[for-your-comfort]

Hi! I hope you're still taking requests, but can I request a Knuckle Bine x hunter!Reader fic?

Reader is also one of Morel's apprentices and she participates in the fight against the Chimera Ants at the palace. But she's also secretly in love with Knuckle (he's oblivious) and she decides to confess to him in the spur of the moment mid palace infiltration. They just have this little "we might be dead by tomorrow so fuck this" moment, and confess to eachother and kiss desperately before getting back to fighting the Royal Guards. I live for life or death romantic situations and angsty/fluffy moments 😭

I love your writing so I hope I'm not bothering you! Kisses :)

Now or Never

Knuckle x Reader

a/n: i’m sorry this isn’t really what you asked for, i changed it a little to adapt to my current knowledge of HXH since i don’t want to do the chimera ant arc any injustice by putting an unfitting scene in.

summary: you’ve been sent on a dangerous quest with Knuckle and Shoot, and find yourself doubting whether you will even make it out alive. what better moment to confess your feelings?

warnings: injuries + blood loss (no graphic descriptions), bit of angst (but also comfort)

word count: 1603

A moment you feel most vulnerable in… Like your entire world is crashing down, and you’re so helpless, because there is absolutely nothing you can do.

What do you do at this moment? When you’re aware of how fast your thoughts are racing, as if competing with your pounding heartbeat in your ears. And yet still none of those thoughts are helpful, they’re nothing but mere, fleeting ideas passing through. Nothing you need, nothing to save you, nor the person next to you.

Your hiding spot is behind a few boxes, and so far they’ve been a good place to not be found. You listen carefully for anything suspicious, yet all you can hear is your own heartbeat, the irregular breaths of your friend, and the shuffling steps that must belong to the beast. You’re lucky to have limited it’s hearing and smelling senses during the earlier fight, or else you would surely already have been found. And given the circumstances, there’s no guarantee you’d make it.

You put a hand on the ground to steady yourself, and wince in pain when your palm touches the dirty ground. There’s a cut across your hand, that you hadn’t noticed up until now. You will have to clean the wound later and make sure it isn’t infected, if you make it out of this situation alive, that is.

“What is it?”

A hushed voice, barely even a whisper, is heard from beside you. You clutch your hand into a fist as your eyes meet Knuckle’s and guilt washes over you. Isn’t it so selfish to think of your own injury, when the person you cherish most is in much worse shape?

Your eyes linger on Knuckle’s once-white jacket that is all soaked up with blood, and just imagining where it’s coming from makes you tear up once again. He must be in so much pain.

Yet, nobody could have predicted this. Not Morel, when he sent Shoot, Knuckle and you out on a casual bounty hunt for a monster that has turned out to be a bite much bigger than the three of you can chew.

Not Shoot, who had agreed to it without a second thought after seeing the nods of Knuckle and you, who is now nowhere to be seen, ever since you lost sight of him somewhen during the fight before.

And certainly not Knuckle, who has overexerted himself, and gotten this beat up. His usual so energetic self is now slumped against a wooden box, sitting on the floor to your left. The sight breaks your heart over and over again.

“Hm?”

He asks again, and you can tell he’s getting weaker. How much blood has he lost? How much more can he hold on?

You can no longer hold back the tears now silently trickling down your cheeks. You can’t even remember the last time you felt like this, so at the mercy of fate’s cruelty as you couldn’t do anything but sit and wait for the inevitable end, since the two of you can’t possibly hide forever.

You get lost in the features of Knuckle, the deep lines on his face and his furrowed eyebrows. His usually so bold mouth, with lips that have their corners turned downwards now.

His big hands have always seemed so strong and secure, and even at this moment you long for nothing more than to feel them around you, and wake up to find all of this to be just a horrible nightmare. But his hands are tightly clutching the side of his stomach, and you know he’s trying to stop, or at least slow, the bleeding.

A tiny part of you hopes Shoot escaped and is seeking help in the nearest city, however you know very well that it’s hard to access, and even at your usual pace, at least an hour away. By now, that hope for help has pretty much died out.

You make another feeble attempt to use your nen ability, but the presence of the beast is still blocking it out.

You tightly clutch one hand within the other and press your eyes shut, before you feel a rough hand gently wipe your tears.

“Why are you crying?”

You shake your head as you look at Knuckle, and even more tears pour down your face and cheeks, some getting caught in Knuckle's calloused fingers, others spilling down to your clenched hands. But you will not speak. You will buy Knuckle, and yourself, as much time as possible. You will not make one single sound, that could betray your location to the beast. At least, that’s your plan.

As if having read your thoughts, Knuckle goes silent for a moment. He musters you with that look again, that one he gives you whenever you do something he disapproves of, or doesn’t understand.

“Once all this is over and we’re back home tomorrow, I’ll make Shoot and you those dumplings again. I know you mock and criticise my cooking, but it will be the best dumplings of your life-“

You interrupt him with a push against his arm, and he lets it drop to the ground with no resistance. He expected this.

“How can you say that!?” You hiss at him, “Don’t you understand? We might be dead by tomorrow!”

The salty tears rush down your cheeks even quicker as you angrily glare at Knuckle, still trying your hardest to be as quiet as possible.

A soft sigh escapes Knuckle as he reaches an arm out towards you, and gently pulls you into his mostly uninjured side. You simply let it happen, and close your eyes upon impact with his shoulder as you carefully snake an arm around his waist, the other wrapping around his other shoulder.

You can hear him taking a breath to say something, but nothing more than a quiet sob rips through the silence. You instantly pull away to look at him, your eyebrows furrowed in worry.

“You don’t deserve this. Any of this. I failed you.”

His voice is so quiet.

You shake your head and hug him tightly once again, this time with his face buried in your shoulder. You gently brush through his hair with your fingers to soothe him, as you lean in to whisper in his ear.

“You could never fail me. You did all you could, we both did. Then this is just how it has to happen.”

He lets out another sob as he clings onto you, his tears slowly soaking through your shirt.

You hold him tightly, silently crying into his hair. This is honestly the last moment you’d expect to be in when you would get to hold him like this for the first time, but given the circumstances, now there might not be any other moment for this in the future…

“I have feelings for you,” you start, “I have had them for a while now. I guess this might be the last time I get to tell you.”

At once, his eyes are on you, wide and startled, but not in a negative way. You’re happy to see some of his usual energy to be back, even if only for the moment, and that twinkle in his eyes you love so dearly has returned.

You can’t help but reach out to brush your hand through his hair again, your fingers tangling in his curls and getting stuck in the pompadour. Instantly, it seems like Knuckle is melting at your touch like soft butter in the sun. A warm feeling spreads inside your chest at this reaction, as if you swallowed the sun yourself.

“I had no idea… Why didn’t you say anything sooner? No, wait- aaaaaah! I should have said something!”

You cover his mouth with your hand, looking left and right, listening hard, in fears that his whisper-shouts gave away your location. You’re not out of danger, how could you be so reckless? But there’s not a single thing you hear, and you slowly remove your hand.

As you do, even Knuckle seems to sigh out in relief before you feel a calloused hand on your cheek, and Knuckle’s warm breath on your chin before your lips meet.

You sit there, frozen in shock, yet only for a moment. Your eyes flutter closed, your hands desperately grasping at his clothes for some stability, even when you know you must be the strong one in a situation where he is injured.

You two don’t let go of each other, neither of you daring to break the kiss. This wonderful, soft kiss.

His lips are chapped and dry, and you imagine yours aren’t any better. But still, you couldn’t imagine your first kiss to be any more perfect. For while you’re here, there’s no danger. There’s no beast out there to get you, no wound in your palm to burn in pain as you clench fistfuls of Knuckle’s shirt, and no pools of blood seeping through the same once-white shirt.

Right now, this might not even be the last kiss.

“There you are. I could hear you whispering.”

Both Knuckle and you snap your heads towards the source of the voice. And you see Shoot, looking at you with a warm smile.

You first worry that the beast might hear you, but knowing Shoot, he would never be so careless. The beast must already be disposed of. You two are safe. Knuckle will be okay, and you will make sure of that. You look at him, and the look on his face tells you that he has drawn the same conclusions as you.

