Summary
Killua's one of the best in the assassin business. As the heir to the Zoldyck family, it should come as no surprise, even if he wishes he could just go to college and hang out with his best friend. But his spotless record has been affected by the appearance of a rival. A cockroach, one that knows more than they should, who threatens to force him back to his family and away from Gon. And Killua will do almost anything to keep his double life in its carefully maintained balance.

Summary
“I don’t dream,” Killua says the first time he falls into Gon's dreams.
Gon peers at him through the spell in his hands, solid and warm with the weight of an ocean that only exists in his memories. Doing magic, making potions, crafting runes—you need to dream to do that, to find the memories that bind everything together in a tapestry. Even worldbinding, for all that it draws its powers from physical reality, still needs dreams to make it breathe, to give it life. Maybe it’s a balance, like how worldbinders use their runes to connect the physical world to new magic. To dream, in a way, is to live magic.
But here Killua is, in Gon’s dreams, doing magic seemingly without dreams of his own. If Killua has dreams—if he lies, or if he forgets, then he has a reason. But if Gon asks now, he's not going to tell the truth. Whatever it is, he'll tell Gon eventually.
So Gon asks, “Don’t you get bored if you don’t dream?”
Killua grins, blue eyes sharp with surprise and delight. “I’m not bored now.”
