Chapter Text
“Dinner’s ready!” Kurapika’s voice calls out in the new home he and Leorio have moved into. Gathered together in the den are Alluka, Mito, and Leorio, having small talk. It’s spring again, and Mito wanted to visit Gon in the city, knowing he, Killua, and Alluka would be staying here before their next excursion. Killua and Gon come racing down the stairs, as if still children fighting for who can get to the food first.
They all sit down together, say a traditional Kurta prayer, before digging into the food Kurapika has prepared meticulously. The dinner is lively, filled with banter from Gon, Killua, and Leorio with laughs from the rest of the room. The sun sets upon them through large windows and as they’re bathed in warm hues of yellow and orange, Gon looks over to Killua and smiles. Killua looks at him, a blush creeping over his features. “What is it?” he asks as the rest of the table keeps up the conversation. Gon’s smile is earnest. “I’m just really happy we’re here, together.” Killua’s face burns redder and he scoffs “You’re an idiot” and Gon laughs softly. There’s a beat before Killua swallows his pride and returns to Gon “Me too.” he says, grabbing Gon’s hand under the table.
The two return to the conversation at the table, both allowing themselves to feel something they haven’t felt in a long time-- the sensation of being home.
