[i-heart-hxh]

Is there really a married couple dynamic between Killua and Gon? If so, any examples of similarities to other couples in the anime?

The director of the 2011 anime thinks so!

I agree with what he said, although of course there's a limited degree to which this comparison applies because we are talking about two young boys (who aren't even in an actual romantic relationship yet), after all. :p The ways they resemble a married couple in my opinion include, but are certainly not limited to:

Extreme trust between and reliance on one another

Being synchronized in their actions and thoughts in many cases (as if they've been together a long time)

They have a good understanding of each other and insight into how the other thinks

They bicker over silly things, but quickly go back to getting along after disputes

They essentially lived together in the around two years they were together. They were with each other almost constantly during that time, and there's a degree of domesticity and closeness/comfort to their relationship as a result

They talk to each other almost non-stop, to a point where we see them chattering away in the background frequently

They work together towards common goals by default and generally only compete for fun

To quote Hiroshi Koujina (from the post linked above), "Gon is the free-spirited husband, and Killua is the wife who silently supports him" <- I think this is a good summary of their dynamic within this context, LOL

It's hard to compare them to many couples in the series because honestly, HxH doesn't have many actual romantic couples to begin with. Togashi tends to kill one half or more of the romantic couples he sets up, often before they get to have a good life together. Think Squala and Eliza, Pokkle and Ponzu...

However, Meruem and Komugi are parallels to Gon and Killua, and that's essentially undeniable with how many layers of parallel/similarity exist between the two pairs. That's a topic for a whole other post (I could go on and on, and it's hard to summarize), but the way Meruem and Komugi's relationship develops is also telling of Gon and Killua's dynamic because the two are intended to exist in comparison with each other and reflect each other.

One of Komugi's final lines to Meruem was essentially an old-fashioned way to accept a marriage proposal ("I may not be much, but please, let me accompany you"), and Meruem and Komugi complete a lovers suicide (like Killua was considering doing with Gon). Obviously these character pairs are separate, and it's not as though I think Gon and Killua will suffer the same fate, but I do think it's very meaningful (especially in conjunction with the loads of other subtext present in the series) that Togashi chose another pair with obvious romantic subtext to mirror Gon and Killua, and that that relationship ended with "marriage" in an abstract sense.

Even Komugi's phrase I mentioned above has similarities with Gon and Killua, with Killua's, "Gon. You are light. Sometimes you shine so brightly, I must look away. But even so, is it still okay if I stay at your side?" It's essentially saying the same thing as Komugi's phrase.

I'd argue there's also some degree of parallels with Ging and Kite, Knuckle and Shoot, Kacho and Fugetsu, Kurapika and Pairo, and most likely others, though of course those aren't romantic in nature. I do think the fact that there are so many points of comparison is interesting, though, it reinforces the themes of the series that Gon and Killua exemplify.

Also, just a silly little sidenote, but Nagareboshi Kirari from the 2011 anime does have wedding bells in it. Take that as you will!

I hope that's helpful!

I've being wondering about this for a while. I didn't think it, but turns out silva and kikyo do actually love each other. So killua probably grew up seeing those expressions of "love" and thinking that's normal for a relationship. How do you think that would affect his relationship with reader? And if it isn't too much, how do you think his overall experience with his family effects it? Because I highly doubt after everything he's gone through that his relationship with the reader would be perfectly normal. What're your thoughts?

before i delve into killua’s experiences, i wanna go into the psychology of a developing brain. especially during the most critical stages — from birth to five years old. according to vygotsky’s theory of child development, a child’s environment and external factors play a huge role in how a child develops as a person. he proposed that as a child, your brain is continuously learning and soaking up information. for example, right from wrong, how to treat other people, whats socially acceptable, etc etc. essentially, vygotsky believes that this stage of development is critical for how your brain functions as an adult, and that external influences play the biggest role.

now that we have that mini psychology lesson out of the way, let’s hop into how i think killua’s environment and seeing how his family treated each other affected him.

i dont know much about kiyoko and silva’s marriage so i can’t really speak on that, but based on the fact that they love each other and their kids, i can assume and speak on a few things.

firstly, killua grew up in an assassin family. he was trained from a very, very young age — most likely from when he could walk — and was required to develop an immunity to all poisons and be able to complete missions quickly and efficiently. from that, i can gather that he was trained very harshly and most likely learned to associate love with pain of some sort. i have no doubt that developing an immunity to all poisons was painful and extremely distressing for a child. this would likely shut down some pathways and cognitive processing that a child in a normal household would have.

i would also like to take illumi and kiyoko’s influence in killua’s life into consideration. illumi was extremely overprotective and manipulative, and even placed a needle in killua to control him. kiyoko was overbearing with her love for killua and, to my knowledge, always had an eye on him in some form.

now that we’ve taken developmental psychology into account, his family’s influence and behavior, and his assassin training, i can now go into how it affects him in his love life.

it has definitely affected him in some form, but also he now has gon to show him whats healthy. killua very clearly has expressed his distaste for his family, but i think that this is so deeply rooted in his brain that it would affect him for the rest of his life. and even if he did realize that it was wrong, i don’t think he would want to stop — self-indulgence at its finest. i think he rationalizes it as “my family did it this way so why would it be that bad” and “different people have different tatses”.

as for how it affects his relationship with the reader, he would be completely out of reach. both on a physical scale and a psychological scale. as an assassin, hes immune to all poisons and the reader has no chance of physically overpowering him — the only option would be to run but even then you wouldn’t be able to forever. you also have no hopes of “fixing” him. theres a very clear distinction, depending on how the reader was raised and their own tastes for love, between his views on love and theirs. at that point, you would have to live with his overbearing, self indulgent, over protective, and manipulative behavior. you’d honestly be trapped. just hope stockholm syndrome kicks in fast.

ft. kurapika, leorio, hisoka, illumi, chrollo

♡❀˖⁺. ༶ 𝐤𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐤𝐚 ⋆˙⊹❀♡

『kurapika would take you to a beautiful restaurant where you first went out on a date and rent the whole place out just so you two could have the place to yourselves. he would wear his very best suit and jewelry and buy you any formal outfit you wanted so you could wear it for tonight. at the restaurant, he’d have the booth where you both sat all decked out in roses (he recruited killua and gon to help decorate, which at least gon was thrilled to do). he’ll order your favorite dish and let you order any dessert you want, while you’re sitting there wondering why he’s being so romantic. kurapika will go on and on about how stunning you look and reminisce about your first date with his face aglow, then getting distracted talking about how he felt when he first met you and talking about all of your good and bad memories together, detailing how much of a dark place he was in before meeting you. and how imagine him just reaching over and putting a rose in your hair all tender and shit, and brushing your hair from your face as he does. then he’ll get up from the booth sort of abruptly, probably, making you wonder where he’s going- at least until he kneels down in front of you, his eyes locked on yours. when Kurapika opens his mouth to speak, his voice is slightly quivery, but his words are absolute.

“my love… will you marry me?”

he’s visibly nervous, but kurapika doesn’t waver. and when you say yes with the biggest smile on your face, it’s like all the tension just evaporates from his body. he kind of pauses, like caught off guard that you said yes, and then he’ll just take you into his arms, dropping the ring on the floor as he does. Kurapika finally feels like he’s getting a new start and another family, and he absolutely could not be happier.』ღ

-ˏˋ♥̩͙♥̩̩̥͙♥̩̥̩ ⑅ 𝐥𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐨 ⑅ ♥̩̥̩♥̩̩̥͙♥̩͙ˊˎ

✧*̥˚ does it fully on the spur of the moment. unlike kurapika, who meticulously planned every detail and got his ring specially engraved, leorio is not at all prepared for a proper proposal (whoa tongue twister). you two are probably just on a regular old date while he’s just completely lost thinking about how stunning you are, how perfect for him you are, and how much he just adores being around you, how you accept his flaws , and how you don’t judge him based on past decisions. leorio’s completely lost track of time while you’re just awkwardly sitting there wondering why he’s looking at you like that with shiny doe eyes and next thing he knows he’s on one knee, stumbling through his words, but you understand.

