[characters]: kurapika kurta, killua zoldyck, gon freecss, illumi zoldyck, chrollo lucilfer, feitan porter
[notes]: super fluffy!! i am currently feeding my huuugee hxh hyperfixation right now so enjoy
our dear kurapika is a very respectful man!! and this respect stands out tenfold when you finally get together
kurapika’s kisses are mostly placed upon your hands, whether its your palms, your knuckles or your pulse point
it feels so intimate to him, and he feels like he is truly expressing the affection he feels for you
initiating a kiss on the lips is rare for him, simply because there’s still a part of him trying to respect your non-existent boundaries, but — he will never shy away from receiving a kiss from you
he carries around some exaggerated responsibility to express his immense appreciation for the hands that care for him and show him so much love every day
i didn’t need to think about this one at all, killua’s main route when it comes to kissing you is your nose
it’s quick, simple, and not overwhelmingly intimate — which is perfect for him, because it lets him show affection without feeling exposed or embarrassed
there’s something about the way your nose scrunches after he kisses it that makes him feel like he’s being let into a part of you nobody else gets to see
he’ll act so casual about it too, like leaning in to kiss your nose was no big deal, but everyone can see how pink his ears get every single time
his natural instinct, every single time, is to kiss you right on the forehead
to him, a forehead kiss is the warmest kind of affection: it’s grounding, protective, and full of that bright, uncomplicated love he carries for you
he’ll do it without thinking, too — greeting you, saying goodbye, pulling you into a hug, or even just walking past you, he’ll lean in and press a soft kiss right to your forehead like it’s second nature
it’s his favorite place because it feels like he’s pouring warmth straight into you, like he’s giving you a piece of his endless sunshine every time his lips touch your skin
illumi isn’t someone who understands affection the way most people do, so the place he chooses to kiss you ends up being strangely intimate in a very him kind of way — he gravitates toward the side of your neck
it’s not meant to be seductive or dramatic; to him, your neck is simply a vulnerable spot, and placing a kiss there feels like a silent exchange of trust he doesn’t know how to verbalize
the gesture is always slow and deliberate, almost clinical at first, like he’s memorizing your pulse through his lips, but it carries a depth of feeling he doesn’t realize he’s revealing
he doesn’t kiss often, but when he does, the quiet press of his lips against your neck says everything he can’t, and it lingers in that eerie, gentle way that only illumi can manage
chrollo’s go-to place to kiss you is your temple, right between your brows
there’s something almost reverent about it to him — it’s quiet, steady, and intimate in a way that doesn’t demand anything from you
he likes that it makes you instinctively close your eyes, like you’re trusting him without even thinking about it
he kisses you there most often when he’s leaving, when he’s returning, or when he simply wants to reassure you without interrupting whatever you’re doing
it’s subtle, but it’s the kind of affection that lingers; his lips warm against your skin for just a moment too long, as if he’s silently claiming you as someone precious
feitan’s go-to place to kiss you is the underside of your jaw, right where it meets your neck
he likes that it makes you tilt your head just a little, giving him access without words; that tiny movement feels like trust, and he pays attention to it more than he lets on
the spot is vulnerable but not overly tender, which fits him perfectly — intimate without being soft in a way that would make him feel exposed
he prefers it because he can hide the affection behind the angle; it looks like he’s just leaning in or speaking low, but really he’s stealing a kiss you’ll feel for the rest of the day