“Let’s go home.”

Knuckle’s Younger Sibling

Knuckle Bine X Sibling Reader

Summary: You made sure that Killua and Alluka could get back to the city by distracting an assassin and a deranged clown and Knuckle was never on board with it.

Previous (Hisoka)

🐕 Knuckle loved you with all his heart, whenever you were around he’d change into someone that no one had ever seen before, no one had ever seen him act that way around any other human. 🐕 You were a tracker hunter, you trained animals and target extraction, most of the time your work never crossed but when Killua was trying to get Gon help he decided to call on you to help keep an eye on anyone trying to get to the young assassin. 🐕 You were supposed to stay out of sight and away from trouble and for the most part you did that, you kept an eye on Hisoka and Illumi while getting messages to Killua however it seemed that there was still something wrong. 🐕 At the very last minute, you because the only way that Killua was going to get out of the situation that he was in and so you revealed yourself as a distraction while the bird you often used to get around grabbed Killua and Alluka, the only problem was you were on the phone with you brother when you made this very stupid decision.

“(Y/N) what are you doing?” He asked as you dodged another needle and card combo. “Something stupid, now please stop talking or it’s going to get me killed.” You mumbled. “Why don’t you just hang up the phone?” Hisoka asked having snuck up behind you, you dodge another attack. “I’m coming to you.” Knuckle finally spoke again as you hit the floor with a sickening thump. “No you’re not, I’ll be fine! You make sure that Killua gets to Gon or this will have all been for nothing.” You answered through clenched teeth before hanging up and throwing your phone in favour of blocking a kick from Hisoka. You could see Illumi moving but you had no idea what he was doing, you could see the needles in his hands but just as you were about to move again he spoke. “Hisoka.” He ordered and the male in front of you moved replaced by a well-aimed needle that you just managed to move out of the way of. “This is going to hurt.” You murmured to yourself as you dodged out of the way of some playing cards thrown your way.

Knuckle looked at the phone as the line went dead “What’s wrong?” Palm asked as she noticed his aggravation. “Does your ability work if you are looking at a picture of someone?” Knuckle asked. “No, I have to see them in person.” She answered. “Damn it!” He growled out as he threw his phone to the floor. “Woah what’s going on here?” Morel asked. “My sister did something stupid,” Knuckle answered. “I mean you can go after her if you want.” Morel shrugged “there are plenty of us here.” “There’s no point I don’t know where they were, I won’t know until Killua gets here,” Knuckle answered after taking a deep breath, you were right, you both needed to stay focused otherwise this would have been for nothing.

Killua had told you about both of the people in front of you, you knew that you needed to make sure that you kept away from Illumi’s needles and Hisoka had two abilities that you needed to watch out for, you knew that if you let his cards keep hitting you then he was unlikely to use the most dangerous of the two Bungeegum, you couldn’t see any way that texture surprise would be useful unless he got near Illumi so you tried to make sure that they were on opposite sides of the field at all times but you were starting to run low on stamina, in that department they both had you beat. “You’re slowing down, while this has been interesting I trust that you can finish this Hisoka.” Illumi finally spoke straightening himself as he waited for the reply. “Of course.” He answered, you moved to stop him from leaving but Hisoka was in front of you in seconds. “Don’t forget about me now, we’ve got a fight to finish.” “Damn it!” You jumped away from Hisoka, you hoped that you had bought him enough time to get there, your distraction cost you as Hisoka managed to grab your arm, nails digging into your skin. “Any particular reason for the talons?” “Fashion statement.” He answered with a sly smirk as he allowed you to pull your arm away from him and again gain some distance. “Since you answer questions any reason that you’ve been toying with me?” You asked. “Don’t sell yourself short your fun to play with.” He said slowly. “Anyone else would be dead by now, the butler is.” You reminded him and he shrugged. “You have potential dear, you’ve not used your nen ability once and you're still standing very few can say that.” He shrugged, he was about to say something else but the sound of a large wing overhead had you both looking up, you sighed as the bird swooped low talons latching onto your shoulders and lifting you into the sky and away from danger.

When your bird landed you literally rolled yourself off of it, you were lucky that Knuckle was there to catch you “are you okay!?” He asked but his eyes widened when he saw the blood covering your body. “I should have never asked you to help.” “These are just extreme paper cuts.” You mumbled as you gestured the wounds on your arms and legs “they were made with play cards after all.” “We need to get them checked.” He said softly as he walked towards the hospital. “Mmm, what about Gon and Killua are they okay?” You asked. “You hardly know them.” He shook his head. “They are both fine.” “Good, they are your friends I don’t need to know them to know that they are worth helping.” You shrugged “you only like the best people.” “Let’s get you patched up and then your taking like 2 years' rest.” He ordered. “Nope… I settle for 2 weeks.” You said as you patted his shoulder and he rolled his eyes, he’ll have to argue about that later.

[reality-maybe]

Hey real quick, imagine your f/o waking you up with kisses and cuddles.

They knew you needed to wake up but didn’t want disturb you so they did it in the softest way they could think of

They lay on the bed facing you as you’re still sleeping. It starts out with them brushing any stray hairs you may have out of your face while also caressing your cheekbones with their thumb

They scoot closer towards your body and drape an arm over you, warm fingers traveling their way up to the nape of your neck, attempting to stimulate you

They lean in and first press a feather light kiss to your forehead and pause to see if that does anything. If that doesn’t make you stir, they lean back in, ghosting small kisses over you eyelids, nose, and cheekbones.

their warm hand traveled down your sleeping form until they’re absentmindedly drawing gentle patterns into the exposed areas of your hips and sides where your sleepwear had ridden up ever so slightly

You’d be dreaming about whatever when You’re roused by a distant yet familiar feel of something coaxing out of your restful state as it repeatedly but gently pressed into what feels like your forehead, cheeks, and jaw

The intrusion wasn’t an unwelcome one though. You inhale deeply and subconsciously move towards the source of those tender touches. You had yet to see what was giving you such attention, but you had an inking as to what or who it was. Regardless, the feeling made you feel warm and safe.

They were busy peppering tiny kisses against your jawline when they hear you stir and feel your rousing body shift. They dip their head into the crook of your neck just for a second, inhaling your scent, savoring the moment of sweet comfort, and smile softly against your neck as you begin to wake

you open your eyes with effort, making what your partner would later call a cute little startup noise, and immediately your vision filled with the familiar prominence of what you make out to be a nose in front of eyes rivaling the most precious gemstones. You’re still only half aware of what’s going on, but you could recognize those eyes anywhere.

Your full body reflexively stretches while your still in their arms, and they take the opportunity to wind their secure arms around you and shift against you, pulling you closer to their body, now fully snuggled up against them

Your brain cleared of the sleepy fog enough to press back against them and smile lazily. You shift again slightly and rest your head against their neck and collarbone, before leaning up to nuzzle your nose against their jaw affectionately, finishing off the sweet action with a kiss to their chin

you manage to rasp out a “good morning”voice more grainy than you’d like it to be, an indicator that you really were in a deep sleep

Your heart fluttered as they chuckled and hugged you just a little tighter for a moment, endeared by your sleepy state. They say it back to you, voice laced with fondness, raising an arm to cup your cheek and stroke your hair.

They lean over you to kiss you softly, lips moulding against theirs perfectly, and you feel them draw you in even closer, as if even the smallest space between you both could drive a fissure between you. But all you felt in the kiss was a glowing love for your f/o and hummed into the kiss, bliss overtaking you

You arch your neck a little as they card their fingers through your hair and against your scalp in a gentle massage. The action felt so nice that you could’ve closed your eyes and fallen right back asleep. But your f/o is here, why conjure a dream in sleep when your dream was right in front of you, embracing you, loving you

You both stay like that for a moment, simply enjoying each other’s company and companionship, absentmindedly leaving sweet touches and kisses on each other, warmth radiating in their wake. If you both didn’t get up soon, you’d both be put behind schedule, but there was nothing too pressing to do that day. Sometimes, mornings like these were all you both needed.

