#and of course I thought of leorio

I've seen the idea that Kurapika sews/makes his own Kurta clothing thrown around a lot, especially as a way to preserve his culture, but I had another idea today: imagine Leorio being great at sewing. Imagine he overhears Kurapika cursing at something one evening and finds him in his room trying to mend his blue and gold tunic, but he just can't seem to thread the needle, or he keeps pricking his finger, or he realizes he pinned the fabric in the wrong place. Leorio offers to help and kurapika is mesmerized by how easily he works the needle, how he hums to himself as the thread moves back and forth. "where did you learn to sew?" "Oh, we've been learning how to stitch up wounds in class, I'm not that good at it yet though." He's being humble but kurapika thinks he's a natural at it and is still shocked to see the lanky, goofy, large-handed Leorio do something so delicately, and with such care for his tunic, and he wonders how is this the same man I once fought with on a boat? How is this the same man who punched one of the most famous hunters on live television and almost got elected chairman? What is this side of Leorio - and how can he see it more? What did he do to deserve this earnest and caring man?
Needless to say Kurapika will be asking for Leorio's help on sewing projects in the future.
#i have so many more ideas it could be a fic perhaps#kept thinking about how doctors have to stitch wounds today while working on a quilt#and of course I thought of leorio#kurapika teaches him about kurta clothing styles and together they help repair some of the outfits kurapika saved from his clan#I like to think leorio gets really into it and studies up on kurta clothing on his own#And then surprises kurapika by making him a new Kurta outfit!#And perhaps a matching one for himself too#hunter x hunter#leopika#leorio#kurapika#hxh

honestly Hanzo is kind of the nicest with Killua outside of the main four.
He's the one who grabbed Killua to stop him from jumping overboard after Gon,
He's the one who volunteered to go out with (and physically support) Killlua when they followed Gon to rescue Battera (special shout out as well to Bodoro and Goz, who hopped into the boat without question to row)
He's the one who stopped Killua AGAIN from jumping recklessly after Gon (and nearly getting clawed for it, Killua looked ready to murder him)
He continuously interacts with him without being demeaning to his age or afraid of his experience, treating him the same as he does Gon or anyone else. It's a sort of casual, normal dynamic with another person that Killua is particularly starved of.
#not to mention the very sweet pokkle/ponzu scene right after all this#and of course gon rescuing leorio successfully...my sweet boy...#depths' watches#anyway im just. surprisingly pleased by the dynamic between hanzo and killua#this was totally absent in 2011 of course#and the manga#esp since this entire arc is individual ONLY to 1999#but i consider 1999 to be fairly canon. especially the way the characters act towards each other if not the physical events#its really nice#also AHHHHH leorio now having to rescue GON HELLO???#THESE TWO#THEYRE JUST GETTING FUCKED AROUND AND FOUND OUT EVERY EPISODE#when i first started hxh i thought gon was leorio nephew and onestly i still stand by it#thats his little brother man#hxh#hxh 1999#hunter x hunter#ALSO killua just told hanzo to fire into the waterspout#and while it sounds crazy as fuck hanzo listened and agreed with genuine consideration and agreement

Hey! I recently saw your work with hcs of the hxh boys and loved it! Wanted to ask if you could do a Hanahaki disease short story with Kurapika except it's the other way around where the reader has the disease. Reader tries to hide it from him but he eventually finds out because of how close they are as friends, if you're comfortable with this request >~<
hanahaki disease with the hxh boys (pt. 2) (kurapika, hisoka, illumi headcanons)
authors note: hi hi! i decided to do this request for all the hxh boys and not just kurapika! i hope that's ok anon!
warnings: mentions of death
this is part two of my hanahaki disease headcanons! you can read part one here where the boys have the disease!
requests are open! please read my rules!
wow
the poor boy gets very distressed when you just suddenly disappear
you don't answer his calls
you don't answer the door
he doesn't see you anywhere
it's like you just vanished into thin air
little did he know, you're dying
and it's because of him
when the first petal fell from your lips, you knew immediately what it was...and who it was for
you weren't sad that kurapika didn't love you back, you knew he didn't
he was much too focused on his goals, and you didn't want to distract him from his purpose
it was what had kept him going for the longest time after all
and you were honoured to have helped him
but now you were dying and you didn't want kurapika to know
knowing kurapika like the back of your hand, you knew how to hide from him
and so, you holed yourself away in a rundown apartment, letting the hanahaki disease slowly claim your body
kurapika is frantic at this point
he has searched high and low for you to no avail
he even enlisted the help of leorio, killua, and gon to find you
with the dream team assembled, it was only a matter of time until they tracked you down
the boys allowed kurapika to see you alone, not wanting to intrude where they were not welcome
although they were delighted to know that you were still alive
but only just
kurapika knows just by the petal soaked floor what is happening, and he rushes to your side
"who is it?" he asks, dumbfounded that you were dying of unrequited love
who wouldn't love you?
you had stood steadfast by his side time and time again, even when he thought you wouldn't
never once did you walk away
never once did you think of him as a burden
you stood by him, had helped him
he couldn't lose you
not you
"what can I do?" he pleaded, clasping your hand in his own
"there is nothing." you whispered, voice scratchy and hoarse from coughing
"tell me who it is, I'll find them."
"you already have."
"Leorio?"
"no, you idiot, it's you." you teased playfully, knowing that kurapika was anything but stupid
"you're dying because of me?"
"it's okay." you managed to smile at him, happy that he would be with you in your final moments
"I don't understand, why are you dying?"
"you know the myth, you know why."
"I do know the myth, which is why I don't know." kurapika too a break, smoothing back your hair from your forehead. "because I love you too."
it was almost miraculous how quickly the disease cleared from your lungs
you could suddenly breathe again
"really?" you almost didn't dare to believe it
"of course I do." he confirmed, before pulling you into a long awaited embrace
ok so hisoka is a tough one
he would know about the hanahaki disease
so he would know the signs
why you fell in love with hisoka was an utter mystery to you
you don't even know how it had happened
you had been friends and partners in crime with the man for as long as you could remember
but love? that seemed farfetched
until it wasn't
it began as a small cough, a light tickle in the back of your throat that acted as a warning that the worst was yet to come
you brushed it off, nothing thinking much of it until a petal fell into your hand
your eyes widened once you saw it, you had heard of the myth before during your travels
you knew what was coming
at first you didn't realise that it was hisoka you loved
who was the poor idiot who had won your heart? who were you about to die for?
you were sure to give them hell before you left this world, perhaps even bring them with you to the afterlife
how dare they end your life
only, your coughing grew worse once you saw hisoka again
with his catlike eyes and twisted grin
ah, that was the poor idiot
you knew the likelihood of hisoka every having feelings for you was slim to none, and the fact that you had developed the hanahaki disease was proof of that
unfortunately for you, hisoka was rather astute and noticed that you seemed sick
"don't tell me my favourite person has come down with the sniffles?"
"of course not."
you would avoid him after that, you didn't want him to see you weak
and you certainly didn't want him to find out that you loved him
so you hid, hoping that your death would be swift
hisoka noticed your absence, and he found himself not liking it one bit
you were the one who he enjoyed teasing, and who teased him in return
you were, as much as he was shocked to realise, rather close to him
remembering that you had seemed unwell the last time he had saw you, hisoka began to wonder whether your illness was serious
given the fact that you had disappeared unannounced, he began to think that there was something you were hiding
there is nothing hisoka loves more than a game
and you had unintentionally presented him with a great one
he tracked you down to a quiet forest of all places, surrounded by a field of red petals
hey, if you're hisoka's friend, you're going to be quite dramatic like he is
"my, my, this is quite the scene." he grinned as he approached, before seeing how pale you looked, the blood around your mouth, and the fact that you weren't moving
looking closer at the petals, he could see that they were red because of the dried blood that had stained them
oh, you had the hanahaki disease
considering the fact that you had left him without a word, he came to the correct conclusion
he wasn't an idiot, you clearly loved him
and you were dying
usually, hisoka enjoyed the idea of death but seeing you before him, basically in the afterlife, his perception of it drastically changed
he approached your body, narrowed eyes closely observing the stunted rise and fall of your chest, hearing the shallowness of your breaths
bringing his lips to your ear, hisoka whispered, "you really are quite dramatic, y/n, this is almost too much."
his fingers danced over your chapped lips
"what would you have me do, hm?"
his touch lightly trailed over your closed eyelids
"how unnecessary, considering the fact that I also love you."
it took a little while for you to regain consciousness
when you did, you found hisoka grinning at you
you also found him holding your hand
oh, you were both idiots
ok so lets just feed into the delusion for a sec that illumi would have the emotional capacity to love someone and actually admit it out loud
i refuse to write sad shit ok
so you love illumi
you had felt the emotion grow the more time you spent with the stoic assassin
it was no surprise when you realised you had developed the hanahaki disease
in fact, you had almost suspected it
once you realised you had loved illumi, it was only a matter of time before you died from it
there was no way someone as emotionally stunted as the eldest Zoldyck sibling would ever feel something remotely close to love, especially in the romantic department, especially for you
you knew him too well, you had been working with him for the longest time
ever since you first laid eyes on him, he was stuck with you
you followed him around, not bothering him enough for him to kill you, but just enough to get to know him
or, more accurately, for him to know you
illumi had grown used to you stubbornly following him around
he had grown to expect your endless chatter that often filled the void of silence
he had grown used to your constant presence
you knew he didn't mind, he had never sent you away
perhaps he was lonely and you fixed that
however, now that you were dying because of him, you had a choice to make
either, you could leave and die in peace, or you could tell him and see whether that would kill you faster
if you chose to hide, it would take him a matter of seconds to track you down - it was his job after all
if you chose the latter, you would mention it briefly, just to see how he would react
either way, the conversation would be the same
"by the way, I'm not going to be around for much longer, so you'll have to do that without me."
"where are you going?"
"to the most mysterious land of all." you smiled, wanting to make a joke out of your upcoming demise. "I have a date with the grim reaper."
illumi was perhaps the most confused you had ever seen him before
you had gone mad - what on earth were you talking about?
"what?"
"I'm dying, illumi." as if on cue, a coughing fit quickly swept through you, and a whole flower fell into your hand. you presented him with the bloodied bloom. "see?'
illumi has never heard of the hanahaki disease before
looking closer at you, he was ever so slightly perturbed to realise that you certainly looked unwell
"you just coughed up a flower."
"well spotted."
"how are you dying?"
you sighed, realising you would have to spell it out for him. "it's called the hanahaki disease, and it is a curse everyone suffering from unrequited love dreads."
"you love someone?"
you laughed darkly, here goes nothing
"you."
if you thought illumi looked confused before, that was nothing compared to now
"me?'
"is that so hard to believe?"
illumi couldn't fathom what he was hearing
someone loved him?
you loved him?
it sounded utterly ridiculous
but there you were, dying before his very eyes
"I don't understand."
"what don't you understand?"
"why are you dying?"
"I just told you why."
he stared at you blankly, black eyes boring into yours. "then the myth is wrong."
"what are you...?" you trailed off, not daring to hope what he might be implying. "do you love me?"
illumi didn't respond, and you didn't know whether he had the capability of admitting the words aloud
despite this, that was good enough for the disease to immediately clear from your lungs
and you took a deep breath to fill them again
gone was the pain, the heaviness, the urge to cough
"you love me." you looked at him again, filled with more hope than ever before
it wasn't a question this time
you knew illumi loved you, in his own special way
you dared to kiss him, and illumi allowed it despite his utter shock
that’s how you knew he meant it

