#leorio ogling

[xyliane]

Candy Machine Gun by Haley bonar, the lyric "your beauty pulls my bones into the ground" the pairing is mito and leorio :D

notes: yeah this uh. didn’t do much with the ACTUAL lyrics but think more about the theme of the thing? yeah that’s my excuse, sorry. (mitorio, let’s say…5 years into the future, 1000 words, blood and knife wounds)

music lyric prompts!

—

The towel is almost completely bled through by the time Leorio opens his apartment door. Mito knows it’s not his fault he takes so long, that he’s even here right now while she and Gon are on vacation is something of a miracle—admittedly, the sort of miracle Gon seems to pull out of his backpack on a regular basis, and the sort of miracle that comes from weeks of planning and endless emails and messages, coordinated to the point that Gon managed to rent an apartment in Leorio’s building for a whole week. But Gon’s out with Killua, and Mito’s bleeding all over Leorio’s doorstep.

The apartment light flickers on half a moment before the door opens, revealing a tired Leorio blinking down at her from behind his glasses. A bleary-eyed, very incredibly shirtless Leorio, who apparently only sleeps in shorts on days when his close friend’s mother shows up to his front door. She’s never given thought, really, to what he might look like under his shirtsleeves, how well built his chest is beneath tan skin, the way that dark hair trails across unfairly chiseled abs and down—

Okay, she may have given it some thought.

“Shit, Miss Mito, your arm!”

She blinks and tries to give him a shaky smile. “I could use a little help.”

He ushers her in, grabbing a large bowl and a med kit on the way to the kitchen. It hurts like hell, even as she’s sat into a high backed kitchen chair and forced to lay her arm on the table. “It’s not too bad,” she insists.

“How long’s it been bleeding?” he asks, soaking his hands in clean water before scrubbing for what feels like months. Mito entertains herself by watching his shoulders flex and tense, a small smile on her lips. It might be the blood loss.

“Miss Mito?”

She shakes her head. “Uh, about fifteen minutes, maybe? I think it’s mostly stopped. I had to take the stairs, the lift’s broken…”

He finishes scrubbing and turns back to her, bottle of saline in one hand and another fresh towel in the other. “Let me take a look,” he says, and gently peels back the towel. Mito hisses as the fabric peels back from her skin, blood coagulated and sticky but no longer flowing freely from the wound. From the relieved sigh Leorio lets out, Mito takes this as a good sign.

“Just a long laceration, it looks like,” he says. “It’s pretty deep, but I don’t think you struck bone.”

She frowns. “I’ve done that before. Don’t have any plans to do it again anytime soon.”

Leorio snorts, a terribly undignified noise from someone who Mito’s almost exclusively seen in suit jackets. Not that he’s ever been dignified, or is wearing much of anything at the moment. “I’m going to flush it, then heal it back up as best I can. How on earth did you do this to yourself?”

Heat prickles across Mito’s ears, and not for the first time in her life she is incredibly thankful for her darkened skin. Leorio carefully begins pouring clear liquid across the wound, a glowing hand pulsing against her skin. It looks almost like how Killua does when he meditates, although Leorio’s is an odd silvery gold glove wrapped only around his hand. How odd. “I was making dinner—”

“At midnight?”

The prickling grows to a feeling more like needles being stabbed into her ears. “I’m on vacation,” she says. He chuckles, but doesn’t press. “And since the boys are out tonight, I thought I’d practice some of the tricks I do at the bar. Flipping bottles, throwing knives…”

Both of Leorio’s eyebrows slowly rise. She can make out how his eyes darken slightly, the sharp edges of his jaw emphasized by the rough stubble darkening his cheeks. “Knives?” he asks, and his voice is low and pools at the bottom of Mito’s stomach like spiced rum.

She swallows.

The bottle of saline runs out, and Leorio seems to shake himself. “So uh. You cut yourself while…throwing knives? For practice? In an apartment downstairs?” he asks, carefully drying around the wound. It doesn’t look so bad, especially with Leorio’s light-gloved hand still pulsing at the reddened skin.