“look, i know this is kind of on a whim and i don’t have a ring or anything- i swear i’ll get one- but you make me really happy and you’d make me even happier if you’d marry me.”

you’re absolutely stunned into silence, gaping and heart pounding- but leorio isn’t having it. “look, will you say yes already, damn it?!”

you burst into laughter and manage a yes through your giggles as leorio realizes that was probably a completely inappropriate outburst given that he was trying to propose to you. to tell the truth, though, you really don’t mind. <33 *̥˚✧

┌──❀* 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐤𝐚 ❀*̥˚─┐

*＊✿❀ hisoka? proposing? yeah fucking right. but because i haven’t posted in a while and i owe it to you guys, i will let y’all be delusional for the time being and act like this is at all realistic./j

let me tell you that hisoka does not marry because he wants someone to love or because he genuinely loves you. he marries for possession. you two are probably not doing anything special, maybe just walking down the street or something when, let’s say you encounter an old friend who you haven’t seen in a while. obviously you’re happy to see them, so you ask hisoka to wait and you two just chat and are clearly having a good time catching up when hisoka abruptly cuts you off, telling your friend rather coldly that you both need to go. so you’re forced to say a rushed goodbye. later that night, you ask hisoka about what happened, and he tells you darkly that you were being overly “friendly” earlier ❀✿＊*

ᥫ᭡ the “proposal” will hardly be a question. hisoka also doesn’t bother with any sentiment. he simply realizes that he doesn’t want anyone else to touch you or be with you, sort of like that one time he got angry with illumi for saying that he would kill gon at the hunter exam, but not in a fighting way, in an actual possessive “love” type way. he tells you that you’ll simply have no choice but to marry him because it’s the only way he can keep you to himself. hisoka won’t care much whether you like it or not.

“mmm… now we can’t just have people coming up to you left and right, now, can we? you’ll just have to marry me, i suppose- it’ll be a surefire way to keep you all to myself, sweetheart.”

─•~❉᯽❉~•─ 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐢 ─•~❉᯽❉~•─

♡̩̥̩♡̩̩̥͙♡̩͙ˊˎ﹤ illumi would be content to do the whole fancy date night thing and the get down on one knee bit purely because it’s tradition. he doesn’t really know how else to do it, and he refuses to consult his mother because she would never get off his case about it.

however, poor illumi who isn’t great with intimacy or social cues, just straight up asks you where you’d want to be if he were to propose to you. it just makes his intentions obvious, but you play along.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ at least illumi had the sense to surprise you with the ring instead of physically taking you to the jewelry store and having you pick out your own ring and ruining the surprise. it will absolutely, definitely be the most extravagant, expensive ring you’ve ever seen in your life.

💚⛪️illumi isn’t a romantic, so when the night is almost over, he’ll promptly get down and propose to you. there’s no long speech about all the things he loves about you or how you’d make him the happiest man in the world. it’s just simply,

“will you marry me?”

to be honest, it wouldn’t matter if you said yes or no, you’re marrying him regardless. illumi doesn’t really take no for an answer. 🪦📺

☆.｡.:* 𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨 ‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾

🕰💚📺🍀⛪️ chrollo may be the ruthless leader of the most feared group of murderous thieves in the world- but when it comes to romance, he just melts. with all the literature he reads, he can’t help but be a hopeless romantic- he believes in fairy tales, love at first sight, everything. so when he finally decides he wants to marry you, he doesn’t take it lightly- he plans literal months in advance.

chrollo will book a vacation spot for you two far away, where you two will be all alone in a cottage in a beautiful field filled with trees and other foliage. flowers are a classic but romantic way to show someone you love them, so this will be where he’ll propose. he’ll surprise you with the plane tickets one night, maybe just before bed, so you’ll have something to look forward to in the morning.

the day chrollo proposes will be the same date as the day you first met. that morning, you’ll wake up alone in your vacation cottage, wondering where chrollo went and why he didn’t inform you that he was going out. at first, you think maybe his duties as a spider called for him, but then you remember that he was the one who booked this vacation, and it would be highly unlikely he’d leave you for something like that. so now you’re even more perplexed- and it only adds to your confusion when you find a red dress on the nightstand beside the bed with a scribbled note telling you to wear it. it’s a new dress, one you’ve never seen before, so you assume chrollo must have gotten it for you.

after getting dressed, you step out the door, wondering if maybe you can find chrollo wandering in the field so where- it wasn’t uncommon for you to discover him alone in the mornings with a thoughtful expression on his face, staring into nothing. but you don’t see chrollo. instead, you almost step on a dark red rose- and as you move out of its way, you nearly step on a second one. confused, you finally look up and see a long trail of roses stretching all throughout the field from the door of the cottage. it’s a very irregular trail, the flowers zigzagging all over the place and only staying in straight lines for a little while. clearly, they were arranged there, waiting for you to follow them. so follow you did- the same trail of vibrant red roses throughout the whole field. while following the roses, you notice a growing number of pure white flowers surrounding the roses- petunias, daisies, lilies, and even white roses- creating such an obvious contrast you know for sure now chrollo has something planned. however, you can’t deny that the sight is absolutely stunning.

after much walking, you finally reach the end of the trail, at which sits a very tall, thick tree, white flowers flowing from its branches. at the foot of the tree is chrollo, standing there with his face aglow and in a white suit. behind him, clinging to the tree’s trunk is a ladder, nailed to the bark. when you ask what’s going on, chrollo simply asks you to follow him up the ladder. despite your apprehension about the stability of the ladder, you join him in climbing up, jokingly telling him that the dress he for you isn’t quite suited for tree-climbing. he tells you to just wait.

you two finally reach the top, and in the thick branches there is a gathering of vines- thick enough to hold you both. chrollo helps you into the bundle of plants; it’s almost like a bowl; and with a beaming smile he asks you to look out over the field you just crossed. wondering what in the world he is up to, you oblige- and finally see that the trail of roses you followed across the field spells out “will you marry me?”

when you turn back around in complete shock to stare at chrollo, he’s on one knee with a hopeful, genuine smile on his face, and he simply asks you the same question the roses spell out for you. needless to say, it’s a yes from you. 🍃🍂🌳🕸🪦

(i definitely went overboard with chrollo’s😭😭)

Unpopular opinion: Kakashi wasn't wrong when he tried to tell Sasuke that he shouldn't seek revenge because he can see how it was dragging Sasuke onto the darkness and effecting his mental state and there's nothing similar at all between Sasuke's revenge and Shikamaru's revenge who had everything planned and wasn't getting consumed by i like Sasuke, and Sasuke leaving the village wasn't Kakashi's fault either, Kakashi's words were actually getting to him but the sound 4 showed up and ruined everything and then took advantage of the fact that Kakashi left for a mission and won't be there to stop them.

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

As expected, I strongly agree with it. In fact, I am quite vocal about that topic and made 2 separate post about it, on here and here. I’ll not repeat myself on this post but to summarize the main point of those two posts is :

REVENGE IS NOT WRONG, BUT OBSESSING WITH REVENGE IS HARMFUL

Why? Because one-minded thought (obsession) of revenge made Sasuke like this :

and this 

“I don’t care what happens to me or others as long as I have my revenge”

Dunno about the you guys, but if my kid or someone I love has this kind of mindset, I’ll try to make him look and treasure other things apart from revenge. Because revenge is like addiction. It can consume you, it can make you sacrifice many things that you deemed not as important as revenge, and most importantly, you don’t gain any new from revenge except personal satisfaction and perhaps peaceful mind. The deed is done, the dead stays dead. If you obsessed with revenge to the point that you deemed any other things unimportant, what’s left to you after the revenge is fulfilled. Emptiness. That’s what Kakashi warned to Sasuke and why he desperately wanted Sasuke to look once again on his heart to find anything except his revenge inside him, because for him, Sasuke is not a ball of revenge, but a kid who had future and bond awaits him, unshackled from his past. I am not saying that Kakashi handled it perfectly. Sasuke needs long-term motivation and careful treatment to handle his issue. The thing is, Kakashi has such a limited time for that (I already said about this on my other post iirc).

While I understand those crowd who crave hard-fulfilled revenge, but Naruto ain’t the correct media for that. That’s not the moral lesson that the author tried to deliver. In my observation, in last couple of years entertainment medias like comic or drama who have revenge plot flourished so much. In medias like webtoon, kakaopage, even manga I found tons of titles that has summary like this :

And that’s okay. There’s no harm on fictional hateful chopping-chopping as a treat XD

But when the time Naruto is released, majority of medias, especially kids media, are more accepting at “anti-revenge” as moral lesson. If you think Naruto are extreme about this topic, then look at Hunter x Hunter. There’s a character who has revenge as his main goal too, named Kurapika Kurta. His clan was massacred by Phantom Troupe and his clan members’ eyes are taken because they’re pretty and expensive on underground sale). At some point, Kurapika managed to capture the leader of Phantom Troupe, but the Phantom Troupe gang managed to capture Killua and Gon a.k.a Kurapika’s friends. Both side proposed an exchange, then came this scene :

So here Kurapika has his desire person to avenge on his palm, but he valued his friends so much so he’s willing to trade his dream for his friends’ safety. And the said friends, although they can escape, used this moment to stop Kurapika’s revenge, because they don’t want Kurapika to be a murderer. Compared to any moments in Naruto, that scene above is the most blatant example of “stopping revenge because the characters thought that revenge is wrong”, and the show painted this scene as good and heartwarming moment. 

