Pls can u do ging x reader and reader is gon mother?

THANK YOU - ging x reader

a/n: this prompt is almost two years old. i apologize for the wait and hope it was worth it. warnings: spoilers (chimera ant and election arcs)

summary: after hearing about gon's injuries, you rush to swardani city to see your son, and confront his father. word count: 1,133

the air conditioning system hummed loudly as you sat across from ging in an empty meeting room inside the headquarters of the hunter's association.

there was a feeling of uneasiness, and anxiety that plagued you. it had been years since you had last seen ging. thirteen to be exact.

you had made a heartbreaking departure from him and your son many years ago, due to circumstances outside your control. and now you sat here, heartbroken, looking the man you once loved unconditionally in the eye, now filled with anger and hatred.

how. how could he have let this happen? how could he be so irresponsible? how could he be so immature?

your son, gon, was currently in the hospital. not only was he beyond recognition, he was also in critical condition, facing death every moment with no one having any clue how to bring him back. the moment you heard, you left everything behind and rushed to swardani city, fearful that your son may die before you ever got to tell him how sorry you were for leaving.

you had spent almost every waking hour at his bedside, sobbing. sobbing so hard you thought your lungs would collapse, so hard that you had to gasp for air. crying until you were numb, and the hospital staff gingerly escorted you out of his room, explaining to you that visiting hours had came to a close.

"you have a hell of alot to explain to me, ging." your eyes were red and puffy, with dark circles underneath. it was clear that sleep wasn't something you had been familiar with the past few weeks.

"i dont know what there is to explain. i don't know much more than you do, and frankly i don't appreciate you pinning this on me." he hissed, clearly bitter. after so many years the only time you had made an effort to see him was now. and it was to scold him.

"how could you leave him?" you asked, your voice shaking, the tears began to well in your eyes, burning them.

"hey, i could ask you the exact same thing." ging took no time to remind you that you had also left.

"i left with confidence you would take care of him-"

"but you left so really what right do you have to turn up after all this time and ride my ass about things outside of my control!?" he snapped, his brown eyes were fixed on you, burning a hole right through you.

"at least i came to visit him, that's more than you're doing asshole!"

"did it ever occur to you that i CAN'T go see him." ging replied curtly. he wasn't one to outwardly express emotions frequently, but you could tell something was different this time.

once more the room fell to silence, the air conditioning unit the only sound to be heard, were you not in the middle of the concrete jungle that is swardani city, you likely would have heard crickets chirping.

"what do you mean you can't?? of course you can he's practically right next door!" you angirly hissed back in response. how dare he insinuate hes too busy to see his own son who was barely holding on to life as you spoke.

"that's not what i mean and you know it." his expressionless facade was fading, you were cracking through the mask he paraded around with to look tough. you were seeing a part of him nobody had ever seen, except for you.

you stayed silent, eyes trailing down to the faux wood grain table. waiting for him to elaborate. you knew from past experience this could take a matter of minutes or more. but you waited nonetheless for him to finally speak.

"i don't think you understand the guilt i harbor, ___." ging finally spoke up, his eyes locked onto yours the moment you looked up, not allowing you to escape his gaze of honesty.

"mito knew. . . she knew I'd always be the same guy. she filed for custody of gon, she said my line of work was too dangerous, and that i wouldn't be able to take care of him properly. and to my surprise, I sit here today and admit, she was right." ging spoke, his voice remained level headed and cool, he didnt allow the emotions to play part in how he spoke.

he took a deep breath in, eyes flickering to the ceiling. "despite all the training and trials i laid out meticulously for him to get stronger..." he trailed off.

"i don't know what i would do differently... had he been with me would this still have happened or worse? or would it have been avoided all together." he rambled on a bit longer.

"why didn't you just say all this before, ging?" you asked, brows furrowing, tears still falling softly from your cheeks.

"psh.." he made a face, one lined with disgust, a rare change in emotion.

"ging. it's not your fault."

his eyes darted back to you. "since when do you have a sudden change in opinion?"

"since we've made it to this point in the conversation. " you replied curtly, following suit of his answers prior.

ging mumbled under his breath. "from what i hear he's a lot like you. he's got your optimism." ging responded blankly, a pang sent through your heart as you were brought back into the blinding reality of why you were there with him.