Hi ! I saw that u already made hxh headcanons on a reader who's always cold, could you do then headcanons of the main 4 (hxh) with a reader who is actually always really nice and sweet, friendly and polite? But gets absolutely feral and relentless when someone is rude or hurts their loved ones??
Ty ahead and have great day 💗💗💗
main 4 with a reader who goes feral when someone hurts their loved one
gon
✰ he adores how kind and sweet you usually are
✰ while he can get along with virtually anyone, he prefers friendlier people like you
✰ and he’d probably also rely on you to keep him in check and be the calmer one
✰ so when someone makes a rude comment towards him, he definitely doesn’t expect you to jump to his defense
✰ and if you got physical with someone, he’s even more shocked
✰ his biggest concern is stopping the disagreement, he just doesn’t want to watch you get hurt over something trivial
✰ so as much as he loves you defending him, he’ll tell you it’s not worth the trouble and to let it go
✰ don’t get me wrong though, he’s quite happy that you’re willing to do that for him in the first place
“i’m so lucky to have you by my side… but seriously where did that come from!?”
killua
✰ he finds this pretty intriguing
✰ because under normal circumstances, you’d never result to aggression/violence
✰ and yet when he’s involved… you immediately drop those hesitations to stand up for him
✰ now at first, he might jump to the conclusion that you think of him as weak
✰ so while he bandages a cut you got in the fight, he’ll bring it up
“idiot… why’d you have to get hurt for me anyway? i could’ve dealt with it on my own.”
✰ but once you explain things, he realizes he was overthinking it
✰ and when he does, he becomes the biggest cheerleader
“yeah! beat his ass y/n!”
✰ to be honest, it reminds him a lot of gon
✰ which would make him love it even more
✰ however, if you go too feral, he’ll probably get you to stop
✰ because at the end of the day, whatever the person did didn’t even matter to him
kurapika
✰ he himself would be more protective over someone sweet and kind
✰ the world can be very harsh and someone who’s polite to everyone would come across as naive to him
✰ which is also why he’s the most surprised of all when you get defensive
✰ you going crazy on someone for insulting him is just completely out of character in his mind
✰ that being said, if you can handle it yourself, he won’t stop you
✰ after all he’s the exact same way
✰ not to mention he’s honored you’d do so much for his sake
✰ if it got out of hand, he’d just tell you to lay off
✰ and once the two of you were alone, he’d make it clear he thought your actions were justified
✰ although, if something similar happened in the future, he’d remind you not to engage and try to cool you down
✰ mainly because he’d prefer you don’t get into any fights at all
leorio
✰ you’re giving him whiplash
✰ like he can’t understand how someone as sweet as you could switch up so quickly
✰ we all know that he’s no stranger to getting into arguments
✰ so if you’re merely defending him with words, he’s got no problem
✰ if you started fighting the person, he’s conflicted
✰ cause part of him is like
“punch him harder!”
✰ but his rational side will probably break up the fight
✰ if you ended up getting injured for him, he’s really flattered
✰ and of course he takes care of every injury
✰ but also “don’t do that ever again”

Marriage || Killua/Reader
summary: killua and you are finally joined in holy communion, but he feels that it's not enough. he still has one last thing he has to do to make sure you don't run from him. (Killua is aged up here, he is an adult, 18+! This is part 2! For "Love?")
warning: yandere themes, forced relationship (?), gaslighting (from killua & towards yourself), forced marriage, toxic family (zoldycks are a warning), manipulation, forced/tricked pregnancy, toxic stuff everywhere.
The following day you had woken up as usual, but you were accompanied with a heavy weight on your shoulders. You softly jolted as you felt the bed dip beside you as Killua had arose in bed, softly wrapping his arms around your waist.
He gently leaned against you, his face squishing into yours as he snuggled with you. "Today's that day," he said, with a bright smile. Yeah, it is, you thought nervously, the previous nights event still vividly in your mind.
Killua didn't say much as he saw the smile painted on your face and got up, "we gotta get ready!" he said cheerily giving you a kiss on the cheek before getting up from bed. It was almost like old times you thought, almost like the Killua I knew.
The day went on normally, except there was clearly a more livelier feel to the halls of the Zoldyck mansion. Which although shouldn't be a big deal, was, because the Zoldyck's rarely had guests. Also, because they were a family of assassins meaning they had strict privacy standards.
Truthfully, the festive mood had begun yesterday, it was in full swing now. With guests already pouring in just before lunch time. Many of these guests were family members of Zoldyck servants, Killua's mothers family, his fathers family, and of course, Gon, Kurapika, Leorio, and, you couldn't believe it but Hisoka too?
Clearly they've been expecting a wedding for quite some time, you thought. Honestly it wasn't a surprise, after all Killua's father didn't care to hide his birthing agenda for you. It made you wonder whether anyone in this family actually saw you in a normal light.
Before you could even say a word to the guests though, you were ushered by maids into a room. A wedding dress and veil had been chosen by you a week ago, the one you were now currently dressed into. The wedding was to be quick, that much was obvious.
In around an hour you were ready to walk down the aisle, with none other than Killua's brother, Illumi. Illumi hadn't said anything, he just looked at you with an endearing smile and helped by brushing some of your hair behind your ear.
The large wooden doors were parted by servants to reveal a beautiful scenery outside. A beautiful floral stone decorated floor, filled with guests. There were many white clothed tables with food, gifts were already piled on one end of the area, and everything was all surrounded by the Zoldyck's lovely garden now decorated with ribbons, flowers, and stars.
You walked with Illumi down the soft creamy white carpet sprinkled with petals by Alluka, your chosen flower girl. You smiled as this was a celebratory occasion, albeit the pressure and the feeling of being trapped.
The wedding still turned out amazing. As when you had finally approached Killua he was already crying. It made your heart flutter, this was the man I love, you smiled at the thought, giggling slightly.
The hired priest went on and on for what felt like forever, while saying your vows your mind was in a haze. Killua could tell from your eyes how your mind had seemingly drifted off. Only to snap back into focus when Gon came holding the rings.
Killua trusted Gon with two roles that night, right hand man and ring bearer. He saw no other person quite as fit. Soon Killua grabbed your hand, softly slipping on the ring as you did the same.
The wedding was sealed with a kiss between you two, as you broke away and stared at Killua you couldn't help feeling joy. Maybe things were rushed but you genuinely loved him, you thought. You watched as Killua was hugged by Gon tightly, and as they both laughed.
The wedding went on fairly normal, music was played and a dance floor was set. Cake was served and champagne popped. You were introduced to many guests by Killuas father and you didn't fail to notice how he called you his daughter-in-law. It was quite heart warming seeing the whole Zoldyck family seem so ordinary.
Last on the agenda was a big feast, as you sat next to Killua with his family and later his friends. There was a lot on the menu with curry, to sushi, to baked goods, and drinks that were clearly all of high quality. It felt great to down one of your favorite drinks Killua passed to you, the Zoldyck's do consider my requests they're amazing, you thought in a frenzy to yourself.
As the wedding night came to a close guests were ushered off Zoldyck property. All the Zoldycks came to show them off. Killua had given Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio hugs as they smiled wishing him the best of luck. You thanked many of the guests who left through the large doors out front, taking care to show appreciation and waved Gon and the others away. The night had gone from festive to calm, which was a surprising mood for you as often the zoldyck family was quite serious. Especially when all in the same room, tension could be high and only small talk would be made. Today was clearly different as with a bright smile Silva Zoldyck had wished you both the most splendid tonight.
After taking his wife's hand as she giggled at his romantic gesture. Your in-laws left following soon, with Alluka giving you one last hug and Illumi giving Killua one small nod that you caught in the corner of your eye. Don't know what that's about, you thought.
You and Killua retired to your rooms soon after, changed and got comfortable. You just hopped onto your shared bed exhausted, stretching your arms out and yawning. "Great day yeah?" Killua asked, laying down beside you with a smile. You smiled back, nodding, "it was a wonderful day," you replied cupping his face with one hand, turning to fully face him. You took your time examining his face, those pretty white locks framed him so beautifully. The gentle shining in his sea blue eyes, and his little curve of a smile as your thumb brushed his bottom lip.
The night proceeded to be a blur, you remember initiating the kiss, your lips pressing against his as you both began to melt into one another. Then, you began to feel yourself grow semi-conscious. You felt yourself filled with pleasure, sounds falling from your lips as you chanted his name over and over. Your hands tightly wound the sheets beneath you but just as much let go to relax as your eye lids grew heavy for a moment before becoming aware again of the heat surrounding your body. Killua was above you, his hair now messy, kissing you and whispering how much he loved you, that this would be ideal for the future.
Then you found yourself wide awake the next day, you weren't alarmed no. It was a lovely night, it's a shame I can't remember well, you thought. As the soreness began to hit you and you noticed how you still had some bruises from your love making session.
You felt like you'd finally gained peace, that nothing could be better than this moment. It was just right, but you hadn't really thought it through fully. It was all very suspicious, you just let it all fly under your brain because the night was going so positively well.
What you hadn't realized was what Killua's words truly meant, that he had planned everything previously, and that all Zoldyck's knew about it. No, you didn't connect the dots, it didn't even cross your mind until a month later when your period was much later than usual. When you were standing in the bathroom, in a state of shock as everything crashed down on you. Realization hit you like a brick, you were pregnant, but how? You'd took every precaution so far, and-- oh, but did you during that night when you weren't fully aware of what it was you were doing?
There was only one explanation, your first night with him. Everything began to fall into place, and you felt a shiver run down your spine as Killua knocked on the bathroom door. "Hmm? Y/n is something wrong? Open up! Come on!!" The drink. The nod. The bed. Talking about your boundaries. Everything you'd planned out for that night you'd forgotten about. Shaken by the previous night to your wedding, and you being unable to execute your rights the night of your wedding. It couldn't just be purely coincidence. It all fell into place as when you turned the door knob and revealed the test to Killua. He did not looked shocked at all, rather happily relieved and slightly sinister as he gave you as kiss. "This is going to be awesome! Don't worry y/n, I'll take care of you forever!" Killua said, his eyes glimmering albeit holding your now shaking hands.
Forgive me for taking so long. :,)

