Hisoka and Illumi (Ages 17 and 13)

[tokiistheking]

Hisoka's stupid sticky bungee gum was making it's way into Illumi's dreams. The very first time, it had been only a month after Illumi's thirteenth birthday. It was a dark and blurry thing, the dream, and Illumi was trapped once again by Hisoka's gum, tied up around the wrists and the ankles and around his middle. He couldn't move. He had thought

"Giving orders?" Hisoka chuckled, but he did let Illumi free where he was stuck. He kept a few strands of aura attached, though, just in case. That was fairly standard procedure for him, though.

He didn't stop touching his hair, though.

Ah, had Illumi thought he was dead? How touching. How absolutely charming.

"Did you go back to Gas Land to check on me?" Hisoka asked slyly. "Your brother looks nothing like you, by the way."

The brother was just now being declared champion of his match. He wasn't as cute or as strong as Illumi, though. Maybe strong, but... nowhere near as deadly, it seemed.

Illumi seemed perplexed by what Hisoka said. He and Milluki looked exactly alike! They both took so much after their mother. Dark eyes, black hair, pale skin

Milluki huffed as he left the stage. It was too easy and too boring and he wanted to go home already. They had explained to him that he wouldn't be able to come home until he could afford to come home from his winnings, but that there would be a room for him once he got to the hundredth floor. The hundredth! The referee was letting him advance to the 50th now, though, so hopefully he'd make it to the 100th by time he needed to sleep. If not, what was he supposed to do?! He would have nowhere to sleep! He couldn't believe Mama would do this to him

Illumi watched Hisoka 's retreating form, skin prickling on the right side of his face and neck and a little bit of his arm. It was probably because he hated his personal space being invaded so much, Illumi concluded stubbornly, finally looking back to his brother as Hisoka disappeared.

His expression remained disinterested.

"You may go get lunch. Just remember that you should get to Floor 100 before the day is done." he walked with Milluki out if the first floor arena and into the hall. The building was equipped with more than one needed to get by. Illumi lead his brother to the cafeteria area.

"Milluki. You go eat. If you need your big brother you will call. I will be back." he said, patting Milluki on the head before turning away and vanishing much as Hisoka had before him.

It wasn't as if Illumi realized or even registered in his head that Hisoka's suggestion to meet in his room could have... more than friendly connotations. He simply believed that he would like to hear about his associates time at the Heaven's Arena.

Hisoka had just relaxed in his bath when he felt Illumi's aura rising up to his floor. He hadn't expected him so soon. Was he in such a rush to be with Hisoka that he had abandoned his little brother?

Even though he knew Illumi was coming, he sunk lower into the hot water with a sigh, stretching out all of his muscles, all the way down to his toes. Somehow, he found that he had more aches in him after sleeping on a real mattress day after day than when sleeping on rooftops and the like.

There was a knock, and Hisoka rose from the bath, dripping, and wrapped a towel around himself. Water fell around him as he made his way to the door.

"I didn't think you'd be up so soon." Hisoka smirked when he pulled open the door. "You really must have missed me."

He stood back, letting Illumi enter his apartment.
