Hisoka's POV 

(y/n) was in her room and I was in the bathroom. I had a watch in there with me that can show a hologram of someone. I opened it and called the only contact. 

Their face came up and I whispered to them. 

"Has the girl told you anything worth breaking her mind over?" 

I nodded and whispered

"She told me about her mother, sad really she thinks I pity her." 

We smirked

"Good Hisoka, I'll tell you the next plan of action within a few days. Make sure you keep her trust and make sure she doesn't suspect anything from you." 

"And for Stein?" 

"Leave him to me." 

She went away and I left the bathroom as I flushed it to make it look like I actually used it. 

I found her in the kitchen and she was spooning more ice cream. 

Your POV 

I looked at Hisoka as he walked in. 

"Hey, want some ice cream?" 

He smiled adorably.

"Hell yeah." 

I giggled lightly and got him some and pushed the bowl to him as he grabbed it and took a big bite before regretting it immediately.

"Ah! Brain freeze!" 

He held his head and drew in quick breathes trying to get it to stop while I hit the floor from laughing too hard. 

After we both calmed down he looked at me and pouted.

"Big meanie, why'd you laugh?" 

I giggled and poked his nose. 

"You're cute when you pout." 

I blushed as I realized what I said. 

He smirked. 

"I'm cute huh?" 

I shook my head. 

"That wasn't what I meant." 

He shrugged. 

"Sure it wasn't." 

"Don't you believe me?" 

He shrugged and walked away.

I felt the heat on my face as I sighed. 

"I'm going to bed." 

I mumbled and walked away. 

~The Next Morning~ 

I woke up and began my usual routine as I mumbled the same phrase my mother taught me when I was little. 

"If you're early you're on time and if you're on time you're late." 

I breathed a sad sigh as I remembered her. 

She was always so nice and happy. 

She never had a sad day. 

She even managed to smile and make me feel better when she was sick. 

I felt a tear or two slip down my cheek as I smiled sadly. 

"I miss you, Mommy." 

I mumbled lowly as I ran my hand across the mirror to move some of the condensation so I could see my reflection. I dried off and got ready like I usually do before going to make breakfast. 

I stopped as I saw Hisoka already cooking.

"Good morning!" 

He was bright and cheery today as usual. 

I smiled a little as he handed me my morning coffee.

I sat down in the living room in my favorite stitched chair that was a housewarming gift from Stein.

It always makes me think of him. 

Maybe that's the design or that it still smells like formaldehyde.

I shook my head a little and smiled to myself as I wondered if he was awake yet.

I grabbed the house phone and dialed his lab.

"Hello?" 

He groaned. 

"Hey, Steiny."

"Oh, hey (y/n)." 

I frowned lightly.

"Are you upset about something?"

He sighed as I heard his bed creak. 

I woke him up.

"No, I'm fine. I was just asleep still."

I giggled.

"I need to get you an alarm clock."

"Get me one of those and I'll smash that damn thing." 

I laughed a little more. 

"I'll leave you alone so you can get ready."

He hummed in reply.

"I'll see you at school then, professor." 

He said a quick bye before hanging up.

I looked at my phone for a moment before putting it down and hearing that breakfast was ready.

Stein's POV 

I let the phone hit the floor. I was in my room in my bed sure. But I wasn't asleep.

I was laying there trying to find out why I had a bad feeling. 

Usually, my hunches tell me what it is right away but this time something was different.

I couldn't place it. 

Maybe I was overreacting? 

I'll never know. 

I got ready and began my usual walk into Death City to the DWMA. I got there at my usual time and walked into my class to see Hisoka and (y/n). She was getting him ready for a test considering that he was a bit behind in class. 

I looked at the two before sitting at my desk. The bell rang and after I taught the lesson and gave the students time to work I found my gaze was being drawn to Hisoka. Something was off about that boy and but I couldn't comprehend what it was. I decided to go speak to Lord Death after the school day was over. He might know something and at the very least ease my worry.