Hi! Love you so much can you do killua x fem reader one shot where reader is wearing a fitted shirt and killuas lowkey distracted🙈 (bros like ��) LMAO TYSM
distracted─
: ➛ killua x reader older ver.
cw; boobs (drools)
note; giggles
in a frustrated panic, you search all over your room for a specific shirt, throwing shirts in the air, all onto your bed and all over the floor. You pull out your phone then set it back in your pocket, sighing with a hint of annoyance.
You had about half an hour, but if you didn't find this stupid shirt now you would be here all day. After awhile of endlessly looking you sulk in a corner, rubbing your face.
"oh my gosh where the hell is my shirt.." You whined, sitting up. It was at this time you heard a knock on your door and then a familiar face coming through it.
"y/n are you ready? I'm leaving in 10." Your ride, kurapika, spoke softly but as well coming off strictly as he was adamant about time. You made eye contact with the blonde, your pupils burning into his. You were very much not ready.
he looked away uncomfortably, clearing his throat with a chin scratch.
"right.. just tell me when you're ready." He closed your door shortly after. You heard the door click and you groan into your hands, shaking your head.
"I'm going to kill myself I swear." You set your hands down, to look once more amongst the piles of clothing. You scanned the pile slowly, eliminating the shirts one by one checking to make sure you didn't just accidentally miss the fabric.
And to your surprise you found it, barely missed it too. It was hidden away from a shirt that had a resemblance to the specific shirt except that shirt was a different color so of course you dismissed it. You never been so happy, lunging forward to retrieve the shirt with a squeal.
You spent no time stripping your current shirt to put on the destined clothing you picked out for the hangout.
"hey idiot kurapika said to hurry─"
"huh?" You turned to see a stunned killua at your doorway. The shirt you wore hugged your curves, outlining every inch of your torso, you could see his blue eyes largen at the sight of you. You turned back to your body mirror to fix your shirt, "oh its just you kil."
"who'd you expect?" he leaned against the frame with his arms crossed, watching you carefully. You smile with a scoff, "sassy much?" he didnt say anything but a blush found its way on his pale face, turning away. He rolls his eyes "whatever" he left your room shortly after, his face a mess.
You wondered for a second, but the thought left your mind, kurapika was waiting for you so you needed to hurry the hell up. You grabbed your bag of necessities, throwing it over your shoulder, showered yourself in your favorite perfume and finally ran out of your room. Gon waved to you as he saw you exit your room, he was eating a bowl of ramen and had noodles dangling from his mouth making you snicker.
kil on the other hand was still in a daze, distracted by you. He was so conflicted right now. He reached for an apple to bitterly bite into. You approached the albino after saying bye to his best friend "I'm leaving now'" you smile up at him. He gazed down at you from his height, wanting to come off as unphased as possible but he couldn't help but stare at your chest area, he chokes on his apple.
"oh shit, killua are you oka-"
"YES, I'm.. FINE" he shouts, his face fuming.
you tuck your arms beneath your breasts with a frown. "don't need to yell, asshole." The hunter was now a tomato, why would you do such a gesture, tucking your arms to make your.. mounds more visible to him?! He knew you didn't do it on purpose but.. fuck
they looked so soft, like marshmallows he wanted so badly to lay his head on them and just close his eyes as you held him near.
the thought of that made him feel like leorio, he mentally face palmed. god stop thinking such things, you creep.
"well bye!"
"wait huh─" you pecked his cheek before walking toward the front door, killua turned quickly and shouted in a rush.
"wait where are you even going??"
"to hang out with friends?"
"HUHH, IN THAT??"

Happy HxH BigBang 2024, everyone!
I had the absolute pleasure of creating these two art pieces for the wonderful @clood's Leopika fanfiction - "right number" !
Art media and tools used: For Leorio's piece: -> Alcohol markers (Ohuhu Honolulu) -> Black ink pen (Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pens) For Kurapika's piece: -> Watercolor paint (Royal Talens: Van Gogh - 24 half pans set) -> Watercolor paper (Van Beek - 300 g/m², 140 lb) -> Colored pencils, oil-based (Faber Castell Polychromos)
Keep reading if you're interested in detail photos and/ or if you're interested in me rambling about my thoughts and ideas while creating these pieces. :)
I may have gotten a little bit artsy with this project.
While thinking about what kind of general feeling I wanted to convey, I came up with this idea of making a sort of three-dimensional art piece, that you would look INTO.
I wanted the feeling to be like: 'These two people live in two different worlds - each in their own box'. As an outside viewer, you'd literally get a glimpse into their little worlds.
Going from that idea, I wanted to make them both contrast very strongly.
Leorio's piece, I wanted to make very moody: - dark, warm colors - strong shadows - pop-art style - alcohol markers as an art medium
Kurapika's piece, in contrast, I wanted to be very calm: - light, cool colors - soft art-style - translucent watercolor paints as a medium
The sweet @ayellowapple really encouraged me with my idea. Thank you so much, my friend! I appreciate it a lot ♥️
But also, I am SO relieved it all worked out.
A huge thank you to all participants for making this whole event so exciting and fun. As well as, of course, to the amazing mods @hxhbigbang24 who really keep putting their souls into the making of this!!
I am so happy I got to be part of everything! ♥️

