Ever since Killua was young, his mother and father didn't get along. They would yell, and fight, and yell some more. He tried his best to shield Alluka from the worst of it, but that meant that he heard every word. While he was covering her ears, he...
Killua was back at aunt mito's house, he'd been discharged late last night so they just came home and crashed. The next morning he watched as Gon and aunt mito set up the recording studio area in a spare room. He offered to help but was 'excused' after a few minutes because he was already getting tired. Woah... he had used some of his own funds to afford the stuff they put in, but aunt mito insisted that she pay for some of it. Killua didn't really mind, he just wanted them to have an easier time. What use is all that money he has if he doesn't use it? About 30 minutes later the room came together, and he smiled.

(Ignore the piano and instruments, it just has a mic and the speaker)
Gon beamed, then set up a tripod with a camera on the end a few feet from the wall. It costed the most out of everything for some reason. "Killua! Go stand in the middle" He walked over, then stood in front of the microphone. It was on a stand, and it just looked like a regular microphone to him. He put a hand on the bar and looked at the camera. Gon's eyes glimmered and he snapped a picture, then squealed. "Ahh! I'm so excited!" He blinked. Well...I guess I am too. Aunt mito gave him a warm smile as well. "Should we start now or have lunch first?" he looked at Gon, but Gon was looking at him for the answer. My choice...
"Lunch" he mumbled. Aunt mito's cooking was the best he'd ever had, plus he wanted to not be hungry when he started. Gon grabbed his hand and dragged him downstairs like usual, he'd always thought it was odd but maybe it was normal, he'd never experienced friendship before. Aunt mito's cooking was always amazing, and usually she made something new every day. After they ate lunch they want back upstairs and Gon grabbed his phone. "Alright. There's a speaker here" He said, pointing to said speaker. Then he handed Killua his phone and earbuds. "Just listen to your music, and sing. If you click the play button for the speaker and the phone at the same time it'll work" Killua blinked. "Ok" the song he was going to sing was already chosen, the one on the speaker was just the instrumental version.
The song had been selected off his playlist so he already knew the words, it was called Russian Roulette. "Alright, I'm gonna start recording now" Gon said, then pressed a button on the tripod. The camera came on and he slipped the earbuds in, they were bluetooth so they were easily hidden behind his hair if he positioned it just right. Killua closed his eyes, then clicked play on both buttons. "Looked up across the smoke filled room, felt the tension build, this night's only just begun so, here we go~" He kept singing, gradually gaining more confidence and a bit more volume. "Bring out the guns~" He sang. "We love the danger~" His eyes opened as he was singing, a small smile working his way onto his face. "1 2 3 just pull the trigger. One bullet left, inside the chamber. Let us, play some, ru-u-u-u-ussain roulette~" Gon's eyes gleamed as he listened, it encouraged him.
Then there was the part with the gun, as the sound of a gun being cocked echoed through the music he went through motions with his hands, then raised to his head. He fired on cue, then tilted his head to the side a little and closed his eyes. There was a gap, he needed to do something there. He couldn't think of anything else to do, so he just let the music play for a while in an idle stance. "Let go of everything within~" he began again. "Release the inner peace, this game has only just begun, so, here we go~" he continued the song, going until the last note. He ended the song early actually, the rest was instrumental so he just ended it with repeating the gun motions, then firing. After he did that he looked right at Gon and gave him the stop signal as he paused the music.
Gon frowned slightly. "There's still more of the song though" Killua shook his head. "No more words. I think the song should end there" He mumbled. Gon shrugged, then aunt mito walked over. "So, I don't know how to edit a video" Gon said awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head. Aunt mito smiled, "I guess I could help, I'm not an expert but it should work" so Killua watched as they uploaded the video onto a computer, then edited the beginning and end a little bit so it ended and started in the right spot. "Wow, usually they take a lot more editing. Since this is just a music video essentially, the only places that really need to be edited is the beginning and the end. The end needs an outro usually, we can work on that later" Killua nodded, then Gon clicked over to his channel on the computer and subscribed to Killua with his own account.
After that he saw a blank box where he was supposed to put in some words. "What goes there?" Gon smiled. "You tell a bit about yourself there. I've already got a small bio for you that I made. If you don't like it you can change it alright?" he nodded, then watched as Gon copied and pasted some words. Killua read them after he was finished. 'Hello, this is Awai Hana. I like to sing and decided that I was going to start a youtube channel once a video of me singing went viral. I have a split personality disorder, which means I have two separate personalities. Awai, and Kitten. Awai isn't my real name, but it's what I go by on this channel. I also like to do cosmetics, and I'm into fashion. I spend a lot of my time skating as well'
Killua finished reading and thought for a moment. Hmm...I like it. "So, what do you think?" Gon asked, giving him another warm smile. Killua nodded. "I like it" Aunt mito took back over once it was saved and set up the video, adding a name and a description. "Alright, are we ready to post?" She asked, glancing over her shoulder. Gon looked at him, and he nodded. "Mhm" Then he pulled out his phone and started typing as aunt mito posted, the video was up and they clicked play as soon as it was. Killua watched himself sing, mouth slightly open. Woah... "I'm going to the video of you singing that went viral and adding a link to your profile, that should boost your views" He said cheerily, then he stuck his tongue out a little as he kept tapping. "Oh yeah! Also I'm telling Kurapika we posted your channel today. And Leorio, ahh! I wish I had more friends so I could recommend you to people"
Aunt mito laughed a little, "He'll do fine Gon. I bet once people find out it exists it'll blow up just like the first video did" Then Gon gasped and he jumped slightly. "Oh! We could do that song! What's it called? The one you sang in the store?" He blinked. "Wellerman?" Gon nodded. "We could redo that one and post it as well. It'll have better quality and stuff!" Killua thought on that. "Ok" He stood back up and walked over to his recording station, the computer was on a desk on the other side of the room. Gon blinked in surprise. "Right now? Didn't you just do one like 30 minutes ago?" Why not? He shrugged, then bounced up and fiddled with the speaker. "Ehhh, I can't find an instrumental. Is it fine just to do without it?"
Killua nodded and Gon went back to the camera. "Alright, we're on. Start when you want" Killua nodded again, then pressed play and set his hands on the mic. He thump his foot into the ground for the rhythm, it was necessary. "There once was a ship that put to sea~"
The song ended, Gon stopped recording. It took another 15 minutes to edit and then by the time they got to posting his eyes widened slightly when he saw that on his first video he already had 103 views, 98 likes, and 14 comments. "How?" Gon beamed. "During editing I commented on a few more videos of you singing and people started clicking on the link" Killua scrolled down into the comments and he felt his lips part slightly. 'So awesome!', 'you've got a beautiful voice Awai!', 'can I suggest a song?', 'are you making another one?' He smiled a little, then clicked on the third comment and typed. 'sure, no guarantees but I might' He clicked on the fourth and responded as well. 'yeah, I'm planning on doing lots more' Aunt mito sighed. "Just posted the second one." Killua felt an arm around him and immediately knew it was Gon's. "From now on I'm only editing one a day though, I have a life too" Aunt mito said firmly. Gon beamed, "Alright! We can do that, right Killua?" He nodded, smiling a little down at his comments section. This feels...nice.
