Obsidian Blood
Chapter One: Prologue
Rating: Mature
Content:
Killua was eleven when he tried running away from home. His plans were thwarted, and now, over a decade later, his only hope of gaining freedom for himself and Alluka is by playing his family’s games and being the best assassin heir he can be.
Things are going about as well as you’d expect, until a treasure hunt grabs his attention.
HxH: The Apology You Didn't See
Gon, with his whole heart, apologizes to Killua after the Chimera Ant arc.
This whining on the floor scene is not his apology. It is a reaction to Killua bringing up the things that hurt him, after they undoubtedly talked about it, and rubbing salt into Gon’s guilt-ridden wounds. Notice that Gon doesn’t complain or say, “I already said sorry!” He just gets to his knees and apologizes, again. He is owning his mistakes, the ones Killua isn’t yet ready to let go of entirely, and Alluka scolds him for it. Her calling him out is the only reason Killua backtracks and says the most important line that proves a significant scene occurred between them off-screen: “You already apologized.”
In both the anime and the manga, the Japanese clearly says it: もう謝ってもらったし
The “mou” is the “already,” and interestingly enough, it’s put into a list by the use of “shi,” which functions a bit like “and” might: You apologized to me and Alluka is free because of you, by the way, she healed you.
Both Gon’s apology, and Alluka’s freedom, are clearly topics they’ve discussed before. Her ability is not. Why does he suddenly reveal it at this time? Unfortunately, this post isn’t about that; it’s about the apology we didn’t see, and more importantly, the promise we didn’t hear.
How do we know there was a promise?

extra doodle:
the challenge with what’s going on right now in my personal life is it’s kind of just given me this constant underlying, anticipatory stress. which i’ve noticed tends to get in the way of my writing, especially when it’s smut
some days are good, some days are bad. i’m just kind of distracting myself right now with work and playing Schedule I lmfao
that said, i’ve definitely made some progress on this last chapter, but the main struggle is it’s gonna be huge 💀 there’s no getting around it, either, no places where i feel i could comfortably cut it off and split it into two chapters
it’s currently 6k words and i think i still have half of it left to write. so it’s basically gonna be half the size of the fic 😭😂
