(A/N: Alright, as promised, here's Chapter Seven!! I hope you guys like it, a lot of stuff goes on! But anywhoozles, onward!!!)

~~THE NEXT MORNING~~

Killua awakened first and groggily made his way to the bathroom. He noticed Y/N's door slightly ajar on his way, and decided to take a peek in and check on her. She seemed to be deep within a dream, looking peaceful while wrapped in warm blankets. Killua gave the sight a small smile before continuing on across the hall. After finishing up in the bathroom, Killua went to exit and met with with a pair of familiar hopeful eyes.

"Morning, Killua!" the owner of them greeted brightly.

"Eh... Morning, Gon." Killua replied.

Gon simply stared back at him with a smile wider than usual, if that was even possible. Killua felt slightly uncomfortable under his best friend's intense gaze and quickly made his way toward his room, assuming Gon might just have to use the bathroom for something. Gon eagerly followed. Sensing the presence behind him, Killua turned around to see Gon's bright face, smiling as big as ever. Killua shifted awkwardly.

"Eh... Did you want something, Gon?" he asked.

"Are you coming downstairs?" Gon inquired back.

"Yeah, sure. I'll be down soon." Killua replied.

"Alright! Meet me in the living room. We can wait for Y/N to wake up together!" Gon said excitedly before hurrying down the steps, leaving a confused Killua in the upstairs hall.

Killua shrugged before heading into his guest room to change clothes.

He went to join Gon on the three-seated couch in the living room. After a few minutes of awkward silence and Gon anxiously keeping watch on the stairs, Killua decided to turn the TV on. Moments later, the stairs creaked under the pressure of someone descending them. Gon instantly perked up, but then relaxed after discovering who it was. Leorio yawned loudly while reaching the bottom step. Killua had his focus on the TV program as Leorio entered the room. The elder man took a seat in the recliner. After a few moments, he noticed Gon's gaze of determination aimed towards the stairs.

"Oi, Gon... waiting for something?" Leorio asked him.

Gon didn't break his concentration.

"Y/N." he answered without breaking his stare at the steps.

'Oh, he's probably just hungry for breakfast, then.' Leorio thought.

"You know, you don't have to wait for her. We've got cereal in the pantry. Some milk in the fridge." Leorio informed him, while leaning back in his chair.

'Oh, is that why he's waiting for her? To make us breakfast?' Killua thought.

He smiled at his friend.

"Come on, Gon. Let's fix something to eat." Killua said before heading to the kitchen.

"Oh... Alright." Gon replied before following.

They each made a bowl of cereal and began to eat together in the dining room. Killua couldn't help but notice that Gon seemed distracted.

"Everything okay, Gon?" Killua asked before eating a spoonful.

"Hmm? Yeah, everything's fine!" Gon replied while rubbing the back of his neck.

They continued to eat in silence, while Gon was deep in thought. He realized he didn't have an actual plan on how to help Killua.

'He's always counted on me, I can't let him down!' Gon thought worriedly.

