The "sign" for soul mates can be whatever, the way they meet or even if they've already met, whatever it is!! I just love soulmate aus.

The first meeting is supposed to be this big dramatic thing, but I don't care about something like that. My family will want to see you, though. [Not that it's an actual reason to drag Killua home. He's still not sure.] They say this sort of thing means you're supposed to work well together. Whatever that means.

[killectric]

You're not seeing my family. [He says coolly, cutting him off.]

I don't buy into this soulmate crap, so don't think it gives you any special privileges.

[moresuffering]

That's a relief.

[Good, he doesn't want in on the hype. Even if he is also kind of appreciative of the fact that Killua.. also isn't immediately putting him on a pedestal.]

Your parents just let you spend your time playing games here? Or are they going to pick you up?

[killectric]

[If he was relieved by that, maybe they were on the same page after all.]

Oh, they don't know I'm here.

[He starts walking down the sidewalk, hands in pocket.]

My name's Killua.

[moresuffering]

[Ritsu will walk with him, nodding.] Just Killua? [That's fine, he guesses.] What are you doing now? [He didn't have any other plans for today. And this is the "normal" thing to do. Something that's expected of him.]

[killectric]

What, you need my family name too?

[A beat.] I'm going to get some Chocorobos.

[moresuffering]

[What are those? Chocorobos...? But choco- is pretty recognizable. ........So what if he has a little bit of a sweet tooth.] What are they?

[killectric]

They're Chocorobos, duh!

[Killua says like he didn't just define the word with...the same word.]

[moresuffering]

Are they a chocolate robot?

[killectric]

That's what I said. Chocorobos.

[moresuffering]

How much do they cost?

[killectric]

I don't know, I always just buy however many are on the shelf.

[moresuffering]

[That sounds like a lot of money... Ritsu makes a face, but he'll still follow along.]

[killectric]

[A whole minute of silent walking passes.]

Hey, if you're really my soulmate, you've gotta buy me gifts and stuff, right?

[moresuffering]

Neither of us are a girl, so I don't think that counts. I don't have a very large allowance, though.

[killectric]

Laaame. Well, I stole enough money from Mother's purse to cover us, so whatever.

[Killua casually drops that bombshell.]

[moresuffering]

[He was kind of expecting it so he's not exactly shocked. He huffs a laugh, covering his mouth to hide it quickly.] Guess you better hope you don't get caught.

[killectric]

It doesn't matter, I'm not going back home.

[He pulls a coin out of his pocket and starts to fiddle with it, letting it spin on his fingertip before he ferries it over his fingers and then back again.]

[moresuffering]

[That makes Ritsu pause a bit.]

Not going back? You're a runaway?

[killectric]

Yup. [He flips the coin into the air and then catches it.]

I've decided right now.

[moresuffering]

What are you even going to do with that? Do you even have a plan?

[killectric]

You said you had to show me to your parents, right? I'll just play the sympathy card. Easy as pie.

[moresuffering]

That'll probably work, but that's still not a good long-term plan.

[killectric]

It'll give me enough time to think of the long-term one.

[Killua shrugs his shoulders, and comes to a stop in front of a Family Mart.]

We're here.

[moresuffering]

[Underwhelming, but whatever... he's already plotting out a few possible excuses for Killua, assuming that his parents are some rich snobs. Sounds like they were assuming a lot about soul mates too.]

Lead the way.