Personally, while I understand Killua and Gon’s feeling, I can’t help but feel annoyed by them. Mind you, one kid is literal elite assassin since birth and the other kid once used a random person’s life as a bait to grab his opponent’s tag. And they both never felt the loss of someone important to them, then when Gon (the black haired kid) finally experienced it, he went berserk in rage. So like, what’s so wrong with Kurapika became murderer in the world where murder is so normalized? But that’s the lesson that the author tried to instill, so I as audience accept it and search for other media if I want more murder-murdery revenge plot, not forcing my mindset and accusing the author for bad writing while they already made their moral stand clear on the media that they create by their own hands. That’s rude and ungrateful, imo.

Anyway, on the other hand, before Pain arc, Naruto franchise doesn’t have this moral lesson. Team 7 has no problem when Sasuke said that he wanted to kill certain someone, Kakashi gave him his arsenal jutsu and advise him for the sake of his power growth to defeat Itachi, Jiraiya let him has his first fight with Itachi out of respect toward Sasuke’s feeling. There’s no sabotaging on Sasuke’s attempt on revenge like the HxH example above. BUT, when the said obsession of revenge made Sasuke tried to endanger himself and his comrade, that’s the point where Kakashi draw the line and discouraged his revenge. At that plot point, when I put myself in the place of someone who was concerned for Sasuke’s well-being, I can’t help but agree with him completely. I honestly can’t understand those who claim they love Sasuke yet support this kind of self-destructive mindset.

As for whether Sasuke left the village is Kakashi’s fault or not,  I admit that his talk to Sasuke is clumsy and not as impactful as the talk Iruka did to Naruto. But it’s not failed completely. That clumsy talk went through Sasuke’s mind, and he contemplated it from noon till night. Sasuke who on hospital dismissed Sakura and saw Naruto as power measurer, consider them as people whom he doesn’t want to lose.

The main reason why the talk was failed in the end is because Sound 4 deliberately attacked Sasuke when Kakashi is absent. Also means that Sound 4 know Kakashi’s presence potentially can make their mission failed.

Blame Kakashi when the Sound 4 deliberately attempted to move after he went out the picture is unfair, don’t you think? It’s not like he’s to lazy to supervise Sasuke or something, he was assigned to mission and the man didn’t even have much time to recover himself from Tsukuyomi coma. And immediate after he came back from the mission, he immediately tried to track Sasuke, even disregarding direct order from his Hokage. But then the rain came washed all Sasuke’s track and he was too late to arrive on VotE.

Like, guys, what more can he do? What more do you want from him? Why did he have such a bad luck? XD

Killua x Reader

⚡You and killua had started dating after the hunter exam.

⚡it had been at least 7-9 years that you two were together.

⚡One day while you were at work, he was at home fiddling with a small box the size of a kiwifruit. he sighed as he put it in an empty drawer in his nightstand next to your guys’s shared bed.

⚡once you got home this boi was like a literal cat. he got up very quickly and darted out of the room towards you and hugged you, picking you up and placing many kisses all over your face.

⚡It made him happy just to be in the same room as you. let alone getting to hug you.

⚡this precious bean quickly brought you to the dining room where he had (favorite meal) already cooked and set out.

⚡He glanced at you and smirked when he saw you smiling.

⚡”C’mon lets eat!” he said, quickly sitting you down and he sat down too.

⚡once you both finished eating and got cleaned up killua pulled the small box out of the nightstand and ran infront of you and quickly got on one knee, holding the open box infront of him

⚡”Y/n l/n! will you be my sugar cube forever and accept this ring? y’know, cuz i wanna marry you and all-”

⚡You giggled, on the brim of tears and nodded. he put the ring on your finger and smiled, standing up and kissing you gently on the lips, many.. many times..

⚡you both fell back onto the bed and kept kissing 👀

I tend to see a lot of people say that Togashi will leave things uncertain and ambiguous in between Killua and Gon, and while it’s a possibility, I honestly don’t think it’s the most likely thing to happen, and if it did, ambiguous wouldn’t be the correct term to call it.

People often say that Togashi likes to play with ambiguity when it comes to queer matters. Yes, Togashi likes to play with gender. We get to see that through Kite, Pitou and Kalluto in HxH (although its arguable because Kite is definitely not cis). But when Togashi decides that a character is queer, or that there is a relationship going on between two characters, he doesn’t leave it ambiguous.

Togashi has created queer characters in 3 of his main works : Yu Yu Hakusho, Level E and Hunter x Hunter. And everytime he created those characters, he made damn sure that everyone knew that these characters were queer. No room for any sort of ambiguity.

The first examples I have are from Yu Yu Hakusho, with a character named Miyuki, and the other is from Level E, with a character named Kyoko Mikihisa.

For these two characters, Togashi made it so that they emphasized themselves that they were trans. It’s painted extremely clearly, that they were born in the wrong body. There’s literally no room for any sort of ambiguity here.

Togashi could’ve easily kept things ambiguous. There are plenty of ways he could’ve done it, keeping the character’s gender confusing. But he didn’t. He made it EXTRA clear that these characters were trans. This is mostly why I genuinely don’t believe you can describe Togashi’s queer rep as “ambiguous”. Because when the characters tell you themselves that they are, it’s canon. It’s not ambiguous.

Now, sometimes, Togashi likes to play it more subtle. He doesn’t make his characters say “I’m gay” or “I’m trans”, but he finds another way to say it.

In YYH, Togashi wrote a gay character : Itsuki. And he’s canonically gay, because when talking about another man, Sensui, he mentions that he sees him as a lover.

It’s subtle. It’s not ambiguous.

Same thing for Alluka, Alluka never comes on screen and says “I’m a trans girl !”. The reason we know that Alluka is canonically a trans girl is because the Zoldycks insist on misgendering her, while Killua emphasizes that she’s a girl.

And once again, it’s subtle. Not ambiguous. Even though I’ve seen a lot of redditors say that “Alluka’s gender is ambiguous”, Togashi is literally doing his utmost to highlight subtly that yes, Alluka is a trans girl.

But subtlety is not canon’s enemy. Not everything has to be painted clearly for it to be canon. Sometimes, you just have to piece every little clue together yourself. Just because the word “trans” is never canonically stated in HxH concerning Alluka, it doesn’t make her any less of a trans girl. Because as the audience, we UNDERSTOOD from the subtext and from the clash in gendering that she is trans.

So, yes, Togashi likes to be subtle. But subtlety doesn’t make things any less canon.

I’m drifting a bit to non-queer matters, but I also want to talk about two relationships in Togashi’s work that were canonically romantic, but subtle.

The first is Meruem and Komugi. It’s canon that the nature of their relationship was romantic. They never did couple-y things, or even kissed. But it doesn’t make the nature of their relationship ambiguous. Because it was once again, subtle, but drowning in subtext that Togashi deliberately put there.

Togashi paralleled Killua saying that him dying with Gon would be a shinjuu (lover’s suicide), only for it to not happen in the end - but Togashi wanted to throw that word in. So we could have it at the back of our heads. Because when Meruem and Komugi died, it was a shinjuu. It was two lovers dying by the same method with the belief that they’d be united in the afterlife. Meruem only cared about spending his last moments playing with Komugi. They both said that they were only born to experience this moment, of being in pure bliss as they die together. When Komugi replies to Meruem and says that she’ll join him in death, she uses an old phrasing used to accept marriages proposals. They died holding hands.

It was subtle, but canon. Because of all these clues and all the subtext Togashi planted, it is undeniable that their relationship was romantic. And they never kissed, never said “i love you”, but we still know : and that’s the beauty of subtlety.

Because yes, romance can be subtle AND canon.

Another example of a canon romantic relationship that was never officialized by a kiss : Keiko and Yusuke in Yu Yu Hakusho. Correct me if I’m wrong, but while they kissed in the anime, they never kiss in the manga.

