Your hair blew slightly as the wind started to pick up the pace, you were standing on the edge of the ship and admiring the beautiful ocean
You turned your head to see a young boy with spiky hair. He wore a green top with shorts and matching green boots. He was waving goodbye to everyone in Whale Island
He seem bright and optimistic, you slightly smiled at the sight of him. It quickly turned into a frown when you overheard the other passengers mocking him
It seems like it didn't bother him as he started walking, your eyes never leaving his sight. You decide to follow him, but you couldn't understand why though. As you stopped beside him, he looks at you with Curiousity
"Are you alright...? If you want I can beat them up for you.."
You joked slightly, you weren't gonna beat them up but you wanted to
"Oh it's okay! You don't have to"
He reassured
"Well darn..."
"I'm Gon! What's your name?"
He introduced himself, holding a hand out for you to shake it
"(Y/n).. Nice to meet you gon" you returned the handshake
Both of you then heard a thump followed with a voice saying "What are you doing, Katsuo?"
You both turn to see 3 sailors, one of them on the floor with a crate of apples
"At this rate, you'll never make a decent sailor"
They laughed as Katsuo tries to get up, only for one of the sailors to kick him back down, sending him flying over the crate
You looked at the scene blankly, but in reality your mind had some colorful things to say about those sailors
But since a child was present, you decide to keep it in for now
"Why are you bent over?" (😳)
"Hey, losers!" A voice called out, making the two other sailors shut up as they look at the source of the voice
"Don't slack off!" The Captain said
"Aye, sir!" They both said frantically as they immediately went back to work
The Captain walks toward Katsuo, who was picking up the apples that had fallen out
"Hey! Didn't you hear me? Move that box!"
"Aye, Captain!" Katsuo then quickly picks up the box, before Gon calls out to him
"Hold on!"
Gon tosses the green apple to him and he was able to catch it in the crate
He thanked him before running off
You were spacing out the entire time until you heard a bunch of seagulls making noises above you
"Oh god.. It's those rats with wings.. " you muttered to yourself
"A storm's coming" Gon said, you and the Captain look at him
"How can you tell, boy?" He asked Gon
"That's what the seagulls are saying"
"What?"
"Gon you speak bird..?" You asked him, but he didn't answer
"Plus... " he sniffs the air, before doing cool flips and climbing on top of the crow's nest
You looked at him in awe, you didn't expect a kid like him to be able to do that. You were definitely impressed
"It's a huge storm that's coming!" Gon informed them, the Captain looking at him surprised
"It's true! I can tell by the smell!"
"Oh my god he's like a puppy.. " you muttered in realization, already visualizing him with dog ears and a tail. It made you melt, he definitely has golden retriever energy
You completely missed the fact that he said there was a huge storm coming, but it couldn't be that bad, right?
❀•°•═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════•°•❀
Aha you bet you were expecting to get sick? You're too badass (and out of touch with reality) to care about that
But in all seriousness, you were casually sitting on one of the crates while playing a video game on your console
You would help Gon to take care of the other examiners, but you honestly couldn't care less
You notice two other people who were unaffected by the storm, a cute blondie who looked about to be the same age as you and a tall man with a suit, he looked like a business man
You suddenly felt someone staring at you, you look up to see the Captain eyeing on you. You went back to playing your game without a second thought
Then you heard the Captain calling out to you, gon and the two other guys who weren't sick in the slightest
All of you were now standing in the main control room with the captain
"First, tell me your names" The Captain started
"I'm Gon!"
"(Y/n)... "
"I'm Kurapika"
"It's Leorio"
"Why do you wanna become hunters?"
"Hey! If you're not an examiner, you can't boss us around!" Leorio exclaimed while pointing a finger at him
"Just answer the question!" The Captain said, starting to lose his patience
"My dad is a hunter! I left Whale Island because I want to know why my dad desired so much to be a hunter"
"Do you even know where he is?... " You softly asked him, yawning slightly
"Not a clue!" He admitted
"Your dad really left you to find the milk huh?.. " you mumbled without a second thought, not realizing what you just said
"Milk? Why would he try to find milk?" Gon asked in confusion
"What about you, girl?" The Captain suddenly asked you
"Hm? Me? Uhh... I.. My sister wanted me to take the hunter exam.. So I did... "
You explained to them, leaving the part out about the deal you made with Monomi
"Hey, you two!" Leorio called out to you and gon, you both look up at him
"You're not supposed to answer his questions!"
"Why can't we tell him why we're here?" Gon questioned him
"Not a team player, huh? I don't wish to reveal why I'm here"
"I agree with Leorio" Kurapika finally spoke up
"What? Hey!! Aren't you younger than I am? Show some respect!" He yelled at the Blondie
"It's quite simple to avoid pesky questions by offering a plausible lie"
"Hey! Are you listening to me!"
"Can you please just shut up..?" You asked him in slight annoyance, but he ignores you
"However, it is quite shameful to reply upon deceit. That's said, if I were to tell you the truth, I would be exposing my deepest secrets"
All of them listened to his monologue, except for you because you were too busy admiring his beauty. He looked so much more prettier than you, you think to yourself
'Damn, he was blessed with good genetics'
"That's why I cannot provide an answer" he finishes, Leorio continuing to tell at him about ignoring him
"In other words, you refuse to answer my question. Hey, Katsuo" he called out to the sailor you and gon met earlier
"Aye, captain!"
"Tell the examination board that we have two dropouts"
Kurapika and Leorio looked at the captain in surprise
"What do you mean?" Leorio asked in confusion
"You still haven't figured it out? The Hunter Examination has already begun" the captain brought up to them
"What?"
'oh shit- did not see that coming.. '
