I blushed deeply and instinctively grabbed my as much of my breasts that would fit in my hands and I turned away quickly. Elaine, seething, threw me me a blanket to hold against my chest. I wanted my back exposed since the fabric against it was uncomfortable, and it wouldn't hurt to make Illumi see what he had literally forced Hisoka to do to me. Elaine shut the door and grabbed the packet from illumi. She scoffed and started angrily scribbling in the margins of the first page. I was still turned away from Illumi and I felt eyes on my back and Hisoka looked at me, and then turned his attention to Illumi and said, "admiring the damage you've caused, I see?" Illumi developed a small frown but said nothing. At this point I turned around to face Illumi and with my eyes narrowed I said, " you're going to pay for what you did to me." His eyebrows jumped up and I continued, "no, literally, you're going to pay for me to go to a professional nen healer. It's the least you can do since it's your fault I look like a fucking prisoner of war!" The corners of his mouth upturned at my remark and he said, "yes of course, I'll schedule an appointment for tomorrow morning." I smiled triumphantly but I was low key disappointed he agreed so easily. I really wanted an excuse to yell at him and hit him before our contract went into affect. I mumbled a "thanks I guess". Then I spoke up and said, "give me the address and what time I am to go." Illumi responded with, "y/n you misunderstand, I'll take you there tomorrow". My eyes widened and me, Hisoka and Elaine all yelled in unison "NO!" Illumi sat down on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed and before he could say anything else absurd I said, " if you want to be the one to take me, you have to let them come along too." I jutted my thumb over to where Hisoka and Elaine were. Illumi said, " very well. It's good to see you again y/n" I burst out in laughter and so did Hisoka. Illumi looked confused and I said to Hisoka between laughs, "can you believe him?" Hisoka shook his head and Elaine just smiled. Illumi asked questioningly, "what?" Elaine was laughing now too and I dimly wondered if she sprinkled some 'fairy dust' as she liked to call it, on our food. Elaine said, " dude, you just fucking saw her like 2bhours ago, in the last phase of the Hunter's exam." Hisoka stood up and grabbed the packet Illumi brought from Elaine. He cleared his throat, grabbed his phone and held it up to his ear. He did his best to stop laughing and he made a serious face. He said as his eyes shone with amusement , " y/n I literally just saw you, but I already have a 20 page paper on how you should be my future wife". I doubled over laughing at the horrible impression and I stood up and untied my hair from its bun so it looked like Illumi's long hair. (But mine wasn't nearly as long). I stood up and grabbed the papers from Hisoka and I said looking at Hisoka and Elaine, " my name is Illumi Zoldyck and im a murderous assassin, master nen manipulator, and most importantly... Imma a simp!" We all doubled over laughing except Illumi, the man of the hour, and the object of ridicule. I clutched my stomach as I laughed. Then, as I cackled I cried out in pain and exclaimed " shit my back" I felt one of the deeper wounds reopen and spurt blood. Hisoka rushed forward but Illumi was closer and he reached out to me, frowning. I pushed him aside and said, "Hisoka". Hisoka gently took me into his arms and laid me down. Elaine pushed him aside and dumped rubbing alcohol all over my back. Tears pricked my eyes and I screamed out, " Elaine what the FUCK!" She shrugged as Hisoka and Illumi glared at her. She said as they stared, "I was disinfecting it guys, cool it, jeez." My back burned like it was on fire thanks to the alcohol and I turned to Illumi and I said with tears streaming down my face. I tried for a weak smile and I said, " any chance your doctor does house calls?" Illumi was already on the phone. We probably could've gone to a regular hospital but they would've just stapled or stitched my wounds closed,  and it could've taken months to heal and I would still have scars and occasional pain afterwards. However, a skilled, professional nen healer could probably heal me completely without a hitch if they worked continuously for about 6-7 hours, maybe less. I laughed a little and I fought to stay conscious. It wasn't working and I mumbled, " guys I'm gonna pass out." I turned my head towards Illumi and I considered reminding him he did this but instead I said, "when I wake up, I better" my eyelids were heavy and I blinked slowly. I finished, " I better be fully healed". Illumi's eyebrows drew together and he said softly, "of course my y/n" I whispered "I'm not yours, I'm Hiso- Hi-", then I passed out.