The boys put their empty bowls in the sink and headed back to the living room, still only Leorio present. Killua let Gon pick the show on TV as Gon gave up on watching the stairs since he didn't know what to do once Y/N came down anyway. He settled on a show and allowed himself to get lost within the antics and adventures of the fictional hero.

~~~~~~~

Y/N slowly opened her eyes, her eyelids still feeling so heavy. She very ungracefully flopped over on her other side. She then grew curious of what time it was, and forced herself to open her eyes once more, her eyelids feeling like they weighed 80 pounds each. The shock of seeing how late it was jolted her awake, but her body still felt a bit sluggish. She made her way out of bed and gathered some clothes to take with her to the bathroom. She opened her bedroom door to find Kurapika walking by, with clothes folded neatly in his arms. He looked up at her and froze.

"Oh, good morning, Y/N. You can go first." he said while taking a step back, allowing her to pass.

Y/N let out a small yawn.

"Morning, Kurapika. I won't be long." she replied before walking toward the bathroom.

Kurapika smiled and gave a slight nod before heading back to his guest room to wait. Y/N showered quickly and dressed, as to not make Kurapika wait too long. She made her way into her room and what she saw in the mirror almost made her shriek in horror.

Kurapika left his door open so he could hear when Y/N exited the bathroom. When he made his way to down the hall, Y/N's door was already closed. He shut the bathroom door behind him and placed his folded clothes down before turning on the shower.

Y/N's mouth was agape as she stared at her reflection. Her h/c hair was sticking up in about every direction, about the messiest as she had ever seen it. After staying up so late with Kurapika, she guessed she had slept a little too good, and a bit wild.

'Kurapika just saw me like this!!' she mentally panicked, reaching for her hairbrush and comb.

She spent a while trying the tame the wild bird's nest of hair atop her head. By the time she felt presentable, Kurapika was finished with the toilet, his shower, dressing, and his own hair, and they met up in the hallway before going downstairs. Y/N felt suddenly awkward as she descended the stairs after Kurapika, still remembering he had seen her while her hair was a complete mess, though she was slightly confused on why she cared so much. She shook the confusion away as she entered the living room and greeted the boys who were already there.

"Y/N!!" Gon exclaimed happily as she entered the room.

"You don't have to worry about making breakfast, we already ate." Killua informed her.

Y/N was relieved that she didn't have to cook, still feeling a bit tired. She made her way to the kitchen to make herself something simple as well, settling on cereal also. Kurapika followed her into the kitchen. Y/N noticed Kurapika looked a bit tired too. She poured him a bowl a cereal and milk, and headed into the dining room with both bowls.

"Thank you." Kurapika said, while taking his usual seat at the table.

This time, Y/N sat where Gon usually does, right across from Kurapika. They ate in silence, both still too sleepy to try to spark up conversation, but Kurapika enjoyed the company.

After eating, the two returned to the group in the living room. Y/N took a seat by Killua and Gon while Kurapika sat alone on the two-seat couch. After a while, Killua noticed both Kurapika and Y/N struggling to stay awake. While Y/N was resting her eyes and Kurapika let out a small yawn, Killua decided to mention it.

"You guys seem really tired." he pointed out.

"Yeah, we stayed up really late." Y/N replied sleepily.

"Doing what?" Killua asked, suddenly very curious.

"Oh, all kinds of things..." Y/N replied simply.

Killua's eyes widened in shock and panic.

"W-what kinds of things?!" Killua exclaimed, a tad too loud.

Kurapika's eyes shot open, and he blushed from his side of the room, understanding what Killua was assuming. Y/N thought for a second, before responding.

"We played a card game, watched some movies, talked, ate junk food. It was nice." Y/N said while stretching.

Killua quickly glanced at Kurapika, who still had a light blush and was avoiding eye contact.

"Oh. Well, maybe you should get more rest. You look too tired to even function." Killua told Y/N playfully, which caused her to giggle.

"That sounds like a good idea..." Y/N said before standing up.

"Let me know if you guys need anything though." Y/N finished, hesitating before making her leave.

"Nah. Don't worry. I'm pretty sure we can handle it." Killua replied, giving her a reassuring smile.

After making sure Y/N had gone upstairs, Killua decided he wanted more details about last night, wondering if anything else went on.

"Hey, Kurapika-" he started, but noticed Kurapika was already asleep across the room.

"Never mind." he muttered before turning his attention to Gon.

"Hey Gon, there's an awesome arcade nearby, wanna go?" he asked.

"Yeah!!" Gon answered, eyes glowing with excitement.

"Hey, old man. Gon and I are going to hang out around town, we'll be back later." Killua told Leorio.

"That's fine- OI!! I'M NOT AN OLD MAN!!" Leorio insisted.

"Yeah, yeah. We should be back after your grandpa nap." Killua retorted before heading out the door with Gon.

They walked toward the arcade, and Killua remembered to stop by the candy shop first. He ordered some of Y/N's favorite chocolates for him and Gon before proceeding next door to the arcade, where they played for hours.

~~~~~~~

Gon and Killua started making their way back to Leorio's, discussing all the fun games they played on the way. They entered the house and made their way to the living room, where Kurapika was now awake and reading a book. Y/N had awoken about an hour ago, deciding not to rest too much, as it would mess up her sleeping schedule. Instead she relaxed a while in bed, but awake. She heard the front door close, so she made her way down the stairs, but remembering to check her hair in her mirror beforehand. She sat down next to Killua and Gon on the three-seater.

"Did you guys go somewhere?" she asked the boys.

"Yeah, we went to that candy shop and arcade for a few hours." Killua answered.

"Oh, did you like it, Gon?" Y/N asked the excitable boy.

"Yeah! It was awesome! We got the chocolates you like and they were really good!" Gon responded happily, which made Y/N smile.

"Where's Leorio?" Killua asked.

"Oh, I heard him snoring when I passed by his room on my way down." Y/N answered.

"Ha! He really did take that grandpa nap, I knew it!" Killua exclaimed, which caused Y/N to giggle.

Her brother really did look old. The two locked eyes, and held the gaze for a few moments, while an idea sparked in Gon's mind. Gon suddenly got up from the couch.

"Hey, Kurapika! Can you help with something, it's really important!" he said while approaching the blond boy.