But a relationship doesn’t need to be canonized by a kiss. I’ve never seen/read YYH, but while I was doing research, I read that their relationship grew naturally over the course of the manga. That they grew together, were affectionate with each other, but never told each other the nature of their feelings. Until one specific moment towards the end of the manga where this happens:

All of this came naturally. No big confession, just a confirmation of what they both felt. And no kiss either ! No hand holding, no true “romantic” actions, either before or after that chapter. Just feelings. I’m quoting one of the post I used as reference, but “On one hand it's beautiful to finally hear it, but on the other, it's not even surprising. You find yourself caught off guard by how easily you're willing to accept that these two have felt this way throughout the entire series.”

And while it’s subtle, because you’d expect at least a kiss or something, it’s canon and undeniable that their relationship is romantic. It’s clear that the two of them are in love, even if they never kissed. Because it was clear from the beginning that this was where their relationship was going : all the building up to that one moment where they both basically tell each other “oh yeah, btw, i love you”. A simple confirmation of what they both knew, and of what we as readers knew too.

I guess my point is that Togashi can insist on the nature of his characters and relationships. He insisted that Miyuki, Mikihisa and Alluka were trans. But sometimes he also likes to be subtle, and not put everything plainly. But the subtlety doesn’t discredit its the canon legitimacy.

Now, onto what it means for Killua and Gon. 

I emphasized that Togashi liked to highlight when his characters are queer. There are absolutely NO DOUBTS that Miyuki and Alluka are trans girls, Mikihisa a trans man and that Itsuki was gay. It’s in canon. But they were all brought up differently, and it was either confirmed by them saying it themselves or by the context and subtext surrounding their queer identity.

But Togashi never left it ambiguous. We always had canon confirmation that they were queer. What I’m saying is, there’s a very, very high probability that Killua is gay and in love with Gon. We’ve seen it in the incredible amount of subtext deliberately placed by Togashi. And like I said, Togashi never left the nature of his queer characters ambiguous. So it’s highly likely that Togashi will confirm in canon at some point that Killua is gay. 

Now, while it’s likely Togashi will canonize Killua being queer plainly by either him saying it or subtext (just like Alluka), it doesn’t mean that his relationship with Gon will be canonized plainly too.

I mentioned earlier that Komugi/Meruem and Keiko/Yusuke’s relationships were subtle, while undeniably romantic. So maybe this will be the case for Killua and Gon’s relationship too. It looks like Togashi’s style for writing romance is show, not tell, thus making it a possibility that it’ll be the same for Killua and Gon.

But I can assert with 100% certainty that Togashi will NOT leave their relationship ambiguous. Maybe it’ll be subtle, but NOT ambiguous. Just like Meruem/Komugi and Yusuke/Keiko.

Killua and Gon’s relationship is the backbone of HxH, and it’s very clear that Togashi’s intent from the beginning of the story was to canonize it as a love story. When Togashi wrote Killua, he incorporated elements of Tanabata, a legend about two lovers, in his story, and made Tanabata his birthday. Togashi queer coded Killua from the beginning, and I honestly doubt that he would never canonize it, when it was his intent to queer code him from the beginning. He made the both of them have an extremely deep relationship, being each other’s most important person. Combine this with all the subtext, and yeah, it’s pretty clear that HxH is a love story.

So yes, Togashi wouldn’t leave ambiguous something he planned from the beginning of the story. Especially since HxH is his first chance at writing a manga and being able to do everything he wants with it. Especially when Togashi’s gay manga got turned down 30 years ago.

I mentioned Togashi never leaving stuff ambiguous, but rather either putting it plainly or more subtly. And honestly, I’m thinking it’s going to be a mix of both for Killua and Gon. A mix of subtlety and undeniable proof of the romantic nature of their relationship. Exactly like Yusuke and Keiko’s relationship. 

I feel like Killua and Gon’s relationship perfectly mirrors Yusuke and Keiko’s, and I can totally picture it following the same patterns. By having their relationship grow even deeper as they reunite, with no explicit romantic gestures, just deep, deep feelings. Until ultimately, they both confirm it one way or another. 

I could literally picture Gon turning to Killua, telling him out of the blue something they’ll do when they get married, Killua being confused but Gon saying something like “Well, I wanna get married to you Killua. Don���t you want to?” and Killua almost choking but saying that yeah, he’d like that. Plain and simple. No romantic gesture. No kiss, no hand holding, no feelings confession under the stars. Just a mutual assessment of what they both already knew.

But honestly, I’m saying all this to try and be objective, but I’m not in Togashi’s head. Togashi could also very much go absolutely crazy and make Killua and Gon share a kiss, hold hands, affirm their love out loud, Because it’s his first chance at being free to do what he wants with his manga. And because he’s been wanting to draw a gay manga for a while, he might want to emphasize that HxH is queer.

Especially when it seems like Togashi likes to incorporate shoujo elements in his work.

And as @/sincerelysamedt mentioned in her wonderful post, queer relationships are often dismissed as platonic in media, and that it’s important to overplay it to canonize it efficiently. And Togashi is probably aware of this. Hence Killua’s stuttering, blushing, the constant gay poetic lines Gon tells Killua about how he’s so glad he met him, Killua’s inner monologues comparing Gon to light itself, multiple characters highlighting their mutual love, a date under the stars where they mutually affirm their want to stay together and travel the world while they both blush.........Togashi didn’t have to go THIS hard, but he did.

These panels highlight the difference between the subtle relationships I talked about above. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Togashi represented Yusuke or Keiko having internal monologues about how they wanted to stay with the other forever or poetically comparing each other to light. It proves that while Togashi likes to play it subtle, he's also not afraid to put extremely cliché shoujo tropes and heartfelt moments in his narrative too. Maybe he’s aware that internalized homophobia might pose a problem to the narrative he’s trying to convey, and thus he might be enclined to overplay it. 

When you keep in mind that Togashi most likely wrote Killua and Gon with the intent of making their relationship a love story, you can see that he’s never really written with the intent of being ambiguous or even subtle, providing us with multiple intense scenes of mutual devotion. And that’s one thing that’s leading me to believe he wouldn’t shy away from delivering highly emotional scenes that would canonize their mutual love. Because their relationship has never truly been portrayed as subtle, or ambiguous, it’s just.... developing.

So yeah, it could go either way ! Either Togashi will decide to paint it subtly like every relationship he’s painted in the past, or he’ll either decide to go all out and maybe show us an extremely heartfelt confession under the stars, maybe even an on-screen kiss (the latter option being highly likely considering all the very emotional scenes between them we’ve already had) - (EDIT : i wrote a post on why i believe there’ll be an explicit confession if you want to read it !)

But one thing is certain : it will never stay ambiguous, because Togashi has never painted any of his queer characters or the relationships between his characters as ambiguous, Subtle, yes. Ambiguous, no. 

[charming-2d-boys]

How would Kurapika and Adult trio react to a fem!s/o proposing to them? Really just a random idea that popped out in my head lmao. Also, I looooove your writing zefrhrhegzfeq I hope you're having a good day, hun <3 -Yasu

Hello! Thank you and I really loved your piece about Hisoka and I can't wait for more! 😍

Thanks for the request and I'll try my best! 🙇💕

Chrollo

honestly?

a bit upset

he’s never viewed marriage as something that important

but now that he’s found the one, he wanted to experience a marriage proposal

only that he wanted to be the one to do it

so for you to do it instead is a bit of a bittersweet experience for him

of course, he’ll forgive you in the end

especially if you made it very romantic, like pouring your heart and soul into it

and most importantly, did it in the privacy of your home

if he’d have done it in public, Chrollo would’ve had no issue going all out and embarrassing you

but you doing it instead?

he’d feel pressured to accept and that would make him extremely uncomfortable and flustered - you might just have a serious talk later

so either wait some time for things to cool down before he proposes

or do it like I said above - romantic and showing him that you want this more than anything

Chrollo will actually blush if you do it like that, guaranteed

Hisoka

one of the only ones who’d probably be flustered, flattered and amused to top it off

marriage? what’s that?

okay, but no, really

Hisoka is actually surprised that you’d even wanted to date him for so long

but marry him?

damn, you’re in deep, aren’t you?

to him, marriage is just... a social convention

it’s more like the cake, the clothes, the honeymoon that interest him when it comes to weddings

but the more he thinks about it, the nicer it sounds

especially when it comes to the two of you being in this scenario

he’ll probably accept, even in public

who cares?

