Chapter Text
Killua walked into his apartment after having a rather gloomy day. He turned on the dim lights and looked around. There was the couch, the small coffee table, a separate coffee table, and 2 corridors. Down one corridor was the kitchen, something he hardly ever used. Killua knew he was a terrible cook. Along the other corridor was a hallway that leads to three different rooms. The bathroom, his bedroom, and a guest bedroom that he just uses for storage, it wasn't like he had any guest. He dropped his bags and just fell onto his couch, moaning in complaints. He recently got a new job, something he isn't particularly proud of. He got a job at the local Mcdonalds. At the time it seemed right, minimum wage pay, close to the apartment, and a relatively decent distance from his school. He hasn't got the chance to meet any co-workers that he can at the very least endure. Most of the ones he met were teenage boys that want some money to go on a date. A few actually misgendered him thinking he was female. He was slightly irritated but it's not the first time and probably not the last time either. Yet he knows he can't really hold it against them, he certainly had some feminine features he was secretly proud of. About 10 minutes after he plopped himself onto the couch and fell asleep.
Killua woke up, only to be blinded by his dim lights. With a painful groan, he checked the time on his phone. 3:23. He sat up, waddled over to the hallway, made a right turn, put his phone to charge, and collapsed on the bed.
𝘉𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘉𝘦𝘦𝘱. Killua shifts his body to try and ignore the alarm but to no avail. He slowly rises up, paying close attention to his surroundings, only to hear the bed creak to his movements. He turns off the alarm and smacks his lips. He unglues himself from the uncomfy bed and slips on the hardwood floor because of those damn fluffy socks. "fack." Killua says as he slowly gets up. He walks out the door and heads straight into the bathroom right in front of his room. He turns on the light and turns the nobs on the shower. The water starts running. He starts to remove his clothes, wincing at some dull pain. He removes his shirt first, then the shorts, and finally some rather tight underwear that has been hurting his morning wood. He steps into the shower only to hate life and the human race. He was still...wearing those damn fucking socks. He removed them and flung them at the wall, with the socks making the "splat" sound. He then takes a rather enjoyable shower.
About 25 minutes later he gets out of the shower, wraps himself around a towel, and heads back to his room. He starts to dry his hair which takes a good 10 minutes. Once he finished with that he put on his Mcdonalds's uniform. He hated how brightly colored and dull it was at the same time, reminded him of a depressed clown, nonetheless he put the uniform on. He grabbed his phone, shoved it in his pocket, and walked out of the apartment.
After 10 minutes of walking, he makes it to the fast-food joint. He walked in to find someone that was new. "Hello there, are you the new worker?" said the blonde person.
Killua responded with "Of course, I don't remember seeing you here yesterday." The blonde person replied, "Sorry, I was out with my boyfriend." As they said that the person made a weird chuckle, Killua caught wind of this and thought that the person was probably meant to be there yesterday.
"By the way, what are your pronouns?" This question took Killua by surprise, usually, people just assume or, you know, don't talk about him. This gave Killua a faint smile that he hid practically immediately.
"He/him." He answered, after a small pause he asked, "What about you? Also, I never caught your name" The blonde person gave a noticeable smile, "Kurapika, They/them, he/him. And what's your name stranger?" "Killua, Killua Zoldyck."
"Well then Killua Zoldyck, let me show you around. Today it's just you, me, and the main cook, Ponzo."
A loud yell came from the kitchen, "HI STRANGER, I LIKE BEES."
"..."
"Okay"
"Yeahhhhh, Ponzo says that a lot, ignore her"
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH YOU POKEMON THAT ONLY OLD PEOPLE KNOW"
Killua was going to like it here.
