[he glances at Blue, a little shyly. it's selfish, maybe, trying to draw comparisons for clarity in his own feelings. but to be fair, Killua has no idea what's normal in friendships... even now, he doesn't have a great idea of what boundaries are totally normal, even if intuitively, he's only just beginning to understand what is and isn't healthy.]
