Between Killua and Gon, who do you think is more likely to admit their feelings/initiate romance? also how do you think/hope they'd be as a couple?

i’ve already touched upon why killua will be unlikely to confess his feelings first here. so if gon does have romantic feelings towards killua (i actually think that the reading where killua’s crush is unrequited is valid), he will be the first to talk to killua about it. gon struggles with feelings of sadness and jealousy, but he has no problem expressing love and appreciation. i am actually of the opinion that for gon, not yet confessed romantic feelings won’t have any of the usual (for the media at least) connotations of embarrassment, vulnerability and self-doubt (the way they do for killua, btw!). in a way, gon is more experienced than killua: social interaction and the way romantic relationships work doesn’t pose any difficulty to him, and i’m inclined to think that by the time they start dating, gon is going to have more actual experience with romantic relationships than killua. but only if he doesn’t regain his nen early on — this way he’ll have some time to settle into a ‘normal’, regular life of a charming teenage boy. if he gets his nen back he is out of the safety of whatever town/city he happens to be staying in at the moment because Adventures and Life-Threatening Risk Taking are much more interesting than a long-term committed romantic relationship with a person that won’t follow him around like a lost puppy (looking at you killua, thank god you cut that out). 

so yep, gon is going to be the first. no nervousness, no sweaty hands, only the most charming of smiles and romantic dates and repressed sadness.

as for how they could be like as a couple… one thing i know for sure is that they would probably be apart quite a lot. gon, like his father, won’t be able to settle down in one place, and killua, who i think longs for some kind of stability and the sense of normalcy, a 9-to-5 job and a white picket fence, will have trouble achieving that because he is almost as much of an adrenaline junkie as gon. but while they are together, they never get tired of each other’s company, and get into hilarious shenanigans all the time even well into their adult lives.
