Hisoka carefully lands on Illumi's window seal. He opens the unlocked window with ease and slides into his lover's bedroom. Illumi is not in there, which makes Hisoka sigh in annoyance. It is right around the Zoldyck's bedtime, so where is he??

Hisoka pulls out his phone and sends the man a text before lying down on his bed happily. He inhales the scentless air with a small frown. When Illumi is here, he can never use the scented body wash that he likes. Instead, he is forced to use that disgusting scentless shit that his dad gives him. Something about how an assassin can be found out on their scent alone. 

For Hisoka? All of that is bullshit. Even if someone somehow found out where Illumi was due to his body wash's scent, they wouldn't even survive an attempt on the man's life. Especially if Hisoka was there with him. 

That's why Hisoka convinced Illumi to use the stuff that he likes when he's at Hisoka's place. The red head took him out shopping one day and Illumi ended up buying lavender body wash. Hisoka very quickly began to love the slight scent of lavender. The way it lingers on his sheets, on the clothes Illumi steals from him, and in his shower. Hisoka would be lying if he said he had never strayed away from his overly sweet scented things and used Illumi's lavender body wash when he missed his lover. 

Hisoka checks his phone to see that Illumi has left him on read. He turns his phone back off and rolls over onto his stomach, closing his eyes as he just lies there waiting. 

It only takes a few minutes before the long-haired wonder walks into the room. Hisoka's heart beats happily when he hears the bedroom door close and Illumi's footsteps approaching him. He can't help the smile that finds its way onto his face. He waits to be thrown off Illumi's bed, since the other hates when Hisoka lies on it while still in his day clothes. 

Illumi huffs and shoves Hisoka off his bed, just as Hisoka had predicted. "You know the rule. Do not get on my bed until you shower for the night."

Hisoka rolls his eyes playfully. "I know, but you were taking forever! I had to sit somewhere!"

"Sit on the floor."

"You're so mean to me!!!" Hisoka fakes a pout, but it doesn't last long since his body wants to betray him and grin from ear to ear.  

Illumi's eyes narrow a bit. "And you like it."

Hisoka shrugs and stands back up, dusting non-existent dirt off his clothes. "You know me so well~!! Anyways, you ready Lumi?"

"No. I am not ready to lie in my bed."

Hisoka can't help but bark out a laugh. He goes over to Illumi and lovingly kisses the emotionless man. Illumi doesn't kiss back, per usual. "You must be tired to be thinking about sleeping this early!! It's only midnight!!! Or maybe you want to lay on your bed for other reasons~? But neither matter, because that's not what I was asking about! Remember the date we had planned for tonight?"

"I do not forget things. I know about the date."

The two of them have been together for years now. They first started spending more time together near the Hunter Exam. And they were practically already dating by the time they were both Hunters. However, they weren't officially together until Killua left home with Alluka. When Killua left, Illumi started to shut down. Hisoka saw this and immediately stepped in, happily picking up the pieces and putting the man back together. Illumi let him easily, and the two of them immediately started officially being in a relationship. 

Hisoka didn't care if the oldest Zoldyck wanted to unhealthily attach to him, in fact he loved the idea of that. Cause it means Illumi would be as anamered with Hisoka as the man is with him. So when this emotionally attached lifeline was created, Hisoka knew he would devote his everything to Illumi. Slowly, Hisoka taught Illumi how to love, live, and enjoy doing both. 

Just a few weeks later, Illumi was finally ready to admit that they were in a relationship. He was ready to call them boyfriends. Their relationship started strong immediately, especially sexually. But it was fun. It still is fun!!! Fun and experimental!! It always keeps Hisoka on his toes, but in the best way! Hell, thats one thing he loves about Illumi. That man is still an unpredictable mystery even after years of being together. 

