Affection is difficult || A Hunter x reader story

The curse you laid on me

{Hunter's pov}

My damn insomnia disturbs me way too much sometimes. I wake up multiple times at night, at the same times as well. Once every hour is most common, but tonight, was definitely something different.
First off, I'm not alone. Y/N is sleeping beside me. I said to them that the bed was wide enough for both of us, but that's on the verge of the truth. I am laying at the edge of the bed, just to make the little distance between us. I could move closer, but it feels so weird.

I may not know Y/N that well, plus that they are a prisoner, but there is this thing about them that just make me want to..run. And fast.

Or like I have already run a marathon. My deep breaths, my body shaking, my heart that pounds hard in my chest and my head is totally empty. The thoughts of nothing and everything at the same time. I don't know this curse- or feeling inside, but I like it, crazy enough.

I looked over at them and saw Y/N shaking. Their blanket had fallen off the bed and now they were freezing. My floor is noisy, so walking around the bed to pick up the blanket would wake Y/N up. My palisman could maybe help. I looked over at Li'l Rascal, but they were sleeping as well.
I had to do plan B.

I skipped closer to them and already felt my face burning. 'Control yourself Hunter!' I thought to myself and ignored my red face. I opened up my blanket and tossed over their body. I then slowly and gently held them close to me, like..like a hug perhaps. They were freezing for a while, their skin were just like ice. Luckily, I was warmer and they snuggled into my chest. 
Our faces were inches apart and I felt their small breathing meeting my skin, making me flinch. I'm new to this 'hug' thing and I hope I use it in good times.

"hmmh...Hunter..." Y/N whispered, still sleeping peacefully against me. I completely FROZE and even my ears were burning.

"You..you are dreaming about me?" I whispered to myself, and tried to unfreeze myself. I then brushed my fingers thru their soft hair. My fingers trailed by the side of their face. Their skin were soft too and smoother than I imagined. My hand stopped at their chin, and my thumb touched their lower lip.
I took a closer look.
Their lips were soft as well like their hair and smooth skin.
I leaned my face closer, but I stopped, and noticed my actions. I backed away, blushing crazy and told myself to stay in control.

There is no wonder that Y/N is a magical witch, I can't control myself with the curse they laid on me.

{Your pov}

The suns first rays lighted up my face, making me open my eyes. I tried i stretch, but the arms around me stooped the process. I tilted my head up and saw Hunter's face and his messy hair. He was sleeping, hugging me close under his blanket. I couldn't help but blush at our, comfortable but weird, situation.

I crawled myself out from his embrace and out off bed. My feet touched the soft blanket on the floor, which secured the sounds of my steps. I changed to my regular clothes and went my way to open the door. I didn't want to wake Hunter up, he needs to sleep, just look at the bags under his eyes! Besides, It's better this way, I wasn't suppose to be here anyways.

I went out the door and walked a few steps away until-

"What are you doing outside your cell!?" Kikimora shouted, making the other guards wake up and see what was going on.

"Emperor Belos would like to hear your successful escaping. YOU TWO, COME WITH ME!" Kikimora said and pointed at two of the tired guards. They held me by my arms and followed kikimora.

I once again stood in front of the big door to the emperor. The doors opened and the emperor sat in his throne, just like the first time we met. The bruises on Hunter came to mind as I saw emperor Belos, I couldn't help but get mad.

"Your prisoner have been escaping multiple times my emperor. What would you like me to do with them?" Kikimora asked, grabbing my arm hard.

"You have been a true struggle, Mx Alinac. But I know what to do with you." The emperor said, not moving from his seat. The fear of getting bruises increased as the silence grew.

"You, Mx Alinac, are not a prisoner, you will instead be treated as a guest." Emperor Belos said. Kikimora, the two guards and me got very confused.

What the-?

"Let's see if you change your mind with my more 'gentle' hands" He said and started to walk away from us. When Kikimora started to ask why, the emperor just gave her a stare, making her stop. He looked over at me and the coldness went up my spine as his eyes laid on me.

"You would know everything about gentle hands, wouldn't you Mx Alinac, I mean, you are your mothers child after all.." He lastly said and walked completely away. I stood in shook, didn't know what to say or do.

'He knows about my mother?'
