling her.

Thankfully, it didn't take too long before she answered. "Oh! Allu–"

"ONEE-CHAN!!!" 

You blinked in surprise at her sudden outburst. "Uh... Alluka...?"

"Don't let Onii-chan know where I am... please? I'm doing okay, I really am!" You could almost imagine her puppy eyes as she said that.

"Well..." you trailed off, gazing at Killua's annoyed look once more as he continued walking forward. "I don't think he'll stop you this time. He just wants to be nearby in case something happens." You paused. "He's really worried, you know?"

Alluka sighs. "Fineeeeee. Tell him I'll be staying in the shopping district! I won't leave," she says. "Then I'll get going, Onee-chan! Bye!!" 

"Oh! Bye!" You reply, right before she hung up. Putting your phone away, you sighed in relief, before facing Killua with a bright smile. "Killua! Alluka's just going to be staying in the shopping district! She won't be going anywhere!" You say, attempting to cheer him up as you stepped closer. 

He looks at you through the corner of his eye. "Geez, she could have just said that instead of sneaking out on her own," he sighed, resting his hands behind his head.

You rolled your eyes. "Come on, Killua. We all know you'd start complaining and worrying about her safety if Alluka actually did that."  

"Like hell I would!" Another irk mark appeared on his forehead, even though he knew perfectly well how right you were.

As soon as you arrived in the district, a certain sign caught your eye immediately. 

"Choco... robos? Killua, I didn't know there was an entire store just for ChocoRobos here," you mused, pointing to the big sign showing Killua's all-time favorite snack. 

He immediately perked up after what you said, following your gaze to the sign you were pointing at. "Oi, are you serious?!" His eyes widened.

"Yeah!" You smiled, watching his expression go from annoyed to excited. As a warm feeling spread across your chest, you tried to contain your smiles. "Wanna check it out?"

He slowly turned to you, blinking a few times as he did so. "Well... but–"

You couldn't help but smile wider, as a cheery laugh escaped your lips. "It'll be fine, Killua! Let's go!" you say, dragging him towards the store. 

"O-Oi, (Y/N)!" he protests, but ends up sighing in defeat.

"Hmm... so aside from the chocolate, you get a free robot when you open this box?" You ask, examining the colorful, robot-like box before you as you sat down on a nearby bench.

Killua nods, sitting beside you and popping a chocolate ball inside his mouth. "Yup, usually, you get one that looks like this." He showed you a small, metallic gray robot. "But sometimes, you can get a gold one. It's pretty rare though," he said, before taking another chocolate ball as a satisfied smile played at his lips.