From the start of their relationship, Hisoka wanted to show Illumi all of the shit he's missed out on throughout life! It first started with small things, like staying up past the Zoldyck's set bedtime. Then it moved to bigger things, like helping Illumi experience the pleasure of an orgasm for the first time. But, despite their years together, they had only been on one genuine date before. Yes they have done hundreds of date-like activities before, but only once have they named it as a date. 

Their first date was an amazing night and Hisoka is incredibly proud of it. He took Illumi out to a fancy restaurant, one that Illumi had never been to before. Then he surprised Illumi with tickets to the man's favorite orchestra that was visiting. Then he brought Illumi to his place, fucked him till he couldn't speak, and gave him chocolate-covered strawberries the next morning. It was perfect. And Illumi? He was beyond ecstatic!! He even smiled, it was the first time Hisoka had seen one on his face! 

But that was the only date they have officially been on. Illumi pushes off the title of dates constantly, even after the amazing first date he had. Most of this is due to Illumi's stubbornness. He claims that 'they don't need to go out on a date to prove they prefer to be around one another'. But Hisoka is just as stubborn as his lover is. On top of that, Hisoka is a helpless romantic. And he wants a special night like tonight to be perfect. He wants another date night, another night focusing on their love for each other, another smile from Illumi. 

He won't lie, figuring out what to do on the date was a pain in the ass. But he finally figured out the best thing to do!!

Hisoka pushes down his small nerves as he slips his hands into his pocket, feeling the rings hidden there. Tonight needs to be just perfect, his younger helpless romantic self will make sure of that. 

"So, are you ready for your second official date?"

" . . . do we have to."

"Yes baby, we do~!"

"I do not think we have to. Going somewhere just to call it a date is pointless. If you want to take me somewhere, just do that. I still do not see the need for this."

Hisoka feels his smile strain with irritation. That's Illumi alright, stubborn as always. Except this is one of the few times Hisoka won't let Illumi get what he wants. The only way to change Illumi's mind when he's like this is to win him at his own game. 

"But I want tonight to be special!!! And you can't deny that the last date we went on was beyond special!! So I want to have some of that romantic magic in the air tonight!!!"

Illumi debates his options. "You make a convincing point. But I do not understand why tonight is special. Tell me."

Hisoka huffs slightly. That won't do. He knows Illumi hates surprises, but this is just one the other is going to have to live with! "No. It's a surprise!!!"

"Hm. I see. A surprise. Would you reschedule if something came up that made you unable to do the date?"

Hisoka hums in consideration before shrugging slightly. "I guess? Why-"

Suddenly, Illumi yanks Hisoka towards him and kisses Hisoka deeply, causing the red head to squeak a bit in shock. It's not often Illumi kisses Hisoka, nonetheless initiates it! Hisoka enjoys the moment, happily moaning into the kiss. Illumi's cold hands slowly move and grip onto Hisoka's hips. Then, he pulls Hisoka's hips forwards, giving the man a sliver of friction and pleasure. Hisoka immediately gets hard at Illumi taking the initiative like this. Usually when it comes to sex, Illumi lets Hisoka take the lead and just enjoys whatever Hisoka gives him. On very rare days, Illumi will take the reins and show Hisoka why he is not someone to be messed with. Those moments are so incredibly rare and only happen when Illumi is extremely horny. They are special nights that Hisoka holds close to his heart. And who is Hisoka to stop Illumi if today is one of them? They can always go on a date after having some fun~!!!

That's what Hisoka was thinking before Illumi pulled away. When he sees the mischievous glimmer in Illumi's eyes and the slightly determined look on his face, Hisoka realizes he isn't so lucky tonight. 

Illumi makes a small proud noise before giving Hisoka a small smug glance. "Looks like we can't go on the date. You're hard."

Well, that sucks. Illumi saying something on the lines of that is exactly what Hisoka was afraid of. This isn't because Illumi is horny, no. This is all to get out of the date. Therefore, if Hisoka does play into it, one of two things will happen. One, Illumi wrecks him so badly that he can't even get up for the date afterwards. Or two, Illumi bottoms and makes himself last so long that Hisoka doesn't have time for a date afterwards. Neither of those can happen. 