[duckymcdoorknob]

Not to be self-indulgent on main, but Knuckle Bine would 10000% love a plus sized s/o.

How they kill the mood

What’s up y’all, today I was bravely spelunking into the world of danganronpa imagine blogs. As expected, I found some of the most 13 year old “former gifted kid” shit I’ve seen in a while. But I did actually find a great idea for a post. I can’t remember what the account was called or even if this was already a hc trend, but they made a post about how they ruined the romantic mood. I thought that was really funny, so I wrote up some hcs about that. Not all of the men are here, only the ones I was inspired to do, so if someone’s missing, I just couldn’t think of anything funny. I hope you enjoy these. Remember to leave a request, but in honor of the danganrompa fandom we were all so immersed in at one point, I request that you call me “mod mondo” if you do leave a request, lol.

Characters: Pariston, Phinks, Shalnark, Kite, Leorio, Knov, Knuckle, Nubunaga, Chrollo, Hisoka, Shoot

**NSFW. Most of the scenarios take place during or before sex/intimacy.**

Pariston: he’ll be stroking your body, and all of the sudden slide his hand back to a place he just passed over. He pinches the skin a little bit, then pats while he says “hm. I don’t remember you having all this extra fluff 🤗” super smarmy like

Phinks: he finishes too early a LOT. The sad thing is, he doesn’t make the best out of a bad situation; he just shuts down from there. Like, baby can you at least use your finger?? But he’s too embarrassed and sad, poor thing.

Shalnark: the moment he starts to do anything even remotely sexy or cute, you’re reminded of the fact that his 3DSxl is on sleep mode in his pocket, counting his steps so he can get those sweet sweet street pass coins. Imagine him keeping his cargo shorts on during sex just so that he can rack up those steps when he rides you.

“Two birds, one stone! 🤗”

Kite: He tries really hard to turn on music to set the mood, but he always starts it up a little too late: in the time where the two of you are getting hot and heavy, just praying that the next song that comes on isn’t Phil Collins, that’s when he likes to fumble with the Bluetooth speaker.

“Shit, hang on”

“Kite, sit back down”

“But-“

“Kite. Norah Jones being on in the background would have been nice 3 minutes ago”

Like omg Kite, my clothes are already off, you’re in the home stretch, bring it home! Nora will do you no good here!!

Leorio: if you’re naked in front of him and he sees a bruise on your body, he’s going to poke it and push down on it. Like and he’ll be shocked when you get angry, like he’ll break out of his trance and be like 😰 sorry!!

Knov: It seems like he developed a complex sometime ago where he doesn’t want to seem too serious or unapproachable. This especially rears its ugly head when the to of you have your adult time. In an attempt to seem more laidback, he tries to sexily chuckle in a deep voice and smile more than he should, if at all. It’s unnatural and kind of creepy, but he seems to think it really works out for him, but more than once you’ve had to close your eyes and tune him out

Knuckle: becoming intimate is a really emotional thing for him. Yes, he enjoys it, but he also thinks it’s appropriate to take the opportunity to tell you things he otherwise wouldn’t tell you, or things that are in your best interest not to know. Like he’s balls deep and having the time of his fucking life, but a shadow passes over his eyes, and he takes a moment to tell you something he feels guilty about. Never something damming or even nearly relationship ending in any regard, but always something you didn’t need to know

“Wait. I have to tell you something”

“Can it wait?”

“When you left to go to the bathroom on thanksgiving, your sister said that she didn’t know how you left the house in what you were wearing. I didn’t defend you, I’m so sorry! I took advantage of your trust 😭”

Like omfg baby keep it to yourself I don’t care and now I feel self conscious about that outfit

Nobunaga: He’s a very attentive lover, and is always eager to please. Unfortunately, he also has a bad memory, especially when he’s got a lot on his mind. So sometimes, you come home to something really shocking, but the way he’s acting makes it seem like a special treat he’s giving you. Nothing more shocking than getting home and walking into the bedroom only to see him naked save for a tiny skirt, ass facing you and knees on the bed, with his hair done up in two pigtails.

“What the fuck is this?”

“A dream come true, baby😘”

“Maybe for someone else…”

“What? I thought you said you wanted this?😰”

“WHEN did I say that??”

He went through all the effort of accidentally fabricating a kink for you, but you were more impressed with his outfit; that wasn’t even your skirt he was wearing!!

Hisoka: he takes his phone out and starts taking pictures. He insists they’re only for him, but knowing him, he will definitely use those as blackmail; thats what you thought at first. Then you realized that literally none of the photos had you in the shot, and that even Hisoka wasn’t capturing anything lewd. Just his face and upper body. But the poses he strikes, ooof. He’s straight up like sticking his tongue out and doing the “fierce” sign. The most disturbing thing to you is that he’s so self obsessed that even during sex, something possesses him to take selfies for his Snapchat stories like the baddie he is

Chrollo: He’s super judgmental, tbh. There’s nothing more discouraging than working up the courage to ask for something you’ve been wanting for a while, only for a pair of eyes to peer at you from over the top of an open book, and for them to roll as he tries to decide if it’s even worth putting the story down for.

“Hey… you know how we—“

“What? I can’t hear you”

“You know how we discussed that thing earlier and you said maybe? Well… have you put any more thought into it?”

“Oh! That? 😬🤢 I was really hoping that was satire”

Shoot: he doesn’t have a high libido. There ain’t nothing wrong with that, but it’s funny to watch him start laying the groundwork for going to bed early on anniversaries or birthdays or other special nights when he usually has to put out for you.

“Wow, my stomach has been hurting since lunch, I wonder if I ate a bad shrimp” -Valentine’s Day, 2019, 4:56pm. Forgot that he ended up getting chicken instead, and didn’t have a single shrimp that meal.

“Sorry, I have a little bit of a headache, that’s why I’ve been kind of quiet”- Your birthday, 2019, 3:40pm. Wasn’t being any quieter than usual, but was going through the pain of clutching his “pulsing brow” and wincing in your line of sight every so often

“My mom called earlier and it turns out my great uncle passed away this morning. I’ve been pretty in my head about it”-3 year anniversary, 2020, 8:32pm. The great uncle in question has apparently been quite ill for awhile, as his death had already been an excuse two other times.

He lays it on pretty thick; he’s pulling out all the stops to not have to have sex. You have to admire his dedication.

Hcs for Knuckle and Shoot kissing their s/o? ☺️

Oh...oh. Oh. Oh. Oh my. I may need a moment. 💓

These men need some smooches. I think they deserve some sweet lovin'. 💗

💋

Knuckle

Oh... Could you imagine? Knuckle would be a nice kisser. Plush lips, warm, comfy presses, staying careful against his significant other...even if he really wants to be a little bit rougher. He doesn't want to hurt them, or make them uncomfortable at all.

I think that his first kiss would be precious. He gets so nervous that he either misses his significant other's lips, or not even move against them because he is RED in the face and he REFUSES to mess this up. His significant other ends up laughing at him, and he almost tells them to shush without thinking. Don't laugh at me!!!

Once he started to get comfortable, he is indeed a nice kisser. Very warm and cozy. He will not want to stop during an intimate moment or a steamy make out. Goes for holding his significant other's waist for the most part. Knuckle can be quite suave without even trying.

Oh my goodness, he would do those little nuzzles and pecks, so sweet. Would absolutely kiss spots that his significant other were insecure about or disliked, like their tummy or anywhere. In a serious and long term relationship, he loves the deep, tender kisses to their lips. He wouldn't have it any other way.

If any of that comes back to him though, he is going to get bashful all of a sudden. Don't stop, he genuinely likes it. Knuckle would admit that he does to his partner, but hates getting attention. (Seriously, baby him. He deserves it, I think. And he would like it deep down in his heart.)

Shoot

(My baby!! My baby, oh my sweet Shoot, please let me give you a smooch 💋💞)

Shoot seems like such a sweetheart. I bet he would be a lovely kisser, once he was comfortable and not so nervous. He also has very nice, plush lips. So kind and sweet, but so...so shy.