Hisoka’s getting married 😂

and just guess who’s gonna be his best man

Illumi

this dumbass

just flat out no

why?

because he’s a man-child

he wanted to propose to you first

what a dummy

don’t be sad or discouraged

that’s just the way Illumi’s been taught

all his life, especially before Killua, he was the oldest one, the heir, the one who was supposed to control everything

having that taken away was upsetting enough

and now this too?

yeah, you get it

he wants to do it

talk to him and explain why you did it and that he can do it instead

he’ll probably propose to you on the spot or a few days later

...idiot

Kurapika

another one who would probably accept

but with it comes a big blush on his face

again, he probably would’ve wanted to do it himself

but honestly, as long as Kurapika gets to be with you

he’s gonna be happy

but, he wants to help and have a say in organising the wedding

at least give him that

also, Leorio, Gon and Killua will be his best men

and he’ll probably ask Melody to play the music at his wedding

I’m telling you, the music and his vows will make everyone present cry

get the tissues and be ready for a healthy dose of crying

A Hunter’s Prey: Hair Massages and Kisses

I sat up within the covers of the bed. My hands absentmindedly covered my cold exterior. “A new mission?” I questioned while looking into his eyes. A spark of pain raced across the dark black irises. “Why would Chrollo want you on a mission this early? He just let you join.” 

Illumi walked back to take a seat next to me. His eyes left my own as he stared deeply into the wall. A few pieces of hair fell onto his face. He must be as cold as I was. I hands wrap tightly around his broad shoulders while my head lay on his back. A calming peace washed over me as I noticed he didn’t flinch with my touches as much. There was only a slight hesitation when my fingertips hit his back. 

“They decided to join a ship sailing out to the outer continent beyond the known world.” While speaking, He moved his hand so that he could touch the supple skin that was wrapped so tightly around him. 

“What do you mean?” I question while placing soft kisses on his neck and upper shoulder. “Does this mean you’ll be leaving me again?”

“Yes,” Illumi says. His voice gained the same monotone that was used so regularly throughout our time. I was beginning to realize that he spoke with a void of emotion because he had to. Emotion was beat out of him so long ago. The small peaks and dips in his voice were only for those closest to him. 

“Can’t you stay with me?”

“It’s my job,” he mumbles while finally turning to look at me. The saddened glimpse in his eyes softened the harsh gaze. “I have to go.”

“When do you have to leave?”

“The ship embarks tomorrow night.” My grip tightened around his shoulders. A small tear ran down my face at the realization of it all. Illumi had returned to me yet he had to leave once again. “Why are you sad? You should know this is part of my job.”

“Ill,” I sigh while giving a bit to wipe my stray tear. “I just got you back and you’re leaving. Do you know how long you’ll be gone this time?”

“How about we stay in bed a little bit longer. The dock isn’t that far away. We can wash up and lay here awhile longer.”

Illumi pulled away from me to start walking across the room towards the shower. My hands fell to my side as he left. “Illumi? Are you trying to spare my feelings?” 

My hands twisted into a blanket that was thrown on the bed in our hasty activity. I wrap the fuzzy warmth around my bare flesh before following the tall man to the bathroom. His nakedness didn’t bother him one bit as he turned on the shower. 

I stopped at the doorway, afraid to move. Illumi finished the action of turning on the shower to the perfect temperature before he looked back at me. The glimmer of water fell from my lover’s pale face. Only a single tear dared to cross him. “It’s a long time, huh?”

His hand wiped across his face before looking at the wetness as if it was a forgein creature. I dropped the warm blanket before my arms found the frame of the tall man. My head buried deep into his chest. “It’ll be okay.”

Illumi’s eyes never left his hand. His head cocked to the side like a confused child learning to read. “Why are you confused?” I ask while looking up at him. 

“Tears. I haven’t cried in-,” his voice trailed off. “I shouldn’t be-.”

“You can cry,” I say while mirroring his confused stare. A typical emotion for me must feel so empty for him. He was a child having to relearn old information that was beat out of him so long ago. “Let’s just take a shower.” I’d dropped the blanket before climbing into the shower. The warm heat rushing over my body like a cascading river. I tugged on Illumi’s hand to pull him into my tight space. His body towered over my frame while taking all the water. 

The shower became a tango of finding perfect angles. When one got enough water, the other hadn’t finished. We stumbled and pushed through this task even though it was the most normal thing we’d done together. 

Illumi’s hair routine was far more complex than my own. I hadn’t realized Illumi starting to wash my hand until I felt his hands drap through my locks. The water washing over me and Illumi’s hands made me wish we could stay here forever. 

“I wanted to wash you from the first time I saw you undress,” he whispered in my ear before laying a soft kiss on my temple. “You looked so beautiful but terrified.”

“I was,” I said while leaning into Illumi’s touch. Not even the hairdresser could give the same satisfaction as his hands intertwined in my hair. “You shouldn’t have watched me.”

“But I wanted to. You were so beautiful that I couldn’t keep my hands off you.” Once he was done washing my hair, his hands roamed down my shoulders and below. Our intimate moment had nothing to do with sexual satisfaction. 

It isn’t until his hands reach my hips that I finally turn to look at him. I allow my hands to roam ever crevasse on his sculpted body. My hands only stop once I reach his face. I pull him in for a soft, slow kiss. “How long are you going to be gone?”

“I do not know when I will return. Chrollo said a minimum of two months.” My heart dropped to the floor. Illumi moved his hands to cup my face. “I will be fine.” He kisses me with the same softness as before. 

“You better return to me. I didn’t realize my love for you for nothing.” We stayed under the water until the drips of coldness hit our bodies. Kisses and mumbled “I love you’s” were mentioned too many times to count. It was almost sickening how sweet we were. 

I turned off the water before drying us both off. Once dry, we changed into clothes that would be more comfortable. We deserved a soft evening to ourselves before… The bed was the only place where we could take solace in each other's arms. 

Illumi held me tightly while my head lay on his chest. Our bodies intertwined like two strings. “I do have a job for you so that you’ll be less bored.”

“Is it more difficult than getting you into a troupe that your brother could’ve done?”

“Yes. At least it should be a little more complex. You will be able to travel more.”

“What is this task?”

“I want you to find someone.”

“Will I get paid?” I question with a smile plastered on my face.

“No. But I will promise to propose properly upon the time I arrive back home,” responded Illumi. 

“What will I be doing?”

Illumi sighs before stroking the small of my back. “I’ve been following my brother for a long time. When he returned home, I was able to track him down. I’ve lost sight of him recently due to actions with the rest of my family.”

“You want me to track down Killua?” I question. 

“No. I want you to find his so-called friend. His name is Gon Freecss. I want you to find him. He might know where to find Killua and Alluka.”

“What if I find them?”

“Keep in contact with them. Hopefully Killua knows who you are. I told him about you.”

I looked up to see Illumi’s eyes. My face was washed with confusion. “You told your brother about me? When?”

“Told him is a strong word choice. I texted him about it. About our proposal and future marriage. I wanted to get the blessing of all members of the Zoldyck family who matter. As future head of the house, I wanted him to know.”

“When did you tell him?”

“The moment I laid eyes on you.” A smile crossed Illumi’s pale face. 

“He didn’t seem to know me when we met at the manor.”

“Killua must’ve forgotten. That is all.” Illumi spoke quickly which I took as a reason to back off the subject. “Will you accept my mission?”

“Of course.”

Gon was compared to a diamond, Killua to a sapphire; Killua later won a card called "Rainbow Diamond" which is used for guaranted acceptance of a proposal, which he then gives to Gon.

[storybookprincess]

stare down demons, come back breathing--chapter 2

On second thought, perhaps Gon’s proposal was a bad idea.

Gon’s made his peace with his feelings with Killua.  For the most part, at least. He’s accepted that he’s loved Killua for five years now, for so long he no longer really remembers what it felt like not to love him.  And he’s accepted that Killua’s never shown the slightest interest, that Killua is truly exceptional and Gon is wholly ordinary and so he can’t really be surprised that his feelings aren’t reciprocated.  So he merely enjoys what they do have together. Killua’s friendship is the greatest gift Gon’s ever received; it’s the farthest thing from a consolation prize he can imagine. It’s enough. More than enough.  And so Gon quite firmly pushes the longing and desperation out of his mind and accepts things as they are. For the most part.