He can have sex with Illumi any night, getting the other man riled up isn't as hard as one would think it would be. But tonight is the night he needs to go on this date with Illumi. The weather is perfect, the sunrise is supposed to be gorgeous, and Illumi has nothing to do all night. He can't let his lust take over this time, he just can't. Tonight is too perfect for their date. Plus, he needs to have this night sooner rather than later, he doesn't know how long he can hide these damn rings from Illumi. 

Hiskoa smirks. "Lumi, when has being hard ever stopped me from anything I've wanted to do?? 

Look, I know you don't like surprises, but I promise you'll love this!!! Seduce me as much as you want, I won't budge! We are going on this date!! Hard or not!!! Unless you want to make this really quick-"

Illumi backs away from him, looking awfully cute with a slightly grumpy face. "Fine, we will go on the date. Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise!!"

"Of course it is. Am I dressed well enough for the location?"

Hisoka looks at his nice outfit. Illumi has on a black laced corset on top of a perfectly ironed dark purple button-up shirt. His black dress pants hug his legs delicately, ending at his ankles, which are covered by his purple socks that match his shirt. He has on his reliable black slip-on flats as well. Hisoka thinks he looks irresistible, but when does he not? 

All of the dark colors on Illumi are such a contrast next to Hisoak's brightly colored crop top, sweatpants, and heels. And Hisoka wouldn't have it any other way. God, Hisoka really does love him. 

"You look perfect Lumi~!"

Illumi nods slightly. "Then take me on the date."

"Of course my love!! There will be no need for the train, it's all nearby!!"

"Good."

"Perfect, we will be back right after sunrise!! And then if you still want to, we can have some fun~!"

"Yes. We will go to your place to do so."

Hisoka smiles in response and takes Illumi's hand. 

"As always my liege~!!"

The taller of the two hesitates before letting Hisoka take his hand. He doesn't hold Hisoka's hand back, just kind lets it stay limp in his hold. Hisoka leads them easily to the town near the Zoldyck family mansion. Illumi looks incredibly displeased as Hisoka drags him to the local grocery store. 

"Our date . . . is to the 24-hour grocery store?"

"No my dear, our date is more than that! But this is the first step!!"

"Hm."

Illumi follows him, but snaps his hand out of Hisoka's grasp when a person walks by them. The red head doesn't care at all, happily strutting into the store and picking up a basket. 

"You want to hold the basket dear?"

"No."

"Alrighty~!!" Hisoka quickly leads them to the liquor section. He looks for a nice bottle of fruity wine. When he introduced Illumi to drinking for fun instead of appearance or training, the man was utterly confused. Turns out the Zoldycks only drink the strongest of liquors. They do this at first for training, forcing all Zoldyck children to down glasses of straight Tiquilla with their breakfast. After Tiquilla, they just switched to another type of liquor. It's why it is impossible to get any Zoldyck family member drunk. After using alcohol for training, the Zoldycks are told to use it as an intimidation tool. Hisoka can't lie, it works. Who wouldn't be intimidated when the person you're eating dinner sips on straight gin like it is just water?

So when Illumi learned about drinking for fun, he was beyond confused. Surprisingly, he prefers more fruity-flavored drinks. Especially when Hisoka adds strong poisons to it. They have found out that mixing specific poisons that Illumi is less immune to causes him to feel a bit more relaxed than normally. He can't get drunk though, just more relaxed. The first night they did that was the first time Hisoka had ever heard Illumi laugh. 

"How about this one Lumi?"

Illumi picks up the bottle and inspects it. He puts it back and pulls out a different one. "This one."

"As you wish my love~!!" Hisoka easily leads them to the candy aisle after putting the wine into his basket. 

"You pick out a candy, and I'll get you something else! Okay?"

