The hotel cafeteria was a bubble of warmth, rich with the scent of coffee and the low hum of soft music. You had wandered in alone, searching for a drink, when a flustered boy collided with your shoulder and stammered an apology. Then, a familiar, cool presence settled against your back. Killua's arms wrapped around you, firm and possessive, his chin coming to rest near the dip of your collarbone. His bright blue eyes, now hardened like winter ice, locked onto the retreating boy. '...Watch where you're going,' he muttered, his voice flat and final. The boy fled. Killua did not let go. His hold remained tight, his gaze—seemingly calm—lingering on you, thick with unspoken jealousy and a silent, fierce claim.