But it’s moments like these when Gon’s control begins to slip.  Moments like Killua emerging from the bathroom, soft and clean in a baggy, faded t-shirt.  Like the drop of water that falls from his damp hair onto his collarbone and traces an utterly mesmerizing path towards his throat.  Like Gon perched on Killua’s bed and Killua hesitating before sitting beside him. Like Gon and Killua, now inches apart, the warmth from the hot water radiating off of him and the scent of his shampoo, sweet and fresh, and the t-shirt slipping off his shoulder slightly, revealing a few extra inches of skin to which Gon could press his lips so gently and Killua could gasp and Gon could smile against his shoulder and Killua could feel it and smile too.

“So, um, how are we doing this?” Killua asks, staring at the carpet.

Gon breaks from his reverie.  Like he’d thought--it’s a terrible idea.

Summary:

“Gon…” Killua drops his head into the shallow water of the tide pool. Water splashes everywhere, his bangs getting soaked as they land directly into the pool. The movement hides his blazing red face. “You’re missing the point.”

“What point?”

Killua explodes, head snapping up to shout at Gon, “Merpeople mate for life, stupid! If—If you’re really serious about the courting thing, we would be together forever!”

(Or, Gon gives Killua a shell, not knowing that giving shells is akin to proposal in merpeople speak. Killua tries to give it back, and Gon wants to know why Killua doesn't want his gift.)

Title for this fic comes from this song. This fic was written for a very special follower of mine on tumblr, @starlight-ciel! They are incredibly kind to me and have left me so many touching reviews that I wanted to return their kindness to them...and this was the result! Thank you to anyone who reads this!

“Gon...”

“Hm?” The freckled teenager leans down to pick up another shell. He inspects it carefully with honey colored eyes and Killua watches him in turn.

“Isn’t it getting kind of late?” Killua asks.

“Is it?” Gon finally looks away from the shell to the orange and scarlet tinted sky. He blinks, as if surprised to see the sun dipping down low to graze the ocean’s horizon.

Killua snorts. Of course Gon hadn’t noticed the time. The human was surprisingly oblivious about the simplest of things. But Killua could feel his scales shifting and changing colors in reaction to the slowly dimming light. There's no way the setting sun could escape his attention.

“Yes, it is. The sun is setting—” ‘and the water is growing colder,’ he adds silently. Not good for vulnerable humans like Gon, “—and you should probably get back to the mainland soon. Won’t your aunt be worried?”

“Mm...probably.”

Killua groans out loud and Gon rushes to assure him, “It’s okay, Killua! Really! She’ll just assume I got held back with some lifeguard stuff.” He spots the skeptical expression on Killua’s face. “We can head back soon, I promise. I just need to get a few more of these.”

He holds up the shell, a hopeful grin gracing his lips. Some of the anxiety in Killua’s chest loosens at the sight and he sighs in defeat.

“Okay,” he says, dropping his head to lean on his crossed forearms. “Fine. Just a bit longer. But if you don’t hurry up, I’ll resort to threats.”

A whine from Gon. “Killuaaaaa—”

“Don’t ‘Killua’ me! You can’t get back to the beach without me, remember? You have to listen to me, you don’t have a choice.”

Gon sticks out his tongue, but the edges of his eyes crinkle with a smile. “Meanie!”

“Stupid,” Killua shoots back and Gon lets out a bark of laughter. Their banter is a part of their everyday conversations—had been, since the day they met months and months ago at the start of the summer, in the middle of the open sea—and it’s something Killua looks forward to every day.

Killua continues to lean up against the rocky edge of the tide pool, his inhuman eyes following Gon as he shuffles around the pools of water. Whenever Gon finds a shell to his liking, he makes a satisfied hum and puts it in the small pouch around his waist. The pouch must be nearly full by now. Gon had been at this shell-collecting thing all day.

“Why do you collect so many of the shells anyway?” Killua finally asks a few minutes later. He swishes his tail around behind him, just to keep it covered in the salty water and prevent it from drying out. “There’s a ton of shells all over the main beach. It’s not like they’re special or anything.”

“Me and my Aunt Mito collect them!” Gon says cheerfully. Killua’s heard bits and pieces about this ‘Aunt Mito’ over the past summer. She must be an amazing woman if Gon’s word are anything to go by. “We have jars of them around our house.”

“Yeah, but...why?” Killua asks again. At least the shells and shards beach glass woven in his own white locks have a purpose. Humans, though—they didn’t wear shells. They’re not considered a show of status, or clan ranking, or anything else. So why did Gon collect them, when no one else seemed to care?

“Because!” Gon says in that stubborn tone of his. “They’re pretty!”  

Killua holds back another groan. That’s not an answer. It’s not even close to an answer—

Gon looks at him then, his gaze like molten gold under the light of the setting sun. It steals the breath from Killua’s lungs and his scales tingle with electric sparks. Gon can stir up all sorts of emotions inside Killua without even trying—without even blinking.

“You collect them, too,” Gon says and Killua looks at him blankly. “You wear them in your hair, and in your jewelry!”

Killua flushes. The blush paints his unnaturally pale skin a dark pink, traveling from the nape of his neck to his cheeks to the tips of his ears. “Th-That’s different.”

Because they were. Gon didn’t understand the importance of the moon shells hanging across the back of Killua’s skull, nor the purple sand glass shards that had been woven into a braid next to his bangs. He didn’t see how the shell was a symbol of his family. Nor that the sand glass from Alluka meant he had pledged himself to starting a new clan with her—and only her.

(Gon hadn’t fully understood the meaning of their underwater kiss, either. But Killua would sooner drown than explain that.)

Gon isn’t a mermaid, no matter how fascinating and utterly amazing Killua sees him. How can he possibly understand anything of the merpeople’s life?

“Why?”

Killua looks back up to see Gon frowning at him.

“How is me collecting the shells any different than what you do?” Gon asks him. “You think they’re pretty too, don’t you?”

“Y-Yes, but...” Killua struggles to come up with a practical answer. It’s difficult, and he’s not sure if he wants to tell Gon the entire truth, so he settles on the simple version.

He points to the shells woven in his own silvery hair, saying, “I was given these. For a specific purpose.”

“To make you look pretty,” Gon says matter-of-factly, and Killua grits his teeth hard. He does his best to avoid thinking about the blush spreading across his face and scales. It would be too embarrassing to acknowledge the affect Gon’s words had on him.

So he swears instead, “Dammit, Gon.” And Gon laughs in kind. It’s a laugh of sunlight and warm air, the shine of the ocean on a bright, clear day.

“Killua,” Gon says, his smile as brilliant as his laugh. “Look, here—”

He squats next to where Killua is resting on the rocky edge of the tide pool, then gently takes Killua’s cold, scaly hand in his warm, calloused one. Killua lets him, scales and skin tingling alike, and watches numbly as Gon presses one of his shells into Killua’s palms.

“—to make you even more pretty!” Gon finished proudly.

Killua’s throat closes up. The shell is beautiful, almost a perfect circle with little ridges and valleys in even swirls. It’s a scarlet orange color; the color of the sun, of Gon’s eyes. It’s everything Killua has ever dreamed of, and nothing he can ever accept.

Because Gon isn’t a mermaid. He doesn’t understand.

“Gon. I...” Killua swallows thickly. “I can’t accept this.”

“Yes, you can! It’s a gift. And Aunt Mito says you always have to accept gifts, even if you don’t like them.”

Killua can feel his blush growing darker with each passing second. “It’s not that I don’t like it, stupid. I just can’t accept it.”

He tries to hold the shell out to Gon but Gon jumps away, sending a splash of saltwater into the air. Killua bites his cheek in frustration, then says through gritted teeth. “Gon, please. You don’t understand.”

For the first time that day, a frown darkens Gon’s face. He returns to kneel in front of Killua in the shallow water of the pool and takes the shell back, but it’s clear from the scowl tugging at his lips that he’s anything but happy about it. “Then help me to understand! You can’t just give my gift back then not explain, Killua!”

Killua groans. He knew that look on Gon’s face: it was pure, iconic stubbornness. Gon wasn’t going to give up until Killua gave him a straight answer. And, well...

Killua’s answer was anything but straight.

“These, uh, shells.” Killua gently touched the fragile pendants woven into his locks. “They’re a sight of my social class. Of my clan—the Zoldyck Family. And of my coming to age, and a bunch of o-other stuff...”

“Oh.” Gon blinks, like he understands even though Killua knows he doesn’t. “You mean kind of like a driver’s license?”