This poor man would hesitate to make the first move for his first kiss. If his significant other hints at it enough, or pushes him gently in the right direction, he'll eventually gather up the courage himself. But most likely, his significant other will have to press their lips to his first. Or...they could just ask. To Shoot's embarrassment. He blushes bad enough already.

Whenever Shoot grew more comfortable with kissing, he is quite a good kisser. So soft, sweet, caring. Not as hesitant as he was, yet careful against their lips. Shoot melts when he kisses them, he enjoys kissing so much. Never knew he would fall in love with it. Shoot can be quite romantic as well, cupping their cheek, fingers laced through theirs, hand placed on their thigh or waist...

Shoot's favorite thing to do is kiss their forehead and cheeks, nuzzling their jawline with his nose, all of the intimate and close kisses...but oh, Shoot is still his naturally shy self. He gives that small grin into their hair or neckline, hiding his face from them from time to time. It's cute.

If his significant other just so happened to give him all of their attention...oh have mercy. Shoot would not be able to handle it. He actually keens over it, but he gets so embarrassed. They don't have to do that... I feel like Shoot deserves to have all of that love and affection though. He should be given the attention, especially to the places he is insecure about or disliked. Shoot would do the exact same for them.

Nothing to worry about- Knuckle Bine HXH

Warning: Fluff

Yn P.O.V

It was almost 8 in the morning and I was still waiting for the boys to get back. I was currently at the hunter association sitting with Netero. I tapped my foot at a consistent fast pace. I glanced down at the watch on my wrist that my fiancé gave me. They should have been back 3 hours ago.

"They'll return shortly, I'm sure of it." I glanced up at Netero as he repeated the same sentence for what felt like the millionth time. I gave a small smile and glanced back at my watch. I stood and crossed my arms, shifting my weight to one foot as I sensed the three approaching I heard the door open and in walked Morel, Shoot and Knuckle. Their clothes were ripped with all types of stains on them.

"Three hours with no call,no text -nothing."

"Looks like someone's in trouble" Morel said looking over at Knuckle as he scratched the back of his neck. "Actually all three of you are." I said.

"Aww come on Yn, we missed our first train and had to catch the next one. It was a long mission so we took a nap on the way back, that's all. Besides these two did pretty damn good if you ask me." Morel said as he placed a hand on each of their heads. I walked over to them with my arms open trying to embrace them all in a hug.

"Don't scare me like that again." I said as they hugged me back. "I'll brief the chairman, you all get home and get some rest." Morel said as we all pulled away, Netero stood to his feet.

"You don't have to tell me twice." Knuckle said as he hoisted me up bridal style causing me to yelp as he rushed out the door. Before I knew it we were out of the building. He placed me down gently and I hugged him immediately wrapping my arms around his neck. He embraced me in a tight squeeze.

"Umm Knuckle, honey, you're killing me." I said as I struggled for breath a little. "Sorry" he said as he hesitated to let me go. I stepped back looking him over. He had a few bruises and minor cuts and his clothes were torn. I looked him in his eyes before speaking.

"How about we get you home, clean you up and get a good meal in you." A small smile played on his lips as he stared deeply in my eyes.

"Sounds amazing." He pecked my forehead before we headed to the car. Knuckle opened the driver side door for me before hopping in the passenger seat. On the drive home he told me about his mission and as much as I hated the danger he was in I understood completely. With the both of us being beast hunters I understood the dangers of the job. As dangerous as the job is i know that he enjoys what he does. His eyes always seemed to sparkle when he told me about missions he returned from. I love when he gets riled up talking about his job.

Before long we had arrived home. As soon as knuckle opened the door all three of our dogs jumped oh him licking his face. "Hahaha! Okay! Okay! I missed you all too!" He said as he tried his best to pet them all at once. The sight was almost enough to make me cry. It's just too pure 🥺.

"Be right back." I said as I ran to the kitchen turning off the pot of stew that had been slow cooking since this morning. As I lifted the lid to take a peak at the food I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist. "It smells amazing. What are you making?" I smiled and quickly closed the lid turning around. His hands were planted firmly on my waist as I was lifted on the counter behind us. He stood between my legs brushing his calloused thumb across my cheek. "Sorry, you'll have to wait to find out. Let's get you cleaned up then we can eat." I looked down at his ruined clothes as I began to unbutton his shirt. Undoing the last button I slipped his shirt off of his shoulders and held it to my chest. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my forehead to his.

"It feels so good to be home." He said as he placed a kiss on my lips. "I'm just glad you made it back safe." I nuzzled my face into his neck. "Of course, I can't leave you behind. Home is where the heart is and you're my home." He rubbed small circles on my back before lifting me up. I wrapped my legs around him as he walked to the bathroom. I hopped down and began to run a bubble bath. Knuckle leaned against the sink as he watched my movements. As I turned around my face met with Knuckle's solid chest. I looked him over and noticed he was only in his boxer now.

"Join me" he said as he lifted my shirt above my head. I removed the remaining clothing with the help of my fiancé before he removed his boxers. He held my hand as I stepped in the warm bath. He got in after me sinking into the tub up to his neck with his eyes closed in a relieving manner.

Knuckle POV

I opened my eyes to see my beautiful fiancé smiling at me with her soft eyes. I shifted in the tub to the other side laying between her legs. Her hands began to caress and massage my tired shoulders. I let out a sigh of relief. "Mmh that feels nice." I said relaxing into her even more. "Anything for the man I love." I smiled giving her leg a small squeeze. Her soft delicate hands made their was to my hair wetting it a little. I felt my hair fall as she poured water in it. Here comes the best part. I felt her hands leave my head briefly then return lathering the shampoo. I always loved the way she played in my hair. She's always so gentle and loving. She continued to wash my hair as I almost dozed off. She planted light kisses on my head every now and then as she hummed to me.

After my hair was clean we washed up and went to the bedroom. I put in a pair of shorts and she put on one of my shirts. "Are you ready to eat?" She broke me away from my thoughts. "You're absolutely gorgeous you know that?" That huge smile took over her face as she pounced on me causing us to fall on the bed. She was now straddling me as I peppered her face with kisses. Her lips found mine as a heated make out session began. Her hands were placed on my chest as I ran my hands along her curves. I removed one hand from her waist and placed it on her chin. I slowly pushed her head up as I peppered kisses from her lips to her neck and collar bone. The pads of her fingers pressed into my chest as she tried to hold back her noises. She tapped my chest twice and kissed me deeply before pulling away.

Yn POV

"Let's get some food in you first." I winked at him before hopping up and grabbing his hand leading him to the dining room of our home. "Can we skip straight to desert?" A smirk was spread cross his face with a faint blush on his cheeks. I shook my head no letting out a small giggle. I walked into the kitchen with knuckle following behind me. He grabbed the dog food out of the cabinet and went to go feed the dogs as I plated our food. I peaked my head out of the kitchen to see knuckle sitting criss cross on the floor next to the dogs, petting them as they ate. I walked over to them and Knuckle looked up at me. "Dinner is ready." He immediately jumped up putting his fist in the air. "Alright! A home cooked meal!"

He picked me up bridal style and I cuddled closer to his chest. He placed me in my chair at the dining room table and disappeared into the kitchen. "WOO-HOO! TOFU STEW! MY FAVORITE!" He returned with our food and a huge smile on his face. He placed the food down in front of us and grabbed my hand causing me to look him in the eyes. "Thank you for everything you do." His words sent a warm feeling through out my body. He kissed the top

of my head before planting one on my lips.

   As we were eating my mind wandered. The same thought that has been pestering me for a while now. I'll never know how he feels about it until I ask. I picked at my food as I began to get nervous.  "H-hey Knuckle" "Hmm?" He responded as he looked up from his food.

   "So I've been thinking—ya know- you work a lot and although I have the dogs sometimes I get a little lonely missing you." He raised al eyebrow at me as he continued to eat. Before he could speak I continued with what I was saying before I lose my courage. My fists were clenched tightly as I blurted out exactly what's in my mind. "I WANT TO HAVE A LITTLE US!" I squeezed my eyes shut as I waited a response. As I was peeking my eyes open I was picked up causing a small yelp to leave my lips. His lips immediately started to attack my neck.  I placed my hand on the back of his neck and wrapped my legs around his waist. I lifted my head to grant him more access to my soft skin. He pulled away from my neck briefly to speak. "I would love nothing more." He continued to plant soft kissed all over my face and neck before carrying us into the bedroom.