Kurapika fluffy relationship headcanons :)
i felt like doing some for him so here i am
finding fluffy ones for him isn’t hard but i just wanted to add to the ratio
gn reader! :)
so before i start i want to say that i’m going to do this in a scenario where you met at the boat taking you to dolle harbor
(if you don’t remember it’s the island that leads the entrance exam—aka the island where the old woman asks the main four if you’d rather save your mother or you lover. look it up-)
anyway
you two met on that boat
he looked pretty friendly to you
so you struck a conversation
even if your not the most social- the other guys sure didn’t look friendly
plus you were interested in the book he was reading
which is what you talked about
eventually you got each other’s names and some small introductory facts about each other
so you guys became friends :)
he saw how strong you were during the yellow wolf thing’s test (forgot they name- not gonna look it up)
or if your not strong you were smart enough to figure out that this was a test
or not- again. then maybe he helped you out/protected you
”hey thanks!”
”it’s nothing, just watch your back next time :)”
you travel with kurapika, leorio and gon for some time and get to know the 4 of them decently by the time you make it to the actual exam
fast forward to around the time your getting closer to finishing the exam
leorio has picked up on the fact that kurapika has a crush on you by now
he offers him advice but kurapika decides to do things on his own
fast forward again to after he courts you
(if you want hcs that go more in depth on him crushing or trying to court you just ask)
relationship time!!
i’ll clear this up right here and now-
no he wouldn’t involve you in his spider killing business
ik everyone says that 😭
but it’s true we all just kinda collectively agree he wouldn’t for your safety
especially since your his s/o
now your the closest person he has to family besides friends
and he definitely wouldn’t want to risk that
so no, he wouldn’t involve you the same way he wouldn’t involve killua, gon and leorio
if you get held hostage along with gon and killua he would internally panic
this is kurtapika tho so of course he still stays calm and rational
they’d better not hurt you
but just like gon and killua they left you go :)
he gives you a very very tight hug after that.
he loves reading and would love to bond with you over books if you do too
recommending authors to each other
reading in silence next to each other
sharing your thoughts after finishing the same book
its comforting
kurapika is a pretty good cook
even though he doesn’t do it often he was taught from a young age by his mom
so he’s real good with seasoning
kurapika likes savory foods, a little bit of sweet too
occasionally salty
but he won’t mess with spicer ones
if he does the shopping he won’t come home with spices
you’ll have to buy that
his first instinct wouldn’t be to give massages
but if you ever asked for one he’d realize loves to give and receive them
if your not strong he’d teach you how to defend yourself
probably some basic nen too
he likes cuddles more than he’d like to admit
if you ask he’d blush a little then lay down and wait for you to snuggle up next to him
hes also real good at keep the place clean
he wouldn’t bring up dates since he’s busy a lot but if you suggest one when he has some time he’d be more than happy to go on one with you
he’s a very loyal, honest and communicative lover
on the last one though he’ll shut down and walk away before coming to talk it out later
it kinda sucks but it’s a habit of his so you’ll have to talk to him about it if you want him to put forth effort to stop
he respects and supports most decisions you make as long as they’re safe
he probably told you about his family back when you were friends
like how he did with gon killua and leorio
you can try to comfort him about it but he kinda reacts how he did when he told gon and the others
”only killing all the spiders would be able to put me at ease”
even then as we saw when he heard they “died” he’d still be drowning in a indespicable emptiness 🤓
on a brighter note
if you compliment him his reaction is kinda cute
”oh..! thanks y/n :)”
continue to do it frequently and he’ll do it back to you
it becomes you guys’ thing.
his love languages are quality time (as much as he can) and acts of service
overall he’s a 9/10 lover <3

Maybe Kurapika goes out drinking at one point alone after a failed mission, his thoughts wander to you as he’s beating himself up. At like 1am you get a phone call from him, slurring his words and asking you to pick him up because the bartender just cut him off.
He’s apologetic, and stumbling, but instead of scolding him you’re worriedly trying to help him into your car so he can sleep on your couch. He’s rambling about all kinds of shit but mostly how much he likes you, how he wants to live long enough to have a normal life by your side, etc.
You set him on your bed instead so he can be comfier while you take the couch, but when you go to leave he’s clinging onto you and begging you to stay so you do. And oh boy is he a clingy cuddler when he’s drunk. He’s got his arms wrapped around your waist, face buried in your chest (he’s pleasantly surprised to find you went braless- but in reality you rushed out in your pjs because your first priority was his safety.)
He’s passed out on you, snoring softly as you run your hands through his hair and kiss him on the forehead. He knows he’ll have a lot of explaining to do tomorrow, but for now, he just wants to feel you close.
(I want to add more but i have to go)
warning: gets a little spicy near the end, Kurapika makes you feel good after you take care of him, also mentions of vomit because of his hangover
Kurapika sighed into his third shot of the night, leaning against the bar.
This was his third failed mission that month, and he was beginning to lose hope of ever finding of his clan’s eyes. If he hadn’t been so stupid, the bastard wouldn’t have been able to escape. Now it would be even harder to catch the man off guard to steal back the eyes.
Kurapika downed the shot and ordered the next, already feeling a familiar warmth in his belly. He didn’t usually use alcohol to numb his sorrows, but today had been difficult.
‘Fucking idiot. Can’t even do one thing right. If you can’t even avenge your clan, how will you ever be able to tell her you love her?’
He bit his lip so hard it bled. Kurapika swiped the blood away, sneering at his own weakness.
It was only after his sixth shot that he was told he’d been cut off.
“Hey man, you’re barely able to hold yourself up, you’ve had enough for the night.”
The barkeeper was kind enough to escort him outside, giving him a cup of water to sip on. “You should call someone to pick you up.”
Kurapika huffed and set his water to the side, pulling out his phone.
He didn’t have many contacts, mostly because he didn’t have many friends to call. He could text Leorio, but he knew he was taking a test tomorrow and would need his sleep. Melody wasn’t in town, and the only contact left in his list was…
You.
He blinked, pressing a clumsy finger to your contact and looking at your smiling face for a second before he pressed call.
You were sound asleep, cuddled up under your blankets when you heard the sound of Kurapika’s ringtone from your nightstand.
It was strange, he never called you so late at night, so you knew it had to be serious. You sit up and bed and answer his call, already worried.
“Kurapika? What’s up?” He can hear the worry in your voice, wincing slightly.
The line is silent for a moment, only hearing the sound of him breathing softly.
“Did I wake you up?”
His speech is slurred, you notice. “I was only dozing. Are you okay?”
“I… can… can you come pick me up?”
You push yourself out of your bed, already slipping on a pair of pajama pants and jacket. “Yes, of course. Did something happen?”
He’s a bit too embarrassed to admit that he’s so drunk that it’s hard to concentrate on talking, but he knows it’s probably obvious.
“Drank too much, they just cut me off.”
You frown, already out the door and unlocking your car. “Okay, I’ll be right there. Don’t move, okay?”
He couldn’t even if he tried.
—————
You pull up to the bar Kurapika frequented, parking before sprinting over the hunched over form of your friend. When you reach his side, he looks up with pink cheeks and half lidded eyes.
“Sorry to bother you so late…”
You push back his hair, cupping his cheek to get a good look at him. There’s bags under his eyes, and as he leans against you, you can smell booze on his breath.
“Shh, it’s alright. Let’s get you home, okay?”
Getting him to the car would be a challenge, but nothing you couldn’t do. He clung to you the entire way, his hands holding onto you like you were a lifeline. Through his stumbling and tripping, you hold him tight, never once complaining when he steps on your feet or leans all of his weight against you.
“Sorry… I…”
His hands grip the fabric of your shirt. “The mission… went bad. I’m just so fucking mad… I want to be done with all of it. All of it.”
He leans into your touch, signing against your neck. “You’re so sweet. So sweet to someone so selfish like me. I’m so sorry. Sorry I’m never here, you’re always there when I need you.”
You help him into your car, buckling him in. As you reach over to click the buckle into place, he pulls you closer, holding you against his chest.
“I’m so sorry. I just… I just need you so much. When you’re not with me it hurts so much. When I’m gone it’s hard to focus… without thinking about you.”
You feel your cheeks heat up at his words, looking up to see him staring down at you with those intense red eyes. He cups your cheek, the gesture filled with love and longing.
“I just… just love you so much. So much. I… I wanna be with you forever. Live together. I wanna live long enough that… that…”
His eyes start to fill with tears, the feeling of them dropping onto your cheeks making you instinctually reach up and wipe them away.
“Shh, shh. It’s alright. We’ve gotta get home, sweetheart.”
He lets you go, watching as you climb into the drivers seat. His hand immediately drifts to your thigh, holding onto it as you drive home like if he didn’t, you’d disappear.
You had planned on just putting him on the couch, but your bed would be much more comfortable and closer to the bathroom in case he needed to throw up.
As you once again looped your arm with his, he leaned against you again, this time sighing in contentment as he sniffed your hair. You tried not to laugh, the sniff was so loud.
“Smell so good… like home.”
That made you blush. “Come on, let’s get you into bed.”
You unlock the door to your home, helping the stumbling man to you room and laying him down. He mumbles something about you looking cute as you grab a pillow and throw blanket and start to leave.
“No!”
You stop when you feel him pull you back by your waist. You can feel his tears soaking the back of your shirt as he blubbers and cries.
“P… please. Stay with me, I can’t be alone. Not right now.”
This is the most vulnerable you’ve ever seen Kurapika. He usually preferred to be alone. After all, it was easier to keep people at a distance if you yourself were distant, but that didn’t apply to you. Especially right now.
You relent, turning around so you were facing him. “Okay, shh. It’s alright, I’m right here.”
You climb into bed, his hands never leaving you. Once you’re finally next to him, he pulls you close and cuddles into your chest with his arms wrapped firmly around your waist. Even when he’s drunk, his grip is strong. You wouldn’t be leaving the bed tonight, even if you wanted to.
As he buries his face into your boobs, he lets out a hum. You’re not wearing a bra, and god you’re so soft.
“So soft… wanna stay like this forever…”
You had rushed out the door so quickly you hadn’t bothered on throwing on a bra, now embarrassed at how content he looked between your boobs. His hands were all over you, cupping your boobs before drifting to your butt, squeezing it.
After he finished copping a feel, YOU could feel him harden against you, the man whining out. “Wanna… wanna feel you. Can…”
You interrupt him by placing his hands back on your waist, gentle but firm.
“No, you’re drunk. Not now.”
He looked up at you sleepily, his face too cute. “Does that mean… we can later?”
You blush but nod, brushing his hair out of his face and planting a kiss on his forehead. “Yes.”
“Promise?”
His lips brush against your shoulder before he rests against your boobs again.
“Promise.”
It doesn’t take long for him to fall asleep, his tears drying up replaced with a wistful smile. It’s the first time in years he’s been able to sleep so soundly.
You sigh, running a finger through his hair. It’s stringy, with dead ends. He hadn’t been taking care of himself again. You knew you’d have to talk about that in the morning, along with…
Your heart races as you think about his words. He loves you? You of all people? There truly wasn’t anything special about you. You were a plain girl that had just been lucky enough to meet him and the others during the Hunter exam.
As you look at the alarm clock, you realize you’ll have to cancel the plans you made with Gon and Killua tomorrow to take care of Kurapika in the morning. He didn’t drink often, but when he did he’d be sick for at least a day. He didn’t tolerate alcohol well, at least according to Leorio.
You find sleep soon after you text Killua that you don’t be able to make it tomorrow.
—————
You wake up to the sound of someone emptying their guts in your bathroom. Although sleepy, you jump up and rush in, quickly pulling back Kurapika’s hair as he vomited up all of his stomach contents.
“Sorry… sorry you have to see me like-“
He was interrupted by another round of vomiting, coughing into the toilet.
“Like this…”
When he could only dry heave, you pulled his hair into a ponytail and flushed the toilet, sitting him down on the toilet lid. “Stay here, I’ll be right back.”
You leave and grab a bottle of water, some Pepto-Bismol, and a wet rag.
After giving him his medicine and wiping the remaining throw up from his mouth, you let him take a few sips of water, scolding him when he gulped it down too fast.
“Slow down, you’re gonna throw up again.”
“… sorry…”
You frown. He was apologizing a lot and refusing to make eye contact. “Don’t apologize, you haven’t done anything wrong.”
He finally met your eye, his face flushed. From a fever, or embarrassment, you couldn’t tell.
“But… I made you come get me in the middle of the night, and… and said a lot of stuff… and now you have to take c-“
You shush him by pulling his face into your chest, patting his pack soothingly.
“You aren’t and will never be a bother to me. I don’t care if you’re just lonely, I will ALWAYS come to get you. You’re important to me I…”
She pulled away, cupping his cheek.
“I love you too.”
He barely held himself back from kissing you, knowing he probably tasted like vomit, but held you close to him. “I love you so much. So so much. I’ll do better, be so much better. All for you.”
“I know, I know. Shh, let’s get you back in bed. I’ll make some soup, okay?”
You kiss his forehead and lay him back in bed to rest. Even though he was nauseous, Kurapika had never felt happier. His heart was soaring, beating against his chest so hard he thought it would break through his ribs.
Your kindness knew no bounds. As you spoon fed him soup, he couldn’t help but pull you into his lap. All he wanted was to hold you. You were his now, after all. Can’t he hold you all he wants?
“Kurapika!” you giggle out, slipping from his arms to set down his soup.
“Mmm… still no bra, huh?”
This causes you to pause. You can feel his hands slipping under your shirt to cup your boobs, looking up at you with lust filled eyes.
“H-hey!”
He tilts his head. “I’m not drunk anymore, you know. Promised I could touch you later…”
He pulls up your shirt, your nipples instantly hardening under the cool air. “Sweetheart, I have to-“
He silences you by taking one of your nipples into his mouth, making you gasp out. His other hand slips into your panties, instantly rubbing circles into your clit.
“Always taking care of me. Why don’t you let me make you feel good, hmm?”
His touch is like magic, making you come undone on his fingers much quicker than you could ever do for yourself. It’s a bit embarrassing how fast you cum, but he doesn’t mind.
Kurapika licks up your juices and pulls you in for a kiss.
“My sweet girl. I promise I will never stop loving you. I’m yours, forever and ever.”
And you know he’s not lying, when he looks at you with those pretty red eyes. You know he loves you, more than anything.
And you love him too.

