Affection is difficult || A Hunter x reader story

The market

I asked. and asked. and asked again, but he refused to answer any of I wondering. He just whiffed his hand, commanding to take me away as he went off as well.

My head was a mess.
I didn't know much about my family history, or my mother. My father always told me that it was better without any hurting details, that I should just walk away and live on. He could never do that, but I can because I was very young when she disappeared. I have only a few memories of her, when she was happy. I remember her love for dancing, and helping others of course. It was those memories that made my decision to study the healing track from the beginning. Just like mom.

With one guard on each side of me, and Kikimora on the front, the big doors closed behind me as we walked out. I didn't notice where we were going until we went upstairs and thru the long hallway. Kikimora than stopped in front of a door with a key in her hand. She opened it and showed the room to me. I looked closely at the door's plate: 'Guest room Nr. 5'

"You will be staying here until changed commands from the emperor" Kikimora said almost leaving.

"shouldn't I be in the cell?" I asked.

"If you want to be there then there are no problem-" She said before I interrupt her.

"No,no! It's fine! This will be just fine!" I said quickly. She rolled her eyes as she and the guards walked away.
I closed the door and turned around to look at the room. The color scheme were the same as the healing coven colors. It had a beautiful bed, a desk, a bookshelf with different sizes of books and a large window with blue curtains. Sadly, the window were not able to open. But the good news was the personal bathroom.

I decided to take a hot shower to calm myself and my thoughts down. I never knew how much impact hot showers really were for me. I dried my hair and fixed it like I usually had it. But nothing could stop the voice in my head from getting louder with their questions. Luckily, I think, someone knocked at my door. I changed to clean clothes and opened the door to reveal...a guard?

"Hii Y/N! I know as a emperor's coven guard-because I am one, that It would be seen as unprofessional - i mean- 'unemperor's guard like' of me if I told you this as a prisoner. But because you are not a prisoner anymore, but a guest! I really wanted to tell- OH YEAH! I forgot to introduce myself, my name is-"

"STEVE!?" Someone shouted along the hallway and they were coming closer towards us.

"Who are you talking to?"

It appeared to be Hunter in his golden guard uniform. He looked at me and immediately changed his angry expression to a more surprised one.

"I was just talking to Y/N! I was just gonna tell-" Steve started.

"It's Mx Alinac for you Steve, go! You are needed for patrolling anyway." Hunter said pushing Steve away.

"Yes, Golden guard!" Steve answered running thru the hallway and down to the other guards. I looked at Hunter and couldn't help myself but giggle a little.

"I know! Steve is a bit..unusual from the rest of them" Hunter said. I stepped away from the door, welcoming Hunter to my new room. He walked in and closed the door behind him.

"Didn't know that prisoners got V.I.P rooms" He said and walked in, looking around.

"Yeah, so I'm not a prisoner but a 'guest' in the emperor's words" I said and Hunter looked back at me confused.

"Don't ask me why, I don't know either" I said and seated myself on the bed. My eyes laid on Hunters ribs.

"How are you feeling?" I asked. He looked at me and sat on the bed as well.
