"Those are pretty"
“Those are pretty,” Gon commented casually, pointing out to a glass case with a gloved finger.
Killua slowed down. “What?” His mind was already out of this mall, in their car, driving back to their apartment where they could snuggle together under a warm blanket and forget all about the snow billowing outside. Gon would run his fingers through Killua’s hair and Killua would be content and happy.
But Gon had other plans, apparently.
“These,” Gon said and tugged Killua over. Killua let him, however reluctantly. He followed Gon’s gold gaze through the case to see a glittering display of…
Rings.
Killua’s mouth turned dry.
“These are pretty,” Gon repeated before turning to gaze at Killua. “Don’t you think?”
Killua stared. His heart was beating twice as fast, his palms were sweating in his gloves. Was this a test?
“…yes?” Killua said faintly, unsure of what else to say.
Gon continued to look at Killua, unblinking. Seconds passed and just as Killua was about to ask Gon what the hell was going on, Gon smiled.
“Okay,” he said cheerfully and pulled Killua off towards the exit again. “What do you want for dinner tonight? We have those leftovers in the fridge, still.”
Killua was still so stunned, he couldn’t come up with a proper answer.