Killua Zoldyck with S/O that’s shy at first yet when they open up she’s very strong!
Okay so I would say killua in the beginning wouldn’t pay that much attention to you. He still have his moment with Gon when they become friends and well you were just kinda there
Now killua thought you would be out in the first part but when you managed to keep up with him and Gon you start to get his attention and maybe also because Gon could not shut up about you!
Now killua as we saw in the show was quite awkward with Gon after they became friends it’s the same with you, you could say just about anything to him and his first instinct is to look away! There was just something about your shyness that caught his attention!
Now killua being killua would pull LOTS of pranks on you but one day you pulled one back on him? Now he’s shocked he thought he knew you well? But now your pulling pranks and with the way the prank was done you weren’t a beginner prankster?
Boy and just when killua thought that was it! In the final trial of the Hunter exam you and killua were going against each other. Killua was going to forfeit because he didn’t want to hurt you, you just looked so fragile so weak.
But you didn’t hesitate and went to a hit he just barely dodged your attack. You than went in with another hit and managed to get him? And boy it hurt! Killua quickly forfeited the match not wanting this battle to go on any longer
Of course when you find killua after the match you instantly apologize for hitting him. And to make him feel better you just kept making joke after joke by the end of it you and killua were two laughing messes!
In other words killua would just be really shocked that your stronger than him
Now when you and killua start dating killua would just be very blushy blushy! And you always cling and snuggle up to him. He loves it’s but it just embarrasses him so much to the point where he sometimes pushes you away
He doesn’t mean anything by it! He really doesn’t! It just that sometimes it overwhelms him with embarrassment
Now after killua gets used to your affection he would still not let you be too touchy not wanting his family to find out that he has someone close to him(though his parents might just love you because of your strength)
Overall killua would be a lot like a teenager with his first girlfriend very embarrassed and easily flustered!
-little story-
Killua Zoldyck was used to being the strongest and most skilled fighter among his peers. As a member of the infamous Zoldyck family, he was trained from a young age to be a formidable assassin. So when he decided to take the Hunter Exam, he had no doubt that he would easily pass and become a licensed Hunter. However, during the exam, Killua noticed a timid girl who seemed lost and out of place in the midst of all the ambitious and competitive candidates. She kept to herself, barely speaking to anyone and always looking down at the ground. Her name was [Y/N], and she caught Killua's attention. At first, Killua didn't pay much attention to [Y/N], thinking she would be eliminated early on. But as the exam went on, he couldn't help but notice her determination and resilience. Despite her quiet nature, [Y/N] pushed through the challenges, surprising even Killua with her abilities. He couldn't help but feel drawn to her, wanting to know more about the mysterious girl. As they progressed through the exam, Killua and [Y/N] found themselves often working together, and slowly, she started opening up to him. He discovered that she was actually a very outgoing and silly person, but her shyness and introversion masked it. As they grew closer, [Y/N] would often joke and play pranks on Killua, something he never expected from her. He found himself enjoying her company more and more, and soon, they became inseparable. When they both passed the Hunter Exam, Killua and [Y/N] decided to travel together, along with Gon and their other friends, Leorio and Kurapika. [Y/N] brought a new energy to their group, her bubbly and carefree personality balancing out Killua's cool and serious demeanor. They would often tease and playfully argue with each other, much to the amusement of their friends. As their journey went on, Killua and [Y/N]'s relationship grew stronger, and they eventually became an official couple. [Y/N] was never afraid to show her love and affection for Killua, often showering him with hugs and kisses, something that he was not used to. But deep down, he loved it, feeling loved and cared for in a way he never experienced before. As time passed, Killua realized that [Y/N] wasn't just a silly and affectionate troublemaker, but also a strong and determined Hunter. Her powers and skills surpassed even his own, and he couldn't be prouder of her. [Y/N] had come a long way from the shy and introverted girl he first met during the Hunter Exam. Together, Killua and [Y/N] faced numerous challenges and battles, but they always had each other's backs. They were a perfect team, and their love for each other only grew with each passing day. In the end, they both became licensed Hunters, and [Y/N] proved to be the strongest of them all, surpassing even Killua. As they stood atop a tall mountain, overlooking the beautiful landscape, Killua wrapped his arms around [Y/N] and whispered, 'You have become the strongest person I know, both in strength and in love.' [Y/N] smiled up at him, knowing that she couldn't have done it without him by her side. Their journey together may have started with a shy and introverted girl and a skilled and arrogant assassin, but it was their love for each other that brought out the best in both of them. They were the perfect match, and their love only grew stronger with each passing day.

ew wtf i saw the mf who requested nsfw for gon💀💀
that’s either some horny ass 9 year old or a grown ass man
aaaanyway
can i request leorio cuddling headcanons?? how he initiates cuddling, etc, etc
i ong have no idea if you do this either, but since you do nsfw, i assume that you do??? how would leorio respond to his s/o having a panic attack
💚~ HORNY ASS NINE YEAR OLD LMFAOOOO????? also i did the cuddling hcs part of this req!!
g/n!reader
leorio paladiknight cuddling headcanons!
~ cuddling is honestly one of leorio's favorite things to do. he just adores your body, in more ways than one, but he won't ever get tired of wrapping his arms around you, resting his head on your chest or stomach, the warmth of your skin on his own. he always sort of thought he was a more sexual guy, but cuddling is intimacy like no other. also, after intimacy, he'll want to hug you a lot.
~ leorio probably won't be really sappy and affectionate in public with you like he is behind closed doors because he feels he has an image to maintain or something. it isn't like he'll be completely detached in public, of course, but cuddling is something he prefers to do with just you.
~ he'll want to cuddle mostly after a long day for him or you. honestly, he's a little bit of a baby when he's tired after work and just wants to lay on top of you no matter what you're doing. if you're standing doing something, he's coming up behind you and wrapping his arms around your waist and burying his head in your neck, begging you in this amusingly petulant tone to come cuddle with him, sort of rocking you back and forth. if you're sitting down and busy with something, he'll just walk right up and flop over with his head in your lap, again pleading with you to drop what you're doing and spend some time with him: "aw, come on, babe, you know you'd rather be snuggling with me than doing this boring work shit! you probably need to relax, anyway! come on, please? it'll only be a minute."
~ if you don't say yes right away, leorio will smother you in kisses, mostly your cheeks, until you finally relent.
~ spoiler alert, it was not a minute. before you know it it's morning and you're both late for work.

