[2 days later]
The mess with Gabriel and Outcast Ayashi ended 2 days ago, and right now it was weekend, so it was a special day for Moka, it was her first date with Gabriel since they became a couple.
But she wanted to ask about his past in this very day, knowing that she will not get many chances in future.
She was in front of the mirror in her room, looking at herself with different dresses, until she decided to pick a black dress with a medium-sized skirt, she wore black shoes, and picked up a white bag with some items inside.
Then she happily hummed a song while combing her hair and when she finished preparing herself, she walked towards the door to leave and opened it.
Unexpectedly there was Gabriel with a smirk.
Gabriel: Boo!
Moka: KYAAAAAAA
Moka jumped out from the scare that Gabriel gave her, she didn't expected that Gabriel was already waiting for her, even more so in front of her door, when she calmed down, she seen Gabriel grinning and she pouted, then she walked at him at punched him in the chest.
Moka: Meanie!!!
Gabriel started to laugh, and a tear was falling from Moka's pouting face.
Gabriel: Alright, I'll stop… Well, grab the hand.
Gabriel stretched a hand to Moka, she stopped pouting and eagerly took it, surprising Gabriel from her change of expressions, then she nodded and walked with Gabriel, who smiled.
About Gabriel, he was wearing a black jacket and a green shirt, he wore jeans and a pair of black shoes.
They were walking under the sun, but it seems that soon it will rain, even if Gabriel and Moka didn't cared since Moka had an umbrella in her bag and Gabriel couldn't feel much from rain, except being a bit wet.
Their first destination was a bakery, Moka was very happy about it, and now they were eating together an ice cream.
Gabriel: So, how are the injuries of two days ago?
Moka: They are already recovered, thanks for asking. What do we do after this?
Gabriel: It's... A surprise!
Moka pouted again at his behavior, but internally, she was really happy to see Gabriel smiling once again, unlike that day with the Outcast Ayashi, where he massacred everyone without mercy.
Inner Moka: Don't forget about what we want to know…
Moka: 'Huh? Oh right… I will ask him later… I want to enjoy the date now…'
Inner Moka: *Sigh*
When they finished to eat the ice cream, Gabriel took Moka at the arcade to play something with her, they were playing against each other in a fighting game, and after 3 loses from Moka, Gabriel continued to lose every single time, it seemed that Moka was able to learn how to play in such a short time.
Moka: Take this!
Gabriel: In the name of everything that is unholy in this world, how did you learned to play?!
Moka just took out her tongue at him while winking, making Gabriel's eye twitch, some time later, they passed beside a game with the mechanical hand, and Moka was attracted from the plushies there, Gabriel smirked and put a coin inside.
Moka watched curiously Gabriel who was guiding the mechanical hand as precise as possible, and then it descended, the mechanical hand was covered from the other plushies, so Moka didn't knew which one Gabriel was picking.
But he knew it, thanks to his En, and then he pressed the red button, grabbing a plushie, the hand slowly rose, and revealed something familiar to Gabriel, who watched the anime. His eye twitched in annoy.
Gabriel: 'That fucking bat…'
The hand grabbed a creature, it was a bat with a hamster-like body, then it looked at Gabriel and Moka and said.
Ko: Eh? Who are you?
Gabriel: 'Well, who cares…' Hey Moka, do you want him as a pet or do you want another plushie?
Ko: Heh, she will choose m-
Moka: I want that plushie.
Moka pointed a plushie near Ko, interrupting him and making him despaired.
Gabriel: Alright.
Then Gabriel put another coin and picked the plushie Moka asked for, and left Ko inside the machine, with a terrified face.
Ko: DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!!!
Gabriel and Moka ignored it, and left for another place, they visited many things in the way, like the plaza, a clothing shop, and a garden full of flowers.
[Later]
It was late afternoon, the sun is slowly falling down, and Gabriel and Moka were at the cliff near the bus station.
Gabriel: So… How was the date?
Moka: It was incredible… I want to do it more often…
Gabriel: I'm glad.
Some time passed before Moka asked the real question.
Moka: Hey Gabriel…
Gabriel: Mh?
Moka: While you were killing the Outcast Ayashi… I had some visions…
Gabriel: ...Visions?
Moka: Yeah… And I wanted to ask you… Who is Meruem?
Gabriel's eyes widened and looked at Moka in shock, she noticed the expression and looked down with a sad face.
Moka: Forget about it…
Gabriel's eyes softened, then he sighed before he said.
Gabriel: Meruem… The previous and real King of the Chimera Ants… Do you want to hear a story, Moka?
Moka glanced again at Gabriel with a curious expression before Gabriel continued to talk.
Gabriel: In america, there was a 15-years old teen called Gabriel Brace… He was human, like his friends… His family… His acquaintances…
Moka was surprised from Gabriel's words, and put her hands in her mouth from surprise.