"are you going to do anything to address the issue at hand amongst the zodiacs?" you questioned, checking the clock in the wall. the others could burst in at any moment. "you know its causing a lot of pressure on their backs during the election. many of the hunters are well aquainted with or know of gon, they expect answers and they expect you visiting him.

"it's none of their business to be frank. that's the problem with this whole association, ___. everyone believes theyre entitled to a slice of other people's lives. especially pariston. i'm sick of him being up my ass about this whole situation. " ging rambled on and on about his hatred for pariston but love for the hunt for a few solid minutes before switching back to the current topic.

"look, what i mean to say is, they can spread all the rumors they want, i'm not changing. and i'm not inviting them into our life."

oh ging... still as shy and stubborn as he ever was.

"wait. ___, before you go..." ging spoke, his face flushing and his nerves beginning to tie his vocabulary up in knots. "thank you." he said loudly, though the distance between you and him was nowhere near needing of such volume.

the air conditioning finally kicked off, leaving you in a room of dead air and space. you checked the clock again, the rythmic ticking began to inidicate the nearing of the next hour, when ging would be expected to meet with other zodiacs.

you stood up, pushing the chair you had been previously occupying in and gathering your personal effects. "i suppose it should be time for me to drop back in at the hospital. i hate being away for so long." you turned, reafhing for the door.

"for what.....?"

"coming back."

okay but what if all that broken goated nen ability aboard the black whale not only causes the ship to explode and sink, but!!!! it creates an unbelievably massive tsunami that has multiple impacts:

1. ging, pari, & their expedition crew, who are also likely at sea, now have to contend with this bullshit. in my head, this is how we get to Finally learn some of their nen abilities. same with the zodiac, if they haven't used their abilities before the ship goes down. they're only going to show their hands if shit is REAL dire, which it would be here during the fallout and resulting battle (point 5)

2. the waves are gonna hit land pretty much on every continent. this is when we're gonna get the bbies looped back in!!! gon will have to defend whale island, and kiki & allunanika defend....wherever tf they are...and this seismic event will get them back in touch bc it's a global catastrophe

3. given the above two points, it's likely there will be a HUGE distress call to save others from the remnants of the ship, which gon, killua, allunanika will do

4. if this happens, illumi will be reunited with killua and allunanika, which is what he very much wants to have happen for his Plan

5. the ship going down likely wont impact the big players bc of the whole broken goated thing. so i can see a large battle playing out between a. the remaining princes vs ging/pari's team, which beyond will obviously support. and b. the zodiacs vs morena and her crew, which i can see illu joining with killua and alluka under his control. this battle could go down on the Fake DC

To the private office of the Ex Vice-Chairman, please note that I, Pariston Hill, am aghast, [and just a little intrigued], with the Hunter Association’s decision to run a new Hunter popularity vote without my knowledge (or input!).

Please also note that I fear dear Cheadle, that insufferable new Chairman, is doing far too much to rock the boat.

Rumors have made their rounds that the Zodiacs still instated will be sneaking their way to the top 10, and quite frankly, I can't allow that. As someone who's always hungry for the spotlight, I can't help but let a worry creep into my mental fortress – what if I'm not at the glorious top?

I can't let that happen, can I?

As the most intellectual and integral part of the Hunter Association, even with my absence, it goes without saying that the Hill name shall covet the top spot. I do have a competitive spirit after all, and it would warm my heart to see the look on the faces of the other Zodiacs once they know that their status means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I'll need to use something more than just charm to win this one, something more to tilt the scales in my favor. That's where the brilliance of deception comes in. What better way to elevate myself than to bring a few others down – subtly, of course?

It's a rat's prerogative, afterall, to do what he must to come in first.

So I've decided!

I, Pariston Hill, will release a scandalous magazine onto the scene. Oh, the intricacies of the art of manipulation! Planting seeds of doubt, sowing whispers of controversy, adding to the ever growing rumor mill – all in a day's work for someone like me! I'll tarnish reputations without appearing too direct, like a phantom orchestrating chaos from the shadows. I'll employ Cutie Beauty as my Editor, and hire Hunters to collect only the most jaw dropping secrets.

A little controversy never hurt anyone - well...not too badly.

So, as I embark on this clandestine mission, I'll play the political game and prepare myself for a flawless victory! I'll spread my influence and secure my spot on the throne as the most popular Hunter in the world!

The name of this Gossip Magazine will be made public knowledge soon, but for now be sure it'll be all about me!

Now with the dates determined, everything can be set in motion.

Call it: The Rat Race