When I came to it was morning and it was cloudy, and looked as if it was going to rain outside. I saw Elaine was splayed out along the couch with another bottle of beer in her hand, and Hisoka was lying in bed next to me. Illumi was already  awake and sitting on the floor, watching me. I was still laying on my chest and I grabbed a blanket to cover my chest and I sat up,to face him. I said, "did it work?" Illumi just nodded and stood up and took my face in his hands. "How do you feel?" He asked. With one hand I brushed his hands off me. I stood up and jumped. I felt nothing out of the ordinary. No debilitating pain, no nothing. One hand still clutching the blanket over my chest I bent over and touched one hand to the floor. I felt perfectly fine, and I noticed some of the tension I had been holding in my back unconsciously beofore was gone now. I considered asking how much it cost but I decided I didn't care. Illumi did this to me, so he had to fix it, no matter how expensive it probably was. I almost said thank you to him, but I caught myself and said to Illumi, who was still creepily monitoring me with his big, black eyes, "I would normally say thank you, but in this case you owed that to me." I was about to start asking why he thought it was ok to use hurt me, to try to drive me away from Hisoka and make me come running to Illumi for help and protection. I shuddered at the memory and decided I wasn't going to try to demand answers. we had been down that road and I wasn't about that worried life anymore so I just turned my back to Illumi and pulled a shirt over my head. I then gazed down at a sleeping Hisoka and I considered waking him up but he looked so cute while he slept. Still, I got on top of Hisoka, straddling him and I started to kiss his face gently until he opened his eyes and said sleepily, "y/n, Love you're awake." He sat up and wrapped his arms around me and I wrapped my legs around him. We touched foreheads and he whispered, while running his hands up and down my now healed back, "how are you my Love?"I sighed and I melted into his arms and said, "I'm just fine, Hisoka, baby. I'm just fine." I was about to kiss him when I heard Elaine talk loudly like a drunkard in her sleep and she waved her bottle around with her eyes closed and she said, "I ssssswear to Athena that I'll kill 'em. Yeah, I'll fuck him then kill em. Naw, she's my ssssssssson. She'sa baby but MAY beeeeeeeeee." I jumped out of Hisoka's arms and grabbed my water bottle and I filled it up with cold water and I looked back at him shirtless, sitting on the bed. I winked at him and mouthed "watch this". He just smiled and I tiptoed over to Elaine and splashed water on her and yelled, "get up cadet! The war isn't going to fight itself. This is BOOT CAMP GODDAMMIT." Her eyes opened as she shot up and looked around her then her eyes focused on me and she said, "oh now that you're all better you think it's ok to wake up your sensei? I'll show you!" She threw her empty bottle at my head and I ducked and it sailed behind me and Hisoka caught it. He winked and threw it at the back of Illumi's head and Illumi swiftly ducked as it almost hit the wall, but Hisoka used his bungee gum to bring it flying back at Illumi's face. We all watched hopefully, but Illumi just dodged it again and Hisoka let the bottle hit the bed. Elaine mumbled, "fucking fast ass reflexes ruining all the fun." Illumi watched us curiously as we all grumbled about the bottle missing him. Illumi looked at the ground like he was considering something, then he looked back up at me. I waited for him to speak but Hisoka interrupted and said waving his hand and lazily making the silhouettes of sea animals with his bungee gum , "my dears, what a trying night we've all had. Why don't we all go out and get massages and manicures and some such". Illumi's face lit up and I grimaced, despite all he's done, at having to tell him that Hisoka's offer didn't include him. After he told me what his life was like, what his family was like it was hard to not pity him. I mean I still hated his guts but at least understood why he was so twisted and weird. I said softly, "Illumi, I'll see you later thanks for staying the night." Illumi's face fell and he said, "oh, I see. Call me if you need anything else, y/n." I just wordlessly grabbed the stack of papers Elaine had scribbled all over, shoved them