Hunter x Hunter Drabbles

Dress Covered In Dew (Killugon)

"Killua!!"

The albino looks up from the ground, clenching a skirt that's too long on him. His body's too thin for this one. It's a soft pink fabric that compliments his eyes, but the proportions of the dress are awkward on him. Too big on his smaller build. But he can't find anything that's not too short in the right size.

His sister is running up to him to show off her own dress. It's a beautiful shade of coral and as she twirls, the skirt flows around her, fabric dancing in the light. The bodice fits her perfectly, the skirt is also a perfect length on her.

Killua smiles softly at her, "you look beautiful, Luka."

"Thank you!" She runs up to embrace him and nearly trips on the skirt. "Skirts giving you trouble again, huh?"

"Yeah...Maybe I just wasn't built for dresses." As much as he actually wanted to wear one and feel pretty, maybe the world had other plans in mind.

Alluka furrows her brows and pouts thoughtfully. "Maybe you don't need a one-piece dress. We can find you a skirt and a blouse you like, would that be okay?"

"That might be as close as we get. Sure, why not?" He'll try anything, really.

"Are you excited?"

Killua blushes. There's a reason they're trying on dresses. They had been invited to a gala, every Hunter. And they could bring a plus one. Alluka was his.

"Well?"

"I— I guess.."

"Guess?? You've been talking about it for the past _week_"

"I know! I just...I dunno."

"I know the only reason you're going is because you think Gon might be there."

"Shhhh, don't say it so loud!!" If anything, Killua's the one raising his voice. Alluka stares at him, crossing her arms with a huff.

Killua sighs, placing the dress back in its rack after he finishes changing back into his jeans and shirt. "It _has_ been three years since I saw him..."

"You're wearing a dress because you wanna impress himmmmm."

"I do not!" Of course, Killua knows Alluka's right, she usually is. Still. He can be in denial for a little bit longer.

Eventually, they do find something for him to wear. A spaghetti strap wine-red shirt, made of a velvety silk; and a matching red skirt in several puffy layers, with fluffy cotton trim in a deep purple. This time it reaches just above his knees, the perfect length.

"I look amazing!"

"You do!"

They giggle together. It's not long before the day of the gala comes and Alluka is off to make friends quickly after they enter. Killua keeps checking his makeup, he decided to wear a light layer. Just his usual eyeliner and a soft pink lipgloss. Peach flavored. Because that's the one Alluka had on hand.

He lets her go off on her own and his eyes drift across the crowd. He recognizes a lot of people, even spotting Kite with Colt. Must have brought the ant as his plus one. But there's no sign of Gon...or Ging for that matter, he's less surprised about that though.

The albino sighs, silver heels clicking on the ground as he makes his way to a table with sweets. He's going to sulk here and eat sweets. He barely gets the chance to finish his first cupcake when his shoulder is tapped. His head snaps over and he has to look up a little now, Gon's bright eyes are shining down at him.

"GON-" It's a little muffled because he didn't actually swallow the cupcake he had in his mouth yet, and crumbs fall out of his mouth, making him choke slightly. He takes a moment to regain his composure while Gon laughs. "D-don't laugh at me, stupid!"

"Sorry. I couldn't help it. You just looked really cute."

Killua freezes at that, warmth spreads across his face and his eyes widen. His first instinct is to throw the rest of his cupcake at Gon in a panic. "S-stupid!"

Gon dodges the cupcake and giggles. "I know, I know. You look really nice, skirts suit you."

Somehow Killua's face gets darker. "I'm- you- look— you— I- you are— ok."

Gon raises a brow at Killua's attempt at forming some sort of sentence he can't even begin to decipher, but he can't stop smiling. "It's been a while..."

"Y-yeah..." Killua finally realizes he's been staring the entire time and looks away, shoving a random treat in his mouth. Anxious eating.

Gon looks around. "Do you wanna go out-"

"WHAT"

"-side with me..."

"...oh-" Killua face palms.

"Killua, are you okay?"

"I'M FINE. And....yeah. Sure. Outside sounds nice."

"Great!"

Without bothering to ask, Gon interlocks their arms, making Killua flush bright red...again. You'd think after three years of being apart his feelings might have lessened, but they seem to only have enhanced with longing and time. Killua looks up at Gon. "You grew taller."

"You stayed 5'6."

"Shut up-"

"It's cute."

"SHUT. UP." Gon is still just as blunt as ever and Killua's heart can't handle that even now. He looks forward and plays with the hem of his skirt as they head out. He blinks. "It's been raining."

"Seems that way!"

"Damn, these shoes are brand new."

Gon hums and takes his arm away from Killua's. Killua bites back a protest and suddenly he's looking up at Gon. It takes him a moment to realize he's being carried bridal style, and he blushes down to his shoulders this time.

Gon smiles down at him, and Killua can't tell what he's thinking. He never can with Gon. "You won't get wet now."

Killua doesn't say anything. What does he do- His heart feels like it's about to beat out of his chest. Cliché. He pushes Gon's face away and in his panic rolls out of his arms, landing right in the grass.

"Killua! Are you okay!?" Gon immediately goes to help him up.

Killua's dress is covered in grass and dew now. "S-sorry I just-" He doesn't get to finish his sentence because suddenly Gon's lips are on his and his brain short circuits. It's admittedly a bit awkward, since Killua's more or less frozen in place.
"W-what was that?"

"A kiss— It helps make people feel better after they get hurt!"

"On the lips?"

"Well....not necessarily. I just wanted to do that because it's you-"

"What-"

For the first time since Killua knows Gon, Gon blushes and looks away from him. It's kind of hard to tell because Gon's skin is darker, but it's there. "I just mean...I like you a lot, Killua. I know it's been three years but I saw you in that dress and I-"

"Gon....can we kiss again-"

Gon looks at him and smiles. "Yeah, of course." And this time, Killua kisses back.
