CHAPTER 21 | UNFORSEEN POSSIBILITY

#########################

(y/n)'s P.O.V.:

The raw, bright sunlight touched my skin, and cold wind blew over my face. Slowly, I opened my tired eyes, and I gained back a clearer vision gradually, after a few seconds. I looked around and realized that I'm in my and Riesha's bedroom. Moving my gaze, I turned my body around, and felt that someone was hugging me. Underneath the blanket I have on right now, I saw male's arm is around my waist as I felt someone’s breath on my nape. It was Killua.

Then, everything that happened yesterday evening came back to me. My heart rapidly pounded so hard and loud, to the point where Killua could possibly hear it. I could feel my face warm up so bad, I felt like fainting. Especially when his last words came back to me before I lost consciousness.

"Let's get married, or when we're 20 or something. After that, we'll continue."

Did he just ask me to marry him that night?! Holy crap. I squint my eyes closed in embarrassment, still confused of these mixed emotions of excitement and nervousness.

"Good morning, (y/n)." A very familiar voice greeted me from behind, as he wrapped both of his arms around me. He snuggled softly on my back, and felt his chest upon my skin of my back. His voice and touch calmed me down somehow, and I smiled secretly.

"Good morning, Killua." I greeted back, as I turned around and faced the silverette with a smile. As I expected, his face is very flustered and red as well, same with mine. There was an awkward silence between us while hugging each other, and so I decided to break that deafening silence.

"Yesterday evening...was great. It was an amazing experience, but I also feel guilty that I kinda forced you to do it... So, I'm sorry too." I stated in a weak voice, almost like a whisper. This is too embarrassing...!

Killua chuckled, and planted a kiss on my forehead. "Don't be sorry, (y/n). It's alright. It's not that I entirely don't want it too..." A blush appeared on his cheeks, adorably confessing his feelings as well. He's so cute.

"About what you said last night..." I trailed off, kinda hesitant on bringing it up. "Were you serious when you said you wanted to marry me?" Almost magically, I was able to make those words out of my mouth without stammering or such. Just imagining myself and this boy on a wedding in the near future...My heart aches in this overwhelming emotions.

"Yes, I am." He simply replied with a tender smile on his lips, as his eyes stared down at me, almost drowning me in his gaze.

"Well, then...okay—I will marry you." I grinned sweetly, and Killua's reaction was priceless. He widened his eyes, and then smiling afterwards. He has this very precious look on his face, which melted my heart immediately. He lifted up his hand, and held his pinky finger up.

"Promise?" The assassin giggled a bit at his childish action, but it was too adorable to not smile and just be happy at the moment.

"Promise." I raised my pinky finger as well, and intertwined mine with his as we grinned at each other. A few seconds later, those grins disappeared as we shared another kiss. My heart started beating faster again, and my body getting warm despite the cool atmosphere. His hands cupped my face, bringing me deeper into the kiss. Our tongues fought, and he won for dominance. It was one hell of a kiss.

It was a blissful moment for me. Everything was perfect, the cool air and the silent morning greeting us to another day, and now that I'm with my most favorite person, whom I love with my whole being.

However, that pretty fantasy was vanquished but the bitter reality-a reality wherein I need to face Astra and solve all of the tragedy she's causing. I don't want to see anyone die, be in pain, and sad just because I am here in hiding.

I need to end this. Even if it means being separated with this man in front of me. It'll definitely hurt, yes. It'll also probably break my promise to him. But it is a sacrifice I am willing to make. That's why I'm savoring every moment with Killua. I'm just hoping for a miracle where I can still see him again after this storm...if it's still possible.

We broke off the kiss, panting shortly afterwards. We stared at each other's eyes, and smiled. He lastly planted a kiss on my forehead, and whispered a simple "I love you" in my ears. I love you more, Killua.

Killua sat up and started to put his clothes back on. I sat up as well, and covered my upper body with the blanket I have on me. I completely forgot I am almost naked... Killua too with his boxers only on... Ugh, curse these naughty thoughts.

He also handed me my clothes, with his cheeks still blushing and his face all red. "I tried my best to hold back," He murmured as he sat slowly beside me after giving me my garments back.

"I gotta say, you kinda pushy and aggressive yesterday," He stated faintly, making me blush at his statement. "Also, you were loud and very desperate..." Killua remarked in a way that was enough to make me embarrassed as I recall how I really sounded yesterday evening. S-Stop teasing me, Killua...damn it.

"W-What can I do, it was my first time... And everything was new to me. I didn't mean to push you to do anything or something..." I hid my face in embarrassment, remembering what I had done to him, and what I had demanded him to do. Yeah, it was kinda my fault yesterday...my bad.

Killua deeply exhaled, and crawled towards me. He lifted my face to him with his fingers, giving me a short kiss on my lips. He looked at me tenderly, and pinched my cheeks with a mischievous grin plastered on his soft lips.

"If you continue that attitude after we're married, I think we're gonna have more than 5 children, (y/n)." He teasingly remarked as he stood up. My face blew a fuse and my hands automatically threw a pillow at the male.

"S-Shut u-up!" I yelled furiously, as my heart pounded loudly. He caught the pillow in his hands, and glanced at me with a smug look. He...!

"I don't mind though." He winked at me threw the pillow back at me. I caught it—luckily—and before I could react to his reply, he got out of the room. Tsk, he's playing with my emotions again.

"W-Where are you g-going?!" I shouted from inside the room, trying to communicate with him as he went out.

"I'm gonna cook something for my fiancé!" He responded so loud that I was worried that Gon and Riesha would hear him.

"I'm not your fiancé yet, baka." I whispered to myself, smiling as I put my clothes on.

But I really do hope that it comes true someday, Killua.

After taking a short bath, I returned to my room, and took out new clothes for me to wear. I also grabbed a new towel and dried my wet hair in front of a mirror with a towel still wrapped around to cover my body.

All of the sudden, my vision became all blurry and it felt the world is turning around. I lost balance, and I fell on the floor with a loud thud. I was a bit paralyzed and few of my limbs felt numb, as I try to get back up. I heard fast footsteps approaching the room, guessing it maybe Killua.