" . . . okay." Illumi immediately starts analyzing the large variety of sweets before them. Hisoka sighs lovingly before he prances off around the store. He grabs a nice-looking deck of cards and two wine glasses. When he returns to Illumi, he makes sure to be intensely quiet. He watches his lover take time to analyze two different bars of dark chocolate. He immediately notices Hisoka, giving the clown no chance of surprising him. 

"They don't have any good ones. "

"Ah, right my dear. I forgot you like the bitterness of baking chocolate. How could I ever make up for my mistake??"

"Let us leave the store."

"You really are having that bad of a time?? Fiiine, I'll get us out of here baby."

Illumi starts walking to the front of the store. As he walks past Hisoka, a small weight is added to the shopping basket. Hisoka looks at it and his heart flutters at what he sees. Illumi picked out a bag of gummy peach rings and a pack of bubble gum for Hisoka.

Happily, Hisoka skips to catch up with Illumi. Before they get to the check out area, he rushes and grabs a 100% coco baking bar for his lover with odd tastes. When he returns to Illumi's side, the taller is in line for a self-checkout. Hisoka hums a small tune he has stuck in his head as they wait. Soon enough, a spot opens up and Hisoka quickly goes to check them out. 

The whole time Hisoka is scanning items, Illumi is watching like a curious cat. His brows scrunch a bit in confusion when Hisoka scans the deck of cards. When the last of the items are scanned, Illumi out of habit pulls out his credit card to pay. But Hisoka swats his hand away and pulls out his own.

"No need to pay, baby~! I got it this time!"

" . . . I have more money than you. You struggle to pay rent. You don't have money to spare like I do."

"So romantic, aren't you Lumi?" Hisoka's voice drips with sarcasm as he goes to swipe his card. "Look, I don't have a lot but I have enough! Plus, I'm the one taking you on the date, so I pay~!!"

" . . . you pay for anything I want on dates?"

"Yes Lumi dear, that's how dates work~! Don't you remember the last date? I paid for everything!!!"

"Don't swipe it yet."

Hisoka's hand stops immediately. "Oh~? You want to add something else dear? Well, go one. Just come back quickly though so we don't hold up the line."

Ilumi practically disappears with his odd little assassin walk that blends him into any environment. Just seconds later, he comes back with a much more expensive wine and two more bars of dark chocolate. Hisoka happily scans them, but his smile immediately becomes strained. The wine is almost triple the price of the first one and one of the chocolate bars alone is twenty dollars. 

"Lumi dear. Isn't this a lot of wine and chocolate?"

"No. Not when you are paying."

"It's almost like you are trying to get me to go broke Lumi!"

Illumi's unmoving stare makes Hisoka sigh and give in immediately. "But you know I'll do anything for you~!"

"Especially on our date."

"Yes my love, especially on our date~!"

They leave the store and Hisoka holds onto his hand once again. Illumi keeps his own limp in Huisoka's hold, huffing and mumbling something about not preferring their hands being interlocked. Hisoka ignores him as he leads his lover through the sleeping town around them. 

He brings Illumi to a beautiful field that he had found a good distance outside the town not too long ago. It stretches out just a bit before fading into forests. However, a good bit away from the forest, stands one solo oak tree. It is large and provides a perfect sitting spot. It's a perfect spot to be where no one will hear, see, or bother them. 

He drags Illumi over to the tree and sets down the shopping bags on the grass. The night sky above them shines as a small breeze goes through the air. 

"Pretty, isn't it?"

"Sure."

Hisoka smiles lovingly. There are fireflies dancing in the grass that slowly float up and blend in with the stars. When Illumi notices this, his eyes widen. He doesn't say anything, but Hisoka knows him well enough to know that this truly was the perfect spot to pick. 

That's when Illumi looks over to him. "We are going to just sit here and drink wine?"

"And if I said yes?"

"I'd be unimpressed."

"Of course you'd be~! Don't worry dear, I have something much more exciting for us!!!" 

With that, Hisoka gets out the deck of cards. 

"Shitty deck of cards? Odd."

