imagine that killua and gon hit massive growth spurts at the age of fourteen, but they are really sporadic, so that one year killua is the taller one, the next year it’s gon, etc. they make a competition out of it, but when they turn seventeen they come to a sort of stalemate where they appear to be about the same height. this shit can’t be resolved with rock-paper-scissors, so they come to leorio to Settle This. after measuring their heights, leorio tells them that they are perfectly even.
he reveals to kurapika that gon turned out to be half an inch taller, but leorio decided to omit that information. kurapika deems it a wise decision.
(killua and gon keep cycling through these growth spurts until they are twenty. who ends up being the taller one? hmmmm who knows)