Kurapika looked up from his book.

"What is it, Gon?" he asked.

Gon leaned over to Kurapika's ear.

"I think I lost the gift Y/N gave me, I really need to find it, or she'll be really mad!" Gon whispered to him.

Kurapika closed his book.

"Where did you last see it?" Kurapika whispered back.

"I think it's somewhere in my guest room, come on!" Gon said, while taking Kurapika by the arm to lead him upstairs.

Gon took one last glance at Killua and Y/N before heading up with Kurapika.

Killua quickly noticed that they were alone. He realized he didn't know when the next time they'd be alone would be, so he decided it was now or maybe never. He quickly looked at Y/N, while his heart raced with nervousness.

"Um... Y/N... I-I had a really good time yesterday, I mean, with you, and I was wondering, if you wanted, if you...W-will you be my girlfriend?" Killua stuttered out in one breath, then quickly held it in nervous anticipation to her response.

Y/N was shocked and flustered, while a blush crept to her cheeks. She hadn't really thought about it, but couldn't find any reason to decline.

"Sure." she responded with a nervous smile before looking down in embarrassment.

Killua's eyes widened at her answer, surprised but definitely happy.

~~~~~~~

"What does it look like, Gon?" Kurapika asked after getting to Gon's guest room.

"It's a stuffed puppy plush, it's black and brown and has-"

"Like this?" Kurapika interrupted, with a plushie in his hand.

Gon nervously sweat-dropped.

"Y-yeah, that's the one! Thanks, Kurapika!" Gon responded, taking the plush from him.

'Sorry, Killua... I hope that was enough time. Kurapika found it pretty quickly...' Gon thought.

"Let's head back downstairs." Kurapika suggested while leaving the room.

He wanted to hurry back to Killua and Y/N, he still didn't quite trust Killua alone with her.
When they returned to the living room, Kurapika noticed a definite change in atmosphere. Y/N was looking away with a slight blush, looking as if something was on her mind, and Killua... he just kept glancing at Y/N with a big smile.

~~TIME SKIP: A FEW DAYS~~

It was now known knowledge to everyone but Leorio that Killua and Y/N were dating. Kurapika mostly kept to himself, busying himself with reading in the corner, but keeping an eye on the two, mostly on Killua. He was really annoyed about the whole situation but didn't really know who to blame, so he just stayed mad at himself. The two now even slept in Y/N's room, no doubt Killua's idea, but always after Leorio went to sleep, and Killua always made sure to return to his guest room before Leorio awoke. Gon, however, couldn't be happier. He was ecstatic that he helped his friends be together, and he enjoyed seeing how happy Killua was.

~~~~~~~

It was evening and Leorio had gone up to bed. The rest of the group were in the living room, Kurapika reading in the recliner chair, Gon seated in the three-seater and beaming at the couple, and Killua and Y/N on the two seater, Killua's arm around Y/N shoulders. Killua waited a few moments before turning to Y/N.

"Do you wanna go up to bed?" Killua asked her, which also meant him going with her. Kurapika irritatedly turned the page of his book, avoiding looking at them.

"Hmm.. No... I was thinking about maybe having a game night. What do you think? Gon? Kurapika?" Y/N asked.

Y/N felt she'd been spending all her time with Killua lately and wanted to have some fun with her other friends.

"Okay, I'm down." Killua said, then placed a kiss on her forehead.

Kurapika looked up from his book just in time to see it. He immediately went back to reading.

"That sounds like fun!" Gon said.

"Kurapika?" Y/N said while flashing said boy a hopeful smile.

He looked up at her and his irritated mood drifted away. He placed his book down then looked back at Y/N.

"Sure." he responded, causing an excited squeal to escape from Y/N.

"I'll go grab some!" she said before heading down the hall. Kurapika and Killua's eyes followed Y/N as she left the room, their stares still lingering on the doorway she exited through.

After a couple moments, Killua noticed Kurapika doing the same, and gave the blond a hard stare. Kurapika sighed, defeatedly, and backed off. Before the tension could rise even more, Y/N returned with a few board games stacked in her arms.

"Alright, we've got Takeover, Apologies!, Scramble, and WhoKnow." (A/N: Monopoly, Sorry!, Scrabble, and Uno.) Y/N explained, after placing the mentioned games on the floor.

After making sure everyone knew how to play, they began the games. They played a round of Scramble (Kurapika won.), Apologies! (Gon won.), and several rounds of WhoKnow, where everyone won at least once. They saved Takeover for last.

Kurapika realized something throughout the games that thoroughly irritated him.

