    Summary

    “But that’s not the point. The point is that some really terrible things happened to you. And you can call it training to try to justify it, but it doesn’t change anything. It doesn’t change the fact that you were poisoned and tortured with electricity and God knows what else and you were a child, Killua. You were just a kid. So what I’m trying to say is that if after all that happened you’re still you, you’re still brave and kind and good, you’re not cruel or violent or horribly twisted, and the only way it affects you is that you have some nightmares about it, then it just proves what I’ve always known. That you’re the strongest and most exceptional person I’ve ever met. And that’s why you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed about.”

    In which Gon proposes a simple solution to Killua's nightmares.

    Summary

    “It is fun to watch you two trying to out-do each other in the nobility department, though,” Taupher continues.  “That ‘hurt me instead’ song and dance doesn’t typically last too long once I’ve actually started in on someone.  Pain’s the most primal human sensation.  All that higher level stuff--love, commitment, honor, courage, integrity--crumbles in an instant if the pain is bad enough.  But not you two, huh?  You really mean it.  You really would take the worst, most excruciating agony imaginable over seeing the other suffer.  I’ve been doing this a while, and I’ll tell you, something like that is pretty rare.”

    In which there are worse things to suffer than pain.

    Summary

    "The whole situation feels like a train barreling down the tracks, brakes gone out entirely.  Killua’s hardly been in Gon’s hotel room for longer than a few minutes, but things have already reached an uncontrollable speed.  Gon can hardly keep up with everything Killua’s saying, everything he’s confessed, and he’s terrified of doing something rash, twisting Killua’s words to suit his own ends.  All Killua’s said is that he likes when Gon touches him.  It doesn’t mean what Gon wants it to, that Killua feels as Gon does.  Of course it doesn’t.  But Gon remembers the law of inertia from grade school.  As things go faster and faster, it would be so very easy to get caught up in all the forward momentum, to lean forward and cradle Killua’s face and..."

    In which a Nen ability compels Killua to tell the truth, and yet Gon somehow still manages to misunderstand him.

    Summary

    The first thing your soulmate says to you is printed in red on your arm until you meet them. Then, the words turn black.

    When Killua meets Gon while in the middle of an assassination, he tries to ignore the ties that bind them. But Gon isn't so keen on that, and neither is Illumi.

    Summary

    “Is someone trying to capture you? A Blacklist Hunter, maybe?”

    No.” A pause. “Well. Technically, yes, but-”

    “But it’s nothing to worry about!” Alluka finished and waved her hands at Zushi, who had turned white. “It’s okay, really!”

    Wing said gently, “Killua. Alluka. If there’s anyone who’s out to seek revenge, or even if its a family member-”

    “It’s not like that,” Killua insisted with a grimace and Alluka nodded at his side. Killua added, "And I took care of Illumi years ago. He'd have to be crazy to attack us now."

    “Then who's after you?” Zushi finally cried out, throwing his hands into the air.

    Killua rolled his eyes. “It’s Gon, obviously!”