in his face and ushered him out the door. He lingered in the doorway and he opened his mouth to say something so I just yelled, "BYE!" and slammed the door in his face. He didn't have the right to guilt trip me for not saying thank you for something he caused. I wouldn't allow it. So I walked back inside and I furrowed my brow and said, "I forgot to buy fresh clothes. All I have are the ones I wore during the exam." Elaine said, "I got you covered. I figured you'd forget so I brought this". She proudly thrust a pink  Louis Vuitton bag in my face and I grimaced, knowing her fashion sense. It was a mix of drunk millennial with student debt, party girl, and bad bitch assassin. It was really a gamble at what I'd find within the bag. I pretended to faint a little and I said, "Hisoka, I cant bear to looketh upon it. Please, you look." I threw him the bag and he opened it and he smiled at me. He pulled out a some pink lingerie and a floral patterned dress that looked unimaginably short with a deep U neck. It had cute puffy little sleeves and I could've liked it if it weren't so damn short and low cut at the chest. I turned to Elaine and she said simply, "you like flowers". I responded, not wanting to hurt her feelings "yeah, I do. Thanks! I can tell you thought of me!" She nodded and said, "yep I did. I saw this cute one jumper but it wouldn't fit your body type, then I saw this one bright red dress that would totally match this lipstick I have but it had a V neck that went down to your belly button and I remembered, hey, Elaine, y/n doesn't like it when it's too revealing. So I found that" she finished proudly, pointing at the dress and matching underwear. Hisoka chuckled, knowing  it was far too short for my liking but he said nothing. She added, "Kite's mission is in 3 days and we're going to Angeles Los, and we're only going to get paid 60,000 Jenny each. Be nice to him too!" Hisoka scoffed and said, "60, 000?" She just replied, "Hey, Kite's my, uh, my friend and I owe him one for helping me get to y/n as fast as I did while you guys were still taking the Hunter Exam. It's not easy locating examinees like that and getting to them lickedy-split. Plus, this is like pro bono work. The ultimate goal is to dissuade (possibly kill) some big oil guy from mining in this area where some special lizards or some shit breed, I don't know. We'll get more details when we get there." I chuckled at how  she said Kite's name and I already knew she had a massive crush on him. I wanted to meet him and she never let me see the pictures she had taken of him so I didn't have much to go on. I glanced at the clock and it read 9:32 am. I said, when should we head out?" Hisoka said, "an hour should be more than enough." I got butterflies in my stomach as he used his bungee gum to pull me into his lap. Elaine watched the whole thing and she said worriedly , "oh HELL no! Not on my watch. My girl just lost her virginity, she needs time to recover." I said deadpan, "Hisoka is my husband, don't you think he kind of has the right to fuck me whenever I want to be fucked?" She just grabbed the bag of clothes, grabbed me and said, "nope, not on my watch. You're just lucky that I approved of your marriage to that clown! you're sleeping in my room for the remainder of our time here and you're getting ready in my room." I facepalmed myself at how I was a married, legal adult but Elaine wouldn't let me have sex with my husband. I knew fighting was futile and I just said, "what about the rest of my stuff?" She huffed and said, "I'll come back for it later." Hisoka smiled evilly and got up from bed and I could see that we was literally about to attack Elaine. I said to him evenly, "it's fine, Hisoka. See you in the lobby in an hour. Love you." His face fell and he suddenly looked like he was about to cry as I got dragged away by a slightly hungover Elaine. My heart dropped and so before I left, I used my nen ability to conjure his favorite dolphin made out of  sea water. I conjured a breeze to carry it around the room, and I left with Elaine. When we were kids, whenever he had a nightmare or he was otherwise upset he would always ask me to conjure little sea creatures for him, and to this day he still loved it when I did that for him. I thought fondly back to the last time I had done the whole show with all the seas creatures for him during the Hunter Exam.