I guess I was worried for nothing.

Part 2? (Smut?)

[simping-i-guess]

Some hxh characterxreader headcanons, but the characters that I feel don’t get enough love.

Uvogin

I feel like despite Uvogin’s violent tendencies and rather large personality, you could have a healthy long-term relationship with him.

Because like, I think he’s self aware enough to know what shit would break the relationship, and he loves you and wouldn’t want that. You’re special.

As soon as you start dating, he will brag to every member of the troupe individually. It doesn’t matter if you’ve met them, he’ll just say “Hey, guess who found THIS cutie?” and he’d show them a picture on his phone.

Just as he can be incredibly violent, I think he can be incredibly affectionate. I’d go as far to say, of all the Phantom Troupe members, he’d probably be the most physically affectionate.

As many have also said, he’d have all sorts of names to call you, mostly the normal shit. ‘Sweet-cheeks’, ‘babe/baby’, ‘honey’, ect.

Ask him to carry you. He will.

I can’t see Uvo as being too gentle in anything, but I do think he’d tone any intimate roughness down until he knew what you were able to handle. He’d be scared to kill you accidentally.

Pakunoda

I absolutely believe she would be very reserved until you got to know her. Once she’s comfy though, I think she’d be super fun to be around.

PDA depends on her mood, but I see her being one to be content holding your hand or kissing you on the cheek in public. She doesn’t care too much if people notice but she isn’t going to try and be flashy or anything.

Would probably buy you flowers.

Also, would be really appreciative of any gifts you got her. I think she’d really hold on to any act of kindness you did, I doubt she got too much of it from anyone outside the Troupe.

If she could, she’d introduce you to her family. Albiet, I think she’d be a bit shy to, and absolutely would get Chrollo’s permission before even TELLING you about them. That’d be after a long while of being together.

Whole Troupe will tease her a bit but they’ll all be really happy for her.

Morel

Does Morel have a canon age? I always saw him as being around 40 or so.

That said, I think he’s probably been so focused on his hunter duties, any dating past age 30 has probably been minimal. He just, stopped actively looking.

I think if you showed interested he’d be back on the dating train though.

Gentlemanly, but not overly-so. I’d think he’s pretty casual, he’s too old to be totally into lovey show-off stuff.

He’ll still give you flowers on valentines day and make you dinner on your birthday though. And he’s very polite.

He’s pretty affectionate. Casual PDA is fine, but he prefers to do most things in private. As soon as he gets you alone, he’ll happily sit down and cuddle with you.

Very open with you, especially about his feelings. Absolutely will cry in your lap if he needs to get anything out, and will appreciate any comfort you offer greatly.

Has no problem with you crying either, he’d probably see it as endearing. He’s happy to hold you or give you space when needed.

Knuckle

Knuckle is a bit like Morel, but way less experienced. Once again unsure of age, but I’d pit him at around 25~30.

He’s been on a few dates, but nothing felt right. He focused more on his personal goals.

So when he found you, he was kind of taken aback.

Absolutely a gentleman. Like overly so. He’ll open doors for you, buy you flowers, INSISTS on buying you dinner, all that stuff. it’s very genuine- he really just feels like that’s the best way for him to treat you.

Once you start offically going steady, he’ll calm down some of the more excessive gentlemanly actions if you ask him to. He’ll still hold doors open for you though.

This man does not give a fuck what anyone thinks, he will kiss and hug and cuddle you in public all he wants- so long as you’re okay with it.

He just wants to hold you all the time- the BIGGEST cuddler. Will big spoon, but really enjoys being the little spoon, even if he’s way bigger than you.

If you cry, he’ll cry. Doesn’t matter why. Seeing you sad makes him so distraught, it’s just a reflex.

[illumisimi]

Your Knuckle x shy/soft reader was so darn CUTE! 😭💕 If you want to, could you continue with a part two please? Your writing style is just so perfect for that fluffy and wholesome love 🥰

- aaa im so glad you liked that little fic, i really enjoyed writing it too ! as per request, here’s a short follow up to this post ♡

don’t be shy about it (knuckle x reader)

Knuckle straightened up his usual attire, staring off into the distance as he recalled the numerous pep talks he had been receiving from Morel about his complicated situation. He was sure he was ready now, though.

For the last few days, he had been running through his mind ways to finally tell you that he saw you as more of a teammate, more than a fellow talented hunter. But it was so complicated to come up with a decent, yet sentimental enough to get his point through, group of sentences. He wished there was just some other way that one could confess their love to another.

Confess. That word irked him, it made him sound fragile, small...pathetic. This wasn’t just a crush he had developed on a random stranger, so he didn’t really want to use the verb “confess”. It was more of a “declaration”.

No, that still sounded strange.

Putting those thoughts aside, he had finally pushed himself to actually speak to you, instead of hiding his feelings like he had been for awhile now. He was nervous, to say the least, but he knew that, by telling you, he would be relieving a large weight from his shoulders, whether you felt the same or rejected him.

Oh god, what if you rejected him? Knuckle wouldn’t know what he would do with himself if you turned your back on him and brushed off his words as if they meant nothing to you. 

He started to doubt himself as he made his way towards where you were currently taking a rest, but managed to continue his step despite these contradicting assumptions. 

There you were, sat on one of your favoured blankets, surrounded by little white flowers as you ate away at your lunch. The scene was almost picturesque from his point of view, and he wished he could capture it in all it’s glory. You had probably heard him approaching, as you turned your head to look at him.

“Good afternoon, Knuckle. Is something wrong? You seem a bit...distressed?”

Panic. Your soft voice left him almost crumbling down inside, and all he wanted to do was curl up into a ball and forget he had even thought about doing this. Why was this turning out to be so complicated?

“Nothing’s wrong, don’t worry. I just came here to talk to you”

His own voice didn’t crack by a share miracle, he was practically shaking as he stood in front of your ethereal self. 

“Oh, what did you come to talk to me about?”

It was now or never. Sucking in a gust of air, raising his shoulders as he did, Knuckle closed his eyes, mentally preparing himself for the disaster that was about to unravel in that exact moment.

“I just wanted to tell you that I’ve developed a sort of affection towards you, and  I just wanted to get it off of my shoulders, because it’s been bothering me for awhile now. W-Well, you’re not bothering, it’s more the, uh...the thoughts about you. Damn, no, that’s not what I mean, I-”

As he babbled and stumbled on his own words, you had stood up fro m your sitting position, a warm smile spreading across your lips. You had never seen Knuckle act so nervous and shy, almost. It filled your heart with love, and you decided to cut him off by placing your hands on his broad chest, feeling his heart racing.

“Knuckle...I understand what you’re trying to say, don’t worry. And...I hope you’re happy to know that I’ve also kind of been thinking about you in that way for the past few weeks, I just didn’t think you’d feel the same”

His world paused. Everything seemed to stop and he was utterly left without words. Didn’t think he’d feel the same? Had you seen yourself? Did you know how much of an angel you were on both the outside and inside? Anybody would fall for someone as amazing as you!

At the sudden silence, you giggled slightly, noticing that he had been taken back by your response. Rather than ask if he was alright, you leaned up towards him on your tippy toes, and placed a soft kiss onto his cheek.

“So...is this feeling mutual, then?”

Knuckle’s face turned several shades of red at your actions, and finally got himself to nod in response to your question. He couldn’t quite believe what was going on. 

“Perfect”

He wrapped his arms around your smaller body, deciding that this was the perfect moment to lower himself down slightly and press his lips against yours in a short, yet sweet, kiss. One that he was sure to remember and treasure for possibly the rest of his life.

🎄25 Days of HXH: Day 3: Knuckle x Wishes🎄

A/N: The song listed is from my favorite Christmas movie, The Polar Express. For some reason it makes me super emotional.

