Mesmerizing (killua x black reader)

Chapter 37

At 8:24 after talking, eating, and being

Earlier you stuck your box under Gon's bed so they wouldn't have a reason to ask about it again. Gon was currently digging through his suitcase while you were laid on on his bed watching your (Fav Anime). While Killua sat in the moved orange bean bag chair. "I found my Aloe Vera mask!" Gon said holding up the bottle. 

"Wow look at you and your twin" you said, pointing to the picture of the plant on the bottle. Gon rolled his eyes before walking into the bathroom.  As you got up to follow Gon, you glanced back at Killua "You should come to, you look like you need this mask"

He looked up at me, wearing a small smirk on his face "I'll have you know, my face is quite clean without me having to use any type of skin care routine"

"Clean doesn't mean invincible, Snowflake. Come on—your skin's been through more than enough trauma. One swipe of aloe won't kill you."

He rolled his eyes but didn't look away, still half-smirking. You leaned against the bathroom doorframe. "Besides, if it's so unnecessary, you won't mind proving it. Right? Or are you secretly afraid of glowing?"

Killua blinked, like you'd challenged him to a duel.

"Fine," he muttered, pushing off the beanbag chair. "But if I start radiating like Gon's lamp, I'm blaming you."

Gon's bathroom echoed the same funky-classy charm as the rest of the suite. The walls were tiled with iridescent sea-glass mosaics, catching hints of aqua and coral with every flicker of the jellyfish-shaped vanity lights.  A large circular mirror framed in driftwood hung above a marble sink shaped like a clamshell, complete with gold fixtures shaped like sea creatures. The Aloe vera bottle stood neatly next to rolled hand towels folded into hibiscus flowers, and a faint tropical citrus scent lingered in the air like a vacation memory. And then there was Gon, who sat on the marble toilet.

"If I didn't know any better I'd think you were taking a shit" you said, staring at his posture as he sat on the toilet. "Nah, ya'll would be kicked outta here before anything came out of me" he said, shaking his head.

Killua leaned on the door frame, he watched you take the aloe vera bottle, As you squeeze the aloe mask onto your fingers, Gon tilts his head slightly, watching you.

"Do you think scars ever go away completely? Like... even the ones no one can see?"

You pause mid-motion, smoothing the mask over his cheek. The light jellyfish glow makes his eyes look a little more serious than usual.

"Some fade," you say quietly. "Some get softer. But I think the ones that shape you don't really disappear—they just... stop hurting as much."

Gon looks down for a beat, then up at you again with a small smile. "Or you could just play video games and hope your problems disappear" Killua said sarcastically, now leaning against the sink. 

"I tried that, it does not work bro" he said, lightly shaking his head. "Alright" you said, tilting Gon's head, eyes scanning for any missing spots "You're up next Killua".

Killua pointed at himself as if the words had somehow bounced off him, expression twisted in mock confusion. "Me? Nah. You must've meant one of the other white haired people in the room"

Gon snorted from under your fingertips. "Just let her put the mask on, bro. It's refreshing. You might finally stop glaring at people like they peed in your cereal."

Killua rolled his eyes, but the corner of his mouth twitched like he was fighting a smile. "Fine. But if my skin starts glowing like one of those k-pop idols, I'm blaming you both."
