Gon stares at his reflection in the mirror, feeling unsatisfied about his appearance. The clothes prepared for him lie untouched.

‘’Hey Killua!” he yells out, still looking at his own face.

“Hm? What is it Gon?” the other boy replies from across the wall. He turns off the TV and opens the door to a small bathroom in their hotel room. “ You’ve been taking long, I started to get worried.” KIllua sees his roommate deep in thought accompanied by a concerned expression.

“Do you have a razor? Mine has gone dull.” Gon says, and only now he turns away from the mirror to face his boyfriend.

“Yeah, but it’s somewhere deep in my luggage, because I had no need for it. Come to think of it, I have never seen any of my family grow facial hair except grandpa” Killua replies to the boy. After some thought he blurts out a question “why do you even feel the need to shave so often? You look handsome like that”.

“It might sound kinda dumb, but I don’t want to look too much like Ging” Gon says.“ He’s a brilliant hunter and I followed in his footsteps, but I don’t feel like trying to be him. Mito says that I grew to resemble Ging a lot and I felt a need to be a little diffrent” he adds.

Suddenly the shorter boy jumps onto the taller one and smashes them to the ground. “Thanks for calling me handsome though” Gon expresses. It is followed with a gentle kiss on Killua’s cheek.

“Gon- you, get off idiot!” Killua shouts. “I’ll get you that razor and you start dressing up. I don’t want Alluka to sit alone waiting for us, you wasted enough time already with your stupid crisis” he blurts out.

“Okay Ki-llu-a” Gon snuggles against the other boy’s chest while chuckling. After some time he lets Killua go.