"Yes, but that's what makes this fun, Lumi!!" Hisoka puts the deck of cards in Illumi's hands. Illumi opens them, takes them out, and shuffles through them with ease. Hisoka holds back a moan as he watches Illumi play with his most beloved murder weapon. That's when Illumi uses a bit of Nen to throw the card and stick it into the tree. A while back, they both taught one another how to use each other's preferred weapons, and it was extremely difficult for them both. Seeing Illumi so quickly and easily use the cards now shows that he's been practicing. Oh, he's just so sweet~!!

"In my pocket, I have something you want Illumi!!! I will not use any weapons at all, but you can only use the cards! Let's see if you can get it out of my pocket!!"

"I'll pass. You will give it to me eventually."

"No I won't, not unless you pin me down and take it out yourself~!!"

"No. I'd rather fight with my needles."

"Too bad boo!! If I can't use weapons, then I need to handicap you somehow! Or else you might just kill me, you beautiful grim reaper~!"

"And why would I try to get it out of your pocket?"

"Because it's something you want!! It is also something that will forever ruin your family and make your parents hate you!! Don't you want to hold onto that instead of having it in my hands??"

" . . . I trust you."

Hisoka's heart breaks just slightly as his eyes widen. He was taunting Illumi, of course, but never in a million years would he have expected that to be the reaction. His heart pounds loudly as his lust and love for Illumi grow even stronger. Good lord, he loves this man more than anything he's ever loved before. 

But he needs Illumi to fight him. If Illumi doesn't try to pry these rings out of his pocket, then all of his planning will be for nothing! He wants Illumi to pin him down in rage and fight him like he wants to kill him. And then he wants Illumi to yank the rings out of his pocket and then shock the Zoldyck with his proposal. To get this, maybe just a small lie will help. 

"It's something that could hurt Killua ~!!"

Illumi's eyes snap onto Hisoka's so sharply that it gives the red head shivers. Hisoka moans happily and smirks. 

"You still trust me with it~??"

Illumi glares slightly and immediately makes a move to attack Hisoka. The clown laughs happily and dodges it easily. 

"I could be lying Lumi~!!! But what if I'm not? What if the thing in my pocket could hurt that brat in a blink of an eye?"

That was the final straw. Illumi starts fighting Hisoka with all he has, however, nowhere near enough to kill. Hisoka trusts his lover completely, knowing the man won't kill him but will rough him up. 

They fight for hours, running around the field. The birds and deer have all hidden in the nearby forest as the lovers' bloodlust radiates freely. Fire flys escape quickly from the grass as the two's varied footsteps disturbed their peace. It adds to the battle, giving them both a bit more light and whimsy. 

Hisoka by now is bleeding with various cuts from cards, while Illumi's nicely tailored outfit has small spots of blood on it. Neither of them are being careful in any way. Illumi isn't keeping his attacks clean, knowing Hisoka is enjoying the smearing blood and uneven pain. Meanwhile Hisoka is laughing and running around like a madman, practically running into some of the attacks. By the time the sun is barely peaking at the horizon, Hisoka lets Illumi pin him down.

Illumi slots his hips onto Hisoka's, pinning his body down with a squeeze of his thighs. He moves his legs to keep Hisoka's into place as one of his hands pins down Hisoka's wrists. The red head bucks his hips up slightly, moaning happily. He can feel a small trickle of blood run down his neck, and he knows Illumi sees it. He happily tilts his head to the side, giving Illumi a perfect view. Illumi lets out a growl-like noise as he takes out the box in Hisoka's pocket. As soon as he has a hold of the object they were fighting over, Illumi licks the blood off of Hisoka's neck. He sucks a hickey, causing the red head to whine happily. 

"L~lumi my dear~!! Don't you want to see the prize you won off of me??"

Illumi hesitates before leaving a few more marks on Hisoka's neck. He then unpins the man and stands up. He helps Hisoka up. 