“Oh, no. I’m not that much of an idiot,” she says. At Leorio’s incredulous look, she admits, “I have, in the past, cut myself while throwing knives. Usually from some idiot trying to throw knives at me. I own a bar in a port town, I have to know how to defend myself somehow when I can’t use whatever it is you Hunters do.”

“So you took up knife throwing.”

“And knife sharpening. Sailors who get stabbed cleanly tend to pay their bills more regularly.”

A warm chuckle rises out of his lips. “I thought Gon was the reckless one.”

Mito sighs, blowing her loose hair out of her eyes. “He has to get it from somewhere. I can’t say he got any of my good habits.”

Leorio pauses his soft movements against her arm and looks up, a small smile on his lips. “Having met Ging, the only thing Gon got from him are his looks and the ability to make friends anywhere. Everything else—his big heart, his stubbornness… That’s all yours.”

She meets his smile with one of her own. “Thanks, Dr. Paladiknight.”

“Leorio. Please. If I’m dealing with you at a horrible hour while wearing only pajamas, I’m Leorio.” He glances down, as though belatedly realizing he’s forgotten about his shirt, and turns a delightful shade of pink all the way from his forehead to his collarbone. “Or not wearing anything. Shit. I uh.”

“Then drop the miss. I’m not that much older than you. And I bled all over your abs.”

He laughs, and Mito feels her heart flip over at the sound. He laughs like someone who’s been through too much, but who laughs because he’s alive, because it makes the world around him come to life. “Mito, then. Although I have to say, I like your smile a lot more.”

Her grin widens.

Later, when he’s finished wrapping the wound and explaining how his nen works—and more and more, Mito wants to learn about how to manipulate her own aura, since she has no trouble seeing it already—Leorio glances back at the bloody towels scattered on his floor. “What did you do?” he asks.

She debates telling him it was the knife throwing for a moment too long before giving it up as a lost cause. “I was scrubbing the knives once the food was in the oven and it slipped,” she mutters. “Dropped the fish bones everywhere.”

“Any excuse to see me, right?” he says, and winces when she smacks him in the shoulder. Ging isn’t the one who taught Gon how to throw a punch, either.

could you do leorio with a trans male reader with dysphoria (sfw)

Of course!

x

-Leorio is very considerate when It comes to your feelings about your body. You guys will often find yourselves in bed with you having your eyes staring at the ceiling and Leorio being on his side, his arm holding his head up.

-Leorio would watch you lovingly and be fully entranced by your voice as he listens to all your rants, your feelings, random thoughts and anything else you want to let out. He would discuss these things with you and you honestly feel very comfortable opening up and just talking to him.

-Leorio will help you pick out a new name If you would like to have one, and you would never have to worry about him bringing up your dead name. He makes sure to introduce you as the name you feel most comfortable with which makes interactions with new people easier.

-Leorio is very respectful of your pronouns and he will definitely fight anyone who dares to try you. He’s takes you and your well being very seriously so whenever someone actively disrespects you, he’s going to throw hands without a second thought.

-It’s also important to mention that you are the highlight of his day. He loves falling on you once he comes home from work and If you wear cologne, he loves the smell of it and will snuggle deeper into you.

-He goes over what makes you comfortable and what doesn’t, especially when It comes to touching you. Boundaries are important to him in a relationship because he wants to make sure that you’re always comfortable in every situation.

-He would go with you to pick up testosterone if you want him to, and if you’re too nervous to inject it, Leorio will do it for you.

-Begs to wear matching ties with you. If he ever catches you wearing one of suits, his face will immediately light up and he will have such a proud smile on his face.

-He will support you through each step of your transitioning, and will always be by your side no matter what.

-Whenever your dysphoria becomes bad, he is always there for you. He comforts you and will even go as far as to plan a day to do things that you like to take your mind off of it.

-Helps you feel secure in your masculinity by doing things such as telling you that you’re handsome or ogling the muscles that you’re developing.

-Takes you to meet the gang and they instantly love you. Gon and Killua will see you as their older sibling and they would enjoy pulling pranks on you. Kurapika would adore you and he finds it very refreshing to have someone close to his age that’s not Leorio.

-In the end, they all accept you and Leorio wouldn’t be able to stop beaming with happiness at the thought of having you as his s/o.