The snow crunched under your feet, occasionally kicking up thin ice sheets that had frosted over the snow, cracking and popping beneath your steps. Stooping down, you wiggled your fingers under the thin sheet, gently tugging a chunk loose. Turning to Knuckle, you handed it to him, watching him gently take it and tap it, only for a piece to crack off and fall, much to his slight dismay. He then stooped down as well, attempting to take a new chunk like you’d done moments earlier. He managed to take one and gingerly placed it in your hands. He looked proud of himself for obtaining a sizable chunk, grinning at you. You popped it between your thumbs, placing the broken pieces over each other and continuously popping them until you had tiny glass like bits in your hands, letting them fall into the snow. Taking Knuckles hand, you continued on through the park, admiring the winter wonderland while it was still here. Believe by Josh Groban

Taglist:  @to-move-on-means-to-grow​ @lifescreams27​ @twistedsmth​ @some-weeb-chick​ @dukinaxael​ @errorpeachy​ @demon-hugger​ @my-child-gaara​ @absolute-flaming-trash​ @yep-seeyalaterbranflakes​ 

Knuckle had asked you to accompany him to the park, embarrassed by Shoot teasing him about wanting to admire the park in its snowy, Christmas decorations, including teasing about being so excited about the Christmas season. In truth, Knuckle rarely got to do anything fun that was Christmas related. It wasn’t because he was working, but because he’s never worked up the courage to go and see things himself. Between Shoot teasing him about his secret affinity for Christmas and genuinely feeling silly to have such a child like feeling towards it, he shied away from participating in the season, other than purchasing gifts for his friends. His family rarely did anything fantastic for the season either, despite him being so enthralled by all the lights and the spectacle of it all. He’d always watched from a distance, and he’d only mentioned a snippet of that revelation and fact to you, causing you to nearly lose your mind, him not having done so much as make a snow angel or make cookies. There was so much more to Christmas than gifts.

Seeing Knuckle quietly mess around with the snow, attempting to make a perfect snowball, hitting the icicles off the tree branches or simply making tons of snow fall from the trees was quite the sight, because the simplest things seemed to spark something in him. Knuckle had made another snowball, walking towards a tree just before chucking the snowball at it.

That was quite the mistake on his part.

The snow from the branches came crashing down, landing on top of him.

You doubled over in laughter as you made your way over to help him as he slowly got up, looking dazed and slightly cold. You brushed snow off his hair and shoulders, taking care to gently rub his rosy cheeks, trying to make sure his face didn’t get too cold.

“You were too close, sweetheart” you laughed, taking care to gently rub snow from his lashes.

“I didn’t think I was that close…” Knuckled looked up, finally taking note of the branches directly above him. 

“Are you alright though? Did any snow get in your jacket?” checking him over, trying to sweep snow out of the hood on his jacket.

“A little bit, but I’m alright, thank you.” Knuckle reassured, blushing at you fussing over him. 

Continuing on with him in the park, you arrived at the center, an open ice skating rink filled with people, mostly couples, skating away in small circles, holding each other. Glances at Knuckle, he was completely taken by this, his eyes flashing from couple to couple, watching them hold each other and their movements, slightly in sync as they would keep each other from falling...or falling all over each other. 

You giggled, for every time you caught him admiring something, his eyes would glow, that special glow that’s only found when something strikes a chord in someone's heart, setting their soul on fire. 

“Do you want to go ice skating some time, Knuckle?” you nudged him, gesturing to the couples on the rink.

“We don’t have to, I was just watching-” he had panic and embarrassment in his voice, peeling his eyes away from the rink.

“You don’t have to be shy about it. If you want to go, we can go!” you said, raising an eyebrow at him.

“I would rather not force you, y/n…” looking away from you as he began fiddling with his hair gently.

“I’d love to go with you, Knuckle. It’s not a problem.”

His eyes met yours, full of excitement as he grinned. He nodded with such enthusiasm and force, you were afraid he’d hurt his neck.

You squeezed his hand and kept walking as he went back to absently watch the people on the rink.

“I’ve never been ice skating before, although I doubt I’ll be good at it.” Knuckle mused, letting out a nervous huff.

“Well that’s alright! I still get to spend time with you, so it works out!” poking his cheek, looking at him.

He gasped a little, his cheeks burning red with your casual statement. 

“Thank you, y/n...for all this!” he waved his hand around, gesturing to the trees and snow.

“For...the...park?” you asked, tilting your head.

“No for doing all this with me. I’ve wanted to do stuff like this for so long but…” he trailed off, his eyes suddenly looking distant. 

“Of course I’d do this with you. Why wouldn’t I?” looking at him, trying to read him. 

“Because I’m too old…?” sounding more like a question than an answer. 

You squinted at him, absolutely incredulous. Too old? Too old? Was there an age limit on Christmas activities?

“What does that even mean?” you asked, genuinely confused.

“You know...all the Christmas stuff. I was younger and I always wanted to do it, but I never got the chance.” his eyes looked glazed over as he was lost in thought, lost in memories of dreams long forgotten. “I wished a whole lot that I’d get to do it eventually but I just got older, and people told me I’m too old and...yeah.” 

“Knuckle, honey.”

“Yeah?”

“You aren’t even 30 yet. Even then, that doesn’t stop you from enjoying Christmas.” you rubbed his knuckles gently, your heart melting from seeing the look in his eyes. It was a lonely look, a look deprived of a joy that everyone should feel at least once in their life. 

“I know! I still want to do it! I do! But it feels so silly sometimes, so childish.” his voice sounded angry, on the edge of falling apart. 

You moved your hand to his back, quietly rubbing it as you spoke.

“It’s not childish, it’s different. It’s…special. A Christmas thing, really...I don’t know how to explain but you’ll get it…”

Knuckle sighed, looking distant as he quietly kicked at the snow, nudging the ice sheets with the tip of his boot. He didn’t answer you, just kept walking, his eyes still somber.

“I’m taking you out tonight, Knuckle.” you said, planning something quietly. Whether or not it would work, you had no idea. 

“Eh? Where?!” he looked at you, excited again, forgetting the previous conversation. 

“Can’t tell you that silly. It’s a surprise~” laughing at him as he pouted.

You squeeze his arm, and he pokes and prods at you, trying to get the surprise out of you. For the rest of the walk, all he did was try to figure out just where you were taking him later.

Later that night, around 8pm, you told Knuckle to get ready, since it was time to bring him out again for his surprise. Hearing that, he nearly hurt himself in excitement putting his jacket and scarf on, his questions flying out a mile a minute, once again trying to figure it out. 

Once you were ready, you laced your fingers in his and walked out into the streets, making your way to the city.

Upon entering the city, Knuckle couldn’t hide his pure awe, taking in the city. Cities with skyscrapers and busy streets always had a starstruck type appeal during Christmas. The lights on display in a city were always dazzling, the city holding no punches in putting on a show with the lights and decorations. Cities always had an extra air of love and giving during the holiday season, its inhabitants carrying the atmosphere from person to person. Little pop up shops and carolers were on every corner, so a surprise would be always somewhere for you to find. Knuckles eyes couldn’t stay in one place, flitting from one scene to the next, a smile making its way to his lips, and you could see him falling in love with the city Christmas scene. 

Gently tugging at him, you pointed out little things to him, like the horse drawn carriage (which he gushed about for 20 minutes, begging you to please go with him, to which of course, you obliged because, how could you not?), and to a little shop on the corner of a street, to which he sheepishly bought a Christmas hat (claiming it was for Morel). You both stopped again after some time to get hot chocolate with a candy cane, which sent Knuckle into a tizzy about mixing hot cocoa with a candy cane, how it was smart and delicious all at the same time. He placed a donation in a donation bucket, absolutely falling apart at the thought of people suffering at a time like this, and in general, but especially during the holidays. Eventually, the two of you got to your destination.

Knuckle was speechless.

You’d brought him to a wishing tree, a giant Christmas tree in the center of the city, and it reached the height of some of the office buildings surrounding it, suggesting it to be hundreds of feet tall. As scary as the height of this tree was, it was the decorations that’d clearly caught Knuckle’s eyes. The lights and ornaments traveled up the entire tree, stopping at a massive star on the top, sparkling and glowing. There were gifts beneath the tree as well, hundreds if not thousands of boxes. There was a glow in Knuckle’s eyes as well, completely taken by the sight of this tree. 