Now Killua is the one to blink. “A what?”

Gon’s lip twitches as if Killua had said something funny. “Never mind. Does that mean you can’t keep my shell unless it’s part of some social standing thing?”

He stares at Killua with his full attention. The intensity of his gaze is unnerving. It makes something flutter in Killua’s stomach, his heart to beat just a little bit faster. He splashes his tail in the water behind him to expand some of the nervous energy, stammering, “Y-Yeah. Exactly. I can only accept shells from elders, or other direct family members. If you gave me a shell...it would mean...”

“Would mean?” Gon presses.

Killua’s blush returns in full force, painting his cheeks the same color of the pink sky above their heads. “It would mean that you were c-courting me.”

Finally, Gon seems to understand. His eyebrows shoot up, mouth falling open in an ‘o’. “Courting...you mean, like dating?”

Killua looks away, choosing instead to focus on the sunbeams pattern in the water. “Yeah. But more, uh, permanent. If you get what I mean.”

“Oh.”

A pause. Killua can hear his own heartbeat thumping away in his ears. Gon’s shell feels heavy in his palm, like it knew it shouldn’t be there. He wants to toss it back into the ocean, out of sight and out of mind, because never in a trillion years would Gon ever—

“I mean,” Gon says suddenly, causing Killua’s heart to twist sharply. “I wouldn’t mind that too much?”

Killua’s head snaps up. “What?!”

“I—I mean.” Gon finally blushes. Freckles pop out across his cheeks and nose as his bronze skin darkens, and Killua stares at him with fascination. He’s never seen Gon so flustered. Gon isn’t the kind to get embarrassed.

But he is now, apparently.

“I l-like you? Um. I like you a lot,” Gon confesses and a euphoric feeling rushes over Killua like a wave. He doesn’t dare to breathe as Gon continues his confession through stammered out sentences, “Killua, being with you made this summer the best months of my entire life. You’re amazing, I think. And beautiful, and incredible in lots of ways. I wouldn’t mind courting you if it meant we could spend more time together. And...I really liked k-kissing you earlier. I wouldn’t, um, mind it if we did it some more?”

Gon’s words, while hesitant and clumsy, mean more than the entire ocean to Killua. But it also makes him nervous, because he isn’t sure that Gon himself exactly understands what he is trying to say.

“Gon, that’s...” Killua groans, dragging a webbed hand down the side of his face. “That’s just it.”

“What?”

“The kiss!” Killua says, cheeks a flame and blush spreading all the way to the tips of his ear fins. “To you, the kiss was just a way to help you breathe underwater. So you could come here to this tide pool.”

In his mind, Killua hears their voices from just a few hours ago—

“I wanted more shells for Aunt Mito, but I don’t think she’d like these...”

“I know a place.”

“You do?”

“Yeah. But you would have to be able to breathe underwater to get there.”

“Oh...”

“I can help with that.”

Killua takes a deep, shaking breath. He remembers exactly how Gon’s lips had felt against his when Killua breathed air and magic into his mouth. He remembers how Gon’s short-lived gills wriggled into existence on Gon’s neck, under Killua’s fingers. He remembers how the deep blush on Gon’s freckles cheeks burned underwater.

Killua will remember how Gon looked in that moment for the rest of his life, he’s sure of it.

“K-Kissing at all, even if it was just to help you breathe underwater...that’s a big step in the courting process for my people,” Killua says. It’s mortifying to even admit this, to have to explain it. Merpeople only kissed those they expected to marry. They only kissed humans to toy with them before pulling them deep, deep down to be drowned.

“Does that mean we’re already courting, then?” Gon asks and the question is so jarring that it feels like ice water has just been dumped over Killua’s head. Gon continues innocently, “I mean. You kissed me a bunch of times so I could get here.”

“Gon…” Killua drops his head into the shallow water of the tide pool. Water splashes everywhere, his bangs getting soaked as they land directly into the pool. The movement hides his blazing red face. “You’re missing the point.”

“What point?”

Killua explodes, head snapping up to shout at Gon, “Merpeople mate for life, stupid! If—If you’re really serious about the courting thing, we would be together forever!”

Killua’s breathing heavy when he finishes his outburst. His breaths come out in short pants and sea water runs down his face from his wet bangs. He’s glaring at Gon with daggers for eyes—trying to mentally will him to understand just what is at stake here—but Gon just looks back at him curiously.

Why is he looking at Killua like that?!

Gon cocks his head at Killua. Then he says, “Is that a bad thing?”

Killua’s jaw drops. Because—what?!

“What?” he echoes aloud.

“I already said I like you, Killua!” Gon exclaims passionately. “I wouldn’t have said all that stuff if I didn’t mean it!”

“You...” Killua can hear the blood rushing through his ear-fins. “You’re crazy.”

“I am not!” Gon retorts hotly, seemingly offended. “I just.” His brow furrows and Killua’s heart does a strange little stutter. “I care about you. A lot. You’re my best friend. And I really would like it if we could be more.”

“W-We’re different species!”

“Does that bother you?”

Killua’s face is in flames again. “I’m...I mean...” He swallows thickly before admitting quietly, “No...”

“Okay, then.” Gon’s face glows with a giddy, flushed beam. “What’s the problem? You like me, and I like you!”

“I—I never said—!”

“Tell me I’m wrong, then,” Gon cuts him off sharply and Killua’s mouth shuts with a click. He wasn’t sure to be angry or horribly embarrassed at having his feelings been called out so bluntly by the very person of his affections—

Gon says quietly, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have pushed out like that.” He twiddles his thumbs, before glancing at Killua again. “Maybe I am wrong. Maybe you already have someone in mind that you’d rather be with?”

“I don’t.” The words spills out of Killua’s mouth before he can stop them. He feels himself flush even darker and inwardly curses. “We. We actually came here to find mates. My family, I mean. We make the same trip every year to try and find someone for all of my siblings. I’ve never found anyone. Until...Until I found you, at least.”

Gon grins broadly. He looks absolutely thrilled as he says, “Yeah?”

Killua bites his lip. His stomach is twisting and churning—he can’t ever remember feeling felt this anxious before. “Y-Yeah. And, knowing you...you’ve made this summer the best time of my life.”

Gon lights up at Killua’s words. It’s almost hard to look at him with the pure joy he’s radiating. It eases Killua’s nerves a bit, because Gon wouldn’t react that way if he didn’t care, if...if he didn’t want the same thing that Killua did.

“So...?” Gon prompts, gently, like he knows Killua well enough that he shouldn’t push him too far.

“S-So,” Killua stammers out. He can’t believe he’s saying this—that Gon said all of that. It all feels like some sort of dream. “So I wouldn’t, uh. Mind it. Being with you. But, Gon, it would be...really, really difficult for there to be, well, anything between us. It would be next to impossible, actually—”

“So?” Gon repeats and Killua makes an incredulous noise at the back of his throat.

“So, Gon, I don’t want to tie you to a mermaid for the rest of your life! You’d have to stay close to the water, always, and I don’t want to force you to—”

“I don’t mind staying close to the water!” Gon interrupts loudly, leaning in close to Killua with a determined look in his gold eyes. “And you’re not anyone—you’re Killua! My best friend. Nothing is impossible as long as we’re together!”

Killua gawks at him. Again. He’d always known Gon was crazy but...

But this was just totally and completely insane.

“I don’t mind it, Killua,” Gon insists and edges closer to the mermaid. “Really. I don’t care as long as I’m with you.”

Killua blushes. He can’t believe he’s hearing this. Of all the things he expected to happen when he met Gon Freecss, this was probably the very last thing on a list Gon continues to cross off.

“...as long as you don’t mind being tied down to a mermaid,” Killua finally relents, weakly.

“As long as you don’t mind being tied to a human,” Gon teases right back and Killua makes a sound that’s a cross between a huff and a laugh.

“I wouldn’t.” Killua hesitates, before steeling his will and grabbing Gon’s sticky, salt-covered hand. Killua holds on tight, squeezing. “Not ever.”

Gon squeezes his webbed and pale hand back immediately. “I’m the same.” He holds out his free hand, eyes soft and impossibly warm. In his palm is the same shell he’d offered to Killua not even five minutes ago.

Killua stares at the shell. His heart is thudding erratically and it’s hard to breathe around the adrenaline rushing through his veins. This is it. There’s no turning back after this.