'Killua can't keep his hands off her. He literally cannot refrain from touching her for more than a few seconds.' he had thought to himself.

Even then while Y/N was setting up Takeover, Killua had his arm around her waist. While playing Takeover for a while, Kurapika tried to ignore it.

It was his turn to roll the dice, he rolled eight total, but noticed his piece was too far from him on the board to reach.

"Y/N, can you move mine eight spaces?" Kurapika asked her.

Y/N broke from Killua's grasp to lean over and move Kurapika's piece. Upon finishing and sitting back, Killua took her hand and moved it up to his lips, causing her to blush and smile. Kurapika mentally sighed.

'She seems happy enough.' he thought to himself as the game went on.

~~TIME SKIP: A FEW DAYS~~

Everyone had just finished dinner. Y/N made a huge and delicious meal that everyone loved. After dessert, everyone gathered back into the living room, and Gon turned the TV on.

"I'm stuffed." mumbled Leorio.

It didn't take long for him to fall asleep in his reclining chair. Gon and Y/N were absorbed by the show, Killua was more interested in watching Y/N and Kurapika was reading the new book he grabbed earlier that day. Killua couldn't hold back any longer, as he pushed a few strands of hair behind Y/N's ear and leaned in. The kiss was sweet but interrupted by Y/N suddenly pulling back.

"Killua! Leorio's in here!" she said in a harsh whisper.

Killua casually glanced at the sleeping Leorio before turning back to Y/N.

"He sleeps like a rock, don't worry. What's with all the secrecy about us anyway?" Killua wondered, actually only referring to Leorio.

"He's just... Really overprotective." Y/N answered, avoiding eye contact with Killua.

Killua smiled and nodded his understanding. He didn't really care, he was just happy to be with her. A pair of eyes from across the room observed the whole exchange over the top of a book. (A/N: Not Leorio, he's sleeping, there's only one person in here who's reading a book.)

Killua and Y/N decided to head up to bed, Kurapika and Gon soon followed. Gon woke Leorio up to tell him to head up to his room to sleep. After reaching his room, Kurapika decided to use the toilet before heading to sleep. He noticed that the bathroom door was closed, but heard the toilet flush, so he decided to wait in the hall for it to become vacant. He noticed Y/N's bedroom door half open and glanced in to see a shirtless Killua in pajama pants, laying back on the bed. A moment later the bathroom door opened and Y/N emerged without Kurapika noticing.

"Good night, Kurapika." Y/N said.

"Good ni-" Kurapika started while looking her way but was caught off guard by what she was wearing.

It was a simple night gown but much shorter than the ones she usually wore. He regained his composure but couldn't hide his blush, and wished her a good night before heading into the bathroom. After finishing up, he headed back to his guest room and laid on his bed, thinking about how lucky that white-haired bastard is.

~~~~~~~

Y/N shut the door behind her after entering her room, the sound causing Killua to sit up and look her way. He, too, was flustered at the length of her gown, accompanied by another feeling he wasn't entirely sure he was familiar with. Y/N climbed into her side of the bed and turned over and quickly kissed Killua good night. Killua stared at Y/N before leaning in to kiss her again, his more forceful, but she returned it. Suddenly he was on top of her, and before she could react, he started kissing her neck. Y/N started to worry, then felt Killua's hand lift her gown a bit.

"Killua... Stop." she ordered, but it didn't seem to register to Killua as he continued to grab her inner thigh.

"Killua... No!" she said in a harsh whisper, finally pulling Killua out of his daze for a moment, and she used that opportunity to escape from under him. She quickly exited from her room, leaving Killua alone and flustered in her bed.

'What the hell has gotten into me?' he wondered to himself, and after some reflecting, he decided to go back to his own guest room, needing to be there before Leorio woke up anyway, and also having no reason to stay since Y/N had left.

He passed by Gon's guest room on the way to his own, and saw Y/N sleeping on one side of the bed. He frantically looked for Gon, thinking he might be on the other side of the bed, but found him sleeping on the floor by the bed. Killua calmed down.

'I know I can always trust him.' Killua thought with a sad smile before proceeding to his room.

He lay awake for a long time trying to figure out how he was going to fix this.

Kurapika woke up in the middle of the night, craving something to drink. He noticed Killua's door open across the hall, and saw Killua sleeping on the bed. He checked his pocket watch and saw that it was still really early, Leorio wouldn't be up for several hours, so why was Killua back in his bed already? His curiosity lead him further down the hall, where he saw Gon and Y/N in Gon's guest room. It left Kurapika totally confused.

'Did Killua and Y/N have a fight?' he wondered to himself.

He shrugged it off and made his way downstairs for a glass of water.