“This tree is…” clearly none of the words he was thinking of couldn’t fit, as he fell into a smile, grinning from ear to ear as he shuffled up to the tree, taking a better look at it. 

His brows furrowed, running his fingers over a small envelope stuck to the tree. He flipped it over only to find that it’s sealed with a small stamp as he ran his fingers over it. He inspected a few more, finding the same thing continuously. 

“What’re all these cards for?” he turned to you, holding up a card.

“It’s a wishing tree!” walking over to him, gazing at the tree. “You write your wish on a card and seal it, put it on the tree and it comes true!”

Knuckle’s eyes lit up again as he took note of the hundreds of cards all over the tree.

“Can...can I write one…?” he asked, his voice quiet.

“Of course, hun. That’s why I brought you here. I figured you’d get to make your wishes come true.” you smiled at him as he stared at you. 

He blinked and immediately flushed red, hiding his face in his scarf.

Walking over to a small table, he took a card as you followed suit, taking a card as well. You scribbled something, thinking about a good wish. Finishing, you looked at Knuckle, his face deep in concentration as he slowly wrote out a wish, clearly taking this to heart. Handing it to the person at the table, they sealed it and stuck it to the tree, waving to you as you walked off. 

Stopping in front of the tree again, you nudged Knuckle.

“Sooooooo what’d ya wriiiiiiiiiiite?” poking at his side.

“I can’t tell you that!” he pouted, squinting at you, “It won’t come true if I tell you!”

“Can I get a hint?” asking again, batting your lashes at him.

“No way!” turning his nose up. However, he glanced at you, pursed his lips and sighed. 

“You’re on the card…” he muttered, seeming upset with himself for giving you a hint.

“You wished...for me?

“No! Well, sort of, but that’s all you’re getting.” his resolve is strong, looking at you. 

You stopped and stood in front of him, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips, feeling him turn to putty in your arms. A soft kiss, gentle and warm, with a hint of sweet peppermint from earlier. You attempted to pull away but he pulled you back, his lips feeling desperate, wanting you closer for longer. 

You finally pulled away, letting your gaze slowly meet his, his eyes hazy and soft. 

He spoke first, his voice low and sweet.

“That Christmas feeling...you told me about…”

“Yeah?” you nodded slowly, wondering if he truly got it.

“Yeah.” he nodded in return, making you smile.

You took his hand, continuing your adventure through the city.

And it’s this feeling, the feeling of your heart swelling, full of an emotion that really has no name. A feeling of Christmas that’s universal in the hearts of children and those with love left to give. The feeling when the city’s lights look particularly beautiful, dazzlingly bright, only second to the sparkle of pure awe in the eyes of those that still dream. The feeling of waking up late one morning, seeing the world graced by fresh snow, sparkling in the late morning sun and being unable to keep a smile from gracing your face, overwhelmed with excitement in anticipation to play in the snow with friends. Maybe it’s the feeling of happiness in baking cookies with those you love, stealing bits of cookie dough, only to be far more enraptured by fresh baked cookies and hot chocolate, adding just a bit too many marshmallows to the mix. It could be singing your favorite Christmas songs with friends, letting them take you back to Christmas’ that have passed, memories nearly long forgotten, only to bubble to the surface listening to overplayed Christmas classics. Is it the scents of Christmas? Peppermint and myrrh, frankincense or the smell of sugar cookies and cozy, sweet aromas floating around, making you hungry yet in need of a good nap. Everyone will say the feeling of Christmas, the emotions of it all is caused by something different, and there is no universal correct answer, only the agreement that the feeling exists and that it’s powerful. The feeling of dreamers, believers and those with hearts full of hope, hope that refuses to die. The feeling of being young, innocent and full of life, still awestruck by the wonders of the world that are so large and staggering to those who can still believe in magic. And sure, the feeling fades away after New Years, the realities of life slowly crawling back, shaking the feeling of hope and wonder from hearts that truly need it. Maybe that’s a blessing of the Christmas season, reminding people that hope and wonder and love still exists. 

[hunterxhunterimagines]

Imagine a date with Knuckle:

- he is secretly such a romantic guy, even though he does his best to disguise it by being loud and a little annoying. When he asks you on a date, for once he's pretty shy and quiet so you know he's serious

- he loves dates that involve being active, like going for a hike or ice skating. He also shyly suggests that some time, the two of you could go and watch the dogs in the park together

- he grabs your hand straight away and threads his fingers between yours, deliberately looking away so you can't see him blushing. His hand is big and warm and his swings your arms playfully because he's so happy

- after the main part of the date the two of you go into a little cafe to get hot chocolates. He insists on buying you a cookie which you break in half to share. He gets a little hot chocolate mustache and he looks completely adorable

- as he takes you home, he holds your hand again and kisses your cheek. When you ask when the second date is going to be he actually jumps and spins around because he's so happy!

I HAD NO IDEA THAT THERE WAS A LEADUP CLOSING CARD TO THIS ONE I MADE A POST ABOUT HERE and AHHHH!!! They all look so cute 😭😭😭 I need more chibi Knuckle in my life and I think about this happening in canon. Like Ikalgo just comes back from almost dying and Killua’s like “hey we need you to complete our star of friendship” in the middle of them trying to find fight and kill the king lmao. Who’s idea was it to even do the star in the first place? It was probably Knuckle look how proud he is ♡

This was the last gif I saved of him. Cause like. Knuckle + puppy = depression b-gone the puppy is so excited to see him 😭💕 and the fact that it REFUSED TO LEAVE HIM and CLIMBED IN BED WITH HIM why can’t that be me big strong scary man holding tiny puppy and crying he’s so soft!! I also just love how he’s so expressive with his faces and animations cause it just shows so much character 💗 like when he’s surprised his eyes are drawn so wide and his mouth gets kinda pouty. And he’s animated with some really silly faces and that just adds so much depth to his character when he lets up his hard delinquent personality. UGH I love finding the little animated details in characters that show their personalities ❤️

🔥🐓Magicians Red: What’s something about your F/O that makes you feel all warm inside?

I just love how caring Knuckle is. He’s brash and aggressive and has a really short fuse but he cares about everyone and everything around him, even when he’s tsundere and says he doesn’t. Ever since the first time we meet him he picks up after a random dog saying to “keep our parks clean” and just him VOLUNTEERING to be on the extermination team to learn about the chimera ants and not just outright kill them. Then to him essentially mentoring these two kids for a month to prepare them for the NGL, which he didn’t have to do. Then helping find Kite for Gon, he could’ve easily said no and just focused on his mission, but he promised Gon he’d find Kite, and kept his word. THEN befriending Meleoron despite him having major doubts about Knuckle at first just cause of how aggressive he looked then changing his mind cause he figured out Knuckle was feeding and caring for the stray dogs he found abandoned. THEN risking and essentially thwarting the mission and almost his life for Shoot and Morel and THEN taking such gentle care of Komugi as a hostage when she went with the extermination team, since he was against it. Just. The level of care and compassion in this man’s character is beyond belief despite his aggression and intimidating nature as a fighter. Like he’ll break femurs for days but he’ll never break anyone’s heart ❤️ I like to think I’m a bit like that too, I’ve been told I’m extremely compassionate. I really want a partner like that. Truly. It’s so hard to find that kind of selfless compassion in reality so I’m so glad I can find it in Knuckle. Makes me soft even though he isn’t real 💕

🐉🍒Heirophant Green: How long has your relationship with your F/O been?