Them Bones
Pairing: Leopika
(3/7)
3. The boy, the beating
Seeing the boy made his heart skip a beat.
His friends, who were running next to him, drowned out his cries and exclamations. Kurapika was only twelve years old, but he knew that the exaltation he had felt when he found in the middle of the forest the same boy who, a year ago, had cured his best friend Pairo, was not the same exaltation that the rest of his friends had felt.
His heart had given him a curious tug, his belly had tingled, and he had felt something that seemed like an odd fusion of joy and relief. That was something he had never felt before.
The same seemed to have happened with Leorio, who had frozen in the middle of ripping off a tree branch, only looking at Kurapika as if the rest of the children were nothing more than scribbles on a cave painting.The cold hadn't become a big problem yet and it wouldn't for at least another week, so Kurapika had taken the opportunity to go out with his friends to explore a bit.
He would never have believed that he would find Leorio there, in the middle of the forest. It wasn't unusual for someone to be there, of course, it was normal for people to look for firewood and branches for the bonfires in the winter, the funny thing about that was to coincide. Being in the same place at the same time, in such a large and desolate area.
Being there at the same time as him.
"Hello," he whispered suddenly as his friends began to leave as quietly as they had arrived.
"Hello," Leorio seemed to react, breaking the branch he was holding in his hand. The old apothecary appeared from among the trees, walking slowly and shaking a lot, but the perpetual smile on his lips was never erased.
"Kurapika?" he questioned happily, his sightless eyes fixed somewhere in the forest.
"Yes, sir."
"I thought I recognized your voice," he laughed. "What a coincidence to meet here. Together with Leorio we were looking for branches for our fireplace.
"How is Pairo?" Leorio interrupted, probably realizing that the aforementioned was not in the group of children Kurapika had appeared with.
"He's fine, he's celebrating his grandmother's birthday," Kurapika commented.
"That's good," he smiled and the Kurta kid couldn't do more than respond to his smile with some shyness.
The bushes behind him stirred and Kaparo stepped out of them to call out to him with some fear and anxiety.
"Come on Kurapika!" he demanded through his teeth, looking at Leorio out of the corner of his eye, as if he were a wild cat that would jump on their necks at any moment. Kurapika felt a little embarrassed at such a basic reaction and shook his head, gesturing for Kaparo to go with the others, then turned to the other two people.
"You need help?" he questioned, moving closer to the old man and Leorio.The apothecary grinned and with a playful gesture hit Leorio's leg, destabilizing him and making him drop the branches he was carrying in his arms.
"Hey!" he grumbled, bending down to gather it all up.
"Oh yes please," the apothecary replied "You see, my friend here is not very good at interacting with nature, he is a city boy, maybe you can teach him a thing or two about the forest. In the meantime I will return to the house to drink tea..."
"It's not necessary," Leorio intervened, finishing gathering all the branches."You should go play with your friends."
"We weren't playing," Kurapika interrupted through clenched teeth, his cheeks pink. "We are twelve years old, we don't play anymore."
"You should go back to 'not playing' with your friends, then," he assured, turning away. "I can do it alone."
Kurapika, who had reached a very high level of offense by being treated like a child by another child, stuck out his tongue at Leorio and turned on his own axis to be able to retreat as quickly as possible from there. As far away as he could from the small, inexplicable pain that he had been brought on by Leorio refusing his help like that.
And although after that meeting eight years went by without another word, Kurapika could never forget three very particular things from that day; the improvement in the pronunciation of Leorio's Kurta language, the frantic beating of his own heart when he saw him and the blush on that boy's cheeks before he turned his back on him for the last time.

This took long than I wanted, but I'm getting to my requests!
Gon Freeces
-He trusts your able to defend yourself, or if you are not physically capable of defending yourself, he'll fight for you.
-He's usually with you so much to the point it's unusual to see you both separated.
-But that's exactly what his enemies are looking for. That small little opening to attack.
-He tries asking you a question, but you remain silent. He turns to ask you again, but you're not there.
-"Y/N? Y/N!? Where are you right now?"
-You would tell him if you're leaving, but not a word was spoken to him.
-"Y/N, you can come out now!" There was a slight tremble in his voice that would have made you feel guilty for hiding and making him upset.
-Once you didn't respond he started looking for you, in which he found a note.
-The note said, "If you're looking for Y/N, she's been taken. We ask for a ransom of 3 billion Jenny. Once this is payed, you can find her at ____________"
-Not really a smart idea to put the address down.
-He immediately started to look for you.
-He found tou in that location, by yourself, tied up in a chair with a gag in your mouth and a blindfold.
-He took of your bindings and started hugging you as soon as you realized he saved you.
-"I promise I'll never let this happen again, ok?"
Killua Zoldyck
-He's... Even more protective of you than Gon is.
-You and Alluka are his main concerns and will do anything to defend you two.
-You all were out shopping, Alluka insisted to see something inside a shop. Killua told you to wait outside and that they'll be back in minute.
-However, when they let you were nowhere to be found.
-He tried calling you on your phone, but it just went to voice mail.
-He and Alluka tried searching around the area but you seemed to just disappear.
-He thought you might have been trying to ditch him. Did you just want to break up without confrontation?
-He goes home with Alluka either sad or mad, maybe a bit in between.
-He finds a note...from his brother?
-The letter tells Killua to either return home or he'll never see his girlfriend again.
-He's now furious, it was his brother this whole time? Why hadn't he thought of that sooner? It really didn't matter now, all he had to do was track his brother down and find you.
-It was surprisingly easy to find you, he just followed Illumi's pins and Nen.
-The second he freed you, he had his arms wrapped around your body, pecking on a few kisses her and there.
-"I missed you, I missed you... So, so much. Now, let's go home to Alluka OK? I want to see if your hurt or not."
Kurapika
-He is most definitely the most distant to you compared to the others.
-He disappears with no signs of where he went. Or he might leave a note or tell you he's leaving, promising to come back at a certain time, than ends up coming home 3 days past when he was supposed to.
-Honestly the only way you can tell he's still alive is Melody saying they're both ok and wish you well.
-So, it's not really a shock to come home and you're not there. Maybe you're out shopping, but it is really late. Perhaps you went out with your friends or staying at their house?
-He tries calling you just to check up on your well being. But... The call gets ignored and unanswered. That's odd, you's usually pick up. Were you trying to make him have a taste of his own medicine for ignoring most of your calls?
-He calls again, nothing. Now he starts to get worried. You might have lost your phone and that's why you weren't answering. Was your phone on silent?
-He decides he's just over thinking things and shouldn't loose sleep over it, that's what you would say, right? You'll show up when he's awake.
-However, he had difficulties going to sleep, and kept feeling as if something was wrong.
-When he finds you're still not there, he's now panicking. He starts asking neighbors if they had seen you. Almost all of them said they didn't, a few did mention a few people walking with you outside.
-He follows the direction where they said the group went. He started to feel more uneasy about the situation once he starts realizing this is leading more and more to where he thought the troupe currently was.
-He luckily found you unharmed and away from any of the spiders.
-"I'm so gald I found you before anything happened to you." He tells you as he squeezes you in a loving embrace. "I'm so, so sorry I wasn't there to protect you, but lets get out of here before the kidnappers come back, ok?"
-His thoughts of the troupe being the ones to take you were confirmed once you explain to him that's exactly what happened.
-He apologized again since he still feels guilty, but sadly does nothing about his random disapperences.
Leorio Paladiknight
-He's usually at school for docter work, at home studying, or sleeping. So spending time with him is rare, but you at least get to see him.
-He usually passes out at his desk, and if you're able to, you pick him up and drag him to bed.
-Even if you can't pick him up, you can just wake him up and tell him to get in bed with you. He often just says he's going to stay at his desk, and occasionally will follow you.
-So he found it odd how the next morning he woke up and he wasn't in bed. And even if he wasn't he would have remembered you waking him up to ask him to.
-He calls for you and gets no response. He then starts looking around the house for you, only to find a hastily scribbled note which reads the similar lines of a ransom note.
-His first thought is, "These people have a lot of nerve asking ME for money."
-Of course you're concern, it's just the audacity of these people.
-Anyways, he starts searching for you even texting his friends to be on the lookout for you or anything that could be hinting to your capture.
-The search only lasted a few days before he got a call from the police saying they caught the kiddnappers and you, along with a few other people were found.
-The criminals were apparently taking people who were related to Hunters to try and get paid in good money.
-He runs up to you crying and hugging you like he never has before. He's Also glad your unharmed and not on the verge of death from dehydration and starvation.
-He promises to take a few days off of school to spend with you.