He glances up at Gon, who looks back expectantly. Killua asks, one last time, “Are you sure?” Everything is happening so fast that he feels winded, dizzy, high off of the intense emotions coursing through him.

“Absolutely, Killua.” There’s not an ounce of doubt in Gon’s voice. “As long as we get to stay together, that’s all that matters to me. As long as I get to stay with you.”

Killua smiles so widely that his cheeks ache. He can’t remember the last time he smiled so much, and so hard. And it’s all because of Gon.

So. He takes the shell from Gon, pale and long fingers curling around the fragile ridges until he can feel every bump and curve. He recognizes it now as a sundial shell, small but beautiful and bold.

‘This shell is mine,’ Killua thinks, before looking up at Gon. ‘This human—Gon Freecss—is mine.’

The grin Gon gives him in turn is blinding. He quickly shuffles backwards to make room as Killua lets go of his hand and pulls himself out of the water. Rivers of the ocean drip off his scales as he plops down next to Gon in the shallows. He can feel Gon’s heavy gaze on him while he carefully works the shell into his silver hair, and it makes him feel hot and tingling all over. Gon is staring at him like he’s entranced, like Killua is all of his dreams come true.

“H-How’s this?” Killua asks Gon, trying not to feel self conscious at the way Gon’s golden brown eyes are raking over him. He turns his head to show off the new braid that encased the orange-scarlet shell Gon had given him.

“It’s beautiful,” Gon breathes, voice soft enough to be a prayer, and Killua turns redder than the setting sun behind them.

“I—I’m supposed to give you one, too. Like a trade. Here.” He digs into his pouch embedded in his scales and pulls out a blue-purple shell. He’d found it ages ago, only a week or two after he first met Gon, and had been carrying it around ever since. It’s a gorgeous triton shell shell, with a delicate curl as in curves into itself. Killua had gone so far as to string a thin strand of silvery thread through the shell’s small opening at one end and make it into a necklace for Gon to wear.

Killua runs his thumb over the smooth edge, heart hammering against his ribs. He doesn’t know what humans exchange when promising something as important and meaningful as this. But he hopes—prays—Gon will cherish it anyway.

‘Please let Gon like it,’ he says silently. ‘Please.’

“H-Here.” He quickly turns to face Gon and lifts the necklace over the human’s head. He’d made sure to make it a long necklace, and when Killua released the thread, the shell bounced against the center of Gon’s bare chest just like he’d hoped it would.

Gon looks down at the shell curiously, lightly touching it with the tips of his fingers. Killua watches with baited breath. There’s a sort of swelling feeling inside him at seeing Gon with his shell. This is it, for him. Gon is it, and the knowledge of what that means makes is face grow warmer than the brightest sun.

After a pause, Gon looks back up at him. There’s an elated smile growing across his cheeks, a redness in his skin that could only be a blush. “How does it look?” he asks Killua, sounding almost breathless.

Killua bites his lip. “It’s...beautiful.”

Gon is so much more than beautiful. But right now Killua is feeling so overwhelmed that ‘beautiful’ is the best adjective he can come up with.

Gon’s gaze softens. “You’re the beautiful one, Killua.”

Killua’s breath catches in his throat. He can feel his fins flapping in the air, trying to expel some of the nervous giddiness that always comes with Gon and his blunt compliments. “St-Stupid...”

Gon laughs lightly. He brings one warm and calloused hand to brush against Killua’s pale skin. The touch is so gentle Killua almost doesn’t feel it, but he leans in towards Gon all the same. Their foreheads meet, and the pair simply stare at each other for a long moment. Bright blue clashes with glowing golden-brown. Killua thinks he could drown in Gon’s eyes, if he really wanted to. He could fall right in and never come back.

“Hey...Killua?” Gon murmurs.

“Yeah?” Killua says, just as quiet.

“Can we try kissing again?”

Killua’s heart twists. Figures. Now Gon wants to return to the main beach. “You want to go back home?” he asks, unable to keep the trace of disappointment from lacing into his words.

Gon laughs again—a chuckle under his breath. “No,” he says, kindly, patiently. “I want to kiss you. For real, this time. Y’know, how couples do.”

“Oh.” Killua is so embarrassed he has to break Gon’s intense gaze. He feels incredibly stupid for mistaking something so obvious, but his mortification melts away when Gon’s hand moves from his cheek to grasp his chin.

He doesn’t breathe as Gon angles his head back towards him. Gon smiles and his eyes drift downward ever so slightly. He uses his thumb to graze Killua’s lower lip, and every nerve in Killua comes alive with metaphorical sparks.

He can feel everything. The setting sun’s rays warming his skin, water dripping off his hair and falling onto his tail, the subtle shading of his scales to match the blues and purples in the sky over their heads.

And Gon. His warm skin and warmer eyes. His breath as it brushes Killua’s lips, his calloused hands on Killua’s chin and neck. His freckled face as he grows closer and closer and closer—

Until finally, their lips meet. It’s gentle, soft. Tender enough to make Killua’s fins flap and his tail to twist against the rocky bottom of the tide pool. He sighs through his nose as Gon’s fingers dig into his skin and presses even further against the human. Gon’s lips are warm, a layer of salt coating everything Killua tastes. It sends a shiver down his spine and a strange twist in his gut.

He likes it, kissing Gon. It makes him want to be even closer to Gon than he is now because he can never, ever get close enough to Gon. He wants to make himself the center of Gon’s universe, just as Gon has become the center of his.

One of Gon’s hands slide upwards to twist into wet silvery-hair and Killua makes a quiet noise into Gon’s mouth. There’s a low responding rumble in Gon’s chest, deep enough to make Killua shudder. He wraps his arms around Gon’s tanned, fin-less torso as tight as he can without hurting him. Gon’s free hand is running down the scales on his neck and it feels so incredibly good, it makes Killua wonder how good they’d feel in other places—

And they break apart, Gon taking a huge gulp of air and Killua’s gills quivering. They stare at each other, both panting, both red-cheeked and eyes-glazed, and Killua’s heart swells like a wave at the look of lust and adoration in Gon’s gaze.

“Wow,” Gon says and Killua laughs quietly.

“Yeah,” he says and leans his forehead against Gon’s, a broad smile stretching across his face. “Wow.”

Because, really, what else was there to say?

Drabble Killukura (AU)

Kurapika filled with bites-marks and made some scratches to Killua. Killua filled Kurapika with licked. It was friday morning and Kurapika's alarm rang twice, Killua turned them off when he did not see the blond's response. Incredible as it seemed, they would not attend classes. Kurapika wouldn't attend school; the president of the student committee. Killua never imagined that they would come to anything more than those kissing sessions. Some time ago he was forced to have counseling for his bad grades in the exams and for that they assigned the Kuruta because of the friendly relationship they had with Gon and Leorio. As in Kurapika school used to be occupied in the student committee proposed to Killua to go to his apartment to study. In the first and only week in the studied, it was when it happened that their impulses took them to certain kisses in the living-room of Kurapika. As it was a responsibility to study they could not afford to avoid each other; the next day, finishing studying, they immediately sought the other's lips. After that week of intense study, which paid off, those kissing sessions were taken to the park that was just outside Kurapika's apartment. Killua was forced to use his bicycle to move more quickly and easily, as a condition of Kurapika for the hours he was going. That and finish the homework; on several occasions that condition prevented it. It was until the cold forced them to stay in the apartment of Kurapika, that Killua accepted that the bicycle was useful. Killua was lying on Kurapika's bed, and Kurapika himself was at his side quite scruffy, especially his hair was a mess. They wore nothing and their uniforms were watered by the room. Killua brought his lips to the blond's shoulder. He has marked a path of kisses on the clavicle, and from his collarbone has gone up his neck to reach the jaw of Kurapika. He kissed he continually, waiting for he to wake, and as soon as he opened his eyes, Killua continued his action on the other's lips. Kurapika responded by interlacing his fingers with Killua's silver hair. Neither of them could avoid smiling during the kiss. "Good morning" said Kurapika. Killua kissed him in answer. "What are you supposed to tell the teachers about your absence today?" "Killua bathed that question with some guilt. "We'll say we had a cold" he said. Killua bumped his nose against the blond's and returned to his lips asking to come in. "Sleep another time" he ordered. Kurapika smiled and followed the order without any problem. Killua got up and decided to go to the kitchen to prepare something for the blond. He would not let he get up; Would take care of him all weekend so that he would recover completely from the night before and on Monday the two would normally attend school. It would be a long weekend.