I was 20 minutes late to get to the lobby, and Elaine was still getting ready. I found Hisoka waiting somewhat impatiently while reading a small booklet about constitutional and human rights. I questioned inwardly why he was reading that, but Hisoka always had his reasons and he just loved to keep secrets so I figured I wouldn't bother inquiring about it. He was wearing a fresh outfit that matched his usual joker-chic aesthetic and his typical makeup.He looked up and I gazed at him lovingly and sat next to him. I wanted to sit on his lap but we were in public and I didn't want to be that annoying couple.hisoka looked up from his reading and surveyed my body and smirked at me.

Hisoka POV
"Love you should dress like that more often." I said. I watched her blush deeply and smile a small, kind smile at me. I admired how absolutely cute she looked with this bright floral pattern on with varying shades or red and pink against a white background with matching earrings and a small matching Coach purse. I noticed she didn't have any makeup on and I thought I'd have to fix that at some point. She didn't need makeup by any means, but if I was going to wear some, she should match me. Then, she looked down at her lap and absentmindedly pull at the hem of her dress, that was unimaginably close to showing her underwear. I admired her blushing face and I chuckled at how modest she was in public, but how incredibly desperate she was for me last night, injured back and all. I leaned in and whispered to her while slipping my hand under her dress and caressing her inner thigh, "Love the more you pull down the dress, the more we see up here" I moved my other hand to brush the tips of my nails along the exposed parts of her supple breasts. She shivered under my touch and moaned slightly, whispering, "ohhhhhh Hisoka." I grinned at the reaction I got from her with just a few touches. I moved my hand from her thigh up and I was about to slip myself down her underwear and said she weakly, "not now, Hisoka, we're in public." I fought the overwhelming urge to ravish her right then and there at the sight of her trying to resist the very prominent urge to give in to me. Any other time I would've convinced her to give in, despite the public audience but I retreated my hands and draped one arm around her. We simply could not have Elaine waking in and deciding she needed to watch y/n any closer than she already was. Elaine can be such a grand nuisance. She'd be dead or gotten rid of already if she wasn't so useful, and entertaining, and y/n didn't love her so much. Y/n leaned her head gently against my chest, and closed her eyes as she listened to my heartbeat. I stared down at her and my heart melted. I then got the warm, comfortable feeling I only felt when I was with her. It was quite peculiar, really, at how simply being in her presence is enough to make me feel at ease. I knew at this point what real love felt like, and I only felt it with her. Though I felt that right now too, this was slightly different. Feel, hmmmmm what's the word? Feel glad? No, I feel glad any time I break a beautifully strong toy. This was not that exciting feeling. Satisfied? I mean yes, but not quite. I wrapped my arm around her tighter as her breathing slowed and I felther heart rate began to match mine. I said aloud, "Love, what is the word for when you feel warm and relaxed in the presence of someone you love? Such as, you don't feel the need to be ready to always prepared to fight?" She opened her doe-like wide e/c eyes as she gazed up at me lovingly. She said while smiling gently with her hand rested on my chest, "Hiso baby, do you mean you feel safe when you're with me?" I murmured "hm safe. Interesting. Safe." I let the word roll around my tongue and out my mouth. What an odd sensation being safe felt. I wondered if this feeling always came with love or if it was some kind of pleasant side effect of being in love, and being loved back in return. (Author says: RIP Illumi.) She nuzzled her face into my neck and I savored this small, yet peaceful moment with her. I deeply inhaled her smell and my mouth watered. However, I held myself together and ran my free hand through my hair, slightly readjusting the way I had styled it. As y/n and I waited together, I lightly tapped my the tips of nails on her exposed thighs absentmindedly as I contemplated to what extent one could reasonably and legally demand a person's right to privacy.