I was cooking up a miraculous au for LCF/TCF
Then I thought, why not make an og Cale x Alberu one?
So, here you go:
(this isn't set in that au but a separate miraculous one)
Alberu Crossman as Adrien
Bob as Cat noir
og Cale Henituse as Marinette
Regressor (might come up with something else later idk) as Ladybug
White Star as Hawkmoth
I'd like to say they're not highschoolers or whatever they are in miraculous ladybug, they go to college or something
The miraculouses would also be bit different:
Og Cale: lady bug
Alberu: fox
Choi han: cat (haha)
White Star: butterfly
KRS is og Cale's cousin, in spirit, like they're not related but he was declared so
KRS's of course besties with the Soos and mostly hangs out with them. He wouldn't really make much appearances but does have some important scenes that I'll get to later on
The ws is not related to Alberu btw but his father is giving Gabriel so of course he's put in some sort of Adrien role
WS would call the hero version of og Cale 'a bug under his shoes' btw xdd
Alberu and og Cale go to the same college or something, not the same year probably
Their families are rich and they often need to attend a banquet or two here and there, even hold some
og Cale usually refuses to go, he makes up excuses, spills a drink here and there, brings up his actually pretty real injuries he got some places to get out of attending these events
Because of that it's mostly Basen who attends them but there are times Cale can't get out of going. Ron picks his outfits for that btw
Cale doesn't hang out with people much because he's trying to distance himself, despite his best efforts the eastern nobles still stick to him
He appreciates it really, but feels guilty possibly ruining their reputation. Eric Wheelsman does not care and drags him to places even outside of these events in an attempt to 'teach him better manners' but actually just to hang out
***
About Alberu's hero name- he was asked by a reporter but he internally panicked a little about will they won't they recognize him so Regressor who was next to him just told them he's Bob
Alberu's expression turned to a mix of offended disbelief and resigned acceptance at that. This is the last name anyone would associate with 'Alberu Crossman' though so he might as well use it... temporarily, then he'd come up with a better name later and correct it
Needless to say, later never came and he got stuck with it. No matter what he tells reporters it's a lost cause now. :(
***
The first akuma they take care of would be Toonka's. He gets very offending at some people looking down on him for not excelling in academics and overwhelmed by emotions gets himself akumatized
His akumatized version's name is 'The Tyrant' and makes him have enhanced strength as well as making him have stone skin, anyone he touches turns to that
Cale, Alberu make their debut subduing The Tyrant as Regressor and Bob. This is the first time they meet as their hero versions and despite some hiccups they manage to work together pretty efficiently
They get help from the Black Yong (Choi han hero name) who usually works together with Flame Mage (Rosalyn hero name) and Blue Wolf (Lock hero name)
They go on working together often because of the ladybug and cat miraculouses but usually Black Yong works with his own group
As time passes the Regressor and Bob duo work together with Black Yong and the others often enough to be counted as honorary members tho they still have their little own group or smth
(Unrelated but Choi han is like actually older than these two by quite a bit... It's the opposite of a Leorio situation, where instead of looking way older than he is, he looks way younger
He is the uncle of at the minimum-a-teenager Choi Jung Soo after all)
At first they don't know about how the akumas work because no one told them. It takes Cale panicking he doomed the whole place and them running around a bunch to solve the problem and agree to work together from now on if the need arises because it's just more efficient.
Regressor has a flashy style while Bob tends to work with or from the shadows (his Alberu persona is flashy enough as it is), Dark Yong is the brute of the group. Between all of them combined he has the most strength and stamina, uses sword arts to bring out the most of it while Regressor got the power of time that allows him better agility and Bob uses illusions to back them up and confuse enemies. All in all, through trial and error, practice and shouting matches, they make it work somehow.
There are other people who join them sometimes but everyone sorta got a set piece of the city they should look after
***
Another idea for an akumatized person would be Cage as the 'Crazy Priestess'. She got upset over Taylor Stan, her close friend, being bullied by his brother and some others.
I imagine one time Cale also almost got akumatized but recognizing the type of butterfly he just started frantically swatting at it and it somehow worked out xdd
***
Regressor likes teasing and getting under the skin of Bob as much as possible. Brings up his name every possible occasion but stops if he sees 'Bob' truly upset. He based his whole life over analyzing people's reactions so he always notices pretty quickly. He also pokes at Black Yong but he's more than ready to throw hands at insults.
Sometimes, Cale uses that to get injured enough to not need to go to events... after finding out Black Yong and Bob both pay attention not to fall for these destructive schemes.
Cale has a habit of trying to shake others off because he believes they're better of without him in general and Alberu likes to keep people at an emotional distance to protect himself from unmatched expectations from them so these habits sometimes show their ugly heads even with their hero personas. They work trough it tho, both as civilians and when they occasionally have some deep talks as heros.
***
They work as a group but often times they go work as pairs or solo as well when one of them is not available or busy fighting elsewhere. Black Yong can handle himself just fine, has been doing it for a while just not so publicly, Bob and Regressor often get things done together when they're still starting out (mostly because they're still figuring out how things work)
Regressor is different than Cale because he lets himself express the repressed parts of his personality. Working as a hero also helps him open up to the people who care about him because with every challenge he learns, with any 'mission' he slowly realizes a little more about himself and relationships in general.
Bob is also a 'more free' version of Alberu where despite him being covered from head to toe in a hero costume, this is when he can throw away his masks (however ironic that might be). He lets himself be openly exasperated way more often.
***
To get go to the shipping part- finally haha
Cale/Regressor likes Bob, is infuriated by Alberu Crossman but in a way that he keeps bringing him up with his 'fake smile' and 'smirking eyes' so much that people are questioning why and when he got so obsessed over the guy
Bob one time tries to defend Alberu's (his own) honor before Regressor/Cale only to be faced with the biggest theatrical betrayed look the other can manage to pull off, mouth open, eyebrows furrowed and everything
Alberu/Bob gave up on genuine romance long ago but is developing some feelings for Regressor. It's slow but definitely there. It's the first time this happened to him so he's still figuring out what to do about it but pretty much decides he'll just enjoy what they have till it lasts. He feels curious about Cale Henituse after they had one too many meetings and the other seems keen on laughing in mock silence whenever he gets swarmed by other rich idiots trying their chances with him
One time, to escape said fate at a banquet of sorts, he makes his way to the other and invites him to a dance with eyes that say 'you better say yes or I'm telling on you drinking after your Eric-hyung specifically asked you not to a minute ago'. Cale debated causing a scene to get out of it but after seeing the eastern nobles approach with Eric at front coming with big measured steps, he decided might as well take the offered hand before he gets both an earful about his drinking habits and also a lecture about instead pouring those liquid on others. Alberu couldn't figure out if the other agreeing with just a slight frown was a win or not.
They were both taught dancing as custom from a young age and thanks to it put on quite the performance while exchanging occasional jabs disguised as compliments and accidental compliments disguised as jabs.
If Alberu spent the night thinking about that dance more than he'd like to, that's only for him to know, and if Cale went home from the occasion in a surprisingly better mood than he arrived in, he'd say it was because he could finally leave that stupid place. And if his face flushed thinking back on it, he'd blame it on the alcohol.
***
Some things to mention,
people would be asked to take precautions because of the akuma attacks, if they see suspicious butterflies coming towards them, run the other direction or think happy thoughts
The heros would be investigating the White Star and his forces as civilians too, trying to solve the issues. It might even bring together some of them outside of costumes
***
The final fight would go something like this-
most heros are already out of commission (either their miraculouses are taken or they're simply knocked down) and some civilians get caught up in the battle
Regressor has already detransformed and frantically checking up on anyone nearby especially those he knows. The only thing slightly calming him is the fact his family is nowhere near the battle. Well, except his so called cousin, Kim Rok Soo. He was there with Choi Jung Soo. Choi han tried getting to them but he's already been grabbed by the White Star by the arm. Bob is nowhere to be found (he's actually on the other side trying to get people out of the battle zone faster with the police or something and also engaged with some of Arm's forces). Lee Soo Hyuk was nearby thankfully and grabs his two idiots to run to safety. Cale gets knocked out.
KRS while running notices some miraculouses where left around (he knows what they are from before), picks them up quickly and him being the unexpected variable needed to defeat the ws, the heros win. See? There's your important KRS scene. He was not used to using miraculouses tho and sorta gets knocked out because of it too xd
Now, there's a lot we can go into more detail about, especially what the heck was really going down in this fight, where are the other heros? How do they 'win' exactly?
There's also the shipping part that we could go into more detail about but this is it for now, maybe in another post :D
***
I only watched the first 2-3 seasons of miraculous and the movie so if my understanding of the world building is inaccurate it's most probably because of that
I have more ideas for this if you're interested btw, I should just try organizing them
Maybe I should make a og Choi han x og Cale version, that sounds so much easier... but my rare pair... anyway-
Someone give me a pat on the back if I actually end up writing any of this someday. I want to, but I don't know how to write bruh TT

