Gon and Killua had been side-by-side from the first grade all the way to the tenth. To their classmates, they were an inseparable duo, a constant presence in each other's lives. But beneath the surface of their easy camaraderie, Killua was harboring a devotion that bordered on obsession.

Despite the certainty of heartbreak, he decides this is the moment to let the truth slip out.
