My Golden Guard (Edric X Hunter)

4- Hunter's POV

I touch my lips while going to see my Uncle. I can't believe I bit Edric. He tasted like the smell of vanilla. (I hope you understood what I meant by "tasted like the smell of vanilla") I grin slightly before entering my Uncle's throne room. I open ths door, finding him polishing his helmet.

"Hunter. You visited the prisoner?" Uncle Belos asks, not looking at me, his expression stone cold. I sigh. "Yes sir. He's umm.. he's my friend." I say, rubbing my elbow, tapping my foot. "Kikimora said you two were... occupied when she walked in..." Uncle Belos says, glancing up at me. I blush furiously. "Uhm... I-" I stammer. "I don't know, Hunter... emotional connection to... people in general... It leaves you vulnerable." He says, putting his helmet down next to his throne. "I understand sir..." I mumble.

He sighs and walks up to me, putting his hands on my shoulders. "If you believe him innocent, I will let him go, but I don't know if I want you being around him like that, Hunter." He says, trying to sound compassionate, sounding more ominous instead. "Don't go all homophobic on me, Uncle. It won'tbe a good day for you." I say. I don't really fight against my Uncle Belos, but when it comes to rights, I will dominate him. "No, no, its not that at all. I don't give two flying fucks, okay? Its just that it will distract you. You don't need that in your life." He says, walking back to his throne. I growl silently.

"Do you believe the boy didnt mean to violently harass you?" Belos asks. "He was just being funny. If someone violently harassed me, I would fight back, not sit there." I say, looking at my feet. "Well he will be released then. Goodbye, Hunter." Uncle Belos dismisses me. I walk out swiftly, ready to let Edric out.

I unlock the door, and reach my hand out to him. "I knew you could do it, my hero." Edric says, messing around. "Of course I did, Ed." I grin, kissing his hand. He grins and closes the wooden dungeon door, pinning me to the wall. "Thanks, Hunter." He whispers in my ear. My breath hitches when he kisses my neck lightly. I rub circles on his neck with my index finger, and he grins, nipping the sensitive part of my neck, just under jaw, and a sound escapes my mouth. I slap my hand over it and pull away in shock. "What is it?" He asks, looking concerned. "Did I overstep?" He asks. "No, no. I just- it was sudden." I chuckle lightly. He nods, grabbing my hand. We stay silent for a while, staring at the ground.

"Well um... My mom will kill me if I don't get home soon. I'll see you tomorrow, Hunter." He grins, kissing my hand gently and walking out. I walk to my room, getting a weird look from Kikimora on the way there. I close my door and look in the mirror. My face turns pale when I see the bite mark under my jaw, left there by Edric. "Dammit" I mutter, rubbing it.