lying to them *ೃ༄
┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
ׂ╰┈➤ fluff
➣ characters: gon, killua, kurapika, leorio, hisoka, illumi, chrollo
➣ word count: x
└──────────────────────┘
scenario:
“you’re home late, where’ve you been?”
———————————————————————————————————————
gon
- he doesn’t realize at all because even if he does, he’ll tell himself he’s got it wrong
- sees you as too good to lie to him
“you meant to say x right?“
- his absolute trust in you would compel you to come clean then and there
- part of him is upset that you’d lie, but he tries his best to remain calm
- if you’re willing to have a reasonable discussion about it, so is he
- but if you argue, play dumb, or act dismissive, it’d quickly turn into a full blown fight
- honesty is important to him, so while he appreciates your confession
- the fact that you lied in the first place would make him reconsider his boundaries and your relationship
killua
- he wouldn’t notice if it were a small detail
- besides he doesn’t feel like he needs to be on guard around you, analyzing every word
- he’d probably catch you in a lie after absentmindedly asking you a question later and noticing your answer changed
“did you see the limited edition chocolate robot while you were there?”
…
“i thought you said you were at the candy store?”
- he becomes a lot more assertive and firm as he questions you, a glare on his face if you brush it off
- whatever the reason was, he’ll distance himself from you for a day or so
- the idea of you hiding god knows what from him would totally piss him off
- he won’t be mad forever, but for now, it’s probably better you give him space
kurapika
- is inclined to believe you, but pays enough attention that if the story didn’t add up, he’d notice
- and he’d point out any inconsistencies, being upfront about it
“isn’t that friend out of town?
…
“you weren’t with them, were you?”
- his mind would probably fill with doubts and insecurities
- thoughts of infidelity springing to the front of his mind
- he would never be brash or demand answers, though
- if something did happen, his priority is fixing it
- he knows he can be unavailable, so would give you the opportunity to have a real talk with him
- are you unhappy with how things are? was it just a white lie?
- eventually, the problem would be resolved,
- but he makes it very clear he won’t tolerate lying in the future
leorio
- he wouldn’t notice, too tired from school to pay your words much mind
- it’d just be normal routine for you, and honestly, he might not ever find out
- even when he’s fully awake, he simply isn’t all that attentive
- if you decide to tell him, i think he’d be a lot calmer than you might expect
- of course, he’d still be mad, but the most he’d do is raise his voice and argue
- he’s also not the type to storm out, at least until he has clarity about the situation
- if the lie was innocent enough, he’ll be a bit ticked off for the rest of the night, but nothing more
- if it was something bigger, he’d ask for space, not wanting to let his rashness make him do something he’ll regret later
- he’d definitely try to mitigate his response because he does appreciate you coming clean to him
- even if it doesn’t absolve you of the consequences
hisoka
- he notices quickly, he’s an expert at lying after all
- if it’s a good attempt, he’d humor you; playing along, even asking follow up questions and pretending to be fooled
- he sees this all as a game after all
- but eventually, once he’s given the prospect of you lying a little more thought
- he’s a lot less playful, calling you out directly and demanding the truth
- it’s fun when he’s merely amused by your inability to lie
- but at heart, he’s possessive, and the idea that you’re trying to hide an affair irritates him more than he himself understands
- and if it truly was another person you were with, he’d 100% retaliate by killing them
- as for you? he’s content to let you off that hook at that point, warning you not to deceive him again
illumi
- as much of a mastermind he seems to be, social cues elude him completely
- in his eyes, you’re his partner, someone he’d never have reason to doubt
- if you never tell him, you’re free to go on with your day
- but make no mistake, he’s far from dumb
- if there’s a gaping inaccuracy in your words, he’ll immediately accuse you of lying
(e.g. saying you were with someone he himself was with)
- at that point, there’s nothing you can say to get out of this even if you correct yourself
- it’d start an argument, and in the end, he’d be more controlling
- your location? he’d track it at all times
- hanging out your friends? you’d have to ask him first
- and if they’re male, it’ll always be a ‘no’
chrollo
- so there’s no way to lie to him, he’ll catch on immediately
- he’s mastered every aspect of the social scene
- his typical patience is replaced by an eerie calmness as he questions whatever statement you made
- if you come clean at that point and explain yourself
- and he finds it valid enough, he’ll get over it; firmly telling you he won’t be so forgiving next time
- keep lying to him though, and he won’t hesitate to use manipulation tactics on you
- eg. ignoring you, threatening you or whoever he suspects you were with, guilt tripping..
- if you’d grown to see him as an understanding, misunderstood lover, his behavior would extinguish your perception quickly
- once you do confess, he’ll be more distant for the next day or so
- though if you asked him?
“i’m not mad, just disappointed.”

Hi again! I've had this thought in terms of hxh meta that I personally have not seen discussed, so I'm gonna dump it here for you! There's an underlying theme I've noticed of characters throughout the series being one that lost their other halves. Like, most obvious, Leorio and Kurapika lost their childhood best friends. Melody lost her friend to the devil's music. We see Nobunaga lose Uvogin, and so on. So Killua saving Gon instead of letting him die after CAA seems to be a "breaking the cycle" so to speak, although I'm not sure what that would even mean! Nothing much to say besides those details I've noticed, but I wanted to know if you had thoughts? Or perhaps it's just an interesting background detail that is up in the air in terms of being significant?
Hello, thank you so much for sending an ask again! I've put some thought into this topic as well, so I'm happy you brought this up! How I'm answering this is both somewhat abstract and far-reaching in the series so it's a little difficult to summarize and express simply, but I hope you and others might get some meaning out of it!
I strongly believe that one of HxH's great overarching themes is the transformational power of love and how it grants people second chances in life. In this post I'm referring to love in a broader sense, not just romantic love, as of course many different types of love are portrayed and have deep importance in HxH. We see the theme of transformative love in so many different relationships and instances that it's difficult to even summarize them--a few examples are Gon and Killua, Meruem and Komugi, Meruem and his Royal Guard, Ging and Kite, Killua and Ikalgo, even in less major character pairs like Ging and Razor (Razor: "Ging taught me it took only one person, one person in the entire world who will trust you, to save you.") and Kite and Koala, but that's only scraping the surface. I reblogged a previous wonderful meta that pointed out the domino effect of Killua's act of kindness towards Ikalgo, which ended up changing the ultimate trajectory of humanity's war against the Chimera Ants. This is a great example of this theme in action!
But of course, while meeting and loving someone can transform that person's whole life, so also can losing someone significant. It can set someone on a completely different life track than they would have been on had they not lost them--Kurapika, Leorio, Senritsu, the Phantom Troupe (especially with their flashback in recent chapters), Gon and Kite, Kacho and Fugetsu (though this hasn't played out all the way yet) come to mind, but there are many more throughout the series as well. Not all of the losses that fit into this are someone losing their other half/most important person, but there's a solid enough percentage that it certainly seems to be a trend Togashi is establishing and exploring.
It's difficult to explore one of these themes in depth and with honesty without the other--love happens, loss of loved ones happens, both are deeply transformative, and both can ultimately be placed under the broader umbrella of the transformative power of love. After all, if losing a person causes someone's entire life path to change, chances are they loved them a great deal and the force behind the change that occurs in their life is the love and grief they still feel after the loss.
HxH has many tragic elements and Togashi certainly doesn't shy away from the heart-wrenching and long-lasting results of loss, but I think it's fair to say from the 400 chapters we have so far that HxH's themes are not ultimately tragic and hopeless on this topic by any means. In HxH:
Death is not always insurmountable, i.e., Kite, the Chimera Ants in general
The life path one ends up on after a major loss need not be a tragic one, i.e. Leorio deciding to be a doctor and help children in poverty as a result of losing his friend
Death in itself can be an act of love, i.e. Meruem and Komugi, Netero and humanity
Even if one ends up on a dark path as a result of loss, that doesn't mean they can't be saved by someone else's love for them, i.e., Gon and Killua, this could also end up being the trajectory for Kurapika and Leorio potentially?
With Gon and Killua, their whole relationship is based on them transforming each other and giving each other second chances:
Gon saving Killua simply by not judging him, befriending him, and showing him another life path
Gon retrieving Killua from the Zoldyck family when Killua's resolve broke down because of Illumi
Killua pulling the needle of out of his head out of sheer love for and desire to protect Gon
And of course Killua not allowing Gon to die, simultaneously saving him and transforming Alluka's life.
(And Killua's ability to save and help Alluka is of course, a direct result of the kindness Gon extended to Killua and the love Killua has for Gon.)
There's no way to know for certain what will happen in their future, but I definitely think their relationship has one more transformation in it at least, in the form of a reunion and reconciliation.
So, in summary, I think these themes of someone losing a person who was their other half and how one continues to live after that are another way of exploring the broader theme of what it means to love someone and be transformed by meeting them, which I see as a primary theme of HxH. I also think some of these relationships are intended to be comparisons to or foils of Gon and Killua's relationship in a sense (especially Kurapika and Pairo and Kacho and Fugetsu, but others as well), expanding on the themes of their relationship and how a love that deep affects people, both in beautiful and in deeply painful ways.
#hxh#hunter x hunter#meta#gon#killua#killugon#gonkillu#kurapika#leorio#my posts#asks#snowlemons#it's hard to figure out what characters to tag haha#definitely not tagging all the ones I referenced in this post#I feel like this could be stated in a clearer and more eloquent way but I hope it makes sense!#if anyone has something to add on please feel free!#HxH is filled to the brim with examples of these and I'm certain I didn't include a bunch of important ones
