“Why can’t I audition for the Swan Princess?”
Au where Gon and Killua are students in an elite ballet school and there are many End of School year Ballets of different skill levels depending on what year you’re in. For the 5th year (at 12 years old), the End of School year Ballet was decided to be Swan Lake. Many of the female students are excited to get the lead role of the white swan to dance with Killua (the top ballet male student in class and shoe-in to get the prince role).
“Students who are getting ready to apply for the White Swan, please step to the mirror now. Everyone else, please move to the barre on the other side of the room.” The teacher said, directing the flow of young students, walking with springs in their steps on the ball of their feets. Many girls gave giggling and friendly smiles towards Killua who positioned himself somewhere to see the auditions well.
“Oh, no, Gon, the White Swan is a female role, please come back this way.” The teacher said, and Gon looked up startled from his position among the other girls. The began giggling teasingly at him, and Gon huffed angrily, crossing his arms.
“Why can’t I?” Gon frowned. He thought this play was beautiful, especially the princess, and he wanted that role. If he can do it well, why not? The teacher fret a moment.
“Well, it will be hard for the male students to do the dance with you, with no volunteers, it will have to remain-” The teacher began, but Killua stepped forward- intrigued with Gon’s logic. Yea, why can’t he?
“I’ll dance with him.” Killua said, raising a hand.