"Thank you baby~!! Oh, also, the box can't harm your brother in any way, I was lying!!"

"I figured."

Hisoka's swoons where he stands. That means Illumi knew that Hisoka was lying, but still fought him like Hisoka wanted to. Illumi truly does love him!! And Hisoka knows he is beyond lucky for such a thing. 

Illumi tries to hand the box back to Hisoka, but Hisoka just shakes his head no. Illumi looks down at the box. A silence falls over the two of them, causing fireflies to find their courage to resume their fluttering in the field. 

"Go on Lumi, open the box!!"

Illumi shoots Hisoka a glare. "I was going to."

"Oh? Why the hesitation then?"

"I . . . well . . . I . . . hm. It is hard to communicate the reason why."

Hisoka just patiently waits. Something so beautiful about Illumi is how his brain works. The graceful yet abused man is unable to explain most of his emotions, especially when it comes to verbal expressions. It has taken Hisoka so long to just get Illumi to admit when he is happy or content with something, so Illumi talking about his deeper emotions is definitely a new thing for them both. But Hisoka waits. He gives Illumi the time no one else would. He doesn't interrupt him, but instead listens. 

Illumi is just about the only person he would wait on and listen to like this. Hisoka is not a patient person after all. But he is for Illumi. 

For the only person besides himself that he wants to carry the last name Marow. 

Illumi eventually talks again. "I can tell this is something important. Something is about to happen. This box . . . has a lot of weight to it . . . uh, emotionally. Physically, it is a quiet light. But I can feel your emotions attached to this box. Something big is about to happen."

Hisoka sighs happily and lightly kisses Illumi. "Yeah~? You think it's important?? What could it be my love??"

"Hm. It could be a lot of things. It also could be nothing. But . . ." 

Illumi's eyes dart over to the wine and candy they have waiting for them under the tree, then to Hisoka's eyes, before returning to the box. 

"But I believe you should be the one giving it to me. And you should be on one knee. So do that."

Hisoka beams and grabs the box. He was toning down the helpless romantic in him for Illumi's sake. He knows Illumi and he knows the man isn't one for romantic proposals on one knee. But if Illumi is open to it, even if it's just because he knows Hisoka deep down wants to do so, then who is Hisoka to say no??

Hisoka gets on his knee, holding back a small wince as an open cut from their earlier fight hits the grass. But he doesn't care, in fact the pain adds to it all.

Hisoka holds the box in his left hand and opens it. Inside are two glittering rings, shining in the morning twilight. Hisoka carefully takes Illumi's left hand into his own right one. He lightly plants a kiss on the porcelain skin of his lover. 

"Then I shall ask you. Illumi Zoldyck, will you make me the luckiest man alive and take on my last name alongside yours? Will you marry me with love, lust, passion, and murderous intent? Marry me so that one day you will kill me with your own hands, giving me more than I could ever ask for??"

Illumi's emotionless eyes widen. He takes a second, his hand slowly getting a small shake to it. Hisoka tilts his head a bit in confusion as he continues to smile, small bits of nerves rising in him now. 

"Illumi?"

"My last name will go before yours. It will be Illumi Zoldyck Marow."

Joy floods Hisoka's senses as he lets out a small laugh of relief. Slightly breathless, he questions the statement. "Yeah??"

"Yes. Hisoka Zoldyck Marow and Illumi Zoldyck Marow. Yes."

Hisoka laughs harder. He doesn't really know why, but he's just so happy right now that the sound is emitting from him without any second thought. Cause what the fuck. Illumi said yes. Illumi actually said yes. He's going to be fucking married to Illumi Zoldyck!!! Holy shit!! 

"I'm waiting for my ring."

Hisoka takes a small deep breath and holds back more noises of joy as he slips on Illumi's ring. He gets up and is about to put on his own, but Illumi stops him. Illumi takes the ring and slips it onto Hisoka's finger himself. 

The rings glimmer now on their rightful owners. 

