It's not like they have a lot of stuff. The place isn't too big, but it's plenty, and it's theirs, and that feels kinda cool.

Maybe it's a good thing they haven't got that much stuff though. Gon's boxes are scattered about despite Killua's nagging for him to unpack, and there are already dishes in the sink and a stray sock or two (mismatched) peeking out from underneath the bed-- so, basically, they're already doing a good job of making themselves at home.

Most importantly, however, Killua has managed to procure them a little flatscreen TV from somewhere and even some games--and things to play them on, of course--since Gon is horribly uneducated when it comes to video games. He barges in loudly, kicking the door open, and immediately goes to set things up in front of the slightly musty couch.

"Gon! Where are you? Get in here!"

He may have also forgotten to close the door.

Geez, Killua sure could be bossy sometimes...

He pokes his head out from the kitchen, a small frown on his face. "What is it?" When realization hits him, already-large eyes become larger in surprise.

"Ah - I told you that you didn't have to start without me!" He'd rather help Killua than not. He can't help but smile slightly. The white-haired boy seemed as excited for this as Gon was. Though, it was true that he'd been putting off unpacking.

[robosnack]

"You don't even know where to plug what in," Killua grumbles, not actually mad, and waves him over.

"I got a racing game. Even beginners like you can play!"

[freecssgonwild]

Gon makes his way towards Killua, feeling a tinge of irritation at the jab.

"Huh? I've beaten you at some games before, remember?" That was at the arcade, but didn't it still count? "I'm not a beginner anymore!" He sits next to him, reaching for one of the controllers.

[robosnack]

"Alright, alright... A more advanced level of beginner!" he agrees with a laugh. Mostly, he's teasing though. It's funny making Gon make those faces.

"That's not connected yet. Here--" Crawling over, Killua plugs their controllers both in and starts up the system.

"We should get some pillows for the floor." It's more comfortable playing on the floor than the couch, he thinks.

[freecssgonwild]

Gon relaxes at that, sticking his tongue out in response before laughing a bit himself. "I want to play more. These are fun, and some of them are really cool!" He admits.

"That's a good idea!" He'd let Killua mess around with it.

Running towards their room - he picks up the pillows that had been carelessly thrown to the ground, and makes his way back to the living room swiftly. He tosses one of the pillows quickly towards his friend's direction with a grin.

[robosnack]

He hadn't meant right then, but actually it is a good idea. "Oh, great--"

Oof, right in the face because he's got a controller in each hand.

"Oh, you are on!"

Video game forgotten, he (mostly gently) puts down the controllers and grabs the pillow off his lap to chuck it right back at Gon.

[freecssgonwild]

Laughing once more, Gon takes both pillows - chucking one, two, with more force this time back at Killua's head.

They'd been playing around like this since they first started unpacking, and it was admittedly one of the most fun parts of living together.

[robosnack]

Well, he's only throwing ammo in Killua's direction. He leaps right up, catching each of them and tossing them right back-- one at Gon's head and another at his chest maybe hoping to hit if he tries to block the first one.

[freecssgonwild]

It was easy enough to catch one - but Killua could move quickly enough for the pillow to succesfully hit his chest. With a soft 'oof'. Gon quickly grabs a hold of both pillows, jumping to the top of their couch with one quick motion. With more strength added to the throw, he aims for Killua's head again.

[robosnack]

"You're gonna break the couch!" Killua grumps, dodging the pillow this time and going straight for Gon. Yeah, that's totally gonna be better for the couch, tacking him off of it.

[freecssgonwild]

Gon can only start to move to dodge before Killua's body collides with his own, knocking him down. The sound of the couch creaking when he does so was clear to Gon, but he barely has to time react to what Killua's saying, nor the sound before he lands to the ground with a thud.

Immediately, he reaches for Killua's face, trying to shove the other boy off of him. He can shake off the vague pain from hitting the floor harshly easily. "Am not! You're the one who's gonna break it! And, that's not how a pillow fight works, Killua!"

[robosnack]

"Pillow fight... bonus level!" Killua laughs, quickly coming up with a new strategy. Gon can shove at his face all he wants. Killua has decided to take one of the fallen pillows and just start whapping him over the head with it, point blank.

"Surrender to the pillow fight master!"

[freecssgonwild]

Gon laughs in return, barely wincing when the pillow hits his head. "This isn't over yet!" He takes one of the pillow, using some of his ability he had here to hit Killua.

[saving_sound]

Sometime later in the day, Hibiki knocks at the door, a basket over one arm. Ah... hopefully this will be okay...

[freecssgonwild]

Opening the door, Gon's face instantly lights up.

"Hibiki! You're here!"

[saving_sound]

"Hello! Sorry it took me so long... But I brought something!"

She removes a little of the cloth covering the basket, revealing a small pile of freshly baked sugar cookies underneath. "For you and Killua-san!"

[freecssgonwild]

Gon's face lights up upon seeing the cookies, bouncing in his boots. "Did you bake these? They smell really great, Hibiki!"

[saving_sound]

Oh, good. It looks like he likes cookies after all! That's a relief; it would be awful to accidentally bring a gift they didn't like.

"I wasn't sure what kind you two liked, so I just made them sugar cookies... I hope that's okay!"

[freecssgonwild]

He shifts a bit, in order to let her in.

"Killua likes sweets a lot in general, so don't worry!" He might end up eating them all, though. "Do you bake a lot?"

[saving_sound]

She's only too grateful to step inside. It's chilly out!

"That's good! I don't bake pastries a lot, but I cook dinner every night." Between herself, Aladdin, and Eyes, every meal disappeared the day it was made. Or, well... mostly Aladdin, considering the appetites of the other two...

"If there's any other kinds of cookies you like, please feel free to let me know! I made them for everyone last year for the holidays, so I think I might do something like that again this year, too!"

[freecssgonwild]

"Really? That would be great, Hibiki! But, I want to give you a present in return, too!" That part of what the holidays were about, right? Exchanging presents.

He'd definitely have to figure out something that Hibiki would like. Not only that, but he'd more than likely take some more cookies without much hesitation. It'd be like trading presents with one another! After all, he had full intention on giving her something special.

[saving_sound]

"--Huh?" She sounds mildly surprised to hear that, though by no means unhappy. "Oh... Um, if you want to, I'll look forwards to it! Only a few people gave presents before, so I think I probably surprised a lot of my friends when I gave them gifts, but... Really, I just like being able to do something for the people important to me."

She's been shown so much kindness since she got here, it was only right that she did something in return...!

"Um... Is there anywhere I should put these for now, or...?"

[freecssgonwild]

"Sure! You can follow me." He begins to lead her to the kitchen. Never mind that their place was a mess - things like clothes and pillow thrown everywhere, along with boxes just placed seemingly wherever.

"You have an apartment too, right?"

[saving_sound]

...Wow. It's a little like when she didn't have time to clean up after Shii-chan. She tries not to stare at the mess too much as she follows him.

"Oh-- Um, yes, I do! With Aladdin-kun."

[freecssgonwild]

"Ah-- I know him! I ran into Aladdin at the festival." He comments, entering the kitchen with Hibiki.

He hadn't known that they lived together, though.
