This Won't End Well

27: How To Wake-Up Right (highly recommended)

"Brief" recap:
Okay so Retz broke up with Gon over text and Gon just tried to suppress how he was feeling about it. Then Killua moved in and Gon practically annoyed him into being friends. They got into a fight at a grocery store where Gon punched a homophobe, Illumi showed up and was an asshole, Hisoka hit on Gon (of course), Gon and Killua broke into a pool to go night swimming and got chased by a security guard, went to the planetarium, and yeah. And on the side, Kurapika and Gon were fighting a lot over multiple things, namely because Kurapika thought Gon was using Killua to get over Retz. Then, they eventually made up and shit (after a lot of fighting). And after 21 chapters, lots of interruptions, and a whole lot of angry people in my comments, Gon and Killua finally kissed. And then they made pancakes at 3am where Gon promised Killua (who was overthinking and very anxious that Gon was using him or was gonna leave him or that Gon didn't actually like him), that he actually liked him a lot and wouldn't do anything to fuck what they had up. And he says he's going to take him out on a date the next day. The next morning, which is a few hours later, Retz shows up and apologizes to Gon and gives him an explanation why she broke up with him. Then, after asking if he was seeing anyone else and Gon answering no, she asks to get back together with him. She then leaves Gon, who doesn't say yes or no to her offer, but before she does, she tells him that she still loves him, to which Gon doesn't answer either. Then Kurapika and Leorio get home and Gon tells them everything, and they call him out on his bullshit and tell him he needs to tell Killua what happened. Gon then explains he likes them both and doesn't know what to do, but agrees to tell Killua on their date later that night. But, we all know Gon well enough to know that didn't happen. Instead he invited Killua over to meet Kurapika and Leorio during game night and Killua agreed. The date was sickly cute and after a night picnic and dance in the rain, Gon spent the night at Killua's. I think that's where we left off... so here we go ig

The only sign of life in the room was the slow rising and falling of two chests and the soft snores escaping them. Everything else was still, not daring to move and disturb the peace they had created.

Neither of them had had the energy or will to close the blinds the night before, so the gentle heat of the summer morning sun drifted through the glass panes. The room was warm, and the air around them was still, enveloping them.

The sunlight woke Gon first. His eyes opened hazily, scoping out his surroundings. He felt like his body was made of sand that had been soaking in the sun's rays for years. He felt warm and heavy but also safe. He wasn't exactly sure where he was, but that was okay. He felt safe enough that his location wasn't something to worry about. No, worrying would make this euphoric feeling fade, and that would truly be a tragedy.

He let his eyes flutter shut again. He'd worry about where he was whenever he felt like waking up again. And maybe that feeling would never come again. Spending the rest of his life in this room, at this moment, didn't sound half bad. He was safe, comfortable, and happy. What else could he ask for?

A slight mumble came from next to him, causing his eyes to open again. One can only block out reality for so long, after all.

White hair stuck out in every direction from under the covers, and movement caused the bed to shift and creak. The comforter hid his face and the rest of his body, but everything came back to Gon instantly.

He was definitely in Killua's room, sleeping next to him. He knew nothing had happened between the two, so they must have just fallen asleep after rambling last night.

Wait, what time is it? Gon used the very last of his strength to turn and grab his phone on the ground below him. Dead. Well, time is just a construct, anyway.