Oooh this is an interesting one to answer. Cause it honestly changes based on what scenario I do for Rae and Knuckle. They started having feelings for each other after they and the others all meet up at the NGL. Rae helped Knuckle with his little animal orphanage and they spent a lot of time bonding and getting to know each other from it. It’s clear to the other (mainly Rae lol) that they like each other by the end of the Chimera Ant Arc, but as much as they want to confess and just sink into each other , they both don’t want their personal feelings to get involved with their mission. They’re both very emotionally driven, and they knew that they would impulsively go out of their way to help each other at all cost, so as much as it pained them, and Rae made the final call that the two of them should not be paired up together for the final fight. Knuckle got upset at first, intensely arguing and trying to justify with Rae that they could work together, he’ll protect her and they’re strong and work as a single mind together. He was actually just really scared of losing her, he wanted to have her in his sight making sure she came out of this alive. He couldn’t bare to think of how He’d react if he had to hear a delivered message of what had happened to her, He’d rather just be with her and have her there in his arms and sight if it came down to their final moments. He was crying through his arguing when he brought it up. Rae was firm though, even though it hurt her so bad to see him like that, and softly told him that that was exactly why they couldn’t, while wiping his tears away. Rae just wanted to come out with it and just tell him how much he meant to her, how she saw him as more than just her very good friend, and honestly, Knuckle did too. The looks and closeness they shared in that moment did the talking for them. But they both knew that once it was out, they wouldn’t be as focused, so Rae just told him to stay alive, telling him that they had some unfinished things to talk about, and would when they saw each other again. they didn’t see each other for a while actually after the chimera ant stuff because Rae was badly injured and had to recover, but Knuckle accidentally confessed his feelings to her a month or so after a new chairman had been picked and others were celebrating her and Shoot’s full recovery. in some scenarios, they had only been dating for a few weeks or months, but in a lot of them they’re already in an established relationship, I’d say maybe a year or two after his confession. There are also some a few years down their road, i feel like they would take a break from being hunters for a little bit, just to enjoy some time and life for themselves. But I feel like Rae and Knuckle would wait quite a while to get married, though they would already act and go through life like a married couple. they loved the idea of marrying each other, but they knew their lives as Hunters may interfere with that. It’s not like they have eyes for someone else, or can’t see them in a relationship together down the road. They do. Just maybe putting the label of marriage on the back burner for now. so even though they are exclusive, and they are gonna spend the rest of their lives together, they feel like marriage puts a bunch of pressure on them to settle, Which neither of them want to do for a while. But they have their own vows and ways to celebrate and look back on how far they’ve come in their relationship. They agreed that when they’ve retired as Hunters, then the real thought of settling down and getting married would come up. But for now they’re just happy to be together going through their life adventure with the other by their side regardless of rings or labels. But who knows when and how the tides of life change for them, it always happens to in the most unexpected ways. They’ll take it on together, though ♡

💀💨 Justice: If someone ever wronged/hurt you, how would your F/O react?

Oh GOD. If Knuckle figured out someone hurt Rae, or made her deeply upset he would make sure they woke with stitches and maybe something missing at the very LEAST. Knuckle is very protective of anything or one who is important to him, and Rae is at the top of list for sure. If he was willing to throw away an important mission for the sake of his teammate’s life, he wouldn’t even bat an eye if he had to watch the universe crumble for Rae’s own. She was just too important to him. He’d let his emotions defensively get the better of him, and it would take a LOT of counseling from his mentors and peers to reason with him if it got to that point, if at all. It didn’t take much for him to reach that point honestly, even if he simply saw someone make Rae cry, there was a potential that they could leave with a few broken bones….if they could even walk. Rae would take his face red from anger in her hands, and talk to him, reassure him that she was alright and that he sure showed them, just to get him to calm down. He always calms down faster when she’s with him, letting him come to his senses. He would, quelling his anger and focusing more on comforting her, which calmed him down even more. In more extreme cases, like how Rae was severely injured after the chimera ant stuff, he would have to be physically held back and subdued by Morel to keep him from seeking his vengeance on whoever hurt his love. He would fight all sense of reason, screaming and cursing just feeling the need to destroy something. If he truly does go rage mode there’s nothing stopping him. But he hadn’t gotten to that point in a long time thanks to Morel hammering some sense into him, telling him how Rae would feel if he went off and did something like that, would hurting something heal her truly, remember the times when he did go rage mode and how miserable he felt afterwards, just let time and doctors heal her. He eventually just broke down in his Master’s arms, crying to him about how much he wanted to see Rae get better, how much it hurt him to see her go though pain like that even though she’s so strong. How he just didn’t want anyone to take away the light she brought into his life. Morel would just hold him as he spilled his tears and emotions, seeing how he’s never acted like that when it came to someone else. He really did love her. and Morel being the incredible teacher and father figure to him would just let him cry it out, giving him words of reassurance that she’ll be alright.

Summer Festival

Knuckle 

- Picks you up with the trademark delinquent get up - Doesn’t let you pay for ANYTHING, especially food - Has a huge sweet tooth and eats a ton of candy apples/cotton candy - Can’t stop beaming at you in your traditional yukata and compliments you constantly - Gets flustered when he asks to take a commemorative picture with you, but his grin is nearly falling off his face it’s so big - Says he’ll get you any prize you want, but forgets his strength and nearly takes out the entire stall like a dumbass.  - Pets EVERY CAT he sees on this occasion  - DEF tries to get a good smell of your cologne / perfume on the DL - Bragging about his hot date the whole time on his next mission - Walks you home in the dark, acting like he’s trying to keep you safe but wants to just spend more time with you.  Shoot  - Also wears yukata - Quiet, flustered, and sweaty, but brought water bottles for both of you. They’re ice cold, so he definitely thought ahead about it.  - Gets you a traditional mask or hair ornament.  - He was secretly hoping you’d wear yukata, but could never really get the courage to ask you to wear one. So he’s thrilled.  - He found a quiet place by a small late ahead of time to watch the fireworks, one where there is a lot of fireflies. He’s not great with the crowds. - Tries to concentrate on the festival, but his internal monologue is just ‘cute cute cute cute cute cute’ at you.  - For craftsy dates that made their own accessories, he’s so blown away by your talent and skillful hands. You can try to say how it’s messy in the back or whatever, but he’s just in awe since he’s not good at making things.  - Favorite item is the soysauce rice crackers / senbei. Has Old Man tastes in snacks.  - Secretly wants a photo of you the whole time but can’t work up the courage to ask for one. When he leaves you to use the restroom, you use his phone to take one. He’s so embarrassed when he finds out, but saves is right away.

The x Hunter x Four, 1999! ❤

An alternate version of this one. I've been working on it since I started the 2011 one, but I finally finished it. Just had fun with it and ended up liking it a lot! Really loved how it turned out! 💓 The 90s Hunter x Hunter is a treasure. It had beautiful colors and animation. The only bad thing about it is that we missed out on 90s Shoot and Knuckle, sadly. I should do some screen redraws with them and their manga colors...

Hiiii ;u;!!! Can I request a headcanon about how does the bae Knuckle acts when he likes someone? Thank you :D !!!

hope this is okay friend!

Knuckle

•He gets a confidence boost and then a confidence deficiency. He lets his ego get the better of him, then he realizes that might not be working, so he gets all disappointed and starts sulking. He just can’t find a balance that’s going to get his crush’s attention. He doesn’t know how to act normal 

•He might even turn a little standoffish, refusing to damage his pride any longer by trying to impress them and failing. Because let’s be real, if even his first attempt at flirting with his crush doesn’t work, he feels like it’s the end of the world. He’s probably not going to try again immediately because he’s so reluctant after the first attempt. Poor dude, he’s actually a little depressed for while if he likes them that much

•However, if he hasn’t attempted flirting yet, and he’s trying to act as chill as possible—he’s still a little flustered, but not as much of a mess. He’s very sweet and kind, always making sure to make a good impression. He knows he has a bit of an attitude, so he keeps a lid on that as much as possible

•He’ll awkwardly follow his crush around the entire day if possible. Not stalking, just being at their side if the opportunity allows. Hopefully they’re at least acquainted, so it’s easier for him to see them and hang out with them

•Knuckle is very defensive of them as well. Like an attack dog waiting for someone to bother them or be rude to them. He doesn’t let anyone mess with them, he’s just very protective, almost to a fault

•Remembers little things about them. Sometimes it’s almost… creepy. But sweet, in his own way. Like how many ice cubes they like in their drink or how many freckles are on their left cheek. He just spends so much time admiring them that he can’t help but memorize the little things about them
