From Whence We Go To

Special Chapter: Make a Mess

Reader's POV

Lots of flowers, candy and chocolate came in the mail from teachers and fellow students from school. I gladly accepted the flowers, while Pinky and the Brain(Killua and Alluka) ate all the candy happily.

I gently slipped each rose into a vase, admiring each ones beauty. I hummed a small song while I did my work. After I was done, I filled the vase with water, and gently set it down on the table.

"Y/n-nee! What are ya doing?" I heard a familiar excited voice behind me. I turned around and was happy to see Alluka. "Ah, Alluka, there you are." I patted her head.

"Yup! Did you need me for something?" She asked innocently, tilting her head. I was a bit surprised that she didn't make any "Killua X Y/n" comments on Valentines Day. Weird. I nodded. "Yes... Could you tell your brother that I need his help making chocolate?"

Alluka grinned widely, and she snickered like a cat. "Hehehe... And after that I'll leave you two alone... But I better hear some genuine romance~!" I chuckled and replied honestly. "Oh, don't worry. You will." She pumped her fist into the air and ran upstairs, quicker than I've ever seen her.

I took this free time to get out some bowls and brownie and cookie mix. Just as I was about to open up the brownie mix, I felt a hand on my butt. I let out a short scream, covered my backside and turned around, blushing fiercely. "Killua..." I growled. The silver haired, ice blue eyed 15-year old smiled at me. "Hey, baby! Look at you, all beautiful and ready for Valentines Day!"

I spun on my heels, facing him. "You know it's a good thing you're pretty. Otherwise, I'd have to suffocate you." His lovely smile didn't budge. "What are you gonna suffocate me with~? If it's with that ass, or that chest, then I don't mind at all."

I narrowed my e/c eyes at him. "You're disgusting."

"You're sexy."

"Shut up and help me!" I snapped. Killua just kept smiling and kissed my cheek. "Did you like my gifts, y/n?" Yesterday, Killua had gotten me a plethora of presents for Valentines Day. Clothes, necklaces, flowers, candy, chocolate. He didn't get me any today because he wanted to spend the whole day with his Valentine. "Y-yes... I liked them very much. I'm sorry I didn't get you anything..."

"Nononononono, it's okay! Just being with you is more than enough of a gift." Killua wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled into my neck, purring heartily. I could feel my neck vibrating. I smiled and hugged him back, kissing his neck softly. "Thank you, Killua..."

"I love you, y/n."

"I love you too, Killua."

After a few more minutes of hugging, we pulled away and I started my explanation. "I wanted to make some brownies and cookies for all three of us!" I started excitedly. I tied up my h/c hair and rolled up my sleeves. Then I got out a few candies. Hershey's Kisses, heart shaped message candies, pink red and white sprinkles, etc. "I wanted your opinion on what to decorate..."

Killua rolled up his sleeves happily. I could almost see the cat-like smirk on his face. "Alright! I call brownie making!" I sweatdropped and stared at him intensely. "Promise you won't eat the batter...?" Killua stared back at me with an expression that made someone believe that I'd grown two heads. "Of course not! I love chocolate so much that I would blow up a candy store for it, but I can wait if that's what makes you happy." He pecked me on the lips quickly. "Trust."

I sighed hopelessly and nodded. We tore open the packets and dumped the mixes into our bowls. I looked at the instruction part. "Hm... Two tablespoons of vegetable oil... One egg..." I looked over to my fiancé. "Killua, could you get me the eggs and the oil?"

After I placed them into the bowl, I started to mix the batter steadily. After one minute, I felt something cold fly onto my cheek. I wiped it away and found it to be brownie dough. I glared at Killua beside me, and I found his finger in his mouth. "Killua!!" I yelled. "You promised you wouldn't eat the batter?!"

"A cook needs to taste his food!" He protested.

"That's the dumbest argument I've ever heard! Not only did you break a promise, you put your damn finger in the batter! Am I supposed to eat a piece of you in the brownies?!" I scooped a bit of cookie dough and flung it at his nose. I heard him growl angrily and roughly wipe it off. Then he lunged at me, smearing the dough on my cheeks.

Eventually it turned into a crazy scuffle with the two of us rolling around the kitchen, getting chocolate on almost everything. When I tried to stand up, he pulled me back down onto the floor and vice versa.

Our lips brushed each other a few times, and yeah we blushed, but that didn't stop our scuffle. Sometimes we rolled back into the kitchen to get more chocolate or cookie dough to smear onto each other.

Killua finally managed to stand up without me pulling him back down, so I did the only humane thing and clung onto his leg like a monkey. I shut my eyes, bracing myself for whatever he tried to grow at me. I opened one eye when it never came. Then I opened the other. I looked up at Killua and saw him staring into the kitchen without blinking.

What the hell was he staring at...? I wondered as I followed his gaze into the kitchen. I loosened my grip on his leg when I saw it.

It was like a dog tracking mud into the house. Chocolate was smeared all over the floor, there was some on the walls, and most of it... Was on Killua and I. He looked down at me, and I looked up at him. I slowly cracked a smile, my anger forgotten. He lifted a hand to his mouth, hiding his laughter.

And after a few seconds, we both bursted into laughter. Neither of us knew why. We just kept laughing. I let go of his leg at some point, and he helped me up to my feet, all while laughing...

When it finally died down, Killua crashed his lips upon mine rather roughly. Surprised, yet willing, I kissed him back, running my hands through his soft silver hair. Killua grabbed my hips and pulled me closer. I pulled away abruptly, gasping for air. Killua just laughed lightly and kissed my cheek. "I love you, my sweet Valentine."

"I love you too, my Valentine." I replied, tapping his nose lightly. He scanned the room once and looked back at me, smiling. "Wanna clean up?" I nodded.

So, we cleaned up the living room, having more fun than we did making the brownies and cookies. Sure, Killua slapped my butt a few times while we were cleaning, but I kissed his cheek anyway. After the living room and kitchen were spotless, I placed the brownies and cookies into their pans and cookie sheets and placed them in the oven.

Pretty soon, the entire house was engulfed in the pleasant aroma of sweets.

Of course, Killua and I washed ourselves off, and changed into new clothes. Keep your shirts on; we showered separately!

And when that was done, we went  back downstairs to check on the cookies and brownies. But we saw something sort of unexpected instead.

"Alluka! Put the bowl down!" Killua exclaimed when he saw his sister snacking on the cookie dough and brownie batter left inside their bowls. Traces of each dessert was on her cheeks. She snapped her head around, blushing fiercely with embarrassment. She yelled out angrily,

"DON'T JUST MEEEE!"