Hi! I'm hope i'm in time for the disappointing match up. I'm an introvert. But I'm extremely competitive when it comes to most things. I'm really interested in science. I like to draw, even though I'm terrible at it. I'm a pretty open-minded person and I try to be helpful to everyone.

You’re going to be disappointed by...

Leorio.

When you meet Leorio, you’re turned off by his brashness, but then you get to see his heart of gold, and experience his caring side.  Lovely, right? WRONG! You discover that although his intentions are good, he’s also an impatient, loud, kind of rude man who pervs on every woman with vaguely visible cleavage.  You break up with him after you catch him ogling a hot waitress on one of your dates.  Disappointing because he really seemed like a nice dude.  Turns out wanting to help others isn’t enough to hide a massive perv streak.

Hunter x Hunter standout panel breakdown from volumes 1-3

I’ll say it a million times...Togashi is a master of his craft. I’m awestruck by his art and his writing. And even before things really kick off, Hunter is already better than most manga. 

Chapter 2

This is an interesting way to convey action, which Togashi uses a lot in his manga. Instead of devoting one panel to each perspective, he puts two perspectives in one panel. When I look at this, my eye immediately follows Kurapika, who is the one moving, while Leorio isn’t moving because his stance doesn’t change. Kurapika feels fast. At the same time though, if you chose to look at Leorio and Kurapika, standing at opposing sides, you can feel their face off. Brilliant. 

Chapter 5

In this panel, Togashi devotes one entire side of the page for the movement of the elevator. Because of the balance of black and white, your eye immediately moves quickly to find the elevator, almost giving you the sensation of feeling an elevator fall. The rest of the panels are minimal so your eye goes to where it needs to first, naturally. 

Chapter 7, volume insert only

While this isn’t a “standout panel” per-say, I have to put Togashi’s thanks to his wife for helping him with his color pages, and his adorable drawing of Sailor Moon in tribute to her.

Chapter 08

Anytime Togashi draw’s Hisoka’s cards in action will be a standout panel. That’s because he perfectly balances his black and whites to make them pop against the movement lines. His minimalist approach gives the cards weight, and that split second effect before the cards cause blood. 

Chapter 15

I love this page so much. The trap door is tripped causing Tonpa to fall out. Togashi uses an unconventional way of showing movement, by using movement lines exclusively inside a panel box with a sound effect, but putting Tonpa outside the panel box. His positioning on the page couples with the movement lines is meant to show you he fell straight down, and the moment he does, the other’s reactions to his presence can be seen at the same time we’re seeing Tonpa, almost as if we’re in the room with our protagonists. 

Chapter 19

Hisoka’s opponent in the prison which has been effectively dismembered. The character detail and use of different hatching methods gives you a beautiful black and white balance that catches your eye and makes you linger before moving on.

Chapter 21

This panel is noteworthy for a couple of reasons. The first being the hashing on Killua to give him a sense of fast movement, while the other person is completely still. Notice how the blood moves around Killua. It’s a cleaver way of showing how his arm moved without movement lines. This panel is also noteworthy because it has no panel borders, something Togashi does a lot. You’ll notice Togashi is a HUGE fan of breaking out of boxes, and in my opinion, this is a great metaphor for the type of person he is, as well as how he approaches story. 

Two pages later and we’ve got this beauty. Not only is the heart drawn with lots of detail and hashing, but notice how he uses black on this page. Everything his white except for Killua’s panel. Effectively, this makes your eye zoom in on his face (think about the sound effect when the camera zooms in on a character) and the panel is effectively giving you the same thing. The detailing on Killua’s face enhances his sinister vibe, and the lack of backgrounds allow your eye to focus on the weight of the character acting.

Chapter 26

What’s special about this page is how Togashi handles background detail. In the top panels the background is purposefully muted so your attention is focused on Killua and what he’s saying. It’s only when the shot is zoomed out that Togashi allows Killua to be lost in the dense forest. There’s a lot going on here, and whoever is hiding is somewhere in that. You’ve also got Togashi breaking panel boxes again, but just with speech bubbles. He can’t help himself. 

And that wraps up my first installment of my Hunter breakdowns! Since I can’t help myself and ogle over Togashi’s art, I thought I might as well talk about it on the internet, haha.
