Hisoka wasn't entirely sure how he'd ended up where he had. In the middle of the market. In a fountain, to be specific. He had vague memories of having been hunting for fish, and wasn't sure that he really wanted to know more. It was best, it seemed to him, to pretend that nothing out of the ordinary had happened ( ... )

He felt him before he spoke. That familiar voice, and he tilted his head back, before turning on his heel to face the red-headed magician. Dark eyes looked over his face, slight glimmer of approval. It wasn't that he disliked Hisoka with his makeup one. He just thought he looked better without it.

He swallowed as he looked into the other man's eyes. "Hisoka... Well, I live here now," came the soft reply, leather boots shifting slightly against wooden flooring. The already narrow hallway somehow seemed to shrink when he was standing there staring into the red-head's eyes. "I was looking for a place to stay, and Kasa offered..."

Maybe he should have lied. Maybe he should have made some excuse about stopping by to see how his injuries were healing. However, this was Hisoka. He doubted that even he could manage to live only a few thin walls away without the magician knowing.

Yes. There was definitely going to be ruin. That smile was cutting.

"Do you?" Hisoka's eyebrows rose. He wasn't particularly surprised by the news. He probably would have invited Illumi to share the house with them himself if given enough time. He would have enjoyed watching the reaction. Well, he'd been deprived of that small joy thanks to Kasa, but Hisoka was sure there would be many more.

He kept his smile small, knowing, stopped it from showing too much of his amusement.

He crossed his arms over his chest, cocked one knee; a teasing stance, almost an inviting one. "Why, you ought to have told me, Illumi-chan." The smile grew just an inch. "Have you any belongings to move in?"

Sometimes, it started to feel less like Hisoka was slightly smiling and more like the man was leering. It was a rather uncomfortable feeling, awkward in all the wrong ways that jangled over his senses, made his shoulders curl a little bit.

Tension was laced through his body as he watched him. Hisoka almost always pushed against him, pressed just the right way to put him just on edge. And now it felt even sharper, somehow.

"I already moved in everything I had," Illumi said evenly, his voice cold, devoid of emotion. How he liked it. Not tingling fingertips and slight shakes in breathing that he couldn't justify. Damn the man for managing to get hurt in the first place, anyway.

Yes.
It was all his fault.

It was entirely Hisoka's fault that he felt this way at all.

"Ah, I see. Good, then!" Hisoka wouldn't have minded helping Illumi move whatever belongings he had, but that worked as well. It was less of an excuse to be near the man, to pester him, but when had Hisoka ever really needed excuses?

He moved toward Illumi, mind suddenly moving to the kitchen. He was hungry. And the fact that the kitchen lay behind Illumi made it all the more enticing. He'd bought himself food recently, hadn't he? He thought so.

The narrow halls twisted his body sideways, gave his hand the excuse to rest itself on Illumi's hip and his body the excuse to brush past Illumi's. All fun, these games, all very amusing.
