a lazy nod, one hand raises, swiftly reaching towards Killua's face ββ and he's tugging his cheek between his index and middle finger.
β β β deal. leave that long-haired leech to me. β

which meant going back home. why did everything always lead back to that hell? βwe have a deal? any and all information. i need to know everything he's up to.β
βbleeehh.. my mom collects all kinds of old artifacts and jewelry too. it's like her weird hobby. i couldn't say how much any of it is worth but i can get access to it so you can figure it out.β

bored eyes raise to the sky. why was he even indulging the damn brat for so long .α£ a thief didn't need money, and it was hard to believe the child could offer something to pique is interest. however ...

i'll be there so don't even think about doing anything ... aniki.
βͺ he wouldn't follow right away ... lost in an endless cycle of bad thoughts. in his mind, he could see himself trying to swim only to sink under the crushing waves. β«
βͺ grip released and arm dropped back down to his side. he was such a fool to think he could go anywhere without her. illumi would hold her over his head for as long as possible, they needed to escape. β«

Dark irises
adjusted instantly as Killua
closed the distance. Cold gaze
dropped briefly to his grip.
Illumi never flinched.
Had anything truly been at stake,
that wouldβve been a mistake.
But he was simply trying to
get under his skin.

βͺ he closed the distance in less than a second, fingers latched onto illumi's tunic. his hand curled into a fist, refusing to let his brother walk further. fearful yet bloodthirsty. β«
don't you πππ«π touch her, aniki...
if he returned home, things would be different. maybe worse than ever before and his sister would never know freedom. βmoney in exchange for whatever information he reveals to you. consider it a long term arrangement ... become my spy.β
killua resisted the urge to defend those tasty treats. instead, he focused on what mattered the most right now. βbesides money, i really don't have much to offer. illumi is scheming and i have a feeling i'll be forced to return home.β

one dark brow instantly raises. he was genuinely wondering if the boy was serious or simply messing with him at this point. the spider would bet on the second option.
β β β choco balls .α£ I couldn't care less. be serious, if you really want my help. β

an invitation that i'm denying! i'll just find somewhere to work, lots of places are hiring.
βͺ he had no clue how true that was, but he wasn't about to let illumi win so easily. β«
go away already, you're so suffocating!
α
βIβll deal with it later.β
That was all he said
into the phone before
hanging up.
ββSee? When your
older brother tells you to
do something, just do it.
His gaze remained steady.
ββActually, it was an
invitation. Youβre alone and
out of money.