Illumi's is a simple wedding band made of a pitch black metal, almost as dark as his midnight hair. In the middle of the ring wraps a large stripe of galaxy sandstone, swirling with purple and pink nebulae of love. 

Hisoka's ring matches, but is also different. It is a daintily crafted rose gold ring. The metal curves and wraps around perfectly shaped gemstones. The same gemstone that is on Illumi's ring, one born from stars and galaxies.

Hisoka is almost overwhelmed by the love he is experiencing at this moment. It is unlike he has ever imagined, yet at the same time, everything he has ever imagined. 

Hisoka kisses Illumi, and his lover kisses back immediately. Hisoka giggles into the kiss as he deepens it, sliding his tongue into Illumi's mouth easily. Illumi groans slightly, but pushes Hisoka off of him. Hisoka stops the kiss, but doesn't let the push disconnect their now hugging bodies. 

"I love you Lumi~!!"

"I know you do. And you know how I feel Soka."

"That I do~!!! Oh!!! And do you like the ring Lumi my love?? It's the exact ones we were talking about!! They came out just perfect, didn't they?!?"

Illumi takes a moment to look at his own ring, and then at Hisoka's. The smallest glimmer of emotion swirls in his eyes as he nods. "Yes."

 Illumi's eyes then dart to the tree and glance back over to Hisoka. "Wine?"

"Oh?? And I thought you said that just sitting and drinking wine was unimpressive?"

"That was before I had a fiancé, it's different now."

Hisoka laughs at that, pecking Illumi on the lips once again. "Oh yeah~?? How so~??"

"If it's a date that my partner has been pushing for me to go on and has put a lot of excitement behind it, it's unimpressive. But . . . if my fiancé wants to . . . and planned this all out . . . it's romantic."

Hisoka's melts on the spot. "You actually think it's romantic? And you like it being that way?"

"Yes Hisoka, I do. I do not lie, you know that."

Hisoka feels giddy as he pulls Illumi over to the tree. His heart is more full than he would have ever imagined as they sit down and he pours Illumi a glass of wine. He then hands Illumi his chocolate and gets his own candy and wine. He leans back on the tree for support and pats his lap lovingly to signal that he's ready for Illumi to cuddle up on him. Illumi hums in acknowledgement and holds his wine glass steady. Gracefully, he lies on Hisoka's lap. His hair splays out slightly as he sighs contentedly, the back of his head facing Hisoka. He sips his wine while lying there. 

Hisoka uses his free hand to lightly run it through Illumi's hair. "Hun, you might want to sit up when you drink your wine. I don't want you to choke!"

Without missing a beat, Illumi responds. "Do not forget that I am a Zoldyck Hisoka."

A small shiver racks its way through Hisoka as a small noise leaves his mouth. "Of course, my love~!!"

By the time they get cozy, the sunrise has officially begun. Illumi must've noticed it, because he sighs happily. "You planned out the sunrise as well, didn't you?"

Hisoka blushed slightly, a small sheepish smile crawling onto his face. "Yup!!! Observant as always my liege!!!"

"Hisoka . . ."

Hisoka stops the cup of wine at his lips, pulling it away with slight concern. "Yes Lumi?"

"We need to get married soon. I am not officially Illumi Zoldyck Marow until we do so."

Hisoka relaxes completely with a small chuckle. "We can do that whenever you want my love, I promise!! But for now, let's just enjoy the rest of the sunrise. Okay?"

Illumi hums in response. 

Hisoka happily plays with his hair as they sip their wine together. 

By the time the sky starts to fade from pink and orange to light blue, the bottle of wine is gone. So are the chocolate and gummies. 

Illumi's hair is braided with precision and care, put up beautifully. 

Hisoka's worst wounds are bandaged and wrapped up, with a kiss on each of them to help them heal. 

The two lovers, as opposite as they are, are connected by the hold of their left hands. Their rings against one another shine in the sunlight. One beaming as he has all night, and the other displaying a foreign smile on his thin lips.