Gabriel: He lived a really happy life, there was nothing wrong… Until one of his friends decided to make a little joke by creating a homemade laxative with Gabriel's water bottle, but it seems they got false informations, and created poison, which Gabriel drank…
Moka: *Gasp*
Gabriel: When he was going home, the poison slowly worked, and circulated in his entire body, killing him…
Moka: ...I don't get it… What happened?
Gabriel: Later everything will be connected… Now listen to the second story… In an unknown place, far away from here, in the nest of the Chimera Ants, there was their Queen that was eating monsters and humans to create the perfect King.
She continued to eat, and the King's powers got stronger, until the King couldn't wait anymore and left the Queen's womb, killing her.
The King was cruel, merciless, but inexperienced, he didn't knew anything except for the main informations, like what is his species, what are humans, and other things.
He only had an objective, complete domination of the world, he took down the minister and disguised as him to start with his plan, he was slowly getting smarter, by playing strategy board games: Chess, Shogi, Go, and others.
This continued until there was an invasion from 2 people, they were the strongest humans they could put at the moment.
One of them just transported the other human and the Chimera Ant, while the latter started to fight against each other. The Chimera Ant was winning against the human, getting only a couple of scratches in the entire fight, until the human made a suicidal move and exploded.
The explosion surely killed the human, but somehow Meruem survived, and turned back at his place, but he was poisoned, and at the end, he died just like Gabriel.
The poison slowly worked, and circulated in his entire body, killing him…
Moka was listening to everything, even Inner Moka, from her rosary, listened to his stories, and was shocked like her outer self.
Gabriel: And then, here I am, the soul of Gabriel Brace, fused with Meruem's body and soul, giving birth to me, who somehow ended here. So you can say this is my third life… 'I can't tell her a shit about Hunter x Hunter… So I will just use Meruem's life as my second life…'
Moka couldn't talk anymore, she was shocked from every single word that he said, then she hesitantly hugged him, surprising Gabriel.
Gabriel: You really want to stay with me? I was human once, and you hated them… I was a tyrant once, and no one likes them… And now? I'm a fucking killer that devours his enemies…
Moka: You are still my friend… You were the one to save me, not Meruem or Gabriel, you…
Gabriel: ...Do you mean me or when I was human?
The atmosphere was ruined, and Moka started to slowly laughing.
It seems that Inner Moka didn't cared anymore too about his past, and it was good.
[Later]
Gabriel took back Moka at her room, and Gabriel said bye, leaving there, but something unexpected happened, Moka was tugging on Gabriel's shirt, making him turn and see Moka who was looking down in her feet and was blushing.
Gabriel was a bit experienced in dates thanks to his past when he was human, so there were a few possibilities about what would happen, and he hoped for a certain one.
Moka: ...Can you come inside…? 'I'll do it!'
Inner Moka: Oi! You really want to do that?!
Moka: 'Yes, and don't try to hide it! I know you want too'
Inner Moka: You…!
Gabriel just nodded and walked inside her room, then she followed her in the bedroom, and sat over the bed with Moka.
Moka: H-Hey Gabriel…
Gabriel: Mh?
Moka: … Do you want to do it?...
Gabriel: 'Oh fuck yeah!' I'm prepared for anything!
Then he took something from the pocket, revealing a wallet, he opened it and turned it downwards, letting fall something unexpected… A condom…
Moka: '...Did he already know it…?!'
Inner Moka: That… Is unexpected… I didn't thought he was so prepared…
Moka: But… There is only one…
Gabriel: And that's where you are wrong kiddo...
Then Gabriel took out his jacket and shirt, to reveal that inside the shirt there was a dozen of condoms, surprising both Moka and Inner Moka.
Gabriel then took off his shoes and turned them downwards, before shaking them, making fall more condoms.
Gabriel: Do you want more? I still have the ones inside the jeans.
Moka: ...How… How did you knew…?
Gabriel: I had one life full of dates and other things, I have more experience in dates than your inner self has in fighting with legs.
Inner Moka's eye twitched in the rosary, and Moka started to laugh again, when she calmed down she said.
Moka: Alright, let's start taking off our clothes… Since this is my first time, I hope you can guide me…
Gabriel: Don't worry.
Then they stood the entire night awake, even if there was a little accident… That was about the accidental removal of the rosary, bringing Inner Moka out… But it was still a good night for all THREE.
[Meanwhile]
It was night, at the plaza, there was a silhouette of a girl going around, it seemed that she was looking for someone… Then the figure came under a light of a lamp, and it revealed to be Mizore.
Mizore: Where did they go… I swear that I seen them here 6 hours ago…
She was still trying to find Gabriel, who was at Moka's home, in the girls' dorm, unknown to anyone except the headmaster, who was grinning at the blackmail material that he was accumulating combined with the others about Gabriel's preys...
