'darling~' the red head purred. a shiver ran down my spine. i could feel his bloodlust, it washed over me and made me fall to my knees. i couldn't move. i was paralyzed with fear.

'where are you hiding now, love?' he said as he walked past the tree i was hiding behind. my hands, covering my mouth, were trembling, and i couldn't help but let my whole body shake.

technically, i could fight him. i was strong enough. and all i needed was his badge. but, the thought of the blood pouring out from his wounds, the butterflies flying towards him and—

i couldn't bear the thought.

my ability was pretty straightforward. i touch their skin and they'll immediately get soft. the most innocent parts of themselves would show. Angel Face, that's what i called it.

i lowered my arms and stood up. his bloodlust was fading. he should be at least a few miles away now. i rounded the tree and bumped into a chest.

'oh-' i fell back and looked up. he must've hidden his bloodlust. i'm so stupid!

hisoka, with his signature smirk, looked down at me. 'darling, were you running from me?' he held his elbow while his finger trailed down his jawline, tongue sticking out to lick his bottom lip.

i scrambled to get up and to get in fighting position but he was lightning quick. he was behind me and held me by my wrists. 'what was that ability of yours? angel face. are you threatened enough to use it?' he asked.

i couldn't help my breaths from coming out ragged and uneven. 'let go, hisoka' i said. i pulled my wrists free and whirled around. 'if you're looking for a fight, i won't give you one.' i glared as best as i could.

he laughed, hand running through his hair. 'who said anything about a fight?' he trailed a finger from my ear to my jaw, then down my neck. 'i want to see your ability.' his hand wrapped around my neck.

'a-angel face!' i said immediately.

caught off guard, he stepped back, but not before he was hit by a light. he dropped and started shaking. his eyes lost their malicious intent and grew bigger in curiosity.

he was sitting and looking up at me. '(Y/N)? what happened?' he stood up, still a lot taller than me. i bit my lip. i used my ability unintentionally, protecting myself out of fear.

hisoka's innocent side? he was a sadistic person by nature. what would the innocent sadistic side of him be like? he was possessive, manipulative, and worse, he liked hurting people.

he grabbed my hand and being cautious activated gyo. it was bungee gum. he doesn't want me running off. not like i could since he was in this state.

it was all in his head though. he could break out of it if he wished. 'hisoka, would you mind giving me your badge?' i asked him innocently. 'don't want to.' be replied easily. he grinned.

i reached out for it but he grabbed it and held it above my reach. 'hisoka that's not fair. i need it to win.' i pouted. 'i need it to win too, (Y/N).' he said pouting too.

'fine.' you said. was he going to act as a child then? most children would let you do as you pleased.

'(Y/N), i haven't slept for three days. let's go sleep.' he picked you up and ran up a tree. angel face changed their mind a little but not their strength. a setback sometimes.

'this is all very convenient hisoka.' i said after a while. i was sitting on his lap, his arms wrapped loosely around my waist. 'what do you mean?' he asked, his golden eyes peered into mine, and for a second, i was going to take it back.

but you don't lose memories because of angel face.

'you used your aura to block my attack, didn't you?' my response was given to me by the tightening of his arms. i felt my heart still.

he wasn't hurting me, but he could if he wanted to. one of his arms moved to cover my neck. i raised both hands to hold it lightly, in case i had to escape. 'hisoka.' i said, voice barely above a whisper.

he didn't answer. 'hisoka.' i tried again. still, no answer. as i was about to call him again he spoke.

'just be quiet. for a little while.' he said softly. he rested his head on my shoulder, nuzzling his face into the crook of my neck. i felt his breath on my skin and i couldn't help but shiver.

but i didn't move. he wasn't going to hurt me, i think.

he fell asleep, but his grip was as tight as ever. he wasn't planning on letting go. and so i remained on his lap. i steadied my breaths, and in doing so i fell asleep.

when i woke up hisoka was nowhere to be found. i stood quickly and scanned my surroundings. 'goddammit hisoka.' i ran my hand through my hair. i used gyo and realized there was something connected to my hand and to the bush. i followed it. bungee gum.

when i looked behind it, there lay hisoka's badge.
